Recently one of my students was in the midst of many major life changes. Any one of them would have been stressful, but experiencing all of them at the same time was very overwhelming. I made numerous suggestions about making gratitude lists, having a pack of index cards with her favorite quotes handy so she could read them to help her get centered and having a list of nurturing things some place she could easily read it and then make sure she did one.

They were all helpful ideas yet she was still overwhelmed. Then I remembered what I used to do when I first began my spiritual journey and still do frequently: ask for help and then be fully willing accept it. When I was really new to all this stuff I had a lot of doubt and my life was, to say the least, a mess. One of my mentors suggested I ask for help and then take the celestial being with me where ever I went.

It sounded crazy, but I was willing to try anything. So, I would ask for help and then envision the angel or spirit guide of the day sitting next to me in the car. When I went for a job interview I literally assigned a seat to my spiritual helper. I would talk to them a lot and magic really occurred when I took the time to really listen!

Angels, saints, ascended masters, gods and goddesses are all more than willing to help. Helping is their nature, as is love. Open your heart and your mind to their love, wisdom and strength. It is amazing what happens when we ask for help and then are willingly to accept it.

Try it. I am sure you will enjoy the results. I send out messages with spirit guides every other day to my angel list. It never fails that whoever shows up in my inbox is the very being I most need to work with that day. They are free of charge if you’d like to sign up.

With love and aloha,

Great ideas come into the world quietly as doves. Perhaps then, if we listen attentively, we shall hear among the uproar of empires and nations a faint fluttering of wings, the gentle stirrings of life and hope.

Life is full of endless possibilities. All of our limitations arise from the gray matter right between our ears. As we change our thinking our lives change. Reaching out and connecting with angels and other beings of light certainly makes change so much easier.

There are so many ways to connect with celestial beings. One of the first steps is the simple act of asking for help, then allow for the possibility that help is available and then actually accepting and following the suggestions that will be freely given. The voice of spirit is always quiet, gentle and loving. In the hustle and bustle of life we often fail to hear it.

Take the time each day to get quiet and listen to the gentle stirrings of your spirit. Magic will happen if you do.

What I love most about working with celestial beings is the surprising way things show up in my life. I’ll try to make a long story short. Through a series of coincidences the idea of YouTube kept coming up, over and over again. I’ve learned over the years to pay attention to that sort of thing. Then Thursday I was talking to my web magician Zack and he e mailed me a link for the Flip video recorder.

I took the afternoon off and went to the warm ponds with Mahealani, my best buddy, teacher and friend. She teaches ancient Hawaiian spirituality and communicates a lot with her ancestors. They had been talking to her about something and she just didn’t quite get what they were talking about. After a few minutes we both realized it was You Tube, putting her teachings out there with YouTube.

So yesterday was a big day for me. I signed up for Twitter. I can really see how that can be like potato chips. If you’d like to follow me on twitter just go here:

I also got a Flip camera and a new puppy. She has yet to be named but she is very cute. Here is my first YouTube, of course it is of her:

In a few weeks I will be doing a class on listening to your angels. I know when I listen, magic happens.

Have a great weekend!

Angels waiting to enter my garden

An angel watching over my chicken’s grave. She was killed today by the neighbor’s dog. As I carried her home a rainbow appeared in the sky even though there was no rain. Guess she wanted to let me know she had crossed over the rainbow bridge.

I live on the Big Island of Hawaii, the home of Pele. Right now the volcano is very active and creating a beautiful show as it flows down the pali and into the ocean. I feel so honored to have the opportunity to live in her backyard and be a caretaker for a small piece of her aina (land).

Pele is definitely the goddess of fire. Light a big candle or build a bonfire. Write a letter to this fiery goddess. Tell her what you want to let go of, what you would like to transform and what you are willing to do. Choose your words carefully. Not only is she a jealous goddess but she knows how powerful your words are. When the letter feels right burn it and throw the ashes into the wind. Listen carefully for her guidance and allow her to help you transform your life.

Pele will help you:

Increase the passion in your life
See your life with greater clarity and understanding
Transform your thinking
Deal with an unfaithful lover
Get to the heart of the matter

A friend sent me this and I thought it was very interesting. I have no idea who the original author was but I am passing it along with thanks to the writer whoever they are!

The 4th of July

Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the
Declaration of Independence?

Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured
before they died.

Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned.

Two lost their sons serving in the Revolutionary Army; another had two
sons captured.

Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the
Revolutionary War.

They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their
sacred lives.

What kind of men were they?

Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine
were farmers and large plantation owners; men of means, well educated,
but they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that
the penalty would be death if they were captured.

Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his
Ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and
properties to pay his debts, and died in rags.

Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move
his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay,
and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from
him, and poverty was his reward.

Vandals or soldiers looted the properties of Dillery, Hall, Clymer,
Walton,Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton.

At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson, Jr., noted that the British
General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his
headquarters.

He quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was
destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt.

Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed
his wife, and she died within a few months.

John Hart was driven from his wife’s bedside as she was dying. Their
13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were
laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves,
returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished. Some
of us take these liberties so much for granted, but we shouldn’t.

So, take a few minutes while enjoying your 4th of July holiday and
silently thank these patriots. It’s not much to ask for the price
they paid.

Remember: freedom is never free!

Patriotism is NOT a sin, and the Fourth of July has more to it than
beer, picnics, and baseball games.

With love and aloha,
Susan
