If the only prayer you ever said was ‘Thank You’ that would be enough!”

 Hello Everyone
     Happy New Year to all!  I would like to take a moment to thank you all for your patronage. The Jade Fox is in its Tenth Year.  They say it takes that long for a business to get established.  Well it’s always been based on a wing and a prayer so it’s a Miracle all the way around as far as I am concerned. Thank you all for being a part of that Miracle.
     I had been waiting for some inspiration to hit to begin writing this months Newsletter. After all we are starting off a New Year. I for one feel a Grand Year is here. As I look around at some of the things going on in the world, I get a feeling that not everyone feels this way. I began thinking about that and I came to the conclusion that the world I live in is a whole lot different than the mass 3D world.  In the past few articles I have talked about choosing the place you will be in, if not consciously you will be in the place according to your energetic frequency. My dilemma with this month’s newsletter comes to me in the form of *Paradox’s, which through the years I have come to understand are the greatest truths. How can I feel so good about everything when there is a catastrophic event that wiped out so many human lives (the tsunami and earthquake in Indonesia)? I wondered how to write about my own feelings of greatness in the coming year in the wake of this global disaster without seeming heartless etc. Well I will explain the best I can. I always believe that divinity has a reason, a plan of greater design, even in the midst of this cosmic event.  In my own life there have been many things that seemed down right devastating at the time of the event and later down the road, even a year or two, I could see the blessing in those events. Many of you remember the tragedy of the little girl who was abducted in our area of upstate NY “Sara Ann Woods”. The tragedy of Sara’s abduction and disappearance brought a unity of all the surrounding communities and a new awareness and compassion for such tragedy’s. The community became unified. What if this Tsunami is the beginning of something as Grand as World Unity! Nothing can overshadow the personal grief of those living or dying through the tsunami, but in the belief that everything happens for a reason, I get a deep heart feeling that this tragic event will be a harboring of world Compassion and Unity that will overshadow some of the negativity that wars, violence and natural earth changes have become all to common in the world. We can only approach this tragedy through Compassion. Remember when the Dalai Lama made a statement when asked about the Chinese Invasion of Tibet which resulted in the death of millions.  He said “Compassion is my response to my people and to the Chinese.”  The paradoxes of our universal laws are that we may never understand or fathom, the cycles, deaths, births. Compassion is the only true way to respond to such an event, be it the Tsunami, or an abduction of one child.  It is the only answer that holds any power.  I could go on and on. But I wanted to give you this in a nutshell; the Grand design is much bigger than we can know. Get in touch with your inner self, the place where we can feel the energy of such an event and feel where it might take us in the future. I also want to remind everyone that negativity and violence are energy and many times mother earth must release the build up of such energies and my feeling is that the tsunami represented such a release on a massive scale. You each in your own way through daily life can help the earth by not feeding into mass negativity, keeping a check on your own patterns of negativity whether they are anger, bad habits, etc. We each do add to the energy of this planet and the more we become enlightened and aware of how our actions effect the Grand design we begin to understand that we have to be responsible for our own energetic part of this planet…compassion again is the answer.

 This brings me to another paradox!

     In August of 2004 I began to experience a huge shift in energy.  What was stagnant moved, almost as if behind the scenes, a tremendous amount of rearranging had been going on. During the waiting prior to August, there was a choice of the new energy, which required the letting go of the old energies of the previous Judy regime! The distinctive energy of waiting with no movement was necessary to clear out the old, In August I must have reached critical mass type energy because everything started moving forward very forcefully and rapidly. This is the most incredible energy I have ever felt. Moving to New Spaces happened so fast and in order to function more fully in this New Space I find myself changing rapidly, I feel like I am being totally rewired, physically, mentally, emotionally. This creates lots of symptoms physically. This is happening all over, not just to me.  I am finally starting to settle a little bit, but I want to tell you that it feels like a paradox as it is happening. You feel physically like you have something you are sure is going to kill you, because you ache all over and have no energy yet everything seems to need you to go faster. You find yourself in a new location or job, even though you didn’t expect it. You just went with the moves without really understanding why, until you finally figure out you now have the courage to just do!  Now that I am here I love the energy of the area the store is located in. The energy inside the store is just so much higher than the store in Utica. I come to work and even though I may be exhausted or tired or aching I just feel good to be in the building. The building itself was empty for 7 years, enough time for much of the old energies from others to be gone and the remodeling helped even more. I find myself being more reverent inside mindful of what I am doing.  This new pattern and energy erupted upon my arrival here. I also changed from a totally solitary creature to a partner; this totally is changing me in ways I never expected. Always one to do things my way, I am thoroughly enjoying David’s wisdom and input into the business. He compliments me in ways I never imagined. He is the genius behind the website, many of the new displays and packaging. Many of the things I didn’t have the time to do, he seems to do them with ease and the whole package of us sure works better than either of us separate. This energy encompassed every area of my life and it is my feeling that this will happen to many who seem to be going through some very difficult times. You might be drawn to an area where there are like minded people and pockets of area’s you will find this new energy.  You will see people leave your life and new ones come in, relationships ending and then realigning with someone just right for you. I here stories everyday from people that have lost everything, been forced into poverty, or lost a loved one through death or divorce. The most amazing thing is that each personal story is having a good ending because the problems they encountered made them try harder, reach deeper, release old wounds and finally things just began to accelerate to a point where they had moved, met new people began to experience abundance, got new jobs or changed careers totally. It is truly amazing this new energy and you are a part of that. Try to follow your instincts, be true to yourself, and develop good integrity. All these things will help bring you into the new energy.  I can tell you it is wonderful and the gratitude I feel in every moment brings more for me to feel grateful for. I can only encourage you all to move forward through the tough stuff, even when sometimes it’s hard, just keep going. The new energy will find you and you will be able to see what I am talking about.

I would love some feedback and stories from any of you that are feeling this so that we can share them with others.  I think they would help others keep going and give them understanding and hope for the future. So if you have a story please share it and I will include it in next months newsletter               

 Bright Blessings   Judy
