Welcome to “Wild Wanderings”

By Gay Barefield Sep 2 2

Walking on the Earth

I’m so glad you are here!

This will be a gathering place for diverse thoughts, wanderings, and an extension of my long-standing Spirit Moon Notes series, which will be included here. Comments are always welcome and appreciated, so share your thoughts.

Let’s talk Moon Energy:

September is the perfect time for change, with two eclipses this month, change is what you can expect.

Eclipses signal growth, prompting the letting go of stagnant stories, perceptions, and beliefs, and allowing new ways of seeing the world and yourself to emerge.

Our Full Blood Moon Lunar eclipse is arriving in the sign of Pisces on the 7th. Endings will happen to clear your path for higher and more profound truths to enter. (it’s all about growth!)

Your beliefs may come into question as a greater sense of “more to know” knocks at your door. Trust your insights and intuition and keep an open mind. Yes, there is more to learn!

We, as the collective, are moving forward, opening our eyes to new and sometimes emotional things, but still changing as we go.

My favorite quote from my astrologer Lisa Salvatore,

“We can no longer keep pouring into cups that never pour back!”

As I have said before in SMN, we are entering a transitional time in our world, and we are all major players in those changes. It is time for you to stop spending your energy on people and things that no longer fill you up.

One thing that fills my cup and grounds me is nature, being outside, seeing deer run through my pastures, watching my horses and donkey play, or sitting on my porch in the mornings with a cup of coffee, when the world is silent and still.

Nature is always authentic, giving you the clues and wisdom you may need at that moment in your life. Step outside and enjoy her wisdom.

******************

As I was writing this morning, a bit of wisdom from a “good news story” I was listening to came to mind: “Small minds hate dreams.” This story was referring to a young man born without a left hand, and his grandfather had shared that bit of wisdom with him whenever he became discouraged about his own dreams. Today, he is helping others with disabilities find their dreams through building prosthetics with 3D printers.

Dream big, don’t stop, and never give up! I think that right now, with so much going on in the world, you can almost feel mentally beaten down, which means you may have to work a little harder to keep that dream alive, but it will be worth it!

**********************

I have been recovering from a knee injury, and I was giving thanks to Creator for my progress and the fact that things were falling into place, when this bit of wisdom was whispered to me. “When you take care of yourself, the Universe takes care of you!” Such a powerful and true statement, one that I hope will help you along your journey.

***********************

Books I have read: Here One Moment by Liane Moriarty. A little slow to start, but once you do, it has a surprise ending.

I’m reading: “The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store” by James McBride.

***********************

Lastly, I will leave you with some wisdom about change:

“The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.” ~ Socrates
