This November 2020 in my Create a Dream Blog the “theme” will be “Miracles” and I will look at a period of time that I called in the “Dream Wheels” and : Art for One World books the Miracle Cycle which is from 2003- 2010 .
I am creating a Milestone study of this cycle and would love to share it with you that includes dreams, favourite Events and inspiration.
Had a Healing cycle of seven years from 2002 – 2008 I called the Miracle Cycle. The reality check is that I was recovering from Cancer surgery and using alternative methods. During this time I kept developing with writing and painting the ‘Miracle Galaxy’ which is a story about meeting the Eight Angels of Healing.
In 2005 traveled after having a “Mermaid” dream as a catalyst Dale and I went to many sacred places that had Sacred Stones such as Stonehenge, Avebury, Glastonbury, Boscawen- Un, Seven Sister, Merry Maidens, Mena-A-Tol, Quoits, New Grange, St. Mary’s Well across from Barnsley. Many of these became places where my Angel Storytellers were born in the story of the Miracle Galaxy. In 2018-19 took this story one step further in Star Galaxy for the World. Also now creating a map of Sacred places called the ‘Paths of Light: in 2020.
A highlight of this cycle was a storytelling for the Children’s Festival in Newport Beach at the South Coast Plaza. This was a Earth Child Environment Foundation project. I storytold Dodoland and Magical Earth Secrets and shared Miracle Galaxy with certain individuals.
Worked with students from Korea in winter program at Formosa Academy for three winter programs.
Did 6 summers of program at International School – Art and English… often used environmental themes. Some international student programs were done with the Earth Child Environment Foundation.
Dream that were my favourite in this time period:
“dad told me to shake my rattle”
“what does it look like in an eagle’s eye”
“praying in gratitude before eating with the Dalai Lama”
“book of painting, flowers, hearts and poems”
“hat with silver feathers.”
“cloak of protection”
“flying above the earth”
much like you would be seeing things in google earth – “remote viewing”
“asked to speak to teachers of musicians”
“Working with people who inspire children”
“ in 2009 had dreams of going up a stairwell with a group of women and invited to Russia and traveling there.”
“asked Have you tasted the nectar of the lotus?”.. the same dream in 2004 and 2009
