At my favorite food co-op, a friend from my teenage years works as a cashier. She points to the Graze magazine that just came out featuring their delectable recipes. The subheading contains the caption ‘I went to a Garden Party’ and we both laugh as we sing the Ricky Nelson song ~ ‘to reminisce with my old friends.’
Fast-forward 50 years from when that song came out and I think about how time, when used wisely, helps us grow-up. Another stanza from that song stands out for me ~ ‘But it’s all right now. I’ve learned my lessons well. You see, you can’t please everyone, so you got to please yourself.’
True. But, to please yourself in healthy ways is to know yourself, and diving into the roots of what makes us react and behave the way we do takes courage. Our subconscious patterns from childhood, as well as the gashes we’ve accumulated as teenagers and adults, will rule our life until we make a conscious commitment to heal. This entails really looking at and feeling (with a compassionate heart) the pain we’ve been handed, and acknowledging the hurt we sowed to others as well. Weeds will always be a part of our interior garden, but the more we pull to the surface, the better chance for the flowers and fruit to bloom. Often, this also requires a radiant sun (higher power) to assist us to grow.
There are many good teachers who have given us resources to deal with our wounds and the shadow parts of our personality. Caroline Myss and Robert Ohotto are two that, I believe, really hold the tools to dig-up what we need to know. Robert, as hosted on Caroline’s website, has two outstanding new video classes that I believe will help people really understand their subconscious patterns and what to do about them. I believe that anyone who invests in this powerful work will grow strong and become a contributor to the survival of us all.

If you’re unfamiliar with archetypal and inner-child work I recommend starting with Robert’s Archetypes and the Magnetics of Relationships class accessed HERE.
Though, as you may know, I have retired my business ~ Lady of the Lake Holistic Health, I have been inspired to open up a bit of my time to help people who want insight into their journey. Waves of Light Akashic Record Readings are now available. HERE is the link to my website to learn more about this service. You can also book yourself an appointment from this page.
The reason this type of transformation is so important, and dear to my heart, is that I truly want everyone to live their life ‘to their highest good and deepest joy’ which has been the tag line of my business for decades. When we come from a place of fully loving ourselves, we radiate that nurturing love out, and the community garden flourishes. Then we personify our authentic roles that have been our destiny all along.
Everyone’s unique gifts and brightest light is needed now! We’ve reached that tipping point in our history where looking at life from a global garden of nourishing resources is essential. Mother Nature’s natural bounty will sustain us all if we come together using all our blossoming gifts to create Eden.
