New Life in Our Backyard – Video

Posted by Barbara Techel

As I write this blog post there is an Oriole and Robin splashing in the bird bath. First time I’ve ever witnessed that!

Today around 8:15am I was listening to one of my mentors do an oracle reading. The card she pulled was about evolution and new life. It had the image of a sweet baby on the card.

Within moments after she pulled the card and was talking about it, I looked up to see a mama deer and her fawn come into our yard. More new life. I don’t remember in the 32-years that we’ve lived here seeing a fawn. It was such a treat!

I thought about how the oracle reading of new life and seeing the fawn connects with my life right now. 

It’s been a little over one month since my doxie, Gidget passed away. Some moments have been sad as I miss her sweet and loving presence and cuddling with her. But as the days flow by, I’m finding my way. And one thing that has been so beautiful is that my love is deepening even more for her. And I know she feels that. I feel it. And that feels incredibly good.

I’ve been practicing staying in the moment and trying to not let my mind race ahead of me wondering what is next, but just being open to allowing life to flow to me, instead of forcing it. 

My life is already anew in many ways just with how I move about my days now. It’s bittersweet at times, but I’m reminding myself to appreciate the gift of this time for myself now.

Moving through loss is a form of evolution as I reflect on what Gidget brought to my life and what I’ve deepened into with her teaching since she has moved on. This in itself has brought new life to me.

John and I are also going to go look at something tomorrow morning….though I can’t say right now what that is. But in case you are thinking it’s a dog, no, that’s not what it is. 

But it’s something that may bring another aspect of new life for us if it all works out. If not now, I believe it will manifest soon and I’ll be sure to share with you. I have to share it with you now that I’ve teased you, right?  😉

At any rate, I wanted to share this adorable fawn and her dear (deer!) mama with you. Life is always evolving and there are so many gifts in that.

P.S. Tomorrow I’ll be sharing the interview with my friend and new author, Lori Helke and photos of her adorable renovated vintage camper named Beatrice. Stay tuned!

The Fairies Came to Dance (video) Plus Oracle and Animal Guidance For the Week

Posted by Barbara Techel

What is it that we need to see a higher perspective of in order to break free?

This is the question that came to mind as I pulled these two cards for our guidance for the week.

The giraffe tall and one who walks with such ease and grace invites us to know that there is no hurry to fully understand a challenge or situation we may find ourselves in that we don’t yet know the answer to.

In order to gain insight and clarity, we are being asked to allow grace to lead the way, open our eyes and our heart to a larger and more vast perspective – simmer and rest in different views – and apply this contemplative spaciousness to an area we perhaps feel stuck in.

It’s in the allowing of our minds to clear of mental clutter, appreciating and soaking in the unknown, and allowing what needs to enter as a whisper from our inner knowing, that a breakthrough is able to flow naturally and help us see things from a different and more enlightened perspective.

It takes courage to follow your truth after you’ve discerned all the vast opinions and thoughts from others. But it’s with the grace and ease of Giraffe that you hold your head high and move forward with what matters most to your soul in order to evolve.

Cards from: Soul Coaching Oracle Cards by Denise Linn and Wild Messengers by Lola Pickett

As I was moving through my yoga practice this morning I was struck by the sun dancing through the birch tree leaves as I saw it through my window.

We are able to see energy though I’ve not yet been able to, but do know of someone who has experienced this. I couldn’t help but to at first think this is what I was seeing until I realized it was the sun filtering through the birch leaves and seeing it through my window made it appear in a light I’d not witnessed before. And then I just couldn’t’ help think it was the fairies that were here this morning doing a special and magical dance just for me to see.

I grabbed my phone and was able to capture the dancing of light or faeries if you choose to call it this too – and was surprised at how well it came through. Just look at the trunk of the tree and right in front of it you should see the sparkle of dancing light. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did!

Wishing you a beautiful week filled with lots of light…and a few fairies to guide you too.  🙂
