Personal Oracle for the Year of the Horse
 |

The
frantic barks were too much to ignore. I closed my laptop and walked out to the
deck expecting to see a horse and rider trotting along the arroyo behind the
house. What I saw instead was a
woman strolling along in a long white skirt with boots on her feet. A rope in
her hand was looped around the neck of a majestic white horse with no saddle.
The rope that connected the woman and the horse was slack, as if they were out
for a leisurely walk together. I watched in amazement. Everything in me wanted
to call out to her, but I knew better. She glanced over, we waved and it felt
like a blessing.
The
significance of the event began to expand when I shared the story with a
friend. I told her that since it occurred January 1, I felt like it was a New
Year’s Day gift from the universe. That’s when she mentioned that 2014 is the
Year of the Horse.
It
reminded me of a reading I had the year before Tarcher/Penguin purchased my
manuscript. The reader looked at the cards spread out before us and said that
she’d never seen so many horses in one reading, explaining that to her horse
represented Spirit. She went on to say that I had been working diligently for
decades like a camel carrying the load on my own. She said from that point on
Spirit would carry my first book out into the world. The reader was right. All
of the right people have been drawn to EVERYDAY ORACLES. Each sharing their
expertise, all serving as spirit horses if you will. I am grateful for the
visible and invisible ways Spirit continues to move the message of personal
oracles through the amazing web of interconnections that link and support us
all.
The
woman and the horse walking together were a New Year’s Day personal oracle: a
sign to me that Spirit will be there to carry my new projects, Cloud-Speak
Personal Oracle Book and Cards and Personal Oracle Cafes, out into the world in
2014.
I was putting the finishing touches on this blog when an owl called.
Intrigued, I followed the sound and discovered a brown owl sitting perfectly
still, camouflaged within the branches of a Palo Verde tree. Something kept drawing me back to the
window; I thought it was to catch owl moving. The last time I looked something made me step outside. As I
closed the door behind me I heard horses hooves approaching from the distance
and caught a glimpse of two horses and riders. They moved closer and I
recognized one as the woman and her magnificent white horse. This time she was
fully engaged in the act of riding. She was adorned in riding gear, complete
with helmet, as was the person on the chestnut horse riding the well-worn path
with her.
I invite you to
become fully engaged and join me in 2014 to
manifest your intention supported by spirit horse energy.
- What are your goals and dreams?
- Are you willing to do the hard work required to bring them to fruition?
- How about harnessing the energy of this year of the horse to help you make your dreams come true?
The Chinese year of the
horse is a time for all people to go forward confidently in the direction of
their goals and dreams.
