Aloha,
I was quite amazed when I was doing research about the top ten fears. They were: long words (that being first really amazed me), flying, clowns, heights, death, being alone, the dark, public speaking, commitment and intimacy. Of course, no matter what the fear, imagining an angel holding your hand and walking you through it is the best way I know to overcome any and all fears.
But when fear has just coming roaring up to the surface and grabbed you by the throat remembering that angels even exist is often the challenge. I would love to hear how you overcome fear in your own life. I'll share some of my favorite ways of reconnecting with inner peace, love and the remembrance that I am always surrounded by love and am safe no matter what is happening.

Acts of compassion: Amma the hugging saint
Aloha,
This week two of my themes have been compassion and acts of kindness. 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.
In her own words, " As a child, I always wanted to know the cause of misery of mankind and thought that if sorrow is a truth, then there must be a cause and a way out.
" I realize my purpose is to console - to personally wipe
away tears through selfless love, compassion, and service."
Here is a beautiful photo gallery with some of her quotes.

Wordless Wednesday: Joy
Aloha,
This week's theme for me has been love, joy, compassion, prayer and meditation. Today I will share images of people in my groups that share those feelings. Allow yourself to feel the joy and love radiating from these pictures.
I hope you enjoy them and allow the images to touch your heart and your mind.

The power of prayer and angels
Aloha,
A friend of mine sent me a chain e-mail that said if you passed it along, your wish would come true. It contained a beautiful prayer that got me thinking about angels and the power of prayer. When I look at the world today, what I see is a hunger, a hunger that can only be filled with a deep and profound connection to our spirit.
Last night, I had an amazing dream in which I was talking to some people about the power of grace. Grace wasn't something I had thought a whole lot about, but after the dream, I felt very loved and curious. Then, today, my friend sent me this prayer.

Angel love: Archangel Chamuel
Aloha,
I thought I'd share one of my favorite Archangels with you.
Excerpt from my book The Encyclopedia of Angels, Spirit Guides and Ascended Masters:
I thought I'd share one of my favorite Archangels with you.
Excerpt from my book The Encyclopedia of Angels, Spirit Guides and Ascended Masters:
Chamuel
Chamuel's name means "He who seeks God." He is often described as "pure love in a winged form." He encourages open-mindedness and reminds us that we must love ourselves first if we have any hope of bring able to love others. Chamuel will help you release judgmental attitudes, even if you are unaware of them. He will help you use your shortcomings as an opportunity to connect with your spirit, rather than carry them as a burden. He is one of two angels who comforted Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane

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.

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.
