Hi, dear friends and follower. Today I would like to share with you some more of my assorted poetry and verse. Thank you very much for visiting and reading.

The Nature of Nature

Composed by me +Cindy Groulx 

Like all of us, Nature has her emotions, too.

There are times when she gently weeps from sadness;

She shows her anger in raging storms.

She also can weep from happiness when replenishing the Earth,

And she shows her caring with every rainbow.

As you begin to feel sadness in the fall,

Mother nature does, too.

She seems to sigh dryly, wistfully, longing,

denuding the trees to appear dull and drab.

Again her mood changes, growing harsh and cold,

And the Earth is scolded like a naughty child!

Her winds rise from the north, and all turns frosty white.

Cold hearted she is as winter gales blow,

covering the land with a blanket of white.

Come the spring, blossoms bloom,

and once again the birds sing.

Nature is at peace with the world.

Her benevolence is seen in every forest and field

as she contentedly sings lullabies in the mountains,

and makes music with the surf on the beach.

She cradles new life in her arms as she watches

It grow and learn to walk and to fly and climb trees.

In summer, nature boils and goes into a “heated debate,” 

When the burning sun scorches all that it touches

And the heat torments almost every living thing.

Yes , Mother Nature can be quite hot-tempered,

Her conduct far from gentle and demure.

But after her rage she weeps in sorrow

for her tirade,

and her tears replenish life all about.

Dreams at Dusk

Composed by me +Cindy Groulx 

I feel exhilaration as I walk in the forest;

At dusk, I feel whole and alive again.

I feel real, I feel blessed, and grateful to be

here under the dazzling starlight above.

My heart sings, takes flight, and soars high above,

beyond the tree tops, and the mountain heights.

The forest below me sings my songs

As I drift by in an ocean of longing.

I find tranquility that gives me strength

And heals my heart and soothes my spirit.

At the pond’s edge I stop and turn myself thrice;

This was where thrice I have loved and felt love.

Dare I dream now of a new, harmonious world?

I fall asleep on the bank of the pond

Under dusk’s dreamy starlight, the first of the evening.

Into my dreams slip love and romance

Gliding in as I count the stars above.

They send me the visions of the one I know,

The only one whom I will ever love;

For there is no other for me.

In the mist the moon rises

As a beacon for this fairy.

I embrace its rays, the mist and all;

The sparkling stardust is like snow to my eyes.

I am now in the dream I have sought all this evening;

No more troubling thoughts will there be

as my mind moves with sure steps forward.

I am brave and I trust and I am all that I wish for,

relaxed and enchanted at the glistening falls.

Just where am I going and, oh, where have I been?

The hypnosis of the misty moon leads me on

And draws me ever deeper into my dream.

Hi, dear friends and followers. Welcome to my blog. Today I have a poem and a verse for you I hope you enjoy reading them, thank you.

Burning, in the cold of the neon sun.

A short poem by me +Cindy Groulx

I quietly sat

and let my spirit go,

in the setting sun's *

red and golden glow.

The horizon's ablaze

with the sunset's fire;

and there I sat waiting,

waiting for my beloved,

the one in the world

to return to me.

In a time long ago

he left my side and 

I was told there was no return.

But I choose to believe,

so here I sit and wait, burning,

in the cold of the neon sun.

I wish we could know

when to hold on 

and when to let go.



A walk in the forest

A short poem by me +Cindy Groulx

Have you ever felt something mystical in the clean, still forest air?

It is an invigorating feeling as you walk in the forest, like the air was electrified,

alive with an energy not normally felt in a heavily populated area.

Walking through forest stimulates so many of our senses, 

in ways that we might not otherwise have know we had. 

There is a spell cast when you come close to nature

and the trees. The dancing lights, the dark shadows, 

the mist, and the echo of bird songs,

bouncing off towering columns of bark and wood. 

This is a time to rest, and to reflect, 

as well as tempt you into further exploration.

It is like being a child again, on a new adventure

in the misty green forest, filled with mysteries to discover.

Do you share empathy with animals?

Do you share empathy with animals?

Composed by me, +Cindy Groulx 

Hi, dear friends and followers. Today I would like to share with you on the topic of Empathy, Intuition and animals. Thank you for coming and I hope you enjoy reading this entry.

You might be empathic towards animals if:

You and your pets know what the other thinks or feels;

Shortly after such an animal was in your thoughts, or you saw a certain animal in a picture or on TV, you encounter a similar type of animal, possibly with someone walking by with a similar pet or an animal you see in the park or in the woods;

Sometimes you feel trapped or confined even though you have plenty of room to move around. Or you catch yourself talking to animals and even insects that attract your attention;

When you look into your pet’s eyes and not only feel what they feel but think you can see right into their being. You feel like you can understand an animals feelings better than you do those of people;

You strongly relate to certain types of animals, (e.g., certain animals and even insects that attract me most, which for me would be too extensive to list here). I was born and raised in woodland country where I spent much of my time in the woods;

Pets find YOU, even though you are not particularly looking for them. (This includes having other family members’ furry friends “adopt” you despite your indifferent manner and lack of attention.).

I find it hard sometimes to enjoy a meal that has animal meat product in it, wondering if that animal suffered before getting to my dinner plate.

At first, this fact seemed counter-intuitive until I further explored my intuitive “hits.”

Highly sensitive people perceive the energy of foods. The cleaner your diet and lifestyle, the more you’ll perceive that energy. For an example: Have you ever looked into a fish’s eyes or seen a fish wriggling on a hook? Does that sensation seem familiar to you?

How can you tell where you are on the animal empathy continuum? Experiment with it!

You can eliminate animal products from your life for two days and then reintroduce them. Pay attention to your immediate reaction as well as to how you feel the following two days. If unsure, ask others to observe your mood and behavior without telling them why you want to know. If neither you, nor anyone else notices a difference in your energy, mood, level of gratitude or happiness or how animals respond to you, then you can stop here or keep experimenting–your choice.

If you want to continue eating meat, dairy and eggs, then gently acknowledging the sacrifice of the animal’s being for your meal can help you do so in peace. “Tuning in” to animals goes both ways. If you can feel the effects of the animal in the product, then you can also tune in to the animal’s spirit to offer a quick thank you.

A person who is empathetic towards animals gathers information in the same way an intuitive empathetic person does. The main difference is that this is an area of specialized intuitive work. Not all who are intuitive or empathetic can feel animals, and vice versa.

For me, since I have been around wilderness and domestic animals since the age of five, I can easily tune into their emotions when I am around them and aware of them and even If I am not aware of them they make themselves noticed.

I can easily discern why an animal is behaving a certain way and what effect, if any, an owner may have on the animal.

As an intuitive, I can feel what is causing the emotional reaction of a certain domestic pet or wilderness animal. It is all about what they feel from you. If you are an angry or a negative person who simply doesn’t care, or even notice the animal is there, then naturally the animal will do its utmost to make itself scarce. For the animal it works quite the opposite as well if it feels friendly, loving energy from that person.

Remember that our pets and livestock are very sensitive and intuitive as well. They are able to pick up on our own emotional states and patterns fairly easily. Often times animals will act them out or resist against them which in turn causes them unnecessary stress and physical discomfort.

How Can I Ever Trust Again?

How Can I Ever Trust Again?November 23, 2015 · by Lorna Tedder · in Relationships

Hi, Dear Friends and Followers. Thank you very much for visiting and reading my blog. Today's topic of discussion is about trust. Have you had so many trust issues in your life that you find it hard to trust enough to make new friends? Orange (notes) are my own.

Ser alguien en quien pueda confiar, no se trata de promesas de hacer las cosas para mí, promete ser conmigo, o promete ser un buen administrador de mi corazón. Es, en cambio, trata de hacer, sobre las acciones, sobre la prueba inherente a en su apoyo.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the last two years, my biggest personal hurdle has been trust. I was burned to ash and left with the constant question of “how can I ever trust anyone again?” How many years would I have to be with someone and how deep would the relationship have to be for me to feel comfortable again that I could trust as I had once before?

Within the first of the last two years, I let two other people into my life, let them get close, and ventured a toe out onto the ice, believing that I could trust.

That I wanted to trust. That I didn’t want to be jaded.

Both were people I had known for quite some time and had never seen any bad behavior from either of them. Unfortunately, they both showed a backstabbing, vindictive side full of deceit that I never would have guessed for either. Then again, I suppose that’s what I was looking for in every relationship, both new and old, platonic or romantic, drawing it to me because I could still smell the smoke in my clothes from the last one.

One of my newer friends, a very gifted intuitive, sat me down about halfway through the second year and talked to me about trust.

“How could I ever trust anyone again?” I asked her. “I’ve been trying but every new person to walk into my life seems to be a reflection of a past relationship. And as soon as their wavering images solidified into something recognizable, I ran like hell for fear of being manipulated again.”

“You will trust again,” my intuitive friend assured me. “You have much happiness coming to you. And you will–” she emphasized will yet again– “you will trust again. More quickly and more deeply than you can imagine.”

Note: My partner has mentioned this to me many times on days when I have discussed this matter about friends. It almost seems like I carry an aura around me that spells the word "sucker" or "kick me." Yet I would do anything to reach out to others if they needed it. I am a very caring and loving individual who wishes she had a bandage for every scraped knee in the world. Maybe people can see this, and this is the part of my nature that of which people like to take advantage. 
I shook my head. “I just don’t see it,” I told her. “I mean, how can I ever get there? It would take–oh, I don’t know–at least five years, maybe a decade, before I could ever trust anyone again.”

She laughed at me. “I don’t know how, just that you do. And that you go through a long tunnel before it happens. But it’s not too far off. The weather will still be warm.”

I woke on a warm September morning and knew that everything had changed. I couldn’t say what had made it change, exactly. My astrologer friends reminded me that Venus had gone direct during the night, but it seemed something more. I woke knowing that there are people in my life that I trust with my life, and this knowing was sudden. It hadn’t always been so, or if it had, it hadn’t always been obvious, but I had a small handful of close friends and family who would back me up on anything. Though I tend not to ask for help, I knew that any one of them would come to my rescue if I were truly in trouble.

Note: Unfortunately I have no one on the outside. Most of my friends from the past have either moved on or passed on, and I do not have any family to depend on. They have lives of their own to live. I have but one person in my life and that is my roommate. She is my rock; without her I would be lost.

As for friends both in real time or online, I will always be there for them, but as for close bonds, it seems to get harder because when these bonds fall apart, it hurts me too deeply 

I knew because of little things that they had done, that meant so much. Not because of promises that weren’t kept. When one of my children was in a serious car accident, my brother rushed to the out-of-town ER to be with her until I could get there. When I was too sick to take another step, my adrenals overstressed and me not knowing how I could keep being everyone else’s pillar of strength in a particular situation, it was my younger daughter who, out of the blue, decided to come be with me and be my pillar of strength. When my heater died on a record twelve degree night, my friend Trae volunteered to leave his family (and his warm home) and drive 40 miles to get out in the cold with a flashlight and tools to get my heat going again sometime between midnight and 1 AM.

None of these instances were times when I had to ask for help, let alone beg for help. They each saw that I was in need and they were there for me. These are only three instances that come to mind now. There are more, both from these blessed people in my life as well as from others. All people I can trust, and people I do trust.

But I woke on a September morning knowing that it’s not about promises to do things for me, promises to be with me, or promises to be a good steward of my heart. It is, instead, about doing, about actions, about the proof inherent in their support.
The other thing that has changed since my intuitive friend told me I would be able to trust again is that I now can trust myself. I’ve heard it said that people who have a problem trusting others really have a problem trusting themselves. I don’t think that’s entirely true. When someone actively kills your trust in them by lying or manipulating, it’s more than a matter of being able to trust yourself, but I understand now the point about trusting yourself first.

I trust myself now in ways I never did before because I’ve now done that deep personal excavation of understanding my childhood and understanding how my father’s mental illness shaped my view of the world. I understand that my strength comes from the worst wounds in my life, as far back as three years old and as recent as two years ago.

Note: I trust myself to continue to do what I can for all who care to share with me on a daily basis. I need to care and love others because that is who I am.  I will be there for all as always, just not with the same deep emotional attachment as I have had in the past, but I will be there. With love.
I trust myself now. I trust myself that I will always be all right and that there will always be people in my life who truly are worthy of my faith in them.

How to love Mondays

Psychologies

Hi, dear friends and followers. I have run into this article on google I thought I would share with you. I hope it is of some help to you. Thank you for visiting and reading my blog
How to love Mondays

Does your Monday bring a new beginning or an end to your free weekend? Viki Wilson discovers how to bring calm energy and optimism to the start of the working week'Mondays are so unforgiving. I used to think my commute and job were to blame,’ says Jennifer, 34. ‘But since I became a freelance illustrator, enjoying working from home, I find Mondays to be equally dreadful – and so do my freelance friends.’

For most of us, Mondays mean waking to a familiar sense of gloom as we return to the stresses and demands of work. A recent survey of 11,000 workers, commissioned by the consultancy Mercer, revealed we’re more likely to be ill or take time off at the start of the week, with 35 percent of all sick days falling on a Monday. And a study carried out byDr Robert Peters of Maryland University showed that heart attacks peak on that day of the week, even if we don’t work.

Why is Monday gloom so widespread, even when we are in fulfilling jobs? ‘Most of us habitually attach negative meanings to the day. ‘We associate Mondays with a loss of freedom. We miss choosing how we will spend our time.’ Monday marks the end of days shared with family and friends or relaxed, free hours. So how can we stop our mood from sinking when Sunday draws to a close?

Finding freedom

One way to counter the sense of lost freedom is to remember that we have chosen the Mondays we face – doing whatever jobs we do. ‘Remind yourself you can always walk away. ‘This retrieves your personal power. With that, you’re able to own the day and choose the outcome you want.’

Change your mindset
A little forward planning can help us start the week more smoothly. ‘We make Mondays so much more miserable by believing we should be more productive,’ says Martin Boroson, author of The One Moment Master. ‘But Mondays are not the time for challenging work. There’s no point in cold calling, making a sales pitch or having a difficult conversation.

‘Monday mornings are the perfect time to do things that can make the rest of the week more productive, such as cleaning out some files or, better still, clarifying your goals for the week.’

‘Another good way to begin thinking differently about Mondays is to start doing things differently on that day,  says psychologist Anne Archer, editor of 101 Coaching Strategies And Techniques. ‘Making small, incremental changes will have a powerful effect on the way you think and feel. On Sunday, list five small things you could do differently on Monday. For example, give yourself an extra 10 minutes in the morning to read a book. Yes, most of us are rushing around on Mondays, but just imagine how much calmer and motivated you’ll feel to get out of bed, if you start the day this way.

‘Think up strategies like this for various parts of the day. Have something different for breakfast or, if you can’t eat, drink a glass of warm water cooled from the kettle to get your digestive system going.’

Mini-meditations
Clearing your mind with mini meditations can help you to feel calmer. ‘Few of us have time to relax on a Monday, but moments of stillness in the day can be beneficial,’ says Boroson.

‘Try this exercise, The Basic Minute, at work: create a place of solitude (the loo is often the best place!). Sit down. Set a watch or mobile phone alarm for exactly one minute. Put your legs and hands in relaxed but fixed positions. Close your eyes and allow your mind to settle into your breathing. When the alarm goes off, stop. By doing just a little meditation, you will be a bit more at peace with the day.’

Harness the Friday feeling
Adding a few weekend-style treats to your working week can make Mondays feel a little less stressful. ‘Many of us live for the weekend and look forward to having the time to rest, see friends, go shopping or out for a meal,’ says psychologist and career coach Denise Taylor.

‘But if we make time, there’s nothing to stop us having a mid-week date with friends or going to the cinema after work. Why keep all the fun stuff and good times for the weekend?’

‘Knowing that you will leave slightly early on a Wednesday to recharge will make the week seem less daunting.

You can do a lot on Friday to make Monday more bearable. ‘At the weekend, we often carry work worries home, ticking over in our subconscious minds,’ says Houlston. ‘On Friday nights, have a little “hand over” ritual, as if you were going on holiday. Write a to-do list, and get everything in place for Monday.’

‘List five things you have done really well that week,’ says Archer. ‘Then list two things that you will do differently next week. That way you will get a sense of achievement, and feel that you are learning and progressing.’

Body and soul
When you do reach the weekend, adopt healthy habits to help you feel happier and more energetic as Monday approaches. ‘Don’t forget the mind and body are interconnected,’ says Archer. ‘The food you eat, the sleep you get, and how active you are alters your body chemistry, which in turn alters your moods and thoughts.’

‘Resist the temptation to sleep in – you’ll find it harder to wake on Monday morning,’ says Dr Kem Thompson, GP and author of Inspirational Blueprints For Personal Success For Women. ‘Eat three meals plus two snacks a day, to keep energy levels constant.’

‘Avoid the temptation to de-stress by drinking lots of alcohol,’ says Archer, ‘It will contribute to an energy crash on Monday. Nurture your body, instead. Walk more and eat well.

‘Above all, stop telling yourself that you dread Mondays. The truth is, for most of us, Mondays are not too bad – and with a few little changes to our thinking habits, we can reclaim a day when the whole week lies untouched in front of us, full of potential.’
