Aloha,
As the media keeps labeling today as Black Friday I certainly don't have images of happy shoppers and retailers. For me it's a time to avoid the malls and enjoying relaxing at home. I am not fond of trying to find parking or jostling with crowds.
When I had my stained glass studio I would spend months gearing up for the holiday season, making lots of small panels and terrariums and stained glass angels. I am glad I am no longer in the retail business, but oddly enough I am still in the angel business.

Happy Thanksgiving
Aloha everyone,
I am about to put the finishing touches on my Thanksgiving dinner. When I sit down to eat I will give thanks for all my blessings, the angels in my life and each of you. Even though we have never met I will imagine us all enjoying this meal, talking, laughing and sharing love.
May this be the year we truly create peace on earth and goodwill toward all.
With love and aloha,
Susan

Wordless Wednesday: Thanksgiving
Aloha,
For those of you in the United States Happy Thanksgiving.
And may all of you, everywhere be blessed by angel kisses, love, peace and joy. Here are some photos of a few of things in my life I am grateful for. It would take up many, many galleries to show them all. Take a few minutes to meditate on all the things you are grateful for.

Susan

Thanksgiving 2009: history and a prayer
Aloha,
Here in the United States we are getting ready to celebrate Thanksgiving. It is usually a time for families to gather and give thanks. As I began to collect ingredients for the holiday meals I pulled out my mom's cookbook. It is all written by hand and this year i noticed little notes she'd written about where, when and how she got the recipes. She died in a car accident over 25 years ago and thanks to those notes I can feel her beside me while I am cooking.
As you might gather by now I love doing research and came up with some interesting facts about Thanksgiving.

Be a Thanksgiving angel
Aloha,
Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. I think gratitude is a wonderful spiritual practice and think dedicated a whole day to it is just awesome. I have celebrated the holiday in many different ways. One year I served meals to homeless people, another year I went hang gliding, I have spent the day alone in silence and surrounded by friends and family. When I lived in San Diego
I took my left overs to the beach and feed a bunch of people who lived there.
I think this holiday is a wonderful time to be grateful for what we do have and to share our love with random acts of kindness.I still remember the first time someone told me I was the answer to their prayers. It sure felt good.

Fearless Fridays: what's your greatest fear?

The divine inner child
When I first moved to Hawaii I held classes on healing the inner child. Interestingly enough 20 years later when I was asked to speak at a The Center for Spiritual Living in Waikoloa I decided to speak about the divine inner child. Funny how things come full circle.

Acts of compassion: Amma the hugging saint
Recently I was introduced to Amma the hugging saint. I was deeply moved by the love she shows. She will spend up to 22 hours a day hugging and blessing people, an amazing act in and of itself.

Ordinary angels: random acts of kindness
Random acts of kindness make us feel better, help another person, even if we remain anonymous and definitely make the world a better place. I challenge you to do two good deeds this week.

Angels only have one answer: love
Aloha,Years ago I realized that no matter what the question love is always the answer and no matter what sort of problem we are having if we respond with love the results are far superior. Angels only have one response...

Fearless Fridays: fear of flying
I had no idea they had all sorts of names for fear of flying including aerophobia, aviatophobia, aviophobia or pteromerhanophobia. Oddly enough I overcame my fear by being in a commercial plane that almost crashed.

Miracles and angel biscuits
In Jewish tradition the word we translate “miracle” is nes. A nes is a sign, like a flag, waiving above a building or a marker, drawing your attention to something special. I thought about the idea of miracles as markers and as I looked at my life I saw a lot of miracles.

Twilight Barbie, Angel Valley sweat lodge - some thoughts
My mind is swimming with thoughts today, instead of a gentle trickle it feel more like a flood driven raging river and I have learned over the years that's a good thing.

All Saints Day
I found the saints absolutely fascinating. I used to mistakenly think saints were about suffering and martyrdom when in fact they were amazing men and women who had managed to profoundly connect to the divine.

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.
