"Reflections " October 2010
There are various definitions of reflection. One is to reflect, or contemplate something.
I like to do that to find clarity on something or to just think about and remember an
experience or occurrence.
Another meaning of reflection is to see yourself, for instance, in a mirror or in a pool of
water. What do you see when you look into a mirror? Do you see just a face and it's
features? Or do you see more than that? Do you ever look into the eyes in that
reflection of yourself and stare deeply into them? If you do, and really stare closely,
you will see something more than the surface image you usually see. You will be
looking directly into your soul. And then you will begin to see the beauty in yourself.
The true beauty of who you really are. The beauty and magnificent being you are.
Oh and you are magnificent. You are wonderful. When you feel the love for that
wonderful being you are, find respect and admiration for who you are and what you
are; your whole world as you see it will change. If you no longer are in criticism of
yourself, feeling guilty for something you feel you have done or said, holding blame or
unforgiveness for yourself, you will let go of illusions that hold you back from
experiencing the life you are meant to have.
Another meaning of reflection is how you see another person or even a group of
persons. Whatever you see in another, whether it is 'good' or 'bad', is a reflection of
something inside you. Judgment of another is merely a reflection of something you
do not like that is within yourself. Blaming someone else is really holding blame for
yourself.
If you begin to see just how amazing you are and love yourself for being so amazing,
your reflection of others will change. The only thing that stands in the way of seeing
everyone and everything in love is your thoughts of you! Hold yourself in love and
be very proud of who you are and what you are. You deserve it! Remember
everyone is doing the best they can and so are you. Be love, be loving and know
that you are loved. The love you hold for yourself will be the reflection that comes
back to you.
I send love to each of you magnificent beings!

"Closing Doors " November 2010
We are aware when doors close in our lives. Those doors can be doors of a job or career,
of a relationship, of an idea that we thought was something we wanted. These do
happen to all of us quite often. At first we may see them as an end of or to something
and we cannot imagine how we can live without it or them. But with further reflection we
can see, if we choose, that it is okay. That all will be all right and it is for our better good.
How we react is the key to how it will affect us. If we see it as a bad thing, something that
has given us one of those 'life has dealt me a bad hand' thoughts, then we most likely will
be dwelling in misery. But that misery is not necessary. It is our choice to move on and
celebrate the new that is to come or to stay and be a 'victim of circumstances'.
Everything happens for a reason. Nothing just comes to us that we did not want, even if
we are not aware that we did want it. We create everything that happens in our lives at
all times. The Universe hears only what we think or say. So if we think things are bad and
we have been dealt that bad hand, then of course that is what we will experience.
If we can look at that door as closing for a reason and that it is the beginning of
something new and better instead of the end of something we will experience, many new
and exciting things in our lives.
The saying is that when one door closes another one opens. This is very true. And the
new doors are always better.
Being grateful for the new opportunities that are coming to you, and they are at all times,
will open those new doors so that they are wide open. See everything as a blessing no
matter how it may appear and say thank you for giving you the opportunity to grow
and experience even more and better things.
There are always doors that are waiting for you to open but you need to be alert and
notice them. Then when you do see them, being open to receiving whatever is on the
other side without fear or trepidation will give you a joyful and wonderful experience.
The Universe wants to bring many joys and much abundance to you. If you dance with
the rhythm of the Universe and sing the song of newness without concern of how it will
come, you will find that those doors that are opening will reveal many good opportunities
for you. There is a endless supply for everyone of abundance and happiness right there
waiting for you. It does not matter if you are singing off key or don't know the correct
lyrics. Your key and your lyrics are all that matters.
And lastly, with your new doors, don't put limitations on what you expect to be on the
other side. Be open to exiting things you didn't even think about and to surprises that will
make you smile. If you allow good to come to you it will. Just know it is right there and
that only good can come to you.

"Transition" December 2010
The dictionary definition of 'transition' is "passage from one state, place, stage or
subject to another."
I would like to talk about transition as in the passage the soul takes from it's
incarnation in a human body to it's original 'home' which is across the veil.
My mother made her transition at the age of 93 on November 7th. I was blessed to
be a part of this for the past year. I am so grateful to her for allowing me to be with
her on this journey of transitioning.
We have all been taught that we die at the end of our lifetime here. But this is really
not true. Our souls are immortal and only our bodies, the temple or house we use
while we are here, will die.
We have been taught to fear death. But again, there is no death as we live
eternally. There is nothing to fear. Fear is only a shadow while love is light. If we
allow our light to shine the fear or shadow will be no more.
In this past year I have come to understand it all very clearly. It is a beautiful thing
that we all can and will go through. There is no grim reaper to knock at our door to
take us away. There is only love waiting for us.
My mother was surrounded by so many Angels and Masters who assisted her with
her crossing over to the other side. She had family and loved ones who had already
made the transition waiting for her. This is how it will be for each of us when we
make our passage from this state to the next one.
I also have come to understand that it isn't something that just happens in a quick
way. It is a process that one takes. My mother began hers one year ago. She had
to overcome the fears that she had just like most of us have. She had to find peace
within herself and with her loved ones. She had to learn to trust that everything
would be okay and see that she had nothing to worry over. I was able to help her
with this and am so very grateful that I could.
For some this takes a long time and for others it will be much shorter. But there is
nothing to fear or be afraid of as it is what I feel, the most beautiful experience we all
will have.
I thank her for sharing it with me. I thank her for giving this to me out of love. We
all are here to learn from our experiences and this has been one that has given me
growth and even a deeper connection with Spirit than I ever imagined could be.
I hope that my sharing this with you will help you to let go of the fears that you
may have and see it as a celebration of love.
May you be in peace and joy at all times.

"Resolutions" January 2011
It is that time of the year again. All the hype about making New Year's resolutions and
then no one sticking to them has been the norm for so very long.
Why do we make them and then do not keep them? Why do we make what is really a
promise to ourselves knowing that we have no intention of keeping that promise?
Maybe it is time to shift to a new way of thinking. Perhaps we should let go of the word
"resolutions' and begin to use a new one or ones that will have more meaning.
Many of us, and I am included in this 'group', say affirmations on a regular basis. An
affirmation is a very powerful thing if used in the right way. But it can be just like that
resolution if there is no foundation to it and no true commitment. If we say an affirmation
without the words and the meaning or intention coming from our hearts, then they are
again promises that we really have no intention of keeping. How we feel about it is the
key. And believing in ourselves and our words is also the key.
But if we really go within and listen to that inner voice that is telling us what it is we want
to do, to accomplish what is in our hearts that will bring us to a place of peace and joy,
then we can do our affirmations with power and conviction.
This is really not a hard thing to do. When we are saying affirmations that are in love and
the knowing that this is truly what we wish to do, change, accomplish, heal or become,
there is so much power in them.
Intentions and affirmations go hand-in-hand. I let go of 'resolutions' long ago and
changed to making intentions. When I say an intention that comes from my heart and
not my mind, I am putting it out there for the Universe to receive and then if I hold trust
and faith that it will come to me, it will. The same goes with the daily affirmations I say.
So if we let go of the dreaded or comical resolutions every year that are loosely tossed
out without much thought, and instead hold intentions, say affirmations and have
thoughts that come from within - within that place inside where our soul resides, we can
make a difference in our lives. And it does not have to be once a year either. All year long
we can intend and affirm and receive. We deserve to do this throughout the year. Use it
and find out how magical it can be to use your power of intention to bring to you what
you wish and have your dreams come true. It can and will happen!
Happy New Year! Happy affirming and intending!

"When a Tight Place Becomes Freedom" February 2011
I post a quote in my monthly newsletter and the one for this month was inspiration
for my article this month. It is from Harriet Beecher Stowe and goes as follows:
"When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as
though you could not hang on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just
the place and time that the tide will turn."
Oh how many times each of us have felt we are in between that 'rock and a hard
place' and we feel there is nowhere to go, to turn, or hope of things changing. Of
course we all have done this at least a few times in our lives.
But as she says, this is when the tide will turn. Somehow if we are able to pull out
just a small amount of tenacity and perseverance and say, "No I will not let this get
me down," we can find the tide will turn.
We all have the power within to change what is not working in our lives and that is
a grand thing in this Free Choice Universe we live in. No one can do anything to us
nor tell us what to do. It is solely our choice; our choice to grasp for the better way
of life instead of staying stuck in what we do not like.
And how do we do that? First we must have self-confidence that we can do it and
secondly we must trust that we can and that it will happen. See it as already done
and here, not what you hope will come. Know it is here and then express gratitude
that it has already arrived . Do not doubt that it isn't or can't be for that will bring
you the 'isn't' and the 'can't'. All thoughts of lack and feelings of being a victim of
something or someone are illusions that we have created and come to believe.
They are not real. What is real in your world is what you create and have created.
If you see light instead of darkness, then all will be in light.
So let the waves of change flow gently across you and your being instead of
having them crashing over you with force. Be in the knowing that everything will
be provided for you in just the right time and place. Everything and anything is
possible. Rather than ride the rapid waves in fear of the falls ahead and hanging on
for dear life; float gently along knowing that you are safe and everything is just fine.
I wish for you peacefulness, love and joy!

"The Flow of Life " March 2011
Going with the flow. Flowing down the stream of life. These are some of the things that we
have heard so many times. And now it is more important than ever to heed those words
and to understand what they mean. And what does it really mean to "go with the flow"?
Being in the flow of your life is being in peace with yourself as well as what is in your life in
each moment. I recently read something that had touched on this. It was about coming
to the point where you are allowing - 'life is moving you instead of you moving it.' Those
words were very profound for me.
When your vehicle runs out of gas you might have to push it to the side of the road.
Most all of the time the need to be pushing it could have been prevented. When we hold
on to notions and beliefs that are based in fears, we are pushing and resisting healing and
the flow of what can be so amazing. We struggle, we try to do what we think we should,
all to find out that it seems to only get worse. There really is never a need to push or
resist. Another saying just came to mind - "the point of least resistance". We all want that!
But we fall back into the old familiar way of fighting with what is going on in our lives and
into the fears of what is to come, or for that matter, what will not come. We all do it. We
think we can handle anything but then we find we really can't. Of course these are all
illusions that we have created and so have become truths for us.
When we can come back to the present moment and be in that moment only, we can
find there are no barriers or obstacles for us to move ahead. When we step out of the
moment and go into the past, then those barriers are in front of us and even all around
us like a giant fortress.
Being in the flow is just being in the moment. And when we are there and not in the past
or even the future in our thoughts, we are allowing life to unfold as it is meant to be.
When our perception is not in the moment but outside instead, we get out of the flow.
I know how we hear words from so many who are trying to inspire us to be more than
we let ourselves be. And yes, it can be overwhelming and you ask how am I supposed to
do this?
It actually is easier than it may seem. Being still and listening to that inner wisdom and
guidance that is always there for you is how to do it. Let your inner voice be heard. Let
your heart guide you. Allow, allow, allow.
Just by having the thoughts of "how can I do that?", "That isn't possible for me to do
that", "Maybe it is easy for others but it isn't for me" and so on, are putting up limitations
and barriers right away. Of course you can do it. Of course others can do it but so can
you. What is easy for others can be easy for you. Don't give the Universe 'can't' and
'won't' because that is what you will be given. Saying, "I can...." tells the Universe that
you can and thus you will. Saying, "I can't...." sends that out and so you can't.
The flow of life is meant to flow like a gentle stream around and over anything that is put
in the way. Everyone can go around or over the 'obstacles' that they are confronted with
at any time. And of course those 'obstacles' are only illusions we have created. Your flow
of life can move along so smoothly if you let it. Be in the flow and allow what you want to
flow to you. You don't have to be like a salmon and go against the stream. Struggling and
being miserable don't have to be yours.

"Obtaining Happiness and Keeping It!" April 2011
Everyone wants to be happy. No one wishes unhappiness although sometimes from
outward appearances we can wonder if they really do like being in that space.
Our happiness does not have anything to do with that of another's. Because
someone seems to be in a place where they do not have joy and even may tell us
they are unhappy; it has nothing to do with us. We all have choice and it is our
choice to be joyful or not. No one else can tell us otherwise. It is not the responsibility
of one for another's well-being or happiness. Besides that, what we may think is
unhappiness may not be the case with someone as they may not see it that way. We
are in charge of ourselves and of no other.
And no one else can make us unhappy if we choose not to be. And that includes
loved ones, partners, spouses and children. They are unhappy, or seem to be
because they chose to be that way. But they cannot make you be in that same state.
Once we see this and realize that another's life is not ours and we can be how we wish
no matter what anyone else does or says, we can begin to bring joy into our lives.
Your happiness does not depend on what someone else says or does.
We have all been there - we start feeling down, sad and even miserable because of
what is going on around us. But what is inside and not outside is where the difference
is in how we can feel.
It is very easy to become part of another's drama and let ourselves fall into being in
the same mindset as another. When this happens it may seem harder to remove
yourself from that state than to remain there.
Actually it isn't as hard as it may seem. Changing thoughts of pity, anger, fear and
being a victim, to uplifting thoughts of compassion, knowing each is responsible for
his or her own life, and seeing the good in everything that comes into your life no
matter what it may be, will create a life of joy, happiness and feelings of well-being.
Peace comes with happiness.
Creating our lives in the way we want them to be is our choice and our privilege as a
soul in a human experience. We have Free Will and Free Choice. So what do you
choose?
When we can realize how magnificent we are and that we are all equal Divine beings
of unlimited choice, we can achieve all that we desire.
The lyrics, "Don't worry, be happy" are wonderful words to follow. The melody is
uplifting and I am sure that if you sing those few words a few times each day, a smile
will come to your face as well as to your heart. The smile is the first sign that all is
much better than you think!
May the Bluebird of Happiness bring you joy and love today!

"Being True to Yourself" May 2011
How often do you hear someone say that another is not in his/her truth? And what does
that mean?
When we learn to become one with ourselves: that is, not being in one way inside and
another way outside, we find our truth. We discover our truth and who we really are
when we go inside instead of outside. When we do not try to hide who we really are by
showing a false self to the world, we are true to ourselves.
Who you are is a wonderful thing. There is no need to be anything else but that.
Pretending to be someone who is not really you does not serve you at all. Beliefs that we
must do what others tell us we should do, act in ways they say is the correct way to act,
dress as others dress, and so on are beliefs that are not true. Thus we are not being true
to ourselves.
So how do you get to that place of being in your truth?
First one must let the inner wisdom that we all have be the place where we go. Those
instincts that tell you that you should do something or go somewhere are coming from
your inner wisdom which is your truth.
Listening to that gut feeling is accessing your truth.
When you can be at peace with who you are and know how magnificent you truly are,
you are in your truth. To be in your truth you must completely acknowledge that right
now, in this very moment, that you are perfect in all ways.
Yes perfect! When you can believe in your perfection without any doubt you are being
true to yourself.
When you let go of anything that does not serve you, whether it is a job, relationship,
or beliefs, you will be in your truth.
Trust your instincts for they will tell what it is you need to do. Trust yourself to follow
that guidance that is right there within you. Your inner wisdom is where you will find the
way to joy, happiness and peace of mind. Go inside and access the vast warehouse of
knowledge and wisdom that you have. The answers are there.
Let the real you shine and share that with the world. Then you will be true to yourself.
A wonderful quote goes like this: "Be who you are and say what you feel because those
who don't matter don't and those who matter don't mind." Dr. Seuss
That is being in your truth and being true to yourself.

"Stepping into the Power of Self-Appreciation" June 2011
In my newsletters I share a quote each month and often the one I am using that
month is inspiration for my article. That is the case this month. Here is the quote I
chose for the June newsletter.
"You spend a good part of your life revolving around another person, and when you
fall out of orbit it could be the golden opportunity to realize you are a star of your
own." ~Dodinsky~
Do those words resonate with you?
Everyone of us has at least one time in our lives, and for most it has been more than
once, where we create our world around another one or several, or even a group, and
all that we do and feel is for them. They are the center of everything. All of our
thoughts and actions revolve around them and what they want (at least what we think
they want).
But when this is done and they move away from that center, there is a hollowness, a
sadness, and an emptiness that we feel deep inside. We are very good at putting
feelings we do not wish to see down so far within that they are buried and we are in a
sense numb to them. We do this with our children, bosses, spouses or partners,
teachers, religious ideas and we become second and actually like an underling. And we
are quite good at it.
But the time will always come when it all changes. Our children grow up and move on in
their own lives (the one that was always only theirs yet we put ourselves into it without
thought of anything else), we change jobs or the bosses move on, relationships
change and often end, we outgrow the teachers and the religions we have always
followed.
We find ourselves looking around and wondering what happened. How did we get into
this space? Did they not appreciate the sacrifices we gave to them out of love or
respect? How could this be?
We all must let go of these actions and thoughts that another is the center of our lives.
Yes we love our children dearly but they are only ours to nourish and nurture until they
are able to go on their own. We cannot live another's life. We cannot be another nor
can we live through anyone else.
Each of us has our own unique path and life to live. We are in charge of that life. We
cannot tell someone else what to do or mold them into what we believe is the right way
for them. How do we know what is right for another? We don't.
So when that 'golden opportunity' that Dodinsky related in the quote, comes to us,
then we must take hold of it and see that we are the most important 'star' in our lives
and we always have been. Loving ourselves does not take away from the love we have
for another. It actually creates the ability to give more love yet not try to control.
No matter how good our intentions are, we must not try to be in control of another.
And when we hold them at the center of our universe we are trying to control them.
Being the center or our own universe is where we need to reside.
So when you 'fall out of orbit' be joyful and begin to focus on yourself and give the
love and attention to you and who you are. Become that shining star that you really
are.
There is always room in your heart for love of someone else. But loving them and living
through them is not the same. Let them make their own choices and allow them to be
themselves by focusing on loving you - the true center of your universe.

In my newsletters I share a quote each month and often the one I am using that
month is inspiration for my article. That is the case this month. Here is the quote I
chose for the June newsletter.
"You spend a good part of your life revolving around another person, and when you
fall out of orbit it could be the golden opportunity to realize you are a star of your
own." ~Dodinsky~
Do those words resonate with you?
Everyone of us has at least one time in our lives, and for most it has been more than
once, where we create our world around another one or several, or even a group, and
all that we do and feel is for them. They are the center of everything. All of our
thoughts and actions revolve around them and what they want (at least what we think
they want).
But when this is done and they move away from that center, there is a hollowness, a
sadness, and an emptiness that we feel deep inside. We are very good at putting
feelings we do not wish to see down so far within that they are buried and we are in a
sense numb to them. We do this with our children, bosses, spouses or partners,
teachers, religious ideas and we become second and actually like an underling. And we
are quite good at it.
But the time will always come when it all changes. Our children grow up and move on in
their own lives (the one that was always only theirs yet we put ourselves into it without
thought of anything else), we change jobs or the bosses move on, relationships
change and often end, we outgrow the teachers and the religions we have always
followed.
We find ourselves looking around and wondering what happened. How did we get into
this space? Did they not appreciate the sacrifices we gave to them out of love or
respect? How could this be?
We all must let go of these actions and thoughts that another is the center of our lives.
Yes we love our children dearly but they are only ours to nourish and nurture until they
are able to go on their own. We cannot live another's life. We cannot be another nor
can we live through anyone else.

"Moment of Freedom" July 2011
If you have been reading many of these articles you will know how much I love quotes. I
also use one each month in my newsletter.
There are so many wonderful quotes by numerous amazing and wise persons whose
words, even if just a few, can be very powerful and even life-changing. Often just
reading a quote can bring and "Ah Ha" moment.
I actually have a notebook full of quotes that I add to very often as I come across them.
One such quote has been in my notebook for a very long time. The author is Voltaire
and I love to use his words. This one is "Man is free at the moment he wishes to be."
Ten words carry powerful meaning in them. This quote is one of my very favorites.
We all have complete control of everything that comes into our lives. There is nothing
that anyone else can do to us or tell us what to do, or even not to do. We are in charge.
We are in the driver's seat.
We are free when we realize this and know that we have control in all that we do, we say
and bring into our lives.
We are free when we wish to be. Oh yes! Our freedom depends on what we want and
do. When fear keeps us from making decisions or choices, holds us back from accepting
change or in other words resisting change, we do not have freedom. We can find
ourselves in a box without knowing how we got there. Then it becomes harder to
attempt to get out of that box.
The ability to create our own existence is ours and ours alone. By letting go of the old,
the past which doesn't matter any more at all and not fixating on what will happen in the
future, we can relax and be in the moment.
The possibilities are unlimited and right there for us to grab on to if we trust that we can
do it. We have all the support and more than we need from the Universe.
Life is supposed to be easy so why do we make it so hard? Resisting change and making
choices only brings more of what we don't want.
Since you are already in the driver's seat, why not take the wheel in your hands and
follow the road of your dreams. What you do in this moment creates your future. Don't
worry about where the road will take you; just know it will take you far and that there are
amazing things for you to experience. When you are consciously aware of your
thoughts and actions and let them come from your inner wisdom and power, you will
gain freedom.

"A Balancing Act " August 2011
We all know about balance in our lives, at least we understand that we are supposed to
find balance. We know we need to balance our personal/home lives with our jobs or
careers. We know that we are supposed to eat a 'balanced diet' to maintain good
health.
We watch gymnasts perform amazing feats on a balance beam. We must balance our
checking accounts to make sure it is in the black and not in the red. How often have
you looked in amazement at a mother balancing an infant on her hip while performing
other tasks such as holding onto a toddler with her other hand?
How about balance within? Do you think about that at any time? What does that
mean?
Think about it. If we are out of balance in our inner thoughts, feelings and emotions,
turmoil can be keeping us from having the peace we so desire.
One very important aspect of this is in giving and receiving. If you are a 'giver' and
continue to give without receiving in equal proportions you will be out of balance. No
matter how willing you are to give to others without having strings attached and you
do not allow yourself to receive in return, thoughts of unfairness, equality, and
unappreciation will come up. Everyone of us has this even if you do not think it pertains
personally. It is part of being a human.
When it is hard to accept gifts from others even if they are compliments or kind words,
balance cannot be there.
Oh the other side of the coin, if you feel you are receiving and not giving in return, guilt
can weigh in because of the imbalance you feel is present.
Other forms of balance within yourself are important too. One is finding time for
yourself. Spending time in a quiet space where you can listen to the inner wisdom that
you have in abundance and to the whispers that your soul speaks to you through
your heart is a must to be in balance. Even if you only have ten minutes to do this, it
will make a world of difference. And you most likely will find that you will be, after time,
able to stretch the ten minutes into a longer period of time.
Continuously being caught up in what sometimes can be a craziness in life and never
pausing to quiet the mind and take deep breaths and let all the outside stuff go, will
eventually create problems that can show up in your health.
Try to find balance in all areas of your life - that is balancing in itself - and see if it makes
a difference. It is worth as what you will have is peacefulness and a sense of well-being.
All healing begins within. Balance is a good place to start.

"Acceptance, Allowing, and Answers" September 2011
We are at all times creating and re-creating in our lives. When we can understand
completely that we are the only ones who can create what we experience and accept
that everything that happens is ours, then we can allow for change if that is what we
want, for healing of emotions such as fear, unforgiveness, anger and anything that
keeps us from joy, happiness, and fulfilling our dreams.
When we can say to ourselves, 'Okay, I created this by having fearful thoughts," or
"I have this in my life now because I have been angry or judgmental of something or
someone else", etc., and then accepting that it is just another part of the learning
process we all experience, we can move on.
By accepting that it is here for a reason and that now we can let it go if we no longer
want it, we take a big step in the game of life.
By allowing it to be there and not being judgmental of ourselves for it's existence, we
take another giant step.
Each of us is a beautiful soul in a human existence and the way we accept and allow
the experiences that come into our lives is how those experiences will play out.
Every one of us has moments when we are hard on ourselves and get into the habit
of not accepting who we are, then find ourselves in the cycle of thinking we have
made mistakes or bad choices which leads to anger at ourselves as well at the
situation or persons involved.
Since we have choice in everything we do or say, then why do we not see who we
really are? If we would stand back and look at ourselves and see the true wonderful
beings we really are as Spirit sees us instead of seeing unhappiness, fear, anger and
even sometimes hopelessness, we would be able to get in the flow of just the
opposite. We would see hope knowing that all is just fine and that there really is
nothing to worry about. We would feel joy and happiness because we know that we
are safe and loved so everything must be okay. We would not have fear but instead
have complete trust and faith knowing that we have nothing in the past that has
anything to do with today. It is past and it is over. It now has no bearing on today.
We would let go of anger and unforgiveness in the knowing that they only create
unwanted 'problems' for us.
By accepting this and allowing the Universe to bring us all the beautiful things we are
meant to have, and being open to receiving the answers we want, many magical
things can come to you.
We put walls up out of fear thinking it will protect us yet in all actuality it blocks what
we want to come. If we resist change it only serves to bring that which we don't want
to us. But it is our choice to move on or remain where we are.
Being grateful for everything that comes into your life no matter what it is because it
truly is a gift even though outward appearances don't seem that way, sends out
messages of trust in the Universe and ourselves. You can change anything that does
not serve you at any time by letting go.
So when something occurs in your life, put positive energy into it with your thoughts
and actions. Process the moment without reacting. Just let it flow.
Accept. Allow. Receive the answers you want.

"Being in the Moment; Embracing the Now, Letting Go of the Past and
Future" October 2011
"Now is the time" is something we have often heard. What does that really mean?
So often these days we hear expressions like "Being in the Now". What does this mean
for you?
The Angels over the past five years have taught me so much and this is one thing that
I understand very well now.
I know that in many of the messages that I have channeled for this website in two and
one half years, they have addressed this and it is always basically this: Past, Present and
Future.
The Past is, as they say, just that - it is passed therefore no more and so does not
matter any longer. It is past.
They say, and I love this, that the Present is called the present because it is a present, it
is a gift.
The future is something that if we allow it to come in the right way, in Divine Timing, will
bring our thoughts, desires, wishes, and dreams to us when we ask from the heart. We
should always dream big dreams.
Where we get into a bind is when we say we want something and then try to
manipulate it or say just how it should come. I know that this can be hard to
understand.
Having a vision and seeing what it is we want is beautiful. Saying that you know exactly
how it should come and when put lots of restraints and blocks on it manifesting. The
amazing opportunities and fulfillment are there yet we cannot know just what they
actually are. I always add after a prayer or request the words, "If not this something
better." Then I have not put parameters and limitations on what I am asking. There
could be even better and more wonderful things that are waiting to come to me that I
have not even thought about or considered. The Universe always sees the whole
picture where we cannot be so clear. And after I say this I let it go. I don't dwell on it as
I have given the intention and I trust that it will come in just the right way and timing.
The Divine Plan is for all to come to us that we are asking. We actually cannot know
completely in our human consciousness what is there and that is what makes it all the
more fun and exciting. By looking at the future with the eyes of a child: in wonderment,
excitement and expectation in the knowing that whatever it is it will be fantastic, then
we do not put limitations on it.
Just watching a child in their excitement of something they know is coming is so
heartwarming. When we can find our inner child and through it see the world in joy and
anticipation of good so much can open up for us. The child does not have a fear that
something will not be good as that never enters their minds.
When we are in the 'now', in the present moment, all the rest will take care of itself. If
we can see each moment as a gift, a blessing no matter what it may appear to be on
the surface and say how grateful we are for this moment, we are allowing all else to just
be.
Looking at your life in the moment right now and seeing how blessed you truly are will
bring peace of mind to you. Letting go of what was or will be can bring great and
wonderful changes into your life. Step back and see all the blessings and gifts that you
have in your life.
There is a Chinese proverb that I think says it very simply: "A bird does not sing
because it has an answer. It sings because it has a song."
Enjoy your now moments and let the rest be.

"Peace Follows Forgiving" November 2011
We all have been there. We have all felt what we see as pain from something that has
happened in our lives and we feel a victim. We feel anger, hurt, and the pain seems very
real.
From this we feel emotions such as blame and unforgiveness. Much is said about forgiving
but it is one of the most important things we need to do.
You say, "But it is not easy to forgive what they have done or what has happened to
me."
It actually is much easier than it seems. Being able to forgive others and also yourself is
the only way the burden can be removed.
Unforgiveness can fester like a sore that becomes larger and larger. It can eat away on
your heart, your emotions and can, if left to grow, cause physical problems.
You do not have to say that what you feel the other did or said is alright. That is really
immaterial. You do it for yourself. Be willing to let that heavy burden be lifted from your
shoulders and feel freedom.
When in that space, allow the feelings to be there. Own them. Feel them. Then let them
go. Forgive everyone and everything.
St. Francis of Assisi said, "Where there is injury let me sow pardon."
Everything we feel has been injurious to us is actually of our own creation. No one can do
anything to you without your permission. So if you don't allow the injury to exist then it
will not be there.
If there is anyone or anything that you feel has hurt you in anyway, release them and
release those thoughts. Let it go. Get on with your beautiful life and put the past behind
you for nothing that has been matters anymore.
**(I looked back in the archives because I knew I had written about forgiveness before.
And I had - in September 2010. I am going to add it to this at the bottom. Angelic
guidance of course! They wanted it here with this post.)
The Angels are always willing to take what you don't want. Turn it over to them and let
them take it from you. Let it go. Peace will come when you do. Peace follows forgiving.

**"Forgiveness" (Please see note in above post) September 2010
(Reprinted
November 2011)
I love quotes. I have a whole list of them and add to it as I find new ones. There are so
many wonderful quotes from
so very many wonderful people. I love to share them and to talk or write about them.
The quote I would like to write about now comes from Alice in Wonderland. "I relieve
and release your hurt that you may be set free."
Oh how powerful is that one little sentence! Holding someone or something in
unforgiveness, no matter what it is you feel warrants that feeling, is the most
detrimental emotion we can have. It can bring health issues, emotional issues as well as
an unbalance in our lives. By being unforgiving we are only hurting ourselves.
By saying, "I relieve and release you so that we may be free" is how I would change the
quote. Releasing brings relief of carrying a burden that weighs so heavily on your
shoulders.
We all have felt unforgiveness at various times in our lives. That is just part of our
humanness. But how we deal with it is how our souls can grow. Judgment, blame and
unforgiveness can also bring feelings of guilt from being unforgiving.
Many great teachers have taught that forgiving is so very important. We often hold on
to incidents, circumstances and things that have occurred in the past for a very long
time. By forgiving doesn't necessarily mean that you condone the action or words that
brought you to feel this way. You are merely saying that you no longer want to carry it
around anymore.
The best way to let it go is to say, "I forgive..." and fill in a name or situation or even
yourself. Yes yourself. How many times have you felt you did something that was not
right and then kept holding it inside where it grew and grew? Let it all go. Let yourself be
'set free' as in the quote.
Everyone makes mistakes and that is all that it is - mistakes. Remember that everyone is
doing the best they can at all times. When you let the blame and judgment go and
instead put love into the situation, you will be set free.

I love quotes. I have a whole list of them and add to it as I find new ones. There are so
many wonderful quotes from
so very many wonderful people. I love to share them and to talk or write about them.
The quote I would like to write about now comes from Alice in Wonderland. "I relieve
and release your hurt that you may be set free."
Oh how powerful is that one little sentence! Holding someone or something in
unforgiveness, no matter what it is you feel warrants that feeling, is the most
detrimental emotion we can have. It can bring health issues, emotional issues as well as
an unbalance in our lives. By being unforgiving we are only hurting ourselves.
By saying, "I relieve and release you so that we may be free" is how I would change the
quote. Releasing brings relief of carrying a burden that weighs so heavily on your
shoulders.

"Letting Go of the Outcome" December 2011
It is so easy to become fixated on the outcome of any situation in which we are involved.
Does this ring true with you?
We are so used to deciding how the end result of something must be. We have been
trained to expect things to turn out just as we know they must turn out.
Because of this how often do we end up with disappointment because they did not turn
out exactly how we thought they should and would?
Disappointment after disappointment becomes a way of life and then we actually begin to
expect the disappointments!
But there really is no need for this to be a part of life at all.
How? By letting go of the how, the what and the why and trusting that all will be perfect in
all ways. When trust is there and completely there we will not be disappointed. Instead we
can anticipate that wonderful things will be the end result.
I know I used to do this all the time. My perfectionist Virgo insisted that all be precisely as I
knew it should be. And of course I set myself up for many disappointments. I know now
and have learned well that focusing on the future and how all should be, actually put so
many limitations on what could come to me. All does not have to perfect. I know that so
well now. As a result I allow the Universe to deliver just what I need at just the right time.
Another thing we all do is ask, pray or request something and then say how and when we
want it to arrive. That only puts it in a box with a tightly sealed lid.
Yes it will come to us but often not in the way we had thought it would or should anyway.
Instead of thinking we know what is the best result or way, it works so much better if we
just put it out there and then step aside and let it go. Let the Universe have free rein to
deliver and it will.
Besides there is often something wonderful and magical that we have no idea exists for us.
When we don't get in the way we let it flow with ease. Spirit does work magic and wants to
bring the best there is to us and many times there are beautiful surprises in what we
receive.
Our minds cannot know everything, although sometimes we 'think' we do know. Spirit
does know and wants us to have all the abundance, health, joy and all of our dreams to be
fulfilled.
So step aside and have fun. Let your Angels bring surprises and gifts that you would never
expect. Let the child in you be open to wondrous anticipation in your world. Have fun,
play and dream and open your arms up to receive! Let go of trying to control and dictate
the outcome. You will find that everything will be beyond any expectation you could
imagine.

Note: I thank Archangel Michael. I was having trouble with a topic for this post and so
asked him and this is what I got. I smile at the irony of the title! Thank you Michael for
putting the 'idea' in my head. You make things so easy for me. (Hint! Call on your Angels!)

~A Note from Linayah~
With my schedule and with a full plate (sometimes I say it is a platter) I have had to
let go of a few things that I love to do. One of them is writing these articles. I have
been finding that it has become difficult to write them each month because of the
time needed so I am taking a sabbatical for a while. I do hope I will be able to begin
writing posts again at some point as I do love to write.
All my articles are posted on this page and the archived page so if you would like to
read any of them I am happy to share them with you. I thank you for
understanding.

ANGELIC PATH TO HEALING
April 2012
"Writing a Book with the Angels. How it Began. Where it is Going and When will it be Here?"
This is not one of my usual articles or posts. I have been taking a break for a few months from writing anything
here because my time has been focused on my book, my dear and special clients, and my new adventure that
is coming up with children, among other things.
So I did not expect to be writing here at this time. As it goes when working with Spirit, things change and often
quite rapidly.
They want me to talk about my book and to give a view to those that read this just what this book is and what
it is about. They are asking me to give, what I guess is an overview of it all. So that is what I will do.
One year ago, they approached me with the concept of a book they wanted me to channel. I was very
delighted and thought it would be the one they had given me to work on about three years ago but had never
come to be. I thought, "Finally the book is going to come to life."
Well, I was mistaken with that as this is an entirely new concept. I do think the first one was shown to me to
prepare for this, the 'real' one. I am grateful to the Angels for giving it to me this way for it gave me a sort of
'heads up' and awareness that a channeled book would be coming. And one never knows what can happen.
The first one may still come some day.
When they began to tell me about it one year ago, I was told that this was 'long overdue' and needed to be
'out there' as soon as possible. I kept hearing the ASAP and 'needs to be done' phrases over and over. Of
course in our linear time it is much different than it is with them as they have no time or space. I have learned to
deal with that aspect and let it flow in just the right and Divine timing. And I understand when my friends and
those who know of the book keep asking when it will be available. They feel the excitement with it too.
I began to channel the book immediately and the words and the love that flowed, is flowing, through my hands
was amazing. I cherished, and still do, every moment that I sat/sit down in front of my computer (even when it
has been at 2 AM) and channel the words of the Angels.
I was shown exactly what the book would look like, the size and even the font. I knew it was going to be very
special and very beautiful.
The book is simply about Angels, Guardian Angels, by Angels.
Archangel Ariel at one point gave me information on the book and said that there would be products such as
cards, calendars, etc., to go with the book. I thought, "How fun!"
Archangel Metatron told me that everyone who holds the book will have an 'instant heart connection'. He told
me it will reach 'all corners of the world.'
Another Angel guide of mine said that 'being in the same room with the book will bring transformation."
As I kept getting these messages and the feeling I had with the book I knew that it was going to be something
very special and I felt and still do, honored and humbled to be the one to do this for them.
A few months into this Metatron revealed what I needed to know about my illustrator. I already knew there
would be one as I had been shown full page illustrations in the book.
He told me that the one who would do the illustrations must be one who would 'step aside and not try to create
the art but to channel it instead". He said that the artist must channel the vibration of the art just as I was doing
with the vibration in the words.
With that I put it out for an artist. I mentioned it in my monthly newsletter. And the only response I received
was of course from the artist that was to be my illustrator. This was how it was supposed to be.
My heart jumped with joy when I got an email from Lisa Azzano. She is incredible and her main form of art is
sculptures. Her Angel sculptures are beautiful. I look forward to the day I will see some in person.
Since then we have had so much fun, so much enjoyment working on the book. We have grown into a very
close and loving relationship. We know of course, that this is an agreement that she and I have with the Angels
to do this book.
I am thrilled to say that we are very near to concluding our part of creating the book.
Four of my Archangel guides told me very recently that I am to put one hundred percent of my energy into
the book and to bringing it to the world. So I am doing that. Of course I am also devoting time to my clients
and to other projects I have too. With me it is never only 100% - I usually can find another 50% to put my
energy into.
What is now in the working is that I have put the intention out for the person who will do the book proposal
and getting it to the right publisher will come. This person will come just as Lisa did - through guidance and
because they are in the same vibration with us and with the book and they are the one/s who are to do it. I
know I will be meeting this person or persons very soon.
This will also be the same with endorsements. They want at least one well-known published author to endorse
the book. Again, they assure me the right one or ones will come to me to endorse the book. I trust this and will
let it happen. Allowing the Angels to do their work without getting in the way is all I need to do now.
I asked why they wanted me to write this here at this time and the answer I got was, "Because it is the time to
do it. It is time to let the world know that the book will be coming so they may purchase it if they choose when
it does come out."
I will be giving updates on my "News" page on this website as well as in my monthly newsletter. If you would
like to receive the newsletter there is a button near the top of the page to do so.

Please Note:
Here I am now writing another "Note" to my readers. I debated whether I should leave the
"A Note from Linayah" that is above all my articles (below this new post) on here or not but I
decided I would as I do not expect to be writing here again for a while. But one never knows.
I did not expect to write the one I just did. It is not actually an article but is more like a Blog I
guess. The Angels asked me to write about my upcoming book here and I always follow their
guidance and requests. So dear friends here is an account of my new book.
