SOLSTICE DARKNESS AND CHRISTMAS LIGHT

Posted on by

Beloved,

Oh, the joys of owning a vehicle. I am thrilled that it has not snowed yet because it is making traveling easier. My mechanic is about 40 miles away from me but I have had him for 35 years and I trust him implicitly. We have had many journeys with my vehicles and he has always been there for me. We ladies need to be scrupulously careful about whom we believe when it comes to our cars because most of us do not know much about them. He does not do Inspection stickers so I need to go to someone else for that. One time I went to a garage for an inspection sticker and he said I needed some work done under the car (I can’t remember now what it was) and when I refused to let him do the repairs, he gave me a rejection sticker. I brought it to Teta’s Automotive in Chicopee, my mechanic. I asked him if I really needed that job done and he smiled and said I could have gone a while before it was necessary but since I had a rejection sticker, I had to have it done in order to get a new inspections sticker. Believe me, they were not happy to see me or vice versa, when I returned to get a new sticker. You have to bring it back to the station that rejected you!!! I have never returned to that station again.

Back to what I was saying before I got sidetracked. I took my car yesterday morning for its regular oil change and car rotation. Everything was fine but when I got on the highway to come home. The car would vibrate as if a tire was loose when I hit 63 MPH or above. I called and was told to bring it back this morning so they could check it and put the tires back the way they were. They re-rotated the tires at no charge and recommended a tire place to have a wheel alignment which I did. I was told that they needed balancing so we proceeded with that. He said everything looked fine afterwards but on the way home, on the highway again, the car started to shake more like before. I called the tire alignment place and he said to have Paul Teta drive it to see what he thought was the matter. I called Paul and he said since it wasn’t the tire rotation that caused it to begin with that he would have to drive the car to get some sense of what is happening. He warned me though that I might have to leave the car there for perhaps 2 days for it to be repaired as he knows I do not have any other transportation. He cannot take it for a ride until next Tuesday so I have a few days to find out where I can rent a car for two days. I love my vehicle; it is a 2004 Toyota Rav4 which has just gone over the 100,000 mile mark. I am REALLY grateful that there is no snow and I hope it will hold off until my car is repaired.

Episodes like this are reminders to me of how much I have to be grateful for and the people who take such good care of me. Here is a quote from Abraham that helps in frustrating times:

“A feeling of being overwhelmed is your indicator that you are denying yourself access to all manner of cooperation that could assist you if you were not disallowing them.

As you begin to feel freer regarding the expenditure of time and money, doors will open, people will come to assist you, refreshing and productive ideas will occur to you, and circumstances and events will unfold. As you change the way you feel, you access the Energy that creates worlds. It is there for your ready access at all times.

—Abraham

Excerpted from: Money and the Law of Attraction on August 31, 2008”

In this Christmastime, nerves are getting a little frayed as we rush to and fro to have a Perfect Christmas. Just know that it is you and your loving presence that is the most important thing that all of your relatives and friends like to see. BE YOU and the rest will flow.

Remember that Monday, Dec 21, is the winter solstice. It is the longest night of the year and the shortest day. To me, it reminds me that all of the darkness that is showing up not only in the weather but in the world is now on the way out. The day, the Light will get stronger each and every day so there will be less and less darkness. I want to you give you a smile to take with you until Christmas Day. Let’s shine the light out to the world each and every day.

PRECIOUS MEMORIES OF THANKSGIVING

Posted on by

Beloved,

I wish you a very happy Thanksgiving. It is one holiday that we can treat ourselves with good food whether you are alone or dining with friends or family. The very fact that we have food that we have not had to grow or hunt for is a reason for thanks. There is such a bounty that we can choose whatever it is we wish to eat. Except….real turkey gravy. I discovered this when I thought I would be alone on this holiday and my mouth was watering for turkey and mashed potatoes with gravy. I need to be gluten free so that narrows my choices. Although I could get real turkey in the deli, which I did, it never seems to taste like the roasted turkey you cook yourself, even the texture is different. I went to a specialty store and found packets of turkey gravy but after I cooked it, I could not eat it. It was so salty and tasteless. I had bought 4 packets (which I promptly threw in the trash), 2 for me and 2 for my son who also needs to be gluten free. I finally settled for chicken gravy bought at Stop n shop which was at least pleasant to taste. After a Thanksgiving invitation from my son for today, I decided I would eat the turkey dinner I had made for myself yesterday. I can’t wait to have “real” turkey and gravy though; my mouth is watering as I write about this. Although you can tell I like the holiday fixings, the thing I am most grateful for is the camaraderie of family and friends.

I am very thankful for you. You are a friend who I “feel” every time I write my newsletter. Without you, there would be no need for me to write a newsletter. Thank you for the opportunity to speak with you and share some intimate moments of my life while I pass along wisdom and laughter from others.

As I was in my morning meditation and prayers yesterday, I heard quite a ruckus outside. I finally gave up and looked out my window and saw geese, 48 of them, all squawking because a cat had come onto the beach. This is the time of year when the geese gather together and practice their aerial maneuvers and line up before they actually fly south together. The cats like the large kitty litter box but come especially to get a drink of water. Usually the cat will go to the edge of lake while the geese retreat further out into the lake. This particular day, the geese decided to make a huge fuss and I believe it was because there were so many of them, they could. Well, the cat did not get his drink but he was not about to show any fear. He stayed clear of the water and slowly sauntered across the beach and out of sight.

This is for the child in you and for any other children with you now.

This is for you to remember how you used to kick up your heels. It is mind boggling to me how this could possibly be done but I don’t know much about computers so there must have been digital technology involved. I was in awe the whole way through. What a way to bring so many memories together.

The heart of this child is a model for all of us adults. He is so nonchalant. He saw a need and did his best to fulfill it. In the eyes of a child, there is no color, no race, no religion only another human he might be able to help. I am thankful that there are souls in the world who portray this.

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?
