road through the woods

I often drive at dawn or dusk on mountain roads. Those times are the best parts of the day to see wildlife, which I love. But it also means that animals are more likely to be on the road – just when it’s hard to see them.

The idea came to me one night while driving that I could energetically “clear” the road ahead of me. To simply ask the animals to stay on their side of the road because I am driving toward them. While I have to go through their home territory to get to my home, I want them to remain safe.

I like this habit, and I do it most of the time. One benefit is that it keeps me more alert to anything that is moving around in the woods. Just the other morning I saw three deer coming out from behind some trees. One was just about to cross the road. I slowed down to a stop to see what they would do. The lead deer looked back at me and backed up, then they all ran back the way they came.

Another benefit is that I can clear not just the physical road ahead of me, but any other blocks on my “road,” whether they’re in my relationships, family, work or spiritual life. Even something simple, like feeling resistant to a person or a time when I lose my sense of humor. I use the same method to clear my path to see that person from a different angle or make a mental joke to get myself snickering at the situation. That “stuckness” instantly leaves – and the road is safe to travel again.

I invite you to try it. May your path be safe and clear.

My husband Tom brought home a movie last night – Yes Man. It’s a Jim Carrey movie, so it had to be fun, right? It was – but it was a lot more.

Although it never mentioned the law of attraction, that’s really what it was about. When the main character changed his attitude of being shut down and closed of to being open, to saying “YES!” to everything, the world shifted in his favor. Even though his change was reluctant, you could sense that he was no longer in “victim” mode. He was excited to see what would happen next.

At then end, he even talked about how we think we’re not enough – for ourselves or the ones we love. But when you say yes, you not only give whatever people ask, you also say “yes” to receiving. I was inspired to see the message in this movie – it’s light hearted and fun, and gives you the “good stuff.”

Definitely worth a night of sitting on the couch with your honey and a big bowl of popcorn.
