Dear Ones!  I come to speak to you about planting for some of you are getting ready to plant in green houses or even out doors.  You can give your herbs and garden plants a new kick start by planting different herbs with different plants. For example, if you plant Basil with Tomatoes, you will repel insects that plague tomatoes.  This is a Mother Nature natural remedy for pests!  This works with potted plants as well as ground planted veggies.  If you plant chives around apple trees, it will...

  I have often wondered about the term “lost souls” and what that means exactly.  While sitting in meditation, I asked about lost souls and was told that the world is usually in balance.  Some souls find their way quickly between this world and the next.  Others, seem to get distracted, and do not follow the path to the next world.  These are the lost souls.  A soul needs to be ready to move on.  Sometimes, they are distracted by those that are left behind.  Other times, they get distracted...

As I was contemplating my life, and how it was working for me, and what still had the power to irritate me, I began to get little messages about anger.  The messages included things like “anger kills” and “anger destroys” and “anger causes separation”.  All of those thoughts are true.  I just was not sure what to do with them. Then, I received an email from an old friend.   It was about changing how we look at things, and it was entitled, “This is a new month.  Now is a good time to make... Read Full Story

Many of you say prayers everyday.  You ask for this and for that.  You ask that someone change what they dislike to something that you like.  You ask to be right!  In the greatest designs, the likes and dislikes are choices that you are able to make that will help your Spirit move in a certain path.  Indeed, you follow a blue print laid out long, long before your birth.  You have agreed to step forward on the path. Your likes and dislikes make you unique, the way different paint colours on... Read Full Story

I was deep into my space and not really noticing anything, when I heard what sounded like digging.  I then heard humming.  As I looked around, I saw a Skunk trudge through the snow, stop and dig, and then trudge some more.  Skunk said: New opportunities are here, and if I sleep through them, then me and my kind will miss out. Snow is simply water in a different format.  I like the snow, and to walk out in it is to remind myself that I need not follow what others of my kind do. When the... Read Full Story

I was doing some reading in my studies on Buddhism, and I found this interesting quote on emptiness.  Since it resonated for me, I thought it might resonate for some of you, as well. Many blessings, Judy Emptiness is a mode of perception, a way of looking at experience. It adds nothing to, and takes nothing away from, the raw data of physical and mental events. You look at events in the mind and the senses with no thought of whether there's anything lying behind them. This mode is called... Read Full Story

I kept hearing, “Look out the window.”  At first it was a plea and then it became demanding.  I finally went to the kitchen window and looked out.  I saw the most beautiful pair of mourning doves sitting on the branch of one of our spruce trees. They both oo’oo’d, and said that they had something to share with me about change.  Here is what they said: Whatever the pattern has been, such as Doves flying south for the winter, there comes a time to break the pattern. Patterns are often genetic... Read Full Story

Sometimes it seems like life doesn’t treat us very well.  And, we all have stories where it seems like everything was against us, and yet we pulled ourselves up by the socks and we kept going. I do some speaking from time to time, and I am always looking for good stories to tell.  One of my friends sent me this story.  It is so good, I thought that I would share it with you.  Blessings, Judy Get Up Bringing a giraffe into the world is a tall order. A baby giraffe falls 10 feet from its mother... Read Full Story

One of the defenders or spirits of the the direction – South – is Serpent.  Serpent may be represented by any of the animals that are snakes, lizards, dragons, sea serpents, or what we might call “the cold ones”.  They often come to me in meditation and in dreams, and usually they bring some wisdom that is timely, and that allows me to see a situation more clearly. Boa came into my space, sliding gracefully across the floor, and inclined its head as it said, “Wolfwalker, I greet thee.  I come... Read Full Story

Quickly and silently, I was transported to a place of heat and dust.  I glanced around.  I was in a desert like place.  I wondered who had called me to this place.  I heard a noise – like galloping of small horses. I looked around and saw the Gazelle.  She called out as she ran past, “I called you here to show you what I know about speed.  I hear humans talk about speed as a state of elation.  Speed is a tool.  For all animals, the faster you move, the easier it is to avoid being someone...
