The Day Out of Time - July 25th

July 25th is celebrated as a Day Out of Time on the Thirteen Moon calendar. The essence of this day is a beautiful one that I love to celebrate.
A brief background:
The Thirteen Moon calendar is presented as a conscious radical alternative to our modern Gregorian calendar. The philosophy behind it is to renew and revision our world beginning with taking back our time - by changing the calendar to "reclaim the natural rhythm!"
Both the Thirteen Moon and Mayan calendars were created with the purpose of orienting consciousness to the larger flow of divine creation. The intention of these calendars is to remind people of the true essence of time and to guide it's use to create heaven on Earth. Heaven is attained by flowing with creation. Rather than time passing by, they flow in it. They have a whole different presence with and concept of time; they live it as art and participate in divine creation. This is made possible by aligning with and being centered in the following: time, place, personal intent, and the divine calendar.
The Gregorian calendar that we've followed for the past 500 years is based on the solar year. The Thirteen Moon calendar is a modern application of the ancient Mayan calendar. It considers galactic timing cycles, the cycles of the moon, and the Sirius cycle as well as the solar year in it's formulas.
Although it originates from the Mayan calendar, it is much different. The difference in calculation is slight, however the result changes the spiritual signature of the day greatly. The original Mayan calendar which is still followed by the National Mayan Council Elders of Guatemala today is more closely tied to the exact natural cycles of the moon and the feminine cycle. The calculations and histories of these and many other calendars is fascinating, but way too much to go into here (maybe in a future article...).
What is the Day Out of Time?
The Thirteen Moon calendar is a standard calculation of 13 periods of 28 days. This counts for 364 days. The 365th day (to tie into the solar year) is a day between years and is celebrated as a day of no time, or Day Out of Time. This day falls every year on July 25th.
What's It All About?
The Day Out of Time is seen a zero day or a day between years. People take a day out of their usual doings and gather in ceremonies around the world. Time is celebrated as art. Peace is celebrated through culture. The peace flag is flown to remind us that “Where there is peace there is culture, where there is culture there is peace.”
Debts are forgiven and balances are cleared. Renewal is brought in for the upcoming year. Love and timelessness are the celebrated vibration of the day. I love that! :)
Love!

Being Happy - From the *Inside* Out

I've always been a people watcher.  As a young girl, I openly looked at everyone I came in contact with, wondering who was the happiest?  It was a little disheartening during my exploration to uncover that it seemed that almost everyone had a significant amount of unhappiness and troubles in life.  I guess I wanted to live a fairy tale.  Some people, however, had a great time with life, even through its challenges. I noticed that those who were overall most happiest usually had a sense of humor about their experience.  They weren't richer, more beautiful, or better off.  They were just happy with what was and were strong in rolling with it.  Everyone goes through hard times. Being truly happy is not by getting somewhere or accomplishing something.  It is a part of who you are .  It is your character, your essential being, the fabric of you.  Children are often born with a knowing of it, but many of us lose touch with this understand...

Licorice Grandpa

In high school I wrote this story about my beloved Grandpa Chuck.  I just read it again yesterday for the first time in 15 years to my son.  I am very thankful to remember these details I had forgotten and to share the essence of such a wonderful man with my boy.   I also realized how much of an impact he has made on me that still holds in my character today.  In memory of grandpa, here is the story.  Slightly edited. :) Licorice Grandpa My grandpa was simply the best.  There is no way I can describe what an incredible person he was.  He seemed to be the only grandpa alive who was still "a kid" inside.  It is because of these reasons that my grandpa Chuck has made an impact on how I live my life today. One of the best memories I have of my grandpa is going to his house every holiday.  My family would enter my grandparent's huge immaculate house and be overtaken with the strong thick smell of my grandpa's pipe.  As soon as we ...

Love Is

“…And the greatest of all these is love.” ~Corinthians You could explore and study love for your whole lifetime and still never fully understand it. You may only catch a glimpse of its fascinating possibilities. Love is one of those expansive eternal forces - far beyond our senses’ ordinary perception. It is something many dream of, imagine about, and wait for. Some say love is the essence of all there is and that love is the answer. Some say love hurts or it doesn’t even exist. Some prophets say that there is only love or fear at the root of everything - and that love is the only truth. We all have different versions and understandings of love - which evolve throughout our lifetime. They may range from a feeling for a soul mate to one about a favorite shirt. Love can be a sweet nickname or a feared word. Some express it with tenderness, others with strength. Some say I love you to everyone. Some reserve it only for “the one”. Others never say it at all. It can be as simple a...
