Pearls of Wisdom

I would like to offer a few pearls of wisdom from 74 years of life and countless dreams…

Trust in life. Trust in love. Trust in yourself. Trust in your dreams, both sleeping and waking.

The trick to seeing our Dreams Come True is to stop our minds from ruling our life!

If we only knew what we are truly capable of and how much humanity is supported by the entire cosmos, we would have our lives perfectly on track in alignment with Our Greatest Good in a matter of weeks or months.

We think we need to know it all in order to have it all. And yet the only way to Have It All is to Surrender To The Unknown!

We have to give up having to know. We have to stay open. We have to be like water.

What does that mean? It means we have to hold our future plans loosely and be ready to pivot or merge when change comes to call. It means we must face our fears and forgive ourselves and others regarding the past. It means we see present time as a gift. It means we serve ourselves and others through Divine Will while floating effortlessly in the Sea of Love.

To top off this treasure trove of thought, I offer you the grand mother of all pearls of wisdom!

Everything is happening exactly as it should.

Can you take this in? I know it’s difficult. But try it on for a while… like a classic outfit that is well complemented by some heirloom jewellery… your Grandmother’s pearl necklace or your Grandfather’s pearl cufflinks or that ‘estate sale’ ring you found in the thrift shop.

And while you’re at it, be as gentle with yourself as you would handle a priceless heirloom. Be as kind to yourself as if you are offering comfort to a hurting child. Be as patient as if you are an eternal being with all the time in the world.

Because you are…

With love, peace, truth and grace,
Lyn

The Business of Love

Dear One,

Can we talk? About love and life and what the heck we are doing here on earth?

After seven decades of being involved in the usual spectrum of endeavours, growing up, being married, managing motherhood, studying for degrees, working at jobs or businesses, teaching and creating music, writing books and (finally) to knowing the sacred wisdom of dreams, I have distilled the essence of MY ULTIMATE POSITION in this life. Here it is…

I am in THE BUSINESS OF LOVE! And the only offering of this business is ALL OF ME!

I know that may sound Hippie-Dippy, too easy, overly simplistic or even totally unrealistic! But please humour me… and pause for 11 minutes or so to watch a video I made…

And then perhaps pause a few moments each day in the coming months to consider how you might find ways to simplify your life and ultimately find YOUR BUSINESS OF LOVE.

I, for one, would love to see THE REAL YOU! I daresay s/he’s dying to be seen also. And I know for sure you are the only one who can offer this precious gift to the rest of us.

Give it a try! What have you got to lose? I offer you all my support. Because I’m sure you will find TRUE LOVE once you tune into what your body, mind, heart and soul are saying to you.

Remember, we’re all in this life TOGETHER, FOR REAL!

Much love to you,

Lyn

Metaphorically Speaking

Metaphorically Speaking ~ February 2025

The Mind is a Wonderful Thing!
But We Must Think With Our Heart

I awoke in the wee hours afraid, with a bubble of very entrenched fear focalised in my heart space that rose to my awareness the moment my luscious sleep ended. This is par for my course in these days of shadow dancing. This morning’s divine envelope contained financial lack, fears about how to move on from here, how to return to love with my intimate partner and the helplessness I feel when witnessing loved ones’ suffering, ALL ROLLED INTO ONE.

How do I solve this? What is to become of me?

Well, Houston, two hours and tons of musing later the revelation was revealed. Although this type of dilemma has been like a longtime friend and intimate bedfellow of mine in this life, it still takes CONCERTED EASE to unpack each new visitor that knocks on the present. They are mostly uninvited guests. And yet, as unwelcome as a heart attack may be, it can also save your life by demanding you change your ways. To prevent complete heart failure!

Ladies and Gentlemen, may I introduce to you to our esteemed guest, a clever mind game and strategically successful war monger tactic that has kept us stuck in our problems for millennia (or at least for the duration of historical time)? She is the prized and coveted secret weapon borne of our own mental and emotional manipulation! And here’s her story…

First, we overload internal operating systems with thought bombs that we subsequently wrap in extra-large packages whose sheer size seem to indicate their utmost priority and importance, thereby setting off (antiquated) alarm bells that command our immediate attention and stop us in our proverbial tracks. The daunting darkness of this dilemma we face seems to block the light from the WINDOW OF OUR SOUL as well as access to the DOOR OF OUR HEART. We literally feel stuck to our seat in front of an outdated computer screen, helpless to prevent a core meltdown in our nuclear environment and most of all, we feel we are sure to be labelled an abject failure forevermore at a job we were handsomely paid to do.

OK. I think I get it. So what now?

Well, FIRST WE PAUSE... Then we step away from the mind’s point of view, walk outside into natural light and breathe in the wisdom of the sun, moon and stars. Then we pray to Holy Spirit and ask for guidance. Then we surrender to Divine Will. Then we accept all that is. Then we trust in grace making the necessary arrangements to work through old worn-out ways. Then we follow the Illuminated Path of Truth leading us home. In love, in word, in deed.

Only the heart can show us THE PATH TO TRUTH. The mind can illuminate the way there by bringing to view all that is around us. But only our heart can recognise a genuine opportunity to step up and work in concert with mind, body and soul and sing out loud, WHAT IS REAL!

The mind will illuminate what is…
The heart will resonate with what is real…
Together they bring us truth.

Peace of Heart for the Holidays

Dear One,

Christmas and New Year holidays are coming! Yay, time off! Great Parties! Family Fun!

Yet, as most of us also know, holidays are often fraught with major drama when an unwelcome ghost of the past arrives and sits down uninvited at the table…

I know I may seem like the bearer of bad news at a time when you just want to be happy and have fun! But please read further, because I want to offer you a Huge Holiday Gift!

Consider this. If we have never taken the time to resolve past conflicts with family, their shadows may return just when our time together counts the most… They often play out like a rerun popping up on the TV screen every year when we thought we cancelled that service!

So I made a short video called, Saying I’m Sorry to suggest we might prevent these recurring train wrecks by doing some emotional housekeeping ahead of time. Perhaps we can quietly reflect on relationships that need a little more tenderness before the holidays. Perhaps we can find the courage to apologise for our bad behaviour and forgive ourselves in the process…

Another offering to inspire pre-holiday contemplation is, Remembering With Forgiveness from The Nine Senses of Joy audio series available on my website.

A lot of us open our homes for parties and feasting during the holidays. How about if we also open our hearts to heal a longstanding conflict with someone?

Many of us lavishly decorate, inside and outside, to bring joy and happiness to others. How about if we polish the tarnished sentiments of our past until they shine with love again?

Instead of exhausting ourselves with buying and wrapping gifts, we could hand out hugs to everyone around us, surrounding them with our loving presence.

I know if truth be told, we would all be eternally grateful to see Peace on Earth. So be brave. Start opening your heart in this very season, like your life depended on it. (Because it does)…

Peace of Mind is a Noble Quest. Peace Of Heart Changes Everything!

With Love and Grace,

Peace Behind the Scenes…

On this 6 November 2024, the day after the United States presidential election, I offer this prayer for peace. Now is the time for all of us to dig deep within and find the path to serve the Greater Good of us all. This event is a Call to Grace.

It is a time to join together, to forge an illuminated path that recognises lasting peace comes from honouring Divine Will.

Now is the time to open our hearts more and be ready to heal our collective wounds. I invite all my earthly sisters and brothers to join in tilling the soil of our collective humanity with Seeds of Truth so we may Grow Our Garden in Love.

I thank you with all my heart, Lyn

A Kinder and Gentler Life

Dear One,

On September 9, 2024, the 9/9 numerological portal opened. Therefore, the energy of THE NUMBER NINE is heightened at this time. In numerology, it is considered a powerful number that represents completion of one cycle and the start of another.

In Hinduism, NUMBER NINE is considered a divine and perfect ending.

In addition to the end of a cycle, NUMBER NINE represents the attainment of spiritual wisdom, humanitarianism and compassion. It is an inspiration for us to serve others, become more altruistic and make a positive impact on the world.

In the spirit of this, I made a short video for you called A Kinder and Gentler Life. In this video I offer you an invitation to view life through a more refined lens, if you will, and to start making small changes that simplify your life and bring you more awareness of joy.

I combine a poetic perspective on our sensibilities called the NINE SENSES OF JOY with ways to use them through the FOUR QUADRANTS OF LIFE as below:

  1. Relationships
  2. Mother Nature
  3. Creativity
  4. Rituals

Please take the time to listen to the video and if you can, follow up with the PDF reading.

We can do this! We can be a part of slowing down this crazy world and empower ourselves, our families and our communities with Kinder and Gentler Lives…

Thanks for listening and doing your part! We’re all in this together. We all matter!

XO Lyn

P.S. Here’s a little more about my journey with dreams to inspire you…

I have kept a detailed journal of my dreams for over 12 years. This has afforded me a rich asset to waking life. I have learned that the poignant treasures offered by our souls in sleep can heal us, inspire us creatively and give us insight for present and future direction.

With my courses and consultation, I enjoy sharing an easeful and holistic approach to Dream Wisdom. I offer simple rituals for self-care and deeper communion with Mother Nature that promote dream recall. I have found that improved dream awareness can heal all our relationships as well as clarify our true purpose in life.

Sharing Social Graces

Hello Love,

It’s so wonderful when we can see the results of our inner transformations come to life!

In this short video I recount the events of a sweet morning. I spent time doing some inner shadow work, came away feeling charged and refreshed and then immediately got an opportunity to see a practical application of “Social Grace” with a neighbour.

I love it when I experience examples of courtesy and understanding in this world of ours where true gentility and human kindness often are missing or disregarded as unimportant.

Have a listen. Then see how you can share more grace in your social sphere of influence.

Let’s Start A Movement! It Could Get Contagious…

Be The One!

Hello Love,

In my video today I share a story with you about a visit with my neighbour, who has a dear heart as well as a trapped mind! She refuses to see what happens in any way except that which fits a preconceived paradigm of right and wrong, good and bad, beautiful or ugly.

We all know these people. Sometimes we are one of them (hopefully we get over it quickly)! They are in our families, our group of friends, our professional lives and the world at large.

Often they break our hearts, especially if we have tried for a long time to help them see things differently or to break out of their patterns and problems. It can weigh heavily on us if they refuse to change, grow or embrace the myriad of possibilities and creative solutions waiting right there under their noses.

But take heart! These folks offer us a gift! They remind us we can STAY IN LOVE! They may be able to push the buttons that begin to activate our own fears. But we can refuse to go down that wormhole with them and instead hold a space for us all, above ground in full sunlight…

Be a part of the WORLD MINORITY DEVOTED TO LOVE AND PEACE. In ordinary ways, in everyday life, for strangers as well as close family. Keep offering your help when you can and gracefully accept when it is refused. But never stop BEING THE ONE IN LOVE!

I hope you get a chuckle out of today’s little love story…

Individual Sovereignty Serves The Whole

Hello Love,

I have been reminded lately in my life how important it is to stay aligned with our own best interests first in order to stay on track to serve the divine of us all.

We must put ourselves first as individuals. We must focus a spiritual laser beam of awareness on everything we think, say and do before we can truly love others, serve our community or accomplish our highest purpose in life.

Are we doing something just because it pays the bills? Are we being honest with ourselves about the people with whom we do business or call our friends? Do we spend hours agonising over relationship issues instead of Doing The Inner Work required to reset our default to truth so that we may lovingly detach from emotional drama?

If so, then we may be leaking power. We may be allowing others to encroach on our individual sovereignty because we never set our boundaries. We may be missing opportunities for sacred breakthroughs that give us Full Lucidity To See Our Own Path.

Awareness of how best to serve the highest good of us all is a responsibility incumbent on the individual. We must carefully consider where our inner life meets the outer world, where the best place for us is within the whole and how we can share our gifts fully with the world.

When we present the clearest distillation of our most authentic self to the world, it is worth a fortune to all. When we master our own unique genius, clear away shadows blocking our brilliance and walk our divine individual path, magic and miracles happen for everyone.

Please watch my video for simple and practical tips on this.

And remember…

ALL YOU NEED TO DO
IS BE.

SCARED to SACRED – Dream of the Week

Hello Love,

Happy Almost Springtime! On my walk today I took off my jacket and went the way home in my short sleeves for the first time this year! It was so lovely. I also had the good fortune of being able to stop and listen to a very lively and inspiring Mockingbird for a few minutes.

It filled my own heart with song…

…As it fills me with joy to be alive and able to share my dream gifts with you! I am very excited to announce I am in the process of creating a 1:1 Course Offering called, Be Your Own Dream Expert!

The course, crafted to take place over about 6 months’ time, will consist of Six Modules, containing Video Guides, Audio Contemplations and PDF Worksheets. You will also have one 45-minute Zoom Call per month (6 total) to go over your dreams in depth with me.

I will keep you posted about this – expected delivery is late March or early April!

Love is Lovely! Be good to yourself today…

Hello Beautiful People,

In the Western World, Love’s the Word today!

But let’s face it. For many of us, Valentine’s Day can be a bitter pill, a reminder that we’re still alone, wondering when our True Love will show up and take away our sadness.

I made you an audio gift today to share my sentiments… to suggest that with a slight shift in mental perspective we might be able to stretch our hearts open to more lasting love… Please give it a listen when you have a moment to muse on this possibility.

On a more practical “love” note, I want to introduce you to a wonderful woman I know, Penelope Jane Smith. She is an awesome human being who shares her love by educating us how to take care of ourselves financially!

She offers us a really powerful, bite-sized and Free eBook, “The Financial Freedom Formula” that you can download by clicking the link below.

https://realprosperity.isrefer.com/go/FFF/DGPBiz

You’ll discover what it takes for you to become financially free so you don’t have to depend on your business, a job, the government, a partner, or anyone else for money.

Penelope is one of the kindest and most generous people I know. With her teachings, she offers us a key to True Prosperity (which always includes love as well as money :-).

I highly recommend this as your quick read this week!

Here’s to True Love and True Prosperity!

Kindest Regards,
Lyn

Happy New World

Dear Ones,

On New Year’s Eve, I got an SOS. Literally. I was talking to a family member on the phone and he told me he was unwilling to support my business. The call dropped. When he called me back, he said his phone had given him an SOS. He chalked it up to random weirdness.

But I took that SOS as a sign. I heard the message of “SAVE OUR SOULS.”

Two days before this happened, another family member told me the same thing. And I know they agreed to join as a united front. To carry on a legacy of emotional tyranny using “love” as a weapon, insidiously putting down anyone in the family who dares to be different. This is our family’s particularly covert M.O. – disguised as the unquestioned authority on success.

For the rest of the evening after that call, I cried like a baby. I howled at the moon. I marvelled that the stars could be so exquisitely indifferent to my pain. New Year’s fireworks provided a fitting backdrop for my solo pity party.

When I finally went to bed shortly after midnight and fell into a fitful sleep, I had several dreams, divine communions that outlined my future work. The message was clear. I must be a warrior of wisdom and use my SWords, my words to defend the honour of REAL LOVE.

David Crosby, mad hatter that he appeared to be, and may his soul rest in peace, gave us this message many years ago in the song “Long Time Gone”.

Speak out, you got to speak out against the madness
You got to speak your mind if you dare.

What does this have to do with you?

I invite you to join me in speaking out through the written word in published works. Our loved ones desperately need OUR COMPASSIONATE TRUTH, regardless of the family party line meant to keep us in “our place”, regardless of which “side” we’re on.

Because there is only a circle. And what goes around in pain, comes around again to heal.

I could really use your help! See our upcoming anthology books and online courses on our website. Choose one to WALK THE WARRIOR’S WAY IN LOVE. Or let me know your thoughts on other subjects that deserve to be heard because they serve the highest good.

Thank you for forwarding this email to all of those whom you think may be interested in breaking out of their own family’s dysfunctional patterns to RETURN TO LOVE!

With Love, Peace, Truth and Grace,
Lyn

Kinder and Gentler

 

Hello loves, this is Lyn of Dream Girl Publishing and I wanted to invite you to experience a kinder and gentler Christmas season this year and maybe in years to come and to just let go of all the commercialism and just have a spiritual Retreat .. Imitate nature, lose your leaves, settle down .. you know, just hunker down by the fire, go to bed early, rest your soul and go within to commune with God. Go within to find that spiritual source of strength that kind of just renews us and fills us up until the new year comes. Just give it a try. Thank you for listening.

I Give Thanks For You

Hello Loves,

I want to give thanks today for you! And I respectfully request that you do the same. If you are reading this, I know you are doing your best to be a light by sharing your gifts with the world.

I also know it’s probably hard for you to think of yourself when giving thanks. We put ourselves at the bottom of the list, (if we think we deserve mentioning at all).

During Thanksgiving Week we focus on appreciating our loved ones, our family, our mentors, our good fortune. We give thanks for our home and lifestyle, for our children and grandchildren, for our good health.

All of this is wonderful! Giving thanks for anyone or anything on any level is always going to increase happiness, peace and grace in your life.

But I want to also encourage you during this week as you celebrate gratitude to GIVE THANKS FOR WHO YOU ARE AND YOUR PRESENCE IN THIS WORLD!

You matter. You count. You are alive at a very IMPORTANT AND EXCITING TIME ON EARTH. Give thanks that you are here and showing up! Give thanks for THE WONDER OF YOU!

I am grateful you are here with me on this journey! (And I give thanks for myself too!)

In the grace of gratitude,

Lyn Nanni
CEO of Dream Girl Publishing
