THE HEALING OF SARAH

One way to show your appreciation for my sharing with you is to make a financial contribution. This is greatly appreciated as Annie remains focused on attracting The Jewel Council who will be the creators of The Jewel: a profitable, self-sustaining,educational and crafting community in southern Spain. Go to www.awakeningadventures.biz/lovecontributions.html

I was asked recently, "how did you end up in Germany if you want to be in Spain, working on your project? I asked myself that, too. And many insights have come clear for me.

I want to share the mystery of Sarah and its beautiful revealing. Sarah is a part of many of us. Do you know the story of Sarah, Abrahams wife?

I read the book last Spring.
My mother read the book in her book club,
and she told me countless times to go read the book.
She didn't consciously know why I should read it,
and when I tell her what I've discovered, it will make sense to her.

So, here's a secret to discovering what's the unsettling inside of you..
Or, why aren't things happening the way you intended..

Here's the place I look...
(Some background:I've been intending to attract The Jewel Council.
and I was getting impatient and anxious. And I began to experience severe aloneness, isolation.)
So I looked at the people in my life and what they are experiencing for themselves.
I attracted them into my life and they attracted me.
When I looked at all the people currently in conversation with me,
many of them had a common theme amoungst them
and so, looking at that,
I could then see that it was in me, too.

So here's what I saw..
and this is nothing bad..it's human

one woman, just lost her husband recently,
and almost always had the experience of being completely alone,
with no friends, isolated by being the constant caretaker of her husband
doing everything by herself, no help

a person in my family,
overworking herself,
attracting work that was overdemanding of her
struggling to make it work
working alone

a person I recently met,
working very hard
chasing the money,
thinking no one can do the work she is doing
so she's doing it all alone

a man,
who has left everything in his past life
and wonders what community he really belongs to,
and is alone

and another man, in the same situation.

So then there's Annie..
that's me...
and here is what I saw..
throughout my life, until now,
I have believed that I was alone
years ago, I had a nightmare,
where I was in a black void,
with no anchors at all, no sense of orientation,
no help,,,
and deep inside,,I could see that
I believed there was no help.
I would find myself being, feeling alone.
Yes, I am also a person who loves and enjoys people
and I'm very good with people,
AND I had this deep belief, that I'm all alone.
And once in a while it would get triggered.
and it could be a terrifying experience.

So then I saw,
well if I'm alone and without help,
I've got the door shut.
nobody and nothing can come in.
and sure enough,
after six weeks, my internet card had still not arrived!
and my cell phone still didn't work.
and I wondered who am I closing off from reaching me,
while believing that I'm alone and without help?

So I cut out pictures in magazines,
to help me see all the beliefs around 'being alone'.
I could see the whole thing.
Then I wrote out all of the old beliefs
and took it to the forest.
and there I ripped up the paper,
and tossed it in the air,
saying,"divine masters, take this burden from me!"

I went to lay in the sunny meadow.
I was exhausted,
from processing and releasing.

Then I felt ready to create a new BEEING.
When I get to this stage, I used to get stuck in my head,
and not come up with something inspiring.
so I pay attention to signs around me..
and I did a drawing..
I drew the Strait near the African coast,
and then I added the dolphins,
and then I remembered what my mentor told me...
listen to the dolphins,
but be careful, they're a little dangerous
and I said, " oh you mean they get a little enthusiastic and might knock me over!"
(and the dolphins and I were THAT enthusiastic the last time we saw each other)

and then in the meadow a family of rescued dogs came to greet me. The biggest one,
saw the others getting attention and jumped up to nip me in my neck,
and almost knocked me over..

I got what my new BEEING was..
BEEING KNOCKED OVER BY LOVE!

That night in my campervan, as I was going off to sleep, I went into this mental turmoil,truly intense...worry about how I was going to survive... and it was my first chance to BEE knocked over by love,,,
what I saw was,,,I am standing in the center of people, holding a blazing torch, high above everyone's heads and light is filling all of us.

So what about Sarah? Sarah went through many years with the tribe of Abraham, in resentment and anger, because early in her life she was deeply hurt. She couldn't bear children by Abraham. It was her choice. She destroyed her ability to bear children. It was her way to cut herself off from her royal family and be with the tribe of Abraham.

She held resentment and hurt for years and years, and finally cloistered herself off from the rest of the tribe and lived in complete isolation.

Until her anger was about to overcome her, and in her old age, she surrendered all of her anger and her disbelief in the divine, and then the miracle of birth occurred for Sarah. She bore Abrahams child.

I bore The Jewel Project that day in the forest. I opened myself up to help, team, being knocked over by love. Love comes in all its infinite forms. I am open now to team in my life..and so much more!!

Two days later, I received an email from a husband and wife in England who had seen The Jewel Project listed in the directory for intentional communities. They are experienced intentional community participants and are drawn to The Jewel Project.

THE DOOR IS OPEN!

I feel like a tumbleweed,
that's being blown gently,
through one little dust storm,
after another,
in a gentle embrace.

I made another unconcealing and shifting yesterday, but I wont write that now...
Last night in the van, my ears heard every little thing outside, and the dropping of leaves and seeds from the branches above..my mind wanted to race off into worry..how am I to survive? I felt like I was shrivelling..It all was a play of the mind..and there was a lot of momentum in it..like a horse driven cart about to take the master off the road, then out of my imagination bag, came the vision to focus on..

I saw myself holding a staff with a flame alit at the top. It was a towering staff. And all my family and friends were gathered and basking in this glow. And with this,,,I drifted to sleep.

Today I did a new reality collage, after coming through some amazing stuff yesterday that I released. And this collage was so beautiful...there's a male partner in it, and he has a young child, a girl...he rides horses and so do I. We meet when we are embarking to go out into the Strait to see the dolphins...He is my perfect business/love partner..and another picture I clipped out shows us like two horses nuzzling each other.

I couldn't be at the computer, and outside in the park, was all the laughter and play from the many neighborhood children..I went out there with ping pong paddles and ball to join them. My little Luis, a two year old, and his sister, Lila, run to greet me. Their mother greets me with a big smile. Another little 1 1/2 yr. old Croatian boy joins us with his huge, huge eyes...HUGE EYES!
We begin this play of running the ping pong ball back and forth across the table. This goes on for more than an hour,laughter and pure delight.
It's 8:00pm their bedtime, so I disappear the balls, as their parents whisk them away to their beds...

I go off on the bicycle into the forest and as I ride home, I feel a sadness descending. I'm puzzled, and then when I reach Gina'a and get onto Skype, to talk to Dad, I find out that Mom is experiencing more complications.

She hurt her hip a few weeks ago. It was painful for her. Then a week ago she had double bypass surgery. She was starting to recover and then they took her back to critical care, to help her drain the liquid from her lungs. Dad was just leaving the hospital when I called.

I then understood some things...my sadness. I realized I was in grief for Mom's suffering, and that I wasn't there to soothe her.

I let tears flow.
I had picked up a book, just wanting something to read, and this book I found
soothing.. it's called Medicine Woman by Susan Freilicker

one page says this....

reflections of her heart

The good red road of life leads from mother to daughter and to her daughter in turn...and to all the generatins of daughters. It is the way of grandmother and maiden. of mother and child, of woman in all her many phases. It is the path that leads to the Reflections of Her Heart.

I remembered how many times mother mentioned the book, "Sarah" to me, and then I had so many signs to find out about Sarah, that the book fell into my hands. Sarah, the wife of Abraham. Sarah, who gave up the ability to have children by Abraham and regretted it, and lost faith in the divine, resented the other mothers, became hurt and cut herself off from the rest of the wandering tribe. At the age of 50 or so, she finally surrendered all of her anger and resentment, and opened herself up to divine love, and bore a child.

And "Sarah" is what I finished healing yesterday. My mother, who didn't know on the surface, but within her was the knowing...and she passed her inner knowing, unknowingly to me, in the most amazing ways.

I go to sleep tonight in gratitude for mother and invite the angelic realm to embrace her, my father, my family, and me, and the planet in healing light.

THE LIGHTHOUSE THAT SENDS OUT HER LIGHT

So you may have noticed that my last blog was somewhat sad and low key. That piece, I wrote last night, here in Munich..After writing that segment, I was feeling so much upwelling of emotion, and feeling like I had hit a wall. I wanted to get to the source of it. But what it felt like was...I was trapped.

Earlier in the day, I had a walk with a wonderful man I met in the park, in my favorite meadow. As I spoke to him, I realized that as nice as it was to meet with him and get acquainted that there was the feeling of spinning my wheels here in Munich.

But I still thought..I'm supposed to be here in Munich. I'm supposed to meet people HERE. I'm supposed to help open up the Strategic Attraction Work here in Germany. I'm supposed to learn German. But something doesn't feel right. Someone invited me to a gathering of English speaking parents in the nearby community, and when I thought of driving there, I said, "No". No more winding streets and getting lost and narrow passages and tight parking spaces. So then, it's better to turn that into...WHAT DO I WANT? WHAT WOULD BE THE WAY I WANT IT TO GO?

So, I felt excited about sharing The Jewel Project with people and the Strategic Attraction Planning, AND something didn't feel right..and I was beginning to feel lost.

In fact, I felt totally alone! And there was not the usual escape route..call someone on Skype..so I raised my hand in the air to ask the angels for some guidance..
then I went to the laptop, and started typing an email to my mentor..and just spilling out all of my confusion.

And she picked up on the main theme...
"Annie what I'm getting is that you should be in Spain! That's where your project is! That's where Principe is! That's what you came to Europe for!
Why aren't you there? How did you end up in Germany?

what happened to your internal guidance? Where did you get off the path...Your navigational system is beeping and saying, "please get back on the highlighted path"

Oh, boy was I relieved! I was feeling such a longing to be in Spain, in the Jewel, with Principe and the community I know there! Whew!

So here's what I see that I did to attract this whole situation of being stalled in Munich longer than the divine had intended...
I thought that money had to come first before making plans to travel. Now you might say,"but Annie, isn't that true?"

Hmmmm. I'm going to twist your mind a little, as I've had to do mine.

We have been so well trained in the old paradigms...first have the material, then make your dreams, your plans...then be happy. First have the money...then do the talking. I'm here to tell you I fell into that old trap.

So I think I've been here about ten days too long, and during that time I've been figuring it out how to make it work, to begin my work here, find a place to live when it gets cold, start workshops, learn German and so forth...but guess what? my light shines the brightest when I'm in Spain with my Principe, the holder of the promise of The Jewel...

and so in Spain is where my light vibration will get out brightly...that's where all the attracting will happen! where I'm happy, and where things happen with ease! "but,but,but, you say and I say." The Spaniards are not so this and that...and here in Munich is this and that...Munich is where the .....is
nuhuh...has nothing to do with that.

As long as I stay true to my course, my lighthouse shines brightly, and you'll get some of that light! And people will find me from the most amazing corners of the planet!

So I am now so relieved and happy. I'm going to Spain next week in my campervan, The Prince! Principe, here I come!

And I ask you to support me in a financial way by going to www.awakeningadventures.biz/signup.html You can select an amount that is perfect for you. I've found that when I give, so much comes back in some very surprising ways..remember the movie, "Pay It Forward". Your contribution makes possible the formation of a model profitable, self-sustaining community, which will be the template for many communities to come. Thanks and Blessings!

You're invited to contribute for all of the wonderful writings you get to enjoy by clicking here! It would be greatly appreciated, especially right now, since I am in this transition period.

MAKING THE TRANSITION (and just go with my flow...I'm letting myself write from random thoughts)

So I'm writing to you on a day that feels very lonely. It is dawning on me, that I am someplace inbetween. Not yet German, not in Spain and no longer in the United States. Today, I realized that I've got to begin to let go of the last attachments to my previous culture and to begin to immerse myself in the German culture, the Bavarian culture, which is truly special.

So many people have said," Annie, when are you learning German?" So I've had plenty of signs to start, and I will sign up by the end of this week.

Last night I read from Frances Scovel Schinn's book, " The Game of Life" . This book should be read, if no other. You will understand what it means, what you must do, to attract what you truly want, into your life. It's a very small book and very profound. We are returned to the simple truths about life, that all of us have strayed so far from in growing up in this current culture.

This is a time, I also have many thoughts about what our world is changing into, and I can see why my inner longing for a self-sustaining, profitable, educational and crafting community, The Jewel , was born.

Yesterday, I glanced at a video clip from some news sent through the Impossible Promise Keepers..It was of children born deformed from the radioactive substances ingested by the birthing parents...parents in Iraq. I don't usually even look at news. The most news I see is the headlines from Yahoo. It was another wake-up call for me. I don't need much.

And then today, I read the texts of presentations from the last Ecovillage Network Conference about what they see that will be the evolution for all of us who willingly flow with what's wanting to happen, further down the road...click here to read some of the presentations. This was encouraging once again. Many wonderful changes are happening for all of us..we've just got to let go of old paradigms...really let go. I'll say more about this as I go along. I'm sensing what the presenters at the Conference are sensing...we're going back to local sustainable communities and simpler and joyful living. I'm starting now!


And where I want to shine my light is.... on what I know in my heart will work. For the last few days, I have been writing about what The Jewel Community will look like, and I've been studying other communities and organizations that support the formation of sustainable communities. Online today, I visited a beautiful community, a community created 20 years ago in northern Italy called, http://www.damanhur.info/ It's a community that allows for the natural springing forth of spiritual inspiration through the expression of the arts by ordinary people. People connecting with spirit and enlivening their community with rich spiritual connection through the arts.

In my own experience, my true inspiration comes, when I allow the time to create, create with artistic tools and create freely. Just to imagine an entire community where free self-expression in the arts is given free reign by the participants!

That's all for tonight. Miracles are truly happening all the time..and who Im being is relishing the moment.

THE TREE CUTTING DAY

This morning, my angels cards read, "Look Deeper","Move","Commitment"

Today is a "Blue Crystal Storm" day on the 13moon calendar. I day when things get churned up, so that newness can arise, so that what's wanting to happen can arise. It's a day of catalyzing...being the catalyzing agent for what's wanting to happen. That's me! the catalyst.

As I climbed out of my van, the sun was up and it was still quiet in the neighborhood. I danced under the tree of gratitude in my pyjamas and overcoat.
I said,
"I am that I am
I am a beloved child of God
All my needs are being met by what is already mine
Therefore I release the boulder out of the way of my dreams
And I accept my dreams
And I flow with loving gratitude for my blessings today"
(this prayer comes from Zoe Jarboe, a spiritual mentor of mine)

The evening before I could still feel the anger, coming from another man in someone's life and he was at a loss of what to do. He was drinking himself into oblivion.

This morning, a woman called on the phone,in total frustration and anger, and was speaking in German. I just left a message for someone to call her back.

Then the tree people came to cut a huge pine tree in the backyard.
As the men were gathering the huge chunks, tumbling from way up high, they stomped through the newly made goddess garden filled with lavender and pink roses. I just couldn't be upset,because I could immediately see the old lower energy, but went to them to firmly point out to them, to take care of where they step.
As I thought of beginning my writing today in Gina's office, the man outside was gunning his chainsaw with great delight. There was too much contrast, too much intensity. I packed a lunch and walked out to my meadow in the middle of the forest.

On the way were the far off sounds of target shooting. And helicopter and plane sounds overhead. I told myself, that it was soon lunchtime and everyone would take a break, and sure enough they did.

In the magic meadow, it is protected from a lot of noise. The meadow is totally surrounded by thick green moss covered forests. A man passing through with six dogs all happily trailing behind him..I just couldn't resist to run up to them to greet the entire family. The biggest dog rushed back to me to embrace me in his dog-loving way, and all the little ones followed like a happy chorus. All of his dogs were rescued in Italy. One had cancer of the mouth, and was predicted to die within days. And four months later after two walks a day in the magic meadow, the dog is totally healed.

The man didn't understand that the meadow has a healing energy. I did. I've been coming here every day. Now's the time to share with you an amazing machine, which was tested by NASA and is sold by a Swiss Mfg.Co. I saw this presented at an alternative health practioners fair in Munich. The machine collects certain radio waves outside of our atmosphere, which aren't so available from our planet. These wave frequencies help a person heal, recover, and energize. When the astronauts go up into space, they receive these frequencies to help them adjust. I've oversimplified this explanation.

So what I say is that there are certain places in nature, on the planet, where these healing vortexes are, and the magic meadow is one of those places. My healer in Houston and her mother, a healer, searched many areas of Houston, before being guided to an area where they could set up a practice and receive this healing energy to use in their treatments.

In the meadow, I again made some hatha yoga and swaying and twisting..I can't really explain it.(if you go to do this, don't wait to be instructed, you've just got to feel what your body wants and you will be following inner guidance) I just know it works. I was doing it for over an hour. My sense of smell came back to me as I pressed my nose to the lush meadow ground and I smelled the rich scents of so many herbs. I thought to myself..I must be able to eat all of these herbs! And I thought I've got to get in touch with some horticulterists..is that what they're called? and learn about all of the herbs here.

Then I layed out in the middle of the meadow in the sun, and began seeing The Jewel Project again. This time I imagined our Jewel Council meeting for the first time at the Gnostics property where Principe stays. This seems perfect to me. Because their community is so close to being what we envision and they have warmly invited me to stay whenever I want to.

There at the Gnostics, we could already be a Jewel community the way we've envisioned. We could work in the gardens, prepare meals together, eat together in the communal room,hold drumming circle and chanting under the still night sky,and walk the land in the Jewel valley with the Shepherd and other people of the community. Principe would also show us around! Perhaps we could also begin crafting for those ten days. As we craft our vision and our accountabilities, we could represent that in an artistic craft. The date I've selected for the Jewel Council to gather for the first time , is November 18th, a Yellow Seed Crystal day, my birthday. According to the 13 moon calendar, this is a day when people come together with their own gifts and resources to create a new vision, establishing new targets together in a united vision.

I hold this vision for the Jewel Council to meet on November 18th, 2006 in the valley of The Jewel, at the southern tip of Spain. I ask for guidance always, to open my eyes and my inner knowing, to see what's wanting to happen.

GIVING BIRTH TO A NEW WORLD

In the last entry I mentioned all the forgiveness happening. Between now and Sept.22 on the Solar Eclipse, if there's any lower vibrating feeling, belief lingering..now is the time to give it up. Read the blog just before this one, about how to do it!
And you'll know what there is to release because, you'll be attracting those types of uncomfortable situations.

In my new Zaadz community, there were three men who all responded to me with...they were so confused right now..one was so depressed..and they didn't know if there was anything to do about it. And these are men who meditate, who've done a lot of transformational work.

I sense we are all being invited to practice, what I call 'shifting'. Learning how to shift from these lower vibrating energies. Rachel Eckenrod , an intuitive energy healer says we are coming to a time when we are learning to heal ourselves. And this is something that we will learn to do, on the spot..to shift to a better feeling place, whenever we need to.

I've been through about ten days of releasing stuff, so far. And I feel a lot of anger releasing in the world around me. Karen Bishop writes about how now, the high vibrating light energy is being more polarized against the dark lower energies. And I'm noticing the contrast more powerfully than ever. (see next blog: Cutting Down the Tree)

By the way, after I spoke to my sister on Saturday, where at the time she was in a state of complete despair...since that time she released and forgave herself being unaccepting to herself and others. My niece was experiencing extreme anger and I invited her to release it into nature, and she did. She and my sister came closer together after a long spell.

Meanwhile my mother had to be hospitalized and will have double bypass surgery. I invited her to imagine tossing all of her anger and worries into an imaginary flowing river,as she lays there in intensive care in a hospital, and asked Dad to bring her some water sounds. I call them every day on Skype. What an amazing technology Skype is.

As soon as I found out about all of this happening with family and friends, I wrote a Strategic Attraction Plan for each person..my sister, my niece, and my mother, and for some other friends also healing. (I learned that the SAP is a healing tool, after I wrote it for my father, and the next day he reported the most amazing night of dreaming, where he revisited every incomplete unhappy event, and turned it into a happy ending)

I called my sister on Wednesday, and she said that all of the burden had lifted, and the people who had been cruel to her (she attracted that, and it doesn't excuse the people) were helping her and her daughter. Her ex-husband was helping them problem solve to keep the tent dry, and my niece's former husband suddenly sent 1,000 dollars to her. And my niece and my sister were working together peacefully.
Wow, I can't tell you how this makes me feel.

And the same happens in my own life. After releasing a lot of old beliefs and forgiving, I received an email from a very interested participant for the Jewel Project, and then had six people sign up for my newsletter...people I've never met before...and I attracted them!

You see my campervan, Prince, parked near the park filled with gratitude/ and you see Principe, my cat in Spain who holds the promise of the Jewel Community: a profitable, self-sustaining,educational and crafting community,where each one feels acknowleged for who they truly are

THE POPE'S IN MUNICH and THERE'S A BIG FORGIVENESS HAPPENING: ARE THE TWO RELATED?
So I've been getting a forgiveness card almost every day this week. And this has never happened before...to pull one so often. The angel cards are usually on target, I've found.
Yesterday, when I pulled it, I thought, still??? MORE forgivenss? to whom? for what?

Meanwhile, my email I sent out starting a week ago to my Strategic Attraction Coaching community, had the subject heading: BEING CHEATED BY THE VAN SELLER..YOUR THOUGHTS APPRECIATED
I was guided to demand justice from him...and no more sweet little Annie...I resisted doing this for about ten days...then I began writing to him a letter to be translated. I turned into a tyrant queen. I remember my former Spiritual teacher refering to me as the "screaming queen", about 17 years ago, after a certain incident.

I turned into a screaming queen again. So I swung from being passive, in my calm bliss, to being a screaming queen. Scolding, demanding, and making him WRONG!

I showed this letter to my Strategic Attraction Planning community,by email and it was a NO PASS!
And then I got some direct direction: Since I say "I was being cheated.." And since I know that I attracted that... (like attracts like)

the question is...I must have been cheating,too. what man have I cheated, or what people have I cheated..and then there's cheating myselfWell, when I read that, I went GUUULLLLPPP from the bottom of my pit. I knew I had to face it.

The tricky part for me is to look at where I've been doing this, and not tear myself to shreds.

So I wrote out as many events I could think of , where I cheated people. What I used to do, was...withold part of the information, for fear that I wouldn't get what I want. And this is exactly what the van seller did to me.

Then I felt the impact. I realized that when I witheld information, people couldn't really tell what I wanted, because I was witholding part of the information, or wouldn't say at all.
I remembered how possessive I was around food until very recently. I could see this holding onto things and holding onto parts of information...not letting them be known or shared.

So I had to make sure to remind myself that what I wrote down is the past and it has no meaning...it doesn't mean I'm bad or good. I put myself into loving light.

This morning, I felt worse. It was a very cold night, and somehow the cold kept trying to creep in beneath my layers of blankets. I climbed out of the campervan in my pyjamas and jacket and who would be waiting for me, but the magical white cat that jumped out of the tree on my first night under the gratitude tree! This cat is has the most pure divine energy, if there is such a distinction. It is a cat like Principe that almost doesn't seem to touch the ground with its delight. Its angelic.
This was my divine encouragement and acknowlegement.

As the morning wore on,I sensed that I wasn't the only one going through this healing, and I had to go to the forest and DO SOMETHING!

I had this big question...how to forgive? how to forgive? and I knew this was disempowering to pretend as though I didn't know...so I opened up "The Game of Life" by Frances Scovel Shinn and I read a very simple instruction:

"in steadily repeating the afirmation, "I cast this burden on the Christ within, and go free," the vision clears and with it a feeling of relief , and sooner or later comes the manifestiation of good, be it health, happiness or supply."It was a sunny day today in Munich and I biked out to my favorite clearing in the forest. It's a place where when people cross the clearing there is the deepest respect for each other.

I raised my arms to the warm sun and the totally solid blue sky and I offered my burden to the Christ, or I like to say to the divine Masters and angels. I could feel it release...loosen...I know because I start to feel joy come through.

I could feel my body full of stuff that I had stored in so many parts. It was now time to begin to let all this stuff to loosen and flow out. I don't have to know a particular dance or tai chi...that has been my experience..there's enough divine guidance inside of me, to show the way to move. I just let myself be guided by how my body wanted to move. People passed by and I waved and smiled and they smiled back.

Then I moved to the lush green clover grass earth, and lay in the sun on my back and swayed back and forth..I could feel all the painful spots, that I didn't know were there hours before. The great thing about Germany is you can take any clothes off, and people pay no attention...I took off my shirt, it was getting so hot...and basked in the sun as I rolled and rolled , kind of like a dog on her back, sguiggling this way and that, and that way and this, in any way I was guided.
I felt myself begin to loosen...

and sure enough, later in the day...other people were going through the same healing and forgiveness.

and interesting ..The Pope was in the square in Munich today...
and this evening, a new acquaintance I met in the park,just blocks from where the Pope appeared, told a story that she had to heal...10 years before, before the pope was the pope, he had interviewed her for a job in a Catholic institution, and he had refused her because she was a Mom without the Dad around. She was also refused and thrown out by a school director, and suffered berating criticism from family members, and on and on..

She had attracted all these people being critical of her, rejecting her! For her, it became clear to heal in herself the issue of criticism, rejection/acceptance. For her, the question could be..with whom have I been unaccepting and critical, including myself?

Then I called my sister in Baltimore...where she was in breakdown..
and yet for us..however it looks..even though painful..is beneficial

And for her today...
here's how it looked...
family member attacking her and physically attacking her
they are camping since one month and no other home
no more money in the account
credit card overdrawn...
ex-husband blaming her that day for the way she raised her daughters
and the day before she had a tooth extracted, after a month's infection

my sister and I know the blessings in all of this, and know that many more are on their way,,, always
My sister is standing up for her dream.
Her dream to be an innkeeper, for an establishment which holds the space of integrity, to her satisfaction..
so after one breakdown and another, innkeepers that didn't work out,
innkeepers that deceive, just like my car salesman,
rainy nights in a tent,
with her daughter and her grandson,
she held out for a better place to work and she begins on Sept.15th

So as I called her, her tooth extracted the night before and her body reeling,
her car battery dead
in the campground,

I took her through the forgiveness process that I had just given myself..
she is a willing recepient..
sometimes I think I'm like Jnaneshwar, the young teacher saint in India, who coached his brothers and sisters, and all acheived sainthood at a young age.
for her, it was also forgiving herself for being unaccepting
She attracted men and people not accepting her
and so she took on looking at where she had been unaccepting
and doing it with love..
and then she was also going to go to the grass and dance under the same sun.
And just before we finished she warned me that her cell phone was about to run out of juice...just at the perfect moment.

So, I sense that there are many of us who are feeling the call to forgiveness, given all that happened this day.

THE NEXT IMPORTANT STEP IS TO SAY WHAT I WANT FROM HERE..
WHAT BEEING DO I NOW WANT?
FOR HERE I STAND
AS I DO IN EVERY MOMENT
ALWAYS THE PERFECT OPPORTUNITY
TO SAY WHAT I WANT
I KNOW WHAT I WANT..
BEING..
BEING GOLDEN TRUST
and here's what I see..
its always my golden opportunity to trust..
to say the entire truth with love
to speak the perfect and less than perfect
to each and every,
and trust that the law of attraction will do its magic, as always.I got so clear in these last 48 hours, that I can't blame the world for anything...it does no good...it just keeps the whole thing perpetuating...we can see how, until now, we perpetuated it, in each of our lives..this is how applying the Law of Attraction, and Strategic Attraction Planning T works. you just read about part of the process...you saw the 'shifting' happened today...I encourage you to allow yourself the same opportunity...to heal yourself and cause of rippling of forgiving.

SEPT 7 - FULL MOON LUNAR ECLIPSE HAPPENS - I SENSED THERE WAS SOMETHING UP

(to receive the Awakening Adventures Newsletter bimonthly featuring Annie Mae West, wild horse woman of the West, click here!
So I begin to feel the energy shifting and you do too. You'll start to see how what you're experiencing inside yourself matches with what's happening energetically in the universe. There are many ways to get verification of what you're sensing.
So I'll share what happened to me, yesterday.

I began yesterday, with reading the 13moon calendar, doing an angel card reading (I use the "Saints and Angel Oracle Cards" by Doreen Virtue. They are easy to use. In the booklet, it give s you simple instructions), and sensing what are the inspired actions. Then I walked back to my van that faces the magical park to chant and meditate. Once I finished, I did a coloring with oil pastels( I'm not a trained artist. I just let myself flow, let my hand pick the color.because that's the most important thing anyway. It's a way of opening up the right intuitive side)

Then a 'sign of land' happened. A mother with her two young daughters walked over to me to greet me and ask me about my art work! (this is a first!) I had just written this event to happen in my Strategic Attraction Plan: "parents in the park would come over to me to introduce themselves and be curious about what I do." And it happened!

Then when I returned to Gina's office to check my mail, I received a message from Sylva saying I had won an entire Spa party kit from Amazon Herbs, because I won the contest for giving the most Amazon Spa Parties. Hurray! But somehow, I noticed that I was not really connected to the amazement of that gift.

So then I began my work connecting with people, writing new articles, and so forth. And as the afternoon wore on, I noticed a shift happening inside of me: I began to feel impatient. A little voice saying, "When am I going to start having clients?" "When is this person going to call me?" "He's not coming back for two weeks! I can't wait that long to talk about the Jewel Project!" I felt my body stiffen and be sore. I noticed I was eating even though I was not hungry.
At sunset, I felt the urge to go outside to the park and just as I was leaving, the neighbors brought Leon to the front door. He had painfully been injured while playing soccer. We called our godmother,Rosie, since Gina is on a trip. I applied Amazon Recovazon to his aching big toe. And Rosie took Leon back to her home to nurture him.

I went for a bike ride in the forest again, and when I did, I realized all of the garbage, the old messages that were coming up in my head, and it felt, as I was bike riding furiously, that this stuff was emptyiing out. I just let it empty. I didn't feel alarmed by it. All I knew is..I'm letting go of this stuff, who cares if it's mine or the worlds (it could be either, since I am one. There really is no separation.) The 'stuff' was a lot of impatience, pouting, opposite of gratitude feeling. The complaint: "when will I get there!"

As I returned to my magical park in the stillness of the night, I could feel that my body still had this stuff! Hmmmm. I remembered Rachel, my fellow Jewel Council member saying to me days ago, Annie , I am with you. Just call on me and I will be with you to support you.

So I went beneath my tree of gratitude, near to where many young children play in the park, every day, and called on Rachel to bring me back to gratitude. I did this practice of dancing, kind of in tai chi mode, where I'm flowing my upper body, swaying back and forth with my arms, then raising my arms in the air in a V and swaying and circling...swaying like a tree sways...and thanking the tree, thinking of all the people, the events, the gifts, that I am grateful for and continue to thank in joy until I actually feel a shift in my being.

And it worked. I've learned the most important thing to do is to get back to that better feeling place, that place of true contentment, true peace. In that space I am attracting everything, receiving everything, I'm asking for from my heart.
___________________________

And that night, after opening up again to flow...I received new information. On Zaadz, I found the German community of Zaadsters and one person is accountable for introducing the Enlightenment magazine to Germany, and as it turns out, in his reply today, he comes to Munich on Friday to give a presentation, and invited me.

And much, much more opened up.

___________________________
So that intensity and resisting the flow, I experienced yesterday before surrendering it, I now understand why the intensity...as I read an email from Kris Shellman..she sends me a lot of helpful info. and its about the amazing full lunar eclipse happening tomorrow and how it can affect us. When these things happen, you might have noticed that we can start to feel the impact a day or so before.

Here is what Kris sent me:Hi Everyone,
We are in the midst of a great pressure-cooker of change right now; some of us are feeling it more than others, but it's definitely an interesting time. This next quote kind of sums it up... go to the link to read the full article if you are so inclined:

"Sept 2006 is a stunning month of incredible opportunity for growth and gaining new perspective. It is a month holding a lunar and solar eclipse along with the fall equinox. The momentum that has been harnessed from the past eight months is unstoppable - we are bridging that canyon of fear held within the collective consciousness like never before...." http://shala.lightworker.com/

Both Eclipses this month (Sept 7 and Sept 22) have this meaning: "loss or separation, finishing something and feeling sad at its completion." Also -- head's up: It can also be about "physical injury, especially through overstraining yourself. This is not a time to engage in strenuous physical activities." http://www.astrocycles.com/

The September 7th Eclipse in PISCES this week has the following meaning: "opening to creative inspiration, higher forces, dreams and ideals." This week and for the next few weeks, pay attention to what the Universe will be flowing to you. Listen to your intution and deep inner connection to your Higher Power. This connection will bring you clues as to the creative vitality of the new world that lies in front of you. "Now is the time to relax and go with the flow, leaving behind any urges to resist or push forward. Doing so will open you up to the potential of one creative inspiration followed by another. Used negatively, you don't have enough energy to meditate, but sleep instead, missing the understanding." http://www.astrocycles.com/

Below I have provided some info on:

Have a great week,

HOW TO WORK WITH FULL MOON ENERGY: The symbolic seed flowers! This is the culmination of the waxing cycle and the beginning of the waning cycle. The Sun and Moon are farthest apart and form a direct opposition.

In general, a Full Moon pops things for better or worse. It acts as an in your face mirror that reveals how well you've done with your New Moon "seed intentions". If you've released blockages and maintained a mostly positive attitude during the waxing period, the Full Moon brings fulfillment, illumination or revelation.

If you haven't nurtured your vision or have been harboring a negative attitude, the Full Moon can be expected to bring about a tug of war that can be a physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual conflict. http://www.moonsurfing.com/fm-ovr.html

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW TO WORK WITH FULL MOON ENERGY (Full Moon - 180 -225 degrees ahead of sun): The full moon is the pinnacle, the climactic point. Now we get answers. You'll see a lot of extremes now. The way you interpret those has a lot to do with your inner landscape -- you reflect what's going on around you.
With such a polarity, projection runs rampant. If you go outside and see people acting like lunatics, that's your projection. If everyone looks beautiful, that's also your interpretation. What you perceive depends on how you're feeling.

The gravitational pull of both sun and moon, with the earth in middle, sets up these extremes. The trick here is to find balance. If we're out of balance, we'll go one way or the other; we'll either be blinded by the light, or we won't even see it. The moon's magnetic pull makes this a very powerful time. Whatever Sun Sign the full moon is in has a strong effect on our energies. That effect will play out according to each person's individual chart.

A lot tends to happen around the full moon: more people end up in emergency rooms, the police scanners go wild. But it's also a time for romance. The play of light over the water, the moon hanging in the branches of trees, the huge orb rising over a cityscape -- all these put us more in touch with our creature sense. Time to howl at the moon. The full moon is also associated with fertilization and ovulation. http://goddess.astrology.com/moon/phases.html?nlcid=at|08-07-2006


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW TO WORK WITH ECLIPSE ENERGY - Eclipses have been powerful mysteries since ancient times. We average four eclipses during a year. Two of those are solar and they coincide with the New Moon. Two are lunar, when the Earth is directly between the Sun and the Moon and its shadow obscures the Moon. The eclipses work together -- two weeks pass between a solar and a lunar eclipse and they occur about six months apart.

During an eclipse of the Moon, some tribes of the Orinoco used to bury lighted brands in the ground; because, said they, if the Moon were to be extinguished, all fire on earth would be extinguished with her, except such as was hidden from her sight. --Sir James George Frazer, The Golden Bough

Eclipses affect world events. Princess Diana, who shares the name of the Moon goddess, is a contemporary feminine mythic figure. Major events happened in her life during eclipses -- her marriage, the birth of one of her children (William), her divorce, and her death.

We are affected on a global level by eclipses...Strangely, few people are born during eclipses. But the date of an eclipse that precedes your birth can be significant throughout your life -- you may even notice an annual influence. It's called a pre-natal eclipse and it tends to portend a subtle, not a major event. These may be external events or reflective internal ones, like decisions that signal life changes to follow. http://goddess.astrology.com/moon/phaseoverview.html?nlcid=astMHLaug03|c



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW TO WORK WITH ECLIPSE ENERGY - Each year we have two Lunar eclipses, and two Solar eclipses. An eclipse has long lasting effects, and shuts down some aspect of the life so that other parts can flourish in the future.

A Solar eclipse shuts down the light in the house in which it falls, whereas a Lunar eclipse shuts down the form of the house in which it falls.

Examine astrological information about an Eclipse in light of events that have transpired in your lives since the time of the Eclipse, especially since the Solar eclipse effect is still full on for some years to come. http://www.aquariuspapers.com/

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SEPTEMBER 7, 2006 - FULL MOON LUNAR ECLIPSE IN PISCES - This is a time for deep rooted issues – we may previously have been able to just briefly touch on some of our core issues, and then carry on until we felt ready to deal with these issues, but with the numerous accelerated planetary activities at this time, and the speeding up of the vibrational energy on the Earth plane into Solar Christ Consciousness, we have no choice but to work with all core issues, and bring a new balance to our Service work – and of course we always have a choice as to how we process and integrate through the emotional body primarily – this process can be done with humor and grace or through the negative aspects to the first ray of will and power through power and control issues. ...


We are being presented with a golden opportunity in this Now to truly step into empowerment through Service in Love. And we are presented with another opportunity through the full moon lunar eclipse on September 7th to truly release all that is holding us back from being these creative, precious and wonderful Master Beings, and take the Light into all areas of our own shadows, and through this work, release these old patterns for all humanity, within the Cosmic Law of Free Will. The Solar eclipse and equinox on September 22nd, brings a further focus to our Service work, and aligning with our Highest Potential, and following this, many new projects will truly be able to blossom if the foundations have been put into place these last few months. http://www.pleiadianlight.net/

SEPTEMBER 7, 2006 - FULL MOON LUNAR ECLIPSE IN PISCES - Take a Chill Pill as Emotions Intensify. You may feel like you are on emotional overload with this week's interesting and dramatic mixture of planetary events. When planets change direction close to the time of an eclipse, things that have been getting ready to happen, happen.

Full Moons are known for being times when emotions are super strong. When a full Moon is also in a lunar eclipse, emotions get dialed up even more. Add to that the fact that this eclipse takes place in PISCES, the most sensitive sign of the zodiac, and you can count on yourself and others feeling hypersensitive. This touchy full Moon has the dynamic, high-energy players Mars and Uranus involved. Independence and freedom are a big deal for everyone right now, and anyone feeling trampled upon won't be quiet about it.

Help yourself by carving out some alone-time to create emotional tranquility. Watch a beautiful sunset or listen to a beautiful piece of music. The goal here is to put yourself in the state where you feel your connection to everything and to tune into your dreams. Because full Moons, and even lunar eclipses, represent a culmination from what you set in motion during the last new Moon, look back at the new Moon on August 23 for a review. Between now and the next new Moon later this month, which is also a solar eclipse, get a plan together to make changes that will make you feel more comfortable about things. http://www.astrology.com/
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SEPTEMBER 7, 2006 - FULL MOON LUNAR ECLIPSE IN PISCES This eclipse will be a partial lunar eclipse meaning that the Moon passes through a portion of the Earth's shadow (known as the "umbra") blocking the Sun's light and creating a shadow moving across the Moon.

The eclipse will be visible from Africa, Asia, Australia and eastern Europe... but not from North America. The eclipse begins at 11:41 AM PDT/6:41 PM GMT, peaks at 11:51 AM PDT and ends at 1:26 PM PDT.

What's been in the dark comes into the light, giving you an opportunity to finish up a great life lesson in the area indicated by 15° Pisces/Virgo in your chart and graduate to a new level.

This middle degree is a turning point where the pull of your past is equal to the pressing call of your future. Experience your resistance, transform, and re-align with a higher purpose. The insights you receive and the decisions you make now will unfold for the next 3-6 months.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SEPTEMBER 7, 2006 - FULL MOON LUNAR ECLIPSE IN PISCES This radical shift period will continue in even bigger ways thanks to the coming Lunar Eclipse at 15 Pisces-Virgo occurring September 7 at 2:42 pm EDT. As that Eclipse falls near Pluto going stationary direct on September 4 at the same period as Sun opposition Uranus, you can definitely expect some unexpected events to revolutionize your life. For those pitting their little will against the Higher Law or the greater evolutionary trend, there will of course be crashes through abrupt and unexpected explosions. http://www.aquariuspapers.com/astrology/2006/08/the_edge_of_maj.html#more

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SEPTEMBER 7, 2006 - FULL MOON LUNAR ECLIPSE IN PISCES at 2:42 PM EDT - This Lunar Eclipse highlights immense diversification in perception! The Moon in dreamy Pisces cannot reflect the beams of the Sun in practical and analytical Virgo. It would seem that inner vision may be the only area of accord! This polarity point can intensify our desire to overindulge in food, drink and fantasy. It is also a magnifier of memories along with the emotional joys and sorrows of both childhood and early self-definition. A word of caution! Do not drive even short distances if your vision is occluded. This includes, fog, rain, intense construction areas or if you have ingested or drank anything that can effect your reflexes. http://www.aphrodette.com/

SEPTEMBER 7, 2006 - FULL MOON LUNAR ECLIPSE IN PISCES - Welcome to the second and last season of eclipses for 2006. This week's Full Moon (partial Lunar) eclipse is brought to you by the sign of PISCES, ruler of poetry, the sea, enlightenment … and confusion.

For all of us, eclipses represent a time when we have to "Let go, and let God" – or if you're not into 'God', try "Letting go and letting it flow"…

If you are clinging to a person, idea or situation which you know in your heart has run its course, no matter what your sign, the eclipse might just release your grip for you.

The planets most influencing this eclipse are Neptune and Uranus, suggesting times of radical change, sudden clarity and unexpected realisations akin to `having the wool pulled from your eyes'. Sudden spiritual insights are not out of the question for those on a cosmic quest.

Since `bring out yer dead wood' Pluto is also affecting this eclipse, it's a time to detox, get rid of the bad stuff, excrete the dross, put your emotional toxins in the great insinkerator in the sky and generally allow for the possibility of a rebirth.

Eclipses were regarded in ye olde days are portents of doom, largely because the rulers of the day used them to keep the rabble under control, by predicting where and when the skies would darken. And Lo! They did darken! And everyone freaked out!

Today we know better than to be scared of eclipses. They remain, however, a force to be reckoned with, especially if you are not allowing life to just unfold but are insisting on `my way or the highway'.

Giving up control is a major theme of this week's eclipse. Where in your life are you hanging on for grim death or trying to run someone else's life? Positively, this eclipse is likely to herald a rush of new opportunities for many, even if the initial changes seem daunting. Trust the process. http://www.moonology.com

THE CHURCH OF THE ASCENSION: JUST AROUND THE CORNER



Just a few days ago, Gina suggested going to the church around the block for their Sunday program.

When I first arrived in Munich and the taxi driver stalled at the church to find the mysterious Althener Platz, I noted it with unusual curiousity. The kind of curiousity that comes from beneath all thinking.

I passed it again and again on my way to places, and I was curious, curious..each time. Mattison Grey is a great teacher around curiousity. (find Mattison at www.greystoneguides.com)
Curiousity is a tool that totally unfolded in me from being almost dead. Formal education kills curiousity most of the time. Those that let themselves be curious and follow their curiousity, don't always follow the same beat as you would expect. They may surprise you and suddenly cut out of a planned activity or take a different road.

Here's my words of wisdom. Let someone..a child..an adult, yourself! be curious and follow it. If they change plans at the last minute or suddenly this or that, don't be alarmed. It's a GOOD THING. That's why I love project based learning, the way I used to teach it. From one day to the next my kindergarten class never knew how our project would unfold or what direction it would take, especially since we had 25 ingenious little wizards and 1 large wizard participating. We had the most amazing learning. It was learning that the children generated and will never forget.

Curiousity requires letting go of pre-judgement. In the past, I would have immediately discounted going to visit a church, based on childhood memories. I got hints that it was time to let go of all that judgement. Just before I leapt to Europe, I volunteered to go to my parent's Methodist Church with them, and magical things happened. We sang a song, newly written that was about following the dream and literally brought me to tears of gratitude. In another church, a gay and lesbian church, there was ecstatic dancing which brought me to a flood of tears. ( I used to NOT be moved to tears, no matter what)

So, even though I may find there are certain practices in organizations which are wrong teaching, wrong education..basically anything that cuts humans off from following their own inner guidance, there is still a heart.

So I went to the Anglican/Episcopal Church of Ascension just a block away from Gina's and the tree of gratitude, to their English service. As I enter I meet another visitor, Celeste, who says that she is attending this church, because she chooses a church that empowers her to follow her own inner guidance! The service began with a reading:

"so now, Israel, give heed to the statutes and ordinances that I am teaching you to observe,so that you may live to enter and occupy the land that the Lord, the God of your ancestors, is giving you."

and for me the statutes and ordinances are my own inner guidance. and my inner guidance is saying...stay here in Munich for a while!

"so that I may live to enter and occupy the land that the Lord, the God of your ancenstors, is giving you"...is the land of The Jewel. I have lived there in that region many lifetimes. I actually lived on the deserts of northern Africa and the middle east as a bedoin princess. So The Jewel is the closest I can be to that area..it is just 15 miles across the water to Africa. And yet, its not only because of the past that I'm supposed to be there, it is the future, too. There is work to do there to help mother earth move through, transition , the way she is wanting. And part of it, is creating a new type of community.

THE PRINCE PARKED NEAR THE TREE OF GRATITUDE
and The Bear, I attracted and he attracted me, at the recycling center. He sits in the passenger seat with his smile of content, by day, and by night, sleeps with me and insulates me from the cold.

HICKVILLINGEN !

Now that Blogger is happy ingesting lots of pictures again, I am sharing pictures of happy memories. These were taken of the Prince as we camped along the river Donau, just outside of Dillingen. "Dillingen!", said a young local, "What would bring you to Dillingen?" I guessed that Dillingen was synonomous with Hickville, so Dillingen could be turned into Hickvillingen!

So what was the Prince and I doing in Hickvillingen? Well, we didn't plan it. After 100km on the autobahn, the traffic came to a non-stop and it suddenly occured to Annie to follow the traffic exiting onto a beautiful country road! The next thing was to attract a campsite and just a few days before I had done a visioning excersize where I imagined I was a glassy flowing river, so who would I attract, but the river Donau, a smooth glassy flowing river.

It was here that I spend a total of five nights with the Prince, and in that time we found the German Bade Baba sitting beside the river. (Bade Baba, a great saint from India) And father Bade Baba Donau's message was ...always be the student of life.(you can't see in the picture,but father Donau is barefoot. Barefoot! How uncommon in Germany. Bade Baba was always barefoot!)

So, in the midst of all the hurts and pains, which frog princess smiled the whole way through, the river goddess Donau, brought us back to healing and flowing, and the Prince got a new kidney. And its here I started to see that it was in the Munich area that I was supposed to station to receive.

PRINZIP - PRINCIPE
Another picture of the recycling center in Munich. It was such a delight. Another delight is seeing the beds of flowers in the countryside with the sign, Harvest flowers as you wish. Suggested Donation: 1 Euro per...

One way to show your appreciation of what your receive from the Chronicles,is to email me and share your stories of attraction. What did you attract into your life recently, that amazes you, brings you joy, or that has you wondering? What are you noticing that is showing up three times or more..something that begs your attention?

on with the Frog Princess story...

when I told Gina, that I realized I was supposed to stay in the Munich area to receive new information from here, and told her I also long to teach the Strategic Attraction Planning process to parents (my course: "Attracting Miracles in Raising Your Child") I could see her wheels go into motion. Gina is the " makes things get started" goddess.

She mentioned the two international English schools where I could do presentations to parents, and then she mentioned the church, just a block away from Gina's flat.
I'll go back to that later on.

So yesterday morning, I climbed out of the Prince, still in my pyjamas, to go make breakfast and do the angel cards and 13 moon calendar. After about an hour, still in pyjamas, and planning to color my hair, in comes Gina. "How would you like to go with Leon and I, right now, to Tegernsee today? I've got to return something and I thought it would be the perfect place to go" ( a magical lake we had been to before."See" means lake) As much as I felt like taking my time that morning, and coloring my hair, something told me to go with Gina. So I got 30 minutes to prepare.

On our drive, we had to get through the traffic line up on the Salzburg highway and then the slow traffic on the country road to Tagernsee. We used our time well. Leon asked if I would like to read outloud his childrens novel in German. This was the first time to read German and Gina said I sounded natural! (I've been getting lots of divine hints about learning German)

And what unfolded in our conversations was what we wanted to do with the Strategic Attraction Planning here in Germany. Gina and I are both passionate about using this tool to help parents with their children. And as I mentioning recently, the book, "Attracting Perfect Customers" just came out in German translation on the day, I was making my flier to hand out to parents! The German title is "Das Leuchtturm-Prinzip" which means, 'the lighthouse principle'.

I have to tell you, that I named my cat, which is the holder of my promise and waits for me in Spain...I named him PRINCIPE! two years ago, before I consciously even knew that I would be a Strategic Attraction Coach..or that the book, Das Leuchtturm-Prinzip.....get it! Prinzip - Principe !As eager as I was to rush off to Spain to my beloved Jewel and to Principe, who's been holding the promise and the place since last November,05, the angels had to do everything in their power to bring me back here to Munich. Here is Munich is the promise of the Jewel, too.

There are certain places, where if we stand there , it is in that auspicious place that we will receive untold amounts, all to benefit the movement forward on our beloved project.

Munich is one of those places.

So Gina and I want to write a workbook for parents that incorporate all of the tools in and around the Strategic Attraction Process. This week while she travels to Italy and I stay here, both of us will be collecting divine inspiration about what we want to be in the workbook.

Gina and I are the first Strategic Attraction Coaches in mainland Europe. That is quite something. It is exciting to think about the word getting out to parents, that they can actually have the relationship that they dreamed of, with their child.

"I am surrendered to opportunity" read my 13 moon (www.13moon.com) calendar reading yesterday. I am surrendered to being here in Munich and doing the work that's wanting to happen here.
And I am so thrilled to be working together with Gina!

I FLOW WITH LOVING GRATITUDE FOR MY BLESSINGS TODAY


You can make a love donation for receiving The Frog Princess Chronicles by going to:
www.awakeningadventures.biz/signup.html and select an amount that's perfect for you!

Every day I say in the mirror, looking into my eyes:
I am that I am
I am a child of god
All my needs are being met by what is already mine
Everything that happens to me, happens for my highest good.
I flow with loving gratitude for my blessings today.

The key to attracting what you want in life is living in a state of gratitude, gratitude for every thing you pick out to appreciate around you, and gratitude for the visions you have, which you see them as already fulfilled.

The clue to knowing if you are in true gratitude (versus trying to be positive) is if your whole body feels the peace and stillness and joy. I check in with my body to feel if its feeling peace, true contentment. I've learned to notice how that feels in contrast to the many other feeling places I have been.

On Friday night, I realized what was perfect for me, even though Gina had an open invitation for me to continue sleeping in her flat, was to sleep in the Prince.
I realized that the perfect place to park the Prince was at the other side of the park on the street under a row of trees. It's near the gratitude tree in the park.

Somehow,I felt that after chanting many times in The Prince, while beside the river Donau, that now it was time to dwell there each night.

So I parked the Prince in that magic place. Most of my van windows faced the pathway to the park and to the gratitude tree. The neighborhood of Athener Platz was totally still. The houses sat at some distance, across from the park. I pulled the curtains to encircle myself in privacy, tucked myself in with the big bear, and envisioned my campervan encircled in protective white light. And I fell into deep, deep sleep.

The next morning, I woke up in gratitude, complete gratitude. It was 7:30am and there was not a single sound, not a SINGLE SOUND! I let myself lie there to experience this complete stillness. This is the complete stillness that Karen Bishop (www.whatsuponplanetearth.com) writes about that is available to us now, now that the energies have so shifted, that we can be in complete stillness, complete joy, complete gratitude without any effort at all. (notice I had not chanted or meditated) I dwelled there for an hour in the van in stillness. I vowed to myself to keep allowing that stillness to be present throughout my days.

Now, the Prince is my home, and this is where I will begin each day.

THE PRINCE, HOME

What a funny cartoon! In the month of August, I had so many questions about The Prince campervan. How to make the cooking gas work, how to connect electrically, how to drive up the steep hill in slow traffic with shifting? Where can I park it at night? August was a month of getting The Prince fixed up and the two of us, in harmony with each other. It was exhausting at times, going back and forth with paperwork, repairs, and the fear that kept creeping up about how,how,how? (a question I need never ask, instead I ask for what I want, and it is always given! and then watch for the answers!) The Prince was so patient. It sat wherever it sat, with Frog Princess at the dashboard, smiling gaily, while it waited for the next breakthrough. The Prince and Frog Princess knew that 'EVERYTHING IS ALRIGHT!'

Sometimes,I would join them in celebration of breakdowns and breakthroughs and other times I would feel closed down in fear. When I felt being in fear, worry, anxiety, I knew the thing to do was simple,,,,go to a better feeling place. (this is the work of www.Abraham-Hicks.com ) And as Esther who speaks for Abraham says, you can't expect to jump from anxiety to joy. First you must allow yourself to feel an emotion further up on the emotional scale, like anger or revenge, and after that, then you can move up into contentment and joy and all those other 'high vibrations'.

So for a while, I didn't allow myself to feel anger and disgust towards the seller of the campervan, now called 'the Prince'.
That's something I used to deny myself, is the ability to be FIRM and show ANGER with adults. I was always good with that with children. So I am now being a COMMANDER of the Jewel Project, who will show disapproval, disagreement, anger and fury, if it is ever needed. It's a useful tool, when I am aware of my emotion and not attached to it, and whenever I am angry about the 'situation' about 'injustice'.

It's a different thing to hold onto anger towards a person or people..that is destructive and nonproductive. Or to stay in a story that keeps producing anger is also unproductive.

What's so key, I feel, is to move on and release any memories, impressions of the past. And MOVE ON FAST! There's so much waiting to be given to us!

So on Friday, Sept. 1st, I went into downtown Munich to catch the train...on the way...I was in search of color and cut for my hair. I raised my hand into the air to ask the divine masters to help find the perfect place. I happened past a little whole foods shop, and walked in...and there was Manuela, with her arms wide open with a whole line of harmless hair color..with the color swatch samples!! hurray! at a cost of 11 euro..much more perfect than 40 Euro in the beauty shop. And at all the shops a haircut was 40-50 Euros, and so I went into town and there at the railway station I remembered a hair salon, where everyone speaks arabic.

And there I got a haircut for 16 euro, by a young Turkish woman. So perfect for me, being in a hair salon with the arab world..part of me is connected to that part of the world.

Trains in Germany are so convenient and so linked to local transport. I took a 1:30pm train to Gunzberg to pick up 'The Prince' from the VW repair shop. I was feeling a cloud over me..I think it was fear, from the recent past. I declared that the day would flow with ease and joy.

When I was handed the keys to the Prince, I walked out and as soon as I saw The Prince I was filled with joy! immense joy! reuniting with my beloved, my home!

Prince, Frog Princess and I sailed out of Gunzberg, back on the autobahn, to Munich. And just so you know, the autobahn seems alot tammer than 20 yrs ago. People say the price of petrol has gotten people to slow down. I kept the Prince in the right lane with all the trucks.

Exited for Munich via Passing, and came upon a detour, which detoured me! So I asked for an English speaking person to show up, and a young woman came to my van and was delighted to help. Her directions got me into Munich, where I again got off the track, by one block. Another English speaking person got me back on track, and from there I followed the trumpeted Elephant signs (Zoo) through a part of Munich,to where I recognized the turns towards Gina's. As I was driving, I said to myself, I've got to lean into this driving, the same way I do in Houston..and with activating my male aggressive I was flowing through the turns of the city.

So, I said, next thing...is study the map of Munich every day. Become familiar with areas, names of main streets, suburbs. The next day, our godmother Rosie, said, Annie I think you are going to be here a while!
