Dear Friends,
We had a wonderful Equinox Celebration with Georgette Coffey and Rich Maestas. We called in the 7 directions, North, South, East, West, Above, Below and Within as part of the Medicine Wheel Ceremony.
We drummed together in beautiful rhythm and yet each created our own song of  life and healing. We talked about how important being our-self is, and how challenging it is to let go of the masks we wear.  We created sweet, sacred meaningful, touchstones that represent who we are and who we wish to be. We walked the labyrinth with our touchstones and received Divine messages.
The energy was joyful, healing, sacred and blessed.
Please view the photos on the left side of this newsletter.
Georgette shared a writing called, “LISTEN, Please Hear What I’m Not Saying.” Part of it read….
“Don’t be fooled by me. don’t be fooled by the mask I wear. For I wear a mask…I wear a thousand masks… masks that I’m afraid to take off and none of them are me…..”
After wearing the transformer masks it was an interesting feeling to take them off.  One person said he/she felt more comfortable behind the mask.
Do you feel that way?
When you are out and about meeting people daily, what face/mask do you wear? Can you be authentic with your friends, family, co-workers, strangers or do you feel the need to please people, make them like you, and/or put up a front saying ‘everything is OK.’
Time to take the masks off and reveal who you really are.
• You are created in the image and likeness of God.
• You have the Divine within you.
• You have the potential to BE who God has created you to be.
• No one has to approve of you, God already has!

The image I got when I was creating my touchstone was one of an artichoke. I felt like I was continually stripping away the jagged edges because who I really am is the HEART on the inside. We are all HEART/LOVE on the inside.
Go out and BE YOU today. Live your life with personal freedom.  What brings you happiness and joy?
Be true to yourself. You are a unique, & one of a kind creation.
Know that for yourself and everyone.
There is much more to every human being on earth then meets the eye. Dig deeper and get to know people on an authentic level. There is that HEART of LOVE in everyone no matter the appearance/ mask/or face they wear in the world.  See the love and it will appear.
Blessings Always,

Autumn is a second Spring
when every leaf  is a flower.

What is an Equinox?
“The earliest humans spent more time outside that we do. They used the sky as both a clock and a calendar.  They could easily see the sun’s path across the sky, the length of daylight and the location of the sunrise and sunset all shift in a  regular way throughout the year. Our ancestors built the first observatories to track the sun’s progress. One example is a Machu Picchu in Peru, where the Intihuatana Stone has been shown to be a precise indicator of the date of the two equinoxes (Spring and Fall) and other significant celestial periods. “Intihuatana,” literally means
“for tying the sun.”
Intihuatana Stone

Equinox  means “equal.” At this time earth’s two hemispheres are receiving the sun’s rays about equally. Night and day are approximately equal in length.
