Well the last time I wrote in my blog I was in Northeastern Pennsylvania.  I must say a lot have happened since then for starters I have packed up and moved.  I now live in a tiny little town in the woods of Michigan. One thing that has not changed and that is my ability to find my self at home in a small town.

I am happy to say that it took no time for me to meet really nice people who are connected to who they are and comfortable with their inner powers. As I was preparing for the move I chose to do several readings for my self.  It was interesting that two themes kept coming up in every reading. 1. my spiritual family and 2. seeing thru cultural illusions.

Meeting my new neighbors made both these themes abundantly clear and as I meet more people here in this tiny little area it becomes crystal clear why it was important for me to be more aware of my spiritual family and ignore the cultural illusion that abound. Being aware of extended family in the world of spirit  is important not judging people based on cultural illusion also important. Many times social illusion blind us to the true nature of people and their spiritual gifts.

I am now happy to say I am settled in a beautiful cottage and enjoy sitting by the lake writing or just watching the sun set.  Sun setting at 9:17 and later wow. It is really beautiful here in the woods of Michigan.

Today I received this in an e-mail from a "child of my soul". It really made my day. It also made me send him a special e-mail to let him know just how proud I was of him for being who he was. Because sometimes it takes courage to be who we are:

A teacher in New York decided to honor each of her high school seniors for the difference they made in her life. Then she presented each of them with a Blue Ribbon imprinted with gold letters, which read, "Who I Am Makes a Difference."^TM

Afterwards the teacher gave each of the students three more ribbons to acknowledge others, to see what impact it would have in their community. They were to follow up on the results, see who honored whom and report back to the class the following week.

One of the students honored a junior executive in a nearby company for helping him with his career planning. The student gave him a blue ribbon and put it on his shirt just over his heart. Then the boy gave him two extra ribbons, explained their class project on acknowledgement and enlisted the executive's help.

Later that day the junior executive went in to his boss and told him that he deeply admired him for being a creative genius. The junior executive asked him if he would accept the gift of the blue ribbon and would he give him permission to put it on him. His surprised boss said, "Well, sure." After placing the ribbon above his boss' heart, he asked him to support the efforts of the class project and pass on the extra ribbon.

That night the grouchy boss went home to his 14-year-old son and sat him down. He said, "The most incredible thing happened to me today. I was in my office and one of the junior executives came in and told me he admired me and gave me this blue ribbon for being a creative genius. Imagine. He thinks I'm a creative genius. Then he put this blue ribbon that says 'Who I Am Makes a Difference'^TM on my jacket above my heart. Next he gave me an extra ribbon and asked me to find somebody else to honor. As I was driving home tonight, I started thinking about whom I would honor with this ribbon and I thought about you, son. I want to honor you."

"My days are really hectic and when I come home I don't pay a lot of attention to you. Sometimes I scream at you for not getting good enough grades in school or for your bedroom being a mess. But somehow tonight, I just wanted to sit here and, well, just let you know that you do make a difference to me. Besides your mother, you are the most important person in my life. You're a great kid and I love you!"

The startled boy started to sob and sob, and he couldn't stop crying. His whole body shook. He walked over to a drawer, pulled out a gun, stared at his father and, through his tears said, "I was planning on committing suicide tomorrow, Dad, because I didn't think you loved me. Now I don't need to."

Just stopping in to leave Beltane wishes and Blessing to all.

I have been busy with a new business and plans to move from the great state of PA. So have not had lots of time to enjoy the good company here. Hope to be back in full swing soon.

Blessings  All

Spring is officially here per the calendar. However this is the second morning this week I have gotten up to a nice dusting of snow on everything. So winter may officially be over but it does not want to leave.  No problem,  I was just looking forward to nice warm days and daffodils in the yard. Perhaps next week.
