Beloved,
We are in the countdown to Christmas, only a week away. This year it is on Sunday so more people will be able to get together with their families. And….it is like a three day weekend celebrating family, love and the birth of Jesus. If you can’t get together on Christmas Eve or Christmas day you still have enough time to still share the joy with others on the other days.
I woke this morning not sure of what to write about. My focus has been ALMOST exclusively on getting a generator for the future. Of course, you probably realize that there is such a demand for them that I am looking at the end of February before I can get a delivery. I am pondering if I should wait until maybe May as the price of the product and installation will probably go down. Right now the prices are still going up.It has been quite a journey to find info and then make a decision as to how big a generator, portable or standby, what fuel choice and price as well as the electrician and propane company.
As I went to my altar in preparation for meditation this morning as I do every morning, I sensed that the cards that were a gift from the President of the Theosophical Society were calling to me. It is a deck by Doreen Virtue, Ph.D. who is the expert on angels and it is the Ascended Masters Oracle cards. I usually either shuffle them until 1 or 2 fall out or until I feel a certain card calling to me (intuition) . A particular card was making my hands tingle so I chose that and turned it over. It was Archangel Michael and the saying was : YOU CAN DO IT!
The meaning in the guide book said: You’re qualified and ready to take the steps toward your desired outcome. You have what it takes to fulfill your dreams and you’re life’s purpose. This card signals that it’s time now to make your move. You can do it! Take action without delay or hesitation.
I have decided that since I cannot physically handle the gasoline containers or even the small propane tanks that you use on grills that I had better go with having a propane company deliver to me and, of course, that means having a fuel tank. Once I make that decision, I have to decide whether to rent the tank or purchase it. The propane is much cheaper per gallon if you own the tank and that price varies from $1.50 to $.50 cents difference. If you own, you can purchase your propane from anyone but you are responsible for any maintenance or any replacement. I had a sales rep from a propane company here yesterday and he mentioned I would need liability so I checked with my house insurance company and was told that I do NOT need it. Phew!
I live in a fish bowl with my house in the middle of my lot. I have been mulling over just where to put the standby generator and the fuel tank. I could put it in back of the garage but every time I go out on my deck, it will be quite visible. I do not have a corner or place to put anything I don’t want to see. I have no fence to hide things behind and that is difficult if you own a home and have no place to put things even like trash barrels. I have three plastic buildings on one side of my house that holds all my yard stuff, tools and anything else you need to care for your home. With no cellar and no attic, space is at a premium. Yesterday I finally decided to put the generator on one side of the buildings and the tank on the other side as there has to be a minimum of 10 feet in between those two things.
One solution solved. Now to decide on the size of the generator. 10kWwon’t take care of my whole house as I am all electric including my well which means when the electric goes out I don’t even have water for drinking or for the toilet. Imagine 6 days of that, I did it for the last storm but do not care to experience that again. I found out yesterday that if I go above 10kW that I will need two fuel tanks which increases the cost of this project. Oh boy!
I am remortgaging my home and it is in the works so I called my bank and asked if I could add $6,000 more to the price of my mortgage because it seems it will cost at least that much. I was approved for the increase by the end of the day for which I was very grateful. It will postpone finalizing the mortgage but at this point, I am just happy that I don’t have to dip into my savings that I have for a rainy day. Hopefully, neither you or I will experience any more rainy days from storms like we have had this year.
I did mention to Mother Nature that we have had our quota for the year and I think she agrees with me. I heard last night that we will be having an El Nina (Ihope I spelled it correctly) winter which means it should be a mild winter. Maybe waiting until Spring to buy wouldn’t be such a bad idea. But….you never know what the weather will do.
After receiving such an inspiring message from Archangel Michael, I spoke to a person I was hesitating to talk to about a situation I was uncomfortable with. This call happened as I was writing to you and we left the call with some compromise and future endeavors in the works. I suppose I could also use this message about the generator that I have been plagued with for the last two months. I try very hard not live in fear but it is a natural reaction after experiencing such a blow to your feeling of security and safety.
I usually am calm or at least I can calm myself enough to “feel” the guidance I am getting but when I am really in a quandary, I do reach for the cards to help me. Sometimes we are so much in the problem that we are not “open” enough the hear the message from Spirit. I am grateful that they called to me this morning and I “feel” so much more calm and sure of my decisions.
I am telling you this so you can claim that message from Archangel Michael for your own. Just ask for his guidance and he will be so happy to give it to you. Mine came in the physical form of a card but yours just may come in another form. A phone call, a license plate, words that jump out at you, something that someone says. Your guidance comes in many forms so look for it and smile when you get it.
This is the season of miracles. Be like the child that believed in Santa Claus and feel the magic in this season. The magic in miracles because they are there for you to see if you just look.
I have so many inspiring messages to share with you but I know how busy you are.so I chose these two for today. Click on both(not at the same time) and allow yourself to be inspired.

This is outstandingly clever, one teacher and his class put together a computer project no one will ever forget, if seen only once.
Done like you’ve never seen before. This video from the small Yupiq Esk

Love and Lightimo Village of Quinhagak, Alaska , was a school computer project intended for the other Yupiq villages in the area. Much to the villagers’ shock, over a half million people have viewed it.
