ARCHANGEL MICHAEL & ESKIMO HALLELUJAH CHORUS

Posted on by

Beloved,

We are in the countdown to Christmas, only a week away. This year it is on Sunday so more people will be able to get together with their families. And….it is like a three day weekend celebrating family, love and the birth of Jesus. If you can’t get together on Christmas Eve or Christmas day you still have enough time to still share the joy with others on the other days.

I woke this morning not sure of what to write about. My focus has been ALMOST exclusively on getting a generator for the future. Of course, you probably realize that there is such a demand for them that I am looking at the end of February before I can get a delivery. I am pondering if I should wait until maybe May as the price of the product and installation will probably go down. Right now the prices are still going up.It has been quite a journey to find info and then make a decision as to how big a generator, portable or standby, what fuel choice and price as well as the electrician and propane company.

As I went to my altar in preparation for meditation this morning as I do every morning, I sensed that the cards that were a gift from the President of the Theosophical Society were calling to me. It is a deck by Doreen Virtue, Ph.D. who is the expert on angels and it is the Ascended Masters Oracle cards. I usually either shuffle them until 1 or 2 fall out or until I feel a certain card calling to me (intuition) . A particular card was making my hands tingle so I chose that and turned it over. It was Archangel Michael and the saying was : YOU CAN DO IT!

The meaning in the guide book said: You’re qualified and ready to take the steps toward your desired outcome. You have what it takes to fulfill your dreams and you’re life’s purpose. This card signals that it’s time now to make your move. You can do it! Take action without delay or hesitation.

I have decided that since I cannot physically handle the gasoline containers or even the small propane tanks that you use on grills that I had better go with having a propane company deliver to me and, of course, that means having a fuel tank. Once I make that decision, I have to decide whether to rent the tank or purchase it. The propane is much cheaper per gallon if you own the tank and that price varies from $1.50 to $.50 cents difference. If you own, you can purchase your propane from anyone but you are responsible for any maintenance or any replacement. I had a sales rep from a propane company here yesterday and he mentioned I would need liability so I checked with my house insurance company and was told that I do NOT need it. Phew!

I live in a fish bowl with my house in the middle of my lot. I have been mulling over just where to put the standby generator and the fuel tank. I could put it in back of the garage but every time I go out on my deck, it will be quite visible. I do not have a corner or place to put anything I don’t want to see. I have no fence to hide things behind and that is difficult if you own a home and have no place to put things even like trash barrels. I have three plastic buildings on one side of my house that holds all my yard stuff, tools and anything else you need to care for your home. With no cellar and no attic, space is at a premium. Yesterday I finally decided to put the generator on one side of the buildings and the tank on the other side as there has to be a minimum of 10 feet in between those two things.

One solution solved. Now to decide on the size of the generator. 10kWwon’t take care of my whole house as I am all electric including my well which means when the electric goes out I don’t even have water for drinking or for the toilet. Imagine 6 days of that, I did it for the last storm but do not care to experience that again. I found out yesterday that if I go above 10kW that I will need two fuel tanks which increases the cost of this project. Oh boy!

I am remortgaging my home and it is in the works so I called my bank and asked if I could add $6,000 more to the price of my mortgage because it seems it will cost at least that much. I was approved for the increase by the end of the day for which I was very grateful. It will postpone finalizing the mortgage but at this point, I am just happy that I don’t have to dip into my savings that I have for a rainy day. Hopefully, neither you or I will experience any more rainy days from storms like we have had this year.

I did mention to Mother Nature that we have had our quota for the year and I think she agrees with me. I heard last night that we will be having an El Nina (Ihope I spelled it correctly) winter which means it should be a mild winter. Maybe waiting until Spring to buy wouldn’t be such a bad idea. But….you never know what the weather will do.

After receiving such an inspiring message from Archangel Michael, I spoke to a person I was hesitating to talk to about a situation I was uncomfortable with. This call happened as I was writing to you and we left the call with some compromise and future endeavors in the works. I suppose I could also use this message about the generator that I have been plagued with for the last two months. I try very hard not live in fear but it is a natural reaction after experiencing such a blow to your feeling of security and safety.

I usually am calm or at least I can calm myself enough to “feel” the guidance I am getting but when I am really in a quandary, I do reach for the cards to help me. Sometimes we are so much in the problem that we are not “open” enough the hear the message from Spirit. I am grateful that they called to me this morning and I “feel” so much more calm and sure of my decisions.

I am telling you this so you can claim that message from Archangel Michael for your own. Just ask for his guidance and he will be so happy to give it to you. Mine came in the physical form of a card but yours just may come in another form. A phone call, a license plate, words that jump out at you, something that someone says. Your guidance comes in many forms so look for it and smile when you get it.

This is the season of miracles. Be like the child that believed in Santa Claus and feel the magic in this season. The magic in miracles because they are there for you to see if you just look.

I have so many inspiring messages to share with you but I know how busy you are.so I chose these two for today. Click on both(not at the same time) and allow yourself to be inspired.

Enjoy!!!!

BELIEF AND IS THE 3RD DIMENSION GOING AWAY?

Posted on by

Beloved,

Wow, what a season. One of the weather forecasts said it would be 17 degrees at night and we were looking at another storm to hit us. I panicked. I absolutely panicked. My street was to be leveled and rocks laid down as it was like a roller coaster. There were so many potholes which of course meant there were many high mounds of dirt which felt like small mountains as you were going over it with your car. It was supposed to have been done two months ago but the Northeaster hit us and most companies have been our cutting down trees, making sure broken branches which are caught temporarily in other branches are taken down or another catastrophe could occur.

We have been having so much rain that the street could not dry and neither do the holes. Of course, once it freezes how can they “cut” down the mountains and fill in the holes and plain level the surface of the street. I called and I guess they heard the panic in my voice (which I tried to hide) Oh me, of no belief. I pride myself on my faith and trust and it all went out the window. So much for pride, it was time for me to let go of the illusion.

I had been attempting to hold up my chin throughout all of the delays and knowing that our thoughts create our reality, I found myself slipping into anxiety that it would not be done in time before winter. Have you ever struggled to believe something that was so evidently not true? Sometimes “knowing” and “being spiritual” places quite a burden on you remaining positive. ON one hand, I “know” that ALL IS WELL and ALL IS IN DIVINE TIMING and I try to get out of my own doubting ways. Of course, you know that Mercury is retrograde but that ends on Dec.13th. The full moon is tomorrow and 12-12 is in a few days.

The energies are quite powerful and I am adamant with myself that I will use the energies and not let the energies use me. Most of the day I can be peaceful and then something will pop in my head or I look out my window at the street. You know how on TV, a sign will say: “THIS IS JUST A TEST” Well this is all it is, an opportunity to strengthen the muscle called ‘Belief”. If we don’t exercise it, it won’t get more powerful.

On Dec 7, the men showed up in the rain and did a beautiful job on our street. I enjoyed watching that machine be used to transform the dirt and the water. It is always such a pleasure to watch an expert manipulate whatever tool they are using when they know what they are doing. It is creation itself.

I had to go shopping, it is Christmas time after all. When I came back home, my garage door was open. I stopped. I knew I had closed it when I left. Did someone have the combination to it and if they did why would they open it especially with all the rain? I was not upset just curious at this event. I put my car in the garage and went to pull packages out of the back when I noticed two boxes and one package sitting there in my garage. What is this? UPS had delivered copies of my book, The Wounded Chalice,that I had ordered so I would have enough to sell at Christmas time. Did someone have to open my garage so UPS could put them in there? But who? No one except my kids know how to open the door. I still wasn’t upset but still puzzled. ( I am so glad that I do not respond to these events in a panic most times).

I brought them and all my shopping in the house and closed the garage door. It went almost all the way down and then popped back up again. That meant that something was blocking the electric eye and I just had not noticed that it popped back up when I left. That solved that mystery but what was blocking it? I went back out and started to laugh. When my street was being done, the men needed a shovel which I loaned them from the garage. They had dutifully replaced it but had not realized that it was put in a different place, blocking the eye.

The more I thought about it, the more I realized that I was being given a sign that I AM ALWAYS taken care of even when I don’t know it. God, the angels knew my books were coming and had devised a way that they would be protected from harm. How can I worry? How can I panic? I am being watched over in every LITTLE thing so I must have belief and faith and trust that ALL IS IN DIVINE ORDER. I “know” this but I still need reminders every now and then to confirm it. I guess I am to love my humanness as well as my divinity. They go together to complete ME.

As you now know, I have plenty of books which make such wonderful Christmas gifts. I also have two CD’s of workshops I have given as well as bookmarks which hold THE CHALICE PRAYER. They all make wonderful individual gifts but also stocking stuffers. There is still time for me to mail you an autographed copy with a message from Mother Mary just for you if you are interested. Just call me at 413-245-3977 or send me an email and I will make sure your gift arrives before Santa.

I have a very dear friend, Katie, who sent me my very first Christmas card of the season. She takes pictures and then creates the cards as well a personal note inside. It makes me feel so humble that in all of my humanity, she sees more. The cover of the card is a beautiful angel, purple of course with the word *BELIEVE* above her. Inside is: BELIEVE in the MAGIC of CHRISTMAS. She wrote:”this card is in your honor. The angel and purple theme remind me of you and your love of both”. Inside was a prayer of “BELIEVE” by Linda Ann Henry. I want to share it with you so you will feel the magic tool.

BELIEVE

Just believe in the little things, to help you get by.
Just believe, tomorrow’s life will bring
Starlight to your eyes.

Just believe in miracles. for they all come true.
Maybe not the way we wish for them
But in God’s own time, they do.

Just believe in songs from the heart,
That each angel sings.
Just believe that butterflies, are only angel’s wings

Just believe in things we cannot see,
Holidays and bells that softly play.
Christmas love that flies the world and angels to come true.
Just believe, it can be done, then you will make it through.

Just believe in goodness and sleigh rides,
All the night time Heavens, you will see the milky way
And the man in the moon, tonight.
Just believe in magic and firework displays,
It can happen anytime, almost everyday.

God gave us wisdom, He gave us wonders to behold.
Just believe, even though heaven is so far away.
The birth of Jesus can be told.

Just believe and watch.
Nature come to be, in all the beautiful flowers,
in the grass and on the trees.
God’s art is ever turning, for those who see….
If we just BELIEVE.

This has been a week of believing. First in God and then in myself. I wish you such a week.

I would like to share this other message with you. The 3rd dimension is going away by Jim Self.
So many aha moments and what we have to look forward to.

THE PURPLE BUTTON AND SEARS SUPPORT OF OUR TROUPS

Posted on by

Beloved,

I just can’t get my mind around the fact that there are only three weeks until Christmas. Perhaps it is
because we had the big North’easter just before Halloween which graced us with 18 inches of snow
and 6 days of being without power. I feel like I have already been through winter and am waiting for
Spring to come. I am claiming we have already had our quota of snow for this year. I know one way to feel Christmasy, I am going to the Bird Store tomorrow where the decorations are everywhere but Mother Nature is included. In fact, they are going to have a live hawk, eagle and owl for all of us (I am still a child, you know) to get close to. After seeing the Bald Eagle fly around my lake three times the day after that huge storm, I want to thank him personally for bringing his/her message of Freedom that was sorely needed at that time of feeling very confined.

All of you know that I am known as the Purple Lady, right? I got that name because I always wear different and varying shades of purple. My birth stone is an amethyst which I wear on my forehead. Of course, St. Germaine of the Violet Flame is a famous transformational healer using the violet light as a laser beam which even includes ultra violet light that the medical profession uses for many life healing tests. The simple story is that the color purple makes me feel happy every time I see it or wear it.. We all gravitate
to what makes us feel good, if we don’t, we are not honoring ourselves.

My remote garage door opener that I keep on the visor of my car decided to work only when it felt like it, not when I needed it. It was only 10 months old so I “assumed” that the battery was weak as the other
door opener outside the garage worked just fine. It was very difficult to open and I had to pry it open leaving indentations all along the edge of the opener. I tested the battery and it was good but I still was not trusting myself. Soooo I brought it to Radio Shack to have them test it and they found that the battery was just fine but they could not test the remote itself and they did not sell new ones. I am getting very frustrated hopping in and out of my car every time I leave or come back. I even called on my trusted standby miracle worker, St. Anthony, patron saint of miracles and lost causes but to no avail.

Finally, I called the Sears installer who had put the new motor in my garage door opener and also gave
me the new remote. I don’t know about you, but these last three months have been one challenge after the other and my patience was quite thin by this time. I am usually at peace and KNOW in my heart that there is Divine Timing and everything will eventually work out. But….I still was feeling so much anxiety over my street not being leveled and rocks put down, and my research into what kind of generator to buy and from whom and who to install it, etc., etc., etc. and also my subpump running every 3-5 minutes which is creating havoc on my lawn because they can’t mow it, etc.etc.etc. Sound familiar. We may not have the same scenarios but I am sure the energies are giving you something to stress about besides Christmas.
I felt so overloaded with situations that I could not control but still was having challenges with TRUST and FLOW.

The repairman from Sears called me back and after I explained all I had done to solve this dilemma, I needed a new remote garage starter. After all, it was under guarantee. He told me to go in my garage and
reach where the light was as he could solve this for me. I was a little dubious but agreed. I told him I would have to move my car as I was short and could not reach the light. He laughed and said “just climb on the bumper and you should be able to reach it.” I told him: I am 73 years old besides being short and I
am not going to climb on my car”. He apologized and said: “you sound like you are 35 years old”. I laughed as I have been told many times that my voice sounds like a much younger person. I don’t think he was just trying to butter me up.

I took my cordless phone with the ear plug attached, stuck it in my coat pocket and proceeded to the garage to move my car out. Then I tried my two step ladder but I still wasn’t tall enough so I got the tall step ladder and proceeded to station that below. The repairman kept telling me to take it slow and not do too much. I chuckled as I can move the ladder but I am not as quick as a younger person. Finally, I could reach the light and I was instructed to lower the cover and FIND THE PURPLE BUTTON. I gasped and looked and sure enough I found the purple button. He proceeded to give me instructions like holding the button down for several seconds and then trying to remote. IT WORKED. I was so aghast that I started to laugh quite hard. The thought that all I had to do was FIND THE PURPLE BUTTON was so hilarious that I could not stop laughing.

THE PURPLE BUTTON symbolizes so much for me. Purple makes me calm down and feel happy, the vibration of purple is the second highest vibration on this earth and it is a TRANSFORMER. It can transform all your worries into peace if you just call on it. The purple lady had forgotten to call on St. Germaine, the violet flame for help. DUH! Now, every time I open my garage door, I think “FIND THE PURPLE BUTTON” and it makes me laugh and my situations seem so much lighter. I had received a reprieve from my worryng and not trusting in God, Higher Power, Source or whatever you call the Creator. It was also quite a reminder to stay focused on the fact that I am always protected and guided if I just slow my mind down enough to connect to the truth.

Talking about the Sears Repairman made me think that perhaps you don’t know how much Sears is doing for our troops so I am including it here.

Sears – Christmas shopping this year.

I know I needed this reminder, since Sears isn’t always my first choice. It’s amazing when you think of how long the war has lasted and Sears hasn’t withdrawn from their commitment. Could we each buy at least one thing at Sears this year?

How does Sears treat its employees who are called up for military duty? By law, they are required to hold their jobs open and available, but nothing more. Usually, people take a big pay cut and lose benefits as a result of being called up for active duty.

Sears is voluntarily paying the difference in salaries and maintaining all benefits, including medical insurance and bonus programs, for all called up reservist employees for up to two years.

I submit that Sears is an exemplary corporate citizen and should be recognized for its contribution. I suggest we all shop at Sears at least once, and be sure to find a manager to tell them why we are there so the company gets the positive reinforcement & feedback it well deserves.

Pass it on.

I decided to check this before I sent it forward. So I sent the following e-mail to the Sears Customer Service Department:

I received this e-mail and I would like to know if it is true. If it is, the internet may have just become one very good source of advertisement for your company. I know I would go out of my way to buy products from Sears instead of another store for a like item, even if it’s cheaper at that store.

This is their answer to my e-mail:

Dear Customer:

Thank you for contacting Sears.The information is factual. We appreciate your positive feedback.

Sears regards service to our country as one of greatest sacrifices our young men and women can make. We are happy to do our part to lessen the burden they bear at this time.

Bill Thorn

Please pass this on to all your friends. Sears needs to be recognized for this outstanding contribution and we need to show them as Americans, we do appreciate what they are doing for our military!!!

It’s verified ! By Snopes.com at:

May your holiday shopping include at least one item from Sears and remember the NEW TRADITION of 2011 is to purchase gifts from local people and from the UNITED STATES which stands of us (US). Better yet, let us gift from our hearts with hugs and perhaps something you have created yourself.

REMEMBER TO PUSH THE PURPLE BUTTON and smile.
