Message from the Mountain

A lot of snow has melted the last few days. We have reached the half-way point to meteorological spring, and now winter is starting over again. In life we can start all over again every day to keep us in tune with our soul’s purpose, even if it is in just a small way. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support the show

The recent January thaw inspired me to start getting my legs in shape for the warmer weather of spring. I began with a simple walk of fifty laps around the house. Usually, it is people that inspire me with their positive acts of kindness. Inspiration is supported by belief, a reminder of the reason for inspiration, and a daily intention to put the inspiration into action. www.michaelhathaway.com/m...

The last few days have been warmer and foggy. It got me thinking about brain fog, a condition sometimes brought about by conflicting information gathering in our minds. Trust in your invisible team to help clear away the fog. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support the show

Now that we are halfway through January and daylight has reached 4:30 PM. I am realizing Ground Hog Day is less than three weeks away. It was the morning shadows I saw out the window that caused me to think about shadows and fear for what hides within them. Fortunately, morning shadows disappear, as do shadows in our hearts with our inner light. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.ht...

I have been enjoying the last few days of a January thaw. I can even see where the snow has melted off a pile of rocks, something I will really focus on as spring nears. My goal each morning is to find something in the day to enjoy regardless of the weather. Then I remind myself how grateful I am to have that opportunity. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support the show

The beech limbs are still hanging on to their leaves while most all the other variety of trees let theirs fly in the winds of fall. People have habits that this time of year they would like to change. However, some hang on way beyond their time to go. Knowing it is time and believing in the purpose for letting go can help the transition. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Suppo...

I have found that when I focus on what I am grateful for, it translates into loving energy in my heart that can send out positive energy to attract other things I am grateful for. I totally believe that gratitude and positive energy can affect our lives. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support the show

When I started doing podcasts, I found myself ending each one saying, “’Tis my prayer that these words are right and good for you whenever you hear them.” Everyone prays differently. It is very personal. I have learned that I do not hold up the world and that I have an incredible team placing acts of kindness that may touch lives now and in the future. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-moun...

We had been promised a January thaw for several days by the weather reporters and it has finally happened. It got me thinking about promises made and then what happens. I believe that the “power of the moment when the promise is made” can lead to a positive intention that repeated to oneself daily can become a reality for the greater good. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Sup...

Nature has given us a few days above normal temperatures.  In life little reprieves can help us find rejuvenation from the pressures we may experience. Perhaps a short vacation can help, even if it is just a day. For me, I can find a short reprieve inside of my heart by focusing on love, peace and gratitude with the help of my team. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support th...

With the cold winter weather I have a lot of time on my hands to gaze out the window and imagine faces created by Nature looking back at me. People that are consumed with fear could believe there is something negative trying to take them over, while others love to play with what they are experiencing. I love to imagine positive signs as a way of connecting to my heart. www.michaelhathaway.com/mess...

We have been waiting well over a week for the weather to warm enough to thaw out the ice that coats the land. Finally, that wait may be over. In life it seems as though there is always something to be waiting for, either with negative or positive anticipation. Remember that you have a spiritual team standing by to help with the waiting. Heart love is the best energy to attract the positive. www.mi...

I had not been up on the mountain to check on the Cabin since the ice storm, over a week ago. I had my 4-wheel drive truck, sand and shovels, but when I got beyond the cemetery, I found the road was blocked with small trees. I had forgotten to bring a saw. So, I backed out and will bring the right tools next time. In life there is always something that could block us. The key is to be positive and...

The little brook that flows by my window appeared to be frozen solid due to our current cold spell. Then I heard the faint sound of running water under the ice: when life seems to be frozen solid, there is still a flow of positive energy in our hearts to help us stay warm in our pursuit of our life purpose!!!!! www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html www.buzzsprout.com/2037649 Suppo...

Now that most of the holiday celebrations are over, it is time to settle into a more normal routine of life. Here in the mountains that means the winter season with all its cold and stormy weather. There are those that embrace the cold and those that head for warmer climes. I watch the increasing sunlight and embrace winter projects with a goal of positivity. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-t...

Now that the celebrations of the New Year have passed, it is on with the new, including a new flannel shirt given to me by my granddaughter. It warms my heart with love and will keep me warm during the upcoming cold winter months. You can begin anew with positive changes in your life if you let yourself believe in the purpose for yourself and others. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mounta...

The last day of 2025 was amazing. If we hadn’t had a guest at the Center, we would have had a really big problem. She noticed that a casement window had blown out overnight and the pipes were frozen; later the power went out. During the day everything came to gather and started working again. I know the angels were on duty!!!!!!!! www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support the...

The weight of the frozen rain on the tree limbs created a lot of power problems. Just when we thought we were at the end of the storm, we were plunged into a blackout where we went from light to total darkness. Fortunately, we were prepared with candles. In life when we face blackouts, we do have an inner light that can shine through and guide us. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain....

Probably the most dreaded of winter storms is an ice storm; it rains when the temperature is below freezing and everything turns into a gigantic skating rink. On one of those days it is best to just hunker down and be grateful for those that keep the power on and the roads safe. My heart is filled with gratitude!!!!!! www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support the show

I woke up this morning with no voice, just a whisper. I thought about whispering and how people whisper to each other so as not to be overheard. At the same time Nature is always whispering to us, often with positive advice coming out of the Cosmos. All we need to do is tune in and listen. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support the show

We have traditionally gathered together during the holidays for a family celebration. This tradition goes back over many years through the changes of life. This year it will be nine of us as other parts of the family are creating their own traditions. The one constant that doesn’t change is love for each other www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support the show

Our house lot was originally marketed as HIGH WINDS AT MADISON. We do get strong winds but not as powerful as on the mountain top where the cabin is located. Recently the snow cover was low enough to let me use my 4-wheel drive truck to reach it, only to be greeted by large snow drifts. I am reminded that when the winds of life create obstacles, look for other routes around them. www.michaelhathaw...

We are now beginning the journey of increasing daylight, starting second by second leading to minute-by-minute daily advances on the way to the summer solstice in June. Sometimes those seconds seem to fly by as do minutes, hours, days, and years. Experience each one with heart-based love. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support the show

On this Christmas morning everyone who was dreaming of a white Christmas here in the mountains sees their dreams become a reality. My next dream is for peace on earth and goodwill toward all people. Love in our hearts can help that dream become a reality! www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support the show

This is the day that Christian children have been waiting for: the day before Christmas with only one more sleep to go. I was fortunate to grow up in a loving home, so this day was filled with waiting. The minutes seemed like hours. I know others had different and perhaps sad experiences anticipating a different type of Christmas. We anticipate life every day. For me I believe something is watchin...
