Spring Into Bloom

Something in you knows it’s time to bloom, but the path forward feels messy, slow, and strangely intense. That’s where I’m at too. After two weeks away from the mic, I’m back with a raw check-in on spiritual awakening, ascension, and why real change doesn’t feel like a quick breakthrough. It feels like a marathon: fresh starts, uphill climbs, exhaustion, and those deep valleys where you wonder if you can keep going.
I also share what’s been happening in my outer world as spring arrives in Middle Tennessee and I pour energy into restoring our garden plots. Reclaiming neglected ground, building a tunnel trellis, and laying new paths becomes more than homestead talk. It’s a mirror for personal transformation: clear what’s overgrown, build support for what you want to grow, and commit to the long game. If you love practical spirituality, this blend of everyday life and deeper meaning will land.
Come listen, reflect, and then talk to me. Subscribe for more, share this with someone in a hard season, leave a review, and drop a comment telling me where you are in the marathon of your life. And, as always I pray for your great health, vibrant energy and of course PEACE!

A Brand New Day Begins

SPEAKER_00 0:00

How many of you people out there feel the need to blossom? Well, you better come out of that hole of yours and get yourself together, cause the sun is gonna shine and the wind is gonna blow in a brand new day. Just like we have today, a brand new, spectacular Saturday. And I want to welcome you back to Free to Just Be, the podcast where my personal dance of transformation becomes hopefully an invitation for you to either start your own dance of transformation or stay steady and continue on this ascension dance. And I'm your host, Teresa Marie, an ambassador of Qi, and I am here to share my daily observations, my Earth School lessons, and everything to do with the ascension and awakening dance that we find ourselves navigating on this beautiful planet we call Earth. We are in the midst of the most powerful energetic shift unfolding across humanity. And oh baby, we have so much to go through. Because you see, this is not a sprint. This isn't a casual jog. We are in the marathon of our lives. Our whole life is literally a marathon. And it comes with the exhilaration of new starts, it comes with injury, it comes with exhaustion, it comes with uh power sprints, it comes with uphill climbs and deep, deep valleys of feeling like we are not going to make it, right? So welcome, welcome in to Free to Just Be, where we discuss all things ascension and way awakening, and we always bring in our Creator God. I'm so glad that you're here. It's been two weeks today since I've been behind the mic, and many revelations and uh trepidations and uh just so much occurring the last two weeks. Uh so I want to share, kind of give you a catch-up of where I've been. First off, it may be a little bit hit and miss um for my podcast because we are five days off from the start, the official quote-unquote start of spring. Spring rolls in a couple of days after St. Patti's Day on the 19th, Thursday of this week. And of course, just like I I opened with a quote actually from um the lyrics of Brand New Day by Sting, believe it or not. Um, but how many of us out there are feeling the need to blossom? Well, here in Middle Tennessee, everything is turning this neon beautiful green. And it is the start of one of my well, every season is my favorite, really, when it comes down to it. I used to always say, Oh, I hate winter, you know, but no, I I love them all at this point. Um, I have been through enough seasonal changes that I appreciate every single one of them. And uh a couple of weeks ago, I mentioned the the crocus and the daffodils coming up, and and it, you know, that always just excites me because I know that the warmer weather is right around the corner. And that being said, uh my last two shifts off, where I've had three days in a row off, I have been hard at work rejuvenating, reclaiming the ground that I left um about two years ago, and resuscitating and bringing new life back to my garden plots. Uh, because you know, my husband in in his transformational stages, as we were apart, that was the furthest thing from his mind was uh keeping up with the gardens that I planted. He he was just trying to keep up with the sadness and and the anger and and all the transformation that he was going through. And I completely understand that. And now we are working together on on the garden um plots, and it's it's it's become um a real sweet return outside to our property. We have eight acres, and um our home and what we consider our garden spaces are are on about an acre or so, uh maybe an acre and a half, and the rest is woods. And so we have uh major plans this year. Um we are uh building, in fact, my husband's going to be um bringing home the materials today after he gets off work for a 15-foot um tunnel trellis so that we can grow all of our vining um crops this year, our melons, our cucumbers, our squashes vertically. And then we're going to use that tunnel to make a greenhouse for the fall and winter season so I can continue to grow some produce over the the call of the colder weather. So that's that's one of our major projects this year, and um I have been installing uh our uh wood chip walkways all around our berries, uh our blueberries, uh all of the berries are are being treated like royalty right now. So, that all being said, I have spent the majority of my time that I've been home the last two weeks out there working in the yard. And that that's not to say that I wouldn't have podcasted, there were other things happening as well. Amongst them, now I want to remind us that once we make the decision to face our awakening, and for many of us, it's it's kind of like that toe-in-the-water concept. Uh, sometimes for years. We know that we need to awaken, but we are not ready to leave the matrix programming. Because you see, the matrix by design is the easy way, the convenient way, uh, the no-pressure way. Oh, just do all the things that the world is telling you to do, and life will just be so much easier. And yes, there are many microwave concepts that make our life easier when we're in the matrix. So, in the very beginning, it's kind of like, oh my gosh, I don't want to be in this anymore, something's very wrong. And then we go back into the habits or the programs that we're familiar with, and and that happens for a while. And then we progress and and we start recognizing, and and then the day comes when the true kick in the stomach, the true red pill has been swallowed, and there's no turning back after that. Then the true marathon begins, right? But even then, we are still, I've I've talked about like the seesaw concept where in the 3D and we're partially in the 5D, and on and on we teeter and totter. That's kind of like the middle stage. But when we come to the place where we say, no more, no, no more, man. I I I can't I can't do this anymore, then what happens is the second half of Sting's brand new day song starts arriving in our life, where we see the world in a different light because it's a brand new day, right? So now our eyes are wide open. We don't have our rose-colored glasses anymore. We fully recognize that we are in these massive programs, layer upon layer of programs that we have allowed via the matrix, right? And we begin to ask God, hopefully, or you know, whatever it is that we find on any given day that God puts in front of our face to begin to walk ourselves out of those programs. Well, it's uh then we decide, as Sting continues, that after we see that different light, we begin to hold our head up high, right? Because it's a brand new day, it's a brand new way of being, right? We're gonna let love begin. We're gonna begin to think in a brand new way. And then he continues to say, turn the clock back to zero, honey, because I'm out of here. I'm the hero from a movie, right? And it's a brand new gear. I'm a bird in the sky, I'm a fish in the sea, I'm a king on a throne, I'm a man who is free. So a lot of that starts coming into our life. And then we start playing, you know, the back and forth type of thing. But then there comes a day where you know, you know that you know that you know, that there is no turning back, and the cutoff time is here. And that's been coming for me for about three years now. Um, I am in, uh I've shared a couple of episodes ago that I am in my third year of observing some of the Lent rituals, so to speak, right? Um, Lent, of course, is uh uh something that the Catholic Church uh participates in. And I don't care uh where you are in the religious programming of the Matrix, uh whether you hate Catholics, uh whether you were raised a Catholic, whether you're in a non-denominate, what does it doesn't matter. None of that matters. But the practices within that lent um beautiful concept of 40 days, 40 days of what? Literally deciding to do without to deny yourself, but not to deny yourself, to prove to yourself, no, to deny yourself whatever it is that you feel led to stop doing for 40 days, and it it could be anything. It could be, you know, people stop smoking, people uh stop eating certain foods, people stop speaking negativity, uh, people um start really working at work and not being a slacker, you know, all different ways of being, you know, and if you are truly honest, right, and you really know thyself, then you pick something that you know is going to be transformational. And I have been doing this practice for three years now, and it it really brings you closer back home to who we are, and we are the light of God, that's who we truly are. We're not this body, we're not this matrix avatar costume that we chose to put on when we arrived. No, we are actually light, this spark that we have to. Nobody else can do it for us. We're the ones that need to fan that spark back into a holy fire, right? That all being said, the last two weeks um, you know, have been quite the challenge because uh we are now, um, I think I'm in my third week of of Lent. Um yeah, I think that's where I'm at now. I think I believe we have uh 26, 25 or 26 more days before Easter. And I came out the gates, you know, full on. I completely stopped drinking coffee. I um was fasting two days a week. Um sometimes I was fasting um the first two weeks I fasted from eight o'clock at night until seven o'clock the next day. I would go to work and I wouldn't eat anything. I would just drink water, and then I would come home and I would have dinner with my husband. And oh, buddy, you know, I I was all over that. But see, the thing is, the purity, the honesty, the authenticity of who you are has no choice but to surface. And often in the midst of this, you discover that you're not as pure and authentic as you think you are, right? And so the last two weeks I have been in this battle, and part of the battle that we have to remind ourselves is that you know it's just like when you realize your need for Christ. Um, and everybody on the planet is going to be approached with that moment in their life when they realize that everything that they have done, you know there is nothing that we can do better than God. And when we come to that place of reality and realize, you know, every every attempt that I make um is not anything like the awesomeness if I allowed God, if I surrendered my life to God, right? So initially, when you do that, when you realize your need for God, and you you say to him, hey, um, you know what, I I can't, nor do I want to do this by myself anymore. Can you please forgive me for all of my crap and clean me up and and then walk with me through everything, right? Once we do that, well that step in itself puts a big T on the top of your head, on your chest, on your back. You are a marked person now. Because now the enemy of your soul, darkness itself, you can call him Satan or whatever, but you know, uh the the um well we can we can go down so many roads, reptilians and archons and all of that. But basically, let's just blanket it in darkness. And the darkness now recognizes you as someone that has stepped away from the darkness and has stepped now. We like to think that we have completely stepped into the light, but really, come on, let's be be honest. Wherever you are, now, if if you know you've walked with God in genuine authenticity and purity when you were a child, it'd be a whole lot easier. But just imagine, you know, for example, take myself. I was 24, and in 24 years, man, I mucked it up, man. I I lived in the pig sty. I I had all sorts of evil attached to me and and did many things I wasn't proud of, right? So it's a rare person that suddenly, all at once, in one prayer, has all of that stuff taken care of. That's that's really not reality in in the world of spirituality, right? It's a process, it's a marathon. All right, so now the enemy knows, okay, this person is semi-awake. But then what happens over the years, just just like Jesus talked about in his parables, you know, where did the seed land? And if God is something important in your life, you're gonna go through. I I look at that parable, you know, it falls on hard ground or thorny ground or fertile ground. And and I believe, at least I I can't speak for anybody but myself, I believe I went through all of those parable um scenarios, right? And there have been times that even though I knew Jesus was walking with me, he walked with me into horrible places, into really bad decisions, right? But now, where I'm at at 65, and you can do the math, how long I've been walking with the Lord, now it's like without excuse. There are no more excuses. There are things that I have been taught, there are ways of being that I know are best for me. I know uh the voice of God much better than I did when I was 24. And when he speaks and you don't, you know, then it's then it's kind of like the reality becomes, oh wow, it's you know, the sins of commission, okay. Uh I pretty much have that. Um, you know, I I don't do XYZ anymore, but the things that I'm not doing, when you know to do good and do it not, you are also sinning. And those are the sins of omission. Okay, it's kind of like, oh, I know I'm supposed to do this, God, but you know what? I uh I really don't, and so see, when we're in that spot, the enemy's kind of like, ah, cool, I can kind of relax. I don't need to attack this person near as much because you know they're they're messing up themselves. So that's they love that, right? However, when you actually decide to go full blore, so when I entered Lent and I was drawing that line in the sand, I will not do this, and in place of that, I'm gonna pray more. Well, can I just tell you that the attacks on my mind, I I it I I guess your awareness comes to the to the place of much more acuteness, and you're so aware of it. And so I battled for like 10 days. You you want to talk about loop de loop. I mean, man, oh man, it it was just horrendous thoughts. And um I'm gonna talk about that a little bit more um on the next episode. So I had a lot going on, not only in my outer world, but in my internal world, in my thought processes, and I just I just didn't have the capacity to share that. And um I've also discovered that a lot of my lessons come in hindsight, right? And so that's kind of my update of where I've been in the last two weeks, and I wonder. Where you're at, humanity? Where where are you at? In in the marathon of your life. Are you just starting? Are you at the gates? And are you excited to consider putting a new way of life into place? Are you in the middle? Um, are you aware that it's a never-ending dance and a journey, and the destination is literally unknown? Um, does that freak you out? Um do you need to know in advance? Um, that's one of my husband's deals that he's dealing with, you know, he wants to know, and and when he doesn't, uh it fills him with anxiety and uh kind of stimmies him. Um it it it makes him stop in his tracks, and he's working himself through that. Where are you, humanity? Where what issues are you working with? I would love for us to start communicating a little bit more. I would love for you to leave some comments, and I would I would be so honored to share them on the show. So if you would be so kind to drop what you're going through, you know, give me a couple of lines in the comments, and let's begin to make that bridge towards full-on face-to-face communication. Um, I am getting ready to launch some stuff in my community, and um I would love to get to know my audience a little bit better. So, with that being said, please, if this is resonating with y'all, hit the like button so that the algorithm algorithms will rise up and more people have opportunity to hear the show. And speak to me in the comments and let us start expanding the ability to be free to just be. I would love that. And as always, I pray and wish for you to have the greatest health with the highest vibration, and of course, peace.
