CALM IN THE STORM

Posted on by

Beloved,

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

A lot of events have been showing up that used to send me into a tizzy. It is so wonderful to be able to keep my “cool” and handle the situations with a clear head and also a clear heart. My heartfelt belief is that we as a species have come through some turbulent times which challenged us so much that what is happening now is small in comparison. I don’t like to always look back at the past yet it has so much wisdom for us if we take the time to decipher what is happening in the moment with that hard-earned wisdom.

I was due a credit on my charge card and even though I check it item by item when I get the paper carrying all the charges, something guided me to check it out on line. To my surprise, I had (4) $100 charges that said Category: Telephone Service. I had recently purchased a new cell phone at Walmart’s so I assumed that was the error was. My deduction is that they had put incorrect data when I switched my minutes to the new one although it was still a Tracfone like my old one. I checked out the Description and it said: GTL *Inmate phone svc in Alabama. ?????

First I checked with my charge card company but they could offer me no explanation. I then called the 877 number on my bill and discovered much to my surprise that someone had used my credit card to give an inmate $400 worth of phone time. I was told it was more than likely someone who knew me because the charge was done electronically and the person would have to know my zip code, my security code, and my name as well as my credit card number. I still had the card in my possession and I wracked my brain to remember somewhere were the card was out of my sight but could come up with nothing. The person could not give me any more information and suggested that the only way to access who had made the charges was to call the police and file a credit card fraud charge.

I then called the police and they offered to send the State Police as we are a small town and do not have a full schedule of officers. I declined as it was not a serious offense enough to bring them in and asked for an officer from my local police. He came over and took all the information and said he would call me when he got the information I was looking for. I was not frightened but very curious; I wanted to know who it was and how they had gotten my info without my knowledge. The officer called me two days later and said that he would have to go to court and get a legal court order? Before the GTL could give him the info. Sooooo, I am now waiting to see what transpires next.

Of course, I then contacted my charge card company again and they canceled my credit card and credited me with the $400. It is time consuming to have to contact all the companies that I have used for years and now have to change the credit card number. It will certainly keep my awareness sharp as I need to remember to do that every time I pay them. During this day, I kept being amazed at how calm I was and how I did not feel like a victim. My breathing was regular even though every now and them, I would take a deep breath to bring myself back to the present moment during all these negotiations. Today I came across another deeper meaning of breathing. It really hits home and I have felt myself being more and more aware of my breathing and my trust in God. I hope this brings you peace of heart.

Do you remember a few weeks back when a drug manufacturer hiked the price of a drug 1,000%. Here is another response to the ridiculousness of what that man did.

Do you remember “Back to the future 2”? I know it made all the news as that movie had predictions for 2015. It is funny to see the reenactment of this on Jimmy Kimmel. Enjoy and smile.

Here is another perspective of your breath. It is a tool that is with you always yet you only need to be aware of it. What an easy way to be who we are.

Is there any such thing as an empathy muscle? Are the movies of today making us harden our hearts to disasters or any other kind of tragedy a human may face?

NATURE IS KING/QUEEN OF HEALING

Posted on by

Beloved,

I have been listening to Ty Bollinger’s “The Truth about Cancer” for 9 days. It keeps reminding me that there is always hope so we can’t ever give up. Ty travelled the world looking for doctors who believe that natural remedies achieve so much without chemo, radiation and surgery. These doctors respect the wisdom of our bodies who know how to heal us if we only give them the essential nutrients that are found in nature. So many people have conquered the big “C” and are willing to share their stories. Of how they did it. Our bodies were designed to heal themselves over and over again. Cancer is not a death message but a message of hope to all who are willing to give their bodies what nature provides for us. I have so much more hope now for the human race and our future. If we treated our gardens like we treat our bodies, we would be without food as it could not exist with all the poisons. This series was quite an eye opener as well as an affirmation of what I have always believed in my heart.

Look at what the future holds for us. Look at all the new remedies that are coming to light that have always been right under our noses.

I chuckled as I read this. Cheryl reminded me of the many times I have learned to surrender and allow the Higher Power to be in charge. I only wish I didn’t need so many reminders but the fun is in the journey not the destination. I am human after all and this is why we all have come to Earth, to be human.

I wonder if we can duplicate the power in this woman’s arms. It is the secret weapon we have been so desperately seeking. Like I said, there is always hope and it starts with each one of us.

Can you just imagine being next to such a huge and powerful creature without being afraid?

As I write this newsletter and I sit here basking in the warm sun coming in my window, how can it get any better? It is 40 degrees outside but with the sun pouring in, it feels like it is summer except instead of a bikini, I am dressed in my winter garb. As the time grows longer and I get warmer, I am shedding some of my layered clothing to take the full impact of the sun’s energy. I was checking the info I had saved to share with you and I came across this awe inspiring duet. What a compliment to what I was already feeling and I feel like flying. Will you join me?

GLOBAL ENERGY

Posted on by

Beloved,

I am sure that no one who is alive in the US this week is unaware of the historical moment of the Pope’s visit. I, for one, am so grateful to be alive to witness such a significant event in our country and in our world. I am also grateful for the technology we have even if it is my nemesis. I was and am able to record all of the TV coverage of this monumental occasion. I only wish that the TV Guide would have updated its guide so I would know which channel to record. So…..I am recording only two of the channels that appear to be offering the most coverage.

A nearby college opened its cafeteria to the public so we could view the Pope’s address to Congress on a large screen and then stay for the discussions afterward. It was an opportunity that my scooter afforded me as the campus is large. Not being familiar with the campus, I figured there would be a lot of walking to get to the right place and I was right. I am so grateful for the opportunities that the scooter affords me and guess what? I had my own seat so I had a ring side view. Since the Pope is only a year older than me, I admire him for learning a new language, English. I don’t believe I could do that. As I listened to him, I realized that I could not decipher much of his speech due to the accent he has. I enjoyed watching though, especially his right hand which was so expressive.

After the address to Congress, there was a discussion where people could ask questions of the presiders of which there were four, three men and one woman (doesn’t that ratio seem to be the order of the day?) who each gave a brief synopsis of what they garnered from the talk. Afterwards, the floor was open for questions which were great because we got perceptions from different people. After all the questions were done, I raised my hand. They brought me the mike and I talked a little about my reaction to the Pope and I raised the fact that I had missed a lot because I was unable to understand a lot of words. Would there be a way that I could get a written copy of his address? Right away, one of the presiders, the priest, said: “Mary just wait until after we are done here and I will be able to get you a written copy of his speech”. I was flabbergasted and I teased him about miracles. Many people came up to me afterward, thanking me for having the courage to state that I had not understood because of his accent. Many people went home with the talk in print and was told how to get it from the internet. Fr Warren Savage sent it to me by email just in case(hehe) that I would not be able to find it myself. I think he is a mind reader. If you are interested: google The Holy See, click on travel, 2015, outside Italy and you will see the ad for the Pope’s address. This is for people who are comfortable with the technology and want to know more than just this particular address and if not, I will add the link below.

When I got home, I found the Pope’s address on the TV and I started to listen to it again, hoping to be able to understand him better. I had an AHA moment. Why not print out the written one that was emailed to me and read it while I listened and watched the Pope? It was fantastic and I got the real meaning behind much of what I had missed. I so enjoyed it as it seemed new to me. I am going to give you that link just in case you would you like to read what was actually said.

I was so engrossed in watching the recordings of the goings on of the Pope that I forgot to go to the farm and pick up my beef. We set the date for this morning. On my way to the farm, one of those idiot lights (I call it that) lit up and said :”Maint Reqd” While I am driving to the farm, I kept surrendering this concern and placed it in the hands of the Masters. I KNOW THAT ALL IS IN DIVINE ORDER. I had ordered hamburg but neglected to say hamburg patties. I did not realize the error until I went to put the meat in the freezer. Uggh! When I got back, I called my mechanic in kind of a panic (although I was peaceful inside). He is closed on Saturday and Sunday and I am leaving Monday on a trip to NY to see John of God so I am trying to figure out how to fit all of this in. My mechanic said not to worry, it does not mean my car is unsafe and when I had the time, I could stop by and he would reset the light for me. He knows my car in and out as I am methodical about taking care of my car.

A technician from Home Depot was scheduled to come at 2 PM to check out my door and then my son called and was coming up with my grandson. We were going to go for lunch when they got here so I would be home for two and then I got a call from the Tech asking if he could come at noon as he had a cancellation. I am writing this to you in between all the busyness but may not be able to finish it until after my son and grandson leave. Is your day going like that? The energy has been profound and it is no accident that the love that was so freely given by the Pope to all of humanity comes at this junction of our earthly sojourn. Here are explanations of what is going on. Be peaceful, it all turns out right side up.

An answer to the refugee crisis. All people have a spark of God in them including those who are quite wealthy. What an example he is.

Who says that humans are selfish? Another example and this time, female. It is in balance.

I just had to add one more. You might have seen this already because it has gone viral but she astounds me. Out of the mouths of babes. She must be an old soul that has come back to earth with all of her wisdom at her disposal.
