In the midst of all the rain, the extent of the difficulty here at this house is the basement flooding. Quite fortunate indeed. As Lulu and I sweep the water towards the sump pump I’ve been sprinkling essential oils. Last flood lavender, this one peppermint and frankincense. It smells so good and really raises the energy…Going with the flow the best we know.
2012 What is important here
Having had a strong connection to Mexico, the Spanish language and anything Mayan since I started speaking Spanish as a teen, I write this from what I have come to find is the Truth regarding the Mayan Calender and very importantly 2012. Basically, our Solar System has been moving in and out of a photon belt of high frequency since it’s inception. 2012 marks the time when we will be residing in this belt, just about entirely. Most of us can relate to how strong the shadow has been and how accelerated our lessons and earth situations seem to be as we get closer and closer to being in a higher frequency. Whatever lessons we are being influenced by, are demanding to be dealt with. How and what and why are very specific to each incarnate, and the clearer one is the greater amount of energy is available. Resistance is shadow. Personal responsibility, the ability to respond without blame to any situation, not react, but ACT from a connected centered place is your key. As one intense and devastating planetary event after another takes place it is vital to stay in a higher ground both physically and spiritually.
A Beautiful Locust Tree
I must honor this tree somewhere, somehow today. It is sweltering hot, and a crew of men are cutting down a magnificent tree which has been a great source of shade, beauty and nourishment in a neighboring yard. I have stared at it with it’s irregular, craggy, and Japanese like lines for a year now in awe really. In the spring it had fragrant flowers that would blow all over the yard and blanket my garden. The birds have gathered in it in mass. Today it’s changing form. I don’t know why they are doing it, perhaps it’s become a nuisance to them, because it wasn’t dead. It was very much alive and they are fighting to take it down. I am attached to it and struggling to let it go. Maybe they will give up, and the tree will win win it’s fight for living. Wow what a huge thing it is and whatever lesson it is teaching me is not yet totally revealed, The birds will have to help me. I guess they will just adjust themselves and forget.

a purrfect breakfast
The Breakfast:
Spelt cake, with honey, flax, & baked apples with cinnamon
The Recipe (from Hildegard of Bingen):
Spelt Cake: Mix together 1 C Stone ground Spelt Flour, 1 C water or milk or mixture ( i use 1/2 and 1/2), 1 tsp non aluminum baking powder, 3 T oil ( i use grapeseed but will use olive oil in a pinch) & 1 egg. Hildegard’s recipe adds a T of sugar but i prefer to alleviate it and get the sweetness from the honey and apples. Let the mixture stand for a few.
Chop apples (1 or more per person), coat with cinnamon, put in baking dish with a little butter on top, and bake at about 350 for 1/2 hour or so. Try to use all organic ingredients and leave skin on the apples.
Timing wise; I prepare the apples first and get them in the oven then the spelt mixture and let it stand.
Prepare spelt cakes as you would a pancake. Smother with honey and ground flax seeds (grind in coffee grinder and keep in a mason jar) and top with the apples.
Excellent and Ideal nutritionally!
Have it with a cup of Organo Gold black coffee with heated and frothed milk and a dash of sugar. YUM!!!! If you have never tried it and love coffee, you really must. I feel the difference when I run out.

face scrub & body scrub
Face Scrub: Mix together finely ground oats, honey, and coconut oil. Start with small amounts of each and get to the consistency you want. You decide how much of each. Equal parts may work fine. Gently work into your skin, let it set a few moments, then with a soft wash cloth, cotton pad, or simply hands and warm water remove. May not even have to put anything else on.
Body Scrub: Take one part sugar to 2 parts olive oil. Since I use raw sugar I must grind it in a coffee grinder to make it more powdery or else it’s too coarse. I can use a T olive oil and a half T sugar to cover my body. I often put drops of lavender oil. Use whatever oils you fancy or need at the time, then shower and voile you are ready to go with a slight protection on your skin!
Invisible Zinc
This is the best sunscreen, which is a barrier not a skin absorbed chemical. It uses zinc oxide, and is called Invisible Zinc, You can order it on line, direct from Australia, or I live in the New York area and there is one pharmacy which sells it. To the health of your skin! The tinted moisturizer is fab!

a time to chant
Ammachi has asked that we all chant OM NAMAH SHIVAYA as often as possible, and to visualize a radiant blue light around the nuclear reactors in Japan. If you feel the pressure of your own difficult situation this mantra is a good way to get through the inertia and shadow.
