By The Light

"Look on the bright side." 

This is what he said to me right before he asked me what "the bright side" is. It launched us into a whole exercise with water in a glass and a conversation about whether it was half empty or half full. :)

Then I wanted to film the beautiful Super Pink Moon and only managed to get 30 seconds before it disappeared behind the clouds. The image was dark and not very clear. On the other hand, it was as if the moon waited just for me. It wasn't going anywhere until I went out and felt its glow. 

Here's wishing you a great week with plenty of time on "the bright side." 

Sometimes how you choose to view things makes such a world of difference.

Love,

I LOVE when this kind of thing happens! (Forgot to tell you this last week.)

I was in Brooklyn looking for a parking spot. The only available space was partially blocked by a wooden pallet, so I got out of the car to move it. I noticed this immediately as I bent toward the ground...

I smiled as I thought of previous blogs about finding money and, and others about finding feathers. It looked to me as if an Angel was giving me a dollar! I moved the crate and turned to get back in the car and saw this...

CORRECTION! An Angel was giving me TWO dollars! I picked them both up and went to my appointment, wondering why the money had been placed in my path that day.

It wasn't until several hours later that I realized I had forgotten my wallet at home. I could not have shown my license if I had gotten pulled over, or paid to park my car anywhere that day. I COULD have gone through a drive-through if I got hungry though.

When I offered to pay back my friend for the coffee she bought me, I had no idea that the only money I had on me was that couple of bucks that I had found outside. When I finally did realize my wallet was missing, I smiled again at how the Universe had my back the whole time! I had those two dollars in case of an emergency. I would be able to buy food or water if I needed to.

I am going to remember that this week - that things are being lined up for me and arranged beyond what I can see or understand. The Universe has my back, and in THAT I can trust. Everything is going to be okay. We have a way of finding exactly what we need before we even know we need it. It's already done. Our future has already been planned for.

#Trust - It's all taken care of. No worries.

Namaste,
T

P.S.
Monday's moon... Doesn't it look as if someone lassoed it and pulled it closer to the ground - like in "Bruce Almighty?" :)

Moontime

Did you all see the "supermoon" eclipse last night? A sight to behold...

USAtoday.com article: "What you need to know about the super moon lunar eclipse"

As timing would have it, the video I have been working on, like crazy, involves "super" AND "moon" (you'll see what I mean soon). I've been immersed in images of the moon and stars for weeks, working on the video project.

Last night's moon had me outside taking more pictures, smiling at the significance of its timing, and reflecting.

"Three things shine before the world and cannot be hidden. 

They are the moon, the sun, and the truth..." 

- Buddha

"I think we're going to the moon 

because it's in the nature of the human being to face challenges. 

It's by the nature of his deep inner soul... 

we're required to do these things 

just as salmon swim upstream." 

- Neil Armstrong

"I love to think that animals and humans and plants and fishes and trees 

and stars and the moon are all connected." 

- Gloria Vanderbilt

"Here men from the planet Earth first set foot upon the Moon. 

July 1969 AD. We came in peace for all mankind." 

- Neil Armstrong

"And even though I know how very far apart we are

It helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star..." 

"Somewhere Out There" 

- Written by: James Horner, Barry Mann, Cynthia Weil

This week, I'll remember moontime and its reflections: the strength and force of the Universe, the depth of our inner callings, the ways in which we are all connected, history's significance, and the guiding spirit of music. I'll work hard and be strengthened and energized by the knowledge that we all share in these - each and every one of us.

Namaste,
