Last day of August. Incredible.

In 3 days it will be my birthday. I received a $10 card from Victoria's Secret and I went shopping.

The store here in Bend is completely renewed. Looks very nice! I bought myself a very nice set of lingerie, a bra and under pants. Fun!

And now I will clean the fridge and then go to work for inventory.

Will talk again in September!

Just love everybody that interacts with you no matter how personally, or how peripherally, involved with you they are. The efficiency of the people who deal with you... everything is orchestrated by the manager called Law of Attraction. And your vibration is setting all of it into motion. Everything affecting you is a reflection of the vibration that you are emitting. Spend more time focused upon your dream than upon the reality. The reality gives birth to the dream -- but the dream is where you are wanting to put your attention.

If you look on the list of all the messages I send in the last months. YOu can see that I only send 6 in July. It is interesting to see that in that month there was so  much going on and there was so much movement in my life that being in front of the computer was not possible.

I love to share!

Fun to see them getting older!

Karenlynn Robinson, a friend of mine wrote her opinion to the Source, our local newspaper. They published her words and I would love to share this with the world:

Here's what she wrote to the Source:

"So far in my experience, I have concluded that the Universe runs on Love. Who knows how many people would say that they have had that same experience? However, I feel that many people would say that the thought of the Universe running on Love makes them feel good. Either way, we all win if we think of that concept in connection to this amazing "chatter" that is going on between the bikers and the drivers. As soon as I read the "Cold Call" question in the July 31st edition ("Do you think drivers are doing enough to accommodate bikers?"), my immediate gut response was that no one is doing enough to accommodate each other, period.

When I thought about it, I realized that the situation is an OPPORTUNITY for communities on small and large scales to come together to balance ourselves and eliminate our fear-based idea of lack. We will accomplish this easily when we take action that reflects our belief that the Universe runs on Love.

So here is my intention when I am biking and driving. When I am driving and I see a biker I make sure they have enough room to see me. I drive as slow as I need to until I can go around, and I send gratitude to the biker for doing her/his part. Then when I am biking I always have great experiences with the drivers because I pay attention to what is around me, I use hand signals, and what I experience on my bike reflects what I experience when I am driving... so it works well!

I feel in this economy what people are so terrified of is a reflection of us and how we treat each other. So why not have fun supporting each other safely and respectfully to change our collaborative outlook on things like gas prices?> We can also teach this to our children who are in cars and on bikes, and they are our future! Right now, our attention is on the economy, so we are all watching each other. Go big, send a smile!"


Dear Source,

Just when my faith in the local population falters, along
comes inspirational words like those from “The Mailbox” contributor
Heather McKenzie (8/14).

After watching this morning’s continued news coverage
of the recently-killed bicyclist, I tended toward the negative “How many
SUV drivers have been killed by bicyclists?” or “If only he’d
been wearing his helmet…”, but Heather’s is the higher path.

All anyone can do to improve this neighborhood, city,
country, planet or cosmos is to set our sights on Love and work on our
own
responsibility. Heather, you are my sister in spirit, and I so honor
the Source
for printing your letter.

SO, my point is to reinforce the guidelines set forth by Ms.
McKenzie. When we ride, send love and gratitude to the bicycle and its
creators, the road and its caretakers, and the vehicles with their
drivers, and
they’ll not kill us. When we drive, send love and gratitude to the
cyclists risking their lives daily to reduce carbon emissions, reduce
wear and
tear on roads, reduce traffic cong
estion and reduce obesity and its
accompanying
expenses.

Sending a big smile at you, Heather, and everyone I pass as
I ride or drive.

Love,

KarenLynn Robinson, Bend

In a few minutes we are leaving for Mother Meera. She is an avatar living in Germany but traveling around the US to give Darshan. Her free service to the world.

For those who are not able to go but would like to receive Darshan, you can internally ask for it and she will give it, or you can write her a lettre, or if you would like, I will take you with me by intention.

Mother Showed me the first time I met her in 1999 my path. To let go of all fears and life in my power. What a ride!

Her Darshan is given in complete silence.

Will share with you later what my experience was.

Yesterday was a great day.

Around noon we (Paul, Christopher, Love  and I) drove to Bellknap hotsprings. We had a soak in the warm waters of mother earth and walked around in the beautiful gardens. Thanks Lindy for sharing your favorite place on earth. Then we came back in Bend and had a nice salad at Indigo's.

At home we relaxed and had a good time together in our fun place (bed).

Today we are starting the first day of our next 9 years.

August 20, 2008

In English en in het Nederlands

Today is our 9th Anniversary. Fun to think about my life and all the unfolding, all pieces of a puzzle who are coming together beautifully.
I am very thankful to be where I am and with who I am in life.
We are starting our day with fresh made apple-carrot-ginger juice and then we will probably go to a hot springs.

I bought a card for Paul and wrote him a letter. I will copy it here also.

Love is a very powerful force and the more I allow myself to tap into it, the more of it's
power is revealed to me. Love has healing powers and I am learning and studying about this. What my life mission is, is to have love replace all fears.
Not always easy, but I know it is working. It is a life mission, and the more I apply it, the better my life is unfolding, so I will see where it will bring me......
....to be continued......

I would like to thank all of you also, because you all are part of my life's mission.
It is fun for me to be able to share this with you by email.

Mieke

PS. If you prefer not to receive my family and personal email, just let me know.


Vandaag is het onze 9de huwelijks verjaardag.
We beginnen de dag met vers gemaakt apple -wortel -gember sap. Njam njam.
Ik heb een kaart gekocht en hem deze morgen een brief geschreven die ik in de kaart zal steken
en hem straks zal geven. Ik zal het hier onderaan copieren. Het is wel in het Engels, want van het vlaams zou
hij niet teveel verstaan.

Liefde is heel krachtig. En hoe meer ik mezelf toelaat de liefde van binnenuit te voelen, hoe meer ik van zijn kracht teweten kom en leer wat je met die kracht kan doen.
Ik begin zeer goed te beseffen dat de kracht van de liefde kan genezen en dat is wat ik heel interessant vind en aan het studeren en oefenen ben in mezelf.
Mijn levens missie is om mijn angsten te vervangen door liefde. Niet altijd gemakkelijk maar ik weet dat het werkt en ik zie mijn leven verbeteren en aangenamer worden hoe meer ik het toepas.

Ik apprecieer jullie allemaal in mijn leven, want jullie dragen allen bij tot mijn levens missie. Thank you!
En het is leuk om dit met jullie via email te kunnen delen.

Mieke

PS. Als je mijn familie en persoonlijk nieuws liever niet ontvangt, geef mij een seintje.




Dear Loving Paul,

What exciting to see that we are married 9 years!

Thank you for being who you are, it is not possible to put in words that what you are. "Love" that is the best way to express who you are. It feels so good to be where we are and to realize the possibilities that are available to grow into. So much is ahead of us and the fun lies in seeing that we are heading forwards with the same goals, passions, creativity's. That makes it so much fun, we share that what we both love "growing more fully into joy and the expression of that what we really are". But at the same time the real joy is just being in the moment together in life. What is coming our way is only possible by being happy now in this moment, and that is what we have, that is what makes life so powerful together.

9 years we raised 3 children together, and see where they are now, wonderful, loving, grounded, smart, social, beautiful, affectionate, connected, conscious beings. They are our teachers and they are supporting us on our path as we support them on theirs. Isn't that very powerful? I feel very good about it all and I only wish all of us a life with lots of love and possibilities.

Growing together with you is so good and fun and exciting. And you are so wonderful to be around.

Let's go for another year and see what will come our way. Being in the moment and not taking anything for granted is fun. Everything is always changing, that is the only constant, so let's see how much more fun we can create.

From the debts of my being,

I LOVE YOU!

Mieke

Hallo allemaal,

Even een emailtje.
Alles goed ten huize Benton.
Ik heb al eerder een update gestuurd in het Engels met het verslag van Angela haar verhuis naar California.

Ze is dus goed vertrokken en is er nu al een 2 weken. Ze hebben een kat gekocht. Angela is een grote dierenliefhebber
en het is goed dat ze de kat heeft.
Vandaag was haar eerste schooldag. Je, ze beginnen daar vroeg. Ze zal vandenavond eens bellen met het verslag van haar eerste dag.

Andrew is voor het moment op atheltiek kamp in de bergen aan een meer, voor een dag of 4.

Paul and Christopher en ik zijn dus alleen thuis.

Morgen, 20 augustus, is de grote dag. Voor wie erbij was en zich herinnert. 9 jaar geleden zijn Paul en ik getrouwd op het stadhuis in Deinze.
Ons huwelijk was heel aangenaam. Een mooie tijd.En een heleboel vrienden waren aanwezig, dat was heel leuk. Voor velen was het de eerste ontmoeting met Paul.
De tijd vliegt vlug. Ondertussen zijn de kinderen al 9 jaar ouder en nu ook al eentje de deur uit. Heel boeiend vind ik dat de evolutie van het leven, de veranderingen, de avonturen, etc.
Ik ben heel blij met de keuze die ik gemaakt heb, Paul als man te kiezen, beiden hebben we samen besloten om er nog een jaartje bij te doen, daar we voelen dat het enkel beter wordt.
Het leven is een interessante leerschool. Vooral in relatie met iemand leer je het meeste van jezelf. Als je jezelf kan blijven en de ander toelaat zichzelf te zijn kan je een heel mooie band creeeren met
je partner. Dat is wat Paul en ik doen en ik moet zeggen, het voelt heel goed en we blijven voor elkaar kiezen.
Ik neem mijn relaties niet als vanzelfsprekend, ik ben er mij heel goed van bewust dat je de liefde niet in een ander kan vinden, de liefde moet uit jezelf komen. Dat is het leerproces die ik heel boeiend vind, mezelf leren liefhebben en ook de ander leren liefhebben.

En volgend jaar zijn we dan 10 jaar getrouwd. Amai, amai.

Als ik eens mijn wens zou verwoorden dan is het dit:

Volgend jaar als we 10 jaar getrouwd zijn komen mijn moeder en broer en zus en Gauthier naar hier op vakantie. Mijn vader komt liever niet daar de reis niet aangenaam is voor hem met zijn fysieke situatie en dat vind ik volkomen ok. Ik ben heel blij te zien dat hij kiest voor wat goed aanvoelt voor hem. Het is een heel lange en vermoeiende reis.
Als ze hier zijn dan geven we een feestje hier bij ons in de tuin met vrienden en familie. Daarna gaan we naar Canada op bezoek bij Ann en Joerik. Ann is en heel goede vriendin van Leen, mijn zus die in September 2008 zal verhuizen van Belgie naar Canada. Dus tegen volgende zomer zal ze het er wel gewoon zijn en kunnen we daar eens op bezoek gaan.

Daarna kunnen we eventueel naar de Beach House gaan, ons familie huis aan de kust. Eventueel kamperen we ook nog eens in de Red Woods zoals we gedaan hebben met Jeroen en Gauthier vorige zomer, heel plezant.

Dat zou leuk zijn he! En om mijn wens nog volmaakter te maken. Daarna komen wij naar Belgie terug met iedereen en hebben we daar ook nog een feestje en een leuke vakantie.

Ik zal deze wens heel sterk in mijn gedachten houden. En ik zal maar al beter beginnen sparen.


Zo, ik ben ook nog steeds bezig mijn huis te herschikken. Zal later dan wel eens wat fotos opsturen.

En op 5 september nodig ik vrienden uit voor een verjaardags potluck, een feestje hier bij ons thuis. Christopher zijn verjaardag is op 28 augustus en wordt er dan 14. (Zijn stem sloeg over deze zomer). Ik wordt er op 3 september 38 jaar (en mijn vader ook op 3 september 69 jaar).
En Andrew wordt er op 13 september 19 jaar.

Zo, we gaan nu een filmpje bekijken en dan gaan slapen.

Tot later!

Mieke

Half way of August. Time is moving forward. Life is moving forward and we are moving forward.

Relaxing in the meanwhile is something I really have to learn.

Just beingness, simple. The mind does not like that idea, it wants to take action and does not want to be still. But the heart loves to be still, it is stillness in its nature. To really be in balance in my life I am learning to let the heart lead and let the mind help but not let the mind run my life. I command my heart to lead my life and let my mind support the heart.

Mieke

Here is the Abraham quote of the day....

Think of this random Universe where everything is possible. The organizational skills belong to Law of Attraction. If you will relax and allow Law of Attraction to do the organization and the managing, then you can spend your time doing the things that please you.

The discipline of being present to this moment
and only to this moment.
Then you are the warrior, the spiritual warrior,
the lover of that what IS.

When your line is not busy
God can talk to you and you can talk back
or become one through the silence.

Somehow, very mysteriously,
the silence removes layers of negativity
directed at self and others.
This deep surgery is performed with so much love
it liberates the heart.

Do you know that you are helping each other in this process?
Your availability to love becomes the doorway for someone else.

Beautiful beings of love and light now feel free to approach you
because you are so open.

This openness needs no defense.
It is your natural state.
It is where true happiness resides.

What divine creation that this happiness is planted
not outside but inside of you
where it is waiting for you to claim it.

Happiness and peace.
You do not want anything else.
Where to find it?
Here. In this moment.
When?
Always!

Your physical body is wondrous.
Your energy bodies are radiant.
What you really are, is beyond all these words.

Whatever you're thinking about is literally like planning a future event. When you're worrying, you are planning. When you are appreciating, you are planning...What are you planning?

The raw foods potluck was very good!

When I got home and was ready for bed, we made a spot for Love (my dog) on the couch where she normaly sleeps.

Paul and I were sitting next to Love. Out of the blue I started looking with my hands for 2 energy spots on Love to play with the info I just read a few mintues ago in my Matrix Energetics book. The Energy Work that is incredible.

Immediatly Love went into an altered stated and completely relaxed her body as the people did on stage in that movie. We were sitting there for a while, so amazed, because we never saw Love in such an altered state.

It was a proof for me, that if this is possible with Love, it is possible with anything. Because I know Love very well and she is an animal that is much more in thouch with her natural being.

Wondering where this will lead me! Exciting!

Anyway, have to go to work now.

We are ready to go to the Raw Foods Potluck.

I made a carrot cake. Looks very good. 

I am also working on a website Raw Food in Central Oregon.

It will be a tool to inform people and connect people who are interested in Raw Foods.

In 2 weeks we are going to Mother Meera. I am so excited and very thankful that she is coming towards us! Thanks!

We are 8-8-8 today!!!!!

3 times the infinity symbol.

it is 3:47 in the morning now. Ready to go to work. We have an All Store meeting today and we in the bakery have to be there at 4:30 to make sure we are done with all the baking before the meeting starts. 

To start the day here is an Abraham-Hicks message for the day!

Mieke

I Can Transform My Own World for Me. . .

Make lists of positive aspects. Make lists of things you love—and never complain about anything. And as you use those things that shine bright and make you feel good as your excuse to give your attention and be who-you-are, you will tune to who-you-are, and the whole world will begin to transform before your eyes. It is not your job to transform the world for others—but it is your job to transform it for you. A state of appreciation is pure Connection to Source where there is no perception of lack.

I am sitting here enjoying my new computer corner. We are moving all computers (4 of them, except the ones of the children in their room) to a seperate corner of the house. I had my mac in my room and all other computers were taking up lots of nice space in the house. So now, we have them all together in a nice "hidden" corner of the house. We are creating a loving and peaceful living space. That makes me feel SSSOOOOOO good. I am deep cleaning the house and all carpets.

When all is done I want to invite some friends and have a potluck in the garden en celebrate our 9th anniversairy (august 20th) and our new living space.

August 6, 2008 - B

Something very fascinating I discovered.
By thinking what I am thankful for I am raising my vibration.
If you feel not that good, start writing down, or just thinking what you do like about life, yourself, others, your life. If you cannot find anything, make it up! Fake it till you make it!

Family News from Bend.

Life has been calling me in other places then in front of my computer.
Lots is going on, and before I go on to the next piece of my day, I am taking some time for that what I really like to do and that is writing emails to you all.
My intention is to live my life in Joy and doing what I like to do is what creates that joy.

The latest family update:

The last month has been very interesting. Being in the moment with Angela and her move to California. Going through all her stuff, talking about life and the upcoming changes, being present with all family members and our feelings and vision about the move, enjoying each others company, packing and then taking off for the coast where she left from there to California.
It has been a very empowering adventure for our relationship and I see much more of that in the future.

With Andrew and his 3 friends, Angela, Paul and I and Love the dog we left for the beach. We left on Wednesday. On Friday Paula and Jinnifer and Christopher drove down to the Beach from California.
It was fun and empowering to spend some time there all together before we shifted our family dynamics with Angela moving to California. It was good for me to know the state Angela was in, moving from one reality to the other, because of my own experience. I felt closely connected with the shifts in consciousness she was going trough and will be going through by living there. It is a complete shift in culture and in a way it can bring a culture shock. For me it was not a chock but I know it can be. Habits are changing, people are changing, food is changing, everything is changing and you have to allow yourself to be with the changes and pay attention to yourself while going through the changes. Fascinating trip!

The moment she was ready to leave was very emotional to me. It was the feeling of love and the feeling of letting go. It was the feeling of supporting that what you love towards freedom and expansion.
I was crying and it was not off sadness, but of happiness of the love and of connection and aliveness. It is part of the joy and sometimes that comes in tears. I am very happy that she is who she is and that she moves forward in life to learn and explore and expand and determine who she is in her own way and in her own terms. Everyone is different and does it their own way. I am supporting all 3 of them to do it their own way, their own different way, unique way. This is Angela's way.

And I know she is in good hands and will be supported in lots of ways. And we are not gone, we are here, always. They can always count on us.

Now we are living here with the 4 of us. Paul, Andrew, Christopher and I. It feels good, it feels different but very good. The boys each have their room. I am cleaning all carpets and recreate our living space. It might take a while but I am moving forward towards my goal of our peaceful sanctuary. Living in a joyful space is part of my intention.

More and more I realize that I do create my own reality, ALL OF IT! I am learning that where I focus on I create more of. I am learning to focus on the vision of that what I want to become, how do I see myself 2-5-10 years from now. I am learning to dare to think much bigger then I have allowed myself to see till now. Society does not support self-worth and self-empowerment much. So I am looking for ways to empower myself, ways to learn to love myself more and more, to see myself living a life that is an expression of love, peace, abundance, focus, clarity, harmony, and much much more. I start to grasp the truth that I can create my own reality and I am learning to create it in a conscious way the way I want it.
One of the powerful intentions Paul and I have is to bring our relationship to the highest vibration possible. We know we are going in a very good feeling direction and it can only get better.

This for the family news.

A few notes for the people in Bend.

* I just send out an email for the next raw foods potluck. Because I have been deleting emails I deleted some I should not have been. If you were on my raw foods list and did not get the email, let me know. Or if you were not on it and would like to, also let me know.

* A reminder that Mother Meera will be in Corvallis for Darshan on August 24th 2008. There is a 2 pm and 7 pm Darshan. We will go to the 2 pm Darshan. It is amazing to see how many people we know are going. Incredible. If you want to know more google "Mother Meera Darshan Corvallis".

Have a great August!

Website with latest cropcircles

Cropcircles are very high vibrational interdimentional creations. An expression of conciousness and connection between all that is.
This is a link to a site that shares the latest cropscircles reported. I have not been in one myself, but a very good friend of mine has and he said it was a great and powerful experience.

My advice is to feel for yourself what messages are been given to you when you are looking at them. I am sure I will be in one soon. Probably on my next vacation to England, or maybe sooner.

In the meanwhile I am observing them and reaching for the messages given by the circles.
