Dearest One: I am your angel. I am your best friend, the one who loves you more than you love yourself...I am your teacher, your guide, your mentor, your soul mate. I am with you every second of every day whether you are awake or asleep. I am your daydreams and your night meanderings. I speak and only you can hear my voice. I remain deep within the silence of your self. I applaud your every effort and grieve with you when you are hurt. Nothing in this world is more important to me than you. You are everything. I exist to love you and to help you to love yourself. I will always be with you. Call me anytime. I hear. I care. I love you. Trust me and I will teach you to trust yourself. I will never leave you sweet friend. I will always understand for I am the spirit of forgiveness...you need never apologize. I know the whole truth about you, even the truths you have yet to discover. I am your cheerleader, your disciple, your partner. I am your dream-self, your best self, your highest self. I am you in your natural state of grace. Life is a proving ground - your opportunity to discover that we are bound in this existence as one entity, one perfect self, boundless energy in the form of love. You are love and love's channel. Together we will cast out fear and doubt. My faith in you never waivers and united we are moving toward a myriad of lights. You are the explorer of your own life and I am your constant companion from this moment forward. The adventure has just begun. Feel comfort in the knowledge that I exist inside your heart and mind and soul. My letters will remind you that peace and serenity are your only goals - that joy belongs in your life. You have the power to make more elegant choices. Remember that I love you. I will give you roots and wings. Your body will remain grounded on the earth but your spirit will fly with me to places beyond your wildest imaginings.

My Love: You ask why I am here and I can only respond that I have always been with you...observing...loving...learning. Everyone has an angel inside though we are often unable to commune this directly. My earlier interaction with you has always appeared to be your inner voice, your intuition, your conscience. I am perpetually aware of each breath you take and my purpose is to love you, love you, love you. Through my example you must learn to love yourself. Through loving yourself, you will learn to love the universe and all that exists within. The idea of writing you letters came to me recently because you have become so thoughtful and introspective. I know you value each insight. I know you search for meaning in all things. My messages are a new form of intercourse which will help you to hold on to new insights and digest their meaning rather than continue to experience fleeting glimpses into the why of all things. I know how frustrated you become. You sense an awakening at the very edge of your consciousness. You cannot seem to find your answer before the passage of time or an interruption in your life changes your focus. I have watched over you ever since your conception and love the person you have become. You care deeply about others...in fact about all of humanity and I regard countless selfless acts on your sheet of records over the years. You have evolved in this lifetime to the status of teacher - one who shows others. These letters will serve as a tool to help you complete your life's task. There are many humans who walk this world head and shoulders above the others. Their lives are not unlike other people's but their reaction to life is very different. You are one of these extraordinary ones. Your learning is not yet over and many new teachers will come you way to help you gain deeper insights. I am your angel and your master teacher. You are my beloved. Write to me if you wish - crystallize your thoughts but know that it is not necessary. I know your musings and dreams long before they arrive in your conscious mind. I am your best self.

Sweet Friend: What joy to share your moment of glory! I am so proud of your success today. I am sure you never thought it would happen but you and I know that good things are bound to come in time provided we fulfil the conditions. Well, you certainly did it this time! It takes what it takes and now you can bask in the sunshine of this sweet success. I cannot help smiling. My joy is unbounded when I see you so happy. Now, remember to keep on keeping on. This is not the time to rest nor is it the time to fall back. Mediocrity is a demon that beckons for that is the safe playground for the masses. You are standing out, standing up and although your comfort zone is probably stretched beyond endurance, wouldn't it be just great to discover what else you can do? I can hardly wait for tomorrow. You fascinate and enchant me. I spend my best moments watching your success with all the pride of a beloved parent. I want to take home movies....I want to tell everyone that you are my special someone. I want to write your name in the sky...to shout from the highest mountaintop. If there were a Nobel Prize for this - YOU would certainly be this year's recipient. What an honour! Way to go! Let's plan some great reward - a special something to remind us of this accomplishment although I must say, the memory of this moment in your life will never fade for me. I am the keeper of your memories. I record your dreams on a mystic scroll and I watch with breathless anticipation as you achieve your goals. I know your future. I see you accepting awards, waving at parades, getting standing ovations...your life is unfolding exactly as it should.

My Love, I am the beating of your heart. I am the blood rushing through your veins. I am your muscle and fibre and thought. I am your immune system. We are a-life (alive), you and I together and the only thing missing some days is trust. Trust me my love. You are destined to be healthy and strong and free of pain. No one outside can hurt or help. We are responsible for the belief system under which we function and we must respond to the dis-ease of the body and mind. Do your part. Take care. Eat perfect food for your perfect body. Guard your thoughts lest they take you down a dark path. Use any and all resources available to you but know that deep down only you know what is best for you. Listen to the voice within. I am that voice and I will whisper words of encouragement and healing while you sleep. Your body was made to serve you well and it works perfectly without any coaching from outside sources. Still, remember God only helps those who help themselves so begin to work your body until all movement is effortless. I will be your medicine. Each night I will flow through your veins - your personal crusader for justice and I will drive the enemy out. I am a little bird and I will gently groom each unwanted particle from every infinitesimal cell until your body works in perfect harmony once more. Tomorrow, you will wake up refreshed and feeling better than you did today. Trust me and trust yourself. I will give you the courage to carry on and together we will triumph. Listen as I serenade you with this joyful song of healing. Believe, my love. Believe. I will row, row, row your boat gently down the stream. We will laugh and dance and float and dream. We know things are never exactly as they seem. Surrender your illness and trust me as I preen.

My Lonely One: Although I am with you every moment, I recognize your feelings of separation. Someone like you needs to be hugged and loved. You should wake up to a thousand kisses. If everyone knew the sweetness inside of you, you would be touched and caressed from morning 'til night. I love to be with you. There is no one I would rather spend time with. You are the most interesting, amazing, unique friend. You are so generous, loving and caring. How sad that so many people in your life have no idea of the depth of your soul! I watch you go about your daily life and am completely absorbed...fascinated by your work, your friends, your family and your accomplishments. The truth is you seldom have time to be alone and I think this is the reason for your loneliness right now. What I wish is that you could see yourself as I do....you would want to be your own best friend. You would begin to treasure your alone time above all other moments because it is only then that you can be with you. Look inside sweetheart. Release the pain. Listen to your thoughts and enjoy your memories. Dream some new dreams and plan tomorrow. You are the architect of your life and what you build begins within. Think beautiful thoughts and that is what you will harvest. Value the silence. Drift inside the peace between sleeping and waking and remember. You have a destiny waiting. Be my constant companion, my heartbeat, my dearest one. Please do not be lonely. Perhaps a living and loving creature might help you through these dark moments. Something or someone to share your life....another soft warm beating heart to remind you of how much you are loved. Consider sharing your days. Affirm your life. You need to give your love and touches and feel your love reciprocated.

Good Morning Dear Heart: I have been worried about your resistance to change. The universe has been illustrating cycles and transformations throughout all time. I have enjoyed watching you marvel at the varied colours of Autumn and the first blossoms of Springtime. Your children are transforming as they grow up. They were such delightful babies full of sweetness and innocence. Today they are growing full of promise and enthusiasm for life. You have lived in different houses and have traveled in diverse parts of the world. You drove a different car not very long ago and you enjoy contrast in your friendships. Change is the cornerstone of all that makes life interesting and challenging. Change requires growth, patience, acceptance, and curiosity. Change is only frightening when it is new. When we become comfortable with a recent change it becomes what we most want to hold on to...in fact it becomes the reason we resist another something new. You have such an adventurous spirit. I love the pioneer in you and am astounded by your ability to shape your life like an artist with her clay. If you did not welcome change in your past, your life would be devoid of the sweet memories of how it used to be. If your life had remained exactly the same you might not even be aware of the passage of time. Time is interpreted as a sequence of events one after the other. Which event are you enjoying for this moment? Your life is defined by a series of opposites too: youth-old age; birth-death; health-illness; wealth-poverty; joy-sadness; isolation-company and so on. Change is the necessary ingredient that will catapult you from one circumstance to its mirror state. Change is essential for you and I to experience the fullness of life. I love you dear heart and beg you to trust that your life is not finished. Embrace this next change. Love your days and enjoy the newness of this experience. I am inside waiting to hear your laughter and your joy as you welcome what the world longs to provide. I applaud your most courageous self.

Dearest One: I feel your sadness. Such a huge disappointment would crush anyone and my only hope is that knowing that I am here with you will help lessen the ache in your heart. I cried too when I saw you all alone with your grief. I wanted to gather you up in my arms like a small child and hold you tenderly. I watched you sleep last night after so many hours of wakefulness. I kissed your brow three times. I placed healing hands upon your breast and concentrated on drawing all the pain away. I know you will wake up tomorrow and the day will seem brighter. You did not deserve this hurting experience and my only comfort is the knowledge that you will gather some strength from it and move closer to your best self. Others would have given up...thrown in the towel...cried out in bitter frustration. How I admire your courage! You are one of a kind, a rare individual from whom others will learn much. You are amazing...the best of the best! Don't worry about this any more. Move on and know that your good is yet to come. The world waits to applaud you. Each day that passes will provide healing. Each night I will love you softly and lessen your pain. I will never leave you. When your earth days are finally finished, you will be an angel too. Together we will float and soar into the greatest experience of your imaginings. I will be your angel guide and I will take you where you have always been destined to go. You will never be alone again my dear. Love, Your Angel 8 My Child: Did you ever imagine how much impact you have had on other people's lives? You practice random acts of kindness and the universe is slowly accumulating your good. Every single day you touch the lives of others in some significant way and I admire how you never want anyone to know of your kindness. Sometimes, when one discovers that you are the source, you pass the credit to another rather than enjoy the moment of praise. What an amazing person you are! There is no where else I would rather be than inside your heart and mind. I love my life because the joy in my days is reflected in the happiness you spread everywhere you go. I am your angel and my only concern in this life is to watch over you. I enjoy seeing others call you their angel, the good samaritan who made a difference in their lives. There is a bright white light shining inside you. I am at the center of your thoughts late at night when you are drifting between waking and sleep. I celebrate with you as we recount the good you did today and I smile at the exhilaration you bring into your own life. Did you ever know you were a hero? Can you just imagine what they will say about you one day when we are gone? Your life is a celebration of goodness and sweetness. Did you ever wonder why your life is punctuated with joyful moments? It is you fulfilling the condition. You are the source of your own joy and I salute your much deserved happiness this day.

Sweet Friend: This is a day for new beginnings. Rise early and sit on the beach in the sand. Be very quiet in the darkness and notice the millions of lights from the stars and from the rising moon. Look out towards the horizon and wait for the sun to rise up over the water. Watch the cascading rays of colour skim and dance across the surface of the sea. While you wait, remember. Remember to thank the universe for all the good in your life and feel the gratitude wash over you as you listen to the waves caress the shore. At first light, stand and stretch. Salute the sun and walk into the ocean. Face the sun and float while you sort out that jumble of thoughts that have plagued you over the past few weeks. Let them all go. Let them move out of you and away with the warm current underneath. Allow the sun's rays to evaporate any physical or emotional pain from your body and surrender to the perfection of nature and this moment. Let me enjoy this experience with you dear friend and let us imagine together some awesome thoughts. Just think. If all matter in the universe is a varied mass of vibrating molecules separated by space, is it possible that as we float here in this soundless sea, the molecules of the ocean water and all life suspended within and the molecules of our skin are intermingling at this very moment? Could that be the reason for this certain feeling that you and I are the ocean? Are we part of everything we have ever touched in this world? If we see the world as beautiful, is it because part of the beauty within you and me has become an intrinsic part of what we see? When your body finally becomes dust, remember this. Seeds sprout from the dust and grow into great trees which breathe their tree molecules into the air. This air exchanges with the molecules of the ocean.....the very ocean which is becoming part of you and me as we float here early on this perfect morning. A life force exists and is part of all things. I am. You are. I am what you are. You are all that I am.

My Shadow Self: You wonder what I look like and I long to help you to see me in the shape and form that you choose. Look in a pool of still water and I am the reflection there - a perfect replica of your beauty. I am a child of God, sweet in my innocence and wise beyond eternity. I am powerful and strong and awesome. My face is your face, smooth and serene. I reflect your beauty. I can become anyone you choose and I change at a moment's notice. Shall I be your father, old and grey just as you remember him before he left you the last time? When you were small and long before you knew I existed inside your heart, you imagined a white unicorn grazing in a field of flowers. I gave you comfort in your youth and I will reassure you now. I love your imagination more than anything else and I have shared your fantasies. What would you dream me to be my love? How should I look in your mind's eye to provide you with the most comfort and peace? Am I the princess from your childhood fairy tales or am I the gallant hero? Shall I be maternal love, a perfect likeness of your mother....her sweet face remembered from sometime past. Allow me to take shape and form in your mind. I remain a constant source of strength for you. You are my whole purpose...You are all I ever think about...You give me joy. I love loving you now and forever. We are one, you and I and I am the expression of your highest self. Love me and you love the best of all that makes you so special. I am your shadow... your inside-out. As you learn to love me, you will learn to love yourself.

My Love: My love you seem so tired. I am worried when you push yourself. Today it is time to stop. Stop racing and running and trying so hard to be everything to everyone. You are exhausted and you must take care of yourself today. It is a day to renew and gather your strength knowing that there will be countless tomorrows to conclude the business left over by today's indiscretion. Shower and while you stand in the hot fresh spray, allow the fatigue to wash away with the remains of sleep. Wash your hair and feel the clean fresh stream pour over your skin. Stay as long as you need to and enjoy the moment. Dress comfortably and go outside. Find a quiet special place where you can be one with nature. Embrace the soft wind and the swaying leaves. Gaze upward into an ever changing sky and marvel once more at the beauty you find there. Breathe deeply and close your eyes...lie back and allow your imagination to keep seeing the exquisite beauty all around. Fill your mind with gratitude and count your blessings. When you have finished, empty your mind of hurried thoughts. If an idea tries to make its way back into your head, gently send it away for this is a time of renewal...of receiving. If you are quiet enough, God will speak to us and we will remember our purpose here. Wait for the message but do not be in a hurry. Listen to my voice and I will tell you all the things you long to hear. I proclaim my undying love for you and I speak of endless compliments for your life to date. I am your greatest fan and I see all the good in you even that which is yet to become reality. Today is a day of becoming. You are not a human being...you are a human becoming...becoming whole...a holy one. You can feel your impending sainthood this morning as you sit quietly under the shade trees. You watch the birds swoop and soar and you know that your spirit is soaring there too. Float on wings of love and watch the afternoon sun move toward evening shadows. You make a new commitment to your self and you enjoy this time alone. Fatigue is dissipating now. Let go. Let the pain in your heart from past wrongs waft softly into the breeze. Let the pain in your body seep out and be absorbed by the warm earth below. Sink inside yourself and come to me sweet friend. I kiss your brow and gently caress your face. I lay with you in the grass and share your moment of peace. There is no duty today, nor pressure to do or be anything at all. The very fact that you exist is enough. You are enough. You are more than I dreamed in my wildest imaginings - there are no words to tell you how special you are at this moment. Beloved one...stay here and rest until the sun goes down and I will become the bright star that comforts you tonight.

Angel Beloved: Today is a new beginning...a chance to start anew. Do you remember that moment when you felt you had failed? You have never failed in my eyes. You have only tried the challenge on a day when you were not fully prepared. You were too tired, too angry, too hungry to be equipped to prove your amazing abilities. You could not succeed under such circumstances and you lost faith in yourself. I have never lost confidence in you my love. You can do anything you set your mind to...you can be and have your wildest desires. This time the world waits and watches with breathless anticipation. What is it that you need to have in order to be happy? Can you define that experience that has eluded you to date? There is a wonderful dream waiting just for you...I know you can make it come true! Are you ready this time? Are you willing to pay the price in full for a reward that longs to come to you? I can hardly contain my excitement knowing that you are about to change your life again for the better. You deserve happiness and you know that happiness is an inside job. Be patient my love and know that it takes what it takes. Time will go by before your dream will come true but the joy you will feel will be greatest while you are still anticipating the special moment to come. True joy is in the journey. If you approach an ending, it will only be a new beginning tomorrow. Stretch beyond your present comfort zone and know that you will succeed. You can always do at least as well or better than you did the time before. Prepare, practice, plan and perform. The house lights are up and the audience which is your whole world is waiting for this...your starring role...your peak performance....your moment of glory. Your life is so exciting I can hardly stand it. I am filled with an indescribable joy that threatens to bubble into laughter across the universe. How fortunate am I to be the observer of your life...the I in you. I Am Your Angel

Darling: You are taking things way too seriously and your pain is almost self induced. Please release the intensity of your strong self and let me help guide you through this dilemma. Remember that most moments of apparent crisis are small issues in the greater scheme of things. It's all in the focus. What you focus on becomes larger than life. Change your focus and you release yourself. Here is a prison of your own making and the bars that hold you captive are just thoughts after all. Sometimes it helps to play a game and exchange your life with someone less fortunate. Suddenly, the dimensions change and you cannot feel the same any longer. Other times, it helps to think about the good in your life and to be overwhelmed with gratitude for what is right. Suddenly it is easier to face what is wrong and to discover a way of making appropriate corrections. I admire your strength and your desire for making your life as sweet and smooth as possible. You solve problems and find solutions when others would prefer to complain or cry. You are an action person and you do all the things that need to be done by you right now. You never procrastinate or choose to live with less if there is a better option. Life is supposed to be beautiful, an experience of pure joy and selflessness. Part of your purpose here is to love and be love's channel. Remember why you are here and let go of the small day to day stuff that you know is meaningless. Focus. Only you know what is right for you. I trust you implicitly to make the right decision today once you remember your real purpose. Listen to the still small voice within.

My Friend: You are such an excellent decision maker. You are definite and steady and you always know what is best for you. I am in awe when I count the resolutions you make in an ordinary day. Thousands and thousands of choices shape your destiny and create a frame for each day. I never feel the need to intervene when you are making judgments because you are so good at this aspect of your life. You are not an ordinary person. You live an extraordinary life. I only want to remind you of the difference between common choices and the ones that colour your life. You choose what to eat, what to wear, where to live, when to wake, who to live with, what colour to decorate, what to drive, ad infinitum. What ever you choose is right for you. It's the choices that are affected by your emotions more than intellect that can cause some pain. I grieve for you when you choose to focus on a painful memory rather than on a joyful moment. I worry when you choose to defend yourself for defense is justification to your accuser. I would rather see you searching for deeper understanding of those who would harm you. I know you know all this and I have watched you make right decisions over and over again. One of the most amazing qualities about you is your ability to make your own choices and still see the rightness in the preference other people may make even if these actions would seem foreign to you. Your open minded attitude and your sweet acceptance of other people makes you all the dearer to me. How did you ever become so strong and supportive? Where did you learn the countless lessons of life? Today I want you to remember how special you are. You are the king of our kingdom and I will always be loyal to the royal inside you. Your angel wishes you long life, happy days and perfect choices.

Dearest One: Your anger and disappointment are both understandable. It is so frustrating when others do not live up to our expectations especially after all you have done out of love and kindness. It just isn't fair when life deals such hurtful blows for no apparent reason. Still, my love for you grows as I watch you struggle with this new pain...how I admire your genuine caring and sensitive nature. I would like to help you through this new crisis and erase the troubled line above your brow. Sweet friend know this. What happened occurred for a variety of reasons and none of the reasons has anything to do with you so please do not take this hurt so personally. Forgiveness and understanding are two of your most noble qualities. I would encourage you to draw upon the strength of these innate qualities one more time so that you can feel peace again. Let go dear heart. Love and be love's channel. Turn your negative emotions into sympathy. If you consider your own life, you will recall some moments when you behaved badly...it was not your nature to do so but we each have many selves inside. At that time you allowed a lesser self to display and disappoint another. The very real pain you felt when you realized how wrong you were was translated into heartfelt apologies and an attempt to make amends. Still, you would have given anything to erase that moment from your life. Perhaps you gained the forgiveness of those you had wronged...the real issue was to receive forgiveness from yourself. You are a hard taskmaster....a person who believes in tough love and you would not let yourself off the hook until you had suffered greatly. One of the great truths of the universe is the fact that we can only treat others exactly at the same level as we are able to treat ourselves. Your greatest lesson in life has been to learn to forgive yourself so that you would be able to be gracious and forgive others. Let this go right now. Let the dark feelings ease away and fill your spirit with sweet light and understanding. Remember you need never tolerate wrongs by another but it is essential that you forgive their mistakes - even if you have been a victim in the process. Your only choice now is to decide whether to stay or to move on; however, what ever you do, do it with grace and forgiveness. You will know in your heart what is right. It may be time to move on. Some relationships are experiences that we must grow through. Once the lessons are learned, we need to let go of these people with love. Perhaps this is your best course this time. My only wish for you is inner peace, a quiet serenity even during the storm. Be well my love and know that I am there.

Little One: Today is a day to celebrate your oneness with nature. Slow down now and take time to see your world and to discover the flawlessness of living things. Walk into the woods and search for the perfect flower. Discover a forget-me-not and marvel at its faultless design, its sweet scent, its moist and divinely coloured petals. Hold it in your hand and experience the miracle. Slowly allow your attention to return to the field surrounding you. Do you see it? Another lovely flower growing there just to the left of the path...a small wild iris, purple and white with velvet green leaves that feel like satin in your hands. Perfection twice within a few moments and you have hardly begun to look! It won't take long for you to discover the truth...every flower in the field is impeccable. You may have a preference depending upon colour, scent, size or design. Focus your attention upon another aspect of nature. Do you hear the brook near the forest edge? Go there and begin to gather stones. Look for the most exquisite rock - the one you would like to keep just as a memory of this day. You find a small smooth pebble, spotted in shades of grey, white and ebony. This one is it! Before you can experience the feeling of having completed the task, you notice another small stone - rusty-green in colour with tiny specks of flashing gold. Surely this is more beautiful than the first. You place both in the palm of your hand and note after long moments of contemplation that each is beautiful, neither is better, only different. Lay back in the sweet scented grass and look up into the blue sky. The leaves overhead filter the light and you are cool in the protective shadows. First you notice the sound...a chirping song so beautiful that your eyes cannot find the source. You see it now! A tiny brown and red speckled bird, its feathers smooth and sleek, its beak black shining. He sings his heart out as if saluting the sun. There is a peace that comes with this discovery and you close your eyes a moment to rest and enjoy his song. When you wake, you detect what at first looks like a blemish in the perfect sky...a hawk circling above in search of dinner. You marvel at this powerful creature and glance into the branches to see if your small bird is still there. He is. Perfection is duplicated everywhere in nature and this new awareness fills you with calm. My sweet one, step outside of yourself and float up to join your small bird in the branches of that tree. Observe yourself lying quietly underneath. Someone is coming along the path. She moves closer and sits down beside you on the ground. You smile and experience a profound awareness. She is perfect and different from you. You are perfect and you remember a whole new truth.

Sad One: I think the important thing to remember right now is "intention". No matter how people respond to your actions, the only thing that really matters is your true purpose. Too often people miss the reality of your love and genuine caring. They put their own framework around your deeds and make incorrect interpretations based upon their limited knowledge or experience. You are the only one who knows that this situation began in sweetness and innocence. It was instigated by love. Perhaps one day they will see your truth, perhaps not. Meanwhile, you must let go of this new pain. The knowledge of your right meaning dwells within your heart and mind - use this knowledge to release unfounded guilt and resentment. These negative feelings are simply not in your best interest - I know you better than you know yourself and my dear you must realize that this is just not like you! Lift your head and smile. Take several deep breaths. Start again. You may want to make another attempt to clarify your position; however, it may be too late for explanations. People who need reasons are not in the right mind frame to understand or accept your love. You cannot be responsible for how a person chooses to react to your actions. I hope to comfort you with this letter of love. You need to know that I see the whole truth and I know your intention was good. I would never expect anything less of you knowing you as I do. You have a pure heart and a good soul. I live inside of you and I know your truths. We are at peace. We are not at peace because our problems are solved. Our problems are solved because we are at peace. Remember the truth about you so we can laugh and love again today. I love you

Dear Heart: Where is this stress coming from? Why does your body tremble and your heart close to my voice? Is it just because of an impending visitor? Sweetheart, you can do this. You can get through this day and survive, no, soar on wings of confident self-love because you know that I am with you now and always. I know how strong you are and I know how difficult it is to put past pain aside and move on. You are all grown up and yet the child inside is crying out in fear and pain. This child needs you dear heart. Gather her up in your loving arms and give her comfort. No one ever knew how much love you needed then and so you grew up sensing a huge lack that was never intended by your family or your friends. You are the only one who knows how much the child inside needed. I knew but you were too young then for my connection within to make much impact. Things are different now. We are one, strong and united in our love for one another. Together we can comfort and love the child in you and provide the courage to get past this day not just intact but victorious over all the negative arrows that may pierce our collective heart. I will be your healer. I will fortify your mind and will place you in a state of grace that will stand strong - a fortress against the enemy. Love yourself and I will love you too. It will be enough. Know that everyone in your earth family loves you - at least as well as each is capable of loving. You cannot expect more than that. Write to me later and spill out all the feelings that may otherwise eat at your insides. The truth is that I will already know all things that have occurred but you will define your issues better once you write them down. I love you and will help you through this and any crisis. Decide to enjoy this day. Choose happiness.

My Sweet Child: Today we will go on a ghost hunt together. I love you so much that I want to eliminate the hauntings from your past. Though you can barely remember the experiences from your childhood, the imprint of hurtful words and negative experiences has made an indelible mark upon your wounded soul. This damage can be repaired and I think today would be a good time to begin to exorcise these demons. Think back into the silence of your being and begin to remember....Do you recall being chosen last on the team and deciding this meant you were unworthy?...Do you remember a well meaning relative questioning your mother (you were too active or too passive - too fat or too thin - too shy or too outspoken)?...Do you remember making a decision to share your body only to discover the object of your passion did not return your love?...Do you remember losing the election and deciding that this meant the majority of people in your life did not value you or your gifts? You decided that this proved your unworthiness...Do you remember behaving badly and interpreting this as proof of your lack of sweetness? Take time to think and recall the ghosts that still haunt you today. You do not deserve this ache inside. You were perfect then and you are perfect now. You listened to strangers and valued their opinions over your own...eventually you abandoned your own opinion and took their negative thoughts as your truth. You lost your true self and put on a mask to disguise you from the world. In time you saw your reflection wearing this mask and believed that it was really you. You are behind the mask and you are perfect. You are spirit and you are joy. You are a mass of absolute energy vibrating with life and love. I am your angel and today I would remind you of who you really are. I hear the voice of God and his message is clear. You are good through and through. Good and God are synonymous. You live your life with goodness and that indicates to me that God is clearly living inside your heart. I am your angel and I dwell within the silence of your mind. You are my human becoming and we three will make a mark on everything we touch from this day forward. Once you have eradicated your ghosts, you can concentrate on eliminating the spirits that hurt or spread hate to others. This knowledge is profound and it further defines your purpose here. Live, Laugh and Love

My Love: Isn't it amazing that in spite of the extraordinary parts of your life, you still must face the ordinary and even the mundane. Do you ever wonder, "Why"? I watched you racing through a list or errands - doing all the things that needed to be done for the family and I enjoyed seeing the skill with which you manage your time. You are much more organized than you were in your youth and perhaps this is because you value your time so much more these days. Ordinary does not mean unnecessary. You must pick up the laundry. You must go to the dentist. You must buy groceries. You must fill the car with gas. You must honour your commitments to your family, friends and community. Your sense of order requires that you fill your days with a blend of meaningful and meaningless tasks. The goal must be to enjoy the mundane while being aware that there is much more to life than this. Balance is important. You are very good at working and accomplishing great things. You are not quite so good at resting and contemplating your life. Both are absolutely necessary. Continuous cycles makes one feel more alive and the variety of focus provides for a more meaningful relationship with the universe and all that is in it. A Tibetan Monk is no happier than a New York executive. Each has made a different choice and each is equally out of balance. You know better than to lose your equilibrium. You plan your days and yet are willing to alter the plan at a moment's notice if necessary. You value progress and goal setting and you value contemplation and inner growth. I am your angel and I am your teacher. I will make it my job to remind you of what you already know. Some days you must stop. Other times you must go!

Heart of my Heart: Are you ready to know the truth about the power inside you? Part of you has known for a very long time. Another element of you has doubted that this incredible ability could be yours for the taking. You, my sweet one are a healer! You do not believe me? Place your two hands close to your face and focus on the warm current of energy that flows toward your cheeks. Feel the heat of this force. Look closely at your fingers and you will not see a clear definition of where skin ends and space begins. The vibration of energy leaping from you disElperiment with this ner. Gently place your hanace your hanace your hanace your hands on a joint that is painful. Focus. Send warm healing light into the juncture and draw out the pain. Focus. Absorb the pain and allow the energy in your hands to neutralize its poison before gently releasing this pain into the space above your hands. Continue to focus. Feel the pain disappear. From this day forward you must have a new respect for the power in your healing hands. Use your hands as often as possible and provide anonymous comfort to others who suffer. Your touch is magical and spiritual. Know that you can take the pain from your sister's head. You can release the pain in a loved one's heart. You are capable of stopping the bleeding. Practice this gift with a pure heart. You are a healer. Observe this awesome power. Be courageous and be confident with your special gift. Share your special power. Reassure the recipients that this is a healing touch. Ask permission to send your energy into each body. Ask for help in releasing the pain even as you use your skills to draw it out. Keep practising your gift and know that you have begun the process of healing. I love your laughter and your gentle ways. I delight in seeing the joy inside you as you realize this new truth. You are a healer sweet friend. You have always longed to touch lives and make a difference...here is another path to take you where you most want to go. Remember to use your skill with love in your heart and don't forget to use it on yourself when you have pain. And what about the doctors and the hospitals? They serve humanity well and you need to respect all forms of healing. And what of medicines? The universe is full of amazing combinations of remedies and tonics. Trust yourself first and be open to all the countless possibilities.

Dear Beloved: I am your angel and I long to intervene when tragedy strikes. How can I make you underlthough I love you completely. I cannot in I cannot interfere with the tests and trials of your life? I love you too much to protect you or to change your destiny; however, I will also love you through your hard times and give you comfort. Life is a proving ground - an opportunity for you to discover exactly what you are made of. Bad things happen to good people. Never dream for a single moment in your times of need that you deserve this sorrow. Know that no matter how far down you fall, you have the ability to climb back to where you were and higher. You are destined to greatness. Happiness is your birthright. Choice is your tool in sculpting a portion of joy from your life's offerings. Choose carefully dear heart. When life seems too painful to continue, choose again, but choose more wisely. Make each choice an elegant one and allow your perception of a state of grace to be your daily guide. If I could choose any man or woman who has ever lived, I would choose to be your angel. My joy in sharing your life must overflow into your heart for I see you sharing so much joy with others. Even in your darkest moments, you still look for someone who needs your help. I cannot count the number of times you have lifted the spirits of others each day. Loving has become like second nature to you. I love the way you love. I love you. I love the way you look at your life. You never ask, "Why me"? You simply look for the lesson to be learned and move on. Your courage is admirable and your faith in the goodness of mankind is unswerving. You have the unique ability to see a silver lining in each cloud. I see your future dear heart...trust me and be happy.

Dearest: The most profound lessons in life are often demonstrated in simple ways. You love to walk the beach at first light ever hopeful of gathering a few precious seashells. The restless sea tosses its gifts upon the shore and two conditions determine whether or not you will be the fortunate finder! The first is chance. You simply must be in the right place at the exact right time when the salty foam gives up its exquisite prize. How quickly or slowly you walk, in which direction and the time determine your bounty. The second factor is you - your willingness to snatch what you see. The risk of toppling into the surf is nothing to you compared to the opportunity of adding one more shell to your collection. You know that each beautiful shell is usually only offered once, ever briefly, and then the jealous waves take what was tendered away again. If you move quickly and grasp inside the surf, trusting your instinct more than your eyes, you may come away with a perfect whelk or slipper. If caution of a lack of inner trust were your guides, you have lost this opportunity forever. The most important rule in life is that you must show up! Fate, chance, destiny...these are determined somewhat by where you happen to be at any specific moment in time. Be aware dear heart of what life is offering to you moment by moment. Choose carefully and choose well. Chance and choice are interconnected and will provide you with a plethora of opportunity. You are the connoisseur of your life and must make peace with your intellect and your heart in order to select the best offerings. I am your angel and I have watched you walk the beach at dawn. My joy spills onto the sand as I observe you move through the surf with reckless abandon. You find treasure where ever you are. Your life is your proof.

Heart of My Heart: Today is a new beginning, your chance to start anew. I am so proud of you and gratified by this act of self love that has moved you to release and recover. I will stay by your side and whisper words of encouragement in your ear. I will give you the additional strength to resist falling back into the abyss of past pain. How amazing it is to watch you grow and become the wondrous being God always intended you to be! What courage it has taken to come this far and yet this is only the beginning. Yes, you have failed before but never because you were a failure. I considered those moments only pauses while you regained insights and balance. I feel your readiness and your enthusiasm this time and am filled with excitement. You can do this my sweet friend. You can do anything now that you know the source of your strength. There is a resource inside you that is overflowing - a fountain of knowledge and faith that will help you today and that will guide you to help others tomorrow. This is your destiny. You have discovered a new truth and your feet are treading the right path. Becoming is a difficult process and you will face serious challenges as each day unfolds; perseverance is the key. Love is your only focus. Love yourself enough to shape your own destiny. I love you now and always. I will be here inside cheering for you. You can make your dreams come true and you deserve happiness. If you falter, pick yourself up and begin again. New beginnings are unlimited and one day you will forget that you ever needed to do anything more than simply keep on keeping on. You see the light. You are heading in the right direction now. Trust yourself and focus on becoming the person you were always meant to be.

Dearest One: What joy we share at this moment! YOU have become significant to yourself. You have begun to take yourself seriously and you are listening to your own heartbeat. I have waited so long to see this change in awareness in you. You know when to take a break and you know when you need a rest. There is a profound knowledge inside you that helps you to differentiate what to get worked up about and what to get rid of. You know how to be still and receive the guidance that has always been there for you. Now, you know it is time to take care of yourself, to do things that make you stronger and more complete. You know that change is gradual and you are willing to express patience and love toward yourself and others. I love sharing your life and watching the growth and grace in your existence. I am so proud of this new demeanour. You glow with an inner light and remind me of sunshine spilling over the meadow. You know the truth. It is never too late to have a better life and it is never too late to change one. Your resolve to become more will be rewarded. Stay in the light sweet one and keep moving forward. The goal is just within your grasp. Reach out and feel the sweetness of your life. Become amazed at the power within your body and mind. Tap into the inner resources and hone your skills until you feel strong once more. This is how you were meant to be. You have always been all important to me. Now, you have become significant to yourself and that is the key to freedom. Feel your angel embrace you. Together we are breaking through your humanity and discovering your sweet spirit within. In winter all the world seems lost to colour and growth. Still we both know that the spring will bring back the spark of life to all of nature. Your winter is over now dear heart. The time of rest will come again but for now just bloom and become. Forever, Angel

Namaskar: I am amazed to watch you as you go through your life touching others and gaining understanding. Did you ever notice that most folks are busy building walls of separation? You, build bridges and your intimate connection with your fellow man is remarkable. How did you ever learn to love so sweetly? There are so many ways to define our separateness and to perpetuate loneliness. Families, race, communities, gender...these things help us to bond more closely with others who are like us but they also divide us from those who are different. So many people live inside imaginary boxes with their loved ones and they look outside at the world and call them their enemies. You reward is that you see your world as a whole and recognize that all the participants are merely equal parts of that whole. You know who you are and you know where you are going. Your life is filled with memorable moments and friendships with more of mankind than the others. This is your reward dear heart. Your life is full of meaningful relationships because you trust others and your trust yourself. You make no judgements and you look at your universe and all that it contains with eyes of love. I am your angel and today I wish to encourage you to continue on this path of loving. Love is the strongest and most powerful of emotions and it can overcome all lesser emotions including fear, pain, anger, discouragement and hurt. There are others who love life as you do, others who are more evolved in their human growth. Surround yourself with people who love as you do and know that you are the ones who can make a difference in this world. You do not have to become a missionary in Africa to do the necessary work with humanity....walk into your community with a keen awareness. The gifts you have to give will find recipients just around the corner. Love and be love's channel. There is nothing else that you must do. NAMASKAR: "the Divinity within me salutes the Divinity within you. I see you with eyes of LOVE".

Dearest: There is an everlasting cycle - a certain rightness to birth and death, a balance in the natural order of things. Today I grieve with you and ache to mend your broken heart. You have lost someone who was so special and close to you and you are overwhelmed with devastation right now. Tears will never wash away the pain and time will not mend your spirit. Only faith and love can heal this void inside. Faith that life is never over, it simply changes form. The one you miss is with me now, already an angel full of light and pure ecstasy. Do you remember the card in yesterday's mail? It was sent to you by a good friend and was a message from beyond to add comfort to your life. "Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow I'm sunlight on sweet ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain When you awake in the morning hush, I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there, I did not die." author unknown Observe nature to find meaning in the cycles. Trust that there is purpose in all living things. Fill your mind with sweet memories, happy thoughts of the special times you spent together before death touched your lives. Know that your days are numbered too and that all living beings will one day live in the light of another dimension. I will help you through this painful time dear heart. The one you love is not so very far away. Wipe away your tears. Do not cry any more. Draw upon your faith in eternal life and abiding love. Peace, Be Still, Angel PERSPECTIVE: "It was but yesterday that I thought myself a fragment quivering without rhythm in the sphere of life...Now I know that I am the sphere, and all life in rhythmic fragments moves within me". Kahlil Gibran

Dearest: You flew from the city you call home to a special vacation spot in a jet plane. You have been there many times before in your imagination. Finally, you are going to the place you have longed for so many times before in your mind. The dream is fin I shared in your deligred our choseed our choseed our choseed our chosen destination and I thrilled to watch your excitement and happiness at the prospect of change...a different climate...new scenery...the possibilities of wondrous new friendships. You settled into this new place and then did a very strange thing. You flew back home again on wings of mind to remember all you had left behind...your home..your family and your friends...the warm and familiar. Think, dear heart. When your body is in a new place and your mind travels home again, where exactly is the you that is you? You could have simply stayed at home and imagined this foreign place. You can stay here and imagine there with all that is sweet and familiar but you will miss the exciting now moments that promise to come. You need to make your choice sweetheart and it might be to focus on the here and now whereever that might be. Love this new experience and live it fully. Rejoice in the unexpected, savour the adventure. It will be over soon enough and you will fly back home, mind and body together feeling renewed and ready to appreciate all that is there once again. If you miss the special people in your life, know this. They will miss you too and sweet longing will be their experience as long as you are away. Your love will never be damaged by separation. Love is constant, ever-flowing. You are loved my dear. Enjoy this experience with all your heart and soul. Feel each now moment for these are the happy memories in which you will delight tomorrow.

Child of my Deepest Longing: I celebrate this special day with you. I wish you only good things on this anniversary of your birth. Happy Birthday! I still remember the celebration in the universe so many years ago when I first knew that I would be selected to watch over you. The other angels sang songs of joy and congratulations to me. I was overcome with anticipation. It is important that you should shape a memory of that incredible day even though you were only a newborn. Your adult self thinks you cannot possibly remember. Since then you have various memories stored inside and many of these are hurtful. People, even family can inflict pain without ever having formed the intention. Most people do the best they can given the circumstances. You had best forgive and forget. Remember instead the moment of your birth. Your mother cried with joy and she still counts this moment as the most special time of her life. Those who saw you deemed you perfect...beautiful...a miracle. Everyone smiled. When you were first held, everyone marvelled at the sweetness of your smell, the smoothness of your skin, the beauty of you! You were one of a kind, rarest of the rare, a priceless treasure. You were loved. Nothing has changed sweet child. Everything you were you still are and more. As you grew, you developed insight, ethics, morals. You became a caring and loving person and I am so proud of you. Every human being in your world should be telling you these things today, but in case they have no words, I must speak for them. No matter how old you become, you will always be my child. I love you now and always. Celebrate this day with me! This is the day you were born. This marks the anniversary of meaning and purpose for me, your angel. We cannot ever know how many more birthdays there will be dear heart. Love your life. Love yourself and know that you are everything I ever dreamed you would be and more.

My Sweet Child: You have become more than I ever hoped for. I am amazed and delighted with your growth. Gracious heart, you are the child of God and I am the angel who guides and guards you as you move through your life experience. You are the one I love. You cannot see me but you know by your faith that I am always there beside and inside your being. Sometimes you imagine me in a far away place...at a great distance. Know that I am near. My mandate is to bring you closeness when you feel distant. I am the messenger who brings you light when you are in darkness. I am your angel. I bring you the word when you question. Remember dear one that I am not the message nor am I the light. I am only the messenger. The message is simply "to love". Let me dwell in your eyes and enable you to see the world through me. I will help you to recapture love's eyes once again so that I can be closer to you and you to Him. I am your link with the universe. I am your connection to all that is good. I watch over you day and night. I was there even when you did not believe. My only purpose is to help you move through the darkness into the light. Be still and listen. You will always hear my voice - a gentle sigh above the din of worldly confusion. Be guided by pure intuition and insight. Choose love. Love is the only path. Angel THE LIGHT OF THE BODY IS THE EYE IF THEREFORE THINE EYE BE CLEAR THY WHOLE BODY SHALL BE FULL OF LIGHT Matthew VI.22

Sweet Child of My Heart: You have walked the beaches in many lands. You have observed the power of the ocean as the tides ebb and flow. I long to remind you dear child that there are lessons to be learned today and every day. Lessons do not always come from other people. Sometimes, the learning can take place by observing the harmony and the forces of nature. Notice how the waves are crashing nearest the shore. If you walk into the ocean, these watery powers seem liable to topple you into their wake at any moment. You fight the current and the undertow and move deeper until you pass beyond the white caps. Suddenly, you are able to float and bob more easily even in the roughest of seas. It was only a matter of trusting your instinct and pushing your way past the first rough waves. Life is like that. Some would begin a task and finding it difficult, quit way too soon. If they had only pushed toward deeper water...if only they had trusted themselves...if only they had moved past the difficult beginning to that place of new resolve and purpose. I am so proud of you dear heart. You have always been an adventurer...a willing participant in living. You embrace nature and noise and crisis. You are a goal seeker and your faith in the goodness of all things is evident to me. Others would stand in deep water and fight the power of the current. They do not understand that no human being can fight against nature in all its majesty. You understand. You move into deep water and lift your feet from the comfort of the bottom...you do not fight at all...you surrender to the motion of the water and float safely on the surface. You have the instinct of a sea bird and you savour the pleasure of a shared heartbeat with all the bodies of water in the universe. Wonder child. Child of nature. Child of God. I stand in awe of your inherent knowledge. Sweetheart, I applaud your courage. Dear one, I commend you for learning the lessons of life in whatever form they are presented.

Angelic Child: Today you must learn to let go. Pressure and stress are the enemies of higher consciousness. Notice how a bent hose will stop the water flowing to the garden. Imagine a tourniquet that prevents precious blood from gushing from an open wound. Pinch your nose to stop the flow of oxygen to your own lungs. Pressure is an amazing thing. Your life is often plagued with outside pressure and the result is an immobility...an inability to perform. Let go sweetheart. Serenity is your goal. Use the mantra "Peace, Be Still" over and over until you begin to feel the peace inside. Negative stress is your enemy and pressure will prevent you from being the best you can be. Let go. Let go. Just take a deep breath and let it all go. I have long admired your ability to remedy situations. You are an action person and you get the job done; however, sometimes there is no action to be taken. Once in a great while, there is no solution except release. Free yourself from the pain of nurturing the problem and give yourself permission to move forward in a whole new direction if necessary. Begin again. Each day, each moment is another opportunity to begin again with a clean slate. You are never the sum total of what once was....you are only what you are right now. You have only just begun to become the person you were meant to be. Take charge of yourself dear heart. Stress is your enemy. Peace is your goal. Tonight, sleep and dream of harmony and happiness. Let all your yesterdays float into the distant past and let go. Hold on to tomorrow for it is the beginning of your future. Hold my hand dear one and I will take you there.

My Love: You are a sensitive and loving person and you respond to signs provided by your world. There are so many signs...so many interpretations...so many obligations. Dearest, can you be sure you are always paying attention to the right sign? Did you ever notice more than one sign was pulling you in opposite directions? Think about the day you intended to accomplish so many tasks. Your head ached and this appeared to be an indication that you ought to seek out your bed and rest instead. A friend arrived unexpectedly and invited you share an amusement. You thought this was a sign you should go. Which sign do you listen to and are you certain that your interpretation is correct? How can you make the right choice? You need to live your life to the fullest and enjoy each moment; however, you must also give yourself permission to do nothing...to just be. You are enough. You do not always have to contribute in order to be worthwhile. You do not always have to be busy or to get things done. Your value in immeasurable and it is there in spite of what you do or do not do. Dear heart, I love you. Listen for the signs but pay attention to your intuitive self. Dream and as you dream, remember that together you and I can make your dreams come true. Fill your days with a mix of purposeful endeavour and worshipful listening and you will find the balance and peace that was once lost.

Child of Mine: You can never really know what a new day may have in store for you. As much as you plot and plan your life, surprises and revelations have a way of waking us up to the unexpected. Today, you were given an extraordinary gift...the gift of friendship. Someone new came into your life and changed you forever. Aren't you glad you were willing to receive love in this new form? Friends are such special people and most of us can only count a few by the end of our lives. Treat this new person gently dear heart. Hold this outstretched hand and feel the wonder of this new soul mate. Share your laughter and your tears. Become a student to this teacher. Become a teacher to this special soul. I love to watch your happiness and am delighted that this new connection has brought you joy. Isn't it odd how great your need was for this exquisite alliance? In spite of the myriad of family, friends and fellows who are already part of your life, there is still a void...a yearning for someone new who understands before you speak. Do not be afraid. Move confidently and sweetly in and through this new relationship...it is simply another gift that your life has offered to you. Be honest and caring. Trust is essential. Make time for your new friend but be careful not to smother feelings just born. Games are not necessary in this instance. Just be all that you are and it will be enough. Do not lose your balance and remember that other friends and loved ones in your life still have a great hunger and need for you. There is space in your life....there is always room for the past relationships....there is always time for just one more person. Someone special arrived into your world today and you will never quite be the same. I am your angel. I love you completely and celebrate your happiness today. Enjoy.

Cherished One: You are a creative genius. Your gift must be further developed. It is a crime to ignore the talent within yourself. Perhaps you are unaware of this special ability. Is it that you refuse to value that which makes you stand out above others? My child, I must encourage you to think again. Each man or woman has special and unique talents and it is your creator's intention that you make full use of these offerings. You have often heard the old adage, "Use it or lose it". Please disregard your feelings of inadequacy and begin to grace the universe with your special contributions. Reach...and as you reach, remember that success takes time, devotion and sometimes a little disappointment. You must not be shy nor can you be boastful. This gift is simply evidence of the creator working in and through you. There is no place for fear of vanity here. You must display your unique abilities to the entire universe and you need to know that it is right that you should do so. The whole world watches to see when your life will become more meaningful. What is your most special gift sweetheart? Perhaps you have not yet discovered the talents that set you apart from the masses. Look inside. Be still and meditate to discover your true passion. You must do what you were put on this earth to do. Begin. Time is short. Your earth days are limited in number. Be true to your own heart and enjoy the creative process. Share your endowment with those who would appreciate the beauty...teach those who would choose to learn from you...give freely knowing that for any gift to be of value, it must be given away. You will prosper if you listen to my voice. Your success depends upon your state of mind more than on your specific actions. You know in your heart that it is essential that you should be the best you can be at any given moment in time. Your true purpose is to discover all that is inside and to share without concern or care. Love your life. What good is such rare talent if it is hidden from the world? Heart of my heart, sweet child of mine, one that I love - find yourself and be true to your destiny. Unearth your path and begin the journey. I am with you and I will light the way.

Precious Child: I love the fact that you are finally beginning to love yourself. How I have longed to help you to nourish the source within you...to see you plant seeds of beauty and harvest what you sow. Beauty is an inside job and you know this truth even though you have often been thrown off track by the culture in which you live. Logically you have always known that it is the communication age which is destroying the fragile sense of esteem within all people. Emotionally, even you have relinquished your personal power from time to time and believed the lie. Listen to your angel for I will never lie to you. Listen to your true self for you can trust your heart. You are beautiful inside and out. The measure of external beauty changes over eons of time; however, the beauty which is in fashion today according to convention does not ring genuinely resonate in the souls of those who value reality. Wisdom dictates that there is beauty everywhere even within that which is traditionally described as grotesque. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Look for beauty and you will find it all around you. Release yourself from the standards of society and tradition. All women are beautiful. All men are beautiful. All that exists in nature is beautiful...perfect...unique. You are a part of this perfection. You are truly beautiful. Your size, age, weight, shape, colouring, sex and type set you apart. In fact these qualities combine to make you one of a kind. Love the differences in you and nurture the beauty within...morality, integrity, sweetness and love. Sleep naked this night and love the body in which you dwell but know this truth. Your body is not you. It is simply the vehicle which takes you through this life experience. Enjoy the ever changing body and love the whole self. You have come so far my dear. You are able to look out and see others with eyes of love. You withhold judgement and criticism of the masses. Do at least as well with yourself. You deserve to feel self love circling within your heart, mind, body and soul. I love you so completely. Drown your insecurities within the sea of love. Love is your only goal. I Embrace You.

Dearest: You need to become your best friend. Sometimes you are your own worst enemy. I grieve with you over the countless hurts you have been forced to endure...I ache when I witness your inner turmoil. My love for you is complete, perfect and never ending. I wish that human love could be so true! Many people will enter your life while you are here and it is important that you should be open and receptive to the good in each one. Friends, family, lovers, and teachers will come your way and you must learn from each experience; however, nowhere is it written that you must continue to suffer once the lesson is learned. Sweetheart, it is time to leave this painful relationship. Your loyalty and love have prevented you from doing what you must in order to survive. You have not been able to give yourself permission to abandon a relationship that is poisoning your life. Now is the time. Let go. Abandon this connection. Leave your guilt behind and know that this act of self love commands that you move on. Your life was meant to be a joyful experience and although pain comes to each of us periodically, it was never meant to be like this. I love you completely and know you better than you know yourself. You are a believer....you have faith in the good in all people....you long to bring healing to others who suffer. Sometimes, others are not ready to receive your help. Dear heart, redirect your loving inside and do what is right for you. In loving yourself you will be more able to love all of humanity. Although this person needs to disappear from your experience right now, there are many more who will come and provide you with new opportunities for both joy and sorrow. You recognize authenticity. You have known for a very long time what you must do. Forget your fear of what others may think. Release yourself from guilt for it is not you who is causing the pain. Know that everyone has lessons to learn and as long as you continue to support this person, the learning cannot take place. You are not the right teacher in this instance. Move yourself out of the way and make space for growth to take place in another's life. I will help you through your dark journey and promise that light, love and laughter are beckoning. Surrender to your highest good. Give happiness a chance.

My Love: There is honesty in nature. We can learn so much from small creatures who use pure instinct to direct their actions. Observe closely and discover examples that have meaning for you right now. Did you know that when an animal is injured, it curls up inside its home and stays very quiet? It waits. It waits for recovery or death but knows that it must be patient and very still. Sometimes the healing takes countless days and nights. The animal may fast during this time and will allow its body to make necessary repairs. It knows and trusts that what will be will be. You are so observant...acutely aware of the world around you. Dear one, learn from nature. Whether your pain is emotional or physical, you cannot continue to function or fulfil all your obligations right now. Stop. Take the time necessary to allow your body and mind to mend. Silence is your friend. Warmth is essential. Sleep is a indispensable ingredient to your healing. Fill endless days with sweetness. Listen to soft music and read bits of inspiration. Do not overdo. Part of the reason for your illness is exhaustion and it will take time and patience for recuperation to take place. I am with you every waking moment. I watch over you when you sleep. I promise to do my part to send healing light in and through you. My love for you is so great that it has the power to lift you beyond your suffering. Come with me my love. Float upward on my wings and feel the peace seep inside your soul. I will cradle you in my arms and love you as your mother once did when you were newborn. I will lay you down softly in the black velvet night and allow nothing to disturb your thoughts. In a little while, you will feel strong again. I am pleased to take part in your recovery. I will transfer all my strength and power into your heart. I will watch over you until we wake together ready to begin again

My Dear: How I admire your courage! You have the unique ability to take chances and to seek out new experiences. Others might feel fear or apprehension...you experience excitement and a rush of adrenaline when you encounter the unknown. I dwell in your shadow and I am filled with a zest for your life as we move together through the unfamiliar. I always wonder, "What is next"? Your life is a series of surprises, a mass of sweet memories which I truly cherish. So many people are afraid to take risks....not you my brave charge! I believe that you flourish even in adversity because you hold a strong belief that your world is a friendly place and is full of challenges. You use each experience to discover your own worth and I watch you move to a higher and higher plane. There are very few fears left for you. Those that remain will be dealt with in your own time. I have every confidence that you will never be satisfied until the last breath leaves your body. I am thankful that you have tempered your zeal with some good sense. Some days you throw caution to the wind. I urge you to remain replete with care as you pursue each new goal. Belief is your master. Believe...and as you believe you will find reaching gets easier, setbacks become more manageable and your life takes on a whole new meaning. You have discovered an amazing truth through living your life with such carefree abandon. Experiences which cause fear for most people are not so frightening after all. Each time the unknown becomes the known, you grow familiar with what formerly caused trepidation. You face your own dread and turn it to illusion. What a perfectly wonderful life we have! Thank you for your tenacity for freedom. Thank you for refusing to accept limits. Thank you for not forcing me to enlighten you about your true nature...you already know! Today, we will take more chances.

Light of my Life: You bring out the best in others my dear. You are so confident that the people around you are imbued with goodness that you demonstrate an expectation which results in the corresponding quality. Others do not gain the same response from people in their world. Many are filled with negative thoughts. They are unaware that this precise thinking causes inferior behaviour. You know that you are the source. Wise child, you perceive that you have the unique ability to cause people to perform well. You expect good from everyone around you and you get it! Hurrah! I watch you interact with friends, family and even strangers and am constantly astonished by your ability to draw into the light qualities which result in both pride and grace. Although I know that angels are spirits of perfection, I truly believe that you draw out the best even in me. You need to know the extent of your influence in the universe. I have learned to adore you through watching you bathe others in your unconditional love. In your personal growth, what I next wish for you is recognition for the high standards you exhibit for yourself. You are tough and you are demanding and you refuse to accept mediocrity. You know that everyone cannot be first. There is only one best...only one gold medal; still, you always work to be better that you were last time. You compete with yourself and you refuse to compare your progress with anyone else. You make room for others to succeed even if their achievements supersede yours. You are the first to encourage and applaud them! This is one reason why you consistently shine through each performance. You have a vision of where you want to be...you see a perfect picture in your mind's eye of who you choose to be...you have an acute awareness of what you wish to accomplish. You strive to fit yourself to the vision and day by day you are becoming it. I congratulate you my dear. You possess that rare quality of expectation. Your life to date is the result. I am watching your existence unfold like a perfect blossom and I am filled with awe.

My Benevolent One: You demonstrate a profound knowledge about wealth that few human beings grasp in a whole lifetime. I am overwhelmed with pride because I know that you understand the difference between "having" and "being". In spite of the fact that you have accumulated many worldly goods over the years, you demonstrate a sense of humour in regard to possessions. You truly value more intrinsic qualities. You care about your abundance of experiences from which you glean poignant memories. You care about a wealth of friends and family with whom you experience your most passionate nature. You care about the earth itself and have formed a deep commitment to preserve nature in all its varied forms. You know that decorator items no matter how expensive can be replaced and more importantly, you realize that these are the very things which take precious time out of your life as you try to keep them free of dust. Your generosity is astounding. I have observed you over the years and you have given money, time and goods freely with no thought of return. You have a kind heart and you hear the cries of those who are genuinely in need. Sometimes you make mistakes in judgement. You are never a victim of disillusions. Still, you continue to give abundantly and your heart remains pure. You are my benevolent one. When you look upon the world, compassion is your primary response. Many rewards come into your life and sometimes you may wonder "Why"? My dear, you generate good fortune. As you continue to exhibit magnanimous energy to those around you, life will continue to provide for any and all of your requirements.

Dear Heart: I was so surprised to discover that you were feeling frightened today. At first I thought I must be mistaken. My sweet friend, you are so clever and intuitive. You seem to have discovered the mystery of life and yet you grieve because suddenly you preceive that time is running out. You think that you have wasted too many precious years. You fear there will not be enough days left to complete your work. You sense that your life purpose has not been accomplished to date and you worry that so much will be left unfinished. You grieve that some important things have been left unsaid. You ache to resolve conflicts and express love to all who are close to you. Dear heart, be still. Let your angel wipe away the unshed tears and listen to my reassurances. You have experienced a conscious shock. Today, you became aware that you are aging and the process frightens you deeply. Do not fear. Think of the lessons you have learned from nature. Seeds germinate, then sprout, then grow into tall green plants. In time, the tiny pink buds appear followed by delicate flowers and finally, fragrant fruit. Unpicked, the ripened fruit drops off the withered vine and becomes nutrition for next year's harvest. There is no end to this process called life. You are no less part of the procedure than the tides and the moon or the seasons and the cycles of the exquisite butterfly. Shakespeare spoke of seven stages and you will experience them all. Some are not so fortunate as you well know. As you approach this next stage and a different age, be joyful. The process will not end until it is time. The epilogue is only the beginning of an experience more enchanting and delightful than you could possibly imagine. You are a person with strong faith and your trust in the universe unfolding is demonstrated throughout your life to date. Do not relinquish your dreams. Continue to live each day fully and focus on the goals not yet attained. Fill your days with light and love and laughter. It's not over until it's over and even then, it will never really end. You cannot envision the future because you are confined by your limited imagination. Sleep well this night and dream my dear. Dream and your real self will remember all that is to come. I know the truth about eternity. Your dream self will provide solace tonight. I love you.

Darling: You exhibit a profound ability to channel your positive energies in the right direction. Did you know that self-discipline leads to a state of grace? Very few people are inspired to set rules of ethics and morality for themselves and then adhere to these rules through the course of everyday life. Most people would give in easily to temptation especially if it were evident that no one would find out. Not you my dear task master. You demand an inner standard of emotions and an outer standard of conduct that sets you apart from the rest. You follow more stringent rules than you would ever dream of setting for anyone else. You live up to your own personalized standard of excellence and set a wonderful example for others. Your family, your colleagues, and your children have learned valuable lessons from observing you in action. I watch you live through each day and am constantly astonished when you will not compromise your values or your vision for your own future. I am your angel and my task is not difficult. You seldom need my guidance or my admonishments; in fact, you have established a distinct touchstone of virtue. It is truly wonderful to see you discipline yourself. You will not give in to mediocre behaviour. You choose your words carefully and remain polite and caring even when engaged with those who would be abusive. You use discipline in your selection of nourishment, rest, music, art, books, and friends. There are so many lesser choices available to you and you have resisted the common, the mundane, and even the corrupt. You have made a conscious decision to be the best person you can be. You value courtesy, trust, modesty, and gentle demeanour. It is evident to me that your acts of self discipline over the years are moving you closer to a state of true virtue. I am so proud of you my love! You are remarkable.

My Strong One: It's time to remember your purpose my love. You came here for a while to express love, to laugh, to live well and to make a difference. All people must work in some fashion....this is the price we each pay for the privilege of living on this planet. It is commendable that you love your work and that you are eager to accomplish more each day than that for which you are being paid; however, it is also imperative that you remember to play. Relax your singular focus and enjoy. Build memories. Share love and laughter with someone special. Your boundless energy is one of the things I admire in you most but I love you too much to see you fill days and nights, weeks and months, and all of your years here on earth with nothing more than work. Remember balance dear heart. Remember to lighten your load occasionally. Take time to smell the flowers and to share your love. Give yourself the gift of playtime. Sing some songs. Dance and move to music. Paint pictures on paper or at the very least, let the colours run into each other and create a dazzling impression of what you feel when you experience the sunrise. A narrow focus can make you an expert in any field but leave you lonely and empty at the end of a lifetime. Broaden your horizons and dabble in a variety of experiences. Remember to provide time and opportunity for the creative part of yourself. Write your poems and allow your imagination to soar until your spirit is free from the control of regulations and time frames. Read my love. You must read for your teachers from the past have put their lessons in books for your discovery. Float inside your imagination and allow me to speak to you of enchanting enterprises that could add spice to your life. You are so charismatic....so full of light. You draw others to you like moths to the flame because you are so interesting. Continue to expand your mind as you focus on a smorgasbord of new and delightful experiences. Remember your child self. Let's you and I take the youngster out to play. Live, Laugh and Love.

Sweet Child of the Universe: Sometimes you move so fast that I am left spinning in your wake! You are perfectly amazing in your ability to plan countless action packed days, one after the other. You accomplish great things and anyone who observes you says, "Mover and Shaker"! You fill each hour with meaning and you are constantly moving towards a new and challenging goal. You have a defined purpose and you keep your focus in order to achieve more than I ever thought possible. How I admire your dedication and your energy. My only fear for you is that you might burn out. Haven't you felt a little tapped out lately my dear? Did it ever occur to you that once in a great while you need to regroup and refuel? You give so much to the world that it becomes imperative that you refill yourself on occasion. Can you redirect this energy field inward? My sweet child of the universe, you must slow down today. In fact you must stop completely and experience silence so that you can hear the voice of God. Meditate in the quiet and feel your mind replenish. Pray in the dark and feel your heart unload. Look inside and discover countless new options. Think about your choices and evaluate the result. Relax completely and invite inspired thought to enter your mind. Breathe deeply and invite spiritual ideals to enter your soul. Imagine yourself floating past the clouds, moving in upward spirals higher and higher. Your world is disappearing from view and you are moving toward beams of sunshine. Dream softly while you fly into a state of electro-charged wakefulness. Envision laying your body on blue velvet eiderdown. Imagine settling deep into the soft surface and begin to experience perfect peace all around. You deserve this time to communicate with the light. Hear me sweet child. Take this time to gather your resources and to regain your strength. This next while, time will be suspended while you listen to the sounds of love. Soon, you can go back to your merry-go-round world. Soon, you can burst into new projects with fresh energy but first, just rest a while. Unwind My Dear.

Dreamchild: You are one of a kind. I so admire your acceptance of all that life offers to you in spite of whether it feels good or bad. You have never blamed God or anyone else for the tragedies that befall you. You have an incredible understanding....a rare awareness of the truth. When disaster strikes a single human being or a whole nation, it is never a punishment. You know that no one deserves the heart-break and trauma that goes with catastrophe. There are so many disasters...earthquakes, floods, murder, cancer, job loss, divorce, mental illness, amputation, fire, famine...the list goes on and on. There are those who believe that if a painful experience occurs, one must in some way be deserving...that some people are responsible for their personal trauma. If this were not so, these people think that God would have interfered or saved them. Your wisdom is a rare thing. You know that life is unpredictable and that each and every person in the universe is susceptible to surprises and unexpected calamity. I have never heard you say, "Why me?" Does this mean you believe in fate or that you have a sense of powerlessness? Absolutely not! I know you my dreamchild and I know you have a deep and abiding faith in your own abilities to cope with whatever transpires. You will never blame anyone... not even yourself. You trust that you will recover and learn from each experience. You are absolutely right. When misfortune happens to you, you know with certainty that it was not your fault. You never spend time looking for someone to vent anger on...you look for the lesson to be learned. What an amazing person you are! I sometimes wonder if you know why you struggle so intensely for excellence. You are never virtuous because you fear the consequences. You are what you are because it is a choice that you make each and every day. You are moving toward a state of grace. I am your angel and I am so proud of you.

Cherished Child: I will always be your special angel. Ever since you were first conceived, I have been blessed by my ability to reach out and touch you. These written communications have brought me satisfaction and I believe they have brought you solace in your times of need. I delight in all that you are...sweet, brave, loving, caring, creative, sensitive, aware...there is no end to the beautiful words which describe you. There is absolutely no flaw in your humanity with the possible exception of an excess of humility. Your modest nature prevents you from celebrating your countless virtues. I am your self-appointed conscience and I admonish you for not accepting the whole truth about your real nature. Dear one, there is no vanity in being honest with yourself and the world around you. Accept the truth. Know in your heart of hearts that you are a pure spirit. I love you completely and forever. You deserve the love of all the people who have crossed paths with you over the years. You have every right to love yourself. Celebrate the qualities that make your life so sweet my dear. I will help you to nourish the goodness inside and I will remind you of your inner beauty day and night. I watch you while you sleep and pray that each day will be better than the last. I look for ways to help you live every moment fully and without regret. You are such a special person my dear. I thank God that I am your guardian angel.

Dear One: You have always known that the sands of time move quickly and silently. Your awareness of the unexpected has moved you to accomplish much in your lifetime. Procrastination has never been an issue for you dear heart. You move forward and do what needs to be done immediately. This rule never varies and it is this driving force which has helped you to gain the respect of others. Your promises are always kept. There is no one out there who is disappointed in you today. I am so proud of your values and of your ability to complete tasks no matter how inconsequential they might seem. To you, a promise is a promise. I see clearly why your friends and family believe in you...I see how effortlessly you provide comfort with just a look. Your word is your bond and you never fail to keep it. No wonder you are so confused when others break their promises to you! You can barely comprehend a single reason or excuse for such failings. Still, you are filled with a sweetness and grace that causes you to forgive easily when others disappoint you. What an extraordinary person you are! You hold no grudges. You make an effort to understand and to listen. When you do see clearly that someone you trust has betrayed you, rather than demand retribution, you simply decide to learn from this lesson. You are motivated to prevent similar pain with those whom you love. You have vision. You can see the future and you know how to shape it. You accept responsibility for your actions. You have achieved a state of real trust and you deserve the special way others perceive you. If today were the last day you lived on this earth, you would have left very little behind for others to clear away; however, you will have left much to be remembered for. You are a person who lives life fully. You dance through your days and relish the many tasks that blend to make up the fabric of each day. Carry on my love. You are living your life exactly as you should.

Sweetheart: What will you leave behind my dear? What will you leave for the world to remember you by? What will they say about you when you are gone? You know that most people barely make their mark in a whole lifetime and once gone, are soon forgotten. Not you, dear heart. You have made a difference. You have impacted many lives through countless acts of generosity and caring. You leave memories in the minds of the living and they will tell stories of your accomplishments. Family and friends alike will hold photographs of you and remember moments of love and laughter. You have left a huge part of yourself in your children and although they are each unique and individual, they are also each a distinct part of you. You will live on through of them. You scratched your name on a tree or in the bottom of a clay pot and the memory of you will linger on. Strangers will read your name and wonder about your life. Your writing will remain after you leave and bring a tear to the reader who loves you still. Thank goodness you did not neglect your letters. Someone remembers your generosity one Christmas past and no holiday has ever been so sweet. Each year the memory of you lingers and she wonders where you are now. I think it might be better to leave a letter to those we love rather than a last will and testament. Take time to transcribe parts of your journal and give the greatest gift of all...a message which will last beyond your time here. Some are remembered with statues and stones. Some lives are retold in movies. You will be remembered on wings of love for the world would never have been the same if you had not been here. You leave behind a sense of emptiness in the hearts of those who knew you and you leave memories with all those whom you loved.

My Dear: One early morning you sat on the beach and watched the moon rise high into the sky just as the sun began to spill above the horizon. You gazed straight up into the night sky still sparkling with stars, then lowered your eyes to include the ocean surface. What a sight! It is as if the two opposites of night and day have merged just for a brief moment in time and you felt suspended between the two. The sun was the victor and chased away the moon and stars. Light cast away the darkness and your eyes were witness to the event. You welcome the light but know in your heart that it a little while you will long for the quiet of darkness again.....and it will come. Night follows day....Day follows night. In the dark, the ocean sounded calm and you heard the tenor of waves gently lapping the shore. As daylight appeared, the water seemed to stir and you listened as the waves crashed and swept across the sand. Again, the change occurred so quickly you barely had time to mark the difference. Nature provides the calm and the storm, day and night, summer heat and winter ice, mountains and valleys. A world of different experiences and a lifetime of opposite emotions. You think on your life and realize that you are constantly filled with joy or sadness, laughter or tears, hope or despair, truth or deceit, love or hate. There is a place between each set of emotions which is very like your early morning sensation. Remember the moment on the beach before the moon disappeared and just after the sun began its climb? There is a space between where you feel everything and nothing...a time when you choose which direction you will go....where to focus your attention. No matter what your choice, you know with certainty that the other is waiting in the wings and will demand an equal share. You would never appreciate the many states of mind without a full awareness of the reverse. Love your life my dear and trust that nothing remains static. If you ever feel unworthy, trust that feelings of true worth exist just on the other side of your mind. Use your power to move to the place where you most want to be. Take control of your inner self and carefully select the emotions which will feel right. Nature directs the course of night and day. You decide whether it is dark or light inside. Choose light my dear. Choose light!
