DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COLDS AND FLU SYMPTOMS

There is so much controversy and confusion on how to tell
the difference between the regular flu, H1NI and a cold.
This is a short and easy way to understand what it is you or
your loved ones are suffering from. At least, it made a lot
of sense to me and I wanted to share it with you.

Beyond this chart is a humorous look on the H1N1 or
flu vaccine. Scroll down and prepare to at least smile
if not downright chuckle.

CHANCE MEETINGS WITH PEOPLE FROM YOUR PAST

Have you ever had the experience of hearing from people
whom you have met in your past? We all have, right?

You have all heard me speak of Jennifer McLean, Author of
Big Book of You and http://www.HealingwiththeMasters.com.

I first met Jennifer when she offered a
workshop that combined spirituality and the wordly task
of having your own business. Two days of finding your soul
purpose and two days of how to bring it into the world.

At this workshop, I had the fortune of meeting two parents
who had a very unusual child, one who remembered where
he came from, Saturn!. He was not born with the veils that
we all come into this world with so he had a much different
perspective of being here on Earth.

Tristan felt his body to be very heavy and cumbersome, he was
used to his spirit flying and being free. Even communicating
was much more difficult for him because this is a dense planet
where the written physical word and spoken word is more prevalent
than communicating telepathically which is how he is used to communicating.
The speech he has is difficult to comprehend but it is getting better.

He is just now starting to adapt to his physical body and enjoy
the things that a body can enjoy, like eating, feeling things (like
sand, rocks, trees)smelling, etc. He is one of the new children
come to this planet to help us know LOVE and realize that
we too are are spiritual beings who are immortal.

I received this email from the parents, Michael and Janiece.
If you would like to know more about Tristan and his
journey here, go to this website: http://saturn3lightflyers.com

I know this teleconference will have much information for all
parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts , teachers and anyone
who has contact with children. It will help us adults know,
understand and help the younger ones.

Crystal children, Indigo children, Rainbow children, Star children, Children of the light. Whatever name you give them, they are here to help us on our evolutionary journey. In other words, to wake us up. These children have chosen us to be in their lives for a very special reason and it is our responsibility to have a greater understanding of their reasons for coming here at this time. In this way, we will best serve them in attaining their purpose. Although these children are very wise and enlightened, they need our guidance in helping them live in a World that is not so comfortable for many of them.

Please join us as we explore our children and ourselves in order to help them with their purpose of creating an environment in which we may all live peacefully.

You Will Learn:

* Who are the New Children and why have they come

* To honestly look within ourselves and become more authentic and live from our

hearts

* Necessary parenting skills that will take these children to their highest potential

* The importance of nurturing the spirit of our children

* Everyday tips and techniques for helping multidimensional/intuitive children

understand and work with their skills.

* The evolutionary changes that are occurring and how these children are ushering us

into this new paradigm

* The medical misunderstandings of these children and the rise in diagnosis such as

ADD/ADHD, Autism, Aspergers Syndrome, Dyslexia, and more.

* The importance of spiritual growth in education

* Why the children want a new educational system and how they are creating this

change naturally

We have gathered many distinguished speakers who will help us navigate our way through this exciting and sometimes challenging journey with our children. Our speakers will teach many helpful ways to assist our children in fulfilling their purpose and help us to honestly look within ourselves to heal those parts that we may not have resolved and give us practical techniques to assist us in our own awakening process. We invite everyone to listen as a family in this process because this is our Journey with the New Children.

We would like to introduce you to our guest speakers.

Meg Blackburn Losey, Ph.D., Peter Tongue, P. M. H. Atwater, L.H.D, Michael Tamura, Holly Hawkins, Mary Hall, Jennifer McLean, Kaitlyn Keyt, Terry Damlos-Mitchell,

CAN YOU INTERPRET YOUR SPIRITUAL GUIDANCE

Do you comprehend the guidance that is given you from above?
From inside you? We all get guidance from God, Source,
our Higher Self, Angels, or even Beloved Masters like Jesus,
Mary, Hilarion, etc.

WE are all ONE so it matters not what name we give our Guidance.
The point is: do we really understand what we are given?

Last winter was so brutal that I ended up with tennis elbow from all
the ice chopping which was so painful and took 3 months to heal.
I made a commitment to myself that I would not spend another winter
in the North. I was going to find a way to be in a warmer climate for
this particular season.

I began right away looking into where I would like to stay and what
type of housing would I get. There are townspeople who go to Florida
and South Carolina every winter so I looked to them for names of places
and Realtors.

Two months ago, as I was entering my bedroom, I heard without a doubt:
“No Florida”. It was so loud that it shocked me and I could not get
centered to receive any more information. So…..I thought
I would look into South Carolina which is not Florida. I discovered
that the winters are cool there. I mean in the 50’s in January and February.
You would need to wear a jacket to walk the beach and most people do not
walk the beach because of the cool wind.

I made the decision that it was not for me because I want warmth and the
ability to go without a jacket. If I have to bundle up then I might as well
stay in New England. I just want 3 months of warmth and freedom from
wearing all those clothes.

I then thought that maybe I had “heard” wrong. Boy, I know how to justify
getting what I want. Do you do that? I contacted Realtors and called
some Parks in Florida.

I was offered a two bedroom and two bath condo for $1,000 a month which
I now realize was cheap but required a three month commitment. That offer
came from the sister of my priest.I could not do that amount financially
and was not able to find anyone who could share it with me.

A Realtor sent me pictures of three mobile homes. When I opened one, I
gasped (out loud). It was a white trailer with purple trim and even white and
purple awnings. I am known as the Purple Lady for those of you who do not
know me. No carpeting, only linoleum and hard wood floors….just what
chemical sensitivities required.

It was only $7,000 but the lot rent was $400 a month which amounted to a
commitment of $5,000 a year. My heart sank and although I mentally
maneuvered my expenses versus my income, I could not make that kind
of commitment.

I was so sure that when I received that picture, that it was a message from
Spirit that I was supposed to be there. The feeling in my heart usually signifies
that Spirit is saying yes. Men call it listening to their gut. Part of me is chuckling
as I become aware of how I was trying to manipulate things to get what I
wanted or what I thought was right for me.

Three days ago, I sat in meditation with the express focus of getting some
answers. My guidance told me again that I was not to go to Florida but I
could not get any explanation of why. My feminine side wanted explanations
and I conjured up all kinds of reasons. Perhaps there would be a disaster in
Florida and I was being kept safe or….perhaps something would happen
here in my home and I would be needed here.

My heart wanted to be in that purple and white mobile home with the beach
only minutes away and my mind did not want to accept that it would not
happen. Why would Spirit send me such an incentive as that gorgeous
mobile home if I was not supposed to go?

I finally came to the conclusion that I needed to “surrender and trust”. My
faith in following Spirit was being tested again. I do not like tests even
though I have faced and surmounted many such tests. None of us like
these opportunities to strengthen our muscle of Faith. It is uncomfortable.

There are not many people I can talk to about such things and
being a woman, I needed to bounce all of this off someone who
would understand.

Last night, I swallowed hard and took the plunge. I raised my hand
during a conference and asked two spiritual teachers and healers
about my quandary. Both Jennifer McLean and Dee Wallace
confirmed that the message I got was true. I was not to go to Florida
and I had been given an opportunity to really believe and listen more
deeply to my own guidance.

When we “hear” from our guides it is us who need to interpret
the meaning and sometimes we are just too involved to be clear.
We do need each other as we get “stuck” in our own stuff and
cannot see the forest for the trees. As shy as I am about asking
for help, I am grateful that there are people I can ask.

Why or why do I need validation from others about the advice from
my Guidance? When Jesus or Mother Mary give advice to other people
through me, I do not need to validate it. It just comes and I “know” it is true
and so do they.

In my meditation this morning I came to realize that when I give
guidance to others, it is “they” who interpret it. As humans, we only
hear that which we need to hear. That is why a teacher(like Jesus)
can bring through teachings for many people at the same time and
each person is able to understand it with their own heart.

I want to share with you something that uplifted me and
brought smiles to my face. This is a keeper that you can
share and also watch again to brighten your spirits.
