The Beauty of Earth's Treasures

I just thought I would share a photo of some of my most beautiful treasures... I placed these beauties in the garden for charging in the Supermoon.  I left town and not only did they get a recharge in the Supermoon, they also received some cleansing showers.

I love the vibration of Mother Earth, and the vibration of all of these healing stones and crystals.  It brings a smile to my face and I hope it brings one to yours too, just seeing them.

Have a magical week everyone!

I think I missed my calling as a greeting card writer - enjoy!

Hello everyone!

Here's a background on the poem below: I wrote this poem to my daughter, when my dear friend, LeRoy, was passing from cancer.  At the time, she lived with her dad in another state.  She was so young and really couldn't grasp fully what was going on because LeRoy wanted to pass away at home.  So, I asked her dad if he could take our daughter because LeRoy didn't want her to see him in the state of diminishing health that he was experiencing and eventually, his demise.  She was so young at the time and he just didn't think it was right.

Now, if I was as creative as my daughter is, I would have created a full blown card; however, I don't possess that talent so she had to settle for a poem.  Here it is, written in August 1994, LeRoy passed on September 1, 1994.

You

(A Tribute to Elizabeth)

I heard of the birth of a newborn child

and I thought of you.

I saw two children playing in a sandbox

and I thought of you.

I saw a young girl doing cartwheels in the park

and I thought of you

I saw the sky shining lovely and blue

the sun rays over the horizon

I heard the birds sing

the children laughing

saw the traffic bustling

listened to some music

went to bed

woke up...

In every minute, of every day

my heart and thoughts go to you!

I'm so proud to be your mom...Keep up the good work!

Like I said, I should be writing greeting cards, ha ha.

Please let me know what you think!  

This Thing Called Life - a poem I wrote in the early 90's. Please take some time to read.

This Thing Called Life, by Mai Calev

I have divorced myself from the world in which you live...
Too much chaos and anxiety, not enough serenity to give...

Too much judgment passed on people never known...
Enlighten me with some facts, how does your garden grow?

Is it beautiful with bright colors? Deep seeded in green?
Nourished from an unconditional love ever-lasting?  Or is
it brown and yellow, dreadful or dreary? From a life gone past
and a future worth fearing?

Do you live with regrets in your life for not knowing? For never taking
the steps towards your own growing?

For life is as precious, as love is rare... let all who have it, keep it
and handle with care... Rejoice in the moments some people never get the
chance to share.

Time spent with a loved one and taken for granted, is like a seed from the
garden that has never been planted.

In this thing we call "life" we are offered some choices: some good, some bad, some
not even worth taking, but each individual is solely responsible for the choices
they're making.

I choose to take life for all it has to offer.  I choose to be kind,  choose to smile. 
I choose to love, laugh, and live all the while...

I believe in live and let live, for my memories, love and experiences, are all I have give.

An Update for the New Year!

Wow, it's hard to believe that we are 17 days into the New Year, already.  I am excited about the upcoming year though the energy feels a little intense at times.

I have coached several people over the past couple of weeks that have all experienced this shift in energies. Especially now, with the full moon in its cycle.

How have you been doing on manifesting and creating the life you desire?

I have created some mini-workshops coming up over the next 6 weeks to help you narrow down and pinpoint your soul's desires, while approaching these desires from your truth and authenticity.

For example, I am conducting a mini workshop on the 26th of January from 2 - 5 p.m. on Intentions and Goal Setting While Living In the Now. (Since now is really all we have).

On February 9th I am conducting a mini workshop on Dynamic Self Love, just in time for Valentine's Day.

On February 23rd I am conducting a mini workshop on Conscious Thought, Conscious Creation, which I touched base on in my last blog.

I am so very excited to share this information with those of you who are interested.

I welcome the opportunities that lie ahead.

Let's move forward with purpose.  If you are interested in learning more about these mini workshops, simply register on my blog and I will send you some information.

Stay tuned for next week's blog about the Winter Solstice.  I love to honor the solstices of the year.  It's tradition, it's ceremony, it's a myriad of things.

Take care!
Mai

Get Aligned With Your Intentions for 2014!

Hello Everyone!

I want to take this opportunity to thank you for reading my blog and sharing in my life in some fashion throughout 2013, though my blogs were lacking in volume.  With the New Year quickly approaching, I wanted to wish everyone a Happy, Healthy, Productive and Prosperous New Year for 2014 and beyond!

While I was taking care of the usual year end busy work, closing out the books, paying the bills, and creating the upcoming programs I intend to release in 2014, it occurred to me that I should be sharing some valuable information with all of you.

Two of the Five programs getting ready for early release in 2014 are: Conscious Thought, Conscious Creation, as well as Intentions and Goal Setting, while living in the now (since now, is the only moment we are guaranteed.)

As you go through the rituals of setting resolutions for the New Year, you might want to consider some of these key factors:

1.  Goal setting is terrific for long term dreams and desires.  Dreams and desires that are 3 - 5 years out in the future.

2.  Aligning your intentions with those long term dreams and desires will aid you in the manifestation of those goals.

3.  Creating intentions that are in alignment with your conscious thoughts (and subconscious thoughts) will also help you to manifest both short term and long term desires.

Keep in mind that we are also mindful human beings with the ability to change our direction at a moment's notice. This is the beauty of getting aligned with your intentions to fully participate in conscious thought and conscious creation.

If you would like to learn more about these upcoming programs simply go to http://www.maicalev.com and then go to the contact page and shoot me a message.  I would be more than happy to assist you with learning more.

Again, thank you to everyone who has been a part of my life in some fashion.  Happy New Year, may you go into this New Year with intentions of being thankful for what you have, with a desire to manifest the the abundance that rightfully yours to claim, and a heart full of love and compassion for your fellow man.

Let's make 2014 our best year ever!!!!

Many shades of color

Today I want to write about the racially motivated and racially divided country we seem to find ourselves living in, here in the USA (and it also goes on in other countries, as well).  It wasn't that long ago that many people took to the streets to march for fairness and equality.  Today, those same people would be rolling over in their graves at the lack of respect for humanity and complete discord that we are facing in this great nation.

It appears (at least on the surface) that there is no way to really get beyond the divide.  This, of course, is not my belief.  This is what I hear, read, and see in the news - daily.  The whites call it reverse discrimination, the blacks call it continued discrimination and the latinos and every other ethnic race in America is caught in a strange and bewildering crossfire of sorts.

Here is what I know: People, no matter their ethnic background, religious beliefs, or sexual orientation, all have the same basic human needs.  We all desire food, water, shelter and clothing.  Beyond that, we have our dreams that our children will grow up to have and be more than we were able to - possibly to travel, live in a pleasant home, worship who and how we choose, further our knowledge and education, and you get the point.

So, my questions are:Why is there so much dark, lower vibrating energy out there?  Why is there so much hatred of one another?  It is the year 2013.  We as a species should have evolved further than this by now. Do some of us evolve at faster ratest than others?

The live and let live, and love scenario is great, if not hopeful.  Some people are bound by the old knots and baggage of judgment and discrimination, because this is all they know - this is what they were taught by their familes, societies, friends, and so on.  This lower vibrating energy is wound up in their DNA and it will take miracles to remove this festering hate.  One thing I caution those of you harboring this type of energy in your physical being... please, please, please, release this darkness as soon as possible.  This will only add to your physical illnesses and deminish your capacity for greatness.  Fear, in the form of judgment, "darkens your soul and snuffs out your light." (The Light That Shines Through The Fields of Fear, available at www.maicalev.com).  If you feel you have been a target of hate crimes, let the whole world know through social media platforms.  This hate has to stop.  There is no room for it in any society anymore, let alone civil societies.

Tell me, how do your basic human needs and red blood differ from those you spew your nasty hate towards?

The Road Less Traveled

It has been so long since I traveled down the road of guilt and shame, that I almost forgot what the energy felt like.  It took me only a few minutes to recognize the power of it though.  The self loathing, the sickening feeling in my gut, the sadness in my heart, the desire to crawl under a rock and stay there until I withered away... and I ask, "All of this nonsense for what?"

The answer is pretty straight forward and simple, really.  I allowed (yes, me, I allowed) someone to pull me into their emotional and self-centered, demonizing foolishness.  I played into it - hook, line and sinker.  Not that the person had any idea that I went there, nor did they intend to pull me in, but wow, it was an eye opener for me.

The event(s) that were the basis for all of this nonsense? Ailing family members. It is within the context of these events that I would like to address something about relationships - whether these relationships are with yourself, your siblings, your parents and grandparents, your friends and last but not least, neighbors, strangers and foes, they are relationships.  In my mind's eye, relationships are generally a two way street - you know, where there is a mutual exchange of energy back and forth to keep the relationship moving forward - however you deem that relationship good, bad or otherwise.

I have relationships with people that I have known and loved for many years.  I don't see them every day, nor do I talk to them all the time but we ALWAYS enjoy each other's company when the opportunity presents itself whether we talk frequently or not.  There is no expectation of anything other than love.  The love is shared with the warmth of compassion and expression of gratitude that this person is in your life and vice versa. No labels, no guilt and no shame.

When we create relationships that have expectations attached to them, it would be exceptionally helpful to those involved to know what the expectation is.

My world was rocked and I became a player in the lunacy of life because I did not live up to the secret expectations of someone else and their seriously single-sided, viewpoint of life.   I love my family, whether we talk all the time or not and no one is going to tell me that I don't because of their view points.  We all have a responsibility to each other while we are here on this earth.  I choose to live my life in positive energy with love and light.  I am sorry I got pulled in and after much contemplation, meditation and prayer, I was quickly reminded how silly ailing family members can make others feel.  I send them all love and light!
