Our Personal Truth

So where do I begin? I guess with my truth. I am a loving and compassionate being. I will always help others when I can and when I am able. I come from a place of honesty and integrity when it comes to being a player here on planet earth.

I believe in what I believe in. If I believe my divine duty is to ..let's say.. inform others about heart disease, then this is my truth and I have integrated this into my purpose through my experience. NOBODY can take that away from me. I feel that through my experience and the knowledge that came from the actual heart attack has helped me be more aware of heart disease ..and know it has been brought to my attention. When it comes to my spirituality I also have my personal beliefs and I truly remain open heart-ed and open minded. I read, listen, and experience life and my truth comes from my experience. Nobody else can have my experience..and vice versa. I believe that we each have our own intimate relationship with the divine and it is neither right or wrong..it just is!

I think that with any thing we do in life, we are unique in our own right. We are like a snowflake....each of us different. Our personal truth is no different than a snowflake...or a fingerprint for that matter! So each of us are unique in our own right and we each have our own personal truth. The beauty of it all....no one can take that away from you or I...No ONE!!

May you stand in your personal truth, and may it set you free!
Love and Blessings~

~Arcturus~ The Star of Joy

My favorite star in the Universe is Arcturus....(and the planet Venus and our Moon being top favorites too!) Arcturus in the constellation Bootes and is relatively close to earth in astronomical terms being only 43.9 light years away according to Hipparcos (an acronym for High Precision Parallax Collecting Satellite). It is one of the brightest stars in the sky, coming in third after Sirius and Canopus. It is the second brightest star in the Northern Hemisphere. Arcturus is more than likely older than our sun.

The name 'Arcturus' derives from the ancient Greeks and literally means 'Guardian of the Bear' and it is the left foot of it's constellation and is next to the greater and lesser bears....Ursa Major and Ursa Minor related to Greek mythology. Arcturus was created by Zeus and as the story goes of love, jealousy, rape, birth ...on and on...the star actually transforms into a bear and is considered to be a star of protection for eternity.

The Polynesian refer to this star as the 'star of joy' and prehistoric Polynesian navigators knew Arcturus as Hōkūleʻa, and it is the zenith star of the Hawaiian Islands. Arcturus is mentioned in the bible and Edgar Cayce has referred to Arcturus as the center of the Universe. I love that!!

Prayer~ Prayer~Prayer

If you want to receive divine light, pray. If you have begun to make progress and want this light to be intensified within you, pray. And if you have reached the summit of perfection and want to be super-illumined so as to remain in that state, pray.
~~Angela of Foligno
Complete Works (Paulist Press)

I pray today for love and healing to cover every inch of our planet. I ask that goodness, kindness, mercy, and miracles bless every individual. I ask for God to give me the patience and the forgiveness towards those that I feel have wronged others, including myself. I pray for the homeless and those who have lost their life's savings through greedy actions. I pray for the plant, animal, and mineral kingdoms and that they be brought back into beautiful balance and harmony. I pray for the elderly, the sick, and the children whom seem lost or separated. God I ask you to continue send your angels out in armies to assist humanity.

I ask for all of these things in the most powerful love for the Most High~
Amen Amen Amen

The Old Oak Tree

I grew up at the base of Mt. Diablo and I was surrounded by oak trees. Black Oak to be exact. These trees are big and beautiful. The Druids had a special relationship with the oaks. Theye were known to hold whispered consultations with oak trees by which means they determined both the past and divined the future. Druids. Druidhen, in the tongue of the ancient Gaels: "knowers of oak trees" The Druids met in groves of oaks for ceremony, nature's church, so to speak. The oak tree is a magnificent tree to be one with. I have read that the oak is very helpful in finding solutions to 'knotty problems' and also soothes the nervous system. The oak represents inner strength and power and can be used to tap into yours and make excellent wands just for this purpose.
I believe that by growing up around the oak trees helped me in being a stronger woman today. I climbed, swung, rode my horse through groves, and just sat under them as a child. I loved collecting the acorns and the oak balls. My dad use to cut up the dead trees on our property for firewood, and the smell of the burning oak leaves is a beautiful memory of my child hood. Sometimes I can just visualize the bonfire and smell those dried oak leaves burning.

LOVE YOURSELF!!!!

Today (if you do not already do this) take the time to love yourself. Honor who you are and what you are about. Be proud of your accomplishments, your downfalls, your achievements, your failures, and everything you stand for.

Love every part of you...inside and out! Be one with every cell in your body and bless every organ, every hair follicle, every inch of skin. Love your moods, your cries, your laughter, your voice. Understand that God created you so uniquely and in perfection. Be one with your body,mind and spirit! You are God...manifest!
Beautiful!
Have an incredible Love Yourself kind of day!
Desiree

Make the most of yourself, for that is all there is of you. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

~A Red Red Rose~

A Red, Red Rose
O my Luve's like a red, red rose
That's newly sprung in June:
O my Luve's like the melodie
That's sweetly play'd in tune!

As fair thou art, my bonnie lass,
So deep in love am I:
And I will love thee still, my dear,
Till a' the seas gang dry:

Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt with the sun;
I will luve thee still my dear,
When the sands of life shall run.

And fare thee weel, my only Luve,
And fare thee weel a while!
And I will come again , my Luve,
Tho' it were ten thousand mile.
~Robert Burns

about the Poet~
Robert Burns, a poor man, an educated man, and a ladies’ man, is representative of Scotland, much like whiskey, haggis, bagpipes, and kilts. He lived a life shortened by rheumatic heart disease, 1759-1796, but his life journey through poverty, informal education, disappointed love, nationalism, and literary and financial success can be identified by all Scots and common men the world over. He has become almost a national symbol of all things Scottish. His life is like a love story with a happy ending.

The Angelic Alphabet - Enochian alphabet

This alphabet was drawn on the 6th of May in 1583. It was written by a gentlemen named Sir Edward Kelly (EK).Sir Edward Kelly (1555-1597) claimed that the alphabet and the Enochian language was transmitted to him and the Court Astrologer and Magican Dr. John Dee by angels.

In Dee's diary this paragraph was written in regard to the alphabet:
These letters represent the creation of man, and therefore they must be in proportion. They represent the workmanship wherewithal the soul of man was made like unto his creator.

This alphabet is also called the Keys. It is used to call the angels.

Happy Earth Day 2009

Today is a good day to reflect on what you have done lately to be a good steward of our planet. I have really tried to recycle more, go green on my cleaning products, eat more organic, always pick up trash, and 'lose' the plastc bag when shopping!
I have purchased several of the green shopping bags...my favorite one is from Kohls...and it says...I am on a eco-trip! Love it! I also try to re-use items as much as possible. To keep things is perspective..practice the three R's of recycling.....REDUCE~REUSE~RECYCLE

Happy Earth Day .... and remember to love your Mother ...every single day!
Love and Blessings~

The Beauty of Patience~

“Patience is the companion of wisdom.”
~Saint Augustine

“The two most powerful warriors are patience and time.”
~Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy

“He that can have Patience, can have what he will”
~Benjamin Franklin

When I think of the lack of patience I think of how many times I have been cut off by other drivers or I have cut them off or trying to make things happen before their actual conception. Looking at patience as a virtue is the same as trusting in divine timing. I vision a planet that is blanketed in patience. How beautiful would that be? I think that if we all were a little more patient we would permeate so much more love and tolerance .......this is the stuff dreams are made of!

May your day be blessed with patience~
Desiree

At other times, just enjoy the company of angels. And ask God to let you know more about these wonderful beings.

- Joan Wester Anderson

I have been calling on Big Mike a lot!! It seems like the world is spinning out of control. I like to look at it like I am in the 'eye' of the perfect storm. Michael helps me stay in this space!

Archangel Michael I thank you for your love, your protection, and your unwavering faith to humanity. This I am grateful for in my love of the Most High.
Amen Amen Amen

Perserverance and Strength and Courage

You cannot run away from a weakness; you must sometimes fight it out or perish. And if that be so, why not now, and where you stand?
--Robert Louis Stevenson

When you come to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on.
~Franklin D. Roosevelt

Soul Rhapsody~ Epic Free Style Poetry

~*~Soul Rhapsody~*~

The essence of brass vibrations
that bring me into the NOW
with painless memories
which have
been sealed by the newness of
life's vitality and promise

My emotions that are born again
from lyrics and resurface the
deep seeded insecurities
in unison
with seedlings that sprout of
passion, hope, and free will

I harbor the feelings that
are brought forth from the
magic of
the artistic ones,
as they chant their message
in thought provoking chorus

When life is void of the rhythm
that feeds my imagination
and ignites
the re-creation of feelings that
have taken refuge,
it fragments my soul

The strum of metal strings
create a mystical way
of cutting
all etheric cords that evoke
the shadows of darkness from
my underworld of negativity

The striking of percussions
that facilitate soul revival
and bring out
the dance of sweetness,
through the release
of my toxic sweat and tears

The gentle winds of harmony
take me to a higher dimension
where I bend
like a reed in the breeze
of serenity, that enlightens
my forgiving soul

The healing that takes place
from the soothing ivory keys,
hit a note of balance
within, and bask me
in the glorious warm lights
of love eternal, which leaves me
breathless
