First Crop Circle of 2007

My Dear Friends and Fellow Travelers,

I wish to share with you the first crop circle in England for 2007 and its special significance to our time. You will note that the circle holds a special message. It has seven lines representing the divine feminine, the sacred union within each of us. It also represents oneness and infinity; the 7 chakras, 7 planes and the 7 stages of transparency which started at Winter Solstice progressing with each new moon until the June full moon takes us across a major transformational threshold. It reinforces for each of us the importance of gratitude and the many blessing we receive each time we express it. As we look within, experience healing, wholeness, and forgiveness; we move into oneness which brings a new awareness of who we are. We come to understand that with each vibrational change we go through, a sacred union is taking place in our lives which brings us to a place of being more consciously aware of our inner shifts and our movements towards the 5th dimension.

With the new dispensations, energies and vibrations coming in, 2007 is the year that brings us fully into our consciousness. We are now ready to fully experience our beautiful connections and awareness to the world beyond that which we see. We will connect with one another in a way that allows us to heal from our belief of separation, letting go of fear, so that we can embrace our oneness and embrace our God Self. Through this knowing we come to understand that we cannot be separate from God.

To honor this special crop circle I am offering a special gift of gratitude:

Greetings Dear Friends,

I would like to express my deep gratitude to each of you for your support and love in 2006 which was a great year of many adventures and sacred journeys that I would like to share with you in the articles below. However as wonderful as it was, I am now looking forward to the many exciting upcoming Divine Feminine Conferences and Tours (details below) that are happening this year and the continued opportunity to commune, to share, to learn, and to be in joyous co-creation with so many of you.

Blessings, love, and peace,

Adventures and Journeys of 2006,

In May we had the Awaken to the Divine Feminine conference in Tucson, AZ which was a great success. In June we had a sacred sites tour of France and a sacred sites tour of Ireland. I attended Barry Dunford's Summer Solstice conference in July then led a sacred sites tour of Scotland. I was one of the participants at the Mary Magdalene feast day festival in Glastonbury in August. In September we had a sacred sites tour of Ireland and a tour in the Dublin/Boyne Valley area of Ireland with Margaret Starbird. Margaret Starbird and some other folks who also participated in the Awaken to the Divine Feminine Conference in Dublin, then continued on with a four day sacred journey to Scotland including Iona, Roslyn chapel, the sacred valley of Glenlyon -and pleasure of being shown around Glenlyon by Barry and Theresa Dunford ( Barry is the author of the Holy Land of Scotland). After another Awaken to the Divine Feminine conference in Reading, England, we did a 4 day sacred sites tour of Stonehenge, Glastonbury, Avebury, etc. and then proceeded on to France visiting Chartres Cathedral for a two day workshop on the Cathedral followed by a sacred sites tour of France with Claire Heartsong and 18 other souls.

Now here we are in 2007 a year of major shifts in consciousness. As we navigate the changes in our live's/soul's journey we release and let go of old patterns and dispensations to embrace the new as we open ourselves to the vibrations and energies of the 5th dimension. As we embrace with love and gratitude these new vibrations and tre energies of the Universal Christ Consciousness/Divine Feminine, we will experience sacred union and the falling away of old patterns, relationships, friendships and jobs that no longer serve us as the new light of transparency enters each area of our lives. This transparency will be experienced in all facets of our lives including government, business and family aspects as the new vibration brings everything that is hidden to the surface. (We are already experiencing this in government but the lid has just being lifted. Watch for more major revelations in government and business.) Gone are the days when things can be swept under the carpet or that we are not told about things for our 'own good'. NOW is the time when everything will be brought to the surface for us to view in transparency. The people will demand it! This process has already begun in other countries such as Ireland, France and Germany. 2007 is the year that brings us fully into our consciousness and the new dispensations, energies and vibrations. We will also more fully experience our beautiful connections and awareness to the world beyond what we see. We will connect with one another in a way that allows us to heal from our belief of separation, allowing us to embrace our oneness, letting go of fear, and embrace our God Self. Through this knowing we come to understand that we cannot be separate from God.

I am writing this newsletter on a visit to Dubai, a place of great beauty and prosperity. When I informed my friend, Michelle Elhoff, that I would be visiting Dubai for 15 days this is what she sent me about Dubai.

"Dubai is one of the sites for the new Cosmic Portals being activated this year. Because of its high level of prosperity consciousness, it has been elected as the site to anchor the Cosmic Grid of Prosperity Consciousness through the manifestation of Divine Balance between masculine & feminine. The grid will serve as a trigger to bring about planetary equality and respect, and the conscious acknowledgement of women (the Divine feminine) being the crucial aspect of the process of conception, nurturance and manifestation which makes it possible for men (the Divine masculine) to create, therefore equal in power. In fact this information is the basis of what I will be talking about at the Divine Feminine Conference you have invited me to. Part of your role is to consciously connect with the new portal and grids and align your energy field with it. You are one of the earth anchors for this grid. You being there in Feb is perfect! You will also link this Grid of Balance to the Crown & Heart Chakra points of England & Ireland when you next return there. Your presence in Feb is preparing the way for me and other Lightworkers who will be there later this year to facilitate the final anchoring. So, thank you!!!!!!"

I can tell you that Dubai is a wondrous place. Anyone who has the opportunity, should visit Dubai to feel the prosperity consciousness vibration of this place. Much to my amazement, women are very much honored here and are very much in the business world. In fact they are better managers than the men! The local young people are being highly educated in business, especially the young women. Since the native Duboins only account for 20 percent of the population, the rest are a cosmopolitan mix from around the world.

Last September Margaret Starbird, I, and a group of fellow travelers, went to Scotland after the Dublin Awaken to the Divine Feminine conference. While there, we were in the chapel on Iona and I received a message that our group had agreed to be on Iona at this time to close down an old dispensation and to initiate the birthing of a new era. This message was confirmed for us again three days later at Roslyn Chapel. I was explaining to Sharon, one of our group, about certain vibrational energy vortexes in the chapel. A lady, Judy Goodman from Georgia who was there with her own group, came up and said to me, "I apologize for interrupting you, I don't normally do this, but I have a message for you. Is it ok if I give it to you?" I said yes. The message was that we were there fulfilling a commitment that we had made eons ago to be there at at this place, at this time.

As I journeyed throughout 2006 I was very aware from the Autumn Equinox on that major changes were in process and was told that the old dispensations would finally end. Winter Solstice in the ancient Celtic tradition is the time of the year when the mother goes deepest into the womb to rest as the sun stands still for three days before she re-emerges with her new vibration. In the world of Universal Christ Consciousness we would say it is when the Christ energy (balanced energy) goes deepest into the womb of the earth to rest for three days and re-emerge with it's new vibration. This new energy/vibration is the energy of the NOW, affecting the whole world and our own lives. With the vibrationalchange that takes place at the time of each full moon - starting with a growing shift after the February full moon and a major infusion at the Spring Equinox, major new awareness of our impending shift into the 5th dimension is brought into our lives. This continues with each full moon until the full moon of Gemini when we will experience ourselves crossing a major threshold in our lives. The time is Now - the OMEGA POINT.

I would like to introduce you to a fellow Irish woman, Aine Armour Barrett. She and I have decided to work together to get the word out about our respective work. Please visit her website Celtic Fire and Faerie to see the wonderful things that she is doing with nature. Aine tells us that this is the time of the Spirit Keepers and that those of us who have been on Earth through many cycles have embodied within ourselves the spirit of certain portals on Earth.

Don Bosco Orphanage- Negombo, Sri Lanka,

How did the orphanage start?
Negombo is a beautiful and well-established beach resort providing a wonderful setting for tourists and holiday makers. Unfortunately, it also attracts a number of sex tourists who see the city's beach children as easy prey for sexual exploitation. The orphanage was founded in 1993 in response to this specific problem with the intention of providing a safe and loving refuge for boys who had been abused or were at risk of such abuse.

Who do you care for today?
We care for boys and young men from every corner of Sri Lanka. Our boys come from all ethnic groups and religious denominations including Roman Catholics, Muslims, Buddhists and Hindus. We do not try to convert the children to Catholicism. Each child that comes to us does with so with a personal history of sorrow and suffering. Sri Lanka does not have the same level of social service support that is available in Western Europe or North America. Some children are:

• Abandoned by families unable to care for them because of drug abuse or poverty
• Street kids and beach boys at great risk of abuse or exploitation
• Runaways from abusive families or enforced child -labor
• Victims of war. (We currently care for a number of Tamil boys who were conscripted as soldiers.)
• Orphans
• Tsunami orphans

How many children are orphans?
Only a small number of children have lost both parents. Many have lost one parent and come to us because the remaining parent is unable to cope. Others lived with step-parents, relatives, or grand parents until they came to live with us. Some children have been rescued from situations where they were exploited as cheap labor in factories.

Do the children with living parents have any contact with them?
Yes. We feel that the family is the most fundamental unit of society, and encourage and support the attachment between parent and child. We arrange formal parent meetings on two Sundays each month, and offer advice and support with parenting skills. When a child has no family contact we endeavor to find a family with whom he can stay during school holidays whenever possible.

Do the children go to school?
Boys aged under the age of 11 attend the local primary school. Those over the age of 11 attend the local high school. Others attend our own technical college.

Although Sri Lanka has free education for all children, the quality of that education is often very poor. Teachers supplement their salary by offering after-school revision classes. This creates an inequality for poor children whose families cannot afford the cost of additional schooling. These children often fail to progress in the end of year tests. Consequently they drop out of school before completing their education. The cycle of poverty continues as poor children are denied the opportunity to escape through education.

Here at the center we arrange after-school classes by qualified teachers 5 days a week. The children from the orphanage all benefit from this service as do the local children of poor families who are welcome to attend free of charge. We offer classes for all children - from the very youngest learners to those about to take 'O' Level exams at the age of 16. We also offer remedial support for those children who have difficulties in learning to read and write.

What other services are offered to the children?
We offer a safe and loving home for our children, providing them with shelter, food, education, and medical care. We take seriously the mental health needs of the children providing a trained counselor for each and every child. The children's all- round development is encouraged through regular outings, sporting events, coaching, and music. At Don Bosco we have no fewer than 3 musical bands! Many of our younger boys enjoy weekly musical tutoring as part of being in a marching band.

How much does it cost to run the orphanage?
It costs approximately $80,000 to run the orphanage for one year. Each child costs just over £$750 to support annually. We receive no government funding. The orphanage is financed entirely through the generosity of benefactors.

How can I help?
We would be delighted to receive your support by either sponsoring a child or by making a one-time donation to our work.
