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.

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!

The Words Behind the Words
Aloha,
Here is an article I wrote a few years ago. It is one of my most requested articles, and I thought you might enjoy it!
When my mother was a young girl, she wanted to be a poet. Her teacher made fun of her poetry, and my mom believed her. Based on her teacher's opinion, my mother gave up her dream. Each time I got my report card, my mother would be furious that I had once again flunked English. One day, she gave me a thesaurus and I began to explore the meanings of words. Sometime later, I was writing a story about a village and found the word "quaint." I can still remember the big red circle the teacher put around that word with her comment - "great word!"
I don't think I ever told my mother I loved words, and she died before I began writing. Today I am a wordsmith - I love words and have found great freedom through my writing. I achieved that freedom by giving myself permission to change my definitions of words like responsibility and fault, love and intimacy (I now think of it as 'into me see"), and by breaking all the unspoken agreements I had with my parents, my friends, and society as a whole.

Angel blessings
Aloha,
Long before I had any conscious interest in working with angels, people kept giving me angel figurines. I had angels lurking in every corner of my house before I finally woke up and started actively working with them. Thank goodness angels have a lot of patience. Now I look back and laugh.
Since I began to consciously work with angels, my life has changed in so many ways, all of them elegantly gracious, easy, gentle, loving, and kind. Far different than the results I had in my life when I was doing it my way!

The angel diet
Aloha,
When I talk to people, the two biggest concerns seem to be health and/or money. Believe it or not, this 21-day mental angel diet will address both issues. The more we stay connected and grounded within the angelic realms, the more magical and blissful our life can become. If you take these steps every day for the next 21 days, your life will change in ways you couldn't even imagine.
Behavioral specialists say it takes 21 days to create a new habit. So dedicate yourself to these simple steps and see what happens. Open your heart and your minds to the angelic realms and allow them to help you change your life. Whether you want to lose some weight, overcome a health challenge, feel more loved or have enough money to pay your bills, this 21-day mental diet will work.

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.
