MOOD LIFTERS

Posted on by

Beloved,

I don’t know about you but I could use a laugh about now. At least a chuckle or a grin. So I am going to do something different and put the light hearted news at the beginning. I hope you enjoy these. Out of the mouths of babes.

A little boy was attending his first wedding.
After the service, his cousin asked him,
“How many women can a man marry?”
“Sixteen,” the boy responded.
His cousin was amazed that he had an answer so quickly.
“How do you know that?”
“Easy,” the little boy said.
“All you have to do is add it up, like the pastor said,
4 better, 4 worse, 4 richer, 4 poorer.”

After a church service on Sunday morning, a young boy suddenly announced to his mother,
“Mom, I’ve decided to become a minister when I grow up.”
“That’s okay with us, but what made you decide that?”
“Well,” said the little boy, “I have to go to church on Sunday anyway,
And I figure it will be more fun to stand up and yell, than to sit and listen.”

A 6-year-old was overheard reciting the Lord’s Prayer at a church service,
“And forgive us our trash passes, as we forgive those who passed trash against us.”

A boy was watching his father, a pastor, write a sermon.
“How do you know what to say?” he asked.
“Why, God tells me.”
“Oh, then why do you keep crossing things out?”

A little girl became restless as the preacher’s sermon dragged on and on.
Finally, she leaned over to her mother and whispered,
“Mommy, if we give him the money now, will he let us go?”

Ms. Terri asked her Sunday School class to draw pictures of their favorite Bible stories.
She was puzzled by Kyle’s picture, which showed four people on an airplane.
She asked him which story it was meant to represent.
“The Flight to Egypt,” was his reply.
Pointing at each figure, Ms. Terri said,
“That must be Mary, Joseph, and Baby Jesus.
But who’s the fourth person?”
“Oh, that’s Pontius – the pilot!”

The Sunday School Teacher asks,
“Now, Johnny, tell me frankly do you say prayers before eating?”
“No ma’am,” little Johnny replies, I don’t have to.
My mom is a good cook.”

This is the best one.

A little girl was sitting on her grandfather’s lap as he read her a bedtime story.
From time to time, she would take her eyes off the book and reach up to touch his wrinkled cheek.
She was alternately stroking her own cheek, then his again.
Finally she spoke up, “Grandpa, did God make you?”
“Yes, sweetheart,” he answered, “God made me a long time ago.”
“Oh,” she paused, “Grandpa, did God make me too?”
“Yes, indeed, honey,” he said, “God made you just a little while ago.”
Feeling their respective faces again, she observed,
“God’s getting better at it, isn’t he?”

Here is a video of the inner workings of the elephant who never forgets. It is amazing just how we can actually see and feel the emotions between the two.

Are you smiling yet? I know it lifted my mood so I can share some caring and loving energy with you. Children are my favorite mood lifters but so are people who are so creative when something is so obvious to them. I hope you pass this along as there are many people in this world who would love to know about this clothing and the peace that it brings to the whole family.

It seems all I hear on the news is about how the police are such brutes and so uncaring. I know there are always some like that but most of them deserve our thanks and appreciation for all the unknown good that they do for us with no expectation of reward.

While we are in a trend of enjoying and learning from children, I want to share this from Neale Donald Walsch.

I have been preparing all week for this weekend. Tomorrow, Saturday, I will be offering my book, The Wounded Chalice in all forms at the Catholic Women’s Conference. It is a book that inspires women to honor themselves and their bodies. Without women there would be no future human race. That is how important you are to the whole world. It is also an autobiography of the many ways we women are challenged and some tips on how to be a winner in the game of life. It is a book from a mother to all the mothers especially on Mother’s Day which is coming up quite soon. Do you need a gift for your mom that she will absolutely love? Let me know.

Sunday I will have a booth as the Natural Life Celebration at the Hope Artiste Village in Pawtucket, RI. It celebrates healthy living on a healthy planet. I will be offering Mystic Readings with Reiki and also my book and CD’s will be available. Hope to see you again and give you a hug.

I am now on my way to set up for the conference tomorrow, so I’ll close for now and I hope you got to smile at least once.

Love and Light

OLD VERSUS NEW

Posted on by

Beloved,

All the people who enjoy the benefits of living in the Northeast with its winter and cold temperatures are quite happy right now. This past week brought the strength of thick ice to the region so there has been a lot of ice fishing and creating skating rings. I do not venture out on the ice but I so enjoy watching others have fun, it is contagious. While the ice fisherman’s needs are easily met, if you wish to ice skate then most of the time, the snow has to be shoveled to bare the ice below. I watched perhaps 5 different skating rinks being created so the kids could skate (where are the adults?). Most of them were not used very long and it seemed it just was more fun to shovel and create it then to use it. Yet one was used for quite a few hours. The dad kept shoveling to make it bigger and bigger so that the child would have more room to get up a running start before she could enjoy gliding on the snow. At one point, she was having one heck of a good time just going as fast as she could and then allowing her body to plop on the snow that was on the edge. She really enjoyed the fruits of her father’s labor. Until this particular day, it never occurred to me that most people have more fun shoveling and creating the rinks rather than using them. They were probably too pooped or too cold to enjoy skating on it. Right now, the snow has melted into ice so it will be real interesting to see what this weekend brings. Two days ago there were 3 children and an adult and they used the beached summer raft to sit on to put on and take off their skates. It does make a good sitting area and it is quite close to the ice which makes it easier for the smaller ones to get to skate.

Patricia Cota-Robles sent out this personal email and as I watched and listened to this offering, peace enveloped me. We all know that it is the time of the Divine Feminine to return and join the Divine Masculine and bring in the 5th dimension with all its possibilities of returning to Unconditional LOVE. I have said the regular rosary for most of my life and although this is different, it is quite similar and the energy it brings to the heart is exactly the same as what we are used to feeling and yet it is for everyone who wants to partake. At least listen and watch it once to see what if “feels” like. I so admired the music that accompanied it and the video is also quite inspiring. Many souls gave their particular gift to create this and I am grateful for their sharing.

NEW VIDEO – A GIFT FROM MOTHER MARY FOR ALL HUMANITY

This new video reveals a precious invocation from Mother Mary that is a Gift for every man, woman, and child on Earth regardless of his or her beliefs or religious or non-religious affiliations.

The Divine Intent of this Gift is to raise the energy, vibration, and consciousness of every person. As you watch this exquisite video, please open your Heart and KNOW that as you are lifted up ALL Life is being lifted up with you, because We are One and there is no separation.

What a concept this is. Can you just imagine if every fast food restaurant offered this opportunity? For the price of a dollar which is even less than a tip you would leave, all adults and children who need food would be able to eat, feel cared for, thought about and feel better about themselves. When they were able to, then they could pay it forward. What a concept of sharing that everyone can participate in without feeling overburdened or less than. The small things we each can do amount to a mountain of Love for our Neighbor.For some reason this link will not come up but it did earlier. I think they are having a problem and I am hoping it will work for you when you click on it.

Our brothers and sisters who live far away give us an insight and a deep appreciation for what we have here. Although I am so proud of a person’s creativity and ability to help those who have less, part of me had the feeling that what they already had was more valuable that what they were being given. Their bodies still responded to the natural light of day and night, their families were much closer with each other than we are, that they as a community were more willing to share with each other, that being “civilized like us” meant losing the closeness of family and friends and the real energy of Mother Nature who our bodies respond to with much more health and wellbeing. Then when I saw them using cell phones, I was shocked. Could it be that I am responding with nostalgia for what we as a nation of families used to have before technology took over all of our spare time and our communication with each other and now the family ties that are not what they used to be. I am chuckling now and I guess I am showing my age where we long for what used to be. I am looking forward to the future as we take the good that we had and transform it into an even better energy where all will be taken care of and that love will surround each and every communication we have with each other.

Bridge between 3rd and 5th dimension? Is this why there is nostalgia for what was because I am mourning the bridge that was always there. I know I have always been able to see both sides of any story so perhaps now that ability will no longer be needed while I am gaining the freedom and permission to be who I am really meant to be with no restrictions while allowing all to be who they are with no need to soothe or be a peace maker? After all, peace is here and all I need to do is recognize that everyone is unique and entitled to their own perception without the need for me to be the interpreter in the middle. Everyone will simply accept each other with no need to be like the other one and that is OK. This is what I have always known and I thought was needed to soothe both sides to attain peace. With no “sides” an interpreter is no longer necessary as all are accepted and loved for just who they are. Hooray, I like that concept.

This inspires me. Imagine the children of this new world and what they are capable of. The young can teach the elders in ways we cannot imagine right now.

THE ENERGIES OF 2015

Posted on by

Beloved,

This has been quite a week. Now you will know why this newsletter is later than usual, I needed to be clearing up today what I created yesterday. I have been doing Panache Desai’s Density detox and it has been less painful than I expected until yesterday. Panache had told us that it would be the hardest day of facing just what we wish to let go of. All week I have become aware of feelings that I wished to release and with his profound loving energy, he has made it much easier. I have had the opportunity to release the dependence I had on the possibility that a knee brace would release the pain of my bone on bone knee. I have been declared an unsuitable candidate for knee replacement surgery by two doctors. I was so looking forward to perhaps being able to go for a walk again or perhaps being able to take vacations or bus trips where I would be able to walk to see what was being offered. More pain and aggravation ensued as I kept trying to get “used” to the hinged brace. One night I thought I would have to call the ambulance as when I awoke with my full bladder, I could not walk to the bathroom without having to be completely bent over and hands on my knees, slowly getting there but not making it in time. The back pain was so severe that I was truly concerned. I decided to go back to bed and when I got up the next day, I still had the pain but not as severe and I was not bent over as much.

I am sure you realize that when the pain first began three days before, I stopped using the brace and when it subsided I tried again. I began with only an hour and a half of having it on around the house and then the next day I went on a short shopping trip to two stores where there would be minimal walking. In both stores, I had to go to the rest room to pull the brace back up and redo it as it would keep sliding down to my ankle even with four straps. The pain in my knee increased each time I wore it and it was designed to lift the bone off the other bone so with a space in between, the pain would be lessened considerably. I finally went to the place about an hour away where the technician could reassess and help. They came to the conclusion that this brace would not work for me and offered me one other brace that we hope will work. It is ordered and we will see how this one does. I have been dealing with knee pain for 11 years so with the detox, I was given another opportunity to welcome the challenge I am having and hopefully, the new one will solve the problem.

Yesterday as I was gathering all my tax receipts and info to fill out my income tax, I called the firm handling my IRA to get the amount of money I have to take out so it can be added to my form and I get to pay tax on it. When you are 70 and a half, you need to start taking a predetermined percentage of your IRA out of the total amount you have in there. There is a penalty if you don’t withdraw that amount by Dec. 31st. Guess what I had forgotten to do? You got it; I forgot to withdraw the amount I was supposed to. So I asked the firm what would happen now and how much penalty would I have to pay. I was told you need to pay 50% of what you did not take out. I was stunned and asked if there was a grace period and I was told they did not know. I called my tax person who was at a tax seminar learning the rules that apply to income tax (the rules are always changing).

The IRS had put a federal tax lien on me for 5 years due to my now ex-husband’s shenanigans 24 years ago. They had also withdrawn from my personal account the amount they claimed were the taxes that he had not paid. I had already paid through my payroll more than what I owed but he had gone bankrupt both personal and business wise so they came after me. The IRS was not willing to allow me me the Innocent Spouse claim and my tax person told me after fighting with them for 5 years that they were not listening to him. I went into prayer/mediation and I heard the word “Congressman”. I did not know what he could do but I know guidance when I hear it so I took all 5 years of correspondence and brought it to my Congressman. In 3 weeks I received a written letter of apology from the IRS (it is up on my wall) and my money back with interest. I was so pleasantly surprised.

So, I called my Congressman and the young man’ name who I spoke with has the same as my boyfriend before I met my husband. Synchronicity? It turns out that he carries his dad’s name but his dad is not the same person I dated. It made me smile as I know the Universe is always giving us messages and nudges. He was not able to answer my questions but told me to write a letter and what to include in it and he would try to help me. Well, no quick answers but I was aware that I was not as upset this time with the IRS and I KNEW that all would be taken care but I was not sure how. After all, if they can give a grace period for our taxes after April 15, why could I not get a grace period?

This morning I got a call my from my tax person who said not to worry, that she would include a letter with my tax return saying that I was always prompt with this procedure but simply forgot to do it this time and she was SURE there would be no problem, that the IRS would waive the fee. Guess what? The IRS is human after all.

Right after that call I got a call from my publisher, Author House, who published my book “The Wounded Chalice”. He wanted to help me sell more books and wanted more information. I asked why his predecessor did not give him all my notes and he mentioned that who I dealt with before was the marketing division but he was with the book selling division. I was not aware they had those divisions but I had been requesting from the Universe that I need a manager as I am willing to do what is necessary but cannot do what I don’t know to do. He is willing help me understand Facebook, Twitter and YouTube and he has many tips on how I can reach more people. I asked what it was going to cost me as there always has been a cost to getting any help before. He said his job is to help me and for now there would be no cost.

I am telling you these stories so you can see what 2015 is going to bring. Everything you are not ready to release will keep popping up until you welcome it and bless it. These are simply opportunities for us to release the baggage we are carrying so we can finally be free to be who we are. We will be able to bring forth the gifts that we carry within us for the good of ALL humanity. After all, we are all ONE, what helps you will help others. Isn’t that exciting?

Do you believe in Magic? I do and I believe in Miracles. You can see that although it may not be much fun to feel challenged the way I was challenged, Magic did happen and Miracles happened also. Believe and claim your own magic as it is there for you to see if you just take the time to be aware.

I know the news is not very pleasant to watch or hear these days. I watch it so I can send love and light energy to those areas that need it most. It can be daunting and sad at the same time. I got this email from Patricia Cota-Robles and tried to get a link to it but it is not on her website, at least not yet. It is too important not to share with you. It offers insights that will soother your mind and heart.

Je Suis Charlie – The Bigger Picture

by Patricia Cota-Robles

January 8, 2015

HTTP://WWW.ERAOFPEACE.ORG

Millions and millions of people around the World are focusing their attention on the senseless and tragic shootings that took place in France this week. Contrary to the intent of the terrorists, the World has come together in a profound and unifying way.

This brutal act was an affront to Liberty, Freedom, Free Speech, and Peace. Now millions of people all over the Planet are carrying signs that say JE SUIS CHARLIE. This is creating a Collective Cup of Consciousness that is empowering the shift into Oneness and Christ Consciousness that has been building within Humanity, day by day, since the birth of the New Earth which took place December 21-22, 2012.

JE SUIS = I AM

CHAR = The root word for HEART or LOVE, for example CHARITY

LIE = A derivative of LIER = TO BOND or LINK

Let’s take this opportunity to link our hearts with the heart of every man, woman, and child on Earth, so that the I AM Presence within each and every one of us will be able to accelerate the shift into Christ Consciousness that we have ALL been experiencing.

The Path of Divine Love is the Immaculate Concept for the New Earth. As we perpetually express Divine Love through our thoughts, feelings, words, and actions, Oneness and Reverence for ALL Life will become the Order of the New Day on Planet Earth. THIS IS OUR MOMENT! THE TIME FOR US TO ACT IS NOW!

God Bless YOU,

Patricia Cota-Robles

Remember that you are the power; it is all in your hands and heart. This is a reminder of just what is needed for you to BE WHO YOU ARE MEANT TO BE. Start with loving yourself, smile when you goof, like I did with my IRA and let your child come out to play. As a child, we had Walt Disney that kept the belief in magic alive. Even Jesus said:” Become like a little child”.
