Angels sure do come in many shapes and sizes. I recently got a puppy. She is so full of unconditional love. Her antics bring a smile to my face and joy to my heart. When she runs her ears flap like angel’s wings. How can you resist those eyes?

My dad has Alzheimer’s and recently his step daughters took him to Vermont to live. He can be very difficult and impatient at the best of times and with this disease ravaging his brain he gets paranoid and afraid very easily.

Long story short, after a month and a half in Vermont they are trying to ship him off to live with me in Hawaii. I go to Lithuania for the month of September so I can’t take him until I get home. I talked to him today and he is afraid and angry. There is a sweet young girl working in the nursing home they placed him in. I asked her to circle the date on the calendar when I will meet him and print out an e mail I wrote explaining everything. That way he can read it when he gets scared or forgets what’s happening.

Today she is my angel. Angels come in so many shapes and sizes. They are always there, right at the edge of our reality, waiting to help us, all we have to do is be willing to ask. I remember one of my mentors telling me that asking others to help was a gift for both them and me. People often enjoy feeling cherished and useful.

I used to have a bumper sticker on my car that said commit “random acts of kindness and senseless beauty.” What would happen to the world if a whole bunch of us decided to make that our mission for a month or two? It might be a very different world!

Some of the things I love to do:

Put flowers on people’s windshield
Pay for other people’s parking meters
Buy coffee for the person behind me
Throw extra coins in the toll booth
Stop and let people in line
Smile a lot
Say kind things to strangers
Pick up liter
Plant flowers
Cut someone else’s lawn
Listen, really listen to someone else

Who can you be an angel for today? How can you make this world a better place right here and right now?

With love and aloha,

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.

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!

Susan

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.
