Scientists in Siberia have discovered four new craters in the Yamal Peninsula, one of which was discovered shortly after locals reported a giant flash of light. These craters quickly filled with snow and water and are now lakes. One of the newly discovered craters is surrounded by 20 smaller ones. It’s possible that new holes are opening up and scientists are somewhat alarmed that they can’t predict them.

Last year, three large craters were discovered in northern Russia, baffling scientists around the world. Originally, it was speculated that they might be impact craters from bombs and eruptions along fault lines. Others thought they might have been caused by aliens or underground creatures of sorts.

I don’t even need to ask who’s feeling this. We’re all experiencing turbulent vibrational times right now. It’s a very real challenge. Whatever the source, we’re going through a kind of vortex of change and disturbance that needs to be acknowledged and addressed.

I don’t know the so-called “reason” for it, but it’s there. With even a cursory look at the world around us, we’re passing through some serious stuff. And it can be quite disconcerting.

I’ve said many times this was coming in previous articles, but as always, when it hits it’s another story. We can observe something inside the “washing machine” with a safe distance between the event and ourselves, but when we’re actually in it personally – man o’ man.

In the mind there is a seed that was planted at birth. That seed is our spirit. Or at least that’s what I think of it. In our lives, we can decide to nurture the seed and help it grow in a strong, robust spirit, or leave it in its unsprouted form. It is entirely up to you whether or not you want to grow your spirit, I wouldn’t judge you either way. I decided to grow it, and this is what I’ve learned.

1. When you accept tragedy, you liberate your spirit.

Suffering is a part of life. Acceptance invites into your life healing. Healing helps grow your spirit. Suppressing suffering simply creates more suffering. Do not surrender to what is in your control, but understand that many things are out of your control.

2. We choose most of our experience, so choose to live a positive life.

I’ve noticed the older I get, the faster the days, months and years seem to fly by. It all seems like a blur! So I’ve been thinking about ways to slow down my days and make each one fuller, and this is what I’ve come up with.

1. Take back your mornings.

Wake, coffee, work, home, sleep. Sound like a typical routine? Step one to slowing down my life was to take back my morning. I wake, I have coffee, I eat breakfast, I read a bit, I do a bit of yoga and meditation, and then I start my day. Do I wake earlier? Yes. But there’s something so nice about being up a couple hours before everyone else.

2. Be fully present.

Wherever you are, be there! Even if it’s somewhere unpleasant like the dentist’s office or stuck in traffic. The moment you’re in belongs to you, so live in it.

No, my love, you have not missed your chance.  Your dreaming has just begun!  Dream bigger, more beautiful and beyond anything you have ever imagined.  It is there just waiting for you. ~ Creator

Waiting for luck or good fortune to finally smile upon you is not an empowered way of living. It is waiting to be rescued, which indicates a belief that you think you are powerless and that life is something that happens to you. Dear Ones, that is much like sitting on a well stocked picnic basket, with your stomach growling, waiting for someone to come load your plate and feed you!

Your life is a co-creative process. You are the director of your team of helpers. How can you ever get the results that satisfy you if you are giving all your power away? How can your helpers satisfy you when all you hold is some vague desire for circumstances to sweep in and make it better? What does better mean to you? What can you do right now to embody what you wish to experience?

Assume your rightful role as CEO of your life expression. Declare what you wish to experience and then, with consistent focus and actions that match your intentions, watch the energies begin to respond to your leadership. It does not need to be hard work. Far from it! It is a joyful experience filled with excitement, magic and fun when you start to work with the incredible power of the flow and a completely cooperative universe, that supports you in whatever you choose. ~Archangel Gabriel

The Department of Animal Care and Control estimates there are hundreds of millions of cats in our world today, with the US having the highest number of registered cats at around 80 million. That makes for a lot of hairballs. Cats have developed an interesting relationship with humans over the course of history, playing a key role in our survival during the dawn of agriculture and later becoming one of man’s best little friends. Some ancient cultures even worshipped the cat, seeing them as sacred animals that possessed inherent wisdom. Recent studies even reveal some unique healing abilities of cats.

Recent archeological findings reveal that cat domestication may date back even further than the ancient Egyptian era to around 9000 BC. In 2004 a Neolithic grave was excavated on the island of Cyprus in the Mediterranean Sea, which contained the skeleton of a man and an African wild-cat, revealing an earlier relationship between man and the feline than previously thought...
