'Life is what happened' ~ RC

My thoughts are with flowers. Flowers of white, yellow, pink, blue and orange. Flowers are so sweet and yet can be so somber. When does one give flowers? When we are born then when we die. Just like the flower our lives mimic the cycle of nature.        White is the color of purity. Re-birth or new life. As sweet as the new born babe who makes their way into the world. Pure is the love of a mother to a child.        Yellow is the color of happiness. Friendships and gathering of long time relationships between those who have known one another a lifetime. A childhood friend or a close knit social circle. This is the color of the joyful sun.        Pink is the color of love and elegance. A pink flower is as sweet as the kisses from your love. A soft caress that brushes against your cheek. A pink flower is for life. Once a pink flower is given, keep it close.  Blue is the color of peace. Peace of love, peac...

To feel victorious. What is it to you to feel victory? At what cost will you invest to claim victory? It all depends on the type of victory you are referring to. Is it the victory over ego or humility? Career or personal? Either one, your skill of diligence is required. Do you need to study or further your knowledge? This is the area that can keep you on a thinking path. To be fulfilled in this area financially, it may require further knowledge as we all know that ignorance in your chosen career path will only lead you to the road of nowhere. How much investment is needed for you to be successful in this area? Have you done your research into how you are going to come up with the funds to carry you through to the next level? These questions and more have been asked over and over. Do I have the answers? NO. For if I did, what challenges will there be left for you to experience? How will you celebrate your victory in this area if you were given all the answers and carried through it? I...

Its been a week of reflection on CHANGE at Spiritual Aspects. There has been a variation of thoughts shared that can really open up another avenue for those who feel they have come at crossroads. Are you one of those people who fear change? Do you run the opposite direction when you feel a change in your life is coming towards you? Why? Your fear is part of being human and the running sensation that goes through you is generated by this fear. Of course, neither one makes you more or less of a person. Be warned that if you keep running, you may be hitting a brick wall. These fears of changes can be a trigger that have stemmed from a past experience. This experience may have been through a time in your life where you felt comfortable and then out of nowhere you were presented with an unexpected action or push from another. This could possibly have caused you to be forced to change your circumstances and quite possibly your environment. The most common of these changes are relationship r...

Shimmering reflections  part 1 The sea is a pallet of colors. The mystical shimmers of sunshine which interludes with the deep spectacular ocean.  All the shades that the ocean possesses are somewhat a miracle as is all things created. The shades of green, blue, purple are only the influence of color that reflect from the see that I see. The tint of green that runs through the sea vary from the ever so dazzling jewel of emerald - that remains in my dreams around my left fourth finger, to the delicious color of the rich olive that leaves your mouth watering by glancing at the canvas of its beauty. If I look carefully, I will notice how blue the waves are in the distance. As blue as the stunning and sophisticated sapphire that dressed my neck.  The shade of serenity is casually amidst this aquatic bath. I will glance out to the distance and see a sparkle on a wave, just like the shiniest amethyst. A breathtaking view. Whatever have I done in...

'Waves' - artwork by Rosa Carrafa To 'go with the flow' through life is a phrase that is used so loosely at times. What does it really mean to me? In the past to flow through life meant to take things as they come. Take every piece of it in the face. To go with the flow caused me to be at other's disposal. Wait until they were ready to do something, see me, talk to me, hire me, return my call etc This 'flow' thing has so many meanings. It is also used to please the one person. How can this 'flow' mean the same thing for others? This is where it can become a little distorted. Does this 'flow' have hidden conditions? Does this 'flow' have an agenda? 'Going with the flow' it can also be a selfish thing if you just keep moving forward through your life and knock those that love you out the way. There is nothing wrong with 'going with the flow' if you are considerate of those that are truly there for you. Ask ...

I had a vision many years ago that my artwork will be seen by many, only I didn't know HOW. I come from a family of creative people. My father for one, was my inspiration. I will elaborate on him some other time. I would like to share that I have been blessed with the gift of creativity, as we all have - using a brush, drawing, sewing and music. My adoration for the arts was developed from a very young age as dad would just draw away with his pencil he carried in his pocket at any given opportunity. It began then as my cousins also display this exact same gift. As I would grow into a teen and art classes began more my hide away of creative heaven than a subject - I would just feel the freedom that was lingering in the air. This same drive I held on to as i matured into an adult and eventually a mother. I had times where I would just paint or draw away and then casually give my work away, some to friends, many to strangers. Just recently, I finally created my own Devotional In...

I have worked in Melbourne & Sydney Australia, All with people & dealt with co-operations both major & minor. My journey has taken me to Italy & Greece where I further developed my knowledge of spiritual development & FINALLY HAD MADE THE CONNECTION WITH THE TRADITIONAL TAROT—IT ACTUALLY MADE SENSE! As many would know the Traditional tarot takes many years to master or develop a relationship with—I AM STILL LEARNING & WILL BE UNTIL MY LAST BREATH! As life has it I have now been reading tarot for over 20yrs+ and have since this ‘awakening’ in Europe did I SEE & FEEL the connection to the ‘story’ of the tarot. I studied the history, the developer, the artist & all the diverse interpretations that were out there. It is as a result of this experience that I was led to an amazing lady back many years ago who was then and still remains my LIFE MENTOR— especially with developing these ‘abilities’ that I have. This woman was able to assist me gain confidence...

Apart from the fact that I have been receiving, dreaming, seeing, feeling, hearing etc for all of my life. I cannot pin point the exact time my first experience was. Was it the fact that I dream of things that then happened? Was it the exact voices & words I heard before they were spoken? Was it the fact that I saw how my present life was going to back when I was younger? Many can validate these. Many won’t acknowledge them. Does it make a difference? No. As I believe & trust in only one other & that is God our creator. We all have a belief system. Without prejudice I ask that you take this time as you read this who do you trust? Who do you love? Who do you rely on? Our culture is so vivid & colorful that there really is no room for prejudice. This may seem controversial to you however I also take into consideration our past. ‘Love the sinner NOT the sin’ ~ The Great Creator. I have traveled & been blessed with experiences that some I rather have not h...

Thank you for being courageous & taking the initial move towards making this about YOUR LIFE & YOUR JOURNEY. You have already commenced & taking charge of your own WANT to NEED to either develop your confidence or to get back on those tracks after experiencing something human like ‘challenges’ in life. How about I share with you that YOU ARE NOT ALONE & YOU ARE ALREADY on your way to your desired destination? Life is a journey. Life is like a road trip. Buckle up & avoid those bumps, curves, unexpected stops & traffic along the way. Male. Female. No matter your age or your life experiences or qualifications WE ARE ALL HUMAN. Those that have traveled my journey so far will know that I am adamant with the phrase ‘NEVER GIVE UP HOPE’. I have been called a ‘dreamer’ by someone very dear to my heart. This one 7 letter word has remained with me ever since. I have ‘love’ to thank for my inspiration to create & trust my intuition to lead me in the direction tha...
