Help and Celebration from Spirit...

Blessings to you this day of possibilities!

The March sky is bright blue, with only a few clouds here and there. Spring can be inhaled in the fresh morning air - I love it - the shift from one season to another - I always strive to experience completely the shift from winter to spring - I find it truly glorious! 

Change of the season is magical...

Change...

The word change rolls easy enough from the tongue - change...  Some times change can feel good - even great, other times the thought of it engulfs us in fear.

Fred and I have been talking about remodeling the kitchen for years...  Of course remodeling requires change - and change requires decisions - and in this case consensus between two people - Fred and me.  How hard can that be?  Yeah, right...

Deep within I knew that involving the house in a TLC project (Tender Loving Care) would be of huge benefit for all concerned - including the house.  So after weeks of talking colors and processes, we finally purchased paint for the walls and cabinets. 

Of course painting the walls and cabinets required removing things and creating a somewhat organized chaos.  This said, the goal was to complete the painting in one weekend.  The completed effort of painting the walls and cabinets was so awesome (I'm thrilled) Fred decided we should replace the countertops too.  Well...  if the countertops were to be replaced, then I requested an island off the end of the counter with bar stools to replace the kitchen nook. Fred felt if an island were installed, then it would be best to include new cabinets under it to utilize the space in the best way.  But, if cabinets were under the island, then the floor vent would be in the way...  Are you seeing more work here?

We made a decision - together - and it wasn't nearly as challenging as deciding to paint the cabinets and walls.  It was decided to use upper cabinets under the island to maintain the space for stools and proper movement, so Fred had to build the base for them, hence, the garage was transformed into a working shop.

In the mean time the vent in the floor had to be moved. When Fred went to move it, it didn't want to cooperate - at least that is what it sounded like...  (Ever been on the receiving end of that kind of sound?)  so I asked for angelic help.  Next thing I knew I heard the sounds of mission accomplished.  I asked Fred if he asked for help, he said no.  I told him I did.  He thanked me and I heard my dad, Big Jim, say, "You're welcome."  So I reminded Fred to thank the helper...  He did.

It was about this time that Majik began to really enjoy himself.  He was playing and kept wanting to go out - in and out - in and out.  Then I realized he was wanting to go out so much because "they - Big Jim and friends" were going through the dining room door and he couldn't - I had to open it for Majik's physical body. I got my camera and took pictures. 

We had guests - and lots of them!

There was an angelic party going on in the garage with Fred!  Helpers of support were all over the place.  At first I wondered about the dust causing the orbs, but the next morning I went into the garage and blew dust around and took pictures - no orbs.  Then I sat with the pictures and asked what was going on...

The energy from the orbs was... electric! Excitement and joy! There was great celebration of home improvement - showing the house our commitment to living here and truly embracing it as our sanctuary. Plus the experience Fred and I were receiving of producing the project together. The act of creating something beautiful that we would love and enjoy together, was indeed, cause for celebration! Not to mention great entertainment for Big Jim and other deceased family members. From where they are they see the ins and outs of all projects and do what they can to help us to reach completion. It is in times of distracted concentration that they can speak to us and enhance our creativity.

I wandered throughout the house taking pictures and captured many more orbs.  Alvin, Big Jim's skunk, had joined us - I captured his "zero orb" in Majik's bed waiting for him to come back and play!

The countertop, island and new cabinets are installed and the organized chaos has been reorganized back into the cabinets - there is even running water from the faucet!

Our remodel project was a definite form of "change."  Change can be intimidating, scary and painful as well as/OR exciting and result in great joy.  One thing that is constant is that nothing remains the same - change is always in play in our lives.  Another thing that is a "truth" is that we can choose whether change is love based or fear based - we can choose...

As with any kind of change, we ran into hiccups.  At one point I remember making the choice between OMG, what are we doing? and opening my heart with love to envision the completed project. I chose love over the panic and allowed myself to experience the process of creation and the gift of the angelic support team joining us!  The project was actually fun!

If you are looking at a change in your life, know that you aren't alone in your contemplation and you won't be alone in implementing the change should you decide to do it.  At every given moment of your life, you are, indeed a crowd of angelic supporters in the form of angels, guides and deceased loved ones!  Ask them for their guidance in making the decision that is for your highest good - they can see the bigger picture of everything and won't steer you wrong!

In love and light,
Kate and Big Jim
