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.

Charter for compassion: angels in action
Aloha,
Yesterday I challenged you to do several random acts of kindness and then today I received a message about an organization called Charter for Compassion.
This is their mission:
Yesterday I challenged you to do several random acts of kindness and then today I received a message about an organization called Charter for Compassion.
This is their mission:
A call to bring the world together...
The principle of compassion lies at the heart of all religious, ethical and spiritual traditions, calling us always to treat all others as we wish to be treated ourselves. Compassion impels us to work tirelessly to alleviate the suffering of our fellow creatures, to dethrone ourselves from the centre of our world and put another there, and to honor the inviolable sanctity of every single human being, treating everybody, without exception, with absolute justice, equity and respect.
But how can this affect your life if you are unemployed, underemployed, having health challenges or just simply afraid? Read on.....

Men who stare at goats
Aloha,
What does the movie, "Men Who Stare at Goats" have to do with working with angels? Let me tell you a story and then you'll see the connection.
I've been working with angels for quite a while. Often people ask me how to connect with angels and my answer is, you are always connected. The problem often lies in our ability to hear their guidance and follow their suggestions.
A while ago I had a dream about putting an addition on my house. I called the former owner, got the name of the draftsman that drew up the original plans, and called him up. The draftsman came over and basically told me I couldn't do what I wanted.

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.

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.

Angel songs and nightmares

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.
