CHRISTMAS 2011 ~ A Time of Sharing!

I must admit that I LOVE Christmas:  Christmas isn't the gifts that I buy or that I receive.   It isn't in the crowded stores, or in the lights on the trees or the streets or the houses.   Yes that all helps the feeling of  Christmas.   Christmas isn't found in the tinsel or ornaments on the tree's everywhere.  It isn't found on or in the decorations.  The Spirit of Christmas isn't even found in the ceremonies we perform or the feasts we set out on our tables.  


SO THEN WHAT IS CHRISTMAS?  Christmas is ...at least part of it....  Is in the Sharing.  It is in your smile, it isn't the glitter or the expensive gifts... It is a warm fuzzy feeling when you look at another human being and you pass along a smile..this smile comes from deep within your being, your spirit ..and as you share your essence with another human being...you pass along:  "YOUR SPIRIT of Christmas"..


Christmas is a gift to our world, a time to renew ourselves and pass along the Greatest Gift of All......YOURSELF.


                            MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!!!!!!

ANGELS ALL AROUND US ~ DO YOU SEE THEM?

^j^    Have you ever seen an angel?   I don't mean the human kind but a real living glowing angel?  The kind that are spoken of in the "Bible".    The Archangel's Gabriel and Michael.   I know the bible was written long ago and  many people don't believe in it as a Truth but a Story.   This argument goes on for decades; but are Angel's real?   Can we see them or hear them?  Have you seen them or have you really heard them?  Do you believe they are here to help direct us on the right path back to our beginnings and even into the eternal realm?

TRUTH is I have never seen an Angel; I would love to, but I have not.   Have I heard an Angel; maybe or maybe not!  I hear thoughts and I can write them out; as I am now doing, but is it MORE than just my own thoughts?  I'm not sure.  

What are your thoughts?  I would love to hear about them.  ^j^ ~ Please share them, Thank you!

THE AWAKENING OF YOUR SOUL~ Part II

10-13-11  11:30 pm   NOTES.......

I want to hear from my Blessed Angels tonight.  I'm feeling alone and unloved right now.


                                   ADDITIONAL NOTES.....

I am waiting for an Angel message.    ~

Angels are spiritual beings created by God ~ to carry messages to humans or other Angels.  Some are closer to earth than others.  Some never leave their spiritual realm of existence.  They just hold up the forces of nature!

We are coming into the time when Angels will be seen, in all their splendor.   Maybe -- we are already in that time, because time as we measure it is only here on earth.

Some people look to me as a Spiritual Teacher; but I only tell it like it is!

But this is not about me -- this time is devoted to my angels and what they want me to know.   I have so many questions?  Are crop circles real or are they a prank?  What are  there purpose-- to scare humans or to make them think and become aware-- if they weren't a fake then people would have observed the circle being made...Not a mystery to the people who own the farm or live in the area!   Just like space beings--who are they -- why do people just catch sightings and again no real proof of their existence!  It's like reading a fairy tale, something make-believe.

Then too with angels- why can't they just appear and speak to us, earthlings not just through thoughts...again it seems "not real" -- just an imagination journey.
 
And while all my thoughts fly by.....I hear the winds blowing outside and the rain pouring down again.  Are we in the End Times?  I can try to ignore it but it is very hard to.   Especially with all the wild weather, increasing earthquakes, strange lights in the sky, and noises emanating from the ground.  There is no place to hide, no place to run..just have to stay put and remember that IF the ground opens up under you and the sky falls, and you find yourself looking down from another spot...you will return to your soul's place of origin...in a twinkling of your eye you will be transported into another realm...this present earth body will have died and the essence of you will travel on...For you are not your body, nor your mind...but you are spirit.  

time ended 2:31 am        Thank you...Rayel.   (Seraphim)

NOTES: 10-17-11

Thank you, Trinity, for your many blessings.  Thank you for the air I breath and the food I eat.  Thank you for my family.  Thank you for my Mom & my siblings.  Thank you for my Dad, that I admired and loved so much.  He wasn't book smart but he was wise.  Thank you for all the life lessons I have had and I am still having.  Thank you for putting me into this terrific/horrific century of unrest and spiritual advancement.  Thank you Blessed Mother for being in my life for nurturing me in spiritual wisdom and for being forever feminine or how you have appeared to the masses and for your tender love always available to each soul here and in the hereafter.  Thank you for your gift of love in your son Jesus, who man turned against because of fear -- fear of the unknown.     RoseAnn

NOTES: 10-27-11

Who is my Guardian Angel and what is her name?  Ans:  Joyetta

Thank you.   Why do I get so down?    Joyetta:  Human frailties/  you can't be happy all the time.(laughing)


NOTES: 10-31-11  Halloween Eve time 10:15pm

Why is it that when I sit down and try to talk with my angels my mind goes blank?  Perhaps I really don't want to have conversations with angels, or is it because I really don't believe in angels?

Ans.  You believe in us; but you don't want anyone to tell you what to do!  (giggles)

NOTES: Eve of 11-11-11

People are talking about this really big event.   A colossal Star Gate opening, which will bring higher spiritual beings/and energies down to earth- This event they say will elevate our spiritual bodies - allowing our DNA to grow and make way for the raising of consciousness on this planet.

The level of Love energy of oneness will permeate the dimension of this world.  Somehow it still feels like a huge cosmic joke, and everyone involved are just kidding themselves to believing in fairy tales.

However, mankind has started to make changes to its awareness and the Earth itself is making larger changes --weather changes - violent storms- meting ice caps- moving earth shifts/continent/axis movement-all happening.  Now..

After the earth's upheaval so much devastation will be on earth.

These beings have come to negate big earth imbalances.   Not all earthlings will remain here on the new earth. They will be transported to their places of origin.

The earth will not be habitable for sometime after this catalytic event.  "Maybe eons."  The soul's/rather spirits that are in charge of rehabiltation will then create new lifeforms that the earth can support.  Those that are here in physical bodies will return to their spiritual realms.  They will judge themselves as to what they have learned in their many incarnations.  Some souls will chose to sleep or hibernate for eons until the new earth can be populated again.  Others will experience different world's and explore other ideas.   Some souls will remain in earth environments- similar too or exactly as they left behind on earth, when the "shift" occurred.   Never knowing anything has occurred.

Many will experience the "biblical" heaven and be content for a  "very long" time.  Remember time exists only here on the physical plane.   You are a "complete" being.  You do not need to wait or find your mate--You exist in the now and in the universe all at the same time.  You are a visitor here.  Some are trying to "awaken" others to the understanding of "forever".   But each soul/spirit will awaken on their own timeframe.  Just follow the Golden Rule..  "Do unto others as you would have it done unto you!"  "Do not kill out of anger, do not murder; do not covet."   Remember what you cause will have an effect.  "Karma."  Everything is directed back to you, the sender.  Be kind, slow to anger.  Feed the poor, House the homeless.  Practice good thoughts!

Be thankful for all that you have and give to others from your supply of goods.

You can only take "LOVE" with you when you leave your body behind....Earthly goods remain here!

Blessings from the Universal Guardians.......





  

CLASS REUNION ~ 50th ~ Garfield High School Class of 1961

If your high school class is fortunate to have a 50th year reunion, make sure you GO to it!  My class had our's last night at the The Venetian on River Road in Garfield, New Jersey.   We had a nice turn out, the buffet was hugh and the drinks and dessert was outrageous.  We danced to "OUR" Music and reacquainted with each other.   I speak for myself....I had a great time; but I left there with a sadness in my heart by knowing that this day had passed....and I might never again laugh and joke with these childhood friends again.   We were the survivors of our Class...some 50 odd had already left the earth plane.  There were many surprises in the names written on our wall of memorial.  We remembered them ...  for that is all we can do ...  and as it was said, we are a bit older, but wiser; a little grayer, but we earned it; mellowed and possibly a bit slower, but we're fast enough for us; for 50 years after graduation brought us to this night.

So special thanks to our committee: Larry & Elaine, Annette, Dolores, Marilyn and Gail for the great job they all did putting this Gala Affair On.   Thanks for all the out of towners that showed up...that covers most of us there last night.  A wonderful night and Carpe Diem to all of us, for today, tomorrow and forever!

A toast to the Class of 1961!

HOW TO DO A HEALING SPIRITUAL MEDITATION!

1.  First begin by calming your mind.  Forgive people for all real & imagined hurts.  Visualize all negative thought energy as black.  Think of a vacuum cleaner moving from the top of your head to the bottom of your feet: Sucking up and pushing out of your body ALL the darkness from pain and hurt of whatever disease is manifested in your body.

2.  Create a light blue halo above your head (representing your spirit guide) whom you call upon for help - while sending out loving thoughts.  Spend five mins. concentrating on your breathing in & out.  Harmonize your breathing with the rhythm of your body/heart beat.

3.  Visualize your white blood cells as bubbles and move them inside and all around your body ... see them attacking and killing all the black cancer cells, dissolving them.

4. If you are receiving chemo support this treatment by sending out Lavender color ~ as an infrared heat lamp to all parts of your body.

5.  Now send out the color green for healing the damaged cells from the effects of the cancer.   Use the color blue of your spirit guide intermittently during the difficult times.  Pick your own shade and think of the green as a flowing liquid mending your insides.

6.  Your last step is to create the blue halo around your head to sustain mental strength and courage over a weakened body.  Expand IT around yourself as a body shield.  Think of yourself as totally healed and close by repeating the mantra ~ HEAL, HEAL, HEALED and you are!  

THIS IS A VERY POWERFUL MEDITATION FOR HEALING.

DESTINY OF SOULS ~ Michael Newton, PH.D.

As you can see, I am an avid reader, so here is another book review:    Title: Destiny of Souls by Michael Newton, PH.D.  This is a book about Case Studies of Life between Lives.    Dr. Newton uses hypnosis to regress his patients back into their soul experiences.   Over the years he has compiled many accounts of soul information and he has documented them.  He has noticed a familiarity in what these patients have told him.

He talks about the following subjects:  Our purpose on Earth, Where Souls Go after life, The soul/brain connection, Soulmates and other topics.  You can visit his website:  www.newtoninstitute.org  

We as humans are at the crossroads of our earth experience...we are reviewing our thoughts and our ideas of what life is all about.   Dr. Newton's research is both illuminating and controversial  so I leave this information in your hands to accept or reject his studies.  

Diamonds In the Dust ~ by Shirley Mowat Tucker

This book is a moving story about christian love, forgiveness and faith.  The main character, Mrs. Morgan finds herself as a unwilling foster parent to a group of orphans.  She friends them and becomes involved in a mystery of events that lead her into deeper and deeper involvement with these helpless children.  The book takes on a life of its own and the reader becomes totally involved in this story.  I highly recommend this book to teenagers and adults alike!  Story based on life in South Africa.

This book is the Grand Prize Winner of Athanatos Christian Ministry's First Annual Christian Novel Contest and it is just going into print...I had the honor of receiving a review edition, and submitting a book review.   Look for it coming soon.   Athanatos Publishing Group ISBN 978-0-9822776-9-0

THE AWAKENING OF YOUR SOUL ~ Part 1

We are in a rather interesting cycle it is called by some as The Awakening, The End Times, The Ascension!  So much fear has been associated with all three of these titles.    My hope is to explain them in a childlike manner.  I am not a fancy scholar and without a dictionary ~ I can't spell too well.   So I ask you to bear all this in mind.  Thank you.

All these titles mean that Our Soul which is eternal is facing Graduation Day.   Each of our bodies has this spirit being inside of us, and it is us.   It is the part that connects us directly to the Infinite One, The One who created us in his likeness.  GOD.

We feel separation and abandonment because we are visiting EARTH in the clay body.   After we were born our soul/spirit was sort of cemented into our body.  Before the soul was totally held captive in our body it could float free and it had a choice to leave the earth vehicle or continue on its earth path with this body that IT chose.  The soul had approximately three months after birth to decide if it would take on this assignment.

In this new millennium, many cycles are ending.   Most of us souls here on earth today, have been waiting for this special time for many eons.   We are immortal beings, God or The Presence, created us and the time for us old souls to move on or to merge in to the Godhead is rapidly approaching.  Everything and everyone in our world and throughout the Universe is also moving up.  Our planet, Earth, is also spiralling upwards so the the next generation of human beings will have increased their mind power.   So this development of the functions of mind will be so amazing, it will enable man to create more powerful and peaceful technologies and they will grow in love and empathy.   Boundaries that the "old world" thinking has will have fallen away and the earth will have renewed its self.  

Again I say this is the natural order of things.   We are all energy in action and we will not fade away or blow away with the ashes of this planet.   There is no running or hiding or taking sides.  There is only GOD and each of us is always within our loving Father/Mother's thoughts.  There will be celebrations and much joy; as we all return to the place of our Soul's origin.  I repeat "there will be celebrations and much joy; as we ALL RETURN to the place of our Soul's origin."    Are we DYING ... yes to the OLD and AWAKENING to the NEW WORLD.

HOW TO GET THINGS DONE! NOT!

Sometimes in life you get sidestepped, you do this to yourself out of either fear of the unknown outcome or fear of failure.   You put your life on hold with the excuse of your children needing you or your husband's needs.  You really don't realize how much time you are wasting by putting others ahead of your own needs and dreams.  Then finally you have the time to pursue your hopes and dreams and you realize you still can't do it.  You are still hiding away from life; and you are doing it all by yourself.   The dream may still be alive; but your ambition isn't...you have forgotten HOW TO get it accomplished, so again you sit back and do nothing.

I totally know this is happening to me; and yet I can not figure out how to change this pattern.  Because of this thought pattern I lock myself out of activities with so many excuses,  I have a headache; I don't feel good; I'm tired; too much traffic....the list of excuses goes on and on.

So if you need to get things done; don't read my blog; because I DON"T KNOW HOW!

IN THE AFTERMATH OF HURRICANE IRENE

The actual storm has passed through the Eastern seaboard of the USA, leaving destruction and remnants of roads, towns, homes, people are still without electricity and some have no homes to return to.  My heart is so sad for all these people.  I have been blessed, my home weathered the storm well.  Today my grandson, Damon and his friend, Jason and myself picked up leaves, broken branches filling up 6 containers, which our local garbage collectors picked up today.  The yard is still full of broken branches and a few smaller trees that fell during the storm...which in the next few days will have to be removed also.   But this is still nothing to what other families have to face in the coming weeks and months.   My neighbors roof still has three large trees sitting on it; awaiting the tree removers to arrive.  The staggering amount of revenue lost and claims to be paid out will probably be in the millions of dollars.

I would like to offer this prayer to all those in their time of need:   "The WILL of GOD will never take you where the GRACE of GOD will not protect you.   GOD OUR FATHER WALK WITH ALL THOSE IN NEED AND TAKE AWAY ALL WORRIES and illnesses and let MIRACLES abound HEALING EACH one of your children here on Earth.     AMEN

This last weekend of August 2011 has made history....after an Earthquake in Virginia and a Hurricane along the coast.   I know my nerves are frayed ...  how are yours?

Earthquake 8-23-11

I wanted to post this event that happened today.  The East Coast, from Virginia up to Maine was hit by a 5.9 quake today.  Epicenter in Mineral Springs, Virginia.  Shock waves went out thru Washington DC up the coast thru Philadelphia, Southern Jersey, New York City.   Far west to Chicago...into Maine.  Another quake hit the Colorado area.  (This was played down as not having to do with the Virginia quake.)  Damage minimal.

A hurricane is churning up the Atlantic...heading up the East coast.

The forecasts for this weekend...unless the storm dies down are not good.

I did not feel the quake here upstairs in my room.  Salvatore felt it downstairs.  I went down to talk to him and I became slightly dizzy.  The feeling lasted in me for a few hrs.   Angela and Mom in Parsippany also felt the quake.  Have to write this down.  My Mom thought she had a Ghost rocking her chair.  I said so you're going to blame Dad for teasing you.  We laughed about that.  Before the quake hit...the dogs in the neighborhood would not stop barking.  Also I had just posted a prayer on facebook, which I post here:  "The Will of God will never take you where The Grace of God will not protect you.  God, Our Father walk through my house and take away all worries and any illnesses.  Please watch over and heal my family in your name. Amen"

This Quake could have been very damaging; but we were spared.    Mother Earth is rocking and rolling, and we are all in it together.   May God Almighty Protect us all!

My Arboretum day trip/Sun. Aug 21, 2011

Today I decided to do something different and that something different took shape in my traveling to Morristown and visiting the Frelinghuysen Arboretum.   When I do something on the spur of the moment I just do it.  I guess I'm just tired of spending too much alone time at home.   The summer is on the way out already and I just haven't enjoyed any real vacations.   My children are out and about and for some reason my circle of friends has just about disappeared too.  So it was time I took the lead in my own life...I saw an ad for weekend happenings and I took a bottle of water, and my carefree spirit and just got into my Chevy and road on down to Morristown to see the  Morris County Park Commission presentation of Medicinal Plants of the Civil War exhibit, which will be ongoing until the end of September, 2011.    May I also add this was a free admission, too.    If I had a date it would have been a nice Sunday afternoon stroll thru the gardens.   But unfortunately...it was just me, myself and I that strolled thru the gardens and wow did we enjoy the day.   Sometimes you just have to get up and get out, even IF you do it alone.   The day was sunny and bright, there were lots of places to relax and enjoy the butterflies, bees (which if you leave them alone they will just go about their business of harvesting the pollen.)  The local squirrels were far to busy and just ignored you too.  I guess there really is no excuse not to enjoy life; because life is all around you, just for the viewing!

Visit Your Library

When was the last time you visited your hometown library?  I attend various events at my library, and it usually costs nothing except the gas to get there.   This past week I attended a historical food lecture of Tea History.  The speaker was Judith Krall Russso, food historian & tea specialist.  Judith was an outstanding lecturer and so very knowledgeable about her passion.   I was totally amazed at her presentation, and maybe because my life has been so limited to my family for so many years, she opened up doors to new thoughts.  "Tea's"!  If anyone cares to contact her here is her website .. www.teafoodhistory.com    She lectures at events, will do small parties, and so much more.   Judith lives in Fords, N.J.      Remember the local libraries are funded by your taxes
so use them and enjoy the wonder it holds to open up avenues of communications and wonderful mini vacations in the books that you can read.   Jefferson Twsp Library, my hometown opening to the wonders of the world!

Today...8-19-2011

Today I almost lost my blog.   No I'm not kidding.   I somehow got disconnected an had to go in to FIND my dashboard.    This is really funny.   I only thought dashboards were in cars.   But then what do I know...I am not that computer smart.  Computers can be run by 3year olds these days...so what does a 68 year old woman think she can do.  Well as you see I am posting a new article...so somehow I was able to find the right spot and I did it without the help of my son..."The Computer Geek."  LOL   NOW TO POST & HOPE IT WORKS.

THE OCEAN WALK

THE OCEAN WALK

by Roseann Procopio on Sunday, August 7, 2011 at 3:04pm

I walked along the beach, feeling the cool rush of the cold New Jersey waves hit against my legs. As I walked I searched the sands for a token of the seas.  I noticed many broken shells and fast moving sea weed.  I bent down and caressed the feel of the water and the spray of the salt,  then I noticed a shinny sea shell.  I picked it up and examined it closely it was perfect.

My mind flashbacked to that one perfect day that we all walked on the boards in Seaside Height, NJ.   Frank and I, holding hands and walking behind our kids: Denise, Andrea and Joe.   I remember that I could see each of my children at the age they were then, and their phantom bodies of them at their younger ages.  Denise, 8, Andrea, 5 & Joseph at 3.   It was a picture perfect day; a day that I felt so good, a day forever eched in my mind.

Now that I am older and alone, the kids grown and married with families of their own - that day was a reflection of the past reminding me that life too passes quickly by.   I cherish this memory and I hope that each of you reading this, will have or have had a special moment in time.

LIFE THOUGHTS

Change is the biggest thing in your life.    From an infant your life is always changing.   You grow up far too fast and things around you seem to get smaller everyday.   I walked around my home the other day; and I noticed how small it has gotten.   I have far to many things hanging around.   Even though I have been vigorously cleaning and disposing of all the extra's I still have much more to part with.   I have been living in this house since 1973 so that alone causes one to compile lots of stuff.  My children have all move out; and naturally left me a "few" things to hold on to also.   Have you tried to get them to come over and "pick up" their discarded objects.  In one word "HARD"; but do you remember how "HARD" it was to get them to pick up their discarded toys or clothes; well it is the same.  I am ready to "move on"; to part with my things and to relief the sense of "clutter" in my personal life, too.  For some reason unknown to me my children have all become so wise and me not so much.    They feel that because I have gotten "old" 68 I can no longer address my problems or rather solve them.   Well anyhow, I welcome CHANGE and I really LOOK forward to the new horizon's in my life.    How are you doing in your life?

 

A POEM BY ME 7-10-07

SOME WRITE ABOUT MOUNTAINS AND PRAIRIES.


SOME WRITE OF PAIN AND DEATH.


SOME QUESTION THEIR EXISTENCE,


SOME MASTER THEIR WISDOM,


SOME SLEEP AND JUST WAIT, 
 NO LONGER AWARE- THAT LIFE BLOSSOMS
                                                                AND WANES.


AND ME I JUST SIT AND STARE...


AWARE OF THOUGHTS NOT QUITE MINE ALONE.


IT IS EASY TO GUESS AND LET LIFE PASS ME BY, TO SCARED TO RETREAT, TO WEARY TO BELONG.


A STAR BY ITSELF, NEW TO THE WORLD...LET'S STRIKE UP THE BAND!

THE CLAM ~ BY RoseAnn Procopio

You can spend your life living in a shell - just taking in the fluids of life, or you can soar like a bird on high!

You can allow fustrations to build up in your life, an irritation, or you can ignor the irritation and continue to cover it up not venting, just existing.

The irritation can be ignored or dealth with.   Inside the clam that speck of sand is changed into a pearl.

The clam never realizes the beauty it has generated but one day it will be harvested and this pearl of great value will be found.

This is how the soul is ~ The soul lives inside of man unbeknowed to him. Mankind doesn't feel this soul.  Some accept that the soul exists, others think it is the resonance of their own mind or thoughts!

Regardlesss of how one thinks or not the spiritual truths shall be revealed in a blink of ones eye.

When the earth shifts and turns, all beings will be in the area' of their preexistence.   In a flash of light in a micro-minute.  The souls will be thrown out into space and time ~traveling thru to their final destinations.   Some will be fully awake to experience this great adventure and others will be asleep.   Some souls will feel like they never left their earth existence.  They will awaken in their own room and never notice this vast change has occurred.  They will not know that they are missing family or friends because those memories will have been wiped out.   All will appear to be normal.  JUST ANOTHER DAY!

Book Review #3

Just went to the Library today and picked up three books to read.   As I am still reading  Tomorrow's God, by Neale Donald Walsch and some parts are a little hard to understand, I thought I would put it aside and read some fun books.   To lighten up my life; and not dwell on the difficult situations.   Here are the books I am going to read:   (1) Travel Guide to Heaven by Anthony Destefano....which is written with humor.  (2) Random Acts of Kindness The Editors of Conari Press book of short essays and quotes of various people.  (3) Bird Cloud by Annie Proulx about her love of the Wyoming Wetlands.  It documents her family history and the building of her house.     All three books seem to be interesting reads.   Will follow up on my opinions...naturally after I read these editions.  

UNIVERSAL TRUTH'S

I have been asked to put together a class of Meditation on the Universal Law's.  So I am preparing for this event.   I have been a student of the Mystical Nature of God, actually all of my life.   As are all of us here on Earth.   Some of us actually know that we are students in this passage of time; others are not quite sure of any affiliation with the divine.  Most people operate within the realm of God's law/love all the time.  These are those people who attend their places of worship and follow all the man made rules that have been handed down from generation to generation.   Many of these people excel in the art of meditation; they use the vehicle of prayer to reach their inner most thoughts.   Outwardly they are good citizens of their selected country.   They have an inner light to do good and to help all people, they also have an inner light that shines so bright; that they can attract many good people to themselves.   This is a universal law:  Light attracts Light.    People who do good all the time attract good to them.  

There are many people on earth that do not believe in a structural environment, and are not involved in a church or temple, or a structured religion; and yet these people also are doing good and receiving good all the time.   They also use the universal truth of Like attracts Like.    What you project outwardly you receive, back to yourself.    This is also called the Law of Karma.

AN UNSPOKEN HUNGER .... By Ina C. Schoonover
"A Ukrainian Story of Hope and Survival"

Ina's book covers the people of this great land, and how they survived during the "Artificial Famine" under Stalin.    She tells the story through the eyes of her main character: Staddee Baba.  This is a moving story, which I found hard to put down.  Her book covers romance, mystery and a way of life for the people of the Ukraine.  Ina is a true storyteller, her writing flows consistent during the book.  This story had to be told and she tells it beautifully.

World Changing Positive Affirmations:

I AM PEACE; The world is Peace.

I AM LOVE; The world is Love.

I AM COMPASSION; The world is Compassion.

I AM UNDERSTANDING; The world is Understanding.

I AM ACCEPTING; The world is Accepting.

I AM HEALED;  The world is Healed.

Book Review

GOD'S GAME    Author: Barry Reiter

This is  Dr. Reiter's first book.  It is his philosophy of life. He has written it to anyone who "wants to accept a similar view or way of coping with and explaining life's events."  I found it to be humorous, interesting, universal, acceptable to any and all religious or spiritual points of view.  His take on life and death has a interesting shift on his version of the Game of Life, and his view of the Creator's plan for all of us her on earth.   If you have read any thoughts or books on the new spirituality or tomorrow's god..his ideas sort of match up.  Dr. Reiter is a truly wonderful human being and his book is a must read.      Please note that this is an unsolicited book review by me...Dr Reiter is one of my physicians.

my practice thoughts

Being a first time blogger is hard...no one around to show me what to do.   I'm a product of the old school...graduated in 1961..   had 3 children... now retired.  Wondering what my future steps will be.
What are some of the things that other children of the 50's 60's doing to pass time?

Thoughts of a Mystic Rose
