Cone flowers and lilies open to their calling

As all creation is said to be a manifestation of Spirit,
so to can it be said that money is a manifestation of energy.

A heartfelt thank you to those of you who have responded to this request. Though money is necessary to continue this work, to give such a gift is way more than money. It is an exchange of energy that increases the light in the world. I look forward to hearing from more of you this week. Thank you all.

Dear Friends

I decided to begin this email project the night Trump was first elected. I imagined it would last four years at the most. Now we’re nearing the completion of eight years into this commitment to counterbalance the dark energy, influence, and power that has surfaced and grown in the world. As always, to me that means quality over quantity and light in the darkness. 

Our Impact

With each Wednesday email I send a blessing and an expression of gratitude to each of you. At this time, we may underestimate the subtle power of such a community as ours. Yet every week we connect our conscious vibrations when I write and you read. It truly matters.

My Need

At this stage of my life, I can no longer afford to offer this work on my own. Surprisingly, it costs about $3000 a year to maintain the tools needed to offer this gift to the world. This project is important to me. It brings meaning to my life. I am humbled at needing to ask for your financial support. But that’s what’s so today. If everyone who opens these emails contributed the cost of a Starbuck’s coffee or a bottle of wine or dinner out, the costs would be covered for the next year.

How You Can Help

Payment for the first tools that need to be renewed comes up on December 11. If you feel called to support this project, please consider making a contribution as soon as possible and for sure, by the end of this year. Kaleidoscope Lenses is not a registered non-profit. However, if you send money as a gift, you do not need to pay taxes on that one-time annual contribution. It is a very good way to invest in our evolution. Please send your gift to my paypal account: https://paypal.me/barbarajoshipka

Also, if you have suggestions, requests, or questions, please let me know. I welcome your thoughts.

With love and gratitude,
Barbara

Our Calling Keeps Calling

No one comes to earth to be a small person. We each come to unfold into the world a story that has already been written inside of us. The calling that calls to each of us calls us to live the unique story that first brought us into the world. If we do that we bring something valuable, not just for ourselves but for life in general.

We live now in critical times amidst a worldwide shaking up and breaking down. To be alive at this time means being called to become conscious of more than just the common realities of life because the common realities themselves are being subjected to uncommon extremes and being torn by uncommon tensions.

To be alive now means being challenged to undertake an expansion of identity. The awakening of genius may be closer to us than ever and it reveals that something mysterious operates in us and through us.

Because calling is timeless, it can come at any time in life. The genius in a person does not age with the person. The genius continues to be on the cutting edge of our knowing, on the verge of our awakening.

The unfolding of the next world is already under way. And finding and living our soul’s genuine purpose is the way we contribute to the renewal and remaking of the world. We are each called to live a life of meaning and purpose no matter what the conditions may be or seem to be.
