Happy June to you! As I write this I am listening to a nice Spring rain watering the tomato plants and flowers in the yard and bringing the water to the reservoirs for us to drink. Do you move into gratitude when it rains or do you curse the raindrops that destroy your hairdo and get your shoes wet? The answer to that question is your choice about which thoughts to follow!
Follow the Exquisite Thoughts that are filled with wonder at Mother Nature and her bountiful gifts! Follow the thoughts that feel expansive instead of contracting. And be open to shifting into new thought patterns.
Tomorrow is a New Moon, at 11:58 am Eastern Daylight Time, in thoughtful Gemini. After the last 3 Moon events brought eclipses with them, this New Moon should be a gentler push that “stimulates our awareness of our biases and beliefs, so that we can become more deeply connected with each other and our surroundings.” [–The Mountain Astrologer magazine]
Use this New Moon energy to focus on a new way of thinking about the shifts that are happening in these important days in history. At every level of existence we are transforming, some of us participating consciously and others being dragged kicking and screaming into the New Earth. How we accept change says a lot about how we live our lives. At the New Moon it’s a great time to do some ritual welcoming change into your life. New ways of thinking bring new energies. Accept them with gratitude!

In addition to the events listed below, there’s a special event on our calendar this week. Our grandson, Cody, is graduating from the 8th Grade and heading off to high school! Congratulations, Cody!!! We’ve very proud of all of our grandchildren and this is a special milestone. This is also why we moved back to Maryland – to be with family at the milestone moments. We had an ‘aha!’ moment that led us to focus on our values and make our choices about where to live based on ‘family.’
Notice your Exquisite Thoughts, your own ‘aha!’ moments this week!

How Are You Hiding? – Richard’s Commentary
June 6, 2013 — RichardTrue confession time! Frankly and in all authenticity I have been hiding at least since I retired from the corporate world at the end of 2007. Of course I have many excuses for this. But Rosemary’s question is not about “why” I’ve been hiding, good reasons or excuses, but rather about “how” I’ve been hiding. So, here’s the story:
I’ve been staying in the background, in a sense hiding behind Rosemary these past five plus years. I retired so we could start a business together. If you have been reading her blog or my blog, subscribing to her newsletter or know her in any way you realize the incredible talent she has on many levels, including the ability to communicate with The Other Side! She is a powerhouse and it’s easy to hide behind her.
Our business partnership was at least in part organized around this talent. She is the front-person for the business and I am the “operator.” She does all the outside work with clients and I run the back-office, the technology for the internet-based program, the financials, legal stuff, etc. This doesn’t sound too much like hiding out, does it? And it was certainly a plate-full for both of us as we started up our business in early 2008.
We did a lot of work, heavy lifting, to launch this business. We attended seminars and workshops, we did the research, we built websites and wrestled with emailers and auto-responders, Rosemary went to coaching events to help “jump-start” the business and I sometimes attended as a “free” guest at these events. We worked hard at this.
At these events I often felt awkward. Was I attending to understand better how to build her business, improve her internet presence, help market her talents? Sometimes I had the feeling I should be taking in the coaching, suggestions, technology patterns and marketing ideas for myself; in exercises during the events I would be half thinking about Rosemary’s business and half thinking about how I could apply the material to something I could offer.
And often I sensed the implicit and sometimes explicit motivation from the leaders and speakers at these events to apply what they were teaching to my own practice! (Whatever that might be.)
But I had too much to do to develop any kind of practice for me. What did it matter that I am an ordained minister in an Interfaith Tradition? What did it matter that I too have talents, sometimes even in parallel with Rosemary’s? Did it matter that I am this unusual male being, so often operating in this wonderful world of feminine energy I constantly find myself in? Rosemary’s coaches, mostly women, did seem to think it mattered!
I continued to hide through the upheaval of our down-sizing exercise, sale of our house in Colorado and move to Maryland (three separate truckloads of our stuff!) to hang out with daughter for a while as we catch our breath. We continue to work on the business and I continue to hide out in the back-office. But all of this is changing! I am not only processing Rosemary’s MuseLetters, shooting the videos, handling the blogs, keeping the website updated and running the business end of the business; I am also reading Rosemary’s prodigious volume of material and taking it all to heart.
I am done with hiding. The excuses for doing so are empty. There is more to me than “Chief Operating Officer.” And I have launched; I have begun to shine a brighter light out into our community! My first Qigong Class this past Monday evening was great: well attended for a first time offering, smoothly delivered and positive feedback received.
This time, 2013 and beyond, as we’ve written many times in these blogs, is a time of transformation. It is not a time to hide. We can no longer hide from ourselves or behind anyone else.
Answer the question for yourself: “How are you hiding?” Then look for ways to break down the barriers, open the doorways of opportunity and step through!
PS: There are beings you can’t hide from: your angels, guides, spirit guides and loved ones who have crossed over! Oh, you can ignore them; pretend they are only part of your imagination. But they won’t go away because they are here to help you! On June 14, at 7:00 pm, either online (internet or phone) or in person in Annapolis, you can join Rosemary for a Conversation with The Other Side to hear what those beings have to offer you. You can’t hide; you may as well listen! Get more information here.
