I was nudged several times by Spirit to share this message from an unlikely and surprising character.
I just kept feeling more and more called that this message wasn’t just for me, but that other’s may benefit too!
A message of support and love I hope you will find helpful.
Now available on my YouTube channel!
I’d love to hear any feedback or reflections!

During two guided meditations in the past few weeks, I’ve experienced E.T. presenting itself – yes, that E.T. – from the wonderful movie released in 1984. This took me by delightful surprise! Though if I were to share this with some people they may think I’ve lost my marbles. But the encounter touched me and so I felt called to share despite feeling a bit vulnerable.
The first time I saw E.T. during a recent meditation was just like in the movie when E.T. with its spindly finger points to the Cosmos and says that famous line, “E.T. phone home.” I was nineteen years old when that movie came out and I still recall how palpable that moment felt.
In my mind I said, “Okay, of course, ‘phone home’ but what do you mean? Is there something more you wish for me to understand?”
“Dial in to your heart,” E.T. said.
I understood this as truly and deeply dialing inward – that this is the way – the only way – to more love and peace in this troubled world.
Then yesterday during another guided meditation calling in my Spirit Ally Team, E.T. was there again. We were deep in the forest and surrounded by a plethora of animals. I felt very much at home. I reflected on how at times it is painful to live in this world much like E.T. must have felt having coming to Earth and so far from its true home.
This time, E.T. slowly bent forward toward me and placed his loving alien hand on my heart and it instantly lit bright red surrounded by a white glow. I sensed this as reiterating its recent message of dialing in to my heart. As my heart pulsed this bright red I noticed all around me the heart of each animal was also beaming bright red.
Leaned up against the trunk of a large tree, E.T. sitting beside me, another scene from the film played out in my mind. The one where E.T. is sitting among all the stuffed animals as a way to disguise itself and from being found out by the mother in the movie.
This is how I’ve felt for as long as I can remember – how I feel at home among the animals – how safe they’ve always made me feel – how I can be just who I am with them.
Just before the meditation came to a close darkness began to fall upon the forest. I watched as a red squirrel climbed the tree trunk, out onto a branch, and hung upside while holding a lantern in its tiny paws to help light the way. It was such a comforting meditation and assured me that when love leads the way the world fills with light and all will be okay.

I was recently inspired by an image I saw that sparked the idea to add a mirror behind this snail animal oracle art piece I just completed.
Made even better is the fact that someone who saw me working on it said that Snail immediately spoke to her and she knew she wanted to have it to take with her and her impending move to another state. She shared she is going to put it in her art studio as a reminder to take it slow and enjoy this new chapter of life she is embarking on in her late 60s.
To have a destination for Snail and know it was already touching the heart of someone, well, that made the process of creating her even more special.
Snail also feels fitting for me and why I felt called to create her in the first place. The older I get, the more I don’t want to rush and simply want to savor what is being reflected around me. This time of year especially, there is so much beauty in nature that fills my soul with such joy.
As I took my walk this morning, which I can sometimes go at a brisk pace, but because it is hot and humid today, I reminded myself to be like Snail and not overdo it.
This allowed me time to feel more into my senses and I took note of how good the breeze felt against my skin. I also stopped at a local pond and simply enjoyed watching the geese families floating on the water, imagining the water as if it was cooling me off too.
And Snail, not able to see well, but must feel their way to where they are going, well, such a poignant message. And somehow they find their way – and that is truly remarkable and inspiring – as I remind myself that those times I may not know where I am going – that by allowing myself to feel it all – this is the true and rich experience of life.
