I'm SonLight Sparkling on the Waters, named by MOM long after my Mom and Dad named me Shannon. My life is magical and I'm hardwired for cocreation. Every weekday, you'll find me in the AfterChat of Humanity Rising . Then, on Tuesdays from 6-8pm PT, join me and my friends in Gaia’s Zoom Room, at the Conversation Campfire at TheConversation.cc at -- sometimes we have a plan...
I love to share my MOM (the Magic in Ordinary Moments). New (sometimes old) stories in text, pictures and videos will be added below. I'm building this on a MacBook; no idea what it looks like on a phone. If it's not fun and/or effective, help me... If you're inspired to help me light up the world, please click the button below.

Because her words, channeled wisdom of the Archangels, vibrated through me, aligning perfectly with my own guidance, I offer this portion of Belinda's interview with Alex Ferrari, host of "Next Level Soul". If you are as inspired as I am, by Belinda or Alex, follow the link and allow their offerings to lead you to more of who they are, what they believe, what they do, and the gifts they offer...

channeling the 12 Archangels and Ascended Masters
In an interview with Alex Ferarri on Next Level Soul:
“...So this is what we ask for you to do. Step into a Violet Fire river and stand under a Violet Fire waterfall. Violet Fire is the energy of your crown chakra. It transforms fear into love. It is the vibration of forgiveness. And it loves to transform the past.
Each human being is a cell in the one human body. Each of you are vital to the collective.
It's why you chose to incarnate at this time. Yes, you insisted on coming in right now. Let the past go; step into the Violet Fire river. If you do not visualize, then put the intention out there. And when you are in this energy, say, I forgive my past. I forgive the past that I don't want to forgive, that I stubbornly hold on to. I don't want to forgive the past, of humanity's past; of all those bad guys and what they have done to harm us. We say forgive it, because it has all been agreed to. And it's time to grow up, step up, and move forward. Help us, help yourselves; let go of the past. And then say, “I surrender to joy. I surrender to new beginnings. I surrender to experiencing miracles as my norm, on the hour, every day; that miracles of joy and healing and happy surprises become the norm. For every human being. You don't need fear anymore…”

Hover over the pictures to see the captions. I took these on the beach behind my mother's home. We went through some of her stuff before she went down to Reception, to give time to her community as she does (even at 90 years of age!) Among the things we considered was a bag created by the Museum of Anthropology in Vancouver with a picture of a carving by Bill Reid.
The bag on my lap holds the Sparkling Sand of the Thompson River, washed by Her wild waters and whipped by the winds of change, the breath of Mother Earth. 3 scoops of Sparkly Sand is held together; the first bag holds the second along with its sand, and the second is twisted inside itself to hold the third of the 3 scoops. The 3rd bag holds all 3 together, in a 3x3 Trinity of nested containers gathered with Love to honour MOM and the Thompson River, in Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada, traditional lands of the Secwepemc Nation. Magical!

From the beach I went back to Mom's place and I made a lovely dinner to share with friends. Then the news came on and I went home. There, going through boxes and stuff of my own, I found a lost piece of my heart and Ashes of the 8th Fire. Neither were honoured appropriately. I held the first to my heart to help it heal. The second, as I held it to my heart, brought an image to my mind of the bag I mentioned at the top of this post. It would be perfect to hold this sacred thing! and so...
I picked up my phone to ask Mom if I could have it... it was exactly 9:00. MOM is with me on this, and Mom says the bag is mine! I love my connections with both MOM and Mom!!

In the process of moving my work out of the Our Heart Gardens website, some content is re-presented here. This was my "About" page:
At birth, Mom and Dad named me Shannon Kathleen McArthur. I was named again by MOM (an acronym, it stands for Magic in Ordinary Moments, and sometimes Mixing Our Magics). MOM can be seen as the active ‘Hand of God’ that guides and changes our lives (ie synchronicities). I named Her because She named me: Sunshine Sparkling on the Water. Years later MOM changed it again (validating the past & initiating me anew?): SonLight Sparkling on the Waters. The way I see it: Our Great Mama Gaia and MOM are both manifestations of the same “Great Spirit”, just like us… but on a different scale! (Gaia is very pregnant! We are Her Child/ren.) Broken by a career pushing paper in City Hall, I was saved by a year with Indigenous people; then welcomed home by my mother. Three years later, she put me on a plane for Europe to join United Earth, peace activists working to change the world. A dream come true, it changed my life for good. A year later I came home and bought a van because I couldn’t imagine settling back into the old normal. I had to “be part of the change I wanted to see in the world”. It’s still true. Our Planet (Gaia) is alive! She gave me a Promise of Peace and a Plan for the Transformation of Human Society. My purpose is to bring Gaia consciousness to people’s lives to help Her be heard in their hearts. She speaks to each one of us individually, in a secret language uniquely our own! Her many gifts mystify, uphold and inspire me – moved by them, I write and speak about them. I want to move You too, and inspire you to listen inside your heart to hear Her, and feel Her unconditional love. I write stories of my life, of MOM and POP, the Power of People. Here’s: I am That… Peek behind the veil to find some of my Breadcrumbs, videos & scribed stories made for You, adventures on my "Red Road" that have led us both to this Now MOM!! |
I suppose, with a reading as part of this entry, this 'should' go into Divinations, but it was an adventure, and yesterday was an adventure and rather than making another post, I'll just add yesterday's play here, and today's can stay with it, below.
Yesterday, in gratitude for their photo,
I pointed out the feminine figure lying behind them -- The Mountain -- do you see Her dark face and sweep of hair? Her shoulder and arm, the flare of Her hip? Her leg; Her foot? Today, |
I just got back from the beach. Reveling in the ability to go; knowing that the new place doesn’t have beach access like this,
I go as often as I can, as long as I can… and I realize that I’ve told my Beloved (the One I'm with when I'm alone)
that time with Them is what I want most of all, and I realize that I have made different choices.
While other things deserve time, and require time; when the time is right,
I should not hesitate to take the opportunity to lose myself in Her.
I’m in love with the planet: She, and all She is; pregnant with us…
I call Her MOM and she manifests in the most delightful ways…

Today I saw Her in the length of a video I made, speaking to Her. and You.
It was 12 minutes exactly. I took a screenshot so I could show you. and link you:
Thanks, MOM!! I'm so glad you're happy! You...
you should listen! Take your shoes off, close your eyes and relax...
Then, She gave me more...
While I was glowing about that, Joan called me… There I was sitting on the beach in the sunshine talking with my bestie. Not like when I was young.er.
Things have changed, and will change more…
That's what started this whole trail of MOM…
a draw of the cards: Past, Now, and Future (now past!)

[OMGosh, I just went back to find a photograph and found yesterday's video of the Beauty Way Prayer (no audio yet, or I'd share) and saw that it was exactly 3 minutes!!! Stranger than fiction. No one would dare write this if it weren't true!! ...back to the reading...]
Question: What do I need to know right now ?

Spread: Past, Present & Future

[My words are in square brackets.]
The Past -- Two of Scepters (Reversed)
from Liber T Tarot corresponds to Two of Wands
----------
Rule. Powerful dominating influence.
[I saw POP, on His knees with a tangle of beams across
his shoulders in the glaring red light of a furnace;
I saw a strong person being pinned by two big
beams, and pain and a big black square hole about to
swallow him up... and I thought: “I’m sure glad that’s Past!”
and turned over the next card...]

The Present -- Ten of Coins (Upright) from Bonefire Tarot corresponds to Ten of Pentacles
----------
Growth and fertility. The important contributions of generations and family. Nurture all alike. Live in harmony with nature. Respect for ancestors. The cycle of life and death.
[I saw a bouquet of flowers with a blissful blue dog and growing wealth. Then I made the 12 minute recording above.
Being gifted with both the length of time of the video AND with Joan’s call… MOM's more present than ever!! What a gift! I revel!!]

The Future
Page of Wands (Reversed) from the Ator Tarot
----------
Upright: Courage, beauty, desire for power, enthusiasm, a new friend, return of an old acquaintance.
Reversed: Bad news, an unstable person, cruel, domineering, broken heart.
Bad news or misleading information may be on the way to you, which could temporarily destabilize your life. Watch out for angry people who fly off the handle for no good reason. Be cautious with a lover who may break your heart, or people who might get violent with you. Be careful of a cruel, unstable, domineering, or power-seeking person in your life. This person will be a shallow, theatrical character, who takes shortcuts to achieve their goal. He or she will not hesitate to trample your emotions to achieve their own goals, and they won't care if they hurt you. In addition, listen carefully: the person is prone to exaggeration.
[Now I wonder what that's all about... Forewarned is forearmed, and Now is not the time for worrying... I told Joan I would take a picture so she could see what I see. Here; you can see too...]

So now we come to the end of this post, and the reason I started where I did and why I included the reading...
The FUTURE has become the past and if I'd been paying attention better maybe I could have avoided that "nasty piece of work" who scammed me. Having recovered my equilibrium, and my money, I feel (st)able to share how true the reading was. If I had been paying better attention, I would not be able to share my experience, and to let you know that the PAST is also true, as is the PRESENT, the gift we get to enjoy together! I'm glad to be able to enjoy the present with you; and hope you're enjoying it too!

I played with StreamYard virtual studio in which I can record conversations with interesting people, like my friend Joan. She's been my un-met BFF since before the lockdown. She's been an essential element of my ongoing development of Gaia's Zoom Room and hers are the ears into which I poured my adventures overseas and on the road. The day we tested the recording capabilities of the software for the first time it turned out very well. I don't know where the recordings will be offered (probably my YouTube channel) but I feel this one belongs here. Let's see if I can make it play... |

This is one of my favourite books so I'm so glad it's mine.
According to the NHS:
As long as one's chosen reality doesn't conflict with others' reality, it can be ignored, or even indulged. If not, one may be "guided" to conform; medicated, hospitalized or institutionalized. I gotta ask: what do you think of our current reality? Would you like a different one? The trick, I believe, is working together to co-create a reality that works for all of us, as well as our Mother Earth. When She's unhappy, so are we - the reverse would be so good to experience. Imagine that... I put some thoughts down; added some pictures and graphics; then created a flip-book with Designrr. It was fun, and it looks and "feels" great to me. I'd love to know what you think -- Using the tools at the bottom, I first make it full screen and then pause playback so I can use the arrows at the side to turn the page when I'm ready. Try it -- what do you think? |
