Two days ago Winter Wonderland put on quite a show before my bedazzled eyes as I wandered in sugar spun delight. No matter where my eyes turned, I saw divine royalty that stopped my breath. I wandered hither and thither within these Courts of Love, flowing with love emanating from every branch, every precious molecule of air, from the clouds in the sky, from every snowflake beneath my feet, and even from my own breath. I became ONE with All around me. Slowly and deeply I breathed heaven into me.
Heaven. White heaven. How lucky I AM to be in heaven.
For more then two hours I was captivated by how Mother transformed Herself into jaw dropping astonishing beauty. For the first time in a long while, I left my home early, resulting in more “magical moments” for myself then I’ve had for quite some time. I took oodles of pictures, transfixed as I was by all the Glory surrounding me. I do believe my head was bumping up against the clouds and my feet? Gee, what feet? Oh, those cold ones ….. those. Honestly I did not care for I knew cold feet or not, I was walking on Sacred so Holy and Pure.
I’ll keep the writing short as I would like for you to focus more on proof that heaven on earth does exist. And as a bonus, I was able to capture not one but two birds, a Bluebird and a Downy Woodpecker. Both were in the same tree so I captured two birds in a relatively short period of moments. Who knew exactly how long I was there for the flow I was surrounded by found me, within much of this experience, standing still as a statue with only my eyes roving to find those birds I could hear but still having to find. And then those moments when I found the clearing in order to get a clean shot. Do you know how many branches get in the way between said bird and my camera? Does that stop me? Nope!
Do enjoy and please take the time to allow Mother to minister to your Soul. Allow her the grace to come in so you feel Her Absolute Love She has for all who open the door to Her. Winter Wonderland …

Winter Wonderland indeed — gorgeous photos, Amy! I’m mesmerized by all that snow … and the birdies are two I’ve never seen close up. Snow is kind of like rain — it seems to purify whatever it falls upon. Of course, snow feels more peaceful to me, and I love how it blankets the earth with powdered sugar beauty!

Slowly and deeply I breathed heaven into me
These words above of yours became my felt experience. And I immersed myself in it – such richness and peace I felt within. The birds are messengers of the beauty of life – such gorgeous pictures. While I wandered through the experience from picture to picture, what became very evident to me is the presence of pathways – there are pathways in this heaven that are available for us to choose from.

Hmmmmm I do believe I told you, Prag, that a special story is coming. It still is. I just follow the guidance of my heart and this post was created to my surprise. I’m touched that you really get me and understand what purpose I am undertaking by posting what I do. Yes there are pathways to heaven and it is up to us to choose which one is for us. Some of the footprints you saw were mine. (smile) Yes I really left my energy for those coming after me. May your day be truly blessed. Sending so much love and peace to you! xo

I actually wrote something about the footprints and deleted it – I felt I didn’t need to mention them, they were part of the pathway. So I am delighted that you mention them 🙂
As a side note yet again, I am totally inspired by how you own it that your energy matters and you make a difference to those coming after you – I checked into myself and I ‘know’ I am in service similarly but just wouldn’t say it aloud, I would do it secretly and walk away as if it doesn’t matter – I wonder of the growth I need to be able to feel it and say it that yes it matters. I am still learning the fine line between humility and self worth. You are showing me the pathway between the 2. Much Love & Gratitude.

I actually saw this comment yesterday but yesterday was just one of those days! Yes my energy matters as does yours and just take my word for it, when you realize this, it just automatically unfolds. It’s effortless. It happens whether you know it or not. But when you own this truth, you can actually increase its power with intention and just the way you present yourself. Self-worth is humility for when you embrace that understanding you know the extent of ALL that occurred to get you where you are. Ego has nothing to do with this. As you step confidentially into owning your energy, your power, people will react to your differently. Don’t put too much thought into this. Just FEEL and ACT as though you’ve owned your power. And voila, it just happens. The beauty unfolds effortlessly ……

Oh, Julie, I kept meaning to get back to you. So sorry!! YES!!! One word I neglected to say to you in describing your energy is HOME. I know.

Thank God it was not my nose she hit because it would have been crushed. And because I am so in tune with her, I sensed the blow coming and moved FAST so that the impact would not be full on. This horse weighs 2 tons. Yup, big head! I’m going to have a lovely bruise on my face. Even this is HOME. LOL You are welcome for the magic. Golly I have so many more to show!! I’ve been praying for you with your new job. I meant to say that too. Sending you much love and peace, dear friend. xo

Awesome photos, as usual, Amy. I realized I hadn’t been getting notices of new posts by you. For some reason, WP seems to only notify me of new posts by a few of the bloggers I follow. Bad WP! So I decided to go looking for all my friends. I’m happy to see you still on here – so many of my WP friends have simply faded away over the last year or two. 2020 was a rough year for sure, and 2021 isn’t starting out all that well, either. Kudos to you for bringing beauty to us with your photos; it’s been too cold and icy for me to go out, never mind that I simply haven’t been in the right mood for either photography or writing. I need to kick myself in the ass and get back out there. I’ll use you as my inspiration.

Hello, CM. Good to see you. Now I’m curious if I am still following you. I’ll have to check when I visit your blog. I can’t keep track of who comes here or not cuz between my personal life and the amount of people who do come here, it’s just not possible. 2020 was an indoctrination into delving deep within ourselves in order to face the very fears that cripple us. 2021 will be a year so spectacular that no one will ever forget it. The illusion of what is supposedly happening in the physical world I completely ignore. I am focusing on MY life by creating more love and more beauty. That does not mean I have my head stuck in the sand. No. I’m very well informed yet I do not get sucked into it. My TV is off …. I absolutely refuse to listen to the propaganda MSM pushes so that people stay in fear. There is a beautiful world forming and oh yeah I am very much part of that world. Sometimes it takes determination to pick up our camera and get out there. You won’t regret it. Hope you have a really great day. I actually have another post up today showing JOY!!! Sending you much love today!!! xo
