I’m Seeing Red

Red and white petunias

  This is the last post for "Color Week", and today's color is Red. It was fun using all these photos that I took around my neighborhood! Red is the color of the first or root chakra. Our root chakra helps us stay connected to the Earth; staying in our bodies. It is where we feel security and stability; as well as our sense of connection to our "tribe". Other meanings for red are: Energy and action Fire and ... [Keep Reading]

In the Pink

Pink Hydrangea

Holy smokes - have I been tired this week! Yesterday I checked in with a friend who had also been wiped out this week and she sent me a Facebook post by a fellow Angel Therapy Practitioner which said: Today the Angels are asking all of us to take it easy, be very gentle with ourselves at this time and pull back on trying to do everything and get everything done. They say a huge transmission came through when Venus went direct and a lot ... [Keep Reading]

Sunny Yellow

Yellow Day Lillies

It's day three of my Color Week. These photos are from my "color walk" in the neighborhood, taking photos of particular colors. I'm feeling rather Sunny Yellow-ish today! The sun's shining and the air is crisp this morning. The chakra associated with yellow is the solar plexus. Ahh...our personal power chakra. I really feel we are in a time that we are invited to step more fully into our Authentic Selves and our personal power. I find ... [Keep Reading]

Blue Skies…

Coexist bumper sticker

...shinin' on me.   For day two of my color week, I've chosen to go with the color that speaks to me instead of the exact color of the day from the e-course assignment (see yesterday's blog post for day one). Today I'm diggin' these blues! There are so many gorgeous shades of blue. I love that I found such great blue things to photograph while walking in my neighborhood. We have two shades of blue in our chakras. We have a ... [Keep Reading]

The Start of “Color Week”

Taking Photos

Color Walk Last week was "Color Week" in the Beyond Layers e-course I'm taking. The assignment was to take photos of things that are the color of that day. I wasn't able to spend time each day on this, but on Friday I decided I'd take a "color walk" as my morning walk.  With my camera ready, I took my walk with my eyes open to different colors. It was really fun! It was also the reason a sweet elderly lady stopped and chatted with me ... [Keep Reading]

Ten Truths About Me

Photo Fun in Mexico

In Kim Klassen's "Beyond Layers: a year of art full inspiration" e-course I'm taking, she challenged us to do an exercise that would share 10 truths about us. It would be a fun way to get to know one another. So, I'm game! Here are my 10 Truths About Me: 1.  This year my husband and I will celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. (Too bad our boys are only teenagers and can't afford to throw us a big bash :-)) That's my hubby and me ... [Keep Reading]

Books Half Price!

Reading Book

Selling my inventory of spiritual books at half price! The solar eclipse energy seems to have encouraged many of us to do some clearing out recently :-) While organizing and clearing my office, I decided to sell my inventory of books (new) at half price. These would make great gifts (to yourself and others)! Lots of Doreen Virtue books on angels! I'm listing the books I have and the price. Email me at Maryellen@AngelicJourneys.com to ...

Honoring What I Need

Serenity Photo Collage

I find that sometimes I just need to go with the energy that's present. Yes, there are times when I have deadlines or my calendar dictates things, but I'm referring to the days when I have a choice in the matter. (Wait a minute...I take that back...I have to remember that we always do have a choice in the matter :-)) With the Super Moon we had this past weekend and with the way the astrological influences have been, the energy has been ...

Loving All Things Beautiful

Beauty of Nature Collage

I recently started taking Kim Klassen's "Beyond Layers" e-course. She sends weekly lessons and inspiration for things to create. However, I'm allowing myself to do it at my leisure so that I do not add more to my to-do list or any added pressure. Yet when I'm feeling the pull by Creativity, I love that I have the tools and her ideas to guide me. I recently found that photos that I take with my phone actually have a pretty nice quality. ...

Be a “Dancing Queen”!

Mamma Mia! Dancing Queen

Here at Angelic Journeys and Replenish Your Spirit Coaching, I am all about adding richness to our otherwise "ho-hum" regular lives by incorporating the magic and richness of spirituality into our everyday existence. I often think of myself as a "soccer Mom" who also dances with the Angels and communes with Mother Earth :-)  Spirituality doesn't have to be only prayers and meditation, although those are great too. But I love calling in to ... [Keep Reading]
