UPLIFTMENT

Beloved,

There is so much turmoil around us especially this week.  Events and decisions are changing faster than ever, in fact, more than once a day according to the news media.  When I got this opportunity from the Good News Network, I just knew I had to share it.  Sometimes it helps to take a break from today and revisit the pleasant moments of the past.

Another freedom lover is Dee Wallace and she shared this song AND the words just in case you don’t hear them correctly as it is being sung. I will give you the words first and then you might be able to hear more clearly what is being said as you listen to the song.

Words and inspiration from a special person, Esther Hicks, with wisdom from beyond.

You cannot control circumstances. You never intended to control circumstances. You intended to discover unconditional love. You intended to discover a way to feel good, no matter what, because you have the facility: you have the power: you have the ability to focus. —Abraham Excerpted from: San Antonio, TX on January 29, 2005

This article put a lot into perspective for me.  She put it in words that I understand deep in my heart and raised my spirits.

As I reread what I wrote in this newsletter, it became clearer to me that although I am peaceful within, there is a lot of static that whirls around me.  It appears to demand my attention and it does for a bit then I catch myself and look deeper within at the peace that is waiting for me to pay attention to it.  Here is another inspirational video from Lee Harris.

This story really touched my heart.  What an inspiration she and her family are. As Abraham said in the above article.  FOCUS!   If they can do it then we all can do it.  ONE DAY AT A TIME!  Enjoy.

Love and Light,

CHANGE IS HERE

Beloved,

Today is the Inauguration of Donald Trump as our 45th President. I listened to a show that was all about numbers and what they mean. 2016 was a “9” year of which the # 9 means completion. That number arrived from adding up all the numbers of the year. Realize that our new president is the 45th President which in itself is also a 9 and when you add the #9 from the year he was elected, you get 18 which in itself is another 9: completion all over the place. We could make it mean many things but my belief is that it gives us something to look at and wonder what the Universe is trying to tell us.. 2017 is a 1 year which the #1 means new beginning. Trump will be inaugurated in a 1 year.

Are you prepared for all of the new beginnings? In order to begin anew we need to change the past ways of doing things. Our world and planet has needed a change of heart for a long time but as humans, we naturally do not like change and most of us will not work at making any changes. I have faith that the Universe or God knows what He/She is doing and although we will not like all that is coming, we are strong enough to withstand and survive. We are being given an opportunity to make a real difference, each and every one of us. Each of us is an important piece of this puzzle so don’t give up yet. If you have ever done a jigsaw puzzle you know just how depressing it is to work so hard and end up with a missing piece. A small hole that looks so big when the all of the other pieces are in place. Do not be that missing piece. Remember that you vote each and every time you spend any money: At the gas station, at the bar, at the grocery store, at a retail store, on line. Your money is what the top 3% looks at and if you change your buying habits or pay more attention to what you actually buy, you are placing a very important vote out into the world. YOU make a difference.

I received this video this morning and it gave me such hope and confidence in our country and our human species. If this kid could do this, what can we do?

SPRING IS IN THE AIR

Beloved,

My favorite New Year saying:

As we enter a new year, please remember…
No matter what your present status in the Catholic Church,
No matter what your current family or marital situation,
No matter what your own personal history, age, background,
race, color or sexual orientation,
No matter what your own self-image may be,
You are invited, welcomed, accepted, loved and
respected here at Sacred Heart Church all year round.

This my priest says from the pulpit at least once a month but at Christmastime, there are more people who come to Mass so it is published in our weekly bulletin also. It touches my heart and the hearts of all who hear it and all that read it. I wanted to share this with you so you know that God has no favorites. You are all loved. Love yourself as God loves you, unconditionally.

Age does have its wisdom yet youth sometimes gives us a more simple answer because they are yet unspoiled by society.

As I sit here in my home in the sun, I realize that this time of the year brings about more concern over the weather. Last week we had nights below zero and the lake was frozen solid all across and yet for the last three days we have had temperatures in the 50’s. Yesterday felt like Spring, it set a record of 56 degrees and people were out in shirts. I went shopping just to be out in this beautiful weather and to also watch people as they came out doors. People were smiling and walking even more briskly. This morning I got up and the lake is thawed halfway, half is water, the other half is still ice. I did notice in the fall that the squirrels were not as fat as most winters and they are still normal. I take that as a good sign. I, personally, am enjoying this weather but I am afraid the ice fishermen are not. The skiers are all set because they go higher up the mountains and the snow can be man-made.

If this is a sign of 2017, we had better make peace with change because it is happening all around us and at a moment’s notice. We New Englanders are more used to quick changes in the weather and we have clothes to prove it. We live in layers so we can take off or put on to accommodate the climate. As for me, I never completely put away my summer wardrobe; I always keep something just in case. Yet people who live in warm climates are more easy going and go with the flow of life more easily. Perhaps it is because we Northerners always have our shoulders hunched up because of the cold so we are not as pliable. The warmer temperatures slow down the activities whereas the colder temperatures have us racing to keep warm.

What a fad I hope this turns out to be. Imagine that you would like someone to talk to. What an opportunity this offers because if you don’t want to talk, you don’t sit but if you wish to chat, just sit and someone will sit down with you and you just might make a new friend. At the least, you will learn something new you didn’t know before as we are all different.
