I just got back from going out kayaking. At this time of the year,
each journey out on the lake is so valuable, I am never sure if it will
be my last one for the year. Friday and Saturday, I was gone all
day so I have no idea if I could have gone out or not, even though
it was sunny. The wind is the biggest determining factor and the water
is usually only still early in the morning which is too cool for me to
feel like going out.
My busyness is the reason that I am a few days late with this
newsletter and I am sure you forgive me for postponing it a
bit more to take a jaunt. I had been checking it all day but it
rained during the night and it misted this morning and it was
raw: not conducive to going out. I suddenly noticed a man
at the water’s edge so I went out to check who he was since
he was a stranger to me. He was a man who was enjoying
the nice weather by using his metal detector. It seems they
lowered the boards at the end of the lake which allows more
water to go over the dam thus lowering the depth of the lake
which makes the water’s edge further away. It is a good time
to look for lost things so he was treasure hunting.
By going out to check him out I discovered it had warmed up
and the water was like glass. I could not resist so I suited up
( I have a pant and jacket outfit that is nylon like a windbreaker)
so I would be protected from the cold water. The sun peeked
out of the clouds and the minute I got in my kayak, my whole
body just relaxed in gratitude. I was in heaven. since it was
so much easier to kayak in still water, I decided to go around
the whole lake. Since I fractured my shoulder last December,
I still cannot kayak the whole lake if it is choppy, it takes too
much strength but I know by next spring, it should be strong
enough to once again be free to roam around the whole lake.
I did not see any geese but there must have been at least 30
mallard ducks at various points. There was one of the last
pontoon boats out enjoying a last hurrah too. With the
water lower for the winter, the look and feel of the shore is so
different. Actually the feel of the lake is different also.
Most of the boats are put up or away, the buoys are gone
and I did not see any people out and about anywhere.
I was half way around when it suddenly started to cloud up
again and I knew my heavenly sojourn was about to end.
the water started to get choppy and the wind picked up so
I cut a few corners to head back home BUT I did make it
around the whole lake.Living on a lake is a perfect
example of New England weather. As we say: “If you don’t
like the weather, wait a minute and it will change”. It did
start to rain before I got back and I was grateful it was not
a downpour.
At this time of the year, you don’t have the luxury of postponing
going out because you never know if you have time before it starts
up again. It’s that way in the warmer months also but there are
more opportunities and we kind of take for granted that there will
be other chances. Now, we know the colder weather is coming,
in fact, it is here.
I would like to share a hint with you that I learned that allows me
to enjoy most of what happens in my life. It is LIVING IN THE
MOMENT. I know you know this but just let this be a reminder
because it does take practice to put it into action. This movie is
such a reminder, I think you will enjoy it.
p.s.: It is only 4 minutes and 6 seconds long
How did this full moon treat you? I had quite a few people
mention frustration and communications being skewed with
time mixups and delays. I was not free from this energy either.
I paid for my month membership at the gym and came right
home afterwards. As I was putting everything away, I noticed
that the sleeve I keep my charge card in was empty. I checked
everywhere, tore my pocket book apart 3 times, went into the
garage even with a flash light and checked my car out three times.
I checked pockets and everything I wore. Nothing, so I called
the gym and the owner had just left, he had waited on me. They
called him and he had not seen it, they checked the cash register
and still nothing. I kept looking. I finally asked St. Anthony to
help me, he never fails me. I finally called the gym back and asked
if someone could go out and check the parking lot before it got
dark in a half hour. I could not have made it in that time. They
said they had checked the locker room and had even gone outside
to the parking lot but nothing showed up. As much as I did not
want to, I called my credit card company. They said they could
issue me a new one and cancel that one THAT I did not want
as it is such a pain to transfer everything onto another credit
card number.I have some monthly charges that go directly
on that card so it is a huge time saver. Finally they said they
would put a hold on it for 24 hours and if I did not call them
within that time, they would cancel it.
Since I could not do anything else, I prayed to St. Anthony
again and then relaxed. He can not help you very quickly
if you hang onto the problem. You need to relax and trust
that he will solve it for you. I did just that.
I got up the next morning and decided to check my purse
one more time. I was up at 6AM because I had that Cursillo
conference to go to all day. I have a black nail tool kit that
I carry, it stays closed with magnets. I decided to check
that out and guess what was in it. My black charge card!!!
Somehow it must have slipped out of its sleeve when I put it
in my purse and lodged in there and it was invisible. If it had
been in the white sleeve I would have noticed it. It is the first
time it has ever fallen out of the sleeve. Whew.
I called my credit card company and told them I found it so I
am now back in business. I was so relieved that I did not have
to go through all that trouble of changing all my accounts to
another charge card. That St. Anthony is incredible, he always
comes through for me if I don’t panic and get tense. It took a
little longer this time because I was having a hard time not
thinking about it.
St. Anthony is the patron saint of miracles and lost causes or lost
items. It does not matter what denomination you are or your
belief system, he helps all of us. Just trust and then, don’t forget
to relax knowing he is in charge.
Here is another suggestion. These Heaven Letters are so easy
to understand and absorb. I wanted to give you a little taste

HEAVEN #3616 You Can Change Your Destiny, October 19, 2010
God said:
It is not for you to have concern about your status in the world.
Whether the world looks up to you or away from you – it is not
the making of you. Plaudits from the world feel very good, and
displeasure from the world does not feel good, and yet you are
not here for the pleasure or displeasure of the world. You are
not a branch of a tree that is snapped at the flick of a wrist.
Your life is meant for more. The foundation you stand on is
greater than the audience you have. The eyes of the world do
not have to be upon you.
You don’t have to be the star of the movie you are in. The bit
players also play a significant role. No one owns the play.
Whatever it may seem like, all parts are equal. The director is
important. The cameraman. The editor.
Which vine of the grape is more important than another?
Every leaf plays its part. Each contributes to the whole.
The root of the vine supports all. A fledgling vine matters.
Every leaf matters. Some may seem to be more favored
than another, but the truth is that all are favored.
Everyone in a play is favored. Everyone is favored to be
in the play. It is not an affront to be in the play. It is not
discrimination to have a small part, nor is a more dominant
role in the play exaltation.
You are all gears of the Universe. Which gear tooth matters
more than another?
Whether you play the prince or the pauper does not determine
your significance. And if you are the prince today and the pauper
tomorrow, you are not more or less. As the world perceives,
you are more or less. The world does often perceive amiss.
The perceptions of the world are no more and no less than
the perceptions of the world.
There is a higher court. It is a court of love. It is a court of
true recognition. It is a court that gets to the heart of the matter.
The heart of the matter goes deep. You contribute significantly.
Even if in your own eyes, you are a dodgy scoundrel, you have
great merit in the court of love. Everyone goes to the maypole.
Everyone is significant. The chorus is significant. Every child of
Mine is significant. You must know that you have great meaning
to Me. To say that you mean a lot to Me does not begin to say
what you are to Me.
There is destiny. There is also free will, and you can change
what you see as your destiny. The destiny that you all share
is that you are coming to Me speedily in your awareness.
You who have never left are zooming back to Me. Like
rockets, you are. That is your destiny, and that you cannot change.
Circumstances in your life, you can change. You can change
what you may consider your lot in life. You can start flying
with the angels if you like. If you have lived in a mud pit, you
can arise. There is no limit as to how far you can rise. How
far would you like to rise? And when you have risen to the
highest, then there is another high to reach, for, of what
We speak now, there is no limit.
High or low in terms of the world, first or last, you can reach
Heaven and beyond. In Heaven terms, there is no first or
second or last, and this is how you are to Me. First.
