Thunder Birds & Birthday Shenangans

Every year for last decade I spent my birthdays
not in the spirit of receiving but in the spirit of giving.

This year things felt different.

I've been experiencing some GREAT energetic shifts.
Some call it Cosmic, some call it Ascension, some call it Light Language
coming from the sun flares;
whatever you want to call it, the energy has left me feeling
tired, depleted and exhausted!

It is difficult to give from a place of depletion.

I have to walk the talk.
This means what I teach I must embody.
This birthday was not a time of giving,
but a time of receiving.

My day began with an orchestra of Thunder Birds greeting
me for the day! One of the most incredible thunderstorms
ever experienced. I knew the day would be great.
You see it rains every day on my birthday.
I am blessed most often by the Thunder Birds.
I have a great affinity to them as my spirit name is
Blue Thunder Bird Woman.

My only wish was to sit on the patio at Pine Ridge Hollow
and enjoy a delicious meal.
When we got there, the restaurant was closed.
The only thing on the menu was beet chips and
desert...let's be honest I only went for the desert!

And so, there we sat, my husband and I, alone...no one
else in sight.
We had the whole patio to ourselves. The sky opened,
the sun pierced through the clouds and we enjoyed our
delicious food. No sooner the meal in our bellies, the skies
closed up and the rain began.

The ride home was hair raising.
Four times we had to pull over.
Torrential rains like the monsoons swept us up
in the prairies.
Home safe, we prepared egg salad sandwiches for supper.

Not exactly how I planned the day,
but always pleasantly surprised by the beauty
of the revealing...as it should be.
