Message from the Mountain

Several years ago we transplanted some hydrangeas from the Historical Society to the Center. I do not know their history before being planted there. We have history in our souls that we may or may not be aware of. That history moves with us wherever we travel on our Soul’s path. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

On this Independence Day in this country, I am grateful for the freedom to take a walk in Nature and sit on the bench at the top of the Lupine Field and reflect on the many things for which I am grateful, including the opportunity to share this special place with others. Positive change can come from the freedom of being able to share love and gratitude. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mo...

I spent quite a bit of time trying to identify the subject flower of today’s podcast and wasn’t successful. Someone will tell me. People often do not realize the talents they have. My goal is to show them so that they can let their abilities grow which create positivity for others. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

The thick leaves on a succulent plant collected little pearls of moisture from the recent rain. I was reminded that every day there are little pearls of wisdom waiting for us to harvest to nourish our Soul. They can come from almost anywhere: a conversation, a book, Nature… All we need to do is be aware. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

The yellow lilies that line the driveway to the parking area at the center, planted last year, are now in full bloom. They make a floral welcome sign, inviting people to visit. A simple smile can be a welcome sign, sharing positivity. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

The delicate astilbe with its small white flowers is different from all the other varieties of plants in the Ormond Gardens. I find that people come in all kinds of varieties, and that is what makes my Soul’s journey so unique. I am grateful for that. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

Now that the first of the orange lilies are blooming, I look forward to driving along the back country roads where many of the old homes are gone but the orange lilies still there take my mind back in time. I believe as we navigate the path of our soul’s purpose there is a Source with us to help blend the past with the present. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

The Rose Campion is enjoying its first summer in the Ormond Gardens as it ushers in the summer season. It is the time for people to absorb mentally, physically, and spiritually the renewing ability of Nature to prepare us for the fall. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

I have been collecting plants for years, and, like the evening primrose now in bloom, I am not sure where they came from. My collection usually has a purpose, and that is to share with others. People collect thoughts that they don’t know where they came from. At least we can weed out the negative ones and replace them with love and gratitude. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Suppo...

Recently our outside thermometer recorded a temperature of 101 degrees, and I think that may be a new high for us. The weather has been a progression of extremes the last couple of years, as have people’s thoughts. At least we can be aware of our thoughts, and through love and positivity lower the temperature in our minds. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

The stella d’oro daylilies have begun to bloom, and, unlike other daylilies, they will continue to flower all summer. There are people that only do a single act of kindness and then are done, while others continue to create positive acts of kindness all year long. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

The foxglove are now in bloom in the Ormond Gardens. They have the ability to move around each year searching for the best soil to grow in. People have the same ability to plant their thoughts in the best positive environment for them to grow and make a difference in the world. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

A patch of clover in full blossom caught my attention for a few moments and I watched the butterflies and bees going from flower-to-flower harvesting food. My mind felt peaceful as I set my intentions to think of gratitude and love. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

Our wild garden on the lawn is now on its third part of the summer season with the white and blue bell flowers blooming. We will mow after they go to seed. Sometimes our positive thoughts need time and more components before they flower. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain   Support the show

Some people spend a lot of time thinking about how they invest while others are more spontaneous. Most of our investment goes into improving the land for others to enjoy. A great example is the lupine Field. A belief is an investment. It is wise to invest in a good one that stands the test of time. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

Some flowers including Queen Ann’s Lace in the wild and Yarrow in a domestic garden are essentially the same, except yarrow comes in different colors. Some people have wild ideas while others are more conservative. The key is to find a blend for the greater good of all. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

The Milkweed are now in the budding stage, and it won’t be long before the flowers will attract butterflies. It reminds me of the budding stage for our ideas. Some will reach the flowering stage while others will not. It can take courage to give oneself permission to take the risk of succeeding. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

The Ormond Garden is constantly adding new varieties of flowering plants that provide something of interest throughout the season. Positive diversity in life can add a richness of knowledge and understanding to our Soul’s journey. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

There is an old saying that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, but I believe people that are willing can learn something new each day when they set their intentions. Recently I learned about catmint. Nature and people are great teachers. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

I am always looking for treasure, but not always the treasure that most people think of. It might be a turkey feather left in the grass or discovering a talent someone else has that goes unrecognized. Life is full of treasures that fill my heart with gratitude. You are a treasure to me! www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

The pink dianthus flowers are currently in full bloom in the Ormond Gardens. They bring gratitude and joy to my heart causing me to feel in the pink. My intention is to share my positive feelings in many different ways to others like you. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

Every time I see the sunny face of a daisy, I think of the old song titled “A Daisy a Day”. I am grateful to Nature for giving me the opportunity to share its beautiful smile with others as I continue about my day. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain www.buzzsprout.com/2037649 www.youtube.com/@MichaelHathawayHypnosis/videos Support the show

It is not uncommon to see an asterisk beside a word when reading a book. That often means there is more information available in the publication on the subject being read. We often have asterisks on our thoughts. It is information found in our subconscious minds when we open up to it. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

I like to look all around when I go for a walk in Nature. Recently my heart jumped for joy when I saw a small lichen heart nestled in the grass. Had I not been looking all around I could have missed this important affirmation for me. As I walk along my Soul’s path, I intend to be aware of all aspects of life. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

I have found that daily appreciation of Nature plays a major role in keeping on track with my life and soul purpose. In nature I take deep breaths, slow down my mind, and set my intentions to trust in the guidance that comes to me from my Source. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show
