Humming, lost in waves,
mind and soul fly above me.
Ocean is my home.
Seagulls wink at me
Crabs pretend to hide from me.
I know I am home.
My heart opens fast
when coming to the ocean.
Waves remember me.
Aaahh, they're in my blood,
and call me home once again,
my loves, sea and sand.

From last week, catch up.......
February 10, 2011 - Ouside with Angel…..
Lazy or relaxed,
Surrendered or given up?
On the fence and uncertain.
I’m jut taking my time.Am loving the lack of “must do.”
Sleeping a little later, laughing a lot more,
forgetting my “should” list a time or two.
Listening to wind in the trees, and to birds,
spending time looking up in the sky.
Thinking of people I love,
or don’t know,
sending them love on the fly.
On Angels’ wings, I find,
are tremendous grace, gifts, prayers answered,
and love.
My eyes spend more time now in rest,
being closed, looking up to the Powers above.
So I guess I’m okay,
because it feels like I am,
though my brain’s still saying
I may not be.
Guess I’ll take this as part of my lesson to listen to my soul -
my gut, my intuition
say that since only good’s been coming my way. I might as well enjoy the now,
keep creating more of the same.

Believe it to see it!!!
Something that I do weekly, for my soul, mind, and heart, is listen to the free conference call from The One Command. Each week, there is a different topic, speaker, and series of commands, and each week, I find yet another way to bring my desired reality closer and closer to manifestation.. Some weeks, it comes roaring through the crowd in just a minute! Great stuff!
So on the February 2 call, Kathryn Perry (a favorite!) talked about having some sort of symbol to look for, as an indicator that you're on the right path, so to speak. She uses the numbers 1234, and sees them quite often, which lets her know that she's in the right place at the right time, and that things are in perfect order. She then took us listeners through a bit of a meditation, in which she had us visualize a symbol of our own, something that may represent what we are striving for, something that has meaning to us. Right away, I saw this big old dollar sign with lots of bling on it, which was kind of corny, but I went with it. As the meditation went on, what came through clearly as a sign of what I really want was a heart. I want love to be who I am, what I attract, how I feel, all the time. So I decided on a heart. It felt, and feels, right. So we finished the meditation, some commands, the call, and I was on about my day, trusting that I'd see some hearts, and wondering how the sparkly dollar signs would show up. Within an hour of gettting off the phone, I went outside, and on the back patio was melting snow in a heart shape, IN a heart shape!! It made me laugh and cry simultaneously. Rockin'! The hearts continued all through the week - actually saw a heart cloud, didn't have my camera, darn, and a swirl of little weeds that surrounded a heart-shaped leaf. VERY cool!! They are everywhere in nature; it's just that I was more aware of them, seeing them where I may not have before. (There was even a piece of bread in the sink shaped like a heart!) 
Which is what it's all about - just think of it, it comes into being.
A couple days later, I decided to go through a few things that I'd brought with me, and see if there was anything I could use here, or pass on, continuing to lighten my load. Surprisingly, I found a bunch of stuff that I was not as attached to as when I left Tucson. So I have half as much now as I did a few months ago.Yea! One little beautiful soapstone box was among the goodies, and when I opened it, I just sat and cried. It about took my breath away. It was a handful of gold glitter dollar signs!! What a riot. Timing is everything, right?
I continue to ask for new symbols, and am seeing them often, too. Latest? same number double digits (11:44 on the clock, $22 sale price, 333 days remaining, etc.), and convertible cars. Saw two yesterday, hadn't noticed any before in months! It's just fun to see how much comes to fruition, AND I like that it signifies that I am, indeed, getting what I want and need, and am where I need to be.
Give it a try! And if you want to listen to that particular call, others from weeks prior, or find out more info on listening to live calls, the address is theonecommand.blogspot.com - Enjoy! and here's to briging to life your visions! love, Maria

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr..eautiful!
It snowed here! Started Monday afternoon, and by Tuesday afternoon, everything was like a winter wonderland!! The streets were all quiet, the sky all white, and the air all cold!!! I was the only one outside either on foot or by car, and the peace felt delightful. The second day, winds came, taking the snow and bringing the super cold. Now it's about 10 degrees and sunny. Snow's in drifts or ice. Quite a winter surprise! I hope you're warm wherever you are, and / or enjoying the winter as it expresses itself in your city!

Poetry vs. prose
January 20 or so, 2011
I’ve come to find myself
roaming and accessing
what’s most needed in the moment.
If all the winter weather were warmer,
we wouldn’t want it,
would we?
Most of our ideas are conceived in sleep-
Dreams install them in our wishes’ basement.
I’m crying now, yet again -
and sensing I’m the last to know why.
Showers, book reports, notes on a crime.
What savory bits are tugging
at my tear ducts?
Hapless, hopeless, hurting and hostile -
I’m going to go a different direction.
Home again, I’m lost.
Leaving here once more, I tend toward
being found.
January 28 Ah, peace!!!
January 28, 2011
There is so much that I have thought about to write about; I have written tons of stories and updates in my mind, but when I’m at the computer or with a notebook, it doesn’t come as easily. So I’m here now, and going to put down pieces of what has touched me in the last couple of weeks. It has been a tremendous several days!!!!!!
The few days after I got home from California were days of just wanting to sleep and be alone. I was pooped from all the holiday activity, expectation, emotion, and cold, and from the ensuing days of driving to, and visiting in, California. It seemed that a lot of healing on several layers was taking place, and I had spent a lot of time resisting it, running from it, and eventually, finally, bumping headlong into it!!!! You can run, but you cannot hide!! Yep, that.
So I slept as much as I could get away with, ate better than I had been eating, and decided to go to a class I’d seen advertised in a local spiritual magazine. The woman who leads it is a channel and a medium - someone who communicates with and hears from beings on “the other side” - and in the Monday evening class / gathering, channels and shares information and guidance that she hears from those that guide her. You gotta know, I was skeptical and unsure, and still willing to sit in for the hour, see what it was about. Within 5 minutes of her speaking and my being there, I felt very at home, comfortable, and moved by her sincerity, sweetness, and sense of humor. The hour went quickly, and I left feeling lighter and really happy.
Each week, I have returned, and each week, come home with some piece of information or insight that helps me each day throughout the week. The most recent was the 5 minute exercise of thinking of what I love, each morning, preferably, as that is when our energies are most open and fresh. I light a candle, say hello to my angels, pets, friends, whoever might be with me, and then I start thinking of and feeling what makes me happy. Man! The list gets longer and longer, and the 5 minutes turns into about an hour a day, all throughout the day. It is such a fun exercise! I find myself calling to mind the craziest things that I love, that I had never really put words to! Like how good it feels to burp, or to see someone laugh, or watch the sun come up over a mountain and through a bare tree. Or the smell of pizza, the feel of my cat’s fur, the wind on my skin on a warm day. SO much! Great exercise!!
Another “pearl“ from a few weeks ago, and about the time, incidentally, that all of my life as I have known it, started to change, for the better, was a message that she channeled from my Star Guide (it may sound strange, but I’ll tell you, it was some magical information that the gave!). The message that I really heard, along with some other beautiful, powerful, and affirming sentiments, was, “Ask us to show you your TRUE heart’s desires.” Wow. I’d never thought of that. So immediately, I did just that. And within a day, I think, I found a new prayer. What I had been asking for - a new, beautiful, peaceful place to live, now changed to something else. I heard the question (yes, I hear voices!! J ), “What do you want?” Without qualifications or deliberations over the right and perfect words and phrases, I simply stated, “I want to be happy where I am living now.” WOW!!!! It freaked me out how fast it came, and mostly, how my body PHYSICALLY responded. It’s like my body sighed, loosened, felt the peace immediately. It was so cool! And since then, life where I am has gotten better and better.
I decided to completely commit to being available to my dad, to take care of his needs and health as best I could, to be compassionate and caring, and to just make the most of the really good situation that I was in now. I have since started going to the gym more, walking and meditating every day, and taking classes that nourish my mind and my soul. And I still do all the laundry, cleaning, shopping, cooking, errands, driving, etc. etc., which is all stuff I love doing, being a Virgo and all, so it’s been a win-win situation. Ironically, the more time I spend with dad - more quality time now! - the more I seem to have for myself. Having finally gotten internet connection at the house has helped tremendously, too, in feeling more organized and in touch with the rest of the world.
So………..that’s it for now. Thanks for listening! J Happy February, and may all your dreams come true!!! Love, Maria
