Right now, life is coming at me like huge asteroids hurling themselves towards this wee speck of a human. I feel like Wily Coyote in a Road Runner cartoon. I know I will pop up, but I may be singed and a little dazed. The good news is that I can laugh about it today. Check with me tomorrow, I may have a different response.

Why am I telling you my experience of life? Because I have been out of communication for awhile and I am getting emails from some of you wondering if I drowned in the Atlantic Ocean. No, she (Mother Water) is still as loving and healing as always. I am stronger and clearer for being here. No need to send out the search team, yet.

The other reason that I am sharing this with you is to remind you that we are all in this life thing together. Many of you have called with your own version of the Wily Coyote story, so many in fact that I am seeing a pattern. I think it is important to let you know that you are not alone in the deep and profound changes that you are going through. It is also important for you to know that there is a wonderful healing in all of this bringing us to a higher consciousness that includes more fun, greater health and an easier life.

This is no blarney though it is the blarney month of March. You have been gracious enough to share you stories of walking through fire in your rights of passage. I am witnessing the changes in your lives. One might say, “It is about time!” – and it is.

If you are still in the middle of this, please continue to walk the walk. Use the tools that you have to support yourself; meditation, time with Spirit, all healing modalities, conversations with friends, walks in nature and laughter every day. You are not crazy; though as this compost-of-the-soul is coming up and out, it can make you feel crazy, frightened, over-whelmed or deeply sad. Don’t ignore your emotions. Be aware of them, acknowledge them and then bless them and turn them over to Spirit.

If you pretend you are not feeling your emotions, they will either come back until you do acknowledge your truth (and they will come back stronger on the return visit) or go so deeply that cause physical damage to your body. This is not a time for putting fingers in the ears and singing “la la la.” This is time for honesty and love of self, knowing you are walking the path of healing the old issues. For some this will be the last dance with these heavy emotions. For others, these are times of huge conscious leaps forward.

It is also time to actually take better care of your self physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually, just like you have been promising yourself. Tomorrow is here! That 10 minute walk and extra glass of water will go a long way in creating a healthier you. Leave your cell phone at home the next time you walk the dog or go to the grocery. You might be surprised at what you discover and the joy you experience (and your dog will love you for it).

One of the biggest issues coming up is loneliness. Remember that loneliness is the absence of love. The disconnect isn’t with another person, it is with Self and Spirit. I asked someone the other day if he was stopping to breathe in love when he felt over-whelmed or tired. He started laughing because it was so far out of his realm of consciousness. I asked him to try it for a day, announcing in his mind that he was now breathing in love. He called me a couple of days later and shared how much his life had changed. Work was easier. He wasn’t as tired or grumpy. He was eating better and wanted to go out in the evening. Ah, the simple things – aren’t they just the best!

There may be a lot of us looking a little like Wily; crispy hair and smokin’ ears. We can share a wink, breathe in the love and feel a little more connected.

Beep. Beep….
