I like a sunny day. If you’ve read my blog for any amount of time, you’ll know that I really like sunny, warm weather. I don’t know what my spirit was thinking when I chose to be born in such a cold climate. Oh well, there must be lessons of love it in somewhere (plus, I always can move someplace warm when I “retire” one day).

I was thinking of how spring is always around the corner. For me, spring represents new beginnings. Both quantum physicists and spiritual teachers talk about how change is all there is in the Universe. Change is the only constant. Everything changes. I’ve talked about this previously in my post about the butterflies.

On this winter day, I look outside my window and see that we are getting closer to spring, even in January. Also, collectively, it feels like we’re getting ready for some new, fresh energies for 2009. In with the new, out with the old! To the old energies, I lovingly say, “NEXT!” (I’ve watched way too many “Seinfeld” reruns in the past).

I’m excited for January 20th. It’s Inauguration Day. We’re getting a new President! I’m so stoked and I’m not afraid to admit that I’m happy with who was elected. I’m not afraid to mix spirituality and politics at all. I see the Divine in everything. Doesn’t it feel like something new and good is coming? I feel it in my bones. There are going to be great changes for everyone.

As I type this, I think about how Nature just goes with the flow. The animals and plants never wonder if their needs will be met, even in the cold winter months. They are a part of the Universe–but, so are we. So, why would it be any different? Wouldn’t we also be taken care of too? Of course!

On my birthday last week, I pondered abundance. You see, I have been clearing away some major blocks to receiving abundance as of late. I thought something sort of interesting on my birthday: I wouldn’t have been born unless I was meant to be taken care of and to experience love, abundance, and joy! And, then, I thought about how everyone is meant to experience love, abundance, and joy. It’s just a matter of allowing it and choosing it.

I highly enjoy working with Mother Nature. I’m not ashamed to admit that I like the fairies. I work with Doreen Virtue’s fairy oracle cards. One of my favorite decks of hers is Magical Messages From the Fairies. Today, I decided to draw a card from this deck for my blog post today. I drew the card “Dietary Change.” This is interesting. I know that I was just writing about changes here. And, I know that this time of year many are working on improving their diets. But, the artwork is what compels me. I see a young gal sitting with an older woman and they are sharing tea. Whenever I draw this card, I think of my grandma and me drinking tea when she was alive It’s amazing how many different possible messages there are when it comes to working with your intuition. I love it.

But, back to the dietary change message. Maybe it’s time to clean up the junk from our diets. No diet fits all. I think we intuitively know the best way to eat for us. With spring and summer coming, it’s exciting for me at least to think of all the good veggies and fruits that will be available. Until then, I’m honoring my body’s wisdom by eating curried veggies and rice for dinner to warm me. Or, sometimes, I’ll need to have a cup of hot tea with spices. It’s all about honoring the body’s wisdom–just my 2 cents!

Looking forward most to spring when I can ride my bike outside with the breeze in my hair. Looking forward to soaking up the sun while the squirrels come up to me on my deck to be fed. I’m looking forward to all the exciting things that the Universe has in store for me. I think, I mean, I know it will be quite the fun ride–heck yes! I’m ready for the new and so, I think I’ll start my spring early!

Blessings of love,
Lisa

P.S. I’m thinking of starting a prayer request page on this blog. I’ve enabled comments again since I’ve learned how to lovingly speak my truth Amen! Whohooo! Just felt like celebrating…
