Everyday I Fall In Love A Little Bit More
Living here is such an incredible reminder of what is possible in terms of creating and manifesting reflections of my heart’s desires and having the peace I feel within, mirrored to me. When I first saw this house, despite knowing we would be doing a complete internal demolish and remodel, I knew the footprint, its energy, the layout, and the essence of the land here was meant for us. I always felt the end result and not the process and the Faeries kept reiterating this to me with signs, messages, and to continue to trust even when challenges arose. They told me to be patient and they would handle the details, which they did and have.
Although we’re still in remodeling mode, the major work is starting to wind down and we’re beginning to see the fruits of our labor come together.
This includes the magick of the forest land we sit on and our expansive forest backyard.
Yesterday our contractors left early so we had opportunity just before sunset to do a short hike out back. All of the photos you see here are of this trail we took from our home.
We have a whole grid work of hiking/biking trails right off our deck and yesterday we discovered a new one, which was this big loop that takes us through the forest, across a creek, along it, then through meadows, and back into the woods and along a second creek that then returns us home.
It was gorgeous and the light of the day had an aura of golden glow that just lit everything up with enchantment.
Soon this whole area will be covered in thick blankets of snow and we’ll be able to wander to our heart’s content on snow shoes. Dave intends to try out cross country skiing too, which will be perfect here as well.
To have this as our backyard is just incredible. I would say “pinch me,” but I know I’m not dreaming.
It’s taken me nearly 45 years of my life to get here, but it’s been worth the work and wait. Couldn’t have happened at a better time and goes again to show you that all things have their divine alignments, as now is when this all means the most to me and supports the next phase of life I’m entering.
Faery Succulent Fun!
So, I became a mom to 107 new succulent babies that arrived yesterday! Yay! Added to my 28 already that are part of Faery gardens and topiaries that makes 135! These new ones are part of “project decoration” for my office/faery/bunny/cosmic magick creation and play room to come. Can’t wait! Will share the finished product when complete. 
🌱
It’s not a number I planned or anything. It just turned out that way and I kind of like the 9 energy of it creating a full cycle. There may be more to come, but for now these should do.
And today I got word that the second part of “project decoration” has shipped out and is on the way. All of this, plus some other things all seem to be coming together in perfect timing, as I haven’t been able to set up my room yet, but will be able to in the next week or two.
I LOVE succulents and find them so easy and fun to love and nurture, and with a very short growing season here in Lake Tahoe, I’m much more apt to create indoor Faery gardens as extensions of the Great Outdoors brought indoors, than spending tons of time with that externally except for simple things, rock gardens, and such. Especially since I spend so much time out in Nature.
Besides, I have a whole forest as my backyard, so everything is naturally manicured by Mother Nature.
So my intent is to create my room like an indoor Faery garden itself and like an extension of the forest, inside with portals and fun, so that when I AM inside and working on creative projects, I will feel like I’m out in Nature still and in my own creative, cosmic reality.
Faery fun soon to begin! WEEEEE! Can’t wait!

Gem of the Emerald Forest Keepsake Box
Fragile
Another blog post I felt to reblog from 2 years ago, as a reminder to embrace the now and live in gratitude every moment despite the challenges at hand. Because not every day is guaranteed, go out there and live life to the fullest each moment without regrets. This is a simple and short nudge about the precious quality of life, plus a song to help reflect up on it.
First Forest Full Moon
Here at the Forest Portal headquarters we’re enjoying a snowy wonderland on this Full Moon that came in last night, blanketing our forest yard with fresh illumination both by Sun and Moon light. Seems perfect for clearing, purifying, and bringing everything to light that these energies draw forth. This is a Full Super Moon in Gemini so a lot of downloading of information and communication may come through from many sources for you to be present with so you can process through what these nudging messages have to share. Listen with your heart for the voice of your origins.
Feels like an incredibly potent doorway for releasing more old patterns, freeing up those blocks, freeing your mind and feelings from restricting controls and holds that everything outside of you has had, tuning into your heart and spirit and grounding into what they activate as remembrance of who you are, reflecting inwardly, being in silence and finding peaceful stillness, cleansing inside and out, healing for greater self-mastery, accessing personal power, illuminating the ignored, denied, and undealt with, remembering it’s your choice in how you want to experience and perceive things, and singing a new story from your heart into being.
I thought I would share these photos as inspiration and to help ignite your creative imagination to expand into greater ways possible and to visualize and imagine new potentials into being.
The first is from a few days ago of Forest Portal Magick.
The last are of Astrid tuning into the doorway of the forest a couple of days ago and then connecting to the Winter wonderland of pure imagination and potential this morning.
December 2017 Energy Update from Lee Harris
Today is the first day of December and the start of the last month of 2017 and Lee’s update illuminates the energetic landscape in clear ways. This Sunday we also have a Full Moon illuminating things, so this comes at a good time to clarify your intentions and presence of heart, as you integrate and process what Lee shares about.
Some key things he expressed point to creative and heart energy expanding in multitudinous ways right now that will touch the collective in a domino effect.
He also speaks about not getting seduced by these “ideas” that your spiritual work is better than what others are doing, as everything can all be heart-based and does have value. Seduction has the tendency to take you away from action, but action is indeed what is needed and is important to help clear things out now – not just talk about it.
This is coming in the form of grounding, especially taking place within the spiritual communities, as your work is needed HERE and needing to root in tangible ways that can be of support with the changes taking root.
Lee shares that everyday you have opportunity to create from your heart with “wonder” how you want things to be. (There’s that child like energy again that I speak so much about.)
So trust and know that you don’t owe anybody anything. If you take care of you, you will naturally be able to help others.
Lee continues in sharing about how Christmas calls up family dynamics to surface that have been buried. Lee says to ask ourselves, “What presence can I bring to Christmas? What presence can I bring to the season?”
Something you can affirm to yourself is:
“I want to be as present as possible for wonder and heart energy.”
Lee’s thoughts above and in the video, call to mind something I shared in my last newsletter of 2017 just yesterday (and last newsletter for a while).
Here are those thoughts.
We are reconfiguring things for sure and where it leads is unknown, but can only be navigated by a heart anchored in love.
2018 feels to be ushering in a greater experience of what this “togetherness” means through a deeper exploration of the quality of life we each choose, which I sense will bring even more focus on emotions surrounding dramatic opposing paradigms for us to learn more about ourselves and these seeming contradictions running amok.
In so doing, we’ll continue to find that answers can only be sought within, that heart and mind are BOTH needed, and that there is a new way uprising within all of the turmoil surfacing to induce expansion.
