Today, I ask that I may be a conduit for peace. As I read the news filled with stories of strife and conflict, may I pray for the peace of others. In my business and in my personal life, I ask that I may act from love, not fear and help to be a guiding light to others. For I know that with every heart that focuses on love, we bring peace to all that much closer to reality.
Namaste… Pamela

Seasons mark the time with a change of weather and colors here in New England. They are a reminder that everything changes and nothing is permanent.
Today, I re-mind myself to embrace change and let it flow into my life with acceptance because change brings new opportunities. Nothing is gained by blocking new opportunities. Change is the ebb and flow of life that brings us learning experiences and life lessons. I am grateful for the changes in my life that come like seasons, bringing color into my life. Today, I celebrate each change that comes my way and I thank the Universe for the new opportunities in my life.

Each day there are new opportunities that arise in our lives. Some opportunities are easy to determine to be beneficial in our lives, other opportunities require that we sit and think about the possibilities.
Today, I re-mind myself that some choices in life require thought and reflection and it is ok to take time to think about my choices. Sometimes rather than flying off into the unknown, it is best to perch and survey the options, making certain that we find what we are looking for.

Sometimes when we have things weighing heavy on our heart and mind it is difficult to pull ourselves out of the worrisome state of mind and trust the Universe that everything will be all right.
Today, I re-mind myself to replace my worrisome thoughts with positive thoughts and turn over my concerns to the Universe. I recognize that the more I worry and concern myself with things that weigh heavy on my heart and mind, the more power I give to these things. In releasing these worrisome thoughts and replacing them with positive thoughts, I open the door to changing things with the power of the positive.
Namaste… Pamela

There is an absolute in nature that parallels our lives. We see the cycle of life played out vividly on the landscape as it changes with seasons and weather. It is vulnerable and so are we…
It is colorful and so are we. It is with great reverence that I greet the sacred places of nature, for I know they hold the key to the answers that I seek.

Uncertainty had plagued me for a while on a few different levels and yesterday was the day to cast that aside. I had made a rash decision based on financial concern, and the decision made the situation worse on a few levels. It was time to put the stress the situation caused behind me.
I drove to the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge knowing that off in the distance there was a storm moving in. I wasn’t sure when I entered the Refuge if I would drive to Sandy Point, at the southern tip of the Refuge, or turn back and head home when I reached Hellcat Swamp, where the road turns to dirt. I drove on…
As the clouds moved closer and the sky darkened, cars were leaving the beach and the Refuge in attempt to beat the storm. I knew instinctively, watching the skies as I drove, that the storm would for the most part, pass north of Sandy Point.
I walked the beach keeping my eyes on the dark clouds, as they moved west to east. I felt a certain sense of safety there, heedless of the swiftly moving storm. I had come there for a reason, to let the storms that had been brewing my heart and mind pass through me with the storm moving across the sky.
Sitting on the beach I felt relieved of the negative energy that had prevailed over my usual positive mindset for a while. The dark skies were moving quickly and far off in the distance to the west, I could see the clear skies following. Sit out the storm, I told myself. It will pass.
I could hear the thunder booming and crashing, and see the occasional flash off lightening light up the dark skies to the north of where I sat on the beach. I felt alive and giddy with energy generated by the storm.
Life brings storms to our door. Some we create on our own, some are nature’s doing. No matter where those storms originate that always pass. In those times of storms in our life, sometimes we must face them head on in order to release them.
As I sat on the beach, I knew I was there to face the brewing storm head on. The release I experienced as I watched the storm roll in was tantamount to giving all things troubling in my heart and soul over to the universe. Trust and let go.
As the wind picked up and the rain began to fall softly at first, I felt cleansed and renewed in the tears of the Great Mother Goddess. My grief moved through me and shifted to happiness and joy.
Sometimes you just need to sit and let the storms in life pass by…
