A Poem: Virtual 71
So, I turned 71 yesterday. Now birthdays at this point in life are not the excitedly anticipated events they once were. 71 is kind of a blah age, even though it is a prime number. But there’s no real milestone attached to it. Nothing exciting happens. And as I approached this non-milestone birthday I mused about what it really means anyway. Time is just an invention; it is relative based on our perceptions, perspective and the human compulsion to measure everything. I decided I am a “virtual 71” and this poem is an attempt to explain this:
Virtual 71
All time is relative;
I can be any age I want.
Measured in life-times,
I’m infinitely old.
Measured in the emptiness of time,
I am a new-born.
I can be any age
I consciously conjure
Between these infinite ends.
If I can be an age of my choosing
What age would I be?
Would I be younger
With fewer wrinkles?
More hair?
Few aches?
More care?
But then would I have
Less time?
More demands?
Less ease?
More stress?
Would I be older
With more wisdom?
Fewer chores?
More peace?
Fewer claims?
But then would I have
More wrinkles?
Less hair?
More aches?
Less mind?
Or would I be this age
With what I do have:
Few aches.
Enough hair.
Some wisdom.
Enough care.
Few demands.
Enough time.
Good energy.
Great health.
Much love!
What age would
A wise man choose?
I choose to be mine—
A Virtual 71!

A poem: Flow
My goddess, Rosemary, channels the goddesses; they call themselves The Divine Feminine. This past Monday evening, July 25, Rosemary channeled an incredible message from The Divine Feminine. It inspired today’s poem.
The subject of the channeling event is “What in the World is Going On?” We are in the midst of tremendous change, of transformation, of an evolutionary time which is birthing the “New Human.” Yes, it is a time of struggle; world events seem chaotic and frightening. But The Divine Feminine offer both a clear message of empowering wisdom and a way for us to be in our purpose to aid in the process of this evolution. It is an important message for out time!
You may learn more about this and purchase the recording on Rosemary’s website: Recording
And here is the poem the message inspired:
Flow
I move with the flow
And accept what is mine—
Mine to do
Mine to learn
Mine to love
Mine to live
Mine to be.
And it is all vibration
It is all light and shadow
Reflection and illusion
As we all, with all of reality
Wink and blink
Here and gone.
The glinting river flows to the sea
Its brilliant waters reveal
The emptiness
Vast and heaving
Seeing all
Reflecting all
Taking nothing
But more water
The home of souls.

Rosemary’s Exploration
This exploration is all about choice. We can choose our experiences in every moment. This is the way to live a Conscious Life.
You can choose to listen to the guidance from The Divinine Feminine tonight; go here for details and registration:
Who Has a Fun MRI?
I recently had my first MRI done. Everything I had heard about Magnetic Resonance Imaging was a bit daunting. The noise is horrible. You’ll feel claustrophobic. I couldn’t go through with it! You have to lie still for so long.
It was enough to make me wonder if I really wanted to go through with this test.
But I don’t let other people’s experiences define my experience. I decided that I was going to have fun with this procedure.
I went in with a cheerful attitude and a positive frame of mind. I decided that I would meditate during the test so I asked for quiet instrumental music as I put on the headphones. As I was moved into the big machine, the noises started.
I thought about sound and sound frequencies as vibrations and tuned in to the vibrations I was experiencing as the machine whirred around me. I decided to ask the vibrations to clear out anything in me that wasn’t vibrating for my highest good. When the sound shifted to a new frequency, I asked that frequency to also clear out whatever I didn’t need.
I started to feel that there were healing angels with me and that they were working on me as I lay there. Each time the frequency changed I felt a new experience of power and healing and light. I saw different colors and felt myself being lifted.
I felt happy. I had a big smile on my face. I was tripping out!
And then it was over. I was moved out of the machine and the technician removed my headphones. I thanked him and said I had had a great time. He said that not every patient felt that way.
What made the difference? The machine was the same. The test was the same. (I am fine, by the way.) The noise levels were the same. The duration was the same. Why was my experience so different from others’?
I decided to have a different experience.
This is an opportunity that we have in every moment – to decide what kind of experience we are going to have. It is our choice how to respond to the situation in which we find ourselves. We may not be able to change the circumstances but we can decide how we will operate within those circumstances.
An Event happens. We have a knee-jerk Reaction. We hit the Pause Button. And then we choose our Conscious Response.
Event -> Reaction -> Pause -> Conscious Response
Next time you find yourself in a situation, any situation, remember this formula and DECIDE how you will respond. I had a great time getting an MRI. And if I ever have to have another one, I know that it, too, will be fun because I’ve already decided that it will be.

Welcome back to RosemarySpace and this latest installment of the MoonLetter. Note the special upcoming events, FREE Webinar tomorrow, Sunday, July 24 at 7:00 pm Eastern Daylight Time: Getting Grounded in Ungrounded Times – LINK
And a channeling event with The Divine Feminine, Monday, July 25 at 7:00 pm EDT: What in the World is Going On? –LINK
“Emotions are not decisions. They are the result of decisions. Feel your emotions and ask what decisions have led me to feel this way. When you make new decisions you can feel new emotions. Choose decisions that allow you to feel happy and satisfied. These choices are based on LOVE.”
Happy Summer! I hope you are enjoying this season of warm weather and holiday parades and fun activities.
Warm weather is HOT weather here in Maryland! I give thanks every day for air conditioning. I’ll emerge in the Autumn.
The Full Moon in Capricorn (the Sun is in Cancer) was exact at 6:56 pm Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) on Tuesday, July 19. This one was powerful!
Have you been feeling as if everything is being shaken up? Are you questioning where you are headed and with whom? Are you looking to get your message out to the world in a bigger way?
And are world events causing you to feel upset, unsettled, even fearful? Yes, we are being invited to FEEL our emotions and to examine the structures around us. This is a time to evaluate and maybe throw away what doesn’t serve us, as individuals and as a culture.
Here in the U.S. we are in the midst of an extremely divisive political election cycle. Nothing seems to be going according to plan.
And with many of my clients this is happening on a personal level. Money, health, relationship, career issues – everything seems to be coming up in chaos.
Take heart, Dear Ones! All is not lost. You are being asked to do some self-exploration and make decisions about who you are and how you will be operating in the world. You will come out of this chaotic period with a new understanding of what peace and balance inside you means.
The work of this Full Moon is to RELEASE. Those old structures. Limiting beliefs that belong to the old you. Thoughts of what you can’t do based on past experience. Decide to get rid of old energies so that you are ready for something new to arrive with the New Moon on August 2 at 4:44 pm EDT. This also happens to be Richard’s and my birthday so August 2 will be a very special New Moon at our house!
So many people are upset by what’s happening in the world that I have been guided to help provide some tools to make it through this time of chaos.
On Monday, July 25 at 7:00 pm EDT join me for a channeling event where I will teach with The Divine Feminine what is going on and what we can do about things. These messages that are coming through these days are powerful guidance to help us navigate the 21st Century and its problems. The last message from The Divine Feminine was some great guidance on Abundance, Prosperity and Finances. The recording is available on my website.
Monday’s message will be timely and will help us to gain an empowering perspective. You can join us in person or from anywhere in the world. Get more info and register here: LINK
As a special bonus, on Sunday, July 24 at 7:00 pm EDT I will be offering a FREE Webinar! Getting Grounded in Ungrounded Times. During this hour together we will explore how you can use some simple tools to help you handle what you are feeling about world events and shake-ups happening in your own life. This is an opportunity for you to receive some information that will be immediately useful and the webinar will be content-rich. Come spend an hour with me and feel better about handling situations.

Let’s stay connected so I can help you to get through these tough times. You are precious. You are LIGHT. Shine your Light into the World so that you can make the place a little bit brighter.
Love is Health
I am reading Martín Prechtel’s most recent book, “The Smell of Rain on Dust.”
Martín is one of my most revered teachers. When the world is fortunate enough to receive another of his gifts of writing, I immediately acquire the book, and then I savor it, sometime putting off reading for a time knowing I have it, but delaying the incredible gratification I get when I read his lovely words.
I studied with Martín for a few years almost a decade ago now; I sat with him in his Bolad’s Kitchen, cooking in the soup of his stories, his character and his wisdom. Now whenever I get to read one of his books, new or old, I can hear his voice, the cadence and timber, the melody, the harmonies as he speaks with reverence for life, nature, the indigenous soul of humanity.
I am in the middle of this current book, published in 2015 but current to me. When I am finished I’ll post a complete review here. But for now I want to quote the end of Chapter 6: “Paddles of Tears, Canoes Made Out of Old Songs”. This short quote summarizes in a tidy nugget where I am right now in life and what continues to carry me forward into my 8th decade:
The eloquence of our own affection for one another keeps the world healthy. Praise and the depth of our grief expressed for one another keeps the world in love. Love is health.
ROSEMARY’S INSPIRATION: Who Do You Trust?

ROSEMARY’S EXPLORATION: Choose to Live Your Richest Life
Choose to Live Your Richest Life
Have you ever gotten so tired of the way things are going that you say to yourself, ‘Enough!’? Maybe it is your finances or your exercise regimen or your weight or what you eat or a job that doesn’t satisfy you or a relationship that doesn’t serve your highest good. Have you reached a point where you have had enough and you’re ready to choose a different path?
Sometimes things have to get really terrible before we make that choice. You have to ‘hit bottom’ before you start to pull yourself up. Or maybe the Universe has to hit you on the head with a 2 by 4 to get your attention.
I am trying to learn my lessons before it reaches that point. I confess that I don’t always shift in time to avoid the 2 by 4, though. My goal is to help you learn to make the shift BEFORE that 2 by 4 hits you.
Many of my clients come to me because they feel ready to shift but don’t know what their next step is. This is the perfect time to start working on yourself and your personal growth. Others, though, come only after they’ve been knocked down and can’t figure out how to get themselves picked up. That’s okay, too, as we do figure out what to do next.
But don’t you want to avoid the drama? Avoid the ‘I must do something’ scenario and be proactive about making choices in your life?
The first step is to realize that you are always at choice. Even when it feels as if you can’t do anything to make a change, you are deciding (choosing) to stay the way things are.
There is a big difference between feeling that things are horrible, that they must change and knowing what to do to make that change. This is where it is important to ask for help.
Even if you don’t get help from a professional, for whatever reason, at least talk to a trusted advisor or friend. You don’t have to navigate big shifts alone!
Sometimes it is important to find someone to see what you cannot see, to help you find possibilities that, when you are stuck in the quicksand of a messy situation, are difficult to sort out. This is where seeking help is so important. Someone outside of the quicksand can see what is hidden from you and steer you in the direction of what you want instead of what you feel is holding you stuck.
A client of mine recently told me that she was driving along and suddenly realized that that day was the ‘ideal day’ that she had written as her homework from one of our early appointments. She was living that day and loving it! And was thrilled at the difference between when she started the process and where she is today.
You can have the same experience. Stop doing what you’ve been doing that keeps you stuck where you are uncomfortable, in any area of your life. Ask for help. Seek your ideal day. Choose a different path. One step at a time, one behavior at a time, one action at a time.
Your Richest Life awaits you!
