"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.
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

"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.

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.

"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.
