The Lord Of The Deep Said Keep Singing

A playful humpback whale breaks the surface at just the right moment and it flips a simple vacation memory into a spiritual signal: keep singing your song until it reaches the people it’s meant for. We start with the energy of the New Moon in Aries and the first lift of Spring Equinox, then weave it straight into the Lenten path of surrender, reflection, and stripping back the ego. The result is a grounded way to think about renewal that doesn’t live only in the sky or only in scripture, but in your body, your choices, and your everyday life.

We talk about why the New Moon feels like a holy “void” where intentions can form in the dark, and why Aries asks for courage instead of permission. We also explore Lent as the wilderness training ground, the place where you learn to hear the still small voice and stop letting fear run the show. Along the way, I share stories from Cabo, a spa reset overlooking the Sea of Cortez, and what I learned from whale symbolism about creative expression, perseverance, homecoming, and nurturing what’s new.

The conversation widens into real life: gratitude in the middle of a Wisconsin snowstorm, serving the community on St Patrick’s Day, and the surprising healing that can come from learning your ancestry and honoring your roots while breaking old chains. We close with a guided meditation using sound and “I AM” affirmations through the chakras, ending in prayer and a clear invitation to step forward as a new creation.

High Energy Welcome And Setting

SPEAKER_02 0:00

Hey yo. Can I get a yes, Lord? Yes, Lord, yes, yes, Lord. Amen. Woo! I love it, need it, gotta have it. Today's a great day to have a really great day. Are you with me? Woo! It's always exhilarating sitting in a seat and being able to share with everybody. I know I'm a fast talker and I got a lot of wonderful things to share. So roll with me here. Y'all, we are in some times right now, okay? Some seriously high vibrational, uplifting, renewing times. Do y'all know what time it is? Do ya? Do you know what time it is? I'll tell you what time it is. You might have some ideas. You might have some things percolating in that sweet brain of yours. It is new moon in Aries, okay? New moon. It just happened. And we're coming up here tomorrow, officially, on March 20th, as the official day of spring. Oh, that just makes me so happy to think of spring and more sunshine and beautiful flowers and the birds chirping and the bees buzzing and all of the beautiful things that are just coming alive and out of hibernation. I want to know what feels alive for you right now. What is alive in your heart, in your mind, and in your soul? Things are happening. And so now is a really good time to bust out the journal, go within, go deep, and do some more reflecting before we step into this awakening here, because we are also in Lent season. The Lenten season is here. You know, the 40 days and 40 nights where Jesus goes into the wilderness to do this reflection, let go of his ego, let go of anything that is not his, that does not come from source or divine, and step into his divine mission and plan and purpose and why he was here to be resurrected for our saving. Because Lord knows we need a lot of saving around here. So I just try to make sense of this all because there is a lot of like cosmic alignment that is happening here. And sometimes it kind of goes hand takes a hand right into the metaphysical world, and which is a new world for me. And I just love doing the deep dive into what it all means as we put the puzzle pieces together and do some reflecting on that. And then, of course, utilizing the tools from the earth and and the musical sounds and instruments that have been provided to kind of aid in that shift or in that transition. So it's all really, really, really good stuff. So I'm excited to delve into you with you. I have some notes and things uh written down, some really interesting concepts here about the new moon, about spring equinox and the Lenten season, and how it all kind of fits together because Lord knows that everything is going according to his divine plan. And it is his plan and your purpose. And that's what I want to be here to help bridge that gap so we can kind of make sense of it all because it's a lot. It's a lot of different energies and it's a lot of different motivations and aspirations that are out there. And I feel like that's what's just so great about the Lenten season right now. It's just kind of, you know, the sacrifice and letting go of what really no longer serves you and stepping into your power. And that's what the new moon in Aries is all about. It's that courage and that confidence to be able to walk into the wilderness alone and being able to step into your power, your full I am embodyant, embodiment for that Christ consciousness. Isn't that crazy? So I just, I'm really myself as I'm going through this transition, just really thinking of what gifts I have and what I bring to the table and what I can share with the world by using the mantra and the prayer of Lord, empty me, fail me, use me. And I just can't help but think that this is my divine purpose. This is my divine mission to share space all for his glory and be able to figure out all of the cosmic alignments that need connecting. It's all about connecting the dots, baby. It's kind of fun and wild. And I don't think there's any like right or wrong answer. And I might be totally off the grid here. And you might be looking at me like, what on earth is this girl talking about? But that's okay. You know, he always has a way of meeting you where you're at. And this is where I'm at right now. And I just feel so called to share it, share this journey, share the knowledge that I'm learning, and you know, use the resources to be able to convey a message. And that message is always of love, peace, and light because that's what our dear Lord and Savior provides for us. I just feel like there's so much brokenness in this world. We're all of sin nature. Of course, you know, I'm very guilty of this. And just being able to recognize that and reconcile with it and do that reflection and that shadow work so we can step on in the light and shine our light and and come in communion together. And I am open to any thoughts, opinions, any high vibrational courtesies that you want to throw my way. I am here for it, baby. Oh, I love it. And I, you know, I want to do a deep dive into the trinity of renewal that I was talking about. But before I go to in too off the deep end for for what that all means, because I have a lot that I want to talk about. I kind of want to just first talk about my recent vacation that I had. Because I feel like this is a little bit easier for me to talk about because I don't have to look at my notes. And I just want to share a little tidbit and insight that I downloaded while I was out in Cabo. So I was really, really excited. You know, as parents of two young children, my kids are 10 and 12. Um, it is hard to get away. And you get caught up in the hustle and the bustle and the grind and you know, your world revolving around your children, which is such a beautiful thing and such a blessing. And of course, I do it with a grateful heart. I mean, they are my best creation in co-create co-creation with God. And I am doing my best to be an awesome parent, but I have no fear and in total faith that I am not to guilt myself on spending a couple days away from them. So my husband and I went to Cabo San Lucas for our annual adult-only vacation. And boy, I tell you, it was necessary. I went into it with such an open mind. We we do get together at least once a year. This time it was only four nights, five days. Uh, sometimes we go for the full week. One time our longest time away was in Sicily, and that was 10 days, and that was hard. I think that was hard on the kids, and that was hard on us. So we decided to tone it back this year and just go for the five nights. Do a little, do a little getaway into Cabo, San Lucas, which was kind of a little sketchy right now, considering what's happening with the El Mancho and the cartel and all of this that's happening in Mexico. I some people hear Mexico and they're like, wait, what, you're going? And I'm like, yeah, we're going in. Like, I am not succumbing to this fear-mongering. I know what's happening there is a real situation. But let's be honest, like, we're gonna be, if you go looking for trouble, you're gonna find it. And that's gonna be anywhere in the world. So we're gonna stick to the resort, we're gonna stick to the paths well traveled and you know, spend some quality time together. So that is exactly what we did. And it was a wonderful, wonderful vacation. Just being able to be in the presence of my hardworking husband and, you know, not be nagging on him about the honey-to-do list or the chores or talking, you know, constantly about the kids and their schedules and where they need to be, where he needs to be, where we need to be. But it was just nice just to be, just to be together, soak up some good old vitamin D and reconnect. It was fun. We had a couple massages that we that we decided to embark on. And I decided to upgrade my massage to 50-minute massage to an 80-minute massage. I'm like, all right, while I'm in there, while I'm in this headspace, I'm going for it. I'm going for the full 80 minutes. Let's go. And Danny's like, oh no, no, no, no. Like, massage is already like, it's not something I do regularly. Like, I am just going for the 50 minutes. And I'm like, okay, okay, if you just want to do the 50 minutes, if that's what you're comfortable with, that's what you should do. But I'm still doing the 80 minutes. But at Ireneware, we were able to enjoy these wonderful massages together. Well, going in together, and they had a hydro spa that you were to enjoy beforehand before you go into your room. We didn't do it. Couples were together in a room. We kind of went our separate ways after the hydro spa. But the hydro spa was a whole nother lovely thing. Oh my goodness, it has the dry sauna, the steam sauna, the cold plunge, and these different like hydrotherapy jets that and pools that you would sit and simmer in, which was super amazing and great for my body, mind, and spirit, I must say. Yes, indeed. So you do that beforehand and then you leave to go in the massages. And I had a wonderful massage. The lady that was working on me was super mindful and and just put the perfect amount of pressure that you know I requested. And it was so sweet. She like whispered to me before the massage began, and she was like, You are worthy. And I was like, Yes, queen, yes, yes, I am. Thank you for giving allowing me permission to completely relax in this. I just love that. So that happened and had an epic massage. But where I want, where I'm going with this is that after the massage, I had a moment to myself. So they set you up on this nice like lounger, and you're in your in your robe. And I think they put like a heat, a heating pad around your shoulders, your neck, and they poured some wonderful tea, hot tea for me, uh, with like a little lemon wedge, and it was tasted super fresca or fresh, and it just was just lovely. And I'm sitting there in this lounge chair overlooking the Sea of Cortez, the beautiful ocean out in front of me. I can't even put this view into words. It was like next level amazing. It was just like, it looked like an infinity view or something, and it was just like blah-down. There is the beautiful ocean. And what I haven't told you yet is that it is whale season. The whales come back into the warm waters of Baja California or the Sea of Cortez, and they have their calves, they have their baby whales. So to be there in this moment of time, to be able to witness the whales was just truly spectacular. And to have that view, I mean, anytime you looked out into the ocean, you were seeing the whale activity. It was a full-fledged happening when we were there. And you would see like blowholes and flippers and the pods all traveling and moving together. And while I was sitting in that lounge chair looking out into the CA Cortez, just blissed out from my massage and feeling super grateful, had so many feelings of abundance and just appreciation uh to be there in that moment and sharing it with my loved, my my loved one who we've we've come so far over the almost 20 years we've been together. It was just really lovely. But I had this moment of solace and together, and the universe always provided. God sent me a sweetest gift when I was sitting in that lounge chair, and it was one of a spunky, playful, humpback whale. And this one was special because it felt close to me. I felt connected to it, and it was close enough where I could clearly see it. It wasn't like off in the distance, like I wasn't looking super far away. Like it was right there close to shore. And it was having so much fun in the ocean. You could just tell it was being very playful. It kept resurfacing and emerging from the water, and it would jump up and then go back down, jump his sweet little head up and splash down. Jump up, slash down, jump up, slash down. And that happened for the entire, my entire like viewpoint from the spa vantage view. And I got to see it from like the very start of like my right hand side cross all the way across the stage or across the sea where I was seeing, and then to see it, you know, swim past where I couldn't see him anymore. And the whole time jumping up and jumping down, jumping up, jumping down, I was like, oh my gosh, he's so playful and wonderful. And I just felt so connected to the whale that I wanted to do a deep dive of the spiritual meaning of a whale. It, you know, it said in you know, a lot of the times that the divine source energy speaks to you through nature and being able to recognize this, identify this, and that inner knowing that we're all connected just is so significant for me. So I really wanted to kind of dive in and see, you know, kind of what what it all really meant. And I honestly just feel like that whale encounter was just was just divine. And it was meant to be. And here's what I found about the whale encounter is that you know, the humpback whales communicate through their song, and you know, they're singing underwater, and that's how they communicate with each other. And that power of your song, the power of song, our song or our truth is just can travel miles through the darkness and find the right audience. That's what I found, and it really deeply resonated with me. I've been on a musical adventure and you know, rambling on and singing my song, and I just love to connect that to the whale and that experience and being like, wow, it's just telling, telling a reminder to keep singing your song, keep speaking your truth, keep shining your light, and that will resonate with the right people at the right time. And so I was super grateful for that sweet message. And also the humpback whale is you know, can really bring about your creative expression and finding your voice. And I just had to really giggle and laugh because this podcast has been just that. You know, like getting better at speaking into the microphone and delivering a message and staying on point and or or not, but just being okay with that because that's my truth. And I just love that the whale almost like gave me permission to be able to keep on keep on swimming, just keep swimming, just keep swimming. I'm channeling Dory from finding Nemo, but that creative expression that the whale represents is just so joyous and just so authentic. And that also really resonated with me and where I'm at right now. I just keep creating, no matter what you do. We are creators, we are we are creative beings and we're here. Everything that we create sends ripples and waves and has a huge effect on the universe, whether we're aware of it or not. So I feel like that was just a powerful remembrance of our reason why we're here. And that was powerful for me as well. And then also with the homecoming for the whales, where they're coming back to the warm waters of Baja California, it was all about perseverance. And I just thought about the journey that the whales travel on throughout the year and to come back there and find their way back and keep persevering through whatever the sea, the wild Elmar throws at them, but they still always find their way back home. So that was another sign of perseverance for me. Sometimes, you know, just relating it back to this podcast of kind of like, well, geez, you begin to question it. You get in your own head and like, well, what am I really talking about? What am I doing? What's the purpose? And it's just like, no, just keep swimming, persevere. That's what it's all about. I mean, Jesus always just asks you to just take one more step. Just take one more step, keep persevering and try not to let your ego take over. And so that whale was just another beautiful reminder of that. And I loved it. And so also with the homecoming of the whales, it's all about the rest and recover and birthing of new ideas. And I feel like that's what I was doing there in Cabo with my husband. You know, we were taking a moment to re-re rest and reset and recover from all the wild tussle and bustle that we're thrown into in our daily lives, as we all are. I'm sure we can all resonate with that on some kind of level in this fast-paced world and society. And, you know, keep creating again that creative expression, that birthing of the new ideas. That's what the whale really represented for me. And I've also found it very interesting that the whale has been dubbed or known as the Lord of the Deep, which is kind of interesting as well. Just, you know, talking, you know, I'm here obsessing and so passionate about our dear Lord. And I was directly communicating with the Lord of the Deep. What? Like you cannot make this stuff up, okay? And I just loved, you know, kind of the resurfacing metaphor here too, as we kind of went, you know, close to, you know, everything. It's okay to do that deep, dark reflection, but you always resurface with some new insights. And I can relate that to what I'm going to talk about here today with the new moon and the shadow work and the reflection and resurfacing here in the spring equinox with a new expression and new insights and a new path path forward that we can persevere, persevere through. So that's really exciting all of in itself. And honestly, for me to be able to even think that this whale was communicating something spiritually to me was just a natural recognition, a great and grand gesture, a wonderful reminder that I am not just an observer, but I am part of it. We are all connected. And that whale's life is just as important as mine. And I just felt I felt it really connected to that whale in that moment. And if we could, I feel like we've seen eye to eye. Like it was like an understanding of like, yes, like this is this is where we're at. And and you know, the search is over. It was just another wonderful reminder that I'm I no longer feel the need to be searching, searching, searching, searching, lost and and lonely and searching in this world. Because sometimes that's how sometimes that's how I can feel. But my search has been over the moment I accepted Jesus Christ as my savior and leaning into the new notion for me, then because this this religion is all new to me, that faith is all I need. Faith is all you need. Just gotta have faith. Step by step, day by day, lead me, Lord. That's what I pray. So it was a wonderful thing, thing. And, you know, with the humpbacks coming there to take care of their young and you know, not only birth, but take care of their young. I also took that as like nurturing my new self, nurturing this passion. Nurturing and tending to this fire and not letting anyone dim my shine because that is not what we are called here to do in this life. No way, Jose. We are called to shine bright because we are so reminded that we are so, so loved and so divinely cared for. And that whale moment was just a wonderful reminder again of yet how I want to live. And that is in awe and wonder of his work. And that is the invitation for you to do so as well. Anyone that's out there listening, I feel like it's really here on purpose that we're sharing this frequency together. And, you know, the answer is yes. It's so much more fun to say yes. Say yes to the self-discovery, the shadow work, the renewal, the observation, the just the remembrance, the unlearning and remembrance, and knowing that you are divine and chosen, and that you can't mess it up. I cannot mess this up. No matter how hard I try, know how many sins I make, know how many mistakes I have. And that is the power of the mighty name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus, I was able to reconnect with that my spiritual path and another reminder and assurance that I indeed am on the right path. And it is in an ultimate, you know, letting go of the surrender. You know, I've worked on surrendering and I'm still working on surrendering and knowing that it's not my plan and really just staying in the moment. I feel like we're all so often, you know, yes, you have to have goals. Yes, plans are good. Yes, vision boards are amazing. Do that. You know, I'm not saying that, you know, just go totally willy-nilly here because, you know, you it you really do have to persevere and put in the work, but I just that that trust that's there. And that just keeps growing and strengthening as I build my relationship with God. And it has been such a beautiful thing. And I I'm happy that you're able to witness it here with me. And I'd love to be able to love to be able to witness it here with you. And that was another thing as part of this Lenten journey. I've been listening to this app called Hollow. And I shared it in the beginning, and it's had some wonderful interviews. It really kind of mixes it up throughout the week for the daily, the daily readings that it it provides. And one of the readings there this week was about sharing your gifts. And I feel like kind of a broken record. I've been talking about sharing your gifts a lot, has just been super ingrained into me as I discover and explore and create these gifts and and and have the courage to share them. But it was just just no matter, it was saying like no matter how small or little or or or tiny what we have to bring to the table, again, you know, we are only human. I know my offering is not much, right? Not when I'm comparing, not that I want to compare, but not when I think of our God. I know it is not much. I am only but dust in the wind, only a wheat in in the fields, a wheat grain granule in the field. But he calls us to bring what we have, whatever that is, and step out and share it. Even if it's just a smile, even if it's just a single word of encouragement or acknowledgement, we have so many opportunities throughout the day to choose different and do better, and be able to speak truth and and lightness and and beauty in this world, and that will make waves, ripples, it could make tsunamis in someone's life, and you don't even realize it. But here's the best part, friends, and it has nothing to do with you, it is everything to do with him. And I couldn't I could be saying something completely different right now than what you're hearing. But before I start these, I just ask him to empty me, fill me, use me, and whatever way he sees fit. And so here I am, stepping out and talking about Jesus. Something I never grew up doing, something that I told was kind of like a no-no. That we don't we don't talk about religion in in these certain settings.

SPEAKER_00 27:13

And not having that foundation has brought me to some questionable times in a place where my heart wasn't full, I was not living in and wonder, and didn't really feel like I had a purpose, and that has all changed.

SPEAKER_02 27:37

That has all changed, and that is all because of some beautiful angels that have come to me in my life, and that and you are one of those beautiful angels, is when I look into your eyes, I see a child of God, and I'm an on wonder of the beautiful destiny you are gonna fail.

Snowstorm Stories Family And Gratitude

St Patrick’s Day Service And Memories

SPEAKER_02 28:08

Okay, that got really deep, really bold, really beautiful, really wonderful, but that's a vulnerability I want to bring here, and it all came from the whale. Oh, nature. And that's why I feel like spring equinox is so exciting to me because it is like the awakening of all the beautiful nature out there right now. I know I'm seeing peaks of it, you know, the melting of the snow. We just had a snow apocalypse here in Wisconsin. Oh my goodness, I lost power. Who out there lost power for like more than 24 hours? My house was, you know, my degrees were dropping down. Thank goodness for my lovely neighbor, Nan, that took us in at her uh her land property and was the our children were able to play together, and she had, you know, the the Lord always provides, and she had just went grocery shopping. She was ready. I mean, my goodness, how sweet of her to offer up her space like that to us. And we just had the best time in what could have been a cold, dark evening for Miss Nivea and I. Meanwhile, my husband Danny and Nixon were out hitting the slopes in Upper Granite Peak, Northern Wisconsin, and then traveled up to Hurley too, and were able to ride the fresh powder up there. Lo and behold, uh, we they called off school on Monday. So we didn't even have to miss any school. But how awesome is that? I just love to see that passion that Danny, you know, brings to the table with his athleticism and talents to sports and passing that on to our children. Uh, who knows? Maybe next year Nixon will get to ride the deep pot with Daddy O out in Steamboat, Colorado. God only knows, God willing, he'll be able to do that. But now he's got a little taste of it. He had so much fun, he loved it. He's like, Dad, let's go again. That was awesome. And I love that quality time that they have gotten to spend together. It's so, so sweet. And while the snow apocalypse was happening, happening, Nevi and I had got to drive up to Baraboo, where she was able to compete in gymnastics with Hartford gymnastics team. And she did really good. She got second on her floor routine, I believe sixth overall, which wasn't her best showing. She flew off the bars. And I thought she was gonna really hurt for herself, but she got right back up, right on those bars and finished her routine. But I'm really just proud of her because she is just so athletic and flexible and dynamic in her showing there, stuff that I would never even dream about doing when I was a child. So I just feel like a lot of this is just building up into something beautiful and wonderful. And I'm here for it, Jesus. Okay, one day at a time. I'm just saying yes to whatever you throw my way. And the answer is yes. But but how I digress into all this wild wonderfulness. Oh, and I want to talk a little bit about Cheryl's Club 175 St. Patrick's Day celebration. I got on the old, got on the horse. I haven't done a bartending shift. Well, it hasn't been too, too long. Uh, but it was so good to get behind the copper top uh on St. Patrick's Day and wear green and serve it up to the community in that way. And that's just a different form of service for me being out behind the bar and you know, sharing a smile with our guests and seeing the dance floor going, people out there enjoying each other's company, enjoying the wonderful music. And shout out to the Gradient, which is the band that was there that day that kept the good vibes going all the while. And it was nice and warm at Cheryl's Club compared to outside. It was 15 degrees on St. Patrick's Day and 2026. And there were people that went out and kept that parade going and showed up and showed out despite the cold weather. Kudos to you. My goodness. I was like, I must be getting old because we just didn't do it this year. Normally we do a whole bus and a float, and I just didn't really align. I don't know how else to say it. I don't want to sound like a brat and be like, well, I just didn't feel like it. But truly, just listening to my inner voice, I was like, it's just, I'm just gonna take the year off. It's on a Tuesday this year, it's on a Wednesday next year. We'll probably just take the next couple of years off and come full back steam ahead on Friday. But I was reminiscing to the times when in my 20s, a heller high water, we were at that parade. It wasn't even like a shadow of a doubt of whether or not we were gonna be in attendance and bring busloads of people to the parade to party on. Oh my goodness. And I was also giggling, one of the traditions that we would do at the Erin Parade was hand out over a thousand pre-rolls, joints from of hemp at the parade on St. Patrick's Day. And it was always the most fun handing people a joint that were parade goers and being like, here you go. And they'd like look at it. They'd be like, we'd like try to put it with some kind of coupon or a sticker so they would know that it was with DNA hemp. So of course if they wanted to repurchase, they knew where to where to go. But we're always like, share with your buds, pass the dube. And people are like, look at this joint and be like, what is this? Like, did we just really get handed a joint? Like, yes, yes, you did. So I wonder if anyone missed us this year. Like, if they're like, Where's the joints? Where's the joint, ladies? Like us lassies, we'd have a whole crew of the high vibe tribe out there handing out all these sweet joints. And then, of course, Cheryl's Club would come through with the jello shots, like thousands of jello shots. It took quite the preparation to make. Shout out to our team at the club that would always put in the work. Um, but yeah, it was quite the preparation. So it was just nice to kind of have a reprieve this year. And, you know, what was the beauty of it was that people just came to us at Cheryl's Club. And that was great too, because I love to see their bright, shining, beautiful faces and all the laddies and lassies. And I said, Top of the morning to you quite a few times. And I even did a little Irish jig there. Mm-hmm. Yes, I did. But then it got me thinking of like my mom would always say, She, you know, my mom is the Irish queen. Okay. Like she goes all out on St. Patrick's Day. And she would speak, the there are those who are Irish, and then there are those who wish they were Irish.

SPEAKER_01 34:58

And I always had to giggle at that because I'm like, well, you know, we do have the luck. We do the luck of the Irish, and that's just in our blood.

Heritage Ancestry And Breaking Chains

Trinity Of Renewal New Moon Equinox Lent

SPEAKER_02 35:06

That's what I'm affirming into the universe here right now. Uh, but I always just had to giggle at that. And then it got sent me down this whole like train of like heritage and where we come from and knowing, you know, what's your lineage, where those that ancestry and that history that is passed down most of the time orally. But now we have ancestry.com. So I really just urge the people that have grandparents and you know, aunts and uncles, mothers, fathers to fill them in on their history. Where did you come from? Unless you're native and you were born, you know, here in the Americas, you came from somewhere else. Most likely, if you're in the Midwest here, you got some German in you. I'm just making that judgment, but I mean, I can be very, very wrong. I'm not saying everybody, but there is a lot of people of German and Irish descent dwelling in the Midwest. I think that is, you know, just a generalized statement, but it holds true. I myself am German, Irish, and Hungarian. My mother on my mom's side was pure Irish, and she married a German fellow, Ozzy, Ozzie and Irma. And then on my father's side, my grandmother was pure Hungarian, which I will go there one day and check that out. And my grandfather was German. And so you mix that all together, and you got the German, Irish, and Hungarian lassian, which I am. And then I, you know, had children with my Danny baby, who is German and Scottish. So my kids got a little scot in them, which is super sweet. But yeah, it's kind of just fun to trace the origins. And I was telling the kids on the way to school uh the other morning for St. Patrick's Day, you know, my daughter was like, I can't wear green, I'm not wearing any green. I'm like, you're wearing green, you are Irish, and she ended up wearing some green. And then I showed her the pictures of her and Nixon when they were little. And I'm like, see, look, like you guys always dress up. It's a whole vibe. You have the hats and the bracelets and the ties and the boas and you know, all the things to celebrate your heritage because it is really worth something celebrated, just like that knowing of where you come from. So I highly recommend if you can collect some of these wonderful stories, these oral traditions, these histories, this ancestry that you have, it just again, it kind of fills a place in your heart that you didn't even know was not whole. So urge you to do that. Figure out where you came from. If you don't know, you need to know. And especially, I mean, I have no grandparents left. You know, rest in peace. Ozzie, I never even met M. I don't remember meeting Irma. I had Walter here for a while, and Hilda, great grandma Hilde, who is my fairy uh godmother, who is my garden fairy. So if I ever need help in the garden, she's the one to ask because it was a different time back then. And so I could go down the rabbit hole of explaining all the beautiful gardens and compost piles and how she was like a homesteader, an OG homesteader back in the day, because that's just how it was. I was explaining that to Nivea, and she could tell she was kind of like, What? Like, this is even crazy to wrap your head around right now. But have I not told her and share her these things, she would never know, right? And I don't know that so much that she cares right now, but one day she will. And I hope it is documented here on this podcast so she can listen back to this, maybe. Who knows? It'll get lost in the cloud. God only knows, one day at a time. But I do think it's really important to kind of know where where your heritage is. And that's why St. Patrick's Day has always just been a blast for me because it's just that reminder of like where where I come from and and and those roots. And, you know, honestly, breaking chains, breaking chains that and they say 13 generations of your ancestral like DNA is embedded in you. And if it's something that you don't like, maybe it's really hard to break it off because it's been passed down from generation to generation. But that's the promise that, you know, again, God gives you is that today is a new day and it's a new dawn and you are a new creation, and we're here to create a new path forward in our highest and best per usual. So I know I'm getting kind of wordy here. We're already by 40 minutes as onto this live podcast airing, but I really wanted to talk about the Trinity of renewal. You know, the new moon, which is like all that wonderful eternal work, internal work that we're doing. It represents the void, the quiet space before creation and setting intentions in the dark. That's where we're at right now with this lunar cycle that we're experiencing. And that is new moon in Aries, which is, you know, Aries, where did I have that? Is like the courageous, the courageous person, the power, the leadership, the force. That's what Aries represents. It's the the I am sacred mantra in Aries that is really ringing true for us here right now. And then you couple that with the spring equinox, which is really like the external elements and what's going on outside of us. And it represents the balance, the return of light and the physical manifestation of life. And that is in the astara or the airy season. And then, I mean, by no mistake, are we in the full Lent Jesus season right now, where you know, Lent represents the 40-day wilderness experience that Jesus had, stripping away the ego and preparing for the resurrection. Okay. Isn't that amazing? So, I mean, there's a lot of conscious connections that are happening right here. And honestly, the seed is really the metaphor here in the new moon and in the subconscious mind. And we'll use the parable of the sour or the concept of the grain of wheat to kind of connect all this here in John 12, 24 to bridge these worlds. And it's the descent, you know, just as a seed must be buried in the dark earth or the new moon to grow, Jesus' journey through Lent and the Holy Week is a descent into the earth of human suffering. Okay. And then we have the quickening here, the equinox. It's the moment the seed cracks open. And, you know, I want to discuss how this Christ consciousness isn't just a historical event, but an annual internal process of waking up from winter of the soul. So that inner reflection and then being able to bring that shine that outward from our internal world, portrayed in the external world. And that's such a beautiful thing. That is such a beautiful thing. So Lent is often seen as a somber time, you know, to this inner reflection, this shadow world. We're going within. And that's what the new moon's new moon embodies as well. It's the manifestation period. Okay. We're we're sacrificing and we're letting go of things and we're calling what we want in. And that new moon, you know, it just signifies that purity and that blank slate that we are gifted with. And it's just like, how can we use this Lenten fasting as a way to clear the signal for new intentions? And the equinox or the equilibrium is finding the balance between our human needs and our divine consciousness. So that's all about balance right there. And you know, Jesus in Lent, he's the master, he portrayed mastery over the shadow. He was in the desert and is the ultimate example of sitting in the dark mute moon and refusing the devil or the egoic temp temptation. Not today, devil Jesus demonstrates that. Okay. And the equinox is the zero point of the zodiacal year. You know, the zero Aries. So this has kind of got alpha and omega energy. And I just kind of want to draw that in to Aries being represented as the Ram. And Lent, you know, Jesus is the lamb. So it's kind of crazy because, you know, Lent, we think of, you know, the Lamb or Jesus as he sacrificed his life, of his purity, of his innocence up there, as he really did nothing wrong and nothing to deserve his crucification on the cross. And then we think of then the ram that. Which season we're in right now of Aries and the power, the leadership, the force. And it really, as I said before, it's the courage of a pioneer to walk in the wilderness alone. So that's kind of wild. It's in the Aries that I am, the Christ consciousness, the sacred mantra here. And it's really an evolution of the sacrificial lamb to the resurrected ram. The sacrificial lamb to the resurrected ram. Let's go. That's some really good energy there. And that's why I think this is all connected. Are you with me? Are you are you picking up what I'm throwing down? Okay. I am going to do a little meditation here with you after I go through this. And I'm hoping that with the use of the chimes and our I am affirmations that I'm going to share with you, we'll really root into this goodness. The equinox creates a cross in the sky, y'all. Okay. It actually creates a cross for the four directions. And you can relate by taking up of one's cross, okay, to the responsibility of being a bridge between heaven, spirit, and earth matter. You are that bridge. Okay. You are that bridge as you are a steward of your life. You are a steward of the land, and you are a steward of this Christ consciousness and spreading the awareness because we're supposed to be fishers and men, right? And the light versus dark, as the days become longer and the nights and the equinox, we transition from the via negative, the path of letting go in Lent, to the via positive, the path of celebration in Easter, of the resurrection, baby. We're coming back in that ram-like energy in Aries. So if Lent is the winter of the spirit, what are you clearing out to make room for the equinox sun? I want you to sit with that for a little bit. What are you clearing out? What are you sacrificing? What are you letting go? And how does the quiet of a new moon help us hear the still small voice that Jesus followed into the desert, harnessing that energy to hear those voices?

SPEAKER_00 46:13

Meditation really helps.

SPEAKER_02 46:15

And are we brave enough to stay in the darkness of the new moon long enough for our consciousness to truly shift?

SPEAKER_00 46:31

So since the new moon represents the seed and the equinox represents the sprout, we have the resurrection Easter that cannot happen without the quiet, dark work of the new moon.

Guided Meditation I Am Affirmations

SPEAKER_02 46:49

I love that. Some powerful stuff. And I feel like sometimes we we're always trying to bridge the gap between the metaphysical world and the spiritual, you know, the spiritual realm of Christ consciousness. And this is how we do it. We can make these connections. It's all written. It's all his creation, it's all his divine purpose. And we can't, you know, read too much into it, but we can certainly ponder upon it. And maybe that'll help you connect with spirit, helps me connect. So here we go into this beautiful, wonderful awesomeness.

SPEAKER_00 47:22

I do have my heart chakra crystal sound bowl here to kind of start things off and get our heart chakra energy moving about. I invite you to close your eyes if you want and listen. Be gentle with yourself. Be still and know. I'm going to grab a couple other tools here. So we have here the I am Aries initiation. Close your eyes. Close your eyes. Breathe into your root chakra. Feel the red cooling earth of the Lenten desert. For weeks you have walked this wilderness. You have fasted from ego. You have stripped away who you thought you were. In this new moon darkness there is holy silence. This is the void, the zero degrees of Aries. It is the moment before the Big Bang of your own soul.

SPEAKER_02 48:45

And as the sun crosses the celestial equator into the fire of Aries, let these ancient I am frequencies ignite your chakras.

SPEAKER_00 48:57

Don't just hear them, feel them as your own identity. At the root, Jesus said, I am the bread of life. Feel your foundation become solid. You are nourished. You are safe. At the sacral. I am the vine. Feel the sap of spring rising. You are connected to the flow of all creation. At the solar plexus. I am the light of the world. This is your Aries fire. The darkness of winter is over. Your will is divine will. At the heart, the equinox balance. I am the good shepherd. You are both the protector and the protective. You are in perfect balance. At the throat. I am the way, the truth, and the life. Speak your Aries truth. Your words create your reality. At the third eye, I am the resurrection and the life. See past the dead things of your past. See the bloom of your future. At the crown. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. You are one with the source. Now speak your own Aries. I am. Under this new moon in this Lenten clearing, what is being born? I am creator I am courageous. I am new. I am Christ consciousness. Aries doesn't ask for permission to exist. It simply is. As you move through this equinox, remember that Lent wasn't about making you smaller. It was about clearing this space so that the I am within you can finally have room to breathe. The energy that you might feel today is the compression before the expansion. The new moon is the in-drawn breath, and the equinox is the exhale. These are some wonderful Aries actions that I invite you to explore further. See what comes up. And remember that you are beautiful, you are worthy, you are chosen, and you are loved. And I thank you so so much for spending the time here with me today. Until next time, my friends. Please forgive me. Thank you. And a sweet little prayer of dear Lord Jesus, empty me, fill me, use me. All for your glory, of course. With a grateful heart, an open mind, open ears, soft tongue, and of course an open heart. We exist together to create a wonderful utopia. Anything is possible. Much love.
