BIG NEWS!!! Our new grandson is here!!! Tristan arrived 3 ½ weeks early on July 31, letting us know exactly who is in charge of his plan. We’re all excited to welcome a new little soul into our family and into Mother Earth’s family. His arrival might not have followed his Mom & Dad’s plan but he is showing them who is boss right from the start. We will all be learning from this little one!
Tristan’s due date was in the Sun sign of Virgo but he chose to be a Leo, like Mimi & Papa (Rosemary and Richard). We celebrated our mutual birthday on Saturday, August 2 with 120 other entrepreneurs at the Red Elephant Stand, Speak & Profit Event. Tristan’s birth on Day 1 and our birthdays on Day 3 of the conference made it an event-full conference!
Did you know that babies choose their birth dates and times? They are working with Mother Earth and the Universe to arrive with just the resources they need to live their Life Purpose – that’s what the astrological birth chart outlines for them. They arrange to have all the help they need and the chart reflects this. Many other systems of self-knowledge also reflect the child’s soul’s intentions –numerology, Scientific Hand Analysis of the handprints. This is true for you, too. Have you looked at the resources you brought in with your birth? Your astrological chart? Your numerology? Your handprints? These tools help you to understand your challenges, your gifts, your purpose.
Another way to get some info about your soul’s intentions is to have a reading where we contact your guides and angels and ask them to outline what you need to know for your personal growth at this time. This is a good thing to do for yourself around your birthday. What do you need to know for your coming year? And, since it’s MY BIRTHDAY on August 2 (also my husband’s) I’m extending the Special Offer so that more people can celebrate with me by learning about themselves.
You can schedule a reading to get a message from your guides, talk to a loved one, or get some questions answered and receive guidance for your next step. Here’s where to request your reading: Add to Cart The reading can be in person (in Severna Park, Maryland), on the phone or via videoconference from anywhere in the world. I look forward to sharing my birthday celebration with you!
Every birth is a blessed event. We’re excited about the addition to our family! Hadn’t planned to include that announcement here 3 weeks early but ‘this or something better’ – we get to meet our Tristan earlier than planned!
Have an event-full week for yourself!

How’s That Planning Thing Going for You? – Richard’s Commentary
August 6, 2014 — RichardWe are on the last leg of our journey to the south, visiting family and friends all the way from Maryland to the “main event” in Orlando, Florida and back again. Today we are leaving Raleigh, North Carolina where we have spent some time with second son’s family, to head home and plunge right back into our “normal” lives. In fact we arrive just in time to lead our Consciousness Exploration Group scheduled for the first Wednesday of every month.
It has been a “busy” trip with one-night stands in several places as we drove south. Planning and coordination was key to keep us relatively on track to get from place to place. The trip has gone really well. And I expect our last leg will go well.
We did get a little tangled up in navigating between Orlando and the Amrit Yoga Ashram, where we spent a delightful time with our nephew. Our Google Maps were not in complete agreement with our GPS guidance and we made some wrong turns on the toll roads. We spent a couple extra dollars backtracking, and, yes, my reaction was anger and frustration. I failed to take the advice Rosemary offered in her Exploration post:
Event happens. Then you React. And then you CHOOSE how you will respond.
Event (Plan seems to go awry). What is your REACTION? Anger? Upset? Depression? Denial? So many different emotions can arise and they can stem from previous experiences, even from your childhood. Reactions start at the unconscious level. But your RESPONSE is chosen consciously.
The key here is choice. The initial reaction is OK; we all react to missteps, to little, and big mistakes, to detours in life that annoy. It is the next step that matters. It is the conscious pause to move into our higher brain and consider an appropriate response, choose that response and act.
The second key is to work on shortening the time from reaction to chosen appropriate response. This seems to be the main work of my lifetime. My primary lesson is patience; and I get many opportunities to practice! Highway detours are just an example.
We will likely need to change our plans for visiting our new grandson in California. We had planned to go out for second son’s birthday, a few weeks after planned birth of Tristan. Son’s plans went into a sharp detour when Tristan decided to come into the world three and a half weeks early! Sometimes other people’s choices affect our plans!
Son Andrew seems to have handled this big change in his plans relatively well. He and Mom are home now and Tristan will follow soon when he is eating well and gaining a bit of weight (he was four and a half pounds at birth).
Of course we are easy with this change in plans; it means we get to see him that much sooner! We have to rearrange some scheduled events and reschedule the trip; fortunately we had not yet made flight reservations.
Some detours are good, even wonderful. This is what Rosemary means by “this or something better.” The best plans include this line!
