The Blue Moon, being the second full moon within one month, is a very powerful time. If you have special wishes, desires, this would be the time to do what you do, whether it be prayer, ritual, special ceremonies, to make those wishes known to the universe. I feel that with the Blue Moon being on New Years' Eve, it would be a perfect time to ask for that something special, whether it be love, prosperity, harmony, peace on earth, etc, to begin the new year with. Take some quiet time to yourself, clear your mind, meditate, then light a candle and focus on what it is that you really need in your life. Write it down if you have to. You might be surprised at the power of the Blue Moon!

Find a group of Mavens
These are our thoughts feelings and experiences. We accept responsibility for them. We understand your journey may be different. We honor and respect that. Wishing you effortless joy. Eloise and Jake
Maven
From Wikipedia: A maven (also mavin) is a trusted expert in a particular field, who seeks to pass knowledge on to others. The word maven comes from the Hebrew, via Yiddish, and means one who understands, based on an accumulation of knowledge.
Wow that is a new word for me, but it came to me in an email from a friend who describes a group of: "positive thinking women":(ie goddessess)who get together on a regular basis and work on the Laws Of Attraction principles. She went on to say that they are able to testify to each others realizations of visions as they unfold.
What an awesome way to utilize the power of collective energy to change the world. I believe that every human being on this earth has a deep seated need to be known, to be seen and to be heard for who they are. I believe that we as spirits having a human experince need to have a witness to our lives. And I think the coming together in groups is a great way to witness, document and promote foward movement of personal experince.
I am surprized by the the amount of negativity that flows openly on the social networks...and always jump for joy when i see a posting of a fellow light worker, or
MAVEN.
I also love the postings of those who share knowledge....(like my nephew who tries to share wisdom for those of us who are computer illiterate)
Anyone who is reading this today....take the time to to know what you know and then share it with someone. And find a group of people who can be a witness to your life, and with whom you can share your journey.
And I thank each of you who have done that for me.. on some level in the past, and who are doing it today. May you create your own wonderful path, and then share that joy with someone today. Thank you jm.

A Cherokee Legend
These are our thoughts feelings and experiences. We accept responsibility for them. We understand your journey may be different. We honor and respect that. Wishing you effortless joy. Eloise and Jake
A Cherokee Legend
His father takes him into the forest, blindfolds him and leaves him
alone. He is required to sit on a stump the whole night and not remove
the blindfold until the rays of the morning sun shine through it. He
cannot cry out for help to anyone.
Once he survives the night, he is a MAN.
He cannot tell the other boys of this experience, because each lad must
come into manhood on his own.
The boy is naturally terrified. He can hear all kinds of noises. Wild
beasts must surely be all around him. Maybe even some human might do
him harm. The wind blew the grass and earth, and shook his stump, but he sat
stoically, never removing the blindfold. It would be the only way he
could become a man!
Finally, after a horrific night the sun appeared and he removed his
blindfold.
It was then that he discovered his father sitting on the stump next to him.
He had been at watch the entire night, protecting his son from harm.
We, too, are never alone.

trusting, and not reacting to a crisis
These are our thoughts feelings and experiences. We accept responsibility for them. We understand your journey may be different. We honor and respect that. Wishing you effortless joy. Eloise and Jake
Had two "near crisis': one found out someone had charged over 5000$ on my credit card and two this morning i went to pull up this power point presentation i had spent hours working on and the majority of it was not saved. Both times I let go with in minutes.. well actually it was an hour with the credit card thing, and i breathed, and i trusted, and i let go, and in both situations there was a good outcome. Bank of America (God love them) credited us with the bad charges) and I found the file hidden off in my computer (and i am computer illiterate.) It is all about trusting. (And praising and celebrating) and being connected inward and upward. Wow life is good!

It all is as it is suppose to be
These are our thoughts feelings and experiences. We accept responsibility for them. We understand your journey may be different. We honor and respect that. Wishing you effortless joy. Eloise and Jake
So I have been journaling a lot lately as you read in the last blog. Today I just sat at the computer with a blank mind, and trust me that is a good thing from time to time.
And then an email came in with a link to another blog, and I read it and went wow, that is exactly what I needed for today.
Especially about intending our future, which implies we want something different than what we have. And as long as we want something different from what we have.
We will always be in a state of want.
http://spiritlibrary.com/conversations-with-god/what-is-true-for-you
So today: for me it is all about it being exactly as it is suppose to be, and being fully and completely in the present moment.
PS that email had to come from somewhere. And that email came from someone who understands the power of collective energy. Sharing and being connected to others is what changes the energy of the world. Thank you to her. And may you as the reader share something of yourself with someone else today too.

AAA: Having a witness to your life.
These are our thoughts feelings and experiences. We accept responsibility for them. We understand your journey may be different. We honor and respect that. Wishing you effortless joy. Eloise and Jake
Many of us have Triple A road service and protection. I am suggesting that there is a similar protection for our spiritual journey needs.
Let’s call it Accountability, Authenticity and Awareness.
So here is the story: A few weeks back I was going into a bad place, needing a great attitude adjustment. So I called my coach, shaman, mentor, therapist person. I just babbled about this and that; and how did I get back into such a dark place. As I widdled down through the issues, it became apparent that this was days of stuffing feelings, and days of ignoring what I knew to be true, and days of letting my power leek away into oblivion.
What I was able to identify is a tad of anger in my veins. (“A TAD” is pretty much an understatement) But I had fallen recently and I was in pain, and remnants of the dog bite to my face surfaced. And a little of this old issue and a little of that old issue, was lingering and the bottom line was I had stopped meditating, being quiet and had stopped praying.
So my assignment was to commit to 10/30. For thirty days I was to spend 10 minutes of quiet time being connected to my self. (Being out of my head and into my body, being connected to my higher power, to my spirit to my guides whatever terminology you want to use) I was directed to either just sit, if I had nothing to say, or scream or speak, or cry or laugh, but the one thing I was not allowed to do is think. This was all about getting out of the analytical, critical, denial producing, cover up inducing head. It was about being authentic, being honest, gut wrenching honest, feeling, and getting back to the knowing in ones soul and heart. Not mind knowing, but soul knowing.
And then I was to write her everyday via email as a way of being accountable. Now the rules were that she was not going to comment or respond, unless she did not hear from me. This process was not about feedback, it was about the ability one has with in them self to become aware.
So the process started 11 days ago, and on one day I received a message of: ?????? because I hadn’t written. After that, the drive to do this on days I didn’t feel like it has kicked in because I know I am being accountable to another tribe member.
That accountability factor is huge. However it is also hard to be authentic when you are spilling gut wrenching feelings to another person you respect and honor. Trust is important here. You really can not do this kind of exercise without a recipient that is trained not to judge, is trained to honor your path, and who accepts you unconditionally. It is also important to have a recipient of this kind of feedback that knows how to dump it, not personalize it, and is able to witness it without feeling responsible to fix it.
The experience I have had so far has been amazing. There have been times of blah, times of anger, and times of incredible awareness. Feelings have surfaced that have stayed repressed by the will of the mind, for ever so long, and some seem like they have been waiting lifetimes to emerge and resolve.
My ten minutes a day has now shifted to twice a day. (Once a day to speak and once a day to listen) Simultaneous with this, has been a revival of peace, and power. Currently I am working on some creativity blockages. And my mind is saying thank god, I don’t have to work so hard.
There has been some integration of my personality that has kept me very compartmental and closed. I am feeling more open, and yet not more vulnerable.
It has been a great experience, and I challenged each of you to try this 10/30 day experiment of being accountable, authentic and aware. Find a witness to your journey, and donate energy back to them as a way of honoring their time and ability to accept your story.

What I need to be happy.
These are our thoughts feelings and experiences. We accept responsibility for them. We understand your journey may be different. We honor and respect that. Wishing you effortless joy. Eloise and Jake
i just spent some time creating a dream board using Oprahs web site: http://www.oprah.com/article/spirit/inspiration/odreamboard and just got so revived and excited and filled with joy and hope. From that I revised my: "what i need to be happy list" it now looks like this:
I need to be connected to people /community / to a tribe
I need my space and quiet
I need to be creative
Sometimes I need to do nothing
I need to be productive and feel useful
I need to grow mentally and spiritually
I new to experience new things
I need to give love and get love
I need to be physically healthy (good food good exercise good sleep)
I need romance
I need someone to talk to
I need insightful feedback
I need to be connected to the environment
I need culture and times to dress up and be sophisticated
Periodically I need to go to the blue waters
I need music and dance
I need to be valued, appreciated and honored on occasion
I need to be making a difference
I need freedom to be fully me
I need the financial freedom to be generous
I need to the freedom to be content and still want it all
I need opportunities to fulfill my purpose:
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised Luke 4:18
And I need to: do what I love and when I stop loving it, stop doing it
What do you need to be happy?
