Hillarious!!!!

It's amazing how people can be in your life multiple times before you actually know who they are. Does that sound weird or what? Well this thought occurred to me today while I was at work. I was chatting with a new girl named Megan (who is AWESOME by the way) and we were talking about where we lived here in Salt Lake. She lives like 6 blocks from where I will be moving and asked me which ward I would be attending. I told her and she got so excited because that was her ward. I paused for a moment and wondered if I had ever met her before. She didn't look familiar to me, but I have done some things with her ward on occasion. We finally put two and two together and realized that we had gone on a snowshoeing yurt adventure together. Both of us were sure that we had never seen each other before working together, but I guess we were wrong. Upon further investigation I found her in my pictures from the trip. How crazy is that?! Stop and think about it....how many times have we seen our friends before they were called friends? What a small world :)

The not so common cure

Let me tell you....I HATE allergies! I have been trying all types of allergy medicines, and none have worked thus far.....SO, I thought about natural healing with crystal energy. Here are a couple of crystals that help to alleviate allergy irritation. Let's give it a try!

Lepidolite

 

Apophyllite

I miss you!

All emotions are valid. Even though we may not understand them when others are feeling them, our time will come. We don't need to judge others rashly, but try to be understanding. 

Here's a little inspiration from Jason Mraz:

If it's a broken pot replace it, if it's a broken arm then brace it, if it's a broken heart then face it....and hold your own, know your name, and go your own way....and everything will be fine :)

To YOU from ME

I've been thinking about eventually going back to school to get my masters in counseling/public administration. Even though I have a degree in physical education, I really don't feel like I will be using it to form a lifelong career. I feel drawn to a more one on one field where I can connect with young people on a more personal level and help them work out their emotional hardships. I seem to have a lot of experiences where people open up to me and we talk about very real, important issues that go on in their own lives, and I LOVE it! I love when people can open up and share their feelings and emotions without letting pride get in the way. What better healing of the wounded heart/soul than expressing that hurt and letting it go! 

I want to be able to do this as a profession. I want to help people find that joy and happiness that they are looking for in life within themselves. I want to help them let go of the painful experiences they hold inside. I want to help them truly know their self worth and understand how very special and important each one of them are to this life as a whole. I want them to know that life is worth living! 

I had a special experience yesterday with one of the students I associate with at work. He opened up to me and shared what was going on in his life. How his particular life experiences have changed him, for the good and the bad. His dreams and aspirations in life, and his feelings of defeat. Young people especially need a solid support system. Someone they can trust and communicate with. Someone to believe in them.

I want to help them find that :)

Aura Colors

Blue
Blue is a colour that represents peace and tranquil calmness. Individuals exerting a blue aura are able to make others around them feel calm and safe. In that sense the colour blue is also a healing colour. It has the power to bring peace to a situation overrun with conflict.

Red
To see the colour red around the entire aura is rare. Often patches or small areas in the entire aura might consist of red elements. However it is more common to see a maroon or pink aura around a person rather than pure red. Red itself as often associated with anger or extreme attachment. However variations such as pink can have a different meaning altogether — such as representing an inner state of love or romance.

Green
Green is the colour of healing. The heart-chakra emanates a beautiful warm green light which healers often channel into their hands to perform hands-on healing. Since green also represents the environment it also has a strong relationship to healing and returning to our original natural state of being. Being in an unnatural state of mind or environment that is disharmonic will result in the lack of this colour in the aura.

Yellow
Yellow is the colour of happiness — while Orange is the colour of pleasure. The slight difference is that a Yellow aura often indicates that the person is feeling true sincere happiness and inner contentment while Orange will tend to represent emotional sources of happiness. Emotional sources of happiness can sometimes be perceived as negative (e.g. overindulgence).

Indigo or Purple
Indigo (or purple) represents advanced intelligence or spiritual aptitude. Those with an indigo aura tend to possess deep truths and insights within. Individuals who think and brainstorm a lot also tend to have large purple areas in their aura. 

I am an AUNTIE again!

Welcome to the world Katie Rae!


We LOVE you!

Crystal/Indigo Children

I believe that children are born with very special God given abilities. These are things that are very different from most of the "accepted" abilities of todays society. They have the ability to love people, animals, and nature with a pure godly love. They seem to be able to see beyond the veil and understand things way beyond our own comprehension as adults. They seem to be able to peer inside our souls with their eyes and read our very being. Children are SO COOL! It is sad to me that as they grow we try to suppress them into a social norm mold and if they don't fit we feel as a society that something is wrong with them. Many children with very special abilities are medicated to make them "normal". Why don't we ever stop to think that maybe there is something wrong with us. Maybe we shouldn't be making them fit any sort of mold, but let them teach us the way things should be. It has been said that Heavenly Father saved his very special spirits for this time and dispensation, and I believe it. They are being sent here to prepare the earth, to teach us how to make things better for when Christ comes again. They are so connected with Him and the spirit world, if we would just stop and listen, we would learn so much!

I have been thinking about this a lot since I work with children of all ages throughout the day. I watch them and listen to the things they have to teach me. They have so much creative and loving energy. They are so innocent and pure. Let's not ruin this by trying to make them OF THE WORLD!
