All I have seen teaches me to trust the Creator for all I have not seen. -- Ralph Waldo Emerson
Those of you who know me will know 3 things.
1. I believe in Angels
2. I am amazed that Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote (quite a while ago) beliefs that are not confined to mainstream religion and yet touch many of the beliefs that I have.
3. You know my beliefs on the Creator.
So with those three things in mind let me tell you what this quote means to me...it means that if we can see and appreciate the world around us, then imagine what is laying beneath this magnificent surface.
A lot of new age writing touches on the unseen, imagining or visualising your life as you want it to be. I have tried to quite my mind enough to visualise my perfect life into reality, you all know how that turned out. But this evenings quote is actually saying to me, WOW just look at what we DO have around us right now, rain bringing life back into dehydrated trees, grass and flowers. Family who love us, and whom we love. Friends, who care and help because they want to without any repayment. The ability to help those friends because we can and because we want to without any repayment. A roof over our heads, jobs to go to. Things to see, places to go. So let us just reflect a moment on what the Creator (yourself) has brought into your life and vow today to change the negative, and be truly appreciative for the positive for by refelcting on the positive we are bringing more positive into our lives. By ignoring the negative we are then eliminating it from our lives.
In love and light

Death and Taxes
Well it's been a while since I decided to share my views with anyone but myself, as picking up a pen and scribbling down pages and pages at a time seems a lot easier than sitting here at this computer.
I have completed the training I chatted about earlier and have a really great term time job. BUT! I have also recently read Paul McKenna's Change your life in 7 days and must admit that while it's nothing I have not read elsewhere before, I did the exercises and listened to the CD and I rediscovered something about myself... I am not passionate about anything!
The old slogan that if you do something you love, you'll never really work is true - but what if - LIKE ME - there is nothing that sufficiently inspires you to greatness. I have made a list of the things that matter in my life and while they all revolve around my family and friends, there is nothing that I am passionate about. Having said that though, there is lots that I love, but nothing that I would consider myself passionate about. I love my children and thought that doing something in childcare would fill the hole. It hasn't! I then thought that working with special needs children would fill the hole and it hasn't, that doesn't mean however that I am sorry I work with special needs children, quite the contrary as I am amazed and inspired everyday by their perseverance and determination to do things you and I may take for granted. But I do sometimes feel that there is something missing.
I think the problem is that I really want to make a difference and sometimes it seems that I am just plodding along day to day and it's hard to make a difference just plodding.
I don't know if I have mentioned this before but I am a clairsentient, this means that I am very perceptive and intuitively know what people are feeling. I am also considerably empathetic, so I consulted my Angel Cards (not condoned by the church attend) for guidance as to my life purpose. The guidance I have been given is to take back my power, work with children or animals and definitely get closer to nature. Incidentally this was almost the same message I received when trying to decide whether to embark on my childcare training.
I have an idea that I could be an author, I enjoy writing and have loads and loads of stuff I have written, but am I passionate about the idea? No, would I sacrifice time and effort on writing a book? NO and I have 2 attempts on this computer right now to prove it.
I also have an idea that I would like to do bereavement counciling as I have worked in an old folks home where palliative care was given, I am also the parent of a deceased child and so could totally sympathise with other parents, my problem here is not whether I am prepared to sacrifice a year of my life (or 8 months at a push) to complete a course but where am I going to find the money for the course? And so back to square 1 because I am not going to sacrifice the small amount of time I have with my children to WORK another job to pay for a course that's going to take up a huge amount of time.
What I am really trying to say is.... "I wish everything was as certain as Death and Taxes."
