News From the Home Office

Happy spring, everyone! The spring equinox on March 20 th and the sun’s movement into Fire sign Aries ushered in lighter, more exuberant energies. Throughout April we’ll be embracing feelings of regeneration and healing. There’s nothing I love more than a good spring.

Here on the farm I’ve been watching the local geese guard their nests while waiting for their goslings to hatch. And I’ve been reveling in the glorious birdsongs of the many different birds native to our area. Since moving to the country five years ago, I’ve gotten used to hearing hawks, woodpeckers, and mourning doves sing to each other each day. We also see the occasional red fox, and every spring we look forward to seeing baby deer with their adorable white spots and fuzzy little faces.

On the work front, things have been extremely busy. It’s become more of a challenge to keep LipstickMystic.com updated. I was recently asked by several people if they could make a donation to the site to help support new content, so I’ve set up a PayPal donation button on my Home page. http://www.lipstickmystic.com/home.html.

Any contribution is welcome, and your donation will allow me to keep new content flowing. I have several fabulous guest interviews in the works as well as many special articles and Mystic Mail features.

Thanks to all of you who continue to send “fan mail,” too, describing how LipstickMystic.com has inspired and uplifted you. I love to receive feedback from readers. Even if I don’t have a chance to get back to you personally, please know that every one of your emails is read and appreciated!

Tapping Into the Cosmic Internet

I’d like to share a true story with you about the Cosmic Internet, that spiritual web of energy that connects us all. This energy is active in all of our lives. The challenge is to stop and take notice when it's activated.

One morning not long ago I was brushing my teeth, half-awake, getting myself ready to greet the day. Random thoughts scrambled through my foggy brain, as is typical when I haven’t yet had my morning cup of coffee. A Beatles tune played for awhile in my head. Then I suddenly remembered that I needed to buy orange juice. After that, some scenes from a Seinfeld rerun skittered through my thoughts.

And then the mental “channel surfing” stopped. Without warning, the image of an old friend of mine popped into my head. I hadn’t seen Steve for years, as he had moved to Paris after high school and had lived there ever since. We exchanged occasional Christmas cards and the rare phone call. Ages ago, we had been good buddies. Now contact between us was infrequent. And yet now, all of a sudden, for no apparent reason, his face was appearing on my mental viewscreen. Why was that, I wondered? It sure seemed strange.

As his image came to mind, I also found myself wondering about Steve’s father and how he was doing. Steve’s parents had divorced when Steve was still a kid, and his dad had moved away to Mississippi, where he had remarried. Steve wasn’t very close to his dad while he was growing up, but he sometimes visited him during the summers. Now that Steve was living in Paris, I doubt that he saw his dad at all. And given the difficulties within their relationship, it was unlikely that they called or wrote much either.

I felt a surge of empathy for Steve about his emotional distance from his dad and a sense of sorrow that the two men weren’t closer. I don’t know why the feeling came upon me so suddenly, but it did.

Then I shook the feeling off. There I was, still standing in front of my bathroom mirror, gazing off into space like an idiot. What was all this nonsense about Steve and his dad cropping up in my thoughts? I must just be in the mood to reminisce. Surely I had better things to do with my time today. After all, I did need to buy orange juice!

I left the house a short time afterwards to run errands and officially start my day. I forgot about Steve for a while and focused on other things instead. The orange juice was purchased. The bank and the post office were visited. Normal daily tasks in the life of Jennifer Shepherd.

When I got home a few hours later, there was a message on my voice mail. It was from Steve! “Jennifer, I’m back in the United States. My dad died a few days ago, and I’m flying back from his funeral today. I’ll be at my mom’s tonight, so maybe we can see each other. I’ll give you a call later.”

A shot of pure adrenalin raced through my bloodstream. Steve was in the U.S.! And at the exact time I was brushing my teeth that morning; he was probably thinking about calling to let me know that he would like to get together later. And it was really strange that I had been thinking about Steve’s dad, a man I had never even met, feeling sad about his estrangement from his son. The same progression of feelings and thoughts were no doubt racing through Steve’s mind, too! I was amazed at how attuned Steve and I had been that morning.

I went to see Steve later that day, and we had a really good talk about his dad and what his dad had meant to him. I think Steve’s heart was finally beginning to heal from the years of anger at his dad. It was just a shame that much of the healing was taking place after the man’s death.

I told Steve about the sensations I had experienced earlier in the day – his image popping into my head, and me wondering how his dad was doing. Steve wasn’t too surprised, as he has known me all of his life and has seen my intuition in action on many occasions. But we were still touched by our special connection. It was like Steve and I were telepathically linked through some invisible network of energy. Somehow, I had been able to tap into this energy and receive information about him and his dad.

We made some jokes about the Internet and how it was like Steve had sent me some mental “email” to let me know what was going on. I liked that analogy. Perhaps all of us are linked by a Cosmic Internet of sorts, a spiritual network of ley lines which connect us all, soul to soul. I know that I’ve felt messages come in to my spiritual “in box” countless times.

You might want to see how attuned you are to the Cosmic Internet. Spend a week or so paying careful attention to thoughts that suddenly come into your head about other people, especially loved ones. You may want to jot down some notes about the feelings or impressions you receive. Then check with each person the next time you talk to them. “Denise, the other afternoon I was getting the sense that you were really mad about something. What was going on?” Or: “Dad, were you planning to call me the other day? You suddenly came into my mind around 10 o’clock.” With a little detective work, you will most likely find that some of your impressions were valid.

Don’t be afraid to open up to this special form of spiritual intimacy. WE are all sharing a magnificent journey on this Earth, and by attuning ourselves to each other’s psychic wavelength, we can learn to understand each other better. And greater understanding can create feelings of kinship and larger possibilities for peace.
