The Message Today is-Fearlessly Fearless-

Walking in the Footsteps of Our Ancestors

The Sacred Space for Transformative Agreements

***For translation of the text of the blog: touch the Blue Globe on the top right-hand corner

 I am quietly yet intentionally observing the rising up of women in all areas of our society.  I don’t think people realize and are aware of what has been happening as women infiltrate the spaces that are usually saved for and run by men.  It amuses me because even though I know it was no small thing for we as women to be able to hold positions of power and influence, it seems from the outside looking in, that it has just happened effortlessly and almost in a rather magical way. 

No big recognition and celebrative acknowledgment, just a lot of behind-the-scenes preparation, strategic planning, and their genius at work.  It is so rewarding and inspiring to witness this mobility and accomplishments of women not just sitting at the “Table” or demolishing the “Sacred Ceiling” but actually positioned in places and spaces that impact our lives on a local, national, and global level.

 They bring that uniqueness of their carefully crafted divine gifts to usher into a situation or challenge a perspective that is more deeply in tune to the laws of the universe, and if they have really done the work that they were ordained to do, they bring in a spiritual essence of compromise, compassion, openness to being an “active listener”, and hopefully an sense of humility -not to be confused with a lack of self-esteem and self-love, but just to the point where it allows others to feel that their contributions are worthy of being considered. 

It is truthfully a balancing act that when done authentically and in earnest, has the potential of healing situations that might otherwise seem hopeless.  I am by no means making a blanket statement that all women fall into this category.  It takes a lot of work to come into the purpose for which you are divined to be.  It starts with an awakening to who you are in the eyes of “Great Spirit” and takes a recommitment to be the “YOU” that you were designed to be and then a willingness to step into the footsteps of your ancestors.

We were meant to be  guided and mentored on this path to bring to light not just the potential of who women can be and what women can do to enhance the nature and behavior of our lost and misdirected  humanity, but we are in fact “answering a ‘Call to Action’, that “Great Spirit” is moving in us to fulfill the original design of how humanity should function.  “Great Spirit” is awakening our memory.

We need each other and we need time and space to support each other.  I am proposing that women all over the world start in their families and communities “Women Sacred Circles” where women that are seeking to be in alignment with “Great Spirit” come together to formulate “Transformative Agreements” that speak to how we can nurture ourselves so that we might nurture and support in each other.

I would like to challenge the women in these sacred circles to commune on issues we are facing in their families, communities, their country, and globally and connect the dots as to how the issues that are plaguing us as individuals and as a collective humanity are challenges that have answers if we but work together in harmony and alignment with not just each other but in alignment and in connection with “Great Spirit” who sees all, hears all, and knows all. 

This is how the healing will begin, and we will evolve  as a humanity that is grounded in being our highest selves.  WE are walking in the footsteps of our ancestors, and we are fearlessly fearless.  We know that we are loved and protected by them.  Move in grace and beauty with the genius of your spirit and what can be accomplished is beyond our imagination.

We know that there is a united energy that is trying to silence us and remove us from positions where we are needed, but as the Negro Spiritual says,

“WE Shall Not Be Moved,  We Shall Not Be Moved,

Just like a tree that’s planted by the waters,

We Shall NoT Be Moved”

So, breathe deeply! Close your eyes and visualize something that brings you back into homeostasis with your soul expression.  May today bring you a sense of peace, joy, and moments of feeling loved and validated for who you are and what you are gifting humanity.

Ashé! Have a Blessed Day!

Simple Elements on How to Create a Beautiful World!

Eleven Elements That Are the Ingredients to Sustain Our Humanity- According to the Dalai Lama

***For translation of the text of the blog: touch the Blue Globe on the top right-hand corner

📌 Dalai Lama Quotes: On February 25, 2014 I had the pleasure and honor of hearing the Dalai Lama share his wisdom with us on what we need to be in the world. These are my reflections to his wisdom.

Date: February 25, 2014 

Subject: Dalai Lama Quotes

1. Be kind whenever possible.

1a. (Beth Evans adds: This involves practicing being your highest self which is a life long discipline and promotes mental, emotional, physical and spiritual well being.)

2. In the practice of tolerance one’s enemy is the best teacher.

2a. ( I have an aversion to the word tolerance as being a misfit in terms of the divinity of the human design. I think that compassion for those that live in a space that is not their highest expression and puts them at odds with other fellow “human beings” requires us to step away from fear and judgement and respond with compassion and to hold an intention for them that they release their fear and sense of “not being enough” and embrace the fullness of being loved and accepted for who they have the potential of showing up as”. This is the practice of “allowing”.


3. Love and compassion are necessities not luxuries, without them humanity cannot survive.

3a. (Beth Evans adds: Cultivating humanity in ourselves and supporting it in the growth and development of others is really our divine purpose. The tools of love and compassion not only support humanity on a global level, but leads to a happy and enriched life for those that utilize these tools on a daily basis!)


4. We can never obtain peace in the outer world until we make peace with ourselves.

4a. Beth Evans adds: Peace is a state of mind that wells up inside of us and gives us the ability to live in the present

5. In order to carry a positive action we must develop here a positive vision.

5a.When we carry a positive attitude and identity, we create a positive environment and responses with infinite possibilities for goodness.


6. I am just one human being.

6a. (Beth Evans adds: But imagine that your potential to create beauty, love, joy, peace, justice, compassion, and live a life of integrity is only defined by what you can imagine and commit to manifesting-you could positively impact the world and fulfill your divine purpose!)


7. The roots of all goodness lie in the soil of appreciation for goodness.

7a. We are born into this world as “goodness”  being the identity of our souls. Our roots grow deep throughout  our lives.


8. Our prime purpose in this life is to help others.

8a. And if you can’t help them at least don’t hurt them. 


9. If you want others to be happy practice compassion.

9a. You must first be compassionate and gentle with yourself in order to know how to be compassionate and gentle with others.


10. The best way to resolve any problem in the human world is for all sides to sit down and talk.  

10a. (Beth Evans adds: The art of talking or communicating involves listening attentively with an open and receptive mind. The art of communicating successfully is one of the greatest gifts in the human design. Once activated respect, understanding and compromise come into play which promotes resolution and positive relationships.


11. When you practice gratefulness there is a sense of respect toward others.

11a.We must live our lives from a place of gratitude in order to see the blessings we have received.

So, breathe deeply! Close your eyes and visualize something that brings you back into homeostasis with your soul expression on yet another beautiful sunset of your life’s journey.   May today bring you a sense of peace, joy, and moments of feeling loved and validated for who you are and what you are gifting humanity.

Ashé! Have a Blessed Day!

Our Mantra Prayer for“Humility”.

***For translation of the text of the blog: touch the Blue Globe on the top right-hand corner.

One Divine Creator, One World, One Divine Humanity!

Chapter 51 –from the upcoming book-

Our Mantra Prayers to Quiet the Mind and Inspire the Soul!  

If we but acknowledge the magnitude of what our Creator gave us on this planet, we cannot help but to be humble of “Spirit”!

Our Mantra Prayer for Humility~  

I dream my divine inheritance and in it know who I am. I awaken in humility as more of what “I Am” is revealed in all that I do and all that I say.  Let my actions and words demonstrate a “spirit” of humility that makes me conscious of the presences and importance of others that engage in my life. 

I realize that humility is rooted in gratitude and that in turn my attitude reflects the humility that is seeded in my soul expression.  I understand that when I am humble of spirit, that I am accessible to “Great Spirit” and all the blessings that are infused in my life’s journey.

Our Mantra Prayer for Today:  Humility”

Let the words of my mouth and the actions of my “Soul expression” be given and received from others with humility and gratitude for the blessings engrained in humility.

Ashé! Have a Blessed Day!

Remembering that–We each have our own “destiny purpose” gifted us from birth.

So, breathe deeply! Close your eyes and visualize something that brings you back into homeostasis with your soul expression.  May today bring you a sense of peace, joy, and moments of feeling loved and validated for who you are and what you are gifting humanity.

Our Collective Human Experiences

These are my “Clouds” today. I see them clearly posing their majesty above our human constructs.

***For translation of the text of the blog: touch the Blue Globe on the top right-hand corner

 “Great Spirit, open our eyes to see beyond what is visible, and soften our hearts to receive what cannot be spoken.”

In this world where we struggle to find common ground, common interest, common values and the ability to communicate effectively with one another, maybe this experience or practice of “Cloud Watching”, could be connected to some of the ancient traditions and used as a means of connecting us, or for some cultures, reconnecting us to “Source”.  Maybe it is a simple practice that lends itself to calling us to “Stop”, “Look” and “Listen”, to more nuances of wonder and beauty in our life.

 Maybe we can come to an understanding that “Source” – “Great Spirit” is trying in a multitude of ways to “Get our Attention” or “Show us how we are not alone on this journey, that there is love and protection operating in our life, but that we are not “Still enough” or “Cognizant enough” to recognize and appreciate the signs or messages that are every present with us.

We have to be intentional about making a sacred time and space to go into communion with “Great Spirit” so that we don’t miss the messages or confirmations that “Great Spirit” has for each of us as individuals and as a collective humanity.  I really believe when you live a life grounded in gratitude, everything in you and around you looks and feels different from the super imposed illusional life that the systems and fraudulent elements of this world try to suck us into.  It is living from this vantage point that we find each other and begin to find common ground on which to build a communicative, compassionate and humane humanity. 

Find your sacred space and time today.  Find your “Cloud” to gaze at and in that moment listen for the still quiet voice that rises up within you to communicate with “Great Spirit”.  Trust me, you’ll feel a peace that surpasses all human understanding, and a joy that feeds your soul. 

Remember-“May we remember that we are never separate from the sky above us, only invited to notice.”

So, breathe deeply! Close your eyes and visualize something that brings you back into homeostasis with your soul expression.  May today bring you a sense of peace, joy, and moments of feeling loved and validated for who you are and what you are gifting humanity.

Andean & Mesoamerican Sky Watching-

***For translation of the text of the blog: touch the Blue Globe on the top right-hand corner

“Great Spirit, open our eyes to see beyond what is visible, and soften our hearts to receive what cannot be spoken.”

I think it is important at this point to give a little more context to why I feel “Great Spirit” has put this series in my spirit.  I have been feeling the need to reflect on what ancient cultures understood about the living relationship between our humanity, nature, Spirit, the sky, and the Earth.  As I am learning, many Indigenous traditions had an intuition that clouds were about more than just the “weather”.  They understood and saw that clouds were living messengers, carriers of memory, ancestors, omens, blessings or communications between realms. 

This resonates with something deep within my soul as a memory.  There is a reason the Indigenous cultures like for instance the Andean culture, the Inca Empire, the Quechua peoples, Aymara peoples and even earlier cultures like the Chavin and Tiwanaku cultures of South America had a relationship to the clouds.  Clouds were sacred living spirits.  Beyond the practical life necessity of providing rain for their agricultural needs, clouds represented fertility, renewal, divine provision and ancestral presence.  Unlike us today, they believed unusual cloud formations reflected imbalance between humans and nature.   There was a need for harmony which they saw as sacred and reciprocal between people and creation.  I think this is an element that is missing in our lives today.

Looking back at the Mesoamerican cultures like the Maya and Aztec people, they interpreted clouds as being sacred because they carried water from the heavens to Earth.  Clouds were seen as symbols of mercy, warning, blessings, and cosmic balance.  They saw everything as interconnected so that clouds could signal seasonal changes, ceremonial timing, agricultural preparation and spiritual transitions. 

These cultures and traditions saw humanity as part of nature, not separate from it.  These traditions were rooted in the understanding that clouds were relational, spiritual, communicative and alive with meaning to take notice of. 

I think the point today is that we have separated ourselves from the real relationship we should have with nature and “Great Spirit”.  We have become too “Civilized”- please take note that I feel the word civilized is an attribute that is rapidly vanishing from the character of what humanity should hold.  My intention today is to bring to light that we need to help ourselves and our humanity recover its sacred sensitivity again. 

Children still operate and possess those sensitivities of -wonder, observation, intuitive connection, symbolic imagination and an emotional relationship with nature.  We need to protect that sensitivity instead of suppressing it.  We would be much healthier adults, and our world would stand a better chance of sustainability if we valued that gift of sensitivity to the divine messages that are being sent our way. 

Remember- “that we are never separate from the sky above us, only invited to notice.”

So, breathe deeply! Close your eyes and visualize something that brings you back into homeostasis with your soul expression.  May today bring you a sense of peace, joy, and moments of feeling loved and validated for who you are and what you are gifting humanity.

Look to The Skies From Whence Cometh Our Understanding and Connection to the Spiritual World. The Chinese Cultural Perspective -“Auspicious Clouds”-

Listen-Reflect- Receive

Looking to Our Ancestors for the Answers

“Great Spirit, open our eyes to see beyond what is visible, and soften our hearts to receive what cannot be spoken.”

My Cloud Message Today! Balance and Harmony in Life!

Cultural Perspectives of the Significance of “Clouds”.

Chinese Traditions (Symbolic Meanings)

In the Chinese culture, clouds which are referred to as “Auspicious clouds (祥云) are seen as symbols of good fortune and harmony.  The shapes and artistic formations of the clouds are woven into the art and mythology of the Chinese culture.  Certain clouds reflect the balance of heaven and earth and historically are seen as signs of blessings or transitions. 

Once again clouds are seen as connection to the spirit world sending messages to let us know that we are not living life on just this plane of existence.  This relationship with “Clouds” in the Chinese culture validates their understanding that there is more interfacing in our life experiences then what is seen in the visible world. 

I like that reference to the clouds as being “Auspicious”!  The very meaning of the word lends itself for me anyway, as showing support, protection, and guidance.  I find a sense of peace when I gaze at them.  What amazes me more so now than ever is that they are constantly drawing me to look up at the sky and notice not only their configuration, but their unbelievable beauty.  The energy they emit across the sky, seem for them to be effortless and represents the natural order of the universe. 

The very idea that no matter where you are in this vast world of ours, there they are.  They teach us whether we realize it or not, that we too have the freedom to move, to change the direction and position of our life just like them.  It’s a choice!  It’s a gift! Find a cloud that speaks to you today and move into that graceful energy of endless possibilities.

Remember-“May we remember that we are never separate from the sky above us, only invited to notice.”

So, breathe deeply! Close your eyes and visualize something that brings you back into homeostasis with your soul expression.  May today bring you a sense of peace, joy, and moments of feeling loved and validated for who you are and what you are gifting humanity.

Indigenous & First Nations Perspectives

My Cloud’s View Today! 

“Great Spirit, open our eyes to see beyond what is visible, and soften our hearts to receive what cannot be spoken.”

Today I want us to look to at our Indigenous cultures to see how they related to clouds, and in fact still relate to the phenomenon of “Messages from the Clouds”.  Many Indigenous cultures view clouds as a part of the texture of their life and communicating with the “Natural World”.  In so many of Indigenous cultures they have a great sense of reverence for clouds as they see them as representing their ancestors, spirits, and what they see as emotional expressions of the “Earth”- “Mother Nature”. 

I guess what resonates with my diverse cultural heritage in that, like in some Indigenous cultures, if something in nature catches your attention repeatedly, and draws my attention, I feel compelled to pause and listen inwardly.  There is no need to analyze and dissect what I am sensing, I only need to receive what is being offered in the moment of recognition.   This notion of pausing is what has captivated my interest in this area. 

I see this need and ability of integrating the “moments of pausing from the hustle and chaos of life and our need to create sacred time and space for this ritual.  The pause allows us to generate discernment, intuition, emotional regulation, reverence and spiritual awareness. 

When we set aside time or move in a rhythm of “Being Present in our life”, we become aware of all the beauty, majesty, of the messages that surround us.  “Cloud Watching” becomes meditation, prayer, reflection, communion, and remembrance, of what we need to be in caring for our soul expression. 

In many of the Indigenous and ancestral peoples, there is an intention to pause during very specific times and events.  It is not uncommon for the ritual of Sky Consciousness to take place at sunrise and sunset.  These moments of reflection to sit in ritual will also take place during storms, eclipses, first rain and seasonal changes.  The sky in these expressions is what I call “Nature Cultures”- “Cultures in Sync with “Great Spirit”. They see reflected in the sky and the cloud formations timing, transitions, balance, warning, and blessings. 

These ceremonies support them synchronizing themselves with creation -not dominating it.  This distinction reveals so much of why so much of our humanity is at a loss!  Clouds help us to evoke remembrance, humility, wonder, emotional release, and a more in-depth perspective about life. 

“Remember-that we are never separate from the sky above us, only invited to notice.” Perhaps the message here is to Pause, Look, Listen, and Remember you are part of something vast and magnificent.

So, breathe deeply! Close your eyes and visualize something that brings you back into homeostasis with your soul expression.  May today bring you a sense of peace, joy, and moments of feeling loved and validated for who you are and what you are gifting humanity.

Ancient & Cultural Beliefs About Clouds

This first week we look back on our historical relationship with the “Messages from the Clouds”, as well as the significance of the cloud messages on our cultural values and belief systems.

My Clouds Today

***For translation of the text of the blog: touch the Blue Globe on the top right-hand corner

“Great Spirit, open our eyes to see beyond what is visible, and soften our hearts to receive what cannot be spoken.”

Looking back at the Greek & Roman Traditions- (Divine Signs)

In Ancient Greece and Rome, the sighting of clouds was often seen as expressions of the “Gods” Will.  Zeus and Jupiter were essentially considered to be the “Supreme Sky Fathers.  They ruled the sky so cloud formations, storms, or unusual patterns were interpretated as messages, warnings, or the presence of the “Gods”. Zeus was described as the “King of Gods” and as ruler of Mount Olympus he was the God of the sky, thunder, lightning, law, justice and order. 

The Greeks saw Zeus as both a force of nature and the guardian of morality and social order.  It is interesting to know that across many ancient traditions sky gods like Zeus and Jupiter symbolized elements of what we are still trying to deal with such as –“Divine Authority”, “Cosmic Order”, “The Power of Nature”, “Protection and Judgment”, “Humanity’s attempt to understand forces greater than themselves”, “And the Acknowledgement of the Balance of the Equality of the Masculine and Famine Energy and Identity”. Priest and observers sometimes read the sky alongside of other omens to interpret the messages. 

There is more to this than meets the eye and delving into this series I find it fascinating to see the tread between mythology, planets, days of the week, which was our last series, and spiritual symbolism.  There are patterns and interlocking significance in what “Spirit” is unfolding to us.  The concepts of expansion, wisdom, law and authority, discernment and insight, and spiritual endowment, are all interwoven in this timely era of seeking truth and feeding our soul’s evolution.

 Remember- “That we are never separate from the sky above us, only invited to notice.”

What is your cloud in the sky telling you today?

What did you see?

What does it remind you of? 

If you feel it was speaking to you, what did it say?  

How can you integrate this experience into the texture and context of your daily life?

Does it offer you an answer to something you have been searching for?

Do you get a sense that you are connected to the “Divine”, as you gaze at those clouds in the sky, and that making a sacred space to be in that Presence is giving you a peace, and filling you with love and compassion?

So, breathe deeply! Close your eyes and visualize something that brings you back into homeostasis with your soul expression.  May today bring you a sense of peace, joy, and moments of feeling loved and validated for who you are and what you are gifting humanity.

Look to The Skies From Whence Cometh Our Understanding and Connection to the Spiritual World.

Listen-Reflect- Receive

“Great Spirit, open our eyes to see beyond what is visible, and soften our hearts to receive what cannot be spoken.”

Since perhaps the beginning of time, in probably all the cultures around the world, humankind has always had a sense of wonder and curiosity about the formation of clouds.  Lately, I find myself noticing the clouds and feeling a sense that they carry messages from another realm that is trying to communicate with us. 

I remember from my childhood how we would lie down on the grass and look up to the clouds and describe what we thought the clouds were.  My favorite experience was the night the sky was full of clouds that looked like angels and were moving with such grace that we thought the angels were dancing in the sky just to make us happy.  Right now I have been observing some of the most unusually amazing clouds that I have seen in my life.  Sometimes it seems as though I can reach up touch them and hold them in the palms of my hands.

I am going to do a short series on the attributes and messages that I think the clouds are sharing with us to enhance our lives and give us a since of peace.  I want us to look at the phenomenon of how our cultures and personal interpretations of what we see and value in the cloud messages affect our life journey. 

So, I would like each of us to set an intention to take out a moment every day to “Look Up to The Skies and watch the clouds pass by.  Create a sacred space and a sacred time to “Cloud Watch” as you gaze at them passing by.  I plan on starting a Cloud Journal where I will take pictures of my clouds and record the answers to the following questions:

What did I see?

What does it remind me of? 

If I feel it was speaking to me, what did it say?  

How can I integrate this experience into the texture and context of my daily life?

I am excited about this series because in this day and age I feel like we are reaching back into our history and our multitude of cultures to find common ground in the messages from the world of the unseen. 

So, breathe deeply! Close your eyes and visualize those beautiful, graceful clouds moving across the sky and allow the feeling of the moment to brings you back into homeostasis with your soul expression.  May today bring you a sense of peace, joy, and moments of feeling loved and validated for who you are and what you are gifting humanity.  Relish the moments in your sacred space as your dance with the clouds and allow your imagination to run wild.

Remember-“May we always remember that we are never separate from the sky above us, only invited to notice.”

Well, we have come to the end of this series on acknowledging the “Sacred Elements and Aspects of the Days of the Week”.  It has been a real eye opener for me and definitely a guide in living each day with purpose, grace, and ease.  It has afforded me a new perspective on the value of what each new day provides us in living a life of quality and meaning.   Each day I have realized the necessity of becoming intentional about living in gratitude for these sacred aspects of what each day offers.  Living in this space ensures us that we don’t need to hesitate about being  bold and alive.  There is nothing trite, mundane, or ordinary about each day of your life.

Here we are at Sunday.  It is a new day!  It’s the day of the Sacred Aspects or elements of “Light and Alignment”.  It is the day where with the aspect of illumination we are seeing clearly what truth is being revealed in our “Spirit”.  WE are seeking to be in alignment with our purpose, values, and the “Truth”, that “Great Spirit” places before us.  Nothing and no one can distract us from this alignment or conceal it with untruths.  We know what is right and we know what is wrong and we get a visceral response to lies and deceit. We are returning to the “Light” from whence we come. 

Today, Sunday, we can step out of the noise and confusion of the Worldly World” and take the time and energy to show reverence and gratitude to the “One Source” that is greater than self, but yet in still resides with in us.  WE can relish in the moments of feeling loved and complete.  We feel and accept the knowingness that we are always in the presence of the “Presence” and at this moment it is just about you and your “Creator” checking in!

Then there is that “Peace” that surpasses all understanding where we take deep breaths and allow our soul to exhale.  We make a conscious choice to rid ourselves of shallow breathing because that shortchanges our physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing.  It is not natural and it the after effect of allowing the world to have its way with us. 

This is when renewal comes into play and we step into being self-directed, self-motivated, and intentional about beginning again!  It is the realization that every day is a new day and we are gifted a new beginning.  We now know how to let go and release what is not in our best interest.  So, these 2 Sacred Aspects work hand in hand.  How can we not then be grateful for all of these Sacred Aspects- Elements- Tools -that can navigate our life with purpose, joy, peace, and love-love for self and love for others? 

That brings us to the seventh Sacred Aspect which is the fuel that propels our will to live – “Inspiration” because when we are living in the fullness of life, in the fullness of who we are, and recognize that this co-created  life plan that we signed up for, is beautifully crafted so that we see ourselves as “Great Spirit’s” inspiration, and we receive a vision for what is being gifted our life.  The vision is there you just have to open your eyes to what your soul already  knows. 

So, breathe deeply! Close your eyes and visualize something that brings you back into homeostasis with your soul expression.  May today bring you a sense of peace, joy, and moments of feeling loved and validated for who you are and what you are gifting humanity.

Ashé! Have a Blessed Day!
