Rain, ancestors, birds and banksias… feeling alive

The rain’s been great… just a short visit this time but he’s intending to come back soon… looking forward to it.

The awesome Iridescent Banksia are starting to appear… the magnificently coloured Lorikeets gather to feast on their abundant food.  A lot happens outside the kitchen window here.

It’s a wonderfully cool and overcast morning, with a little soft rain…. sooooooo delicious after those horrid heat wave days… body struggles big time during those high temperature days, causing serious fatigue.  Really enjoying the cool, body has an opportunity to rest and recover from its emergency state.

It’s so important for us to live with Mother Nature… no amount of talking or describing will ever be able to convey what she’s giving us… constantly.  Like another world, behind the veil… an alternate reality that exists, where we can be.  A magnificent world of love and kindness, nurturing and protection.  It’s time for us to ‘come back’ home… to our magnificent Earth.

I’ve been doing some genealogical research… personal curiosity as well as research for my future books.  My ‘Gypsy’ grandfather has always held such mystery and fascination.  I never met him and have only a few brief descriptions of him, from my Mum.  Genealogical research can be a bit of a pain… so laborious, but yesterday I got lucky!  I found a description of him.  And guess where?  In a NSW Police Gazette publication, I found on Ancestory.com… my god!  He was being pursued by police for ‘desertion’.  His wife, my grandmother, served this.  I didn’t know they arrested you for desertion, for shooting thru… but obviously they did.  Imagine the courts today, if they did the same.

Anyway… there was a description of him… yahoo I found gold!  This is what the notice said…

“Charles Devlin – Desertion… 42 yrs old (born approx 1887), 5′.6″, broad build, dark complexion, black hair, dark brown eyes, clean-shaved, little finger of left hand permanently crooked… a carpenter.”

There were notices in 21st Aug 1929, 2nd Oct 1929 and 23rd Oct 1929.   But then I found a census for 1930 and they were both noted as being at the same address in Sydney… did they find him?  But then I know he went again some time after.  I guess you just can’t keep a good Gypsy still for long…

Twas so exciting to find that information… a real step back to the Gypsy line.

So rain, ancestors, birds and Banksia… the cicada’s are humming, the birds are chirping, the air feels refreshed by the beautiful rain… the Earth radiates its love for us all…. I’m so grateful for my precious existence.  Thank You again and again.

Create the Life of your Dreams… the Life you were born to experience… it’s not difficult… in fact it’s easy.

Lotsa luv…. marilynxxx

The 3rd day of the 1st month of 2014

IMG_3643

Such a deliciously cool, out in the pre-dawn world… especially during these very hot days.  We’re elevated here, up in the mountains… the weather is usually not too extreme, but we don’t escape all the heat.  We’re very close to the Border (NSW/Qld), we must be getting some of Qld’s current heat.

I went for a bike ride this morning before Mr Solar started sharing his potent rays, it was the first in a while.  2014 is the year I’ve committed to strengthening my Body… after the last three years of intensive healing.  Lindesay Creek, where I live, is a beautiful valley… nestled snugly beside the Qld Border.  Lindesay Creek Rd is a no-thru road, it finishes at the base of the glorious MacPherson Ranges.  It’s so quite and still as I ride along, other than the cicada’s of course, very few cars drive along this road… just me and the cows and all the other Life buzzing about.

As I left the bitumen and started on the gravel, just around a small bend a little further along… there in all his regal splendour was Mt Lindesay, our local guardian… towering over the valley, keeping us safe and protected.

This is the view of Mt Lindesay from the Qld side of the border… Lindesay Creek is on the other side.  One half of Mt Lindesay sits in Qld, the other in NSW… not sure what Mt Lindesay thinks of that!

Mahalia, the sacred space I’ve been gifted to live within… is just on the other side of this photo.  He’s a wonderful guardian.  So to see him on my morning ride this morning was a special treat.  From the property here he’s often hidden behind the trees… just the top of his crown peeking thru.

A lot has been written about the New Moon on New Year’s Day… pretty potent energy, from an Astrological perspective.  Pluto sitting with the Sun and Moon (and Mercury)… a transformational year for us all, there is no doubt.  Pluto represents power… the power to create and the power to destroy.

All life is focused on the continuation of life… the evolution of life.  Life is only interested in Life.  Anything that no longer supports life is let go, removed, destroyed… transformed into an energy that can support the growth.  Life has no interest in death.

It must be becoming clearer to more and more people… here on Earth, that somethings need changing, and soon.  Led by our desires for so many years now… the promises of wealth, luxury for all, convenience and ‘security’, a life we can ‘own’.  Promises, promises… we’ve heard so many… we’re becoming weary of the same old story.

Cracks appear, black ooze is dripping… appearances changing right before our eyes.  We’ve allowed ourselves to be led by our desires.  So many promises… a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

So we’re all growing up, we’ve been shaken awake… as the Earth rumbles, floods and burns… all that we ‘own’ so vulnerable to change.  What is really ours?

Pluto represents renewal, rebirth… an opportunity to discover our own personal power.

Personally I’m feeling very excited about this year.  I don’t remember feeling the way I do, ever before.  It’s as if a rebirth has occurred.  I feel strong and focused, alive and inspired… to contribute my energy… to the Healing.  This will be a life changing year, I’m sure.  But as always, we need to be present… open, trusting and ready to receive.  Able to let go of any lingering stragglers that have no relevance, here and now… left overs of the old.  I believe it will be easier than ever… to just let go.

So much awaits us… Life is truly magickal.  So much beauty in every moment… so much kindness, giving and nurturing.  We are all very fortunate to be living here on Earth… and I believe we’re now being given the opportunity to move to a completely new level of being.  We need to be present, we need to be accepting… we need to trust… and we need to believe.

Ride the wave of personal power… this is a year not to miss.  So much is being given… open your arms and receive it.  Don’t forget to give thanks… it then just keeps on growing.

 

lotsa luv… marilynxxx

 

 

Feeling the power and excitment…

IMG_3569

Feels like a lot’s brewing.  The New Moon on New Year’s Day heralds a new chapter here on Earth.  And it feels very exciting!  My bones are humming with the approaching vibration, my blood is singing as it travels around my body… my cells are celebrating.  The collective time of Healing is before us.

These last few years have prepared us, hinted at what was coming.  As we struggled with our letting goes, the revelations presenting daily… the crumbling of our illusory dreams, what we thought was real.  We were being lovingly prepared for the big time now.

Yes, the New World has birthed… that was the job of 2012.  In 2013 fine tuning was being applied, to prepare us for the foundation year… of 2014.  And now it’s only days away.  The New Moon on this New Year’s Day bestows incredible power and focus… a Magick Wand of sorts.

Now we all become Magicians… this new-found power, how will we use it.  Hopefully the preparatory stage has been successful… and we stand in a place of conscious awareness; solidly connected to our true values, operating from Heart energy.

This is not a year to wander from place to place, aimlessly… operating from desire or greed.  We are all being called to stand at our post, we have all we need to do the job we were given… a long time ago.

So as you celebrate this coming new year… connect yourself to your own true self.  Stand firm in your knowing, your wisdom and your understanding.  And be ready to offer your service… this is a year of incredible opportunity.  A wondrous time of Healing.

Enjoyment is my focus.  Being in the moment allows me to experience the incredible wonder…. that is this Life, this gift of existence.

Ride the wave of 2014… like you’ve never done before…,

lotsa luv…. marilynxxx

 

I’m feeling the ‘new’

IMG_3563

First morning back after two weeks away… my body vibrating to Mother Nature’s magnificent bounty.  I feel expansion, joy and community… a new world is unfolding… when quiet and still we can feel her emergence… radiating her love for all.

Joyous time away with family and friends… sharing love and real feelings… precious times to savour.  New understandings, clarity and visions… Life is giving in every moment.

Thank you all for your love and sharing… Life is so precious, truly a celebration… our time here on Earth is one of a kind.

Magickal Moments saturate our world… we get to choose how we’ll be involved.

As 2013 moves to a close, we’ve all come a little closer to understanding more… what will we do with our new-found wisdom.  What will we choose to give our precious energy.  How will we be involved with the Healing of our Earth?

Life is a gift, the greatest of all… 2014 is now very close… what kind of year will it be for you?

I can feel the ‘new’, something has changed… I stand in a new place, free from the ‘old’.  It’s my effort to remain with this clarity… this gift of Healing, this blessed vision.

THANK YOU Life… for all you give.

Taking some quiet moments over the next few days… to farewell the old and welcome the new.

We are truly Blessed.

 

lotsa luv…. marilyn xxx
