Maureen

Here’s my thanksgiving and love back to you: THANKS
God Bless you!

thank you for these sweet thoughts regarding fear vs. love. Truly the sirens of the world seem to go
off continuously. In this world, caution is always the word of the day, as if we are in imminent danger
at every moment. As you say, even death is a blessing – if we just wouldn’t fear it so. Death
is just a way of getting back to where fear can no longer be imagined, let alone felt. What kind of far
fetched story is it that proves the validity of fear? fears are like shadows. Are we afraid of our
own shadows? yes, most of the time. God does love for us to speak with Her. Prayer is speaking with God and truly She will always reassure us that fear is nothing to fear!

My favorite baseball movie is “angels of Outfield.” It showe angels probably like many things we like, such as baseball, especially a kids team. My favorite line was the little boy saying “It can Happen. Who knows? Maybe God lilkes baseball, too.

When my Common Law husband died two years ago, I went from 165 lbs. to 101. For two months I sat on my couch scared, wondering what do I do now? We were together for 24 years, and always took care of each other. We were to be married in June and he past in April, leaving me alone and penniless. Nevada does not recognize Common Law. So I didn’t get his SSI, and wasn’t on his Insurance Policy. Everything he had went to his daughter. I was very angry for a long time. I still feel the anger welling up, even now as I write this to you. I am at a size zero waist because I really forgot to eat. You might say “How does one forget to eat”? I did. I still do at times. I talk to my Father even in the shower, as he made everything I have so I’m not embarresed. I still can’t move on. I still compare others to him. I don’t know what to do. I feel I have been abandonded again.
Again I ask:”What now”?

Aloha Catherine,
I am sorry for your loss. There have been times in my life when I was furious about what was happening in my life and as soon as I opened my heart up to love and asked for guidance magic occurred (when I followed the suggestions.)
I will put you in my prayers and know you are surrounded by love and that you are enfolded in the arms of the angels.
With love and aloha,
Susan

What do those of us do about the deeply ingrained fears of demons and evil from childhood? My Baptist background combined with horror movies and chilling tales all emphasized fear of punishment or just plain fear. Even now as an adult I am fearful of “Hell” and what it may contain. Or not. I’m an educated philosophy graduate who can’t shake the constant fear of evil, especially having seen so much of it in real life, media and stories. How can I realize that good is more powerful than evil? It’s an almost primal fear.

Fear what an awful thing,I have been blighted by this nearly all my life,scared to do the most mundane daily activities,when i was young it took me all my time to walk out of the door to face the world but i always eventually did,my heart would race so much i was sure it would pound straight outta my chest,the sweat would poor out of me but i still somehow i managed to go out.This carried on for years as time went by it got easier but still has never fully gone.You see i put on a brave face,i masked these tortureous feeings so well people thought and still think i am one of the most confident people in the world,I became the loud funny one or at times angry or insular, people either laughed at me or with me so,when the loud,funny or at times not so nice girl/boy comes across your path just think,maybe just maybe all is not as it seems for there is always a reason.I was always so sensitive and stil am,I picked up a D Virtue book one day titled Earth Angels,finally it all made sense,I thank the angels for guideing me to that wonderful book which answered so many questions,for once i belonged,i fitted in,i found a peace in my heart.THANKYOU.

Thank you for your blog. I’ve always been fear-prone–I could give you a list, but who has that kind of time?! Recently, noticing how much anger, hatred and violence seems to have grown in our country and in the world, I reflected on what I might be contributing to it and how I might STOP that! I realized that my angers, my judgments, and definitely my fears added to the negativity of the world. Every morning now I turn over my angers and fears to God. Of course, I try to take them back again during the day, so this is an ongoing process! I pray to replace them with love, compassion, and faith that the world and everything in it is exactly as it’s supposed to be.

After reading your fear steps I reached out and expressed myself to someone about my feelings and we became more connected and shared intimacy which is what I am fearing. I did as one of your steps said and took the action. It was miraculous. I am grateful!

thanks for the advice. facing a big fear today. Breast cancer results. I’ll put on my big gurl panties and deal with it head on!! thanks again

Aloha everyone,
Usually I get notified when someone posts a comment but for some reason I wasn’t. Thanks for sharing your fears and your struggle with fear. I will post a lot more about releasing fear this week. The short answer is to focus on feeling loved and connecting to your divinity.
So I am sending you all lots of peace, ease and love and stay tuned for more concrete how to overcome fear posts!
And RahRah I am sending you lots of love and strength. St. Agatha is an incredible help with breast dis-ease of any kind. Her story is quite amazing. I’ll post it on the blog.
Thanks again for all your comments!! Helps me know what matters to you and will help the most.
With love and aloha,
Susan

I like #7. I’m going to try it on for size the next time I’m fearful of something.
Hugs and aloha,

Hi Susan,I now realize that everything has a purpose and a place in time. I’ve always received the BeliefNet mailings, but seldom do I have time to read its entirety. This morning, I needed a little something extra to begin my day because of anxieties I’ve experienced at work and your article on 7 ways to overcome fear was “it”! Thanks for giving me my “food for thought” of the day Susan.

Aloha J. George,
I am glad my words helped and thanks for letting me know. It is always nice to hear from a reader.
Sending you lots of love,
Susan
