Ten Things Every Dad Should Tell His Son
Recently one of my students was in the midst of many major life changes. Any one of them would have been stressful, but experiencing all of them at the same time was very overwhelming. I made numerous suggestions about making gratitude lists, having a pack of index cards with her favorite quotes handy so she could read them to help her get centered and having a list of nurturing things some place she could easily read it and then make sure she did one.
They were all helpful ideas yet she was still overwhelmed. Then I remembered what I used to do when I first began my spiritual journey and still do frequently: ask for help and then be fully willing accept it. When I was really new to all this stuff I had a lot of doubt and my life was, to say the least, a mess. One of my mentors suggested I ask for help and then take the celestial being with me where ever I went.
It sounded crazy, but I was willing to try anything. So, I would ask for help and then envision the angel or spirit guide of the day sitting next to me in the car. When I went for a job interview I literally assigned a seat to my spiritual helper. I would talk to them a lot and magic really occurred when I took the time to really listen!
Angels, saints, ascended masters, gods and goddesses are all more than willing to help. Helping is their nature, as is love. Open your heart and your mind to their love, wisdom and strength. It is amazing what happens when we ask for help and then are willingly to accept it.
Try it. I am sure you will enjoy the results. I send out messages with spirit guides every other day to my angel list. It never fails that whoever shows up in my inbox is the very being I most need to work with that day. They are free of charge if you’d like to sign up.
With love and aloha,
Susan

About Pele
Pele is the Hawaiian goddess of the volcano as well as the goddess of transformation, passion, vitality and creation. Pele is a powerful force on the Hawaiian islands. Shortly after I moved to Hawaii, a friend suggested I have my property blessed. I asked Pele if I could live and work on her land. She graciously agreed, so I always take time to thank her and ask for her blessing in my endeavors.-

Susan, I so needed this message today. For the past 3 days I have been crying and depressed. You see, I lost my son 3 years ago, and quite frankly some days are better than others. Well, my friend came by to see me and my spouse Sunday because she loves us. To make a long story short, we were arguing about money, or the lack of money. My friend came by and gave us money. But, you know what, we are still not right. Will we ever be right again? I don’t know. Only time will tell. Hope you get a lot of traffic, I am submitting this post to Entreview.

Time will heal all wounds. The loss of a child is difficult and believe it or not can become an incredible gift once you get beyond the grief.
Ask for help, ask to feel the love of the universe and then let it in. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. As the saying goes, this too shall pass.
I am glad this message showed up at just the right time.
With love and aloha,
Susan
