We’re celebrating one of the heralds of the beginning of Summer – Memorial Weekend in the US! This is a time where we honor the war dead of past (and present) wars. This holiday weekend is usually filled with parties and picnics and parades. It is also when neighborhood swimming pools open for the season, people put their boats in the water, and we start thinking about spending more time outdoors. I love this time of year!
There is always an excitement about the possibilities of Summer fun. Beach time, cookouts, gardening. We picked up our first delivery from the CSA we joined months ago. Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a great model of investing up front for a promised ROI. We paid for our share during the winter so the farmers raised enough capital to plant their crops. Then, from May through October, we get a weekly box of veggies. It’s like Christmas every Thursday, knowing we’ll have something delicious to eat and not knowing exactly what gifts will be in the box!
What other possibilities have you invested in lately? How about the Possibilities Playshop on June 14?Would you like to have a few hours of fun, in a group of folks exploring possibilities for the rest of 2014, and you’ll leave with your very own Playbook, with lots of ideas and themes and even some surprises for the coming ‘moonths’? We had so much fun creating our Playbooks in January that we’re doing it again for the Summer Solstice! Come join us, either in person in Severna Park, MD or via videoconference. And, if you attended the January Playshop or purchased the DVDs, you can come back AT NO COST! Here are more details:Playshop Link I look forward to se eing you on June 14! Today’s video is a clip from the January Playshop to let you know a bit about what to expect. There will be surprises, too!
We’re starting a new ‘moonth’ on the New Moon that happens Wednesday, May 28, at 2:40 pm Eastern Daylight Time. On that day, the Sun and the Moon will join in the sign of Gemini to focus the energy on the mind and our thoughts. We’re also experiencing a ‘Grand Trine,’ a big triangle in the sky with Jupiter at one point, Saturn at another, and Chiron as the third point. Think of structuring your purpose as a healer (and we are all healers of some kind!) in a new and expanding way as you bring heart and mind together seeking creative expressions of the possibilities you are exploring. This energy will help you to move beyond the learnings/challenges of last month’s Grand Cross!
Everything points to TRANSFORMATION! What possibilities will YOU explore now?
Celebrate Summertime fun! Have an outdoors kind of week. Smile at a stranger! Smile at a friend!

Commitment and Solutions – Richard’s Commentary
April 30, 2014 — RichardWe are just returning from the West Coast and Suzanne Evans’ Be The Change Event she hosted in Las Vegas. This event coupled with the Cardinal Grand Cross bookended by two eclipses has truly been a transformative time for both Rosemary and me. However, one of the key take-aways from BTCE and Suzanne’s teachings is, there is no transformation possible without commitment!
In her bigger-than-life style, from both her power center and her heart, Suzanne demonstrated over and over what commitment means. If you don’t know her, look her up. If you do know her there is little I can say to emphasize my point about her and her events. She is committed. And she teaches the need for that level of commitment if we are to make a difference, to “Be the Change”, to transform ourselves in any meaningful and purposeful way.
It takes commitment. Not lip-service, not half-hearted acknowledgement that we are all here for a purpose, not even dedication of time, resources, energy and money. We have to be all in!
But how do we know what to commit to? If we are called to action, to commitment, how can we be sure that our path is the right one and our choices lead to fulfillment of our commitment?
In her Exploration article Rosemary channeled The Divine Feminine and here’s what they say about that:
For so many of you there have been problems in your life that you have struggled to handle. Money, relationship, children, career. These problems exist in the 3-dimensional world of Planet Earth. Your pain, whether only emotional or a combination of emotional/mental/physical, is also a 3-dimensional pain.
But we would tell you that there are many dimensions beyond the 3 you are considering and your solutions lie beyond where you are searching for them.
Do you look for solutions that lie beyond the 3-dimensions? Do you go inside and ask for guidance from your “Inner Knower”? And when you ask do you listen? And trust the answers?
The key to this examination of 3-dimensional problems solved by multi-dimensional exploration is trust. This is one of the key components to Rosemary’s teaching. As a man this is one of the key teachings I pay attention to and learn from. I am still learning this key. I go inside for answers often. And I do hear and sense the advice I seek. And I am still learning the trust part!
The secret here is gut instinct…trust your gut. Too often I get that feeling that something is about to happen; I need to prepare or participate. But then I ignore the sense of it and go about my business as I PLANNED IT. This is the downfall: to be so stuck in “the plan” that there is no room for trust!
And the secret to this trust is to go through and beyond the fear. The Divine Feminine say:
Focus on what you DO WANT and commit your energy to making that happen, even if it scares you.
Suzanne echoed this advice many times through this past weekend conference; when your next step scares the hell out of you then you know you are on the right track!
Are you that committed?
