Blessings to you this day of
possibilities!
The
March sky is bright blue, with only
a few clouds here and there. Spring
can be inhaled in the fresh morning
air - I love it - the shift from one
season to another - I always strive
to experience completely the shift
from winter to spring - I find it
truly glorious!
Change of the season is magical...
Change...
The
word change rolls easy enough from
the tongue - change... Some times
change can feel good - even great,
other times the thought of it
engulfs us in fear.
Fred
and I have been talking about
remodeling the kitchen for years...
Of course remodeling requires
change - and change requires
decisions - and in this case
consensus between two people - Fred
and me. How hard can that be?
Yeah, right...
Deep
within I knew that involving the
house in a TLC project (Tender
Loving Care) would be of huge
benefit for all concerned -
including the house. So after weeks
of talking colors and processes, we
finally purchased paint for
the walls and cabinets.
Of
course painting the walls and
cabinets required removing things
and creating a somewhat organized
chaos. This said, the goal was to
complete the painting in one
weekend. The completed effort of
painting the walls and cabinets was
so awesome (I'm thrilled) Fred
decided we should replace the
countertops too. Well... if the
countertops were to be replaced,
then I requested an island off the
end of the counter with bar stools
to replace the kitchen nook. Fred
felt if an island were installed,
then it would be best to include new
cabinets under it to utilize the
space in the best way. But, if
cabinets were under the island, then
the floor vent would be in the
way... Are you seeing more work
here?
We
made a decision - together - and it
wasn't nearly as challenging as
deciding to paint the cabinets and
walls. It was decided to use upper
cabinets under the island to
maintain the space for stools and
proper movement, so Fred had to
build the base for them, hence, the
garage was transformed into a
working shop.
In
the mean time the vent in the floor
had to be moved. When Fred went to
move it, it didn't want to cooperate
- at least that is what it sounded
like... so I asked for angelic
help. Next thing I knew I heard the
sounds of mission accomplished. I
asked Fred if he asked for help, he
said no. I told him I did. He
thanked me and I heard my dad, Big
Jim, say, "You're welcome." So I
reminded Fred to thank the
helper... He did.
It
was about this time that Majik began
to really enjoy himself. He was
playing and kept wanting to go out -
in and out - in and out. Then I
realized he was wanting to go out so
much because "they - Big Jim and
friends" were going through the
dining room door and he couldn't - I
had to open it for Majik's physical
body. I got my camera and took
pictures.
We
had guests - and lots of them!

There
was an angelic party going on in the
garage with Fred! Helpers of
support were all over the place. At
first I wondered about the dust
causing the orbs, but the next
morning I went into the garage and
blew dust around and took pictures -
no orbs. Then I sat with the
pictures and asked what was going
on...
The
energy from the orbs was...
electric! Excitement and joy! There
was great celebration of home
improvement - showing the house our
commitment to living here and truly
embracing it as our sanctuary. Plus
the experience Fred and I were
receiving of producing the project
together. The act of creating
something beautiful that we would
love and enjoy together, was indeed,
cause for celebration! Not to
mention great entertainment for Big
Jim and other deceased family
members. From where they are they
see the ins and outs of all projects
and do what they can to help us to
reach completion. It is in times of
distracted concentration that they
can speak to us and enhance our
creativity.

I
wandered throughout the house taking
pictures and captured many more
orbs. Alvin, Big Jim's skunk, had
joined us - I captured his "zero
orb" in Majik's bed waiting for him
to come back and play!
The
countertop, island and new cabinets
are installed and the organized
chaos has been reorganized back into
the cabinets - there is even running
water from the faucet!
Our
remodel project was a definite form
of "change." Change can be
intimidating, scary and painful as
well as/OR exciting and result in
great joy. One thing that is
constant is that nothing remains the
same - change is always in play in
our lives. Another thing that is a
"truth" is that we can choose
whether change is love based or fear
based - we can choose...
As
with any kind of change, we ran into
hiccups. At one point I remember
making the choice between OMG, what
are we doing? and opening my heart
with love to envision the completed
project. I chose love over the panic
and allowed myself to experience the
process of creation and the gift of
the angelic support team joining
us! The project was actually fun!
If
you are looking at a change in your
life, know that you aren't alone in
your contemplation and you won't be
alone in implementing the change
should you decide to do it. At
every given moment of your life, you
are, indeed a crowd of angelic
supporters in the form of angels,
guides and deceased loved ones! Ask
them for their guidance in making
the decision that is for your
highest good - they can see the
bigger picture of everything and
won't steer you wrong!
In
love and light,
Kate and Big Jim
