I was recently reading a book to an elderly lady who is from Europe and has a hard time understanding English at times. The man in the book was talking about his Faith. She said "What is Faith?". First of all, I had never met an adult who didn't understand the word faith. I had no idea how to translate Faith in her native language. I told her that Faith is believing in something or someone without actually seeing it or having proof that it exists. She didn't understand. Faith is trusting that something that you are looking forward to will happen without knowing for sure. She still didn't understand. Faith is knowing in your heart that there is a higher power than us even though we have no logical proof. I just didn't seem to get through to her. I continued to give her examples to try to help her understand. Still nothing.
Could it be possible that this woman had gone through her entire life without having faith in anyone or anything, without ever trusting. It is almost sad to think about. She is someone who lets fear rule her life, so maybe she has no faith, in anything, therefore she wouldn't know what it is.
Where would I be today if I had no Faith that there was a God, Spirit, a Higher Power. It was impossible for me to even fathom. I have complete faith that Spirit guides me in my life. I rely on this guidance. I may not always think about it, but Faith it is. My heart feels it and my mind knows it. It is the most important thing in my life.
This is my absolute favorite saying:
When you have come to the edge of all the Light you have known
and are ready to jump into the Darkness,
FAITH
is knowing one of two things will happen.
You will either have something to stand on
or you will be taught how to fly.
Maybe this will help you to think about what you have faith in. I hope so.
Thanks for letting me share.

Cause and Effect
I am sure you have heard the old saying by Isaac Newton, "For every action there is an opposite and equal reaction". That is known as Newtons Third Law of Motion. I have always associated that with a physical action but it has recently come to my attention that it doesn't only mean 'physical'. In the spiritual realm, I believe it is called the "Law of Karma". I am beginning to see and understand that this Law of Karma also applies to thoughts and emotions, not just physical forces. What we think and feel also has vibrational energy that is just as real and forceful as any physical action we could choose to take. We have actually known this for years, but how many of us have truly paid attention to it? In the Bible we are told "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he". "Whatever a person sows, that shall they also reap". So, if you are hateful, angry, unforgiving or judgemental....what should you expect to be returned to you? If you are loving, caring, forgiving and accepting...what should you expect to be returned to you?
I have to say I am really tired of all of us thinking that our way is the only 'Right' way because someone else has taught us to be unforgiving and judgemental and we have not been taught to think for ourselves! We try to brainwash our children, spouses, family and friends to think just like us. Actually, it is what I am trying to do to you now...because I believe my way of being accepting, forgiving, loving and non-judgemental is better than the way the world is currently headed. As a human race, we have spent more time fighting, being at war and trying to force our beliefs down the throats of all those who do not think just like us. Who decided what is right and wrong? I really don't think that job was left to 'man'. 'Man' has screwed it up for thousands of years and all of us are beginning to reap what we have sown. Not only have we killed, maimed and harmed other human beings, we are killing, maiming and harming our earth. Our earth is beginning to rebel and 'She' will have the final word. 'She' is effectively starting to cleanse the harm we have caused through numerous avenues such as floods, volcanos, hurricanes, droughts and disease.
The Karma we are experiencing is going to grow exponentially over the next few years as we now have much to pay for. Many of us are beginning to see the need to reverse our actions in order to reverse the effects we are now experiencing. We need to consider taking a much closer look at how we are treating our fellow human beings and our earth in order to start the process of reversing our current paths. Remember, you get back what you give out....and what we have given out has not been very beneficial, so please start thinking of making "Do No Harm" your philosophy for your fellow human beings, the earth and yourself.
Thank you for sharing your time with me.

Proud to be a Whale
Recently, in a large French city, a poster featuring a young, thin, tan woman appeared in the window of a gym:
"THIS SUMMER DO YOU WANT TO BE A MERMAID OR A WHALE?"
A middle aged woman, whose physical characteristics did not match those of the woman on the poster, responded publicly to the question posed by the gym.
To Whom It May Concern:
Whales are always surrounded by friends (dolphins, sea lions, curious humans). They have an active sex life, they get pregnant and have adorable baby whales. They have a wonderful time with dolphins stuffing themselves with shrimp. They play and swim in the seas, seeing wonderful places like Patagonia, the Barren Sea and the coral reefs of Polynesia . Whales are wonderful singers and have even recorded CDs. They are incredible creatures and virtually have no predators other than humans. They are loved, protected and admired by almost everyone in the world.
Mermaids don’t exist. If they did exist, they would be lining up outside the offices of Argentinean psychoanalysts due to identity crisis. Fish or human? They don’t have a sex life because they kill men who get close to them not to mention, how could they have sex? Therefore they do not have kids either. Not to mention who wants to get close to a girl who smells like a fish store?
The choice is perfectly clear to me; I want to be a whale.
P.S. We are in an age when media puts into our heads the idea that only skinny people are beautiful, but I prefer to enjoy an ice cream with my kids, a good dinner with a man who makes me shiver and a coffee with my friends. With time we gain weight because we accumulate so much information and wisdom in our heads that when there is no more room it distributes out to the rest of our bodies. So we aren’t heavy, we are enormously cultured, educated and happy. Beginning today, when I look at my butt in the mirror I will think:
“Good gosh, look how smart I am.”

It's all about self respect
Food for Thought
There is a policy at work, “No facial rings or clips shall be worn during working hours.” I have a young co-worker who defies this rule as often as she can. When our supervisor leaves for the day, the jewelry goes back on her cheek.
There is also a lot of drama in her life, boys come and go and she can’t figure out why the relationships don’t last. The next time I noticed the ornament back on her face, I used this as an example to explain her unhappy love life. I stated, “You are being disrespectful to your employer by defying a company policy, therefore, you are also being disrespectful to yourself. The boys take advantage of you because they sense this of you.”
I gave her something to think about as she looked at me with no answer.
Life is a wonderful classroom. I am grateful to have the opportunity to share some of my knowledge with others. I hope it brought the message home for my co-worker.

Blessings from 'The Heavens'
Since reading the book Hiring The Heavens, by Jean Slatter, my life is so much fun!
The Heavens and spiritual guides are here to assist us, all we have to do is ask. Whenever I have a challenge I say out loud “I want to hire the Heavens, I need a decorator to help me choose the right pictures for the living room wall”. Boom! I start to get ideas, see pictures that catch my eye. I have hired; a mechanic to figure out why the MAINTENANCE REQUIRED light came on in my car. The time spent at the shop was minimal, at no cost, and it turned out the mechanic had forgotten to reset the button the last time he serviced the car.
I hired a landscaper to assist me in figuring out what to do with a corner in my yard. That same day I asked the gardener if he had suggestions, he did, we talked about it, he went and got the materials he needed while I went to the nursery for the plants. Now everything flows and is pleasing to look at. One morning going to work, I thought “Well if this works out so well, then I want to hire a maid to assist in cleaning the house.” My daughter had the day off, when I came home she had just finished vacuuming, and mopping the floors!! Oh my gosh, I was so happy inside I could burst!!
I have hired accountants, comedians, nutritionists, investment advisors. This latter one took one or two weeks, then Boom! I met a banker and an investment person, both offered to look over my assets. They came to me, I did not have to find them!!
I highly recommend this book and new approach to daily life. What a beautiful blessing from The Heavens!

Rune Reading Information
Workshops (3 hours) -
"A Mirror for the Magic of Our Knowing Selves"
This class provides a history and introduction to working with RUNES. The 1st part of the class is spent on : what the different types of RUNES are and what their historical significance has been through centuries. The 2nd is used to: demonstrate and explain various RUNE casts and layouts of readings that can be done. The 3rd part of the class is : "hands-on" practice in reading a RUNE cast for each other in the class.
Each participant is encouraged to bring their own set of RUNES to the class. A notebook of RUNE descriptions and casting layouts will be provided and included in the cost of the workshop..
A workshop can be scheduled for five or more people at $25 per person. Pre-payment with reservation is required.. Location and time of the workshop will be determined by the person scheduling the group.
Any other workshops offered by me personally will be posted on this website under "Workshop Announcements" and will include date, time, cost, and method of acceptable payment (if any).
Private Readings-
READINGS and RUNE CASTS
Depending on the layout and time required to read the RUNE cast, private readings are offered for $30-$250, keeping in mind that the most extensive layout includes 9 RUNES and takes a minimum of 90-120 minutes. An appropriate RUNE cast, approximate time the reading will take, and cost for the reading will be determined at the time the appointment is booked.
ANCIENT NUMEROLOGY RUNE CAST
I have added a new form of RUNE cast that involves ancient RUNIC numerology that was shown to me by "Spirit Guide", Volwak, and is not a system developed by other RUNE Divinators or RUNE Castors-to my knowledge. It is based on your full name and birth date. This cast will reveal your strengths, weaknesses, and where you need to focus your present energies. One of the really exciting elements of this type of RUNE cast involves revealing your "SOUL" RUNE. This casting can be done long distance once I receive your initial information. The results will be sent to you, along with an original "pastel drawing" of your "personally individualized" RUNE Charm that I will intuitively create using the RUNES from your cast. This reading ranges in price from $100-$200, depending on whether you would like to include a three RUNE cast to this numerological reading. The incredible aspect of doing both is that the 3 RUNE cast reveals "You Now", "The Challenges" this poses for you, and the "Best Possible Outcome" once you've met these challenge. It is a powerful way to reinforce what your numerology RUNE cast reveals for you.
*******Phone Readings are available with 1-3 Rune Spreads for $30-$60 with appointment made in advance to determine time and date of reading. Payment will be discussed at time of setting appointment..

I Believe….We Should EMBRACE Emotions, and NOT Fret the FUNKY
How many times have you wandered through your day(s) feeling “strange” , “out of sorts” , “can’t put-your-finger-on-it funky”? You watch the hours go by slowly, just counting the minutes until you can leave work or stop a dreaded task you are involved in, so you can “call it a day” and hop in the sack-pulling the covers over your head, hiding from the outside world until you can wake up to a new day refreshed and raring to go? Has this ever happened to you? If you think it hasn’t, you are fooling yourself and think you are successfully pulling the wool over the eyes of the rest of us. I truly believe that EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US has experienced this “BLUE FUNK” at least once in a lifetime…it’s a natural human condition, after all, to feel other than 100% fantastic at least sometimes- RIGHT?
OK, here’s what I think. The issues we have the most Fear (and sometimes Joy) about are those things that need the quickest and longest attention. We are reticent about addressing them because we feel it will take too much time away from other things/people/jobs/responsibilities (god forbid we should feel that we deserve to take time for ourselves to think ABOUT ourselves) and addressing them may even put us in a “blue funk” and we never want to “go there” if we can help it. I wonder what would happen if each of us designated a part of one day each month or, better yet, each week to do just that….to take a close look at one or more of the following:
(1) What/who pushes your buttons? (2) What takes your breath away? (3) What gives you palpitations in your chest? (4) What brings on tears? (5) What brings on anxiety? (6) What makes you smile? (7) What makes you cry? (8) What makes you laugh? (9) If you could be ANYBODY else, Who would you be? (10) If you could DO anything else than what you are currently doing, What would you DO?
I venture to bet that by addressing ANY of the questions above, you will either love yourself and/or other(s) more or less; question yourself and/or other(s) more or less; look at life/job/responsibilities/moral dilemma(a), etc. more or less seriously; learn to laugh at yourself/others more or less; spend more or less on therapy and just plain look at life a whole lot differently. HOW COULD YOU NOT? It’s all LIFE and it’s ALL GOOD-or BAD…but at least, if you are fogging a mirror every day, it’s more than likely better than the alternative.
Embrace your emotions, Friends! And DON’T FRET the FUNKY!
Thanks for letting me share my time and thoughts with you . I invite you to check back with us soon to hear other words of wisdom on this site, www.fromme2youonline.com
You are appreciated!

Stand By Me
I heard a song "Stand By Me" that was recorded by some people who are promoting changing the world through music. They have gone around the world and have recorded and intertwined all the music from the people all singing this song. It is awesome and made me think about the lyrics - Stand By Me. I truly believe that if we were all to do just that one thing the world would be perfect.
Please, if you get a chance, go to http://www.playingforchange.com and listen to the music. It will make your heart sing and allow your soul to soar! It makes me grateful for all that I have and for all the blessings I have been give and more importantly I am grateful and blessed by all the people willing to "Stand By Me"! Thank You! I appreciate each and every one of you!
Please visit our website From Me 2 You Online and "Stand By Me".
I wish you peace, prosperity and passion!

The Shack - Book Review
A friend of mine sent me a wonderful book the other day. The book was so good I finished it in one day. It is called "The Shack" by William Paul Young.
It is a story about a man who had a very hard childhood. His father was an alcoholic and beat him. Then after he was married and had a family, he had something very traumatic happen. He blamed God for this. So God wrote him a letter inviting him to meet with God. The man decides to take him up on the invitation. Since the man had never known a loving father, it is hard for him to trust God. God shows him in a very caring and often humorous way that he is loved. The conversations the man had with God were so insightful that I know the book had to be Divinely inspired. What validated this thought for me was an acknowledgement in the book that the author only had $200 for an advertising budget and because of word of mouth, it is now on the New York Times Best Seller List. With God, you don't even need an advertising budget. He takes care of everything for you.
"The Shack" is an amazing story that will make you laugh and cry and possibly change the way you think about your relationship with God. I recommend it highly.
Thanks for letting me share this with you.
Have a miraculous day.
