'Life is what happened' ~ RC

No Make up No filter ME ~RC What is the reality of your real life? Is it what you want others to see of you that drives you to create false or unreal expectations? Is it your fear of being excluded or not liked any more? It isn't an easy one to answer.  Do you hurt or pinch your ego? Yes, at times you may do so, but hey, it is life and it could be about time that you face it for how it really is. Is it time to take your make up off? Try it, you may even like the carefree feel of your face.  No longer being careful in case you rub your eyes and have the dark shades of your mascara around your eyes, no more being conscious of your lipstick staining your chin. Am I fearing of not being heard? No.  Am I fearing of not being seen? No. In fact I fear no more. It is so much easier to live without others expectations of me. My life is great as is. If I want changes, I make them. My determination has proved this theory abo...

'How will my mother look now?'~ Rosa Carrafa H ow will my mother look now? I look at myself as I stand in front of the mirror as I drape my fine knit cardigan over my shoulders and wonder,  ' would my mother have looked like me at my age?' I have only my thoughts to keep me from drawing her face as she may have been. How do I do this when I literally am living older than my mother?  I sigh a long heavy breath as a lean to my left side with my left hand on my waist and gently outline my jawline with my right. I touch my chin and then lean forward. My chin is that of my father's, with the little cleft in the center. I smile and my thoughts immediately went to my himas I remember him smiling while his chin was home to his deep cleft. My eyes wondered over my facial features in hope that I have something of my mother here in front of me. Maybe I have forgotten what she looked like? I panicked. I crossed my right arm across to m...

'Reflection' Artist Rosa Carrafa My mother's voice  (Extract from 'Life is what happened' Rosa Carrafa Author Artist Spiritualist) I know I can hear her.  She is the gentle wind that brushes through my hair while sharing a tune that is filled with sweet soprano rhythm. The music is of a sound that whispers her voice and caresses each note like a fragile white petal does the bud. I close my eyes as my hair waves in directions that frees my soul.  As it covers my face as I look down, covered in tears from the voice of the wind that is all familiar to me. The tears move like streams and ripples that home natures creatures. Just like I was once home in her arms as she spoke sweet words of music as I closed my eyes at night. Just as the moon rose, I slept to the rhythm of her voice.  Just as the sun rose, I woke to the rhythm of her voice. Do you hear her? https://www.facebook.com/RosaCarrafaAuthorArtist/

'Whiltering Cala lilies' ~ Artist Rosa Carrafa ‘Soft white flower - May 14, 1984’ (Extract from 'Life is what happened' out soon based on true events and raw emotions from the eyes and heart of the 14 year old me) ~written by Rosa Carrafa My eyes wander through the wire mesh bed bunk above me. Seeing through the mattress and the bedding. How it would be to just fly and soar through the sky. Touch those soft clouds. Hugging them with my arms, caressing them with my long delicate young fingers. I ask the clouds ‘How much have you seen? How much have you heard?’ “I fly with grace. I smile with innocence. I laugh with joy. I cry with warm tears. I remain silent with fear.” They speak my thoughts. Why? Confusion runs through my veins. Loud voices. Hysteria. Cries. Doors open. Doors shut. Telephone ring. Doorbell chiming. ...

Believe and Forgive "In times of doubt.  Believe.  In times of darkness.  Believe.  In times of ignorance.  Forgive.  In times of hurt.  Forgive.  In times of others not seeing you as you are  - BELIEVE that FORGIVENESS  will heal your wounds of  doubt,  darkness,  ignorance  and   hurt.  You are human too"  Amen.  ~ RC Do not be faithless, but believing - John 20-27

" Read. Read. Read.  I have had the love of reading from the very first time I understood what those letters were in front of me as a little girl. I was addicted to words, books, paper and the SMELL of a new book as I flicked the pages of it in front of my nose. Wondering, what was in between the pages.  Where will my imagination of bringing those characters to life take me?  Read. Read. Read .  It exercises your imagination!" ~ RC Read. Artist unknown.

Carlo Baldessari Simelli; Date created: 1860sption What is truth? "Your truth may not be my truth. Your truth hides between your cold breath. Your truth lingers on your twisted tongue. My truth is  warm on my breath. My truth rolls from my soft tongue. I dare you to speak your lies that you say truth. I stand tall over you as you now shrink in your lies.

Golden sun meets My confidence - Artworks Rosa Carrafa "Your eyes pierce me as you look from a far. I stop with fear. Your gaze has me still as you talk with your eyes. I stand with fear. Your rays of heat that penetrate from your eyes, burn mine. I shiver with fear. You blink as you step closer, yet your eyes don't move. I sigh as I remember how tired of fearing I am. You can take only what I give. I give you no more. " ~RC

The grace of love “The shift of love is around us. Do we question it or flow with it? We want love more than any other emotion. Yet we fear it when we have it and Crave it when we don’t. Feel the heartbeat of your heart, What do you feel? Is it not the rhythm of your existence? Close your eyes and reflect on how Much love you feel and want to give. With this balance, welcome the shift. Hold on to the space that leaves you Vulnerable. Reach out your hands and turn them upward, For this will capture the grace of love that is Falling towards you. “

The Australian Solstice  The land of the bush fills the air with sweetness.  As the eucalypt drapes gently over its branch,  It begins to wilt and slowly split at the tip.  Its beauty is captivating to the human eye,  as it’s necessity for survival to our heritage makes us proud.  The land of the bush welcomes the the sun.  As the eucalypt nourishes our majestic creatures in the height of the heat,  it takes its place in our great circle of survival in our land.  The land of sweltering heat celebrates the solstice.  As each creature peeks from their curious eyes longer than yesterday.  Joy and grace is around us for today is the day of the solstice,   where one can live to see a few moments more of the land before you.  This is the Australian solstice each year in December.  ~ written by Rosa Carrafa Author, Artist and Spiritualist The Australian Solstice~Acrylic on canvas artist R...

You have given it all and now you are just stuck as to where to go with your abilities and how to go about using them. You may feel lost, a little scared and at the same time with a sense of overwhelming emotion going through every fiber of your body. Your muscles tense with anticipation to 'get out there' and run to the highest peak of the mountain to let out the loudest yelp of satisfaction and hear the music of your voice echo as it moves on as part of the wind. Your head is now numbing with anticipation to be heard and share all that you can to assist those seeking solace, peace, answers and also celebrate their life with. What if I tell you that all this that you are experiencing is very real and 'normal' to those who become awaken as spiritualists. 'I am who I am just as YOU are. We ALL have 'gifts & abilities '- its HOW you implement them. Yes, I come from generations of naturally blessed people. My parents/family passed were active members of...

CLAIRTANGENCY - The ability to touch an object and feel its origin, it's connection to the owner of the object and or its use. All this is of course without any prior knowledge of the person who is holding this object. In doing so, stories or character descriptions can actually be so evident through touch that it feels as though the person holding and relating and sending the message is actually there - either in the period of where the object comes from and when the object may have been discarded or lost and how it has made its way to the current owner. CLAIRGUSTANCE - This to me is one of my strengths. Tasting the food - texture, spices, temperature and where it came from. All this is of course done without food in ones mouth. It is all done with a spiritual connection. To reach this realm can be overwhelming just as all the others. This clair can take you to all places of the world. Where this taste originates from and where it plays a part in the other persons life....

When one has clear hearing and high vibration audio processing of the spiritual realm. Hearing noises, words and even conversations from another 'side' that hold messages that are for you to pass on or reflect on.  Methods of how you relate or engage in these moments may be while in meditation, prayer or even sleep. Through these moments you are in a state of 'hypnosis' and connected spiritually or energetically with the 'other side' or fifth dimensional world.  Once you acknowledge your relationship with your clairaudience ability, you can then follow through with your soulful journey and share your messages to the world. Remember that you are perfect as you are. You hold the key to which path you will take to reach your destination.

TOGETHERNESS - It fills ones' loneliness. It nourishes your sense of belonging. It gives you hope. For tonight, lets pray that those who feel without hope will have feel that they are loved. For those who know of one who feels this way - PLEASE give out your hand. If your hand gets rejected, please give it again tomorrow. If then it gets rejected again - the repeat.  'Togetherness ' artist Rosa Carrafa

CLAIR SENSES This group or collage of  word phrase includes any or all types of psychic sensitivity corresponding to the senses: seeing, hearing, feeling, smelling, tasting, touching. Clair Senses in psychic terms are translated: Clairvoyance  clairaudience  clairsentience  clairscent  clairtangency and  clairgustance.  Many extra abilities included among these are clairempathy and channeling. I will be following up with a write up containing each of the above clairs and my personal experiences with them. There are so many theories related to all these senses and how one has the ability to 'work' with them.  My belief is that you have them. To teach one any of the above is something I have reservations about as how do you teach a cat that he can fly like a bird when instincts are clearly part of who the cat is.  For one, he does not have wings or the equipment,physical attributes or instincts...

SO , life takes an unexpected turn in your life.  Something you haven't 'signed up for' is really taking its place in your life, possibly a little longer than it should be.  I see these events as challenges and moments that will lead us further towards the paths of completion as a person.  I know that many of these moments you rather not even face, how about if I share with you that each tear you shed with frustration and hurt, will be tears of joy and accomplishment.  You may not see it now, but wait.  Give yourself the time to grieve and go through all the stages of emotional shedding.  You can do this and envisioning your tomorrow will make you stronger than ever! ~ RC https://www.facebook.com/RosaCarrafaAuthorArtist/

As I am maturing I am more confident and independent in the area of what I want and also what I need not only on a personal level but also on a whole. I am not one to invest my self in a project and then give up. I most certainly am not the person who runs away and gives up or become someone I am not on a personal level especially when it comes to relationships. Bear in mind these relationships are those on all levels, personal and professional. To 'try' is definately something that I have come across many times of late and I have addressed it in a previous article. How does one try to give? You either give or you don't. There really is no trickery or anything complex about it. You either want or you don't want.  This 'try' gives you permission to give up even before you commence. I am a firm believer that to aim and compromise with how you want to get things done, especially when it involves another person is the only way forward to a happier and more fulfi...
