i am in the midst of creating an Oracle Deck..... this is the drawing that has been chosen for the back of the deck

yesterday was the first day of spring~
the vernal equinox.... spring in the northern hemisphere & autumn in the southern hemisphere~
for me spring.....ostara~ new beginnings.... new birth.... a fresh start~~

equinox, all about balance.... so i spent time yesterday ""equalizing"" & it was a good way to honor
the energies of the day.... the shifting of the seasonal wheel~~

the balancing of the light & dark ... the day & night
all the elements in balance.... water, earth, air, fire, either~~
body & soul
heart & mind
thoughts & actions
the doing & the being
logic & emotion
masculine & feminine
childlike & elder
ignorance & wisdom
organized & hoarded clutter
the old & the new
 
balancing the seemingly opposite qualities... because after all we do contain it all~~
i kept seeing this old fashioned scales in my minds eye....
thinking about all the Libras in my life....
mentally placing things on that scale to see how they all balanced out....
choices, options, directions, thoughts & feelings....

this past winter i was almost hermit like....
tucked in pretty tight for the most part....
spending my time being still, observing, & listening, sorting thru it all
mending my own brokenness
i now feel myself pushing out of the self created cocoon....
remembering my wholeness....
more then ready for the sunshine & warm....
ready for the colors
ready for nature to dress her naked bones.....

i received a beautiful gift yesterday... totally unexpected!! a blessing!!!
& in so many ways it was also
this amazing sign/message from creator source & the universe....
& i am filled with gratitude....
over the years in my experiences i have discovered the importance of alignment...(timing)
it all happens when it is meant to.... when everything lines up in the most perfect way....
often we block a flow by standing in our own way....
sometimes we just need to be still to just be & allow the rest of life to go on by us as we observe....
this is a challenge for some folks... it is the full & complete awareness>>>>>
that we do no control another,that 'we are only responsible for ourselves & our own actions & reactions....
yet also the reminder we are never alone.... creator source is a constant presence!
there is that perfect & pristine balance of all things...
& then the shift & flow~~~
trusting creator source & the universe....
& just doing my best;>>>>>
even if in the moment, my best is being the reclusive hermit.....
or  perhaps the ranting profane radical that i sometimes embody....
doing it in the best possible way..... it's all good 
i am  an emotional being.... i can be logical & practical, mostly i am emotional....
it is finding a balance that works for me in my own way.....
giving myself permission to be my '''realself""  to be authentically me!!
to shine my own unique light thru my open heart with as much love as i am able in any given moment~~
& so it is  & so it is~~

spring is on her way..... incoming strong & sure!!
good time for some spring cleaning....
of your homespace, your earthspace & your personal energies......
today is a really goood  day to check your grounding....
do this frequently for the next few days....
 double check your aura & energy field & bodies.....
what are you checking for:
first off insure you are properly grounded....
there has been alot of shifting taking place....
so are your roots/grounding energy flowing free & clear & anchored firmly & lovingly in mother earth?
is your grid system & energy bodies free & clear of all hooks, cords, attachments & ""clingons"" in any way shape or form?????
ignite the violet flame to transform transmute transfigure & transcend those denser energies....
insure you are in perfect & pristine alignment with creator source through & through~~~
double check your intentions & focus as well as the words you send out ....
are they in alignment with your desires..... double check what you are creating & bringing to fruition.....

spring equinox/ Ostara   energies are incoming   re~birth   newness new beginnings....
great time for a cleansing fast on all levels & layers.....
drink lots of pure water....
take a sea salts bath to balance & harmonize your energy fields/aura
spend time in nature the next several days.....
breathe in the fresh spring air....
write a letter to yourself of all the things you choose to be rid of & then burn it!!!

take time to notice.....
there are messages & signs all about.....
be aware.....
be still
listen
watch & observe.....
be good to you be good to you  be good to you~~~

brightest blessings & warmest loving hugs~

sunday afternoon was spent in nature out on the property....it was great.... it was perfect, it was amazing, it was refreshing, rejuvenating....  it was exactly what i was needing body, soul, spirit!!!
spring is slowly awakening the dormant trees & plant life.... the nesting eagle pair offered a enjoyable show of inflight aerobatics & even allowed me to take some great photos!!!  the temps were mild & the sky & sunshine inviting.... the fresh air & peaceful calming surroundings so healing!!!
altho i have no been getting alot of hours of sleep each night... i am getting good sleep.... & being out in nature is always always beneficial!!!

thought today, how it would be so very nice to be 3 of me!!!!
there are so many things i would love to do...
that is one thing for sure i am seldom without ideas & inspiration!!!
i am still intending the perfect in every way "job"... maintaining that clear focus & intention....
i am aware of how the stress of the past couple of years has played out....
grateful always grateful of the good stuff....
actually for all of it, even if it seems "bad"  it's good experiences to learn, grow, & heal thru.....
& this is what i am choosing to do!!

been doing a few pen & inks... the moon always seems to draw that part of creativity from me....
i have always noticed an aspect of domestic creativity surges when the frig & cupboards are on the lean side... there is this whole frugal spark that seems to ignite a flare in food preparations.... i enjoy eating & i enjoy preparing food  & i am thankful my experiments in the kitchen always tastes good!!! i  do love cooking & miss having the big gathering around the table to feed.
of course the whole incoming spring brings the mental rearrangements of my garden beds.... wondering around my earthspace to see who is peeking out & ready to grow.... creating list of 'to dos"
altho sewing & needle work seem more cozy indoor winter season activities....i have been getting nudged by some creative force to sew.... altho i have several projects in mind.... unsure what will be the first.
oh & that whole spring cleaning thing.... yeah it's been knocking at the backdoor too!!!
then there is the resume'  the on line class/course in permaculture i am plugging away at....
oh yes & it has been to long since i have seen the little people in my life!!!  nana misses her little ones!!
see i  really need to be 3 of me.....

anyway life is good, happiness is better, & it all makes me smile~~
brightest blessings & warmest loving hugs,

this day is the day of the full moon...   full moon in Virgo....    grandmother moon keeps me awake when she is growing into her fullness..... this has been our relationship for the biggest part of my life....  i have adapted to this flow & it is all good.... i love how she wakes me & calls to me ....love looking out the window, or going outside so she can shine down on me.
this weekend i have been laying low... resting... experiencing a constant buzz of incoming energies....  the equinox energies are also incoming.... in the northern hemisphere spring is arriving... spring with all her promises of birth re-birth & newness .....new life sprouting forth in nature.....  March 20th is the equinox...   
spring has me thinking of my gardens & plants & trees.
we had nice weather a few days ago & i worked in the nursery..... one of my favorite things to do!!
i 'harvested" some dandilions.... drying the roots now.... enjoyed a meal of the greens  lightly sauteed' with red onions in sesame oil!!! pretty yummy!!!
i have wondered around my own earthspace....mentally taking notes of what i would like to do.... have yet to do the cleanup that i would like to....thinking of making changes to some of the garden spaces....
there is still a bit a chill in the ground... still thawing from the long cold winter season....
there are plans to plant more trees on the property..... we took cuttings from the willow trees, have them in water rooting... will pot them up to plant along the river later. 
i feel myself shifting gears.... tis no just the shifting of the season...
tis my whole life is in the midst of this big change...
our world, our society, humanity  is in the midst of change! of awakening.....
there is this whole sense of change that is seeping in....
it's like when you move to a new house >>>in a new town>>> in a new state.... there is a transition.... adjustments , becoming familiar with new road signs & directions... it's all good.....
just takes getting used to it.... acclimating & along with that comes the formation of new routines, & maybe new rituals....as well as the day to day stuff..... & perhaps along the way a rediscovery of things about yourself you had tucked away for safe keeping... come to the surface for a review or a revisit.....
the winds of change are still blowing....no quite as stout as they were the other day.... my wind chimes are singing a pleasant & joyful tune....
i contemplate the creation of a new"job" for myself....
i am totally trusting & intending the perfect 'job' in all ways!!!

i have been requested to do a workshop on how to make your own tinctures..... i am looking forward to sharing this information with others.... i love working with the plants & their essence in this way!!! so very much to look forward to!!!

today mostly i am listening. listening on a deep heart & soul level....
& being still, resting so i can garner all that comes forth......

brightest blessings, & warmest loving hugs, earthdeva/molly~~

i look at the dates.... i am surprised it has been this long between postings...
the time seems to slip away, somewhere.... maybe it is with all the missing socks
the dryer swallows.... or out in the ether's were i seem to have misplaced it....
i post alot on Facebook, when perhaps this space is where those postings belong....
who knows....   i will be the first to admit.... i am uncertain.
altho i have been told numerous times folks are glad i am on fb.

i have been busy 'adjusting' to the changes taking place for me in my  current job situation....
& as always recognize part of my "light worker/way shower" role is knowing current changes
for earth & humanity play out in my own life..... often in bigger ways than i may be immediately aware of
when i sit to ponder it all.... there are so many thoughts....
i fully realize change is constant companion on life's journey....
we always hope change is good... yet there is so much more that comes with change....

with-in my ponderings, were all these thoughts of patterns & programs,
the daily routines, rituals, yes i suppose habits as well,
that require our adjustments when change occurs....
whether the change is welcome, unexpected, planned, or something we are thrust
into the middle of....  with change comes alot of adjustments....
things that you might no even think about....
like feelings, & emotions,attitudes, reactions.... just to name a few.
i find myself becoming extremely emotional about the oddest things....
i find it interesting my reactions as i release 'ownership' of things i helped create.....
i have found myself addressing personal issues of what i have discovered is grief....
actually alot of grief!!!!.... 
so many personal issues i am having to deal with, & because
they belong to me; when i have attempted to discuss them with someone,
i stop to look & listen to myself prior to sharing, & then decide to no even go there....
i saw a statement, unsure who originally said it, >>>>
" never push a loyal person to the point they no longer care"
i have always been a conscientious employee....
just part & parcel of my make up & work ethic.... 
i have found myself; thru this whole situation of transition with the job;
seemingly at constant odds with myself!!!
how i have always done something,
how i would do it were i still working for the previous owner/management (which i was a huge part of)
how i fundamentally know it should be done......
& then mentally comparing it to how the new ownership handles things....
i see the huge differences, & realize my time with this job/company are limited....
i think about things, like;
what you put out comes back to you...
to always do your best...
to be truthful....
to live with integrity!
basic common sense type of approaches to life & business....
there are so many things about the new ownership i do no want to be associated with....
it is no who i am at all!
learning to look at the whole thing with a sense of humor, warped or however
i continue to do my job in the best possible way that i can....
to do it with as much grace as possible!
i am adjusting daily to change.... on so many levels!!!!

today the wind is blowing, from time to time some big strong gusts!
& i smile i know the winds of change are present!  
as i type this the winds picked it up another notch, & i heard thunder....
do i know the answers.... no .....yet i am ok ....
i totally trust source & spirit are ever present with me, & it's all good....
change is part of our life....
to no change one becomes stagnate & dies on different levels.....
when change comes, & it always will....
even if it is a good change a welcome change
just realize & be aware,
that there is the whole transition & adjustment .....
also allow yourself time to experience the grief & perhaps anger as well....
as much as we all would like for change to flow with joy ease & grace...
it is ok to admit to self & others that perhaps you are having a challenge with the changes,
transition & adjustments.... & allow yourself the space you may require however that may
look or feel.

so til later.....
brightest blessings & warmest loving hugs in the midst of the wild winds of change!!
