Twilight Barbie, Angel Valley sweat lodge - some thoughts

Aloha,

Come to the edge, he said.
They said: We are afraid.
Come to the edge, he said.
They came.
He pushed them,
And they flew .....

Guillaume Apollinaire

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

Aloha,

Today is the day to celebrate all saints, known and unknown. I wasn't raised Catholic so I knew very little about saints until I wrote my book Encyclopedia of Angels, Spirit Guides and Ascended Masters. 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.

A money box, the economy and angels

Aloha,

Yesterday I wrote a post about creating an Angel Box. Today I am going to show you how to change your beliefs and your experience with money, the economy, and the source of your income.

I love making things. I could easily get lost in a craft store for hours. A friend of mine showed me how to paint furniture, and I created all sorts of beautiful altars and meditation benches. I had a wire basket I used to put all my bills in. It was purple and held lots of bills, but my cat used to wake me up every morning by noisily pawing through all the papers. So I decided to put them in a box instead. At the time, I was working on changing my beliefs about money, and an idea was born.

Making an angel box

Aloha,

A while back I posted about my angel box and, afterward, I received several emails asking me how to make one. I've been thinking about making one and taking pictures, but I know the likelihood of that happening any time soon is probably nil and zip. Over the years, I have found that actually doing something is far better than thinking about doing it, so here are the step-by-step directions for making an angel box.

You can make it very simple or very elaborate, but the most important thing you can do, if you really want to change your life, is to make it and use it!

Living from your heart

Our minds are a magnificent tool. They were just never meant to be in control. When our spirit is in control, we begin to experience a reality that is free of fear and limitation.

How could God let this happen?

When a child dies or someone is murdered they ask why God let it happen. Personally, I don't believe God causes suffering. God only creates perfection, love, peace and joy.
