I know many have been struggling to make sense and to embrace healing when there are so many disturbing events happening. I hope to share my heart in a way that may inspire you. For the news… Continue reading

Storms of Life
I Love You. I Forgive You.
I have a simple and profound message to share today that originates with Intuitive Samantha Fe, someone I recently friended and who I deeply honor and respect. She posted this on her business facebook page the other day about how she released herself from a funk:
By grounding and sending love to the areas of my life that have me a little troubled from time to time. Self-forgiveness is key. Love yourself and forgive. Big or small, wide or tall. Repeat to yourself, “I love you, I forgive you.” Even if you don’t know what for yet, even if you do. Repeat until you believe it and see how your day changes. This is one of my most powerful secrets. I encourage you to share it with everybody!!! ~ Samantha Fe
All forgiveness is self-forgiveness. Each time we feel betrayed, we in fact betrayed ourselves in some way. And we can Love all that away!
This is a fast-track to finding our way and to releasing the hurt. I encourage us all to think these simple words, directed towards ourselves or others, anytime those hurtful thought cycles creep into our awareness: “I love you. I forgive you.”
And see what happens.
Share below in “comments” if you feel inspired.
You can learn more about Samantha Fe on her business facebook page or on her website.
Road-Kill Consciousness
Many years ago when I lived in Smith Valley, a tiny, rural community in Northern Nevada, reckless road rabbits outnumbered people by a considerable margin. Their lives and deaths became a driving meditation for me, as I used telepathy to avoid collisions with them with phenomenal success. Yet, the evidence of their destruction and demise by cars and drivers were commonplace on our community roads. So how could I BE with that? I noticed four stages of conscious evolution in BEing with that:
- Sometimes I felt so distracted in my monkey-mind that I barely noticed the dead rabbits. I had almost no thoughts or emotions about them.
- Sometimes I felt almost undone by them. I felt so full of sorrow and anger at the futility of their demise.
- Sometimes I acknowledged that there were blessings present too, that some crow, hawk, coyote or lion would appreciate an easy way to fill her belly and perhaps her babies’ bellies too.
- Sometimes I just breathed into the knowing that everything is in divine order, that I need not make meaning of it at all. I felt full of faith and joy, filled with gratitude at the sweetness of my life.
In times like these, it’s easy to find evidence of metaphoric road-kill everywhere we look, especially in the news. My consciousness shifts constantly, in and out of these stages above, as I open myself to levels of knowing and feeling, whatever may BE in my day. In my own conscious evolution, I’m reminded again and again to be present with what is.
I am awareness. I am the breath. I am life. I am love. So are you. Namaste.
Socha Says: Awareness Rx
I have scheduled and unscheduled this post. More than once. In fact, I first channeled and transcribed this post in March 2013. And I buried it. Felt too “out there.” Then I came upon it serendipitously several weeks ago, where it once more activated a sense of riskiness.
You see… the Universe keeps showing me the most amazing things of late. I feel such profound shifts in every facet of life. But how to articulate it? So today I choose to sidestep my monkey mind and share what’s here now for me to share – an old share, indeed, a message from Socha, my spirit guides that I feel is still timely. Maybe more so than ever.
Awareness, especially self-awareness, is an essential component of consciousness. ~ Socha
Socha always honors me in the messages that come through, but I knew back then, in March of 2013, that Socha wanted to go deeper with me, providing content that felt uncomfortable. But I agreed to open, they shared, and then I sort of stuffed it into the background of my busy life. What’s amazing is how much this “out there” content has become much a part of my day-to-day awareness. So below I will share highlights from that channeling session. Then I will share a short video describing The Stargate Experience, which I share in small groups and in private sessions since last summer when I became a trained Level II Facilitator.
Socha Says:
Species from the stars – our Star Families – planted star-seeds within life on your planet. They have been influencing events since the beginning. There are many astral influences, as you know, including solar flares, radiation, spiritual and planetary influences, as well as support from Star Families. In particular, these energies activate dormant DNA in your bodies and energy fields, that in turn activate multi-dimensional traits that were seeded in you long ago. Continue reading
Love in Concentric Circles
The Greatest Lie we ever told ourselves is that we are separate from one another.
This tender truth is one that Laura Plato, our ceremonialist minister for our wedding, used to begin and end our wedding.
Here’s a guiding vision I’ve held for all my creations and life-work of late:
We invite a coming together – beautiful humans, dancing with reverence on our Earth, joined by our beloved angels and spirit guides – in ways where we are All supported in more love, more joy, and more abundance in all manner of blessings. We transcend our “wounds,” whether they show up as shame, judgment, competition, fear, anger, victim- and scarcity-consciousness or other destructive, hurtful forms.
Together we step into our empowerment as healed healers, as loving leaders, and as heroes of the destiny of our making.
We do this by gently loving these “wounded” aspects, as well as all the golden-sun aspects, in ourselves and in All others. We celebrate the magick and mystery of our world, with consciousness and in ceremony. We know that ceremony gives our lives more depth and meaning, while supporting powerful transitions and transformations for us All.
As the veils between seen and unseen “realities” thin and shift, we soar with beloved spirit guides and angels supporting All of us in miraculous ways. We are in awe at the degree of focus we have – as in clarity of sight, integrity of intention, and empowerment of creation and manifestation. Because we All co-channel and freely share the wisdom of the ages, we add to one another’s expansion synergistically.
In family, in community, we open ourselves to the infinite, the sacred, the divine wisdom we have forgotten, but which is our birthright. We re-emerge as who we BE, in loving support of ourselves and one another. We taste sweet Freedom, and we offer it to All who open themselves to our gifts.
It’s not a secret anymore. We are One. Love.
We are blessed and we are blessings upon this Earth.

Shamans of Olden Times; Shamans Now
Shamans of Olden Times; Shamans Now
The shaman archetype in turning-over or troubled times has been coming up for me frequently in my dreams, visions and even in past-life readings for myself and others, especially for spiritual entrepreneurs. Whether it’s truth or not, it often feels that the collective WE needs revelation and healing now. Once upon a time, things were similar in some ways, and we may find hidden codes, meaning and revelation in revisiting these stories. This is how it’s been shown to me in visions. Continue reading
Sacred Geometry. Sky Spirits.
We have learned most everything we know about patience and divine timing from this here tipi. Nine weeks of tipi pole prep, in a nine month project, working around our day jobs and busy lives. This is how she will stay until next weekend. We had a long birthday-tipi weekend, and as we ease into the week, reflecting back, the past few days feel like months. We packed so much in.
In truth, it’s been a long and sometimes overwhelming process, but we are so excited to see the Beauty made manifest and to hold space for ease in the process. The support and energetic participation from our community has meant so much… beyond measure really. You All help us to remember why we conjured this inspiration in the first place.
Our vision: Love in Concentric Circles, created here, emanating out, for the greater good of All.
We love and adore you All. We are so eager to share with you, here at OdaBe, where we will invite co-creative creativity, generativity, spiritual support, and oh-so-much Love. Here are a few photos of our journey, and next time we’ll share the finished product. Aho! Continue reading

A Soaring-Year as Galactic Shaman
Just as once I shimmied onto the skinny branches of love and relating, now I do so in my Cosmic Galactic Shaman Sky Dance. Last August, Tim Glenn offered me a solar return reading (these are a great way to look at emerging themes each year around birthdays). In my reading, Tim said that this would be my year of coming into BEing as Galactic Shaman.
That sounds really cool, but what the heck is a Galactic Shaman?
Tim explained how my shamanic tradition and practices helped me to connect with the Earth in new ways. Now I would be free to open my consciousness to the stars.

Several Deer visited me during morning walk, and this one circled back around to see me one more time. I also had several visits from Hummingbird and one from Fox.
What is a Galactic Shaman?
I found this definition on-line:
A Galactic Shaman is one who experiences Earth, the Solar System and the Galaxy, as All existing within. This is a state of awareness that allows one to feel and live in an expanded (galactic) reality. This reality permeates and interpenetrates this dimension and encompasses the dimensional realms where matter exists in a state of (sub-atomic) potential. The Galactic Shaman is an archetype for ‘Consciousness’ made manifest, or ‘Consciousness’ transforming from “form” back to energy. Their purpose is to provide an alchemical anchor…assisting and enabling humanity and the Universe in the evolutionary process of constant transformation of Soul Consciousness in the physical/non-physical realms.
Is it just me, or does this imply some mighty big boots? In a metaphor that Tim Glenn uses often, I felt like the new little strawberry, green and trembling on the vine, wondering how on earth I would ever figure out how to turn red. But that little strawberry doesn’t need to know. It just happens. It’s evolutionary!
So I trusted. I opened up to guidance. And I lucked out. Continue reading
