It’s been a long time since I was on your side, but I want to wish Happy New Year to all those who know we in spirit are abundant among you to help you with your dreams and wishes.
I’ve come through today to bring news! Many of us on my side are willing to come through for you on your side, even if we didn’t know you personally. Believe me, it’s a gift to us to be available for advise - or even to help tip the scales of events in favor of love - so don’t hesitate to ask for our help.
I protect members of my immediate family whenever I sense they’re in trouble by pushing quiet thoughts into their minds letting them know “things will be alright.” I can sense they hear me because their eyes change for the better.
Ask God to bring to you many guides and teachers. Many! It’s a wonderful thing to have many of us on this side plugging away for you, and that’s what we’ll do when we know you need our help. And believe me, from this side we can be of enormous help!
God bless America and all her soldiers, wherever they are. When I was young I was in the service. I was honored to serve America; to protect it for all who believe in freedom and the American way. I sincerely hope I can be in service again, even if from this side. It would be my honor to help, so please ask. Anytime.
Incredibly blessed for this chance to come through –

The first thing I noticed after I died was how bright the air around me was. It was as if I had blinked and suddenly was in a place of all light. It’s not like you know you’re going to die when you have a heart attack, at least not for me, because it happened so rapidly I never had a chance to catch my breath.
I wanted to come through today to let people know that IF you ask God to help you come home without the pain or frustration of a delayed exit from your body, it can happen. It means coming out quickly and without the drawn-out drama of coming-to and then slipping away for longer and longer periods. It means closing your eyes and waking up in ‘The Light’.
I’m so glad it happened that way for me and thought you might want that as your option, too.
Many happy wishes to each of you,
Tracy

It’s a horrible day the day you find out you have terminal cancer. But then, to be truthful, that’s when you also begin to go through some of the most important and meaningful times of your life as you prepare for death. Isn’t that rather sad and ironic? In most cases we say “I love you” more freely, as well as give away prized possessions without strings attached, as our time of departure draws nearer.
Be willing to see and talk with those who want to visit if you are ill or dying. It is a grand opportunity for each of you to fully open your hearts and really speak your peace. You’ll be glad you did and they will be at peace when it’s their time, too.
With a very full heart,
Betty

I died waterskiing a long time ago. I hit the motor with my board, flipped backwards and I got tangled up in the lines. It was over and done with pretty quick, but still I’ve wanted to say how much I truly loved life and today seems a fine day to bring through a message about just that.
If you’re a man or woman who wants to see the world, go! For Heaven’s sake, don’t let anything stand in your way. If you’re curious about praying to see if God really hears you, do it. Pray! It makes a difference. (Much more than you know.) And if you want to be a friend to mankind, ask for all things wonderful to come to you. Because if you’re going to help lead mankind into greatness, be willing to see and feel your greatness.
That’s all I’ve wanted to say for a long time, and am content now that I’ve had that opportunity.
Always your friend,
Alice

AMY"God's Going to Grant You Your Wish!"
Take time each day to write on a piece of paper the kind of adjectives you would like used to describe who you want to be (i.e. funny, patient, delightful, etc.). This becomes a fun way to give God the real honest-to-goodness idea of who you want to be. Then one night when you least expect it, God’s going to grant you your wish by shifting you into the brightest light there is: LOVE!
Soon, you will begin noticing more and more things in your life are connecting while more and more of the adjectives you wrote down are describing who you really are! This is when you begin accepting the idea that you’re co-creating YOU through the hand of love: GOD!
I love you all,
Amy

JOLEEN "Hold Your Head Up High Every Day of Your Life"
I was a girl of fourteen when the train car I was in came unhitched. I was asleep. So when it reversed course on the tracks, I only became aware of it moments before it careened into another train not far behind our train.
Spain is where I lived and still call home though I’m now in the afterlife. Since the accident, I’ve had a great deal of time to think about my life as well as life in general, and want to share some of my ideas about it:
• Don’t let yourself be talked into anything you don’t want to do. It will become a burden.
• Become an expert at one thing, at least. It will definitely boost your confidence.
• Answer any question asked of you with, “I only know that for me…”
• Stand tall and hold your head up high every day of your life. It increases the serotonin in your brain, and your heart will function with much more ease as it feels the happier chemicals surging through your body.
Always here when you need a friend,
Joleen

It’s hard to know where to begin when you’re given the opportunity to give advice about life, but I guess I’ll narrow it down to live for today. It’s important because the truth is, you never know if you’re going to make it to the next day. So if you have the sense to make today great, you’ll never regret your life.
That’s what I have to say, so thank you.

MARIE"What You Say to Yourself in the Mirror"
TRY THIS: Say to yourself in the mirror that you are not fat, you are not stupid, and you are not a loser. After you say what you are not, tell yourself what you are. You are beautiful, you are healthy, and you are going into a life that feels more and more love!
This is important because the truth is, you’re the one who has been undermining yourself for too long.
Sending love your way,

CARL"Without Anything Heavy to Wear!"
audio
At first you’re not sure if you’re alive or dead because you can’t quite wake up. Next comes the humming as you start lifting off the bed (or whatever you’re on), but you don’t know that’s what’s happening until you feel that floating feeling. The part where you need God’s help I found out, is in leaving your body behind. It’s a feeling that is not easy, because a large part of who you think you are is still attached to that body. But it’s not anymore. You’re still you, only now you’re without anything heavy to wear.
So if you come out of your body in a wave of fear or doubt (like you might if you die from disease or in an operating room), ask God to lift you up. As you feel the upward movement, you will notice there is much, much more in front of you than what’s left of you behind.
Overcome with gladness at being able to help,
Carl

MICHAEL"I Don't Know Why But I'm A Very Lucky Person!"
It’s easy. Like if you talk about problems long enough, eventually they’ve got to happen. I didn’t realize this until I died and heard myself inside repeatedly saying how sick with worry I was. “I’m sick about it,” I had repeated over and over. Before long - before my natural death should have happened – it came true. I got sick and died.
Also, stay away from words of anger or words that destroy. Instead, tell yourself that you are lucky and blessed. Say it often and repeat it to others: “I don’t know why, but I’m a very lucky person.”
This is a gift I wanted to share, and hope it helps you out.

TINA"My Antics and Comical Ways!"
Hi. I'm Tina. A very long time ago I rode a horse while sitting backwards, trying to show off to my friends. After I fell, I died. I was not hurt in the sense of pain because it happened so fast, but I was hurt over my life's abrupt end. Not yet, I remember saying to myself, but it was done.
After my death, I saw how many people’s lives I touched even though I was quite young. I saw my family grieve, but I also saw them smile and laugh when they thought of my antics and comical ways. Of course it’s important that you not do stupid things, but please be willing to do silly things for the sake of laughing, because when you share laughter, you share sunshine!
Love to all my new friends,
Tina

I’ve got a million things to say, but as far as advice to the living, I want only to offer this: leave nothing left unsaid that you wish you would have said. Nothing. Nothing is too silly or too unimportant to say, because when you’re gone it’ll be too hard on your emotions.
So listen to what your heart wants, and then give yourself my permission - if that’s what it takes - to say it, already!
Allen
3/29/09
Let’s just say that the first thing that comes to mind for me in offering advice is how often I wished for something but never really made a plan for it. It’s a tough world of choices when you have no plan, because then every decision is equal. But when you have a plan, none of the options is agreeable unless it fits into your plan.
I died not going to my ancestors’ homeland. It meant a lot to me to go, but I never set up a savings account or even bought travel guides. What I now know is that those material things would have made a big difference in manifesting both the time and the money for getting me there. Really! So don’t leave things to chance. Make plans!
Sebastian

If you know someone who has been a joy in your life, I promise that should they die before you, they will still come around if you want them to remain in your life.
As you lie down to sleep and stillness overcomes you, they will appear beside you. Together you will rise and reunite just as before their death, which is a gift to each of you from God. When the morning light returns and you come back into your body, deep inside you’ll know you are never far apart which is why God had you meet in life, in the first place.
Believe in this, specifically this Easter. It’s only possible through Christ’s light body which we each have inside. Christ died so we could have life ever-after, and that’s the body I wear today, my Christ light body.
Thank you for hearing me, and believing in those of us around to help.
Beside you as a friend,
Erin

I’m coming through today because I am grateful for the chance to say how often I’ve wanted to tell more people that when they have the chance in life to travel, do it! It not only carries their spirit to those places and those people, it provides a good opportunity for those people and places to make a mark on your heart that we really are all one people.
It’s a joy to say hello, but now I’m off to let more people on your side feel my influence that it’s good to say yes to broadening your horizons. I died while on vacation, which is just fine with me. I had a smile on my face AND in my heart!
Julian

My goal today is to let your readers understand the nature of their minds. It’s fine that we believe what we are told as children, while we are children, but it’s every bit as important to know that we are capable of so much more.
Prepare yourself to do great things by constantly telling yourself that you are capable of anything you put your mind to. For without your own agreement that you are capable, your strengths and determination can wane with the passing years. Remember, “I’m capable of anything I put my mind to!”
A person of talent and hope,

Of course it’s a dilemma to know what is most important given the opportunity to share ones wisdom from the afterlife, but for me I’d have to say it’s about sharing ones riches.
I don’t mean sharing money, exactly. That’s easy. I mean when you know you have the gift to do something special but play it down or even hide it. While that’s humility, it’s also negligence in the sense of not sharing what’s important.
Model for others what gifts you have so they can aspire to emulate you and even succeed in areas where they thought they had no talent or even interest.
I died tripping over a something in my basement. While it was a quick way to go it made for a lot of work for others since I hadn’t really prepared for my passing. Oh well, it was a gift to come through and I appreciate it a lot.
Tom
P.S. I’m a citizen of the United State of America. I hated being torn down by others in foreign countries for my beliefs that in America all things are possible, but I know it’s true. I know it from the bottom of my heart and send my country my deepest gratitude.
5/2/09
Thank you for letting me come through to let all those reading this know that they are very, very welcome to try to hear us because we want to be of help. Be patient! Eventually you will feel our presence because you will feel guided and assisted. This is very important to many of us.
FRIENDLY ADVICE: Allow others to be leaders, even at those times when perhaps you know more than they do. It’s a gift to them and even to you, because the lesson may be that it’s harder to be a follower with grace, than a leader with admiration and attention.
Fun to be of assistance,

THOR
At last, I’ve gotten to come through! Here goes: After I died from an apparent heart attack I came through to this side realizing how much baggage I had carried around with me. I used to worry and worry about what others thought, so when rumors got started that I was ‘this’ or ‘that’ I took it personally.
Instead, I should have shaken it off as their need to hide behind my light. Why else would someone want to put you down if they weren’t in some way jealous?
I had this particular revelation too late for me, but it’s not too late for you. Never allow others to take you away from knowing that if you’re good enough for God, you’re good enough for them!
If memory serves, we’re all a bit insecure so I hope this changes things for the better.

"Sometimes We Danced Until Dawn!"
I enjoyed life when I was on your side. I liked dancing, especially. Many times my friends and I would go out for the evening just to meet-up with others and go dancing. Sometimes we danced until dawn and boy, we thought we were something special back then!
I made it across to tell you that if ever you’re stuck in traffic or in a long line at the supermarket, tell yourself a story where you come out the hero or the one who wins the lottery. Anything, so long as it has a great outcome for you!
It’s fun but most of all it gives your mind permission to go there in reality. Sometimes your mind isn’t so sure about what you really want, and needs your heart to teach it better and clearer ways to believe in it. This really works. Try it!
Few do it. See to it that YOU DO!

Most people don’t even realize how many decisions they make each day out of fear, but it really adds up. Believe me. I used to gather all my decisions and weigh them out with pluses and minuses like a jury might, and then give into whatever the verdict may be.
Be free of fear. Tell yourself you will make every effort not to make another decision in your life out of fear. I promise you will soon become more and more aware of those opportunities God has put in front of you that are golden, and you will have to say yes because they will have your name written all over them in how wonderful it feels!
A friend for life,

"Love Makes You WANT to Be You!"
It’s a gift to be a parent. I know because when I was young and had my first child I felt that feeling of God inside of me for the first time. It felt like what I said and did was actually important, and so I felt important! Love is like that, you know. You begin to notice how love makes you WANT to be you!
But later when my daughter nearly died, I nearly died as well. I had completely associated my life with hers. Without her I felt worthless. In time we both got better, but I swore to God I would never take my life for granted again. Eventually I became a wonderful human being as well as a loving mother, which ended up being the best gift I could have ever given my daughter: I loved life because of who I was, not only because of who I loved.
Always here to be of help -

"Let Go Of the Idea Of Isolating Yourself"
Here in the afterplane we allow ourselves the chance to go back to our homes and workplaces to revisit who we were, and see how we became the person we were prior to dying. That’s when I saw for myself how seldom my wife and I entertained after we got old, even though we entertained a lot when we were young.
For your sake as well as your family’s, let go of the idea of isolating yourself because you think you can no longer be the kind of host you once were. If it’s a tradition to go to grandma’s for Thanksgiving, don’t stop! Have everyone bring the fixins to her! Even if she’s 85 and frail, let her be the host!
Give that older person another reason to live. Create new memories to take the place of older ones that may not have been so golden.
Creating new memories still –
Nathaniel

"Having A Cup of Coffee"
Hopefully I will be able to come through without difficulty. I remember how hard it was on your side to separate your own thoughts from those of others. Here goes:
When I wanted to know what my mom thought after she died, I used to imagine her sitting across from me having a cup of coffee. While it might have seemed silly to some, it started to open my senses to hearing her. Eventually, I did! I know that now because after I died she congratulated me on having such an easy time hearing her back then, even in times of emotional need.
Believe in sharing time with important loved ones who have crossed over. You’ll be amazed how fast that auditory bridge can be mended!
Lots of heartfelt love,
Allie

"Whether I Should Do This or That??!!"
While average men and women think they know who they are, in truth they seldom know the fullness of who they really are. My wish in communicating wisdom is to express the need for people to take 5 mins. each day to be silent. While it’s a simple request, you’d be surprised how few take that time.
I know, because when I was on your side I had either the television on, the radio on, or I was on my cell phone. Mostly, my thoughts were wrapped around what was happening around me, not in me.
If you take 5 mins. a day to be silent, the voice inside you - which is your world of greatness - will be heard. Once you reach your truer inner self, you’ll never have to ask others their opinions if you should do this or that. You’ll know who you are and what’s important for you!

"The Length of Our Lives"
If each day were numbered in our lives, I’d bet we’d be better human beings. But I guess it’s not God’s plan to let us in on the length of our lives, because when I died it seemed like just an ordinary day except that I didn’t make it over the jumping rope and came down hard. It was terribly painful for my family because I was only 8 years old.
If you knew how many days you had left you’d think twice about being petty or mean. When you die and you see how you spent your life, become the one in a million who decides ahead of time to treat each day like it’s your last…and then make it your best!
A friend now!

"I Could Have Been A Grump!"
I gave up doing things I really liked doing because work took up so much of my time, but the one thing that I never gave up was laughing. Good hard belly laughs! It was one of the best parts of my life, I can tell you now. No matter what came my way, I learned to make a bit of humor out of it which I know was maddening to some serious folks (who’d rather soak in their wine), but for me, a good laugh was just what the child in me needed to stay young.
I died a peaceful death at the ripe old age of 94, though I looked much younger people said. I know now it had everything to do with laughing when I could have been a grump. No thanks. Give me someone who is grumpy and I’ll give you someone who dies before their time. Give me a friend who loves to laugh and I’ll give you a friend who lives until a ripe old age and then just gently slips away. Like me!

"It's So Good to Be Heard Again!"
A bad accident happened to me long ago, but now I’m fine. I just can’t seem to get my parents on your side to know that. What I want to have come through for those reading this is to try to hear your loved one who died if you want them back in your life.
Hearing your loved one on my side is really not hard at all: Be calm; look up (it relaxes your mind); and hold your breath. After a while a small voice in the background will pick up in volume. Soon a word or two will cross your mind that you know you didn’t think for yourself. When that happens, reach for that thread and say, “Tell me more!”
Stay grounded. It’s important. Remember to ask Christ to let you hear your loved one, and then be patient as they start to come through in easy, gentle ways.
It’s so good to be heard again!
Thank you so much,
Tad

ELLA CLAIRE
I grew up in the South where we had the cancerous oppression of racial bigotry. Though I knew it was wrong, I never felt it as a white woman. But when I died and came home - and realized all my dreams were possible but not if you were a person of color – I felt sadly awakened and ashamed. Of course it’s nothing compared to what negroes had to bear, but it’s a shame that still sits with me.
And so today I wish to honor those who fought for all our civil rights in streets across America, as well as those who fought in fields overseas to keep our great nation a place where all dreams of greatness would someday be realized.
Dream the dreams of fame, wealth, and even great love, but never give up the dream of freedom. That is what your spirit most wants as its calling to stay alive.

"Eventually It Will Be Real"
Sometime ago I died from an aneurism. It was quick, I’ll say that much. But it sent me from my body so quickly I didn’t have a moment to think about not being in me anymore. Because of that, I had a longer adjustment period than many others which is why I want to advise people to begin feeling their inner self now. The truth is, learning to feel who you are without your body might only be in your imagination now, but eventually it will be real.
IDEA: Imagine what you might be doing right now if you could. Would you be fishing? How about cooking? Or gardening? When you see it in your mind’s eye, adjustments start to happen that can reverse the damage of physical paralysis as well as mental limitations, because the body’s desire to move - without the confinements of the mind - will lead. Free yourself. Get started now!
Thanks for hearing my idea -

"It Keeps You Bonded Between This Life and the Next"
Pachelbel’s Canon in D is one of my favorite pieces of music. I used to sit and listen to it as a child in my grandmother’s kitchen. As we ate graham crackers and talked about our day, it played in the background. Somehow though as the years passed and my grandmother got too old to live alone, I saw her less and less.
Before she died, however, I took her hand, looked into her eyes, and told her as clearly as I could that my memories of her kitchen with the music and the crackers were the best part of my childhood. I saw in her eyes too that she felt that way as she patted my hand.
I wanted to tell you about this because someday when you die you’re going to go with that one person you cherish from the bottom of your heart. For me it meant I got to go with my grandmother. As soon as I came free from my body there she was, but this time with her hand out to me.
Tell people who have made a difference in your life how much those memories mean to you. It keeps you bonded between this life and the next, which means so much when it’s time to say goodbye…and then hello again!
Thanks for the gift of hearing me -

"It's a Miracle Blessing"
To forgive someone is the single greatest gift you can give or receive. We don’t know that when we’re on your side because we think if we’re not holding a grudge that’s enough. But it’s not. Not really. Giving forgiveness: To let a person know that they’re forgiven gives them the opportunity to feel free from a sadness that may be deep within, but they’ve never known why.
When I was young I did things I later regretted. I prayed about it which helped, but didn’t know I should try to see (in my thoughts) the faces of those people I hurt and ask them for forgiveness. Receiving forgiveness: I now know it would have freed me from my shame so much sooner. I gave up on myself too soon. I pray you never do. Ask for forgiveness and give it freely, as well. It’s a miracle blessing, to be sure!

"We Can See Your Eyes Change"
I would like to share my wish that people take the time to hear messages from those of us on my side. We know you hear us deep inside (even though you don’t think you do), because we can see your eyes change as you consider what you’re hearing.
We want to be of help, but we’re not here to be your moral compass. So if you choose to do silly or stupid things, that’s your free will. We won’t interfere. But if you’re trying to do the right thing but aren’t aware of what’s up ahead, without a doubt you’ll hear from one of us.
Minutes before I fell off a tractor and died, I had a strong feeling of caution come over me. But at fourteen I thought nothing of it. Be wiser. Listen!

"Profound!"
Commitment to what it is you want to do is the single greatest force for making it happen that there is. I know. I wanted to become a physician when I was young, so as I got older I listened to physicians to hear how they did it. Most of them worked hard, that's for sure, but many of the really gifted physicians were those who really took the time to listen to their patients. After a while I knew this was the career I would go into, and with my sights set on it I did it!
Coming through today is a joy. I never would have believed it was possible when I was on your side, but then learning to listen was something I had to learn to do for myself. Who knew if we listened inside we could hear through the veil. Profound! So make a commitment to what it is you’re intent on achieving, and then stay focused. It will happen!

"Shine!"
If I were back on your side I think I would learn to take more time doing ordinary things. Really. I mean...we rush our meals, hurry our prayers, take no time at all when listening to friends, and worst of all, make little or no effort to be good in how we talk with ourselves.
I pray each of you reading this will take time each day to really taste your food, hear your friends, talk with God, and say kind things to yourselves. When I crossed over I made a prayer and a promise to God that if ever I got the chance to encourage people, I would. Now, go be good to yourselves and shine!

"Freedom From the Ordinary"
In average homes one doesn’t often talk about things that are phenomenal or out of the ordinary. But when I grew up I got to. I had parents who believed in special powers belonging to God; to Christ. It helped me believe that if it’s God’s plan for something extraordinary to happen, against all odds it will.
I’m certain this helped me throughout my life - maybe more than I will ever know - because it provided me a place to accept God’s miracles. When a person does that, it’s like opening a door that is freedom from the ordinary. After that, what you might call ‘circumstantial coincidences’ kept happening over and over because God’s touch was keeping me on track.
My life was deeply fulfilling. I hope this helps yours be as well!
Always a friend -

"They Will Come for You"
After I died I saw how many people on your side seem lonely. Deeply lonely. Perhaps what they don’t know that may be of value is that they are never alone. Never! After you are born, you are given an angel or guide who is with you all the time. This being is a gift to you from God, to help you make your way through difficult times.
Ask your guide to be present in your life. While that does not mean you will see them, you will see and feel the impact of their presence as they give you their best help and unconditional love.
Become a friend to your guide. After you die and come home, they will come for you. Within seconds you will know who they are and feel their importance.
Stay connected to your guide –

"Gaining Financial Freedom"
After I died I felt afraid for the first few minutes since I had never really heard of the bright white light, but after it came for me I knew my worries and illnesses were over. I stood in that light and felt uplifted and beloved!
Now I hope to give back some of that love by sharing with you what I know about releasing the worry of financial indebtedness by gaining financial freedom: hold your hands in front of you, palms up, and ask Christ to put the light of financial freedom into your hands.
Bless your hands with the genuine goodness of the light of love. Money should be a blessing that comes without strings attached. With Christ’s help, it can!
Many hugs,

"Separate From Your Pain"
To lie in bed awake with arthritis pain for hours was, unfortunately, normal for me in my later years. One night, however, I sort of conditioned myself ahead of time by asking God to release me from my pain. Amazingly, I came out of my body and even saw myself from above, though I hadn't died. I just released from my pain.
I’m sharing this because if you are experiencing mental, physical or emotional pain, pray that God releases you from it. From that night on my pain decreased. Even more amazingly, my ability to hear increased!
Give God a chance to help you separate from your pain. It’s like shedding an old skin that was never really right to begin with and needs to be released.

"From My Vantage Point"
I want to relate to folks that once you die you never have to come back to the life that wore you out. But, you are invited to come back to the better parts of your life. I never knew that before I died. I just thought when you died you closed your eyes and showed-up somewhere in the clouds or something. Boy was I surprised when I found out I still got to be active in my family’s life from this side.
Did you know you can ask us to do most anything that helps you achieve good things? It’s not an imposition on us at all. Of all the things we get to do over here, nothing means more than helping get things going in the right direction for our loved ones on your side.
I regret not asking for help when I was on your side; not from any living friend and certainly not from deceased ones. Now I see from my vantage point how much difference that help would have made. It’s proper to ask. Most of all it’s important. Be sensible and get the help you need!

"Make Peace With Your Body"
audio
Hi. My name is Gloria. I struggled with my bodyweight when I was younger, ultimately adding pounds each year. I now know that the more I struggled with my weight, the more the pounds came at me with a vengeance.
Over here I found out that had I told my body that we need peace, I wouldn’t have added on so many pounds. It seems I had been putting on the weight of my ancestors (to survive famines, etc.), so I was warring against my DNA instead of making peace by thanking my ancestors for learning how to stay alive.
For those who talk to their bodies negatively, it’s like trying to climb a slippery mountain never reaching the top. But when you send your body messages of peace, it’s like having a sturdy staircase to climb as you escalate the summit.
This is true. Given how many of you are paying the penance for the DNA of your starving ancestors, I hope you will try to make peace with your body.
Gloria, a friend

"Reaching Through the Past"
A child of mine was born when I was only eighteen, but he was stillborn. I suffered heavily for many years, too many to count, because I could only imagine who he might have become.
After death I broke off from my body still wondering about my deceased son. I wandered around for a millisecond looking for him, but because I couldn’t find him my suffering felt like an eternity. Had I prayed before my death for God to allow me to skip the death of my son and escort me to the life of my son, I would have easily transitioned.
Right now my son, Donny, is beside me as I come through to ask you to reach for your living loved ones. It heals your mind as well as your heart. If you keep reaching through the past you’ll die apart from the life of love you were supposed to have; apart from the life of love your loved ones deeply want you to live. Don’t let that happen to you. Choose ‘life’ on both sides of the veil!

"My Favorite Meal of the Day!"
Breakfast was my favorite meal of the day! That’s when my family always ate together. No matter what, breakfast was planned around the earliest person’s day.
Every morning we made it to the table full of conversation, determination and enthusiasm about what we each had planned for the day. Even as we inhaled our food, we had time to offer encouragement to one another.
Our time together gave me more than just what I wanted, food for the day, it gave me what I needed, hope for the day.
Stay enthusiastic about life!

"An Angel at the Foot of My Bed"
Only once did I put God first when I was afraid. It was when I was a child. I saw something scary in my room one night and quickly asked God for help. When I did, I began to see the amazing glow of an angel at the foot of my bed. It was my guardian angel!
I wish I had done more of that throughout my life, but I fought the feeling as I got older. I thought I must have dreamed it, or it was just wishful thinking. Now I know it wasn’t. My heart AND mind accepted God’s willingness to help, and so it was delivered.
Fear nothing. Allow God to open many doors to your world of joy. It will be a joyful journey to the destination of peace and love. Fear nothing. Let go and let God!
Personally grateful for this chance to come through,
Abigail

"God's Green Earth"
Growing up was not easy. I came from a family of indigents living in squalor. We had what you might call a minus tide at our feet as things were pulled from us.
Believe in a plus tide. Believe that God will deliver great resources and opportunities to advance your dreams in order that you will advance the dreams of others as well. For how we receive God’s gifts is how we offer God’s gifts to others. It’s a circle of influence awarded to those who want to be influential leaders in the name of God’s green Earth.
Live to give! Giving causes receiving. Come home into the land of milk and honey!

"Life As a Very Happy Child!"
A fun thing to try each morning is to hum a tune that you probably haven’t thought of since childhood. The reason is it helps your mind start the day without all the filling-up things that adult life brings.
I began life as a very happy child, but after a long illness in my twenties I ended up a serious adult. Too serious. Once I started humming, so much turned around for the better that I don’t know where to start. Hum to your heart’s delight and wear your smile inside and out all day long!

"Put Your Foot Down!"
Cowards and daydreamers are not always so different. They talk themselves into and out of things constantly instead of making up their minds to do what they know needs to be done. Though it’s hard, one just needs to be brave.
Put your foot down and do what you already know is right. If you do, I promise you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the outcome. The time is now. Be brave! With courage comes the patience to remain steadfast in doing what’s right.

'"Together You Can Move a Mountain "
After the death of my son at birth, I knew my life was going to go downhill. My wife and I had hoped for children for many years, and were overjoyed with his arrival. Friends and family tried to help, but we were buried in sorrow.
It wasn’t until we joined a group of others who, like us, knew of our pain, did we begin to heal. We saw in their eyes, heard in their voices, and felt in our hearts that they too wanted to heal - while keeping their love alive – but didn’t know how to make both happen. With their help, it did.
I implore anyone reading this to join a group of others who are in your same shoes regardless what the challenge is. Be grateful, because together you can move a mountain.

"Don't Go Down That Same Road"
There are too many people with too many things from big cars to even bigger houses. I was one of those people, I confess. I couldn’t get enough of whatever it was that was hot or hip. I just had to have it! While it felt fun at first, I later learned how much harm I was doing to my own mind as I accumulated stuff.
Learn to get rid things you don’t use. Get them out the door! Before long you’ll see that you need less and feel better!
After I died I looked at my house as a place of ‘things’ more than memories. I remember that unfortunate feeling and hope you don’t go down that same road. It’s not worth it. Minimize what you own. Maximize what you do!

"Dark Clouds Breaking Open"
After I died I felt for the first time the true meaning of Christmas: giving! It happened when God showed me my life in retrospect. I felt for the first time the power of my love when I made a special effort to smile at people. That’s when I gave unconditional love. What a miracle!
In this season of hope, my wish is that you include the gift of smiling more often. It’s like dark clouds breaking open to allow the sunshine through. It heals the heart! Give the greatest gift of your love to all mankind: smile more and be HEALED!
Merry Christmas!

"My New Year Wish for Those With Addictions"
Gambling was an addiction I had on your side. I thought it was fun, but before I knew it greed took over. I knew I had a problem but didn’t want to admit it until I came home into The Light. That’s when I learned that had I prayed while pressing my hands together I could pull in The Spirit of Love, and release the addiction.
My New Year wish for those with addictions: pray for The Spirit of Love to come into you as your press your palms together. It is a joy and a gift for those who believe in miracles!
Happy New Year!
