As my spirituality continues to grow, my heart center seems to open more. The saying of "ask and you shall receive" actually works. Have you ever tried calling upon your angels? Maybe you think you don't have any? You do. Everyone does.
Even if you are unsure of your faith but have a general belief or would like to believe that there are angels around us, that is all you need to begin to ask for help in any given situation. I used it recently to remove some personal pain I was having in a relationship. I was feeling utterly crushed about something. I figured it couldn't hurt to just ask?
Maybe you feel like you will be asking wrong? No. There are no wrong ways to ask for help from your angels. I said something like, "Calling all my spirit guides, deceased family members, God, Mother Mary, Jesus, saints and angels....Please, please remove this pain I am feeling."
Even though I am spiritual by nature I still carry that old self doubt in me. I still thought, well, maybe this will work or maybe it won't but it doesn't hurt to ask just in case.
I think I can call it a "mini miracle". My pain lifted in about 2 days after asking for guidance. I seemed to be directed to persons whom I never talked to before about my personal issues but found out that they too were going through the same type of issues I was! We could commensurate and share healing strategies. It helped.
Thank you, John R. You know who you are. And thank you Lisa Ann, you know who you are too in guiding me to contact this man as you felt we had some kind of spiritual connection that would benefit one another someday. It has. He is a healer by profession or nature even. It just helped having someone to talk to that was on the outside of the situation and knew nothing of what was going on with me.
So a week or so ago I was at a friends house. I spent the night. You know that little time frame where you are just about to fall asleep and you are not quite "out" yet? Yea, that time. Well, I had a vision come to me in like a flash of a movie scene I guess I would say it was like. I saw very clear, an older woman in a blue dress with black shoes, like the elderly wear for stability. She was frail looking. She had short salt and pepper colored hair and a silver cane and she was standing. She had a message for me. I knew who this was but I had never met her before and she had passed away last year. I knew of her but didn't know her personally. So, she puts the message in my head, with a stern sense about her and pointing her cane outward, like to stress that she meant business. She says, "Treat her right!" I knew who she was referring to when she said that. Then she showed me a gold chain necklace. And she said she was overlooking her beloved husband who still is here today. And like in the blink of an eye, she was gone. I felt this overwhelming sense of I needed to cry when this was happening and I did have tears running down my cheeks. I said thank you to her and I will pass the message along.
I kept thinking about this message for another day, because I carry self doubt when things like this happen sometimes. I waited before I delivered the message to my friend. They say if the message doesn't leave your mind then it really needs to be delivered. I was afraid to deliver this message to my friend because not everyone is "gets it" when people like me receive messages. Or I feel judged. Still being true to who I know I am and what abilities I have since learned I carry, I did share the message. Again, I felt all emotional retelling the message. I had the tears falling down my cheeks again and felt all jittery.
I told my friend I didn't understand the whole meaning of the message. The part about this gold chain. I asked my friend if he had given such a thing as a special gift to her? He said not that he recalled. I asked if her husband, his father, gave her a gift like that and again he didn't know or think so. So I let that part go.
A few days later it came to me what this gold chain may have represented. I received a gold chain from the person whom the message was intended for. He gave me a necklace as a gift. I believe now, that it was her way of giving me validation that her message was real and needed to be given to her son. My job was done.
That is really how it often happens. So my intuition speaks to me often and I often ignore it only to find out later I was right in the thought or message that I felt inside me or "knew". I will write more on that topic another day.

Energy....Spirit Energy...Positive Energy...What do You Call it?
I don't know what to call it really but sometimes I feel anothers energy field I think. Sometimes I think I am just imagining it but then think how can that be if it keeps on happening? Have you ever walked into a room full of people and met someone you don't know but at that moment you instinctively "feel" you do not like them very much? Have you ever met someone and instinctively felt that you knew them already? I have and I don't know why or how that happens, but it does.
What do you call that when it happens? What do you call it when you feel this "vibration" within? I often feel like I have a million butterflies in my stomach when I meet certain people. Years ago while attending a college course I spotted this woman across the room in my class and I "knew" we were to be friends. Well it's been more than 10 years now and we are the best of friends and she was from another country. It is borderless when this energy vibration happens.
Another example that often happens to me is that I "feel" this energy with someone while chatting online. It only bothers me that I cannot explain any of it logically. I just "know" that when the good energy happens, it was meant to be, then I just accept it.
For me I believe that when I meet someone on the same "wavelength" I feel that I was supposed to meet them and that either I am here to teach them something or they are here to teach me something. Generally the dialogue grows between each of us. I have this happening now with someone I met first through a dream of mine. I know not everyone will get this or understand how it happens, as I don't even understand it, but I accept it because time and time again it has been proven to me that what thought entered my mind or I dreamed of, that it was a message to me, to be on the lookout.
I think I am entering something new to myself at this point in my life. I think I am becoming more open. What does becoming more open really mean? I think it means that I am more accepting of what seems to happen to myself as it feels more natural now. It's like it is just a part of me that I am beginning to discover myself on a more spiritual level. I don't consider myself particularly religious either. I call it "spiritual". I'm open to learning new things and new perspectives and if it feels right or good, then I go with it...learn more about it. Acceptance. That is one of the levels that comes with this "gift" as I feel it is.
Next would be patience. I've been trying to manage patience for a while now. I'm getting there. It helps to have acceptance first I think. The rest just begins to flow openly and outward and then I feel that I need to express it in an outwardly manner and for me that comes out in my writings.
I'm sure I drive many people "crazy" with all my writings and questions on life; all the why's and wonders. Generally I feel it is ok, to ask questions. How else can one learn? If someone is not comfortable answering your questions, they will tell you.
So what is my point of writing here today? I'm searching for answers. I'm searching to learn. I need that logicality to a point to understand why things are happening to me now like this. It seems that I am gradually building up a network of like-minded individuals in which I am free to ask what I am seeking out answers to.
So my one friend, whom I dreamed of before meeting him, I write to him often asking questions or sometimes I fill up his message box with me just writing my wonders or whys. I tell him it "just flows" out of me. I could write elsewhere but I don't. I told him I don't even understand yet why I chose him to write to but that it seemed to feel safe for now. I'm not really sure what he thinks of all my "ramblings" but so far he has not told me to get lost. What can I say? I'm open to him as well and said from the get-go that'd I be writing him "mini-books" as I call it and hoped that he didn't' mind or found it entertaining.
Write me on your experiences of feeling others energy. Even those of you that might feel that you are not that "open" more than likely have had an experience like some of these. I'm here to share and to listen to what you have to say so we can educate others.

Ghost Dog
Have you ever thought you saw something out of the corner of your eye and then when you turn your head around to look at it, you see it for that split second, fully, and can remember intricate details, yet it is gone?
You got it. That's what has happened to me recently.
I was just going about my usual daily routine, at night, opened the door in my house to my cellar and we also have a door that goes outside at this same entry point. I saw outside the door through the window, an animal. I shouted to my husband, "Hey there is an animal outside the door here!" I flipped on the outside light and saw it and then I put my face up against the window to look outside and it was gone!
I stared outside looking down to the ground to see if there were foot prints as it had just snowed and the ground was covered with fluffy white, sparkling snow. There were none!
My husband came running up the cellar stairs to see the "animal" but there were none to see. I said "I don't understand it. I swear I saw this dog standing my outside of the door here!" I said I could describe what it looked like even....even though I only saw it in that split second.
My husband left and I just stood there trying to decipher what had just happened. I was trying to logically put together what I thought I saw. Or more like, how could I see such an animal so quickly?
I saw a dog. I think it was a Grey Hound dog with lots of speckled brown spots all over. It was tall and it was just standing up close to the house or step to come in. It's tail was curled up and I want to say it had blue eyes. It was a very pretty dog and one that I have not ever seen in our neighborhood before. I felt like it was cold looking to come in as we have been experiencing frigid temperatures lately. The dog was a thin build much like the Grey Hounds.
So I had this image in my mind and no logical explanation why this dog would be here nor any physical evidence to back up what I said.
Still trying to logically explain this to myself mostly, I tried looking at the window in different angles to see if the light was playing tricks on me. Still nothing seemed to help me figure this out. So I let it be.
I decided somethings have no explanation and it's better to just accept it and move on.
Tell me if you have ever had such an experience? What do you think this means? Does it mean anything at all? Did I see a dog in spirit? I don't know but if it wants to come back to "visit" me, it's more than welcome to.

We are sponsoring an event. Our goal is donate to the Regional Animal Shelter of Fulton County, NY.
