There's some very thin cloud but otherwise it's a nice day, somewhat blustery but warmer than "normal" and predicted to last through Friday. It is sunny, the sky a beautiful blue.  It appears we have Indian Summer upon us and it is a time to celebrate our abundance and enjoy the last few hints of Mother Earth's warmth before the snow finally starts to fly! It is best to make the best of such a lovely situation, don't you think?

It's a day to do some more last minute staining on the laneway arbour, plant some more bulbs, pick the last of my neighbor's apples and get some laundry flapping on the clothesline while I throw an apple pie in the oven for supper!

Wow - that's a busy day - and what fun to get to enjoy such a day in the begining of November... perhaps I can set the energy, at least for my own experience, to continue in such a pattern for a while, as I suggested yesterday... I believe it's possible - our "frame of mind" has an influence on our experiences.

I've just read, this morning, that November seems destined to be another powerful month, astrologically and numerically speaking. It was suggested that energy set into motion (seeds planted...) at the begining of the month, at New Moon, will be evident mid-month, meaning energy set now will be reflected back to us at the time of the full moon. How we set that energy now effects how it will reflect back to us...

That's when I realized some precognitive thoughts had come through to me at the end of October and again at the begining of November! Funny how I had decided on my first blog of November to "set" the energy with thoughts in a positive vein - I even deleted negative aspects of what I'd written that day -, done subconsciously to ensure I was focusing on things that would assist in expansion of ideas rather than narrowing a view. Looking instead at positive markers available in my shpere of experience. Anyone can do this exercise - and "set" their own energy. It takes only a bit of practice and can be fun if a person allows it to be.

Conscious choices - that's really all it's about - consciously choosing to take responsibility for your own happiness, for your own "slant on life" and if you're not happy with your "slant" - maybe it wouldn't hurt to try changing the way you think about things. Perhaps your thoughts have far more power than you realize - I know - this is the case - the thoughts you hold the most strongly are those which colour your world the most vividly.

So ask yourself questions, once in a while - just for fun and nothing more. Ask questions like; "what do I want?", "what do I believe?", "what do I think I know?:, What am I passionate about?" Play with it and see where your imagination leads you - It's fun and eye opening and you may even surprize yourself when you realize the answers to those questions change constantly.

Why? Because we change constantly, because the world around us changes constantly and because nothing is truly static, including your own beliefs. Even though we humans often try to cast our beliefs in stone. And if beliefs are changeable we can evolve, emotionally and spiritually, by our own direction or through the route of natural evolution, trial and error, cause and effect. Consciously or unconsciously we will still evolve.

By making conscious choices throughout the process of our individual development we can guide that experience lovingly and gently and with great fun. Or we can experience life as it is dealt to us and learn to ride the waves of change and development as best we can, as comfortably as we can. The choices are ours to make - and - the choices can be made at any time of our choosing and as many times as we wish.  Such is the beauty of the unfolding tapestry of life in which we are all fine golden threads weaving our way through and effecting the patterns and colours as they emerge.
