The first wild Alberta sage for 2024. Gratitude given for nature's bounty and healing.

Watch the movie Florian's Knights. A documentary about first responders and how riding a motorcycle helps PTSD. (which both of us have and I refuse to call it a disorder.) Yes, I have always said riding is therapeutic. Teresa Milton Wilson

Mother's Day you say, when I never gave birth to any children? My heart is warmed by those of you who post to your loving mom today and then my heart is saddened by those, like me, who post to your mother who no longer walks earth.
Today, at the Pow wow in Taber, Alberta, I helped a grieving mom and also dad connect with their son who died traumatically at age 5. Get that on ya. Me cry, yes. Mom weeping, yes. Dad on the brink of jumping up and running from panic because he, the dad, couldn't save him, most certainly. But a boy they named Gabriel... He was ecstatic that finally, he could speak to his foster parents who loved him like their own.
Another mother's day you say? Ya.... One of my best!

I wasn't instantaneously "free." It's a work of many small releases in a progress that is ongoing until, I imagine, I transition. BUT... I'm a hell of a lot free-er now than I was yesterday and definitely more than when I was young. Tell me your story.....

When I chose to let go of what is insulting to my Soul,
it is not because I loved less,
but because I finally learned
to love myself more...
I am Free!.........................................

I know it's been awhile since i posted anything, but would you be so kind as to leave me a review on Google? It would mean so much to me! Now that things have settled down, I'm going to be expanding my schedule, so stay tuned!

So easy to just toss a statement like this at a person, feel powerful with our egos fed and just move away from whomever you spoke it to, isn't it?
I understand how hard it is sometimes to turn away from something / someone, feeling like you're abandoning ... Maybe discarding.... Perhaps failing?
I would never say this to anyone. Instead, listen and sympathize. Instead, encourage and or empower someone to take the steps they need to move forward. Instead, praise them for even thinking of doing so and then be there for them as they do.
I want you do what is healthy for you, period.
If envisioning kicking cat litter over top of a problem / person helps you, then you do it. It's a good tool, but please never throw a statement like this to someone struggling... Okay?
We got a promise on that?

Rusty and I just watched the 1979 movie The Black Stallion, which was based on a children's book set in 1946. (just after the 2nd World War.) For those not familiar with it, a young boy is shipwrecked with a magnificent black stallion. They get rescued and he rides this same horse in a challenge race and of course wins. He is about 12. His mother lets him. Everyone is amazed and it's lovely story.
We had a conversation after. Both Rusty and I had movies such as these as part of our upbringing and although we recognized that they were fiction, these movies, books and tv shows encouraged us to do and experience things out of our comfort zone. We were encouraged to have confidence, courage and hootzpa.
I'm interested in people younger than old, crotchety me. Do your children even watch movies like this? Are they inspired as we were? Can they watch this same movie and be transformed to a place of hope where anything is doable?
Opinions and comments please.....

Well, here's one for the books: As anyone knows (who has had a reading with me,) I "feel" how your loved one has died. I've been shot several times, been run over by and dump truck toe to head and pushed backwards down a flight of stairs. TODAY, I was hit by an enormous gray boulder dropping on my head! So very sad for the young man's mother to learn this is how her son died. My honor to speak to the young man. Spirit.... Grateful I don't feel the pain. (Nor did he.)

I read a friend's post tonight and an old lesson was refreshed:
We are the equal and sum parts of the 5 people we spend the most time with. So, if a person wants to be better, then look at who you hang with and as sad and heartless as it may seem... Find new friends. 🎯
Nope. You don't have to abandon your old friends. Just spend less time with them, loving them as you always have.
Want to be more spiritual? Join a church or visit Lily Dale and take a class. Meet new, like minded people.
Want to live in gratitude? Then find people who seem to have it all in hand. Follow them on FB and maybe sit with them at lunch, at that meeting you have to go to.
Want to be more fit? Then have that smoothie after your workout and chat with the others.
It's your personal journey. Do with it what you see fit. Be kind in your progress, but you have the right to whatever path you choose. ..just a hint / suggestion.

Ah... Monday of a long weekend. Rusty had some x-Rays taken of his poor, worn out joints. I sold my bike last spring because it hurt too much for me to drive my own and I honestly don't know how much longer Rusty will be able to pilot his Road King. It's so much of who he is, I really don't mind if it just sits all summer.
We toured through Value Village 'cause we had an hour to spare. Still tired from our vendor event on Saturday, but we're both happy with our "take" and reception in .
We've got a ten by ten tent space this coming Saturday afternoon booked in Galt Gardens, downtown Lethbridge, so stop by and say hello if you're uptown shopping.
Not much else going on, but I'm sure the week will fly by!
Hugs to you all!

I"D LIKE TO ... Celebrate what's left of my country this weekend, BUT WHAT DO I LABEL THE HOLIDAY? It's no longer politically correct to label July 1st as "Canada Day" and the last time I posted such, I got blasted by a couple of people to the point I had to block one here.
Here's my positive points:
#1 We are still pretty much a free country. I can still choose where and how I live. ( In relation to how much I earn, but I never expected a free ride.)
#2 We have many "for granted's" that other countries don't have such as (for me anyways) enough food, good shelter, fun, friends and family I can still visit with at my will.
#3 In most cases, the freedom to express my personal opinions. (This one is getting thin.) And I'm allowed to do what I love to help humanity which is Mediumship.
#4 Beautiful scenery. Amazing mountains, coasts and views.
#5 Great cities that I can visit and then come home to my small town. I still have that gift of mobility in my own country,
#4 Enough people around me who are bright, happy and willing to give a hand.
#5 A heritage (7th generation Canadian) that I am proud of. One that contains not much brutality, discrimination or hatred by my ancestors that I know of, although there must have been some. Sure... My grandfather was an alcoholic, mean tramp, but that's not carried by me nor my generation.
#6 Perhaps this isn't a GREAT country, but it is ours and still a whole lot better than so many.
So happy whatever this weekend is for you. Celebrate what we have please instead of condemning everybody and everything for what went before and what you cannot have. Don't burn a flag. Really, it means nothing. Burn your bra or your un**es that bind.
It is what is in our hearts that's important, so opinions and comments are welcome and appreciated.

Just an FYI: If you're planning on visiting the Market in the ice arena Canada Day, please be aware that the vendors likely won't be able to access credit card / debit processing inside the arena. So, be prepared to send e-transfers or better yet, use cash! Thanks from Rusty's Rocks & Crystals.

Just a week until our first market of our season. Visit us in the ice arena in Raymond, AB, July 1st- CANADA DAY! Rocks, crystals, smudging supplies. Hand wrapped crystal healing jewellery and protection bracelets. I'll also have copies of my mystery romance novels and my instruction manual: How To Manifest Your Perfect Mate.
