After coming through snowmaggeden last week with 150 cms of snow over a few days, and yes I did mean 150 cms, I am thankful for the snow finally stopping, for people that help out, people that care for others, the small and unnoticeable things we miss everyday such as the beauty of a single snowflake that lands on your nose, for being able to walk outside and see the sun. It has been an eventful year so far. Hopefully snowmaggeden is not planning a repeat.

Thank you to everyone who believed in me this year and was kind and supportive. This year, 2023, was full of keeping busy with work, sea turtle beach patrol for CSTN, meeting new people, art and craft making and markets, making new friends, learning new things, etc.. It was also full of nature and animals - some of my favorite things. Being in nature and being creative is a blessing to clear your mind to make way for new thoughts and ideas.
It's hard to believe 2024 is just around the corner. I wish everyone a wonderful holiday season and good health, love, joy, abundance, hope and many blessings in the coming year. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Lots of love, Lisa Maria Lisa Polegatto Creative Studio by Maria Lisa Polegatto
Today I heard the Ukrainian soldiers who were captured were removed of their clothing!!! Is this a war or a holocaust? On the other hand, the Russians who surrendered were given food, clothing and shelter. And Russian calls Ukrainians Nazis? I beg to differ. Why is a bully, a dictator, an sick man allowed to unleash his wrath upon the world? Because he can, he is not stopped, he continues. Why do I care? I am not Ukrainian, I am not Jewish. But I am human and that in my opinion is why humans need to care. So that other humans do not have to go through such disaster, terror, hell on earth. But Russian has threatened nuclear war. In doing so Russian would also blow themselves up. Why have we let Russian gain control over not one but two nuclear reactors in Ukraine? Because it's just in Ukraine? Is it? Look around you. We all live in one world, one atmosphere. Where the wind blows so too do we live and breathe. While we sleep in our soft beds at night, safe and warm, Ukrainians are left in rubble, cold, huddled together in fear of their lives. I don't support war. I support peace. But what do you do when war comes to your door? You invite it to peace talks to reason with it. But until that happens you need to react the only way war knows how. You stand tall and defend your people until war runs and heeds the warning to leave. War is full of pride and ego. It keeps fighting even though it loses. It does not know how to lose as too often it tramples over people and has gotten accustomed to it. Stand tall Ukraine, stand tall Ukrainians, stand tall those who have been called to defend. As Zelensky begs the world to help, to fly over no more. Would Russian heed the rules? Probably not, but how do we stand by and watch the terror and sleep at night? We that cannot or have not gone, need to pray with all our might that truth and justice and peace overcomes the evil sooner than later. May the wrath of God be unleashed upon the terror. Yes Zelensky, light overcomes the dark. And I stand in the light to pray with you and your people. I invite all of humanity to do the same. That is the least we can do for humanity! by Maria Lisa Polegatto
Sending light and love globally to everyone affected by the pandemic and related illness so that the evil, distress, stress and illnesses are dissipated into the light so they don't hurt anyone but instead are changed into positive light and love to heal and uplift us all. Wishing everyone a wonderful holiday season with much love and gratitude throughout the world to share with each other. Many blessings to all. Count your blessings, love your life, love your people. Love surrounds us all, we just need to reach out and give it a big hug and hold on tight. May you share the peace within you with others. Amen. Sending prayers to the deceased seal and his colony with some Reiki Drumming to heal and send support to them. Such a sad finding of an adult seal laying on the shoreline yesterday with holes in his side likely causing his fatality. Today, nature provided its serenity to instill a sense of sadness surrounded by its unending beauty. The circle of life occurs and while it did not appear natural, it brings nutrients to the sand. Did you know seals come to land when injured so they don't drown in the ocean waters? This seal came ashore, either by his own doing or from the ocean waves. I was too late to offer him life saving help as he was already deceased when found. And while I did a report to MARS, it brings a sense of reality to the world in what is important in life and how quickly things can change. For this seal and his colony, a sad change. For humanity in general, we need to do better by marine life. As I moved down the beach to offer Reiki to the rest of the seals, they popped up and watched me drum for them as Tilly (dog) patiently wandered around the shoreline. Namaste my fur friends in the ocean. Namaste, God bless you all. May you stay safe and be protected from harm.
Sending prayers to this pod of orcas who are in mourning for the death of their baby whale, tragic beyond words, tears overflow. If there is ever any doubt that whales are person like beings, this is only a sign of what they are capable of. Release the dams that bind the fish that feed them. Heartbreaking display of love and compassion for one of their own. God bless them all.

A reflection of himself for us to enjoy Happy Easter! Maria Lisa Polegatto Feeling protected as this tree fell over in the storm winds and hung up on a few trees just above my shed that thankfully, was saved :)
 I pray to you Blessed Lord Jesus
As I fall upon my knees in humble adoration With Your love that touches my spirit The kindness of Your soul that overflows Blessing me with Your love So sweet and gentle As Your love for all humanity Although we deserve it not You so freely offer to all Unencumbered, unburdened, unchained Thank you Blessed Lord Jesus For Your kindness, compassion and love. Maria Lisa Polegatto  Waking up early Poetry flows from my heart Words come forward Thoughts lead my feelings higher As Spirit surrounds me Humbled with gratitude Compassion overflows I am filled with its love. Maria Lisa Polegatto Started my day off on the drive to work thinking about my Mom. On the walk to work I met a delightful man carrying a camera around his neck and papers in his hand. He was going the same way as me and talked about the weather, as Cape Bretoner's often do. He mentioned ice clampers still being in the harbors off coast and how he had lost many friends who used to skip over them. It made me reminisce about Mom telling me when she was young jumping ice clampers in the ocean. She fell in once and something under her foot lifted her back out of the water to safety and then to get changed and warmed up from the cold waters. The man thought that was serendipity at it's best. I do too and also think it was serendipity for that exact moment to met him on the street and have that conversation. Thank you Mom, Angels and Jesus. I love serendipitous moments. :) Maria Lisa Polegatto
 Nine years too long today since we've sat together and chatted, laughed and truly cared about one another and others. A love like that never ends. Miss you Mom. Big hugs and prayers to the heaven and back.  A Mother's love is unending
It's as light as a feather It shines as bright as the sun It comes to you even after they're gone Heaven has a way of reaching out A favorite song, a coin, a trinket found Is it a coincidence or a message? From an Angel Your Angel You choose :) Maria Lisa Polegatto May 12, 2017  "Prayer is one of the most beautiful gifts you can give someone, without them even knowing it." Maria Lisa Polegatto  "Prayer is a form of meditation. An allowing of letting yourself go within to be with Him in peace, in silence, in His unending compassion." Maria Lisa Polegatto March 15, 2017  "I believe in God. No one can ever take that from me. No one can ever change that in me. His truth leads me to the Light." Maria Lisa Polegatto March 18, 2017 "Prayers really do work :) They just come out a little bit different than you expect sometimes." :) Maria Lisa Polegatto Feb 28, 2017
Thank you for the message today. Although the day took a twist, I tried as hard as I could but I just couldn't find my wings to fly away. Just as the day was ending and I was thinking back about wings and flying, it ended up reminding me of my late Grandfather. When he was in hospital, I would go and sit with him, he said I looked like an angel in one of the dresses I wore. When I got home an angel fell over as I passed by it. Miss you too my Grandfather! Maria Lisa Polegatto Feb 21, 2017
 Thank you blessed Lord Jesus for not only hearing my prayer but for answering it .......exactely as I asked for it too and when I least expected it. Here sits Tilly Maisy Whiskey Polegatto, my new furry love, so golden and kind, part Border Collie, Labrador and Shepherd, I love mutts :) She made her first visit to the Senior's Care home tonight to visit Aunt Lena during their Christmas concert and snuggled up the whole time like the little Angel she is. Feeling so blessed tonight for not just her but for the people at Animal Medical Centre that helped bring us together and her former owners for training her to be so lovable. Wishing all many dog hugs and kisses. Maria Lisa Polegatto Dec 13, 2016  Today I am grateful
For all before me It fills me with awe Knowing Spirit is near me I fill up inside and let it warm me Tingling hands, smiling before you Sending gratitude to one and all Knowing Spirit is near me. Maria Lisa Polegatto Dec 7, 2016  My Lord
My God My Saviour I am humbled by Your presence The world can come and go But for me Only with your blessing The touch of your Being Upon my soul with love Makes gladness grow Leading me to Your still waters To appreciate the gifts You sprinkle all about Thank you for your Love Thank you for your guiding Light. Maria Lisa Polegatto Oct 25, 2016  "I received my fur baby's urn today - a beautiful golden color urn with mother of pearl. It had to be golden just like her - Golden Retriever with golden heart :) I added an urn bracelet I made with charms: I love you to the moon and back, Angel feather for the feathers I found, paw print that is forever in my heart, butterfly for the butterfly that I found in our home resting in one of her favorite spots after she passed, a golden heart just like her pure golden heart, and a compass so we can find our way back to each other again and again. With prayers I transferred her ashes into the urn and placed it on my mantle so she is still my first sight when I come home everyday. Thank you Lord for blessing me with her golden love." Maria Lisa Polegatto September 20, 2016
Thank you Lord for blessing me
With a visit of my furry love In my dreams last night So precious is the love That you bestow upon me My heart overfills with your love. Maria Lisa Polegatto September 14, 2016 "Thank you Blessed Lord Jesus for the gift of dreams that allow me to spend time with those that are only with me now in spirit with open arms evermore."
