Reflections on a Blessed Year In Okinawa

Playing a tuning fork to the seas of Kudaka Island

Each of us are drawn to different parts of the world to live, to visit, and to simply be.

Recently one of my Faery guides spoke to us about "the different lands on the Earth each having their own unique feel, presence, and energy. Each of the different lands had their part to play in the world and acted like small individual components that joined together to create an overall unit."

It sounds very much like a body doesn't it?

My Wife and I

I got married this year and I spent the last year living in Okinawa, Japan, with my wife and stepson, and what a time it was!

It certainly felt like I was away for more than one year, perhaps because I was present at every moment, enjoying each and every single second that I spent with my loved ones; my friends, my family, and the blessed land which I was fortunate enough to be in.

My friend Lucy, from Australia visited Okinawa to facilitate a Mermaid Retreat at some very holy sites.

Appreciate the places that you are fortunate enough to visit and be a part of. Immerse yourself in the local culture, get to know the land, the people, and most importantly, be open to trying new things and learning new things. It may not be very often that opportunities like this come by in life, and it is really important not just from a tourist or visitor perspective, but from a spiritual perspective also.

Saint Germaine has said it before, and he says that "Spirit exists in everything."

There is not a need to cut yourself short of fully enjoying what you are involved in;
Enjoy the people you are with - share the good times, learn the language, appreciate the food and culture.
Enjoy the land that you are in - enjoy the sights, the sounds, the smells.
Enjoy being where you are and what you are doing.

If it happens to rain on a particular day and your plans change, remember that this does not make it a bad day. It simply makes it a wet day. You can make the most of your days if you adapt to the changes that take place.

We had several typhoons in Okinawa, meaning that we had to spend the days inside and all our plans had to change. Well rather than sit around and mope about the weather, I was able to enjoy some quality time at home with my family!

The Universe presents many wonderful opportunities for us, and all we need to do is to be open and receptive to hearing the voice of love and acting from, and expressing our love.

What a wonderful world!

Thank you Universe!

Blessings, love and light,
