Hello Beautiful Soul Sister and Brother,
It was late October. Do you remember that crazy
warm day we had? Well, yes that day!
We were a small group of brothers and sisters
gathered for an important ceremony...a land offering for healing.
As I was preparing the space with smoke, laying out all the
blankets, organizing the items for the offer, this little lady bumblebee came to personally say hi to me.
She first landed on my hand. She explored my fingers, my palm, my knuckles her
touch was so soft and her presence stopped me in my busyness as if to say
I see you, I feel you and I'm so happy that you are here. The bumblebee
made me feel appreciated, special and most of all loved and nurtured. Her caress
and gentleness will be a gift that will be imprinted on my heart forever.
She remained with us during the whole ceremony. She was either on my hand, my knee or resting on my medicines. And once the offering was laid out, she joyously drank and ate some of the water, sugar and rose petals that were part of the gift to Mother Earth.
To each soul sister and brother she represented something different. For one she was symbolic of the Divine Feminine, for others it was community, productivity, and brightness. Her message came to us on many levels and we embraced them all.
As we were wrapping up the ceremony she seemed to have disappeared. It was special to have seen her at all for it had been very cold in the prior days and all the bees were already hibernating.
That evening, at home I came into the back entrance to check on my dog and there on the floor was our lady bumblebee. It appeared she had traveled home with me without my knowing. Unfortunately, she did not survive her journey with me. I felt so much sadness for the loss of her life. I gently picked her up and gave her back to Mother Earth with a song of sorrow and a song of joy. For she truly brought so much to us during our special ceremony for the Earth.
Aho!
My Musings & Ponderings
🦋 Frozen in Winter
She has arrived, and she is here to stay for several months.
Yes she is called WINTER!
The air is COLD, the days are shorter, the sun is lower.
All signs of the magic of winter.
Personally, I've been feeling a different kind of Frozen.
You see Grant and I are getting ready to make a big change. One that requires
de-cluttering, downsizing in house, lowering our costs of living
if at all possible!.
This process creates stress for us.
There have been a few sleepless nights.
The uncertainty of our future and where we are going next.
We know we need to move, but we don't know where or when exactly!
It is a strange headspace to be in.
Every week, we go through our list of what needs to be repaired, replaced in
our beautiful home; who turned a 100 this year by the way! We've been making progress with preparations to move with the intention of leaving it in better condition then when we moved here 16 years ago. Last year we gave her a new hairdo with new shingles. We just completed replacing all 19 windows of this old gal. She can see really well now! ha ha! And we start painting next month.
We were remarking today that it feels like a grieving process, deciding what to keep, what to give and what to sell. When you've had a relationship with the Spirit of your house for 16 years there is much to siphon through, not just the stuff, but the memories--especially the memories.
I'm pretty good at manifesting. However, the tricky part is getting clear on what we want to call in.
One thing is for sure, I want the new owners to love this house as much as we do. I want the sale to be EASY and SMOOTH. I imagine someone walking up to the front door and saying to us: "Our family would love to live and love here. Would you be open to an offer?"
and
in this magical energetic exchange our new dream home will reveal itself to us.
Wish us luck,
Aho!
