Angels and pennies

I was at the Community Market with my books today, trying not to feel discouraged by how slow it was, and the most amazing thing happened.

the angel and the penny poem

I had a pocketful of pennies that I brought to make change when I sold a book. The first one that I gave to someone caught my eye because it was very shiny. I thought, maybe it’s a lucky penny!

I emptied all the pennies out onto the table. I had the idea of separating all the very shiny pennies out and to only use them to make change, so I did that.

I had the idea to send some energy through the pennies to charge them up to be lucky for whomever received them, so I did that. Keep reading

JOY

For many years, I was fortunate enough to be part of a small group of women who practiced yoga together at the home of the instructor

(and my good friend) Kristen. We were together at least one day per week and we laughed, cried, supported each other, and cheered each other on to be, on any given day, the best we could be.

Then Kristen moved away. Our group disbanded. We were (and are) very sad about this. After many years of practice with my teacher, I was now a woman without a yoga class. Recently,  I was blessed to be able to revisit the past. Kristen came to Maine to visit for 2 weeks and was kind and generous enough to spend 3 of her mornings practicing yoga with us. She also had a small pouch of stones with her. She asked us each to pull one. I pulled JOY. Which I loved! And then promptly lost. As I looked through all of my (millions of) bags trying to find it, I realized that this whole episode is a metaphor for my life right now: looking for joy in all the wrong places. I remembered that at the last Enlightenment Expo, I had a conversation with an Angel Intuitive who told me the Angel of Joy was with me because…wait for it…I didn’t have enough joy  in my life. And that was in APRIL! Note to self: Work harder on this! Yoga at the Wells Harbor Gazebo was a good start.

BOOK REVIEW: A Still, Small Voice by Echo Bodine

I was in the middle of two other books when I suddenly felt an urgency to read this book. Echo Bodine still small coverI picked this one up and put the others aside. I read another book by this author last year, Hands That Heal, and enjoyed it very much. This book popped up in much the same way, out of the blue. I forget how I even learned about it!

So right at the beginning, Echo talks about listening to her mother. This resonated with me because just this week, I was talking someone (My husband? My daughter? My higher self? I forget!) about how I never listened to my mother. I have no idea why I didn’t. But my mom, as Echo describes her mom, “…always had an uncanny knowing about everything that happened in our lives.”  It was unsettling, I always thought. Now I know why: it was her intuition.

What to call your book

I have been working on a book about my metaphysical practices for about six months now, and it’s going very well, except for one thing.
I am not sure what to call it!  It’s not that I can’t think of a title, it’s that I can think of so many titles that I don’t know which one to pick. This also happened to me when I was writing my novel, One Brave Thing.

One day, I had a very vivid dream, where I heard a phrase very clearly, and it woke me up. I didn’t even have to write this down, it was so clear (but of course, I did!). When I first got it, I wasn’t sure of its significance.  Of course, I knew it was important, I just wasn’t sure why. Keep reading

BOOK REVIEW: Angel Guidance for Wealth

I was approached by the author to do a guest post here on my blog and that’s how this book came to my attention.  Don’t you love it when interesting books find you?

Angel Guidance for Wealth

Any girl ­­­­worth her salt has probably kept a journal or two in her time, whether she privately thought of it as her diary, just a notebook, or a pile of random napkins and Post-its (me!), it provided an outlet for thoughts and feelings that needed to be voiced.

What I love about Z.Z. Rae’s book is that she took the traditional, time-honored concept of the journal and blended it together with keeping a dream journal (which I just started talking about in my Metaphysical Monday videos!) and incorporating messages that come through from angels and guides to create a useful reference that serves us all.

And why shouldn’t we be?

Angels have been a mystery that the known world cannot explain.

I began a journal a couple months back, during my meditations. Nothing too special about that, right?

Well, in this journal, I asked the angels for guidance about wealth. As a result, I put the guidance together and formed my new book: Angel Guidance for Wealth.

I was thrilled and excited to share this with people. Here is a sample of guidance I received.

 

Angel Chamuel

Everyday hold a picture in your heart of what you desire. Not the absence of that which you desire, but see yourself living with it, holding it, and walking in it. When you pull that which you desire into your heart, and let love flood you, it will start coming toward you at a higher rate. I know it feels slow at times—but the more you pull it toward your heart and believe you have it, it will come rushing toward you at a higher paced rate. Believing is the key to prosperity in your life. I know you’ve heard that before. I know you’ve heard that you need to try affirmations, and while affirmations have many good traits, you must also hold the picture inside of you that says—I have it. Some may scoff at your living-it-right-now attitude, but pay them no attention. Keep reading
