A GRATEFUL HOLIDAY – THANKSGIVING

Posted on by

BELOVED,

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!

Today I will spend the holiday alone physically. I used to
begrudge the stores that remained open on holidays thus
preventing families from being all together. I have a
different perspective now which I am grateful for. With this
economy, people are being given the opportunity to earn
extra money which is sorely needed.

We can celebrate Thanksgiving every day as we become
aware of all that we have to be grateful for. My youngest
son Bruce, was given the opportunity to earn extra money
today as was my daughter-in-law Angelica, my oldest son
Steve’s wife. For that, I am grateful.

I laid in bed this morning grateful that I could gently ponder
all my blessings and then rose to greet a day where I could
just be kind of in slow motion. I put on my large furry soft
housecoat and slippers that cushioned my feet and just
leisurely went to the bow window to see what the lake had
to offer me today. The sun is not out and it is 32 degrees but
as I stand looking, the heat is right below me so I am toasty
warm.

There is nothing spectacular to look at but I am one with Mother
Nature as the mallard ducks are ducking their heads below the
water to nibble on the weeds which is their food. They are also
preening themselves at the edge of the water. The smaller birds
are flitting around nibbling and the ones who are still are small
puffed up balls as they expand their feathers to retain the heat.
The larger birds are flying around, going from tree to tree and
across my view of the water.

While I enjoy the spectacular views that are sometimes there, it
is because of the comfortable day to day views that make them
so memorable, It is much like our day to day activities, they make
the holidays so memorable when we gather together in remembrance
of the love between us.

Bruce called me as I settled in meditation to wish me a Happy
Thanksgiving and I was in even more gratitude afterwards as
I resumed my prayers. After being filled up with Love and
Gratitude, I settled down again to enjoy a breakfast I usually
only allow myself on Sundays. Since becoming diagnosed with
Celiac and needing to be gluten-free, one of the treats I missed
most was bagels and cream cheese. I used to have them for
breakfast every Sunday.

Well, a new brand has appeared in the gluten-free market. UDI’s.
Their bagels are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, just
like regular ones. Even people who do not need to be gluten-free
enjoy them. As I was shopping at Peas On Earth, a gluten-free,
vegan and organic store, I noticed Organic cream cheese. It has
such a mild sweet flavor (not sugary) that it really was the topping
on the bagel(cake). I am so grateful for those who continue to try
to make our food taste scrumptious instead of like cardboard.

At my age, it is a treat to find something I have not eaten before.
Since I am alone today, I decided to make myself a Cornish
Hen which I have never had. I am looking forward to
having that along with mashed potatoes and butternut squash
with a touch of maple syrup for my Thanksgiving Feast. and guess
what? I also found organic ice cream sandwiches with gluten-free
ice cream between two gluten-free chocolate cookies for desert.
Yummm!!!! Am I not blessed?

Most of all, I want to thank you for being in my life. If not for
you, I would not have the opportunity to put to pen my musings
and thoughts. You are a light in my life which allows me to be
so grateful for being human. We humans are one with Mother
Nature and all the gifts She has to share with us. Where would
we be without our Beloved Planet, our home? Earth supplies us
with all we need to live and the opportunities to be with one
another in so many myriads of scenarios. Let us be grateful for
one another and the diversity we share.

Please come along with me in feeling the gratitude for each other
and what we have been given. Thank you again for being you.

Simply gorgeous!

PRECIOUS THINGS IN LIFE/IN GOD WE TRUST

Posted on by

The Natural Living Expo was a huge success. It’s attendance
well surpassed last year and many new ideas were presented.
I was so pleased to see so many of you again, it warms my
heart. If you were not able to speak to me, I still felt your
energy and am grateful for you. I know I was so busy
giving the Divine Mother’s Loving Advice that even my
voice was giving out on Sunday so I know that I missed
saying Hi to you and giving you a big hug. At the end, I
felt like I wanted to see and talk to so many more
of you.

My lecture went well. They gave me a larger room this year
and I had over 100 people who came, some were standing
in the back. My talk was recorded this year and I am in the
process of getting copies so if any of you are interested,
just contact me. I want to acknowledge everyone who took
the time to tell me how much they enjoyed it and especially
the men who came up at the talk or at my booth.

Ladies, I so appreciate all of your feedback and your
responses and you also know that men rarely let their
feelings be known. I would like to thank the men who
had the courage to acknowledge that they were touched,
it meant a great deal to me that you felt free to have
your opinions expressed.

I had the privilege this past week of going to see John of
God at Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, New York. He is
a human being who has agreed to allow his body to be used
by God to heal people by incorporating doctors from the
other dimensions who come through him to perform many
miracles. He does not call himself John of God (others do)
and he always mentions that “he” does not heal, that he
simply allows God and the other Spiritual Beings to use
his human body so that the energy can be passed to others.

He comes to the United States once a year from Brazil
where he resides. I went to see him in Brazil 6 years ago
when I was told by my doctor that I needed a knee
replacement that would only last 15 years and with my
bones, most likely would not be able to be replaced again.

I did not want to be in a wheel chair at 80 years old and
I was guided to John of God. God and the energetic
healers can only “heal” us as much as we allow them to.
No one and I mean no one( including God) can go pass
the gift of Free Will that we were given at birth. We have to
give permission or nothing can or will be done. Our doubts
in so called miracles are what prevents us from accepting
the fact that they are real.

I saw many such miracles while there in Brazil with my own
eyes and yet I still remained a skeptic. I was only able to
surrender a part of myself, consequently I received only
a “part” healing. Most of the pain was gone and I was
able to walk further than I could before which was only
a short way. I could hardly walk to get into work where
I was on light duty so I sat all day.

I am grateful that I had those six years but now the severe
pain is returning and I do have an appointment with an
orthopedic doctor next week but I still wanted to try
to fully surrender again to the healing energies, to God,
that I know he carries. I got up at 3AM and traveled two
and half hours to get there but I was in good shape.
When I came in front of him, he closed his eyes and
held my hand and sent me to sit in “his” current room where
all the spiritual healers and psychic healers were sitting.

I received a SPIRITUAL CLEANSE which was such
strong vibrational energy that it almost knocked me
unconscious. Even after the morning session, I had
trouble focusing as the energy kept pulsing through me.
My knee still hurts but the process of healing can take
one second to 6 months. John of God always says
that it is the cause that is healed not the symptom. Truer
words have not been spoken as our bodies display the
symptoms that are created by what caused it. Which is
stress in all forms, fear, anger, bitterness, etc. which our
bodies will tuck away for us in some part of our body
and hold it until we are ready to face it and heal.

I wanted to share this with you just to remind you that it
is up to you, it is your choice of when and what you
heal. It was a good reminder for me. God gave you
that power and that choice.

See how great we are at creating, now let us be just
as creative in releasing the pain, both physical and
mental. Remember, God gave you Free Will to do
whatever you choose and neither He nor His angels can
take back that beautiful gift.

Mother Nature finally got thirsty enough and send us
rain in the form of a deluge. I woke up Friday to
rain pouring in under my doors, yes, I said doors.
The one facing the lake was worse as the wind was
driving the rain through the screen and under my door,
soaking my throw carpeting. I could not keep up with
the amount that was coming in so I asked the angels and
Mother Nature if they could just slow it down enough so
I could remove the screen and put up the glass that would
convert it to a storm door, thus blocking the rain coming in.

My doors have full screens which mean full glass panels. I
have someone else change them for me because they are so
heavy but I was alone and there was no time for me to call
anyone to come help. All of my towels were in use and my
dryer could not dry them quick enough even though I had
wrung them as much as I could. What could I do?

My prayers were answered and although it kept raining,
the strong force had abated enough for me to take down
the screens with just rain coming in, not a deluge. I have
some slippers with a hard top, so I placed the glass
door on top of my slipper and kept sliding my foot while
balancing the heavy glass so it would not topple
until I had reached the opening in the door. I had my
trusty pliers, the kind that grip real well, so I could undo
the nuts??? to loosen the screen. After I got the glass
part in place, the rain stopped washing my floor and I
got the chance to mop up after all.

So….for the rest of the day, I could rest and not be
concerned about the water coming in. The wind was
so strong that it knocked a ball ornament over, and even
toppled my tomato plant over so it exposed the roots.
I did not get to do my exercises as this all happened
before I could do them and even before breakfast. I am
grateful that I got to do my meditation and prayers before
that challenge and I am sure that is why my spiritual
intervention came so quickly. I had had enough exercise
so felt that I could give my body the rest it had earned.

Mother Nature is so invigorating and always changing.
I never get bored watching what nature has to offer and
was very happy that I was not an animal that needed to
seek shaky shelter or a bird that could not hide too well
from the force of the storm. Afterward, the birds coming
to my feeders were drenched while I was nice and warm
and dry in a now waterproof home.

I am also so grateful that the water was outside of my home
rather than being the floods that we have been watching
that are happening in other cities and other parts of the
world. I am so so so grateful for the most precious things
in my life. Love, health and safety are some top priorities.

I tried to get my newsletter out on time but guess what?????
My computer was working as I had electricity but so
many poles and connections were down that I could
not get or send any messages. All is in Divine Timing
and now I get to spend a lovely Sunday morning
talking to all of you after I had a delicious bagel and
cream cheese that I only allow myself to have each
Sunday morning.

This is by a daughter of a murdered couple in Raytown , MO ,
who had a Bible and Bookstore on 63rd street ..

When I had to testify at the murder trial of my parents a week ago, I was asked to raise my right hand… The bailiff started out “Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth?”

I stood there and waited but she said nothing. She said “Do you?”

I was so stunned I blurted out “What happened to “so help me God’?”

She came back with “Do you?” I replied yes, but I was perplexed.

Then the judge said . “You can say that if you want to.”

I stopped, raised my right hand, and finished with “So help me God!”

I told my son and daughter that when it came time for them to testify, they should do the same.

I don’t know what can be done about it, but it’s time for us to step up and DO something.

NBC this morning had a poll on this question.. They had the highest number of responses that they have ever had for one of their polls, and the percentage was the same as this:

86% to keep the words, 14% against.. That is a pretty ‘commanding’ public response.

I was asked to send this on if I agreed or delete if I didn’t.

Now it is your turn.. It is said that 86% of Americans believe in God.

Therefore, I have a very hard time understanding why there is such a mess about having
“In God We Trust” on our money and having God in the Pledge of Allegiance.

Why is the world catering to this 14%?

If you agree, pass this on, if not, simply delete….

In God We Trust

I hope this inspires you and helps you feel loved and safe.

Love and Light

MESSAGES FROM THE LAKE

Posted on by

When I got out of bed at 6:45AM, I opened my blinds as I
do every morning to see the beautiful lake and check for
geese at the water’s edge. What a beautiful site, the water
was creating different patterns and the sun was showing that
it was out. I did my daily personal routine and proceeded to
raise the curtains in the living room that blocked the view of
the lake through a bow window.

When I did that I noticed the 4 geese eating the grass on the
beach. It was 53 degrees so I went to get my jacket and put
on my clogs so I could go chase them away. The deck was
all wet from the dew and when I went out they looked up at
me. I said: “GO” and they moved to the water’s edge but
would go no further. I knew it meant I would have to go to
the beach so they knew I meant business. The grass was
quite wet as is everything every morning when you live on
a lake.

My land is separated from the beach by a fence and there
are two gates one at either end so I and my surrounding neighbors
can get to the beach. My bow window and deck face the
beach directly so I went around to the side of the fence and
onto the beach. I said “GO” a few more times as I was
approaching them and they decided it was time to go.

There is a section of the lake that is partitioned off with
buoys that form like a wide U with the ends being tied to
metal stakes on either end of the beach. These are so the
boats do not come too close and the swimmers are protected
and it also protects the raft out there so the swimmers can
dive off and still be protected.

Well, the silly geese swam away or should I say tried to
swim away but they were kind of blocked. I was
guarding the beach and the buoys had them surrounded.
There are spaces between the buoys and in some sections
quite a bit of space but there is rope that keeps them
together. Some of the rope is visible and some is below
the water.

They swam along one side of the U then went behind the
raft and then tried the other side. I believe they were too
scared to try to go over the rope but they must have had
to do that in order to get into the space in the first place.
I watched them going from side to side and even trying to
come back to where I was but they could not find a way
to escape.

In the meantime, I am so enjoying the solitude. The water
was perfectly still so the homes across the lake were
reflected in the water and the sun was on my back.
I realized that I was actually in a meditative mode so
I went along with it. What a metaphor the geese were
for us humans trying to find our passion or life purpose.

I was out there to prevent the geese from littering up the
beach with their poop. Do we humans just devour what
is in front of us and then poop all over our own planet with
no concern for what we are doing to the environment?

When we start to realize that we need to do something,
do we let our perceived barriers prevent us from going out
further into our passion? The geese could easily go over
the ropes, I have seen them do it many times but this time
fear stopped them. They were going around in circles just
like we do when we let our fears stop us from being who
we really are.

I am at the beach talking with them, trying to guide them to
a place I know they can breach so they can get out of this
loop of fear. Finally, I said to them: “Hey, you have wings,
use them to fly over the buoys”.

All of a sudden, all four of them spread their wings and
flew over the buoys, honking as they did so. We have wings
also, what do you think our shoulder blades represent?
From my higher stance on the beach, I could see opportunities
that they could not see as they were down closer to the water.
I had a different perspective than they did, I could see what they
could not.

There are angelic beings who see a lot more than we do and
they are trying to get us to see a different perspective. They can
see openings where we can free ourselves from our self imposed
prison if we just trust that we can. Take that one step over
the rope (fear) and you will discover freedom like you never
thought possible. Why are we going round and round and
backing off every time we see a perceived barrier to our goal
of success or achieving the life purpose we came to accomplish?

A little later, a great blue heron was walking the water’s edge. As
I watched him, he walked so slowly and deliberately, so gracefully.
He would intermittenly stretch his neck to get a higher view, a
higher perspective and then he would crouch down to get
another view.

What lessons and awakenings I had this morning as I was trying
to keep the beach clean for all of us. I do not usually go out that
early in the morning and it was refreshing to have a totally different
view of the quiet lake before it got busy with all the other activities.
I didn’t realize it but I was out there a half hour. I am so blessed.

With all this peace in me I want to share something that is quite
peaceful for you to enjoy.
