Greetings!
What a fabulous day to be alive! I believe that is what the birds are saying - roughly translated of course. This morning I am sitting in Don's usual spot behind our desk in our home office next to the windows that give great view to our plush green stretch of lawn (Don works hard on that) and the quiet neighborhood that cuddles our home in it's warm embrace. If I close my right eye and tilt my head just so, all I can see is grass, trees, flowering bushes and the occasional bird that flies in for breakfast at our bird feeder. When I open my eye and hold my head upright, I see what is a familiar site in America, the landscape of a subdivision filled with houses that appear the same on the outside, however hold very different lives and truths on the inside. Though it may sound like I am just rambling, what I am truly recognizing is that all of this seems to be very reflective of life and creating. Mary often says that if 10 people or 100 people witness the same thing all of them would have a slightly or extremely different experience based on how they show up for it and how they choose to create their lives. Some of us walk through most of life with one eye closed and head tilted and others with head upright and both eyes wide open - and every possible and "impossible" combination between. What angle are you "looking at life" through? Is it consistent or does it constantly change? Is your current view offering you what you desire? Perception is a powerful tool offering us numerous possibilities for our "view" resulting in our own unique individual creations. I believe I am going to look for opportunities to tweek my perception to assure it is in alignment with manifesting my desires. How about you?
So Many Hugs, Jacque and Don

The Inner Vortex Membership Opportunity
|
Last month we announced the new idea of an annual membership with The Inner Vortex. We are pleased to say that we received very positive feedback and some amazing people are signing up to enjoy this opportunity to move through the year ahead together with Mary in this way.
One of the aspects of the membership that I am most excited about is the Monthly Conference calls with Mary. Talk about a "Master Mind Group"! In each of these calls, riding on the synergy of the group, Mary will offer their precise guidance and extraordinary wisdom to catalyze the visions, dreams and desires of those participating, launching us into astonishing manifestation. With each call, one building on the next, they will take us deeper into the inner workings of ourselves to explore and activate our most powerful desires.
As I am typing, Mary is nudging me and saying that they will also be offering "practices" for each of us to implement in our lives between each call that will enrich and empower our experience of becoming directed, masterful creators.
Don and I were also very thrilled when the Nebula Stone Vortex Pendants arrived. They are truly beautiful! Each with it's own unique swirlings offers a serene and delightful feeling as we wear them against our skin. I was particularly excited to discover these pendants because I asked to find an item that would truly represent The Inner Vortex which is in essence, Mary, Don and me. The first item I ran across in my search was an image of this pendent and when I saw it everything in me responded with a rushing energy. Why, you might ask? To answer, I need to give you a little background story. Through some conversations with Mary, Don learned that his "original source" is of the Earth and I learned that mine is of Star Dust. (This is a long story that we will go into at another time or you can read our book when it is published.) This pendent is made of stone which is found in the earth, has been named the Nebula Stone - a Nebula being the space in the Galaxy where stars are born of star dust and it has been carved into a spiral vortex - thus representing The Inner Vortex. Isn't that a blast! Ask and it is given!
I am also looking forward to sitting with Mary daily allowing them to offer their inspirational words of divine wisdom that will dive out of the computer screen and directly into the hearts and souls of the readers as they find them every morning. Anybody up for breakfast with Mary??

Exploring with Mary
|
|
The Meaning of Life... Intriguing isn't it. Or is it? What is the meaning of life? Well we would ask, what isn't the meaning of life? There is not one thing in known existence that you could offer attention to that is not the meaning of life. Don't you see... It is ALL the meaning of life for it is ALL life. Every bit of it. Nothing spared. Not a moment or experience left out. Yes, we hear you... you are asking "But, what is the meaning of my life?" And we ask you..."What matters to you, really matters to you?" Not the stuff that you may think matters like, if somebody let you down or if there is something that "seems" unfair to you or your need to spend countless hours and thoughts making sure that other people think well of you. We are asking, "What REALLY matters to you?" Go ahead, dare to go inside of yourself, look around what stirs with great importance from the center of you? Is it that it matters to you to matter? Is it that it matters to you to thrive and expand and explore and discover all that is possible? Is it that it matters to you to truly love in it's truest sense and to be loved in return? Is it that it matters to you to serve others from immeasurable compassion? Is it to live your life in a manner that brings you great fulfillment and joy and you offer that as your gift to the world? Shall we go on, and on and on... We could offer endless possibilities of what may matter to you and yet we believe that most of you would indeed stop reading at some point : ) In the end the "trick" to knowing what is the meaning of your life - the purpose of your life - is to be willing to look inside instead of outside of you to find what matters to you, what stimulates you, what offers you passion. That is the place to begin. And then the next step is to offer yourself permission to open that space completely to you and live from there. As you begin moving your life, making your choices and decisions from this space, you will begin to effortlessly receive the results. If you are currently attempting to find what matters to you, what makes you passionate "outside in" and are confused as to how to go inside to find this true recognition of self try to align yourself with this example:
What do you feel passionate about? Music
Why? Because it is beautiful
What makes it beautiful? Every note, every combination of notes, it moves something in me. It makes me feel good.
Why does it feel good? Because it reminds me that I am alive and that my life is like a combination of notes and that I can be transcended through time and space when I close my eyes and soak the music into my soul. It sets me free from those things that I allow myself to get bogged down by in life and to instead feel gratitude for all of the rich combinations of "notes" in my life. Or just to feel at peace with them for a time.
So then, what matters to you then is to be truly alive and free and to live from your soul in gratitude and peace? YES!
Good then...This is what gives meaning to your life. And living from these spaces in you will provide you with a very meaningful life.
So, if you are seeking, we invite you to have this conversation with yourself. Consider something on the outside of you that inspires you or that you find immensely or even just a little bit enjoyable and explore "why". Go deeper and deeper with your inquiry of yourself until you hit the "sweet spot". In your exploration you will meet yourself in new and rich ways and learn what really matters to you. As you put your focus on this understanding of yourself and open yourself to a flow of ideas and possibilities of how you can exchange yourself with the world from this passion, this valuable place of self, you will experience the meaning of your life and the meaning of life.
Toodles, Mary
