Happy New Year everyone!

There's an advantage to having a Medium in the family...at family gatherings, after the meal I will often link into Spirit, to see what messages they have for us.  My dad died almost 4 years ago, and we all miss his huge presence in our lives. 

So, yesterday, 15 of us gathered for brunch here at my home.  (made the yummiest corn beef hash!)  After the dishes were cleaned...we sat in a circle, each clutching a tissue because we know it would be emotional (for me as well, even as I bring through the messages).  After saying my opening prayer...I sat quietly and pretty quickly felt the presence of my Dad...as well as our uncle, my former husband's father, and my brother in law's mom and dad.  My Dad had me go to each person in the room, giving them a very specific message (like how he's with my sister when she eats "York Peppermint Patties" at her condo...lol...I had no idea!)...and gave us more general guidance for the group as a whole.

I am nudged to share some of his loving guidance with you...may you embrace it in your heart.

Papa's Wisdom for 2011...
1.  In spirit, there are no grades...no labels.   You often hurt yourself with the constant grading that you do, and the labeling you feel you need to place on yourself.  Let it go.
2.  Slow down!  (ugh...he's seen me driving on the highway...)
3.  Turn the music down in your car...you'll hear our thoughts easier.
4.  He told my mom (83 yrs old) that she wasn't quite "ripe" yet!  (This was in response to her thinking they'd die together.)  He was proud of how far she has come.  So sweet!
5.  Share the gift that you have....don't worry about "how" or "when"...just express your gift...the joy is in the expression of it.  Do it because you love it...not for the end result.  (looove that!)
6.  Take yourself out of other people's dramas...everything works itself out...when you let it.
7.  Continue to find your own note to sing.
8.  He encouraged us girls to continue to speak up when we get upset...that it would help in our weight loss efforts!  It was then that my sister Penny and I agreed that we'd like to become "Skinny Bitches!!"  lol

It truly was an amazing bonding experience...emotional, but very intimate.  We know my Dad is with us, helping us to see a higher perspective here. 

Your loved ones are around you as well...and they are but a thought away.  Heaven is not a far away place, but a different frequency of energy...where love exists in its purest form.  They hear you, and are responding to back in thought forms.  May you take the time to slow down and listen within...or look around you for a subtle sign.

Death is not the end...merely the transition from being physical...to being non-physical, spirit energy (like God).

From my heart to yours...
Sandy
