This caught my eye

Yesterday I was feeling sort of lost and stuck. I opened my copy of Ask and It Is Given and this quote is what caught my eye.

" We refer to that time between your offering of a thought and its physical manifestation as " the buffer of time." This is that wonderful time of offering thought, noticing how it feels, adjusting he thought to achieve an even better feeling, and then, in an attitude of absolute expectation, enjoying the gentle, steady unfolding of anything and everything that you have concluded as your desires."

So this paragraph basically saved me from falling into some type of despair based on the fact I feel that buffer of time right now.

What a great relief.

This morning I went to a sale at Glassy Baby. It was great. I got six new colors for my sister. If you have not checked out this company, I highly encourage you too. They are wonderful.

Have Faith... AGAIN

So there is a reason to have faith. See that picture? That is SUNSHINE in my garden. I woke up this morning to the sun. Sometimes I forget how much I love the sun but then days like today make me realize how wonderful this world is.

I am going to spend some time outside in my new garden, enjoying the sunshine and looking at all the new growth.

Also, I spent this weekend making candles and coming up with new recipes.

There will be more about these in the next few days.

The last time we saw the sun

OK, after 28 straight days of rain and the another week of pouring rain I have the winter blues.
Normally the weather does not get me down but this year is painful.

So my task for today is to create a candle that reminds me of the summer time. Endless days of sunshine and short nights. This year we will spend all summer outside in our new yard. Having bonfires and eating our meals on the deck. Playing with the dog and gardening the evenings away.

So I ask all of you that can, please send some sunshine this way....

New Candles

This weekend was a very productive weekend. Because of my big move at the beginning of the year, I have been unable to make any new candles. Well the creative focus came back stronger than ever this weekend.

I have two new candles I am really excited about.

Artist Space
This candle is for anyone wanting to connect with the artist inside themselves as well as create a physical space in their lives to connect with the creative energy of the universe. I often recommend my clients to burn this candle and envision what their perfect studio might look like. Or the wonderful office they want to create, or even what the corner painting studio might look like. Once we can see the space I then ask them to turn their attention towards what this space might look like inside themselves. Can they see themselves connecting with their creative spirit to work on a weekly, monthly or daily basis? This candle also helps to connect the artist with spirit who will guide them to their inner genius.



Self Courage
This candle is for the times in our lives when we need courage and guidance to face our fears and work through them. This candle was also created to assist with working through our self esteem issues so that we can see ourselves as the wonderful and lovely people we truly are. Sometimes we just need a little courage to face our shadow sides and bring light back into our energy fields. This is a very powerful candle that is a lovely orange color to remind us how bright and alive we all are.


I have also come up with two new powerful recipes for abudance and career oriented issues. I have not yet finished these candles so I will post more info about them soon.

Have Faith

"Have Faith" has come up in many ways recently. A few weeks ago I changed the message on my cell phone to " Have Faith" because I needed to remind myself that most of the time I have no idea what the universe is doing on my behalf in the background of my life.

At the time I changed the message this statement did not seem that big of a deal. However, since then I have had a few interesting things happen. I keep seeing a certain number formation everywhere I look.
I asked a friend what this number formation might mean and she said that it is the universe telling me to have faith, that I am on the right path.

Then today, while talking with another friend at lunch, I told her about my new statement in life. She was blown away because she had recently had a dream where an old lady was telling her to have faith. She took this as a great lesson for not only her but also as another example for me to have faith.

So I now know, I must have faith and learn to fill my life up with positive experiences because the universe is taking care of it's part.

Candles

I can finally post some pictures of my candles!

Cold Moon

Last night was a full moon. This full moon is called the Cold Moon and it corresponds to the Rowan Moon of Celtic traditions. It was an introspection moon and a great moon to work on new growth intentions.

To honor this full moon and the fact that we saw the sun for the first time in 28 days, we had a bonfire in our new fire pit that is located in our side yard. This was our first get together in our new house and it was special! I did take a moment to teach our friends about the cold moon and we took a few moments to think about what we want to create this year and what our hearts desires are. I also brought out a couple of my New Year's Fortune candles, which are a deep red, and we lined them up around the fire.

As the moon came over the bamboo, I went into our herb garden and collected leeks, rosemary, thyme and bay leaves for our guest to take home. We drank red wine and honored the moon, the fire and all the new growth that we can see in the garden.

Spring is just around the corner!

Broadcast What You Love and You'll Attract Your Heart's Desire

This morning as I was taking a few minutes to settle my thoughts and review my intentions for the day; I picked up one of my special books I keep next to my bed. It was the new " Trust Your Vibes at Work" by Sonia Choquette. I randomly picked a chapter and the quote at the opening is what my theme is for the day. It also nicely connects with my theme for the year-

EMILY LOVES 2006.

This quote got me thinking. What is it that I love? What is it that I want to broadcast to the world? I know sometimes these questions are very easy to answer, most of the time I feel life I am a great positive addition to this world. I love to look at the brighter side of life, of changes and mostly importantly I love challenges and I think they are great opportunities for growth.

But I must at admit there are days, like today, when trying to answer the question of what do I love, is the hardest thing in the world to do. I just don't know. Yes, it is true. I do have bad days, tricky days, grumpy days and just plain sucky days. I am human.

However, one nice thing that is nice is it never takes very long for me to snap out of this negative pattern. So I made a list of 10 things that I love right now. I figured it could not hurt the situation and I love taking action that will help me lift myself out of the funk I am in.

So here is my list:

1. I love making intentional products that help people. I love sharing my passion for herbs, oils, aroma therapy and flower essences. I love hearing stories from the people I have helped. I love getting people excited about co-creating a life they love.

2. I love hardwood floors. We just moved into a house last week that has hard wood floors. I love how easy they are to clean and how beautiful the look.

3. I love old growth forests and the Washington rain Forest. I love spending time among the trees, I love learning from them. I love the energy they are willing to share if only we could sit and be still for a few hours.

4. I love friends that are supportive and positive. I love community. I love doing circle work and sharing with positive and supportive people. I love how I feel when we are all present and helping each other.

5. I love my acceptance and love for my intuitive gifts and lifestyle. I have met so many people over my lifetime that are so out of touch with their natural gifts or who think they are wrong for having them. I love that I never felt bad about these gifts and I always try to share that acceptance with people so that they can lead a truly divine life.

6. I love my parents for always supporting my intuitive gifts and interests.

7. I love reading and Writing. They are two things I can not live without. I always find time everyday to read and write.

8. I love the internet and being able to connect with people all over the world who share my passions and interests. I love all the people I have met online.

9. I love living near a body of water. I love taking my dog there to go swimming. I love the sounds of the ocean, the sound and the mists of a lake.

10. I love the free business advisor I have started to work with who is really nice and loves my products.

Wow!

After making this list I feel so grounded, energized and excited. I feel like the universe is abundant and I am ready to receive.

I encourage everyone to make a list of things they love and either send it to me or post it in the comments page. It always is fun to read what other people love!
