Love wide,
freely,
carelessly
engulfing compassion
in those things
not understood
by the ego.
Love openly,
extracting,
mystifying,
submerging in gratitude
for all that is universal
while acknowledging
the connection of you,
me,
them,
and all
as Divinity.
Sometimes there is no need
for introductions
or
explanations
when the soul awakens
via stolen glances,
silent conversations,
cautious smiles,
and
the knowing without understanding
that things are just what they are.
This cloud is the eclipse of spirits
gathering in confirmation
that energy
exists between us,
guided by a string theory of connection
and
no matter how it is avoided
it will always bring us closer
so the sun can shine
with our inner light
together again
in divinity as one….
I looked for you
but didn’t find
the little boy
who loved me
so I grabbed
what seemed
the last piece of hope
left in a string
outside
from your soul,
reeled it in,
fighting the hold
of desperation pulling
from another side.
I hung steadfast,
gasping,
praying,
gripping with all of me
and my connection
to omnipotence
so you can finally
be at peace
with what is real
in this world
you chose to partake in.
You are lost
in an endless maze
of poor judgment
but I will get to your spirit
as I pull harder
on that string
to bring you to the light
of love,
compassion,
and truth.
I believe…
for you and me.
Let that string keep dangling
and I will continue
to pull you back
in the lighted path of Divinity
even if it takes
a lifetime to hold
onto that tiny thread of hope.
Last night I had a remarkable dream. I dreamed that I was LOVE. I had no body. I was free like the wind without being able to hold on to anything. But, I was LOVE. I had no judgment, intolerance, bigotry, or negativity. I was just LOVE. Every person who came in my proximity felt me, sensed me, but couldn’t explain their openness and divinity that allowed light to penetrate without a single rejection, opinion or heartache. It was just love. Because I was like the wind, they couldn’t hold me. Because I was vastness, they couldn’t contain me. Because I was invisible, they couldn’t judge. I was able to mold into their souls and radiate truth of self-worth, authentic power, and appreciation for humanity. It was mystical. I fit inside every spirit and still had unlimited abundance of love to give. I was endless. I was the energy of the cosmos. And, in a moment of truth…while giving to those who forgot their love, I lost myself and became my human form again. I returned to my body while holding on to a homeless man begging on the corner of a busy street. He and I wept allowing the simple truth of our humanness.
We are forever connected through LOVE. We are divine beings who have forgotten our worth and how much we are affected by each other. In our consciousness we know that love is the origin that seeds us all together, planting hope for our future. But, we have forgotten how to portray this to ourselves. We have become stagnate in thinking that loving ourselves too much is selfish. It’s not. It’s imperative. How can we love another if we don’t value ourselves to the most ultimate level? How can we give if we don’t own it?
Go seek love inside. Go seek love in yourself and truly see the beauty that you are. I love you. I love you. I love you with all that is truth, magical, faithful, and instrumental to your existence. Know your worth! You are powerful. We are connected through this lifeline of goodness. Remember! Don’t run away from it. Embrace it…and return to LOVE! Most people close up because they’ve been hurt. The hurt comes from expectations. But, when you truly love another you have no expectations. You accept their greatness and those things that do not resonate in you. We learn from these challenges. The thought that you are alone is an erroneous perspective. It’s an illusion. Breathe and feel your heart expand and connect to all there is. You are the ALL! Together we are ONENESS!
We exist
woven together
in consciousness
through fibers of time
filling each crevice
with memories of a billion lives.
I listen to each pull,
each passing of thread,
connecting us all
with intricate designing
carefully maneuvering the dreams,
lessons, and purpose of humanity.
This is perception,
the reality of you and me
intertwined to make authenticity…
open up belief…
instill faith… and … whatever else is of importance.
What is it? What do you see?
Which stitch makes you part of this tapestry?
Like a Monet painting we must stand
further from illusion
admiring the impressions
because when we are too close
we cannot see anything but distortion
and truth somehow disappears.
We are infinitely tended
to the constant care
of creation
that has put us together
with the only priceless material available to all:
The oneness of Love.
I had several dreams last night. Each time I was finishing one I would say to whoever was in the dream the same sentence, “The distance between worrying and reality is called perception.” I have no recollection of the dreams. I do have the quote imprinted in me because it was used many times. The line between fear, anxiety, stress and worrying is definitely a matter of perception. Reality is an illusion. When we finally let go of the belief that we have control the Divine steps in and aligns us with the best possible solution. Our higher selves begin to guide us and we allow for it. We release the doubts, discontentment, and disillusions that we can conquer everything by manipulating it. The veil of “what if” turns into a welcoming “what really is.” A shift in consciousness is all that it takes…sometimes a lot easier than done. It takes practice and every once in a while knocking the ego out of the way.
These dreams allowed me to wake with the knowing that the stress I’ve had has been a production of my perception. No doubt that the challenges have been real. No doubt that the heartache has been felt. No doubt that I have entertained the drama while knowing better. But, once I am aware of my perception I can relax and enjoy what’s ahead.
Have a great weekend, my friends. Release, recharge, and retreat! Love and light….Millie

Sometimes you find that one soul who shows you a piece of yourself you did not know was even there. This person can come in for a moment but the impact can last a lifetime. At times their entrance into your life needs no words, just a glance, a gesture, or a slight touch. Just having them come into your existence is enough to make you realize what happiness really is inside. Life is all about the simplicities and the grace of our unions.
I can recall moments of people who have appeared as angels into my space when I wasn’t having a good day. This has been in a check-out line, at a red light, on an isle in a store, passing by in a park, trekking up a mountain hike, or just entering our place to look at the pond. The energy in their eyes or in their silence has spoken volumes. These lapses in time make me aware of our interconnection with each other. We are all small threads weaving in and out of a giant quilt. We are all different colors, textures, and composition. Each interweaving in the fabric allows a degree of separation, but we are all connected by the giant cloth of Divinity.
I was at a store in Downtown Asheville this morning. I needed to get down from the mountain, be with civilization, get my Starbucks chai latte, and buy some candles (which is one of my favorite vices). While in the isle an older woman walked by, saw the array of colors and smells in the cart, looked up at me and gave me the biggest smile, while raising her eyebrows. I had ten different sizes and colors lined up by smells. In that moment we laughed when she exchanged a look like, “Girl, are you expecting a power outage?” In our silence, with huge smiles, we had a connection. She went on to another isle. I continued my smelling routine of checking every autumn candle on sale. As I was paying I saw she went back to the candles and picked some of the same ones that I got. It took one moment, a few seconds, to see how happy those fragrant candles made me. I am always giddy when I get anything with comforting smells for the house. Happiness is contagious. Her presence filled me with joy, and I hope that in my excitement she also filled with the indulgence of delight.
We tend to constantly hold our breaths when we are running around doing errands. Unfortunately, we are so involved in our own minds that we forget to notice the existence of another in our realm. With technology at our fingertips we tend to interact with the gadgets easier than with a live person. It is impossible to know when that one angel or person will enter our space. I bet that if you think back you can truly remember many times when a child smiled at you from a shopping cart at a store. Their laughter was so contagious that you found yourself laughing back. And, those seconds are precious. They are magical. Whether it is from a handsome man, an elderly woman, or a child, the energy exchanged is God-like at its simplest form. Never take these moments of sheer joy for granted. They remind us that life is sweet, kind, and beautiful. Just like my candles, let the simplicity light up your day.
Much love and light to all!
The lighter you become of egocentricity the easier life becomes. Life is not meant to be a struggle. We create it. Recently I have tallied, processed and released some major past issues I had not faced in all the years on earth. Now, from a spiritual sense I know that these lessons and events were part of my growth to enrich the betterment of my soul. However, if we don’t re-collect these issues and release the load then the struggles continue. This is part of our collective consciousness. It’s time to learn to create a barrier between you and the world that tells you what and how to be.
We are the sum of all the voices in the past. We become conditioned the moment we are born. Parents begin this process, society continues through teachers, partners, friends, etc. We begin to fall into some kind of box of expectations. Grant it, I had always done things by the book. But, I was a closet rebel. I did everything by the book on the outside meantime inside I was dying. I didn’t want to be conformed to labels of “weird, insane, or whatever.” As close as the spirit world seemed to me as a youngster, I kept the distance, thus creating a huge amount of anxiety in every decision I made against my better judgment. Living in the box is an illusion because there is no box. When we finally wake to this truth life stops being a struggle altogether. There will always be challenges, obstacles and lessons. We are here to live through the learning.
Our brain is programmed to notice what it already knows to be true. I’ve taken photographs of our pond with the clouds reflecting on it. You can’t tell what’s up or what is down. The point of reference is distorted. This is the same as our spiritual beliefs. We are somehow distorted by what society tells us to believe. How do you know what you know if you don’t have a point of reference? Where did you get that point of reference? How true is that opinion? Is it an opinion or is it truth? When did you stop questioning everything that went against your knowing? Why? When you begin to question rather than just assume and accept the struggle also disappears. You aren’t living for the sake of living because the world told you how to be, who to be, and what to be. You begin to live for you.
The collective consciousness is in need of a major shifting. Attachments to fear, anxiety, or drama is the way we are constantly being connected to what is not real. I am finding that by not giving an opinion to another person’s drama I can detach completely. I am empathetic and compassionate but I refuse to get involved. This goes along with the spirit world. The veil of our 3D perception and the next dimension is thinning. We are beginning to ask more questions. We are beginning not to just accept what has been told to us by dogma. In Latin the word for religion means “to bind.” Living in the box of what we have been told is diminishing. You can only go past this world by going through it.
My beautiful man accuses me of living in a made-up-unicorn-rainbow world. We are the epitome (the poster children) of “opposites attract.” But, he has witnessed too many things that can’t be explained to disregard that my perception of the world works perfectly for me and for us. I am not asking him to join me in my world views. I only ask that he supports my belief systems as I support his without judgment. We work perfectly in this sense while meeting somewhere in the middle. In this world of laughter and constant joy I keep my vibrations raised to fit the needs of my life. I don’t need to fall into society’s controlled-box policy of being a certain way. At times I know I shock the crap out of people. Those who no longer support me in my life choices really have no reason to be part of my life. Our lives will always be intertwined, with or without their consent we are connected.
I truly believe that things are accelerating in a way that is magical. I am witnessing the waking of spirit. I can see how decisions are being made and questioned. Yet, in spite of this human conscious shift, we are still babies learning to crawl. We have incarnated in these times to make way for the future. We are not just accepting that God is the gray-haired man in the sky controlling us, but that we are God and made in the image of divinity. Earth is changing. We are evolving. We are living longer. We are moving forward in a beautiful spiritual era. I am giddy with this knowing but I am also aware that it takes more than just my little fairy-filled head to push and elevate vibrations. We need to fill our hearts with all the love and light possible in our beings and radiate that to the cosmos. I hope you join me in this awareness. May we join in love, light and the divine joy of the world. If we want change we must create it in ourselves first. We can do this…one small act of kindness at a time.
Let me be the dent that
sits in the valley
so you can scoop all around me
the sheltering grounds
to protect me
in this world.
Allow me to be the appetizer
that you scoop up
to your soul
each day,
each night,
for the rest of this life.
Permit me to be a voyager
who travels in your journey
until we can be completely
aligned with the universe…
until you can find the way
to scoop me up
and make me one.
