Our situation is impossible without help and gifts from beyond ourselves.
~Charles Eisenstein, https://charleseisenstein.net
I recently spent time with my daughter and family. I am so pleased to see how she and her husband have taught their children to ask for help when they get frustrated by a task that is too difficult for them. The 4-year-old is experienced in doing this and even the little one who is only 18 months old knows to say, ‘help please’ when she needs help. Naturally, they want to be independent and do things for themselves. But there are times when an adult’s helping hand is handy and it’s a useful skill to know when to ask for that assistance.
As adults, most of us still have times when we need to discern when to do things for ourselves and when to ask for help. The ‘rugged individualist’ culture in the U.S. has ingrained many of us with the idea that we should be independent and not depend on others for our wants and needs. Yet what a lonely place that can create. The other end of the spectrum-expecting others to do things that are more appropriate for us to do for ourselves-is not desirable. There’s an interdependent middle ground and balance that we seek. This is true for our individual lives as well as within the collective.
I had to smile when I felt Gaia sending a message through me…on Mother’s Day! I hope you are having a good one!
Blessings, Mary

My beloved co-creators,
My heart reaches out with love to each person, creature, plant and every part of creation on earth. All are precious to this mother’s heart. Each part of life is a like a musical note with its own unique tone and vibration. When we work together, we create a beautiful melody and all is well.
When we don’t, things are off key and problems arise. Right now, the earth is facing some big problems. Solutions are available if we work together.
Humans have a special place in the earth realm. You are partners in creation! Yet many people are not aware of this. Some want to do things based on their personal desires, without considering the effect on the whole. Others feel powerless and passive, not sure of how to use their creative power.
Your partners in the Unseen Realm are eager to be recognized and asked to help co-create heaven on earth with you. How we long to have you acknowledge that going your own willful way is not working well. The earth problems you are confronting are opportunities to work together to create harmony, beauty and abundance.
An oft repeated theme of mine is, ‘ask for help’! Humans have so many gifts to use and share. Yet nature has wisdom and guidance that is needed, as well.
Perhaps you are wondering how to ask for help. Spend some quiet time in nature. Sit with your back against a tree or go for a walk. Ask a question or share a situation that you need some ideas about what to do. Perhaps you won’t hear an answer immediately but perhaps you will. Just be open to answers and possibilities flowing to you. When you are peaceful and receptive, many doors to the Unseen Realm can open and communication flows between us.
Please believe that you are loved beyond measure. I am not angry or vindictive, despite what some people think. We want the same things. We just need to listen to each other and work and play together.
Rest against my heart when you are frightened or lonely or weary. Sense the love surrounding you each moment. Ask for what you need and we can co-create it together. Dear ones, know how precious you are to the Divine. Our love is always available to you, only love, always love, love overflowing.
I am Gaia, your Earth Mother, your friend.
