This was a gift to me from a friend. I now gift this to you.
Mother Earth Prayer
Mother Earth hear your child, As I sit here on your lap of grass,
I listen to the echoes of your voice In my brother, the Wind,
As he blows from all corners and directions.
The soft and gentle raindrops are the Tears you cry for your children
Teach me the Lessons you offer: To nurture my children, as you nurture yours,
To learn the Lessons of the Four Kingdoms, that make up this World of Physical Things, and To Learn to Walk the Path chosen so long ago.
Mother Earth, hear your child, Be a bond between the Worlds of Earth and Spirit.
Let the Winds echo the Knowledge of the Grandfathers.
Who await, unseen, yet visible if I only turn my eyes to their World.
Let me hear their Voices, in the Winds that Blow to the East.
From the East: I seek the Lessons of Childhood:
To see with the trusting innocence of a small one,
The Lessons of Spirit, Given in Love by our Creator.
From the South: to Learn the Ways of Questioning:
The Fire and Independence of adolescence,
The Truths, and how they help us Grow along this Path.
From the West: where the Grandfathers teach us Acceptance of Responsibility
That come during the years of Marriage and Family.
That my own children grow Strong, and True.
From the North: where the Elders, who by their long lives
Have learned and stored Wisdom and Knowledge.
And Learned to Walk in Balance and Harmony with our Mother, the Earth.
Mother Earth, hear your child. Hold my hand as I Walk my Path in this World.
Guide me to the Lessons I seek, bring me closer to Our Creator,
Until I return to the Western Direction, to once again Enter the World of Spirit,
Where the Sacred Fire Awaits, and I rejoin the Council of the Elders,
In the Presence of the One Who-Created-All.
KiiskeeN’tum- She Who Remembers
Blessings.

All of us on this glorious human voyage into adulthood have to make some shifts, or transitions, during
the trip. Hopefully, we will go beyond the first two mandatory ones (from Spirit to form and from form to ego-driven ambition) and move on to those shifts in consciousness that lead to a life filled with purpose.
The Shift—a companion book to the movie of the same name—illustrates how and why to make the move from ambition to meaning.
Such a shift eliminates our feelings of separateness, illuminates our spiritual connectedness, and involves moving from the ego-directed morning
into the afternoon of life where everything is primarily influenced by purpose.
As we contemplate leaving the morning of our life, where ego has played a commanding role, and entering the afternoon (and evening), where meaning and
purpose replace ambition and struggle, we may encounter unexpected occurrences that accompany this new direction. It’s almost a universal law that we’ll experience a fall of some kind. Yet these falls or low points provide the energy we need to move away from ego and into a life of meaning and purpose.
The Shift doesn’t mean that we lose our drive and ambition; it signifies that we become ambitious about something new. We make a commitment
to living a life based on experiencing meaning and feeling purposeful, rather than never-ending demands and false promises that are the trademark of the
ego’s agenda.
We can fulfill our greatest calling when we consciously undertake the journey From Ambition To Meaning. We can transform our individual lives and, as an additional bonus, influence the destiny of our sacred planet as well.
Start taking your life from Ambition to Meaning today. Purchase The Shift book and receive a FREE 2 hour lecture download immediately upon purchase!

If you do not keep a journal then it is suggested that you do. A journal 
is a great way to discover progress and patterns in your life you may decide to enhance or remove. A journal is yours, to write in any way you see fit, there are no hard or fast rules, but there are as many suggestions as there are people who use them. Journals are a spoken or written monologue, a way of following your own life, or sharing with someone else. The types of journals I have utilized are work, recovery, school, personal, and as a story to pass on.
A work journal is an effective tool as a new employee, taking notes about the unwritten rules as you learn them, official conversations, operating procedures, and if you are in sales, tracking contacts. This is just a short list of what a work journal may include, though heed a word of warning, never put anything in a work journal you would not want someone to read. Save that sort of journal for your personal journal, write about the good, bad and ugly of daily life, this is an effective tool for writing out a problem, the terrific occurrences in your life like the birth of your children and getting married.
A personal journal is constructed of written monologue, tell a story about your day, be creative, or not. Write without judgments, opinions, free style writing is effective because you uncover more that if you are consciously writing. A personal journal is a tool for you to use as a way of creating a healthier life, vent, storm, cry, then seek a solution, include your victories.
Each of the other forms of journals follow the same format, keep track of your daily life, utilize writing as a way of reinforcing you memory at school or work. Keep a journal for new tasks you are learning, use pictures and words to remember. Let the pages inform you of what greatness you are achieving each day. Be creative, but let it flow without reservation or great thought. Journals are a self-dialog, opening the door to your inner self, your higher knowing and connecting with spirit.
Stuck with putting pen to paper, yet feel you must get into the habit? Then try these steps, first writing in a journal should not be a chore, a have to do, it should be a tool to guide you in your life. Journaling is not a strict requirement, take the work out of it, make it fun. Decorate your journals with personal drawings, magazine pictures, be creative. Next write your name and the date you are beginning this journal, put a favorite quote on the first page, perhaps include a picture of you, your pet, or a sunset, be creative. Once this is done, pick a place to write, make it a sanctuary, your personal space, include candles, incense, or choose the things that help you to feel safe. Make your first entry about the purpose of this journal, include what you hope to gain and anything else that comes to mind. Each day make a ritual of journaling, when you do not feel you have anything to say then write that. Date each journal entry.
Perhaps start your journal entry with a question, why the question is important, and any feelings that may accompany it. Follow this with any thoughts that pop into your mind, feelings and where they occur in your body. Do not analyze, just listen, maybe close your eyes for a moment and listen to your breath entering your body slowly and leaving it slowly. The open your eyes and write the first thing that comes to mind, if it does not fit with what you began with then begin a new paragraph. Write for about a page, some days you will find you have much more to say, others not so much. Do not analyze, just follow the flow. In the next thirty days you will find a change occurring in your life, perhaps finding answers intuitively, just knowing without having to think on it.
Remember a personal journal is yours, a work journal is yours but it is intended for work, to help you learn your job, improve it, and perhaps pass on what you learned to the next person coming in behind you. Journals are a great tool to free you of the burdens that ruminating and holding on to anger can bring into your life. Shed the negative and develop the positive, let spirit be heard, learn to listen through your journals.
Bright Blessings abound for you and yours. God & Goddess Blessings!

Basics for living a spiritual life are simple, it seems human nature to complicate it, determining a level of difficulty and seeking some way to measure it. Learning to keep life on a spiritual level takes practice, a desire to live in harmony and peace. A spiritual life requires desire, love, patience, practice, patience, and practice. Repetition? Yes. Practice and patience are both important to developing a spiritual path, without them it is easy to quit. It would seem that patience is one of the most difficult attributes to develop, living in a world seeking instant gratification it is habit to seek instant results. This is not possible with a spiritual life, developing a routine to follow each day develops a pattern of living resulting in manifesting all you seek.
There are several books and videos published that speak of manifesting through desire, what none of them tell you is it is a way of life, not an instant fix. The requirement is practice, daily use, belief in spirit, universe, and most importantly you, that you deserve the items of your desire. Living a spiritual life will create the results you seek, bringing you success in your manifestations. It is not the only way to manifest, to find the results you desire, but it is in this writer’s opinion a bit easier.
With a spiritual life there is solidity, calm, confidence, passion, less reactive living and more active living. The answers that were elusive appear clearly, fears melt away, pain and grief heal, forgiveness is automatic, you find a life that is difficult to truly imagine. The anger begins to melt away, old pains heal, the nightmares dwindle to nothing, dreams are filled with hope not dread.
I repeat this is not for those seeking instant gratification, because it will not happen. Building a place of spirit takes daily practice, regular meditation, calm music, laughter, desire, belief will happen, most important of all these is desire. With desire you can do anything, desire is the fuel to success if you use it wisely. Frustration and irritation will be companions in your journey as long as you own them, rather than ignore these moods, acknowledge their existence, accept the emotion, then change it. “I am frustrated, ready to quite, this is too hard, I cannot do it.” Yes, all this is true, but it is not valid. This too shall pass. “I am able to accomplish everything I desire, it is not too hard, it feels this way now because I am just beginning.” Use your own words, but change the message, accept the negative to embrace the positive. Because if feels difficult does not mean it is, you are learning, I am learning. Practice makes perfect.
You can do this, you are not alone. I will travel this journey with you. You are in my prayers daily, here is to your success.

Good Day,
I do hope this finds you well and happy. This is the first day of a new life, each breath refreshes me and brings me healing. I am!
This is the new site for me, Connie S Owens, from here there are many more changes to come. Soon there will be a membership site, on line training, support groups, and I am so looking forward to our growth together.
Over the next few days more articles, information, and healing resources will be added. I am open for suggestions, if there is anything at all you are most interested in gaining a deeper insight, information, please send me an email with your ideas and requests.
This is a place for your healing, I receive that which I freely give and it does me not when I do not share.
My services include many aspects to healing and recovery. Learning how to live sober/drug free when there are so many challenges to life is not a journey one should take on her/his own. This is a journey that should have companions, those who can remain silent, ask what you need, and support you no matter what comes. This is a difficult assignment for both parties, those who make a decision to recover and those who make the decision to offer support. The goal of this sight is to offer the person seeking a major life style change and those offering support a place to find answers, support, a sense of community. Together we build the village.
I appreciate your visit and look forward to sharing this wonderful life of recovery with you. It may be a bit rocky at first, but eventually the path is easier to navigate when you collect the tools to guide you.
Blessings abound to your and yours.
I offer healing energy to enter into your life as you read these words, all you have to do is accept it.
A Gift for You
