Like my new walking stick?
It's interesting how things come into your life. Tojo (in the picture with me above) made this stick... a medicine man... walking by the Wild Woman Enchanted Store at the Langdale Ferry Terminal, here in little ol' British Columbia, Canada.... on his way somewhere . . . who just came over to me in my store and said, "I'd like to give you this walking stick."
I had talked briefly with him, in an insignificant way really, just two people sharing life in that moment, a few minutes earlier... and he had left and I went on with my day, helping a Wild Woman in the store pick a Wild Woman Mystery Card and I thought he's gone on with his day too. I remember thinking what a lovely man he was, but that was all as things got busy for a moment.
That day, I was feeling a little in need of something, like I needed support. So much had happened. The death of a friends son, a new class I had just given, leading a Heart Healing Ceremony for the Wild Woman, being at the Wild Woman Enchanted Store at the Langdale Ferry Terminal, new projects in the works for the Wild Woman that are to be soon revealed ... all this and more.
I shared a little with my store neighbor, Lynda, when I arrived but other than that, I hadn't said anything to anyone or anything. It was just a private noticing . . . a thought of knowing that I needed a little time to rest . . . a desire for some support . . . a wishing for family. I was aware, that I needed some time and was planning to take a little that evening and looking forward to it... and then, out of the blue, Tojo comes into my store, walks over and says "I'd like you to have this. I make them. It's a walking stick and I think this is yours."
I wasn't quite sure what to say, as I was aware of my inner workings, the place that said "I need some support. I'm tired. Just a little. Not much. I need to be held up a little today." And I was aware that the acknowledgment was enough to make the change if I could hang on until the end of the day. And just the acknowledgment helped me know I could.
I hadn't said anything to anyone about it, except Lynda who was next to me when I arrived that morning. Other than that small moment, it was a private place in me. A place I was just walking into awareness about. So I thought. But not private to the Universe.
To be given a walking stick, with a clear crystal at it's helm, I was kind of stunned by the magic of it all. I felt a little giggle inside at the thought of my thought feeling like I needed support and that I had to wait for rest, or whatever I was thinking I would do to take care of myself. I didn't know this man. I'd never met him. And although I may have said something about my days... I hadn't expressed my need out loud.
Honestly, to think that our thoughts are not heard by the Universe, by the almighty what ever it is, is almost as ridiculous as the morning not coming every day.
We chatted a little and I thanked him and said that a walking stick was perfect for me in this moment. The metaphor was beyond noticing. It was like the Universe was helping me and not even making me work at figuring it out. I mean a walking stick to support me...
Hello! Because this communication was not even difficult to decipher. You simply couldn't miss it. I looked at my neighbor who was watching the whole thing and said "Whoa" as I looked her in the eyes. She agreed. It was mesmerizing what had just occurred. And I was humbled by this "random" yet really "not so random" act of listening ... or ... I mean kindness! LOL ...I hope you are giggling with me!
The surprises that come to me, the people I'm blessed to meet, the beauty that walks into my store, overcomes me.
We have a few more week-ends down there until Thanksgiving (our last week-end there) ... and as I get ready to be there tomorrow, I can't help but feel magical. I can't help but know the Universe has got my back in ways I can't imagine. I can't help but think thoughts I want to manifest. I can't help but say to you, come and see me down there. Share in this with me if you have the chance. And if you don't, come here and I'll share with you here on this page. Because life is too short to miss these kinds of magical 'I've got your back' moments.
Oh how the blessings from the deeper workings of the Universe come in ways that we are simply not always able to fully discern . . . it makes me fall in love, over and over and over again, with the Wild Mysteries of life and the magic that exists beyond our knowing.
Oh, how very deeply . . . down in the center of the cosmos . . . how very deeply I felt loved, heard and seen that day ... To be seen in that way. To be known in that way. To be loved in that way. And to receive the message in this way . . . the purity astounds me.
Namaste

I'm here to remind you that you are beautiful + raw + wild + you matter . . . big time.
I'm a Guidance Instructor + Visionary who answers the big questions like what is the meaning of your life? What does it mean for you to be wild from the heart? From which place within, does magic rise up?
I believe it's our birthright to be who we are. That it is possible to create a world where it's known that living wild + true is part of our lineage, and therefore, totally possible and in fact, an expected responsibility for ourselves, our families, our communities + the planet . . .
I'm here to show you it's possible to live in a world where being you never felt so great!
