An angel-filled new day

Aloha,

I love watching the day as it slowly arrives. The sky begins to brighten and the birds start singing, joyfully greeting a new day. I am in Latvia and my internal clock is still on Hawaii time, so I woke up long before the sun.

Last night I had the opportunity to go to a local Reiki circle. Reiki is a form of healing that originated in Japan. The homes here remind me of the old farm houses in Vermont. The trees are full of apples, and there are so many flowers everywhere. Many of the older homes use wood for heat, so there are huge wood piles stacked neatly under the eves. Latvia reminds me of simpler times when people were more connected to the earth.

Some images from Latvia

Aloha,

I am currently in Latvia teaching classes. This is the first time I have been here and what a magical country. Just thought I'd share some images with you. I am staying in the middle of a pine forest and the smells are just wonderful!

With love and aloha,
Susan

Fearless Fridays: A Course in Miracles

Aloha,

A Course in Miracles by Dr. Helen Schucman is a beautifully written course of self-study designed to help you deepen your connection with your divinity. It has a workbook that takes a year to complete. Actually doing the exercises will really change your perspective and allow you to let go of your fear. Here are some quotes from A Course in Miracles about fear that I find most helpful. Over and over again, the course reminds us that fear is simply the lack of love.

"Only the mind can create fear."

"Perfect love casts out fear. If fear exists, then there is not perfect love."  Perfect love refers to the unconditional love that is our true divine nature.

You're never alone

Aloha,

angel statue.JPGI am currently in Chicago on my way to Latvia. I slept and slept and slept when I got here. I had some wonderful dreams about feeling loved and angels. I was reminded once again that we aren't alone.

Katy recently posted a comment about a nurse that helped her family during a very serious car accident. I am sure the nurse was an angel. I can't tell you how many times I hear stories like this and how many times angels have showed up in my life.

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.
