the New Earth is here... seeing proof in every corner

If you think the world isn’t changing, perhaps we can open your perspective a wee wider.  Don't roll your eyes quite yet, this is not an exercise in gratitude (though it never hurts) this is hard, cold proof of the dawning of a new world.

My office is right next door to a 7-11 – remember those?  Crummy, grumpy stations of every sundry under the sun.  I went in with low expectations, in need of an afternoon refreshment to quench my thirst.    Heck who gets excited over a convenience store?

Imagine my surprise when at the check out, the cashier asked me if I had seen the coupon for my oj.  Why no… and he proceeds to direct me precisely to it.  A lovely and random encounter to be sure.

On my next visit, I inquire about the dark roast coffee… “Shall I brew you some?” comes the reply.  Not necessary and not wanting to cause extra work, I get my regular strength and bring it to the counter.  The gal (calling me hon all the while) hands me the store phone number and encourages me to call in advance next time and they’ll have dark ready for me.

In what bizarrely wonderful pocket of reality have I landed?

In my  further ventures, I have been offered everything from a freshly made pizza to a custom ordered taquito.   “Did you see the taco sauce for that mini taco?  It’s really good, “ the male clerk reminds me. 

It’s easy since Dec 21^st to think that nothing has changed.  No end of the world kaboom, no fall of the financial markets, no e.t.'s descending from above.  But this lil beacon of goodness is my resounding proof that our world is changing.  And baby, we can get used to it.  The New Earth is here!

The culture of this paradise is nothing less than a miracle to me.  Is it the store manager I wonder, or a new corporate hometown feel?  It matters not, cuz I love it! (And by the by…  I’m not the only one… friends have slipped in and out with the same expansive reception.)

 

Add to this -- Every neighbor, this holiday season, brought my family a plate of delectable goodies– the same neighbors we’ve had for 3 years who never before have done such a thing. 

Twice last year when Netflix encountered outages on my Roku, they sent an apology along with a month’s credit.  And, when my hubby called Sprint to air a complaint, they offered us at $75 credit as a thanks for our continued business. 

So look around you and find the unexpected ways you can see this world is getting easier to live in.  I don’t think you’ll find it too hard.  But beloved, you do have to look, and the world will shower you with little gifts of bliss.  Follow those nuggets and you will discover a world changing around you. 

Wishful Thinking or Actual Messages from the Other Side

We’ve all heard the stories of mourning family members receiving messages from the other side.   But how do we know when it’s actual “proof” of the great beyond versus wishful thinking?

In my world, I try to accept everything as true!  The very nature of my work means I must believe.  Truth be told, you are psychic too and the more you believe, listen to, trust and follow the information you receive, the more you will be given.

If you have a questionable encounter… ask yourself if believing that it’s true makes you feel better or worse.  Invariably, better right?  So go with that, lovey and let your heart feel soothed in your time of need.  From songs on the radio at just the right time, to lights flicking on and off,  to uncanny coincidences, these are easy ways Spirit can get through to us. 

  

I’ve had a slew of departed loved ones recently teaching me from the other side.  One gentleman in particular was giving me a lecture on how radios (and music boxes) are easier to manipulate – get through—than an ipod.  Fascinating!  The level of the energy he said is more conducive for him in the radio signal rather than a programmed, mini-computer formatted, ipod.  The frequencies, he said, were more harmonious and carried more of a life energy.  Even Pandora has quite the right energy… you can read all about that story here.    Perhaps radio and Pandora allows for coincidence to enter because we are not in control of what’s on.  

Gavin and I used to get frequent messages from his bff who crossed when they were teenagers.  Tony, in his youth, worked in a Taco Bell.  There was a particular Taco Bell in Chicago that we used to go to be with him.  Every time we were there the music on the radio would literally answer us, confirming the things we were contemplating.  Nirvana in a Taco Bell—you better believe it!

This universe is giving us myriad ways everyday to support us in our growth and expansion.  If we choose to be skeptical, we will receive confirmations, myth busting and empiricist science that disproves the spiritual.   That is the way the universe works, it provides us with what we ask for.

For those of us who choose to believe (I <3 Mulder!) we will likewise find more ways that support us in our optimism.  Believing brings us more, feels better and allows us to actively participate in the magic of creation.  Try it out both ways and let me know which feels better for you!
