I've taken up a brand new hobby which is, unfortunately, another very expensive one. But dammit, it's worth it for the adrenaline rush!
There's nothing better than speeding around a track on a Honda XR 100 (after all the different AMRA club bikes I've tried out, the one Danard bought this summer is still my fave by far) as fast as you can, hopefully without falling down. I've managed to do it all summer without falling down...unless you count when we first bought our bike and we were testing how much idle the bike needed. At first, it was idling really rough, so we sped up the idle. Someone (not Danard) told me to rev the bike up a whole bunch and then let go of the clutch. BIG mistake...front tire wheely's, Candice falls off the back and lands painfully on the ground...while still in the pits. (the area not on the track where the racers get ready to head onto the track) Sorry...no photo of this one...
I do however, have photos of some of our practices and races throughout the summer. I've compiled a few of the best shots from the season to compare what I looked like at the beginning, to how I look now. Let's just say HUGE improvement!
We only have a few more practices and one more race :( before the season closes for another year. I plan to do some more improvements to my race form and see if I can get a little faster around the corners in the process, so I can kick some butt at the last race. I'll have more pics to post then...
In the meantime...if anyone feels inclined, you can come out to watch the last race on Sunday, October 12 at the Go Cart track just south of Race City.
That's all for now...

It's now officially about 4.5 months since I quit my day job and I have yet to feel the need to be looking for a new one. I'm now running my business full time now. Which includes not working at Metatron anymore. Long story on that one...long story and too much drama to bother getting into. Suffice it to say that the store shut down a month ago, but I left a month before that.
It was a very sad thing to be pulling out all of our belongings out of that store. Danard called me from the store when he was moving our stuff out (I wasn't allowed to be in the store to take my own personal belongings without the owner present). He made me cry. He said to me what I had been thinking but didn't want to voice out loud...how sad it was that we were taking apart the healing room that we created with such love. I was very sad and depressed about that. I still miss that healing room a lot, and it's been 2 months now.
It was such a great room, and all of our clients who came for sessions there loved it. Many didn't want to leave at the end of their sessions. I spent time in there just soaking up the peaceful energy of it. It was one of the few places that I felt I could go and be completely at peace...besides the mountains of course.
But...everything happens for a reason. Things were becoming rather "toxic" at the store (energetically speaking) and it was best that we left anyway. Soo....my feeling now is that we'll eventually have an opportunity to create another space that's similar, but even better. Eventually...we'll have our own store that we can run ourselves and do things they way we choose to and create a vibe that will attract an infintely abundant number of new clients, students and customers.
In the meantime, we still have Elements of Wellness to work out of where there are new owners who plan to make that place really fly.
And of course, we're doing lots of shows...we did the Calgary Folk Music Festival at the end of July, then 2 weeks later, the Calgary International Blues Festival, and this weekend, the Expo Latino. I love doing all these music shows. I spend a lot of the day (when I'm not busy doing readings and Reiki and stuff) dancing away to the music, outside our booth. This weekend will be no exception...I just LLOOOOOOVVEEE any kind of Latino music. And then 3 weeks from now, we'll be doing the Calgary Body, Soul and Spirit Expo...more on that later...
Okay...time to hit the sack. Hope to see all of you at the festival this weekend!
Love, Light and Giggles,
Candice

I'm feeling rather inspired to write a bit about something that a lot of us are experiencing or contemplating these days. Over the past few months and especially this past weekend at the expo, I've observed that there a lot of people going through some major changes in their lives. Either they are contemplating how to make the changes they feel are long overdue, or just starting to make those changes.
The new energies that are coming in these days seem to be almost forcing us onto our true life paths, sometimes whether we like it or not. There seems to be an almost intense urgency for us to get in alignment and start doing what we came here to do. I'm getting big chills through my body even as I type.

There seems to be an almost intense urgency for us to get in alignment and start doing what we came here to do. I'm getting big chills through my body even as I type.
Some of us are seriously considering or in the process of leaving our 3D jobs and some are feeling the energetic push to do so. Some of these changes are even being forced upon us by creating situations that make us so uncomfortable that we are almost being given no choice but to walk away.
This is not only what I've observed from the many readings and Reiki sessions I've done with people lately (especially this past weekend), but in my own life.
Some of you know that for the past two years I've been receiving clear messages about the idea of walking away from my own 3D job and walking into my 5D life purpose. I've fought this for two years now out of sheer terror of not having any income to cover my 3D needs. Then along came Metatron: A Matrix of Healing (thank you Elaine!!!), which allowed me to decrease the number of hours at my 3D job, which then allowed the "transition time" that I felt I needed to get my act together. This has given me the feeling of safely so I could move into the 5D career without fear or worry about where the money was going to come from.
This has drastically changed yet again. I can feel an almost electric energy vibrating around and within me that tells me that life will never be the same after this - as tears of joy start to well up, telling me that this is a very good change! I somehow suspect that some of you out in cyber-space may know this feeling of which I speak because you are experiencing it too!
Some of you already know that about two weeks ago, I quit my day job that I had been at for the past eight months, due to some stuff that I won't get into. Suffice it to say, I was "forced" to leave that situation, leaving myself open to bigger and better possibilities.
To top it all off, two days after I quit, a very good friend of ours shared a message from a close family member of hers who passed a way not too long ago. Danard and I were incredibly blessed to have met Patricia a few times, who was the most amazing and gifted light worker I think I've ever met.
Our friend Chris shared with me last week that she got a reading by a medium, and that Patricia had a message for me. She told Chris, through this medium, that I don't have to do any job that I don't want and choose to do. That was it...simple, but exactly what I needed to hear, as that was two days after I quit my job. Me being stubborn, I still wasn't ready take the leap of faith and walk away from 3D jobs permanently.
My original plan was to go back to driving school bus when the unexpected happened.
My original plan was to go back to driving school bus when the unexpected happened.
Danard offered to support me for a month so I can focus 100% on Thunderbird Sky so I don't have to go back to a day job. WOW! This really blew me away. Talk about a HUGE gift, and it gave me the push I needed...
As of yesterday morning (April 24), I had also planned to re-take my required re-training starting today, "just in case" I still needed to go back when the month was up. BUT. I found out yesterday that's not possible, due to being so close to the end of the school year. So much for the "just in case" back up plan. Go figure…
So...here I am, as I think many of you are as well, perched on the precipice and ready to take the big leap into the unknown. Much to my utter amazement, I'm not worried - not even in the least. Ok - maybe a tiny bit, but without the fear this time around. That change, in and of itself is a significant one. Something big must be in the works. Needless to say, I'm pretty pumped about this whole thing, and wanted to share it with you all.
A lot of you out there know one thing about me - that I've had a lot of difficulty in this whole idea of really trusting that the money will be there when I need it, and that I really don't need this 3D job thing. It's taken this experience to force me to trust. I'm also now being forced to walk the talk that I talk about during classes, readings and sessions.
The lesson in all of this - that when the divine timing is right, the situations and opportunities WILL and DO cross your way to get you on the path that you set in motion before you came here. If it hasn't already happened, it's guaranteed that it will soon. We all need to trust that the shift happens when we are ready - no sooner, no later. It may take us years to get to this point, but it does and is happening. And not just to a few of us, it's now happening to everyone. No one is immune to these new changes that are coming in.
As we come closer and closer to 2012, we are gradually or more often that not, not-so-gradually, being guided onto our true paths. Those who fight this process are in for a rough ride. But if we learn to breath deeply and accept these changes with grace, ease and beauty, something I'm finally learning, we will no longer need them to be difficult or painful. The changes can even be joyful and full of laughter and excitement. But this is a choice that each of us has to make. We can do this the easy or the hard way, but regardless of how we choose to shift with the shifting of the ages, it's happening. With or without us.
The biggest key in all of this is trust. Trust, trust, and then trust even more - as I look sheepishly at my keyboard, averting the many eyes of those who have told me time and again to just get out of my own damn way and stop living in fear of the what-ifs. Okay, okay, I get it. Which is why I can now confidently stand on my soap box and say to all of you - If I can do it, so can you!
Oh...and by the way, these changes aren't limited to just our job & careers. These changes are going to be and are affecting every area of our lives - career, relationships, health, prosperity, family, self-worth, life purpose, etc. Everything we have known up to this point in history is being re-wired and re-written. Our very DNA is changing in order to open us up to greater and higher vibrations of light than we've ever experienced before.
Life as we've known it to be up to this point, is a thing of the past as the veil between here and there is quickly disappearing. The sooner that we realize all of this, the sooner that we can get on with the show. And… the only way to ride through these changes… is to strap on our eight foot Angel wings and enjoy the view!

A few minutes ago, I was browsing through some archive disks of computer files looking for some files to recreate my level one Reiki manual that got eaten by a virus last year, and to my utter amazement, I also found my old blog posts that also got eaten, for a very different reason. (No thanks to Blogcharm that suddenly decided to call it quits with no forwarning to it's users, whatsoever) I don't think I backed up all of my blog posts, but I have a lot of them.
I was reading through a few of them, recalling where I was approximately 2 years ago when I was on stress leave from my job at Rogers Wireless. In those posts, I spoke a LOT of wanting to quit my day job so I could focus on what I really enjoyed doing; working on the business of healing, doing more art work, getting back to my music, etc. For so many years, I've been dreaming of the moment when I would no longer require to be employed at a job that I barely tolerated. And a little over a month ago, that day finally happened!
I'll be posting an article I wrote shortly, about that process, on this and the Thunderbird Sky blog, but for now, suffice it to say, YIPPEE!!!! Reading back over what I vividly remember to be one of the most difficult times of my life really make me appreciate being where I am now. I remember getting strong intuitive downloads that my next big leap of faith would be that I would be quitting the whole day job racket altogether. I knew then, when that moment happened, it wouldn't be an easy transition, though I did spend a lot of time asking for that. I knew that it would involve, "jumping into the abyss empty handed", as Danard would say. Up until a month ago, that though scared the hell outta me.
Strangely, and surprisingly, I'm not wigged out like I thought I would be. Sure I have my moments of worrying about the money aspect, but so far, even after a month, I'm doing okay financially. I still have to be really careful of my spending, so I can keep working full time on the business as long as possible (the goal is for that to be permanent), but I'm not scraping the bottom of my bank account. Thanks partially to a really nice income tax return, but mostly because Danard chose to (as he put it) step up to the plate to help me financially for a month to cover what I couldn't, for the first month. He never ceases to amaze and delight me! As I've said in other posts, he really is an angel!
I think gratitude will be the word of the day for a while...
Love, light and giggles,
Candice

No warning, no notice...
I just happened to click on our bloglink from the Thunderbird Sky website to update that blog, and there was this unhappy notice that Blogcharm was being shut down. The real pisser was that the date they listed as being the shut down date hadn't come yet. So, I should have been able to go into my account, and save all of my journal entries, so I could transfer them back over to here.But no...that would have entailed far too much integrity and consideration for the loyal Blogcharm users.
So, to you the faithful blogger out in blogland. Should Blogcharm ever return onto the scene...I heed you this warning...DO NOT USE THEM!!!! That, and regularly back up your blog posts if you don't want to lose them.
Sigh...Oh well...what can a blogger do. This still doesn't tarnish my belief in "everything happens for a reason". So, I'll just leave it at that, and move on. No point in being angry about something ya can't change. (which I was for a while...but now that I've vented, I feel much better now, lol...!)
More to come...
Love, Light and Giggles,
