"we give thanks for our friends.
our dear friends.
we anger each other.
we fail each other.
we share this sad earth, this tender life,
this precious time.
such richness. such wildness.
together we are blown about.
together we are dragged along.
all this delight.
all this suffering.
all this forgiving life.
we hold it together.

amen."

~ michael leunig


i have been ruptured clean by you.
you who have let me in your life.
you who have shared your sacred spirits with me.
you who have chose not to.
you who have stood unblinking before my camera and allowed me to document my divinity.
you who choose not to yet.
you who i forgive.
you who i struggle to forgive.
you who have been the greatest miracles i have ever experienced.
you who have held me when i did not know where the next moment's strength would come from.
you who i tooted in my car yesterday when you cut in.
you who have circled with me.
you who brush my hair.
you who forgive me.
you who struggle to forgive me.
you who i love dearly.
you who i do not.
you who i have learned to leave out of my energy space.
you who leave sweet comments to say "i hear you."
you who chose not to.
you who help me remember my soul.
you who may feel angry with me.
you who are madly in love with me.
you who i feel disappointed by.
you who i have disappointed.
you who feel the greatest.
you who feel the smallest.

i give thanks to each of you, and for all of you,
for being just what i needed.

you who is doing the best you can,
just as i am.

you, i respect you.
you, i honour you.
you, i love you.

with love to the world,
leonie

Earth angels

I read this wonderful little book over the last few days, and wanted to share it with you.
Doreen Virtue's "Earth Angels: A Pocket Guide for Incarnated Angels, Elementals, Starpeople, Walk-ins and Wizards"



I grew up feeling like I was different, and now I understand why.
My soul purpose here on life is different ~ it is vibrant and alive, and it guides me at each turn.
When people make mention of my young age, I tell them my childhood felt like I was simply waiting to grow up so I could get back on my spiritual journey again.
It feels good to know I'm not the only one. That there are others out there. That my difference is for a reason.

It has brought me joy and understanding. I read it with laughter and giggles, and on the odd moment, tears. Tears when I realised why my energy can feel intense sometimes and why I feel so guided to speak my truth and be a spiritual teacher.
[For those playing at home, it is because I am from the Wise One tribe]
And... *gentle smile*... why I find it difficult when I offer advice and it isn't used.
When I read this, a familiar voice popped up in my head and said
"Damn straight... don't they know that my advice can change their life! I give great advice!"
I read on to find these words by a fellow Wise One:
"If people would just take my advice all of their problems would cease to be. I'm not being arrogant, I just know what would help them."
At this point, I was both laughing and in tears.
{On the topic, I am learning new ways of accepting and advice giving, it's all a healing journey}

And now I see who the other souls in my life are ~ their purpose, where they are from, why they are the way they are. It makes sense, and it fills me with compassion and love for our unique differences. Even when we look different, act different, do our lives in totally different ways, we all come from the one source with the one truth.

Love.

You can read an overview from the book on the five types of earth angels here, and order the book here.


I would love to hear your earth angel experiences...

important questions

he takes his shoes off to walk around her


how can i do the work of the goddess more? (keep doing what i'm doing as i am called to it)
how can i be more gentle with myself? (listen to my body, it has all the answers)
how do i remain in connection with the earth? (walk barefoot on Her every day)
how can i ask more for what i truly want? (be clear, be conscious, be true and real)
how do i discover what i truly want? (a whole plethora of ways, a path of its own that is enchanting to discover)

these are my important questions for the week.
i paint and drink chai tea and soak in the sun,
and all the while i am asking and receiving, listening and hearing.


leonie's imminent resources in gentleness, connection and asking
jennifer louden's the woman's comfort book
"the secret" movie
byron chai tea
not finishing books, and being okay with that
a laughing dog
shakti gawain's return to the garden
a wall full of your own photos to gaze upon.


on a sundrenched sunday,
i send you blessings,
Leonie
