Birthday Blessings.

Good morning and happy Sunday my Zenful readers. How are you on this brisk Sunday? How was your week? I hope you had a pleasant week weather with your family and at work. November is making its way where I'm from. I live in the New England area and the weather is never consistent. One day it's 30 degrees and cold the next day it's a like 50 degrees and warmer. Lol. Gotta love New England, as they always say. After nearly 40 years of living here I've grown accustom to its weather mood swings. :) Some days she blows an autumn breeze my way. Others I can smell that fall crisp air. During the winter days she'll blow a gust of wind that reminds me how wicked she can be with her wind hugs. It all but squeezes the air out of you if you don't cover up with a scarf. That's the New England weather I've come to love. I'm excited for our first snow fall. I've been Blessed by having snow on my birthday. I always see it as a gift from Mr. Freeze. lol I've also been Blessed by having such a great group of friends in my life. 

I've mentioned them before in my past blogs. But I think it's important to let those you care for know how you feel and how much they mean to you. Some people come into your life for a short time, yet they leave such an energy with you that you don't, you can't forget about them. (Dee, I miss you) 
I've always said that our lives are like a book. And our journeys are our chapters. I'm grateful for each of my journeys. The ugly, the bad, and the great. It's made me who I am today. As hard as some of it may have been. I wouldn't change its course. My journey has also led me to each and everyone of you. And I'm very grateful and humbled by that. Some people I've come to meet, have touched my life for a short time for reasons I may not know but may find out later on, or not. Sometimes we don't have the answers we may be seeking at the moment, on why a person may have entered and or left our life. 
They may come in, impact you in a certain way that has given you more confidence. Or maybe they have touched your soul in a way that you will for ever be changed. I'm grateful for every one I've come to meet and know and now call my friends, my family. 

I feel Blessed to be able to have learned how to smudge because it has helped my own family and my own friends. 

I've even had the opportunity to smudge one of my Google+ besties a few times. (I've mentioned this before) She felt the effects right away and was grateful. Little did she know how grateful I was.. and still am. That she allowed me to help her, and that she was open to my smudging her. That meant a lot to me. Thus making the experience for us both all the more. 

This special woman surprised me at my work place by sending me flowers this past Friday with a small soft Bear. (I may have mentioned I collected bears in one of our threads) She planned all this from her home in California. What a most special thing to do for someone, whom, she's only known for a short few months. But in these few short months. This lovely lady and I have connected in a way neither of us expected. And we've grown quite close. You've made such a wonderful great memory for my 40th Birthday weekend. Thank you mi baby girl. Xoxox thank you so very much! I'm grateful for you and your helper from down under :) 
I'm also so thankful for those others I've grown close with from my google circle. We have had such great laughs and I'm so grateful for each of you. 
I love how we support and encourage each other. We have and bring forward such wonderful positive energy. Our banters make me laugh so hard. It's so wonderful. Thank you for surrounding me with this on a daily. SALU!!! Hugs & chocolate & some Guinny of course! :) 

I want to wrap up this Blog by saying thank you to my friends here at home. For the one that's 20 years younger than me and a wonderful first time mom. Despite our age difference we have such a major connection baby sis! Thank you for sharing your & your daughter's life with me. 
Thank you for those friends that have been there for me when I needed them the most. You know who you are. 

Amy, your encouraging homemade cards I'll cherish them always. Your lavender which I burn and will burn, special today. 

And for those days at the Hall when I felt overwhelmed and I'd text you to vent. I'd always get a funny reply to shift my energy. When I need an ibuprofen or four :P You're always there xoxox Or even when you surprise me with a bag of gum and or a yummy cupcake. I thank you. 

There's another Cali girl I can't ever forget. She's was born on West side but she's a Bostonian in her heart. I love you my friend, you and Mr cheeks! Xoxox 

I dedicate this Sundays Smudge day to you all. May this week be filled with protective, love, great health and positive energy for you and your family. Xoxox 

Let's begin..... 

Opening smudge prayerI'd like to ask The Lord our Father as well as The Universe to be here with us today as I smudge & cleanse each of those that are reading this. 

I'd like to also ask my ancestors to be present, as well as the elements earth, rain, wind, & fire to be here with us. I'd like to call on the goddess of the north, east, south & west. As well as our archangels Raphael for healing, Michael for protection, Gabriel for revelation & Uriel for wisdom. 

Please release us all of any negative energy that does not suit or support our needs. Please Lord and Universe be here with us and help us during our time of needing healing, protection, revelation, and wisdom. 

Please let us all have a drama free and great work week. Let our children have a wonderful week at school and daycare. Please let all issues regarding friendship, spouses or family be resolved as they are meant to be, in a kind and peaceful manner. 
See the sage smoke carry away all your worries and see them blown away with the element wind, burn them away with the element fire, soak them away with the element water so that the element earth may ground you. Take these few minutes to visual this and clear this away......




Closing smudge prayer.......

 I'd like to thank you Lord and the Universe for giving me the opportunity to share my Zenful experience with others. 

I want to thank my ancestors for being present. I'd like to also, thank the elements earth, rain, wind, & fire for being with us. I'd like to thank the goddess of the north, east, south & west.
