Here’s A Valentine Greeting

Valentines’ Day is the perfect time to call an old friend and thank your co-workers, teachers, and family members. Valentine’s are no longer just for lovers. They’re for everyone! Remember celebration is the highest form of human energy. Celebration brings vital life force to our very cells, the root of the word celebration.
The celebration of love in February began in ancient Rome when young lovers imitated the behavior of the birds that began building their nests mid February. That Mediterranean climate you know.
Later a priest named Valentine was said to have performed wedding ceremonies in secret because the Empower wanted young men to go to war, not be distracted by marriage and families.
But we have Queen Victoria to thank for the proliferation of those beautiful lacy cards that were sent in the name of romantic love.
Today Valentine cards are created for anyone and everyone. What a great idea to remember those who we care about, those we truly love admire and appreciate.
I’m sending a special joyful Valentine wish to YOU today on the day we remember to say a heartfelt “I love you”. Plus I am asking you to pay it forward. You will feel so good and others will be so glad you took a little time to remember and appreciate them with a Valentine greeting.

Midwinter Planting of Seed Thoughts

 

Midwinter Planting Seed Thoughts by Marilyn Miller.

At Midwinter, February 4, 2012, the time of returning light, choose a Seed Thought and plant it in your subconscious.

Seed thoughts are little gems to meditate on.  Contemplate a Seed Thought from list below and contemplate deeper and deeper meanings allowing their messages to be revealed.  Select one and stick to it for a week or so before choosing a new one.  Meditate on it and see how it applies to your daily life, how it improves peace of mind and well-being.  Please let me know what you discover.  I am interested.  Marilyn at OracleofOjai.com

Seed Thoughts:  I am a seed within the Infinite Mind of the Divine Mother

If peaceful men & women could remain centered all things would be in harmony.

The eternal void, the womb of all creation, is filled with infinite possibilities.

The Goddess can keep giving as there is no end to her wealth.

The path of progress is from world to world, from star to star, without end.

The Goddess walks her chosen path, allowing no criticism to disturb her peace.

Praise every soul, if you cannot, let that one pass out of your life.

The Goddess faith is between her and her Creator.

The Goddess within proceeds to a sacred goal without detour or hesitation.

There was something formless & perfect before the world was formed.

The Goddess has no material mind of her own, she works with the people.

The best leader follows the will of the people.

The Goddess travels all day without leaving home.
