Late Afternoon Mists After a Downpour

The Great Mother is shifting, and we are continuing to feel Her energies in weather extremes. Amidst droughts, tornadoes, floods, thunderstorms, tsunamis, volcanoes and earthquakes, I am reminded that the Mother is pushing each of us to lift our consciousness and awareness in order to create a New Earth surrounded by peace and light. Every day as I walk around my own land, which is saturated from the rains, I remember that the Mother needs to take care of Herself just as we need to take care of ourselves...and sometimes (often these days) that means extreme weather. I trust that her extremes, while hard on us as people, are nurturing Her, and are also meant to assist us as well, even if we have a hard time seeing this. I believe that the beings being affected by these weather extremes are in agreement, even if unconsciously.

I am sending my Love and Light to the Mother, and much gratitude for the Love and Light She offers me.
