EASTER – A NEW BEGINNING

Easter is celebrating the resurrection of the Christ! Jesus came as
a teacher and example for us to emulate. He was LOVE and still is
LOVE as He is Eternal just as LOVE is Eternal. We humans are the
examples of LOVE to each other and LOVE is the strongest energy on
Earth. Nothing can withstand against it.

Today is Good Friday and as a child, I use to be in mourning
between noon and 3PM in order to be one with Jesus. I wouldn’t do
anything I liked to do and I wouldn’t eat, drink or be merry. Well,
Jesus is much alive as we venerate the sacrifice he made so we would
know how much He loved us. I no longer believe that you must be sad
and downfaced on Good Friday. Jesus gave us a beautiful and precious
gift. When someone gives you a gift, do you cry and mourn? It
pleases the giver to see you enjoy the gift that was just given to you.

I hold this sacrifice in my heart and my thoughts all day yet these
only strengthen my gratitude for what he did. He came to show us
how to LOVE and we are not expected to experience crucifixation. Jesus
did so we wouldn’t have to.

In fact, I wish to share my joy with you today. You’ll never guess
what I did this afternoon? I went kayaking!!!! The lake is all
thawed or so I thought. The part that I could see was all melted
and the geese and ducks are enjoying it. This morning when I got
up and looked out, the lake was like glass reflecting all the
houses across the water and the sky above. It was only 35 degrees
but I was thinking how great it would be to kayak. I know better as
it is much colder than it looks. Around noon, I looked out and I
suddenly had an urge to go uncover my kayak and maybe I could
just put it in the water, sit in it and the water could rock me.

By now it was 55 degrees, the sun was out but so was the wind. I do
not usually go out when it is windy as one day I was one inch from
being toppled and capsized by a sudden gust of wind. In fact, I
cracked a rib because of all the strength it took to keep the kayak
from completely turning over. I vowed Never Again so I have a deep
respect for the wind. As I was pondering this jaunt, I decided I
was at least going to launch the kayak for the year. I usually am
the first kayak in the water so I officially baptize the lake and I
am usually the last one in November or December so I tuck my lake
into the folds of winter.

The wind died down except for when I was trying to launch my kayak.
I was laughing because the wind came up and would not let me get
away from the shore. The water is low right now as the boards on
the dam have not been put in to raise the water height in the lake.
I kept trying to paddle but it would push me back to where the kayak
would stick in the sand. It was funny and if anyone was watching,
it made a good sitcom. I finally had to keep digging my oars in the
mud to push me further and further. I decided I would stay only in
my slight cove like area but once I got out in the water, I wanted
to see what was going on in my lake.

I stayed close to shore because the water is still freezing cold
to the touch. Just because it is thawed does not mean our human
bodies would not be in danger if we got dunked. I kept singing to
myself: “I’m in Heaven, I’m in Heaven”. I really was because there
is nothing like the first time of feeling your body rocking with
the motion of the water and with a kayak, you are not on top of the
water, you are inside of it so it is a totally different feeling.

I was so full of gratitude and this jaunt is a reminder to me why I
won’t sell even if I have to survive the winter. It feels so joyous
just as when you experience the first bud bloom on your flowers. I
kept rowing and when I got to the two coves that I love to explore,
they were blocked by ice. I have never been out in the water this
soon and so I always thought that when the ice in front of my house
thawed, the whole lake would be thawed. To my surprise, that was not
true. I certainly did get an Easter surprise when I saw that. What
an experience I had to be able to go up to the ice that was blocking
me. It was quite a visual surprise also. The transient ducks that
stop over to feed on their journey were there and I think they were
surprised to see anyone or anything out on the water. 6 ducks at a
time, they would fly away although I was not even close. Finally
only a pair of them slowly moved away. They don’t let you get close
and that is why I use binoculars especially inside the house as I
can get a better view of them when they come close to shore and
even when they are further away.

I saw the geese from my binoculars but I did not see them today when
I was out on the water. I was woken during the night by a lot of
geese or ducks making a racket. I was going to get up to see then
realized it was dark so I would not be able to see them anyway. A
ruckus like that is rare but it did make me wonder. The lake has a
life of its own and even after 18 years of being here, I am still
surprised by what I see and hear.

Spring is here even if there is still snow on my lawn and ice on the
lake. My heart feels so full and I want to share that joy with you.
I did not go around the whole lake as I have to break in my arm
muscles and grow some calluses inside my thumbs. When I came back
the clouds started to come in and the water changed. I feel so
blessed by Mother Nature and although it was not 3PM yet, I felt
like Jesus had given me a priceless gift on Good Friday to let me
know and feel His LOVE.

I also would like to share this message with you so you know just
how important you are to me and to this world.

If your wondering how exactly you can effectuate the most change in
your life, in the world, and even at the universal level: Just
BE LOVE.

How, specifically, do you just BE LOVE?

You BE LOVE by refusing to fall into negativity or fear. It’s as
simple as that. Each time you override a thought of fear with LOVE,
each time you remember that ALL IS PERFECT AND WELL, you have won.
Then, remain in LOVE, call on LOVE, breathe LOVE in and out.
That is all.

Additionally, if you do this with intent to spread LOVE you multiply
the flow of adamantine particles which are controlled only by LOVE.
Similar to negative ions, these sacred particles release enormous
pressure on the earth & humanity by easing tension and soothing
strain. We simply can’t think of a better way to change your life
and the world.

This is one of my very favorite songs and it is so appropriate for
this season.

Have you noticed the pine trees lately? I know I have sent this
to you before but I still find this intriguing. The kids like to
look for this in the trees.

THE PINE TREES KNOW WHEN IT’S EASTER

I feel I need to apologize for my error in last week’s newsletter.
I wished you a Happy Hanukkah but I really meant Passover. It does
not matter what we call the celebration, the important thing is to
feel the LOVE, celebrate and share it with those you love. Thanks
for the understanding and compassion to someone who wishes you only
the best in this world. By the way, Happy Passover and Love to you
and your families.

Love and Light,

HAPPY EASTER 7 HAPPY PASSOVER

Dearly Beloved,

Today is Good Friday and also Passover, very
special days. When I woke this morning I was
very grateful for this day and the sun pouring in.
It was such a reminder of the darkness of the
night and the glory of the sunrise which represents
Good Friday and Easter.

I see Good Friday as a gift from Jesus that He
gave so freely that we could have the freedom
to forgive ourselves and others. He forgave
those who crucified Him to show us the
Power of Love and to show us that the
sun always rises after the darkness of whatever
is keeping us from seeing the Light.

A hero is someone who gives all that he/she is
when someone else is in trouble. Whether or
nor he loses his life, he is still a hero for putting
someone’s needs first before his/her own.I never
thought of Jesus as a Hero but in actuality He is.
He gave his life for the world much as our
beautiful armed forces give of themselves for us.
You and I have many heroes in our lives with
many different names. Yet, Jesus did it so we
would not have to so why are we still asking
humanity to give their lives. Let’s bring peace to
the world so no one else needs to die for us.
This is a new perspective for me as I have never
considered it in this way before.

When you are in the midst of troubles and ailments,
it is difficult to see another aspect of the experience.
Whenever you begin to think of the “bad” things
that happened to you or yours, look back and
become aware of where you are now, You did
come through whatever you went through and
it is simply a memory now, there is no power
in that memory that can hurt you. You are now
OK and have moved on. This is the way life
is and always remember that hindsight is great,
it allows you to see what transpired and the
lesson you learned and ultimately the power
you have to surmount anything.

Easter is my favorite Holiday of the year. The
Vigil Mass held the night before Easter morning
brings me to the awareness of what Easter really
means. While the entire church is dark, each
person gets a candle and lights it. It looks and
feels like a miracle when you see one candle
after another light up until the whole Church is
aglow with candlelight. Do you know it does
not take anything away from a candle to light
another candle? Good metaphor for us humans,
right? It is an example for me that when we
come together, we can light up the world. Isn’t
that what Easter really means. Out of the darkness,
comes the light so we can truly see who is right
next to us.

Being Easter time, we have to have one about our
little critters who serve us by just being themselves.
They touch the most aloof person around.

A mother duck and her ducklings visited the
White House Wednesday, but the mom was
the only one of the group big enough to jump
the concrete barrier beneath the fence.
Her young ducklings were stuck milling about
on the sidewalk below until armed guards
came to the rescue.
Two uniformed Secret Service agents saw the
separation and came to the ducklings’ aid,
lifting each baby through the fence.
Tourists gave the agents a big round of
applause afterward.

EASTER BLESSINGS AND PATRICIA COTA-ROBLES

Beloved,

This has been such a special week, full of opportunities to
spread LOVE and receive LOVE. You know that the Whole
Health Expo in Northampton was this past weekend. I spoke
and had a booth where I offered Advice from the Mother
sessions and also offered all the opportunity to purchase my
book in paperback and ALSO in audio book form (brand
new). I also had the CD of the talk I gave in Sturbridge,
Love is Enlightenment which I began with the Lord’s Prayer
in Aramaic, the Lord’s own language so it is now recorded
for all who wish to hear and partake in it.

There were a few challenges as happens with every new
venture even if you have done it before. This time I was
given a much smaller room to speak in and a smaller table
to display from. My heart went out to the people who were
in the small room as the air conditioning was not working
properly and I needed to round up more chairs which still
were not enough as some people were standing or sitting
on the floor and some turned away because of lack of space.

It was an opportunity to create large from small, to bring
more power into small spaces. It was wonderful to reconnect
with so many of you and be able to give you a hug and to
meet new beings I had not hugged before. I am humbled by
all of your compliments and yet you inspire me even further
to continue on with what I am called to do. Thank you.

This is a holy week and such a powerful one. We celebrated
Palm Sunday, Holy Week , Passover and today is Earth Day
with Easter in a couple of days. Do you see how we all come
together to share our love in different ways with different
titles but all celebrating Love and Life. We are all so
connected so why do we feel separate. WE are not.

Easter is my most favorite Holy Day. It symbolizes for me
the Love of Jesus who gave His all for our freedom and how
He rose from the most dire of circumstances into a new body
and a new life just to let us know that we can do it also. He
loved us so much that He was willing to give His all to show
us the way. His brand of Love has been imitated by a
multitude of humans who are doing the same thing. Our
countrymen/women who fight for us in the armed services,
beings who serve us and our needs including the person
at the grocery store or on the telephone who help us with
our questions, etc. I could go on and on but it is futile
because you and every human on this planet is helping
every one else in their own way. You just need to be
aware of it and you will see true service everywhere
you look.

You all know how much I think of Jennifer McLean and
the Healing with the Masters show that she offers and for free.
Last night, she offered us the opportunity to listen to
Patricia Cota-Robles. I saw her in person once and I
receive all her newsletters so I was eager to listen to her
again. She blew me away. She answered so many
questions that I have had and yet left me to ponder some
more on things that my mind has not rationalized.

She even answered the question I had about why I wear
only purple. I know it makes me feel good, it makes my
heart happy but I did not have an explanation other than
that. She answered that and many more small wonderings
I have had.

I listened to her talk again this morning and received even
more insight into why Jesus came, why we as a planet are
seeing so many challenges and even why so many “good”
people are suffering so much. The biggest insight I received
is how we as individuals can affect other people and the
planet herself. It blows me away to understand the power
we have and the great opportunity we are being given.

I need to share it with you so you will realize just how much
you are loved and how much you love others and how
we can leave the next generation with a planet that will
nurture and support them.

Will you join me?
Click on this link and then scroll down to Patricia Cota-Robles’
section and listen to her talk. It will be up for you to listen to
until Tuesday but I suggest you listen to it now because you
will want to listen again because there is so much info that
your mind would like to wrap around.
