    THE FLOW IS BACK

    We have had a lot of rain recently from the northeaster that slowly made its way up the coast. The water is flowing in the little brook that passes by our house and helps relieve the summer dry spell. People can go through dry spells in their lives when their creativity seems non-existent. At least we can reach out to our Source and give thanks for helping to break our dry spells. www.michaelhathaway.com Support the show

    COUNTING THE SHADES OF GREEN

    Milton Erikson told one of his patients to go out and count the shades of green in grass. I imagine the patient must have had a very narrow view of life and saw green as only one shade. By counting the shades of green, hopefully the patient became aware that there was more than just his view of life www.michaelhathaway.com Support the show

    MUMS THE WORD

    Lori put three beautiful well-rounded mums at the Center’s entrance where their silent beauty greets all. To get into their fall shape, they had had several prunings over the summer. Many people go about their lives silently making adjustments when called for. It is good to be quietly flexible. www.michaelhathaway.com Support the show

    ANOTHER SEASONAL FAVORITE

    I watched the succulent stonecrop grow all summer, and now it has finally turned red, brightening up the landscape. It is possible that people visiting could miss its beauty if they are preoccupied. Life has many seasonal favorites waiting for us to celebrate them. www.michaelhathaway.com Support the show

    FINDING PLEASURE

    I get great pleasure in finding things in Nature that brighten up the landscape, like the last of the bee balm flowers hanging on until a killing frost. This form of pleasure is what I call heart-based rather than ego-based. The ego is never really satisfied, where the heart finds great joy in sharing positive energy with others. www.michaelhathaway.com Support the show

    COLORING UP THE LANDSCAPE

    Nature has its paintbrush out and is beginning to color up the landscape. It won’t be long before this vibrant artwork will be at its peak and draw thousands to the mountains to view the show. People always can color the landscape of others with kind words and positive acts of kindness no matter what the season of life. www.michaelhathaway.com Support the show

    A LITTLE MORE ON INTENTIONS

    A very important component in an intention is believing in a positive purpose for setting it in the first place. Essentially that has been our positive intention ever since the Mountain decided we would be its steward. The same is true for any intention we set in life, believing that if it comes from the heart, our Source is with us to help it become a reality. www.michaelhathaway.com Support the show

    PROGRESS BEGINS WITH INTENTION

    I wanted to clear new growth away from a storage shed before it totally blocked the access, so I spent a couple of hours on two afternoons to slowly clear away the growth. The beginning of a success begins with setting intentions and then giving yourself permission to follow through. www.michaelhathaway.com Support the show

    IT'S OVER

    The fall equinox arrives today, so summer is officially over. There have been hints of change for those who pay attention. We also get hints of changes about to take place in our lives, so knowing that helps us prepare. Some people do not want to change and get caught unprepared. Embracing change can also provide many new opportunities. www.michaelhathaway.com Support the show

    THOUGHTS ON SWEETNESS

    The pink clover blossoms still in bloom reminded me of the sweetness I experience in life, like the maple syrup I drizzle on my gluten free French toast in the morning. There is a lot of non-edible sweetness in life like a warm friendly smile from someone at a time when it brightens their day. www.michaelhathaway.com Support the show

    MORE DISCOVERIES ON A NICE SEPTEMBER DAY

    Recently I discovered a small group of mushrooms in the grass that made me smile. I just marvel at how unique Nature is and how unique each person is. Discoveries often come when we are alert to our surroundings. www.michaelhathaway.com Support the show

    FLOWERS ARE STILL IN NATURE'S GARDEN

    I am grateful for flowers to appreciate on my mid-September walks through nature’s natural garden. It is pure joy to discover the surrounding beauty, including people who share their individuality with others, knowing not everyone will understand. Those that do receive the benefits of a different view of life!!!!!!!! www.michaelhathaway.com Support the show

    ANOTHER FALL-WINTER JOY

    The winterberries growing close to our stone walls are loaded with red berries that will last into winter. I look forward to enjoying them every year. I also find great joy in many things, including, people and places in Nature. My intention is to find them as I travel the path of my Soul. www.michaelhathaway.com Support the show

    A BOUNTIFUL CROP

    Our little 30+ year-old crabapple tree has a bountiful crop of tiny red apples this year. They are too small for human consumption, but the birds enjoy them. I think of how a bountiful crop of human kindness can feed human hearts with love all over the world. www.michaelhathaway.com Support the show

    IT STILL TAKES MY BREATH AWAY

    Several years ago, we returned from a week’s vacation and our first visit up to the cabin literally took our breath away when we saw the view that loggers had revealed in their recent cut. It still takes my breath away every time I see the view. Special places and people can help us feel gratitude that we can share with others. www.michaelhathaway.com Support the show

    THE IMPORTANCE OF GRATITUDE

    On the day of my 6900th podcast I choose to connect with the Importance of Gratitude. I set my intentions every day to feel gratitude for being allowed to channel the Cosmos’s nonjudgmental love and share it with others to help them discover their own heart connections. www.michaelhathaway.com Support the show

    LITTLE BY LITTLE

    This summer we have had several interruptions in accomplishing our goals, but we managed to start improving a trail by using some no value books that would have gone to the dump as fill for low spots in an old skidder road with the intention of creating a new trail. Spending an hour or so each week, little by little, our goal is coming together. It is amazing what can be accomplished little by little. www.michaelhathaway.com Support the show

    LEAN ON ME

    Recently I cut down a tall slender birch tree that was leaning over the old road and causing a potential winter hazard when heavy snow arrives. After I cleaned up the branches, I looked back and another tree had taken its place. It had been leaning on the first one. In life, we can lean on our Source to help us remain upright on our soul’s path. www.michaelhathaway.com Support the show

    THE RESULTS ARE IN

    The results are now in my stomach after dreaming of an apple pie from our old orchard. There was just enough for one pie, and I am so grateful to Nature (and gluten-free piecrust) for helping make my dream come true. Setting positive intentions with heart-felt gratitude and trust in your Source can go a long way to helping your dreams come true. www.michaelhathaway.com Support the show

    A NEW DISCOVERY

    I was opening the gate to the Cabin driveway when I discovered a tiny flower hiding in the tall grass under my feet. According to a flower identifier, it is called a purple false foxglove. I am reminded that there are new discoveries to be made when we pay attention to what is taking place around us, and I thank the little flower for this lesson in life. www.michaelhathaway.com Support the show
