EARRING MATERIAL

Message from the Mountain ·

2026/04/25

I chuckled on a recent walk when I came upon an excellent deposit of earring material. There was a time when I would have collected the deer scat for someone to use in earrings. That may sound gross, but the world is full of different approaches. It is how we are able to find ways to understand our differences for positive outcomes. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support the show

FEED ME

Message from the Mountain ·

2026/04/24

I looked out the window and saw a big turkey staring back. I think it was sending a message that he wanted to be fed. I smiled and knew there was plenty of nature’s food waiting for him to find. I was reminded of peoples’ quest for spiritual food to nourish their souls. Nature can provide that also when one takes the time to connect. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html www.buzzsprout.com/2037649 Support the show

LITTLE GEMS

Message from the Mountain ·

2026/04/23

Our granite mountain has a lot of quartz veins flowing through it, mostly buried beneath the surface. Sometimes I will find hidden gems bubbling up. I am reminded that there are a lot of little gems in our lives. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support the show

WATCHFUL EYES

Message from the Mountain ·

2026/04/22

I have a feeling that are watchful eyes accompanying me in Nature, and I look for signs of these spirits. Then again, it is not just in Nature that I have this feeling. It is on every step of my soul’s path. Some people call them angels or spirit guides or whatever feels right to them. I believe we all have watchful eyes guiding us. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support the show

CLEAR PATH

Message from the Mountain ·

2026/04/21

It is a straight clear path to the Lupine Field, once I get around a turn from the Orchard. Thank you to those that keep the brush trimmed. I am reminded that the path of life sometimes is clear and straight but other times has twists and turns. Knowing that we are being guided on our journey can help clear the way. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support the show

A PLACE TO REFLECT

Message from the Mountain ·

2026/04/20

I am very grateful for several places in Nature where I can pause and reflect on the moment, the past or the future and connect with what I call my invisible supportive team that helps me navigate my Soul’s path. I know I am never alone, and I am no different than you. That quiet moment of reflection might make a big difference in your life. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support the show

BEAUTY IN MANY STAGES

Message from the Mountain ·

2026/04/19

I have enjoyed watching the pussy willows development this spring from their earliest buds to fuzzy blooms to maturing seeds, and next will be green leaves. Each stage is beautiful. I also enjoy seeing the beauty in people as they mature during the stages of their lives. There is always beauty to be found as we mature in life. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support the show

BRIGHT SPOTS

Message from the Mountain ·

2026/04/18

My eyes caught a splash of bright yellow when I looked out the window at my wife’s little flower garden. It was miniature daffodils, only a couple of inches tall, in full bloom. My heart warmed with gratitude, and I thought of people who are bright spots of positivity, no matter where their day brings them. They can change a life with their kind words, smile or action. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support the show

CLUES FROM THE PAST

Message from the Mountain ·

2026/04/17

As I look out the window, I can see a clue as to what was happening here two hundred years ago: the remains of an old pond that held water to run a bark grinding mill for tanning leather. If you believe that your soul has been on earth before, you may find clues to your past karma in likes and dislikes, abilities, and connections to other people. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support the show

THE FIRST TINY LUPINES ARE UP

Message from the Mountain ·

2026/04/16

I carefully moved into the lupine field trying not to step on any plants and I found the first tiny lupines sprouted. My heart sang with gratitude, and my goal is to enjoy their growth as they carpet the clearing with their beautiful blooms in June. It is good for me to have little positive goals each day and share by positive actions. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support the show

FINDING A WARM SPOT

Message from the Mountain ·

2026/04/15

I watched a Morning Cloak butterfly land on a sun warmed spot of leaves on a cool spring day. It seemed to be taking a moment to reenergize itself before its next flight. I have a warm spot in my heart where I collect things that I am grateful which helps sustain the next flight of my soul. The butterfly did that for me. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support the show

LOVE COMES IN MANY SIZES

Message from the Mountain ·

2026/04/14

When I found a tiny pebble on the carpet that probably came from the bottom of my shoe, I was reminded that love comes in many sizes. It was in the shape of a heart; I compared it to a large heart-shaped boulder. Love is something we experience in many different sizes and forms. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support the show

IT NEVER GETS OLD

Message from the Mountain ·

2026/04/13

We have been living here for over fifty years, and the view that brought us here in the first place never gets old. There is something always a little different about it, and for that I am very grateful. Having something that to be grateful for has encouraged me to find other things to be grateful for which in turn leads to acts of positivity. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support the show

ONLY A LITTLE REMAINING

Message from the Mountain ·

2026/04/12

The winter’s snow is almost gone. Only a little remains, most of it hiding in the shadows. We had setbacks, but spring is finally taking control. Sometimes it takes us the will to change an unwanted habit as we stay the course until the little remaining finally disappears permanently. Patience and purpose can be key to success. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support the show

A CROOK IN THE TREE

Message from the Mountain ·

2026/04/11

I am fascinated by the shapes of the trees in the woods. Some grow straight and tall while others have all types of bends and crooks. They are shaped by their environment. Together they make up the landscape of the forest. The landscape of life is also made up of people with different types of bodies. Some are straight and tall while others have physical limitations. All have gifts to share. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support the show

COLORING UP NICELY

Message from the Mountain ·

2026/04/10

The finches, both yellow and red, are halfway to their full colors for mating season. I love to see them flitting back and forth to the birdfeeders. People can be affected by the color of clothes they wear. In fact, when someone is caught in a negative mood, changing your clothes may help change your mood. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support the show

HERE WE GO AGAIN

Message from the Mountain ·

2026/04/09

If we had thought we had moved on to spring, Nature had other ideas and coated the landscape in white again. I am reminded of the phrases people use to address negative situations like “here we go again.” We can change situations that we perceive as negative by finding something that is positive, like the beauty of the snow!!!!! www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support the show

WATCHING THE LILAC BUDS

Message from the Mountain ·

2026/04/08

The lilacs now have some tiny green buds on their branches, and I will be watching them closely until they bloom in about a month. As I do not reproduce their smell in my mind, I will spend some time with them when they open. It is good to have something positive to look forward to, knowing that each experience is different. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support the show

EXPECTATIONS

Message from the Mountain ·

2026/04/07

I almost always expect that April weather will have lots of twists and turns before it leaves. That is sure true this year, and those expecting a warm spring have been disappointed so far. My expectation in life is that, regardless of the weather, I can find something positive to be grateful for and share it with others. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support the show

END OF ONE SEASON AND BEGINNING OF NEXT

Message from the Mountain ·

2026/04/06

The tapping season for the red maples on our front lawn is now over because its flowers are beginning to open. That indicates that nature’s growing season is gearing up for the rest of the spring and summer. In life we can grow all year long, no matter what season. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support the show
