The Cree call this phenomenon (the Aurora Borealis) the “Dance of the Spirits.” In the Middle Ages the auroras have been called a sign from God.
Well, I got my sign from God while I was up in Alaska a few weeks ago. This was a first for me to shoot this phenomenon. I have seen them so much growing up that at some point is lost it’s luster in my mind. Now that I am more awake and alive inside, I am able to see the beauty in the greatest place in the world to be raised:) I got to share this ‘first’, taking pictures of this “dance of the spirits” with Jake and my sister. The kids got to see them another night and I am sure it will seem like a dream one day to them:) All you can do is stare in awe and wonder how the heck something so beautiful can be before your eyes. It doesn’t get old!
“One of the great things is that we do not have to know, is the how. All we need is to be willing. The Universal Intelligence of your subconscious mind will figure out the hows. Every thought you are thinking and the words you are declaring at this moment are creating your future.” Louise L Hay
Are you the type person that wakes up on a rainy day and thinks that it’s going to be a crummy day? At one point in your life you decided that rain wasn’t acceptable weather. Probably because there are more of us out there that think this instead of seeing the beauty in the day. What is you dressed for the day. What is you didn’t curl your hair so you wouldn’t get mad if it got wet. What if you thanked God for the rain that will make everything around you green and alive. What is everyday was paradise with no rain….I think that phrase goes together like Sardines and peanut butter. You see if we got all our wishes, and it didn’t rain for a long time, imagine all the fear that comes with that. Drought sets in and a little more panic and frustration fill the air everyday that it doesn’t rain. Then it finally pours and we are thankful and relieved. Why don’t we live this way in the Northwest. Yes, it rains all the time. Do we have to put all the energy out on FB and in your words that it is a lousy day? “If it is really our belief that rainy days are lousy days, then we will always greet rain with a sinking heart. We will fight the day rather than flow with what is happening in the moment.”
So whether it is raining and wet or cold and amazing….we have to see the beauty in our day if we want to live a beautiful life. We have to find joy and happiness if we want to live a happy and joyous life. Just know that if you are putting frustrated, stressed out thoughts into the universe, then you will continue to attract a frustrating, stressed out life.
I have incredible sight that allows me to see such an incredible anomaly in nature.
I have an incredible mind that allows me to think intelligent thoughts.
I have a beautiful body that carries me through this amazing life.
I have a huge heart that allows me to feel all the love around me to fill my glowing spirit.
Today I am doing a little “spirit dance” inside because I am alive.
Today isn’t just an ordinary day…it’s another phenomenal day that I get to spend with my family.
I am filled with gratitude today and I am blessed to be able to have the words to share it will all you that are reading this!
Make it a great day filled with gratitude and maybe even Heavenly rain;)
