Hi,
Just popping in to say hello to you all :hithere, to have bowl of cafe' au lait (topped with steam-whipped milk) and italian white bread with PP's creamy havarti. Ahhh... foooooood and company for my soul.

Aqua-Debbie, I checked your photos, and what a wonderful little town at the ocean, a colorful town, suited for colorful people like you. I am sure you both will really enjoy living there. It looked so beautiful with all the houses at the edge of the ocean.


Love,
Maria

Hello Everyone,

I was reading your stories of the Secret and wanted to share some news.

Last night I was listening to a monthly telephone talk given by Michael Beckwith of Agape & the Secret. At the end we're able to ask questions.
People from around the world listen and participate.

Reverend Michael had exciting news that Agape will soon begin an Agape television station and will air the Sunday services, plus much more.

Also, he has a new book coming out on 11/11!!!!!

As Reverend Michael always says "We are spiritual beings on a human adventure".

Blessings,
LilyJune

Hello all you darlins, :hithere

Just popping in to say a quick howdy...I will have to get caught up another day I think...as always a bit disorganized and behind...but happy! :mrgreen:

PP I believe I missed your Birthday too last year. Isn't it October 30th?... Please don't feel at all the least bit..not even a tiny weany bit bad. :D To tell you the truth I've forgotten it myself before... :roll: :D

I am writing our "Memaws" special day into my BD calandar and will join you this year for an extra special New Years Birthday bash for our Memawlaura! We love you Laura! :love

Love the pics that you and Maria and Aqua deb have provided. Aqua deb, your new home looks lovely...a great place I think for you and Rob that i suspect will probably spur on your artist talent. :wink: It looks like art in its' many forms is truly appreciated in that wonderful area of the World.

Now don't hold me to this, but the next time we go to the local beach, I will try to take some pictures so you all can get a feel for life in these parts where george and I live. (It all hinges of course on my ability to figure out photobucket and posting "photies"of course...)

Heather, I dearly loved camping! Glad you had a great time minus the horseflies anyway! :shock: (They can be brutal ,those giant carnivours beasts! :shaking: )! I remember sitting around that fire at night when we were camping. It was so peaceful and relaxing... Oh and the stick roasted marshmellows! aaaahhhh!!! ... it just doesn't get better than that! (unless the wind happens to follow you around and always blow the smoke in your face... :? :lol: )

Maria, I am so excited and happy for you! :cheers: Affordable airplane tickets have been provided! Thank you God! :happy You are a special lady who has added so much our growing family of lightorkers! :love
Each of you are so special and so very much loved! XXXXXXX


A big Hello again LilyJune! :D Thank you for letting us know about the new Agape television Station and the soon to be aired service. I hope it helps many people as they seek their own path and God. :D

Thinking of you Gypsie and hoping and praying you fall in love with your new home, sweetie... It is the people around you that truly make a home a home...and you lady are surrounded by love with that family of yours... :kiss:

Lilly, you are such an inspiration to me as I look within and struggle to let go of some of my "old worn out ways of being" or maybe find corage here to step out and be me with some (hopefully) talents...Thanks for sharing openly with us. It helps! :kiss:

You too Kim! What a lovely post you beautiful lady! It has been wonderful having you with us again as you have been able to join us during the less hectic summer! Not sure I could handle he vinegar solution of Nanny Hemlocks (love that name! 8) ) but I will remember to gargle more frequently with the salt the next time I am feeling "throat puny." Did I just read you have been on a trip? I hope it was a pleasant one!

Okay I said this was short and it grew a little huh...but believe it or not I still have so much more I would like to say...(sore fingers... :lol: ) I love you all so much...Thanks for the love you all share so abundantly!

{{{{Big Hugs}}}}
XXXXSandy :kiss:

Oh just a note...I got brave yesterday and made it to the motor vehicle licensing agency yesterday to try to get myAustralia drivers license. Was real close to getting it too..but then the agent saw that my TN state license did not show I had been driving more than three years...which I have of course have, but rules are rules...so I need to get a paper from State authorities in the U.S indicating that I am an experienced if not shakey :shaking: driver. Oh that reminds me, Hi Mike! Nice seeing you again! :lol:

Hi Sandy,
Enjoyed your post very much and hope you get your license soon. I'm making some headway with the processing of baggage... :roll: It doesn't have to be tough but some of it's like chewing gum stuck in your hair. I'm willing to let go.......need the space for loving thoughts and a new soft, gentle energy can guide my every action and thought. I spent tonight with my Mum and had a really good talk about how our thoughts shape the future. Feel so much better....thanks for being here everyone.
Love lilly xxxx :D

Hi All

Just a quick pop in as the packing gets underway. Sydney is buzzing with Pilgrams, tomorrow they will walk across the Harbour Bridge to the place of the final celebrations. These young people in their thousands are uplifting, joyus and just so NICE!!!

My friend who lives at the Rocks held her phone out of the front door and thousands were singinh 'Dancing in the Street' Of course some do not approve but I think it is wonderous to have half a million young people in our city celebrating Christ. We have all religions marching together it is very special to see these young men and women from many different faiths just celebrating life. I wondered what George thinks of it all? :cheers:

Lily you are sounding better my sweet are you going this Monday to meditation, I will come 100%, I only need to loose 7 kilos before you meet me though :geek:

Sandy you must come up for a night and the three of us can have a good girl evening :queen: :queen: :sunny:

The Unit is taking shape and I know it will be a very special place to live, it is so much bigger and cleaner after the painting was finished...

Much love and I put a thresd on healing for Petras Phil, poor soul is in pain...

Love you all my lovlies

Heather whats a horsefly?

Hi Gypsie,
You are funny.....7 kilos.... Great news that your unit is getting prepared and ready for you all to move in. Beach babe....
I need to lose a fair bit of weight but I'm happy and don't care that much about you seeing me....personality wins out over anything in my opinion.
I think some people look better with a little padding, in the right places though. Walking on the sand will get that weight off you...
It's lovely all the pilgrims being here....The Pope seems very loving.
Godbless us all.
Love lilly xx :D

Hi ladies,

I"m trying to catch up again....oh me oh my,,,

Gypsie, I'm happy to hear you're getting closer to your 'beach' house,,
(I know you're not 'right on the beach',,,and it's a 'unit'???),,,,but we can think of it as a beach house if that's ok with you...

The Pilgrim walk sounds exciting.....think of all that joy they're sending out into the universe,,,,good on them,,,,and you mentioned the Pope too?

is it an annual thing,,,or just something special going on????

I hope Heather doesn't mind me answering your question....

Horseflies,,,,,HUGE flies that bite....and they hang around horses alot,,,

I think they're actually called 'deer' flies,,,,but whatever,,,they're meanies,,,,,twice or more the size of regular flies and they do bite,,,actually they take chunks....and for some reason they really like you when you're wet....like just coming out of the lake or a pool...

Trying to read everyones posts,,,,,I can never do it justice the way some of you can....Bless your hearts for all the care and consideration you take for all of us....

Kim,,,,INK STAINS??? I tried everything,,,and finally resorted to bleach, it was the only thing that worked....and I don't like to use it because we're on a septic tank,,,,,but once in a blue moon won't hurt it...

Blue Moon,,,,we have one coming soon......

Oh here's some news ..... ready for this???? it came by email to me about the gathering of one in yellowstone....
Don Alejandro Perez Oxlaj, whose Mayan name is Wakatel Utiw, Wandering Wolf, is the 13th generation in a lineage of Mayan Medicine People.
Don Alejandro spoke to the group of 444 people. He stated that 2012 is not the end of the Mayan calendar. There had been 20 more calendars but they were lost, stolen or destroyed. Everyone there gasped .... "2012 is not the end of the calendar?" No... but no one ever asked us so we could tell them.
that should stir a few people up,,, :lol: :lol: :lol:

I had to fess up to Memaw,,,and let her know that I mentioned on here that we all missed her birthday.......I asked her when her last birthday party was,,,,,well, when you're competing with New Years eve,,,I guess it is hard,,,,but I told her to start having her own parties....

yes sandy,,,that date is right,,,all my growing up years,,,it was always a Hallowe'en party,,,then it seemed that after we built our home that my birthday never got celebrated like it used to,,,,a few years of that was enough,,,so I started having my own birthday parties,,,,it started out with just having some ladies over for a luncheon,,,,and ended up within a couple of years being a party for everyone else.....last year I didn't have one at all......think I'll go back to planning one again and go back the the ladies luncheons.....although this year it's a Thursday,,,and with everyone working,,,I'll have to settle for a Sat lunch....it seems nowadays, nobody (that I know around here anyway) celebrates their birthdays on their birthdays.......call me ole fashioned.....but the Day, is THE DAY,,,,not the weekend before or after...

ah, well,,,,Hubby just emailed me,,,,so I'll give him a phone call back..

love to everyone,,,

Hi friends,

LilyJune, Nice to see you in here. This tread is part of a huge international coffeehouse called the Angels Board. Bing reminded me that the whole forum is like a big international café, open 24/7. Well, in here, in this small department of this huge café, we talk lightly about anything. Well sometimes not so lightly. ...just so you know. Not even the sky sets limits...

I love that saying too. :D

I agree!!! Lilly, you wonderful and generous woman. I too, learn from you. There is a lot of healing going on inside me as well. My spirit teacher must be inspired by Freud, (not kidding, they lived in the same era). He is bringing me back in time and having me confronting memories from the past that still hurt. Suddenly I am ten years old again and with a broken heart, or he is having me confronting mean people I have issues with. Fortunately for me, he is a very gentle and loving spirit, always making sure I am comforted with love and Go(o)d feelings before I leave my inner garden.

Sandy, thank you for your kind words. I am happy if I can contribute just a little to the wonderful atmosphere of this board. It is always a pleasure to pop in and read what people have on their mind. Most of the posts here are made of love and light, and they help me grow. I will always be grateful for what all the courageous people here have shared with me, newbies as well as oldies. I would never have been so prepared to meet with my guides, without anyone of you.

Sandy, I wish you good luck with your driver license. I know from experience how frustrating it can be to not have a valid license. First time I was testing for my American driver license, the officer asked me to make a “three point turn”, which I had never heard of (probably because they are illegal in Sweden)… so I failed, despite having had a license for 20 years. It was so frustrating… every time I needed to go somewhere I had to ask my husband, Sven, to give me a ride. Just like a teen.

I am looking forward to see photos from your beach. 8) Australia must be a very interesting and different from the South.

About “Photobucket”: make sure to turn off your pop-up blocker, so you can download their “download-your-photo”-tool. You can do it!!!


Gypsie, good luck with everything. School and a big move at the same time. I hear lots of work. Looking forward to hear back from you.

Seeing the Pope is wonderful. He is emanating good vibes. I was moved to tears just by seeing him on TV. I am not a catholic or even close, but that didn’t matter, I could still receive his energy. He is loved and loves back, can it be that simple? I know that "media" (at least in Sweden) wants to picture him as an introvert intellectual, but I do not believe that one bit. He is an enlightened master, nothing less (not saying I share his ideas in politics and religion). But he certainly is awake. ( who is I to tell? :shock: well... )


PP, It is so liberating to see your bird flying again. I love that avi of yours. Although, I must say, I really appreciated see your happy smile and with flowers in your hair. You are so beautiful. :D

I read that too, and thought... Why did not anyone of those people who have put so much work and research into writing all these books about that calendar and the end of times, ask the experts??? Isn't that an interesting phenomenon in it self?

PP, since you asked, my trip to Sweden is postponed till the middle of August. My immigration lawyer has told me I can stay a little longer, and I do not want to leave until Ivan has started school. :D So, that was really good news for me. I was afraid that I was overstaying... with a risk of getting in trouble with the authorities... but, I am not! Well, it is actually very good news! And, :wink: I will be posting my peculiar posts here for one more month. :lol:


Heather I hope you manage to coop with all the cranky people at your workplace. The anti-cranky bubble sounds like an excellent idea!!!


And Kim and AquaDeb, lots of love to both of you,

And love and blessings to everybody else,
Maria

Oh… I almost forgot. I developed some pictures, and in one of them is a tiny orb, just above my head. An energy orb, :sunny: very beautiful. I will post it soon so you folks can take a look at it and see for your self.

Okay, I am done.

Hi Maria, Gypsie, pp, Sandy, Laura, AquaDeb, Heather, Reba,
Thankyou for the support...it's so nice to not be judged...for being mortal with faults and issues to work through. I felt so much pain during this week it felt unbearable..... :cry: During the night the smoke alarm kept going off...and a few times this morning.....midwayers...I've been reading 'the power of the subconscious mind' by Joseph Murphy. You can download it free on the internet, quite an old book...
Feeling better...also been reading some things pp sent me too. I know what Eckhart Tolle says but for some reason these things still plague me.......My pain body is large.....I've got the message pp.....
Can't blame anyone...that would be convenient wouldn't it..... :roll: It was my decision to come to this planet...so I want to fulfill my purpose.
Love lilly xxxx :loves

:D Its just too big to read this post after being off of it for awhile, so I will just let you all know how much you mean to me and I love each and everyone of you.

Thank you Sandy for the birthday wish and I'm sorry to have missed yours. It appears you and George Have many celebrations in the last month with his birthday and your anniversary. To my sweet Sandy HAPPY BIRTHDAY and we are so lucky to have you.

Hello Aqua Deb, I've not had a chance to visit your future home on the beach, you both must be beach bums :lol: it sounds like such a wonderous adventure and if I'm ever down that way I will look you up.

My dear Lilly, you like me have such problems with that ugly old pain body. Just give it over to Our Father and dont let it in anymore. I really have been tested for several months right now with my sister, bless her heart. She tempts me left and right and knows how to work my ego which in turn has lit a pilot under that painbody :x . These are our lessons to learn and we no longer have to carry this burden, so whatever is causing you problems accept it, let it go and forgive. Good healing to you my sister.

PP, I chatted with you the other night so were all caught up, but I have to tell you that picture with Michael in it has me thinking this is your trade photo for your teachings. What a wonderful cover for your first book and to display in your healing sanctuary. Everyone that has seen it at my house has seen Michael, my husband told me I need to send it to his sister, he's so cute. I will send it to her and my daughter and see what they have to say. I'm already half way through the other book so I'll be chatting with you soon. Love you and big hugs.

Kim, I'm not quite sure what I read but I hope your not feeling under the weather. I have not been able to chat with you much but I will say a prayer for you and that life's treating real good girl.

Maria L,
see you got your ticket and that reunion will take place, I'm sorry to say I'm being selfish when I hear you will just have to stick around for another month, but I'm so inspired by you that it will be great having you around and you will be missed dearly when you go home, but we will have you back soon enough.

Heather, where are you working? I really missed quite a bit of this thread. I sure hope you use those tools you've been provided and shield yourself from all the negativity, put AA Michaels protection up so you can soar through your days with much ease.

Gypsy, I'm with you how wonderful that the youth were celebrating Our Father and dancing in the street. It will one day be a glorious day for all of us to see this amongst all our brothers and sisters. Well, like I told Aqua Deb when I make it your way we will have a girls night out and I will check out your new home. I've always wanted to visit Austrailia so you never know :wink: .

Pet, I'm sorry to hear your having problems getting on line with us but we have you connected and all of our hardware is working just fine :wink: . It will be wonderful when you are back writing all your wit. I understand Phil is in pain so I will include him in my prayers, love to you and yours sweet sister.

Welcome Lilyjune, you have a great spirit about you and thank you for sharing your information. I'm not recognizing the name but that's how we all learn is from one another. Pretty big thread, huh :shock: I like someone who can just jump in like she's home.

Hello Mike, what did someone serve you too much coffee!!

To everyone I may have missed I send my love to your fine home.
Love and Peace Always,
Memawlaura

:D So I thought I'd give you a quick update on what I've been up to so I have a quick cup of jo with you all.

My sister has been working me to death :shock: :lol: :shock: I've got aches I did not know we could ache at. She must be a firm believer in idol hands and an idol mind or something. I cant hardly fit much more in to a day than working my butt off, litterly. I've been picking weeds so we can grow some pretty grass. The flowers we planted are beautiful and smell wonderful, my garden is growing big and luscious as we speak. I thought I had bug problems but the deer stop off at the corner buffet :lol: so I had to put a net around my goodies. I prayed for Our Father to allow some veggies to make it to my plate and it seems to be working. Been reading reading reading lately and I believe I'm ready for the next step on my journey and doing the unthinkable of trusting someone other than myself, so will see where we go.

Well my dear sister has come in and seems to want to have conversation so I will close with all you beautiful people and see ya later.
Love and Peace Always,
Memawlaura

Hello me lovlies
Well, the kitchen is going in slowly and i feel it will be great once it has finished, living by the sea I mean :lol:

I just have to share this experience with everyone, on Sunday afternoon I sat outside and thought what is that noise it was so loud...
:shock:
Then i realised it was 500 thousand people singing at the Randwick Racecourse and Centenial park, they were singing hyms with the chiors, the sound was Angelic and I just closed my eyes to listen. It felt like the voices were being carried upwards, totally beautiful and how lucky am I to live down the road from where it was all happening..

In the entire history of Sydney we have never had that many people in the Rocks area and around the Harbour and not have one fight, how amazing it that!

The young were so vibrant, joyus and happy. Thousands attended from non-religious groups, Muslims, Jewish and they were all united with joy in their hearts, what an amazing thing to witness in my lifetime...

PP
World Youth Day happens (I think) every 3 years in the country the Pope announces at the end of the celebrations. It is a time for young people to come together and share the joy in their hearts with hundreds of thousands of others from around the would, it is a time of unity. It's also a opportunity for young people with faith to ho;d their heads high and show the world having faith is a gift rather than something to feel shame about.

Lily did you see pligrams out your way? I hope you are feeling better my sweet and i was only joking about the weight :lol: I am just a bit housebound at the moment and feel a bit lost or lonely, I know it will pass and the day will come for us to meet. I loved our chat, it was great to just share bits of ourselves, thank you for calling I can tend to isolate.

Love to all and happy to see phil is better....

Love and hugs Gypsy

Hi, all!

Taking a break from mowing the lawn and pruning up my flowers. There are so many sweet and interesting stories where does one begin? Thank you everyone for sharing.

Dear Lilly,
I too am always working on clearing the cobwebs from the past. It is an on-going project, that will probaly take till the end of my days, but oh so worth it to find my true self. :alien:


Aqua Deb and PP,
Nana Hemlock is an old fashion herbalist and healer, but I have a few laundry tips of my own, as a matter-a-fact spent the past few days scoping out a new washer and dryer set, after all my mantra is, "I've gotta do the laundry... I've gotta do the laundry." Yikes think I'll have to get another job! :stars:

First of all, "No never bleach on ink stains! :shock:" Do not rinse or wash the stain, first spritz hair spray(I use unscented) directly on the ink spot keep spraying until it dissolves. You can rub it gently but don't get over exuberant because the ink will likely spread onto more of the fabric.

Maria,
It warms my heart everytime I read one of your posts :D , so happy that you'll have your plane tickets! :thumleft: What is a three point turn? :scratch:

Sandy,
One of the major fears of my social anxiety disorder was renewing my drivers license. :oops: Isn't that crazy? What is really strange is I'm a very good driver, been driving cars and motorcycles since I was eight. It was one of the toughest but the last major obstacle of facing the beast down. Only part I had difficulty with was parallel parking, and honestly I will walk five blocks before EVER parallel parking! 8) Good luck with your test! :thumright:

We went down state for a few days to catch a baseball game, ride the people mover, eat Chicago style pizza, go to the zoo, and most of all see my kids! :love


Laura,
I've been thinking of you lately, wondering how your garden was doing. :sunflower: For the life of me I can't remember when and why you were living with your sister! I too am in that situation. My sister and her two kids moved in with us last November. It's certainly not easy blending families!

My sister, although nine years younger, has a very strong, opinionated, and often negative personality.(I on the other hand am perfect in every way! :happy :mrgreen:) At first whenever things would get tense I'd roll my eyes :roll:, take everything she dished out, and carry on as best as I could. I'd get done what was needed, then escape to my bedroom, to jump up and down, curse, and yell to my poor husband. :evil: I really don't play the martyr very well.

Eventually, like Lilly, I had to admit that everything in my life was my responsibility. It wasn't fair or healthy for anyone the pattern of living we'd gotten into. My sister was only reacting from her fear and pain. The control she tries to exert over everything is her way of dealing with stress, but not nesessarily the best thing for either of our families.

Now, if she starts going down that old familiar path of spreading negativity I put up a hand and say, "I can't listen to it." It doesn't do any good to try and help her with solutions or point out her own responsibility in the situation. By stating how I feel and what I need, helps us avoid blame and sets some boundaries... I also try to do something really nice for her everyonce in awhile... just to freak her out!!! :lol:

Gypsie,
There's nothing like living next to a beautiful body of water to fill your spirit. Good luck with the move... It will be the children who lead us into the next spiritual revolution! Our kids are proof of that right?

Gypsie, all you need to be accepted at your new place is be yourself. That's all we really have to offer others isn't it?

LilyJune,
Welcome to the boards! :sunny:

Did someone say Mike was posting here? "Hi, Mike!" :hithere

Guess I've put off the work long enough! Have a wonderful day everyone!

:loves

Love,
Kim

Hi Everyone,
I'm making the coffee or tea...with assorted cakes and biscuits..ok.
Strawberries and fresh pouring cream anyone....that's what we had for dessert tonight and a few gorgeous cherries each.
I meditated with my friend today and had a woman come right up close to me..she looked a little like Dame Judy Dench...with very short hair and piercing eyes....then immediately saw green and purple pulsating in my spiritual vision which then changed to gold. Could see something which looked like a stamen of a plant but it was connected to the brain in some way.....have no idea what it meant. Strange thing is that my friend saw something similar. Suddenly felt like I'd returned from somewhere...
Could feel negative energy being pulled out from my stomach area...I'm thankful for the healing received.
Love you all very much and hope you're all happy and well.
Love lilly xxx :D

Hi everyone,

I have kinda been away for a bit..

I was at a family reunion this past Sunday,was very nice to see my aunts and uncles and cousins. One of my cousins made posters of the Smiths and wow My son looks so much like my father when he was a young teenager. It is wow!

I also felt this reunion was nudged by my passed grandmother awhile back,I recall saying it out loud. " You are behind this aren't you Nanny?" After I said this I seen a golden light wiz by in my minds eye.

That was cool,I must say. 8)

I also had a 4:44 prompt at my aunts and I did feel loving presence threwout the time I was there...really felt my grandmother and I am sure my father as well.

Just to add,myself and my sister hasn't seen many of these people since 1984 at my father's furneral.

It was nice.

*hugs* Hope everyone is well.( Sorry I didn't do much of a catch up.)

Dear Lilly,
MMM, and I was just going to have bowl of cereal! We are just starting the cherry harvest in our neck of the woods. In a couple of days we can go out and pick them right off the tree.

Your meditation sounds very visually compelling. The clearing is just what you've been asking for, congratulations!

There have been more than a couple of times when Aleah and I have had almost the same dream. One time I woke up in the middle of the night to write a story that originated from a dream. She rose hours later, told me her dream, and it was almost exactly the same as my story.

It's pretty cool to share an expereince, kind of like we are all sipping from the same cosmic cup!

Love,
Kim

Hello Dear Hearts,

Thank you for a warm welcome to the coffeehouse :D I'm looking forward to getting to know all here.

A week ago I began selling on ebay again. Previously I had some terrible experiences with it. A couple of buyers saying it wasn't authentic, or arrived damaged, or never arrived etc. None of which is true, but it took energy to fight and it was all very negative. I was very unhappy and was desperate to 'make money'. It was all consuming. When I think back 95% of all my buyers were wonderful and sweet. The few that weren't took me down. I also was not in a good place at the time so it didn't take much for me to fold and feel terrible about myself.

I feel this is a good time to start again because I'm more grounded, happy and ready for an adventure. I've placed about 30 items for sale in the last week and I've set a goal to place at least 3-5 more per day.

However, I can feel myself start to get anxious by checking all the time to see if the bids have gone up or if an item has a new bid. It's hard not to become compulsive about checking. When I look and there isn't a new bid or gone up in price I start to become discouraged. So...starting today I am only going to look once in the morning and once in the evening. It's an issue of having self control because I know it will make me feel better about this experience. When I have the urge I'll say a prayer to let go, stay in peace and calm, and turn it over for help. I'm also going to see my buyers in 'white light'.

Well, I've shared more than a little :stars: wheeeew!! I feel better! Guess this was right at the surface :) Hugs and Love..........

:sunny: Good Afternoon to all my loving family,

:happy Lilly, So glad to hear that you received a healing, so you can move forward on your journey. I've been reading a book gifted to me by PP "The Masters Return" by Joseph Crane and it appears we will be going through this off/on its called working out the sums :loves so I liken it to cleaning house and until I dust that table its going to just get dustier. So if you did not read what your gifts and traps are during the Eden Event last month take a visit because it appears we just need to learn to live our gifts by overcoming our traps :wink: at least thats what I picked up on it. So visit the link below and find your Soul Ray Color and it will explain your gifts and traps. If you already did this than anyone else interested will now have some ideas to get past those blocks and fears
http://www.thegatheringofone.com/

I will take a cup of coffee with a vanilla creamer and one of those bisquits sounds real good.

:loves Kim, It sounds like you have been a busy beaver with your outdoor chores. You would really like my small garden that has now grown to be somewhat larger :shock: I have squash that I think the seeds came from the Jolly Green Giant :lol: :lol: .

You asked how I'm at my sisters, they travel for her husband's employment and we rent it for very little and keep it up and I forward her mail to them where ever they land. However with the economy being so bad they have been home for about 4 mths. My sister has been so stoved up that when she gets home everything she would like to get done is done with extreme predjudice :sword: so whomever is around feels the effects. I love her with all my heart and I'm realizing that she's hear to have me practice keeping my ego in check, which I have failed a time or two but I'm getting pretty good with it. We even have had a pain body event or two, but hopefully it wont ever effect our love for one another. I think I'm being exposed to all of this so I can go out into a world that many have no love for me and I can brave it with out taking great offense :idea: . I know its hard to intermingle family under one roof but I would not change a thing right now. It has taught me much of what I needing for the near future and why I'm where I'm at right now in my life. I've been procrastinating for quite sometime but when I make my decision I dont want it to be from the negative, but I'm seeing how I've really never taken responsibility for decision making very often.

:loves Heather, it sounds like your family reunion was wonderful. It made me homesick for my family. I know we often wonder how everyones doing, so it appears your grandma felt it was time for all of you to rekindle your love for one another.

:D Gypsy, I dont believe I've heard about the World Youth Day, but it sounded through your description "Angelic". I really have been noticing the youth being more proactive than reactive and this only can mean we are on our way for all mankind. I often think about my youth and how screwed up we were with all the abuses and thinking we were practicing freedom. Well, I guess we were being reactive but not very responsible with our new found freedom. I was just a misguided trailblazers.

:wink: LillyJune, I think when you get it too much of anything its just that "Too Much". I even experienced this with this message board. Instead of meditating I would be on the MB and than did not know what to do with myself after answer posts or greeting newbies. Its all about being balanced is what it boils down to and its something I've not mastered as of yet. I'm getting a little bit better, in fact just in this last week. I've made sure and meditated everyday, gaining spiritual knowledge, but I still have a few areas too include. Hopefully your stronger now to take on your work, but if it gets negative you just visit this lovely cafe and friends and we will hold you up until you find your footing.

To everyone else that I did not address your in my heart and thoughts as I will go through the loving day and Bless All Your Hearts.
Love and Peace Always,
Memawlaura

Hi Laura,
Just had to post this....it didn't have the author's name with it..


The Sad Little Boy and the Happy Old Man
There was a boy who was born with a small deformation on one of his legs. As he grew up to a teenager, he realized that his friends who did not have any problems with their legs were able to enjoy their lives much more than he could. He became unhappy, frustrated and depressed and started complaining to God.

One fine Sunday morning, as he was complaining, he kept asking God “why was I chosen to suffer while others are enjoying their lives?”

Suddenly, he could hear some voices and laughter from behind. On turning back, he was astonished to see an old lady carrying her husband on her arms as he had no legs. The boy realized that although the man did not have legs, he had all the happiness in the world.

The boy went up to the old man and asked him what made him so happy when he couldn’t walk. The old man said he always looked at positive things in life. “It’s true, I don’t have legs, but God has given me such a devoted and noble wife that I don’t miss my legs. We love each other very much” was the man’s reply.

The teenaged boy got his answer from God. While he was complaining about the slight deformity in one of his legs, he could still walk…. and here was an elderly man who had no legs at all and yet was so happy. He kneeled down, prayed and asked forgiveness from God and thanked him immensely for being in much better position than the old man.


There are two things for us to learn from this story.

1. Always be grateful for what you have and
2. Nothing in this world except our thoughts can define the state of our happiness, not even our physical state.


Love lilly xxx

Hi Heather,
Nice to see you and glad you're happy, sending you a *hug*.
Kim,
I'd love a cherry straight from the tree...how wonderful. My mother and brother often interact in their dreams....and recall it as well. It's lovely having such a connection with your daughter.
I'm a bit slow with the coffee Laura, I've made a new one with your vanilla creamer....very nice....biscuits too. :bike: Home delivered.
Love lilly xxxx

Hello to my darling family
This feels like a runaway train again :bike: I don't think I can catch up with each and everyone we are so busy getting the unit ready, packing and YES sending the boys back to school today after a LONG holiday :meds:
I'm happy to make some tea for all, I know how to make that sweet Arabic tea in small glasses emmm but I don't think it will go with my bowl of coco pops.

I finally got my bestie to the Doctors today she had breats cancer just over 3 years ago and choose to not do treatment. But the last few months she has had fluid on her lung and looks sick. I have been worght with worry but trying to not plug into drama (leave that to my family) anyway I took her to my Doctor and she was draging her heels even said she was angry at me this morning. But after her xray she said she was glad I was pushy and it's important for her to have check ups...tomorrow we pick up the results :happy I don't really have many friends so I am trying to stay positive, PP maybe it's time to learn about the pain body, I am really screwed up emotionally at times... :oops:

Hi Lily school holidays have thrown a spanner in the works but once we've moved and settled I hope to make the meditation :kiss:
Laura you sound really great I also wish for you to come to Australia, i think you'd love it here!'
Kim I think the one thing I will truly miss living in a unit is my garden but I can have window boxes in the lovely bay windows...
Heather I've worked out horseflys OUCH they sound as annoying as Auzzie mozzies hope work is treating you well...

Hello LilyJune I don't think we have formally met yet, so hi :hithere and here is a bowl of coco pops :lol:
Hello our beautiful Sandy how exciting you may have your licence soon, I can remember a couple of years ago we were laughing about all the new freeways in no time at all you'll be a wiz on the road :bike:

Better go my lovlies I adore you all and have enjoyed droping into our coffee house...

Hugs Gypsie :cheers:
Love is an action and not a word...
