005 - ONE WART

Golly, sometimes life is hard or at least confusing especially when it comes to warts.  I have someone I really thought he was a friend but this person I shall call 'X' just wasn't doing things my way. X was a manager I worked for a while back and had gone power mad or power hungry…not sure which.  X decided to exclude me from certain activities without telling me. However, I found out because others were bringing those things to my attention. It was affecting my attitude and my performance at that work place. I felt excluded, left out and my buttons were being pushed. I did angel work, and more angel work to find out why this was happening to me and what I could do to change this situation.  I finally decided after several months, it was no longer a friendly workplace and left that employer.  And, of course, X was NO LONGER MY FRIEND.

Chamuel, angel of relationships and careers & finder of lost things reminded me that we all have lots of identities.  For example, I have a driver ID, a sweetie ID, an angel therapist ID, a friend ID or perhaps 15 different friend ID’s, a student ID, a cook ID, a trader ID, a typist ID, an artist ID, a writer ID, etc.  We have hundreds of ID’s, and each one of them has different belief structures attached.  For example, think of two people you know.  There are subjects are safe to discuss with one of them, but not the other. Some things are OK to do with one friend but not the other.  Some of these ID can be kind, or perhaps rude, or have an 'attitude', or be helpful, caring, boring, mean, hateful, or, or, or.

Anyway, Chamuel suggested that because X had one ID I didn't like, didn't mean I had to end my relationship with ALL of X's ID's.  There are some of them I absolutely love, the card player, the golfer, the friend, the cook, the high diver, the fun laughing person, etc. So, since I no longer worked for the Power Mad ID we could still be friends.  This was really an eye-opener for me because in the past, I had always jettisoned the whole person.  I remember two friends that I STILL MISS after at least ten years because of some action one of their ID’s took.  I was unable to accept that a specific ID was just a PART of them…. to me it WAS them and I left the relationship and lost two friends.  I didn't want to do that again because friendships are very important to me, so decided to have Chamuel help me.

I asked Chamuel what to do to clean up my side of the street. His response was to clear up all past lives of negativity between X and myself, doing forgiveness’s for both of us for all of our parts in all of our lifetimes together. So he did the psychic work for me and I had to clean up the physical part which meant confronting X and trust me, I am normally a big, huge chicken when it comes to confrontation.   He eliminated my programs of 'exclusion,' 'being left out,' 'being upset,' 'losing,' 'being a chicken' and 'quitting.'  I have since been able to be friends with all the IDs this person has except the golfer part because I'm not playing golf right now and I don't high dive unless I am drunk so that is not an option. It is rather hard to get drunk if you don't drink the first drink. I am no longer employed by X, so I don't care about the 'power mad ID.'  That is X's problem so, we are golden and still friends.

So, the moral of the story is: If you have a friend and want to keep them you have to accept them….warts and all….  So, if one of your friends has a 'wart' and you are not getting along ask Chamuel out loud to get rid of the negativity between you and to clear your negative programs  and any 'warts' and he will.

Happy Holidays everyone. We - the angels and I - wish you many blessings as you go through this holiday season and into the new year.

Hugs and much love to you all -- Merry Christmas....Happy New Year and Happy Holidays as well.

004 Badge of Honor

Yesterday, Toni was cleaning out a room and it was our time to channel.  She brought up she was having trouble getting rid of stuff from her past - didn't seem to want to let go even though she has been retired for over a year.  She has lots of info from when she was a teacher and I have lots of stuff from when I was a computer systems admin…books of letters, proposals, summaries, procedures, etc.

So we hooked up and found out this problem is called a 'Badge of Honor.'   Perhaps like a boy or girl scout badge…which says, "look at me.. I did this good."  The items we keep - which in my case are twelve [12] 2', 2.5' or 3" 3-ring binders in my Oregon location and more in the Cal location about insurance that I haven't been involved in for about three years. Now that is a lot of paper just gathering dust and taking up space.  Then of course, there is the collection of the books I created for a software teaching firm in San Jose, and some things from Sun Micro, and my trading tapes, etc.  All of these were things I was personally proud of, and still occasionally brag about. Especially the trading because I made $43,000 in one month in 1999.  I haven't done it since but I still have bragging rights, AND I have the video's, notes, paper trades and various other paraphernalia to prove it. 

So, how helpful is all this stuff?  I can tell you it is currently taking up two shelves in a 4 foot wide bookcase - the floor to almost ceiling type, plus at least one drawer in a 4 drawer cabinet and that is only at one house, not to mention the originating files I have saved on my computer.  I found it interesting that I had to have the computer file and the paper file as well.  Wowser!!

Anyway, Chamuel, who is the go-to angel on careers and relationships, says we keep these type of things as a Badge of Honor because they make us feel good.  We did that.  We did it good - because of course, we don't save the stuff that makes us feel bad. We toss those things immediately, or at least hide it at the back on the bottom to probably be tossed later.  So, Chamuel suggested we keep ONE thing from each subject and especially that we get rid of the Badge of Honor 'program.'  For those of you new to angels, each of us creates programs in some lifetime to help control what we do or how we act.  Once a program is set up, you must do the action, it is no longer a choice, until the program is done or you cancel or eliminate it.  Some programs are helpful, like breathing, but others simply suck and this is one of those.

Well, neither of us was sure we wanted to get rid of the program but Chamuel explained that it was not helpful because we HAD to save stuff; it was no longer a choice.  Every time I would think about tossing the stuff, something in me just didn't want to toss it.  So, I saved and saved and saved, and just the other day I bought another bookcase because of course, I was running out of room.  So, if you have this problem also, just ask Chamuel to get rid of your Badge of Honor program, and he will.  Then you can easily decide if you want to keep one thing or toss ALL the stuff with great gusto!  You may also be able to get rid of all of those 'attagirl' and 'attaboy' plaques taking up space on your wall - you decide. I personally am going to have a full can for recycling on Thursday. 

[And I did!]

003 SEDONA

Sorry it’s been so long, but the Angels and I have been extremely busy. On Nov. 1, I had a procedure done on my heart to alleviate the issues that I was having and it worked. The angels had instructed me to NOT have the surgery, so I didn’t for almost two years, and when I got back to Salem this time, they said ‘do it.’  So I listened and went to the right doc, the right hospital, at the right time and so am much, much better but still recovering.
Then I rested for a couple of days in between packing for six months and playing cards nightly before I headed south to California until spring. I think this is called being a Snowbird, and as I drove south I imagined the Angels hanging desperately on to the side, back and top of my car. I’m not sure if I was driving faster than they can fly or not but at least they came with me or showed up.

I wanted to be with MY ‘Scruffy’ [a nickname Kerwin earned when he tried to grow a beard.]  I had a couple of days to unpack before we left for our vacation to Sedona - the land of red rocks. I was so excited that I was going to see the red rocks and here is a picture of the vision I had in my head. Kerwin suggested I check on explorer for Sedona photos but I didn’t need to do that because I knew what I wanted to see!

We left early on Friday afternoon, and started driving down toward Bakersfield. All sorts of lovely sights appeared as we started through the pass the next morning after staying all night in Barstow. The clouds were just incredible, so of course I took lots of pictures like this one. We had decided to take 40 E. which is part of the old Route 66. Part of it winds around through the town of Jerome; a berg with a one way street set on the side of a mountain.

When you come out of Jerome and are starting to go across the rest of the desert to Sedona, this is the sight that you see. And this is where Scruffy says: Oh look! There are the red rocks of Sedona!  You blink and you blink, and you certainly don’t see what you are looking for. Even though it is slightly red??? and sort of like an arch, and so you say, with great gusto: Turn around; I want to go to the other Sedona! 

Well, now it is a good thing that the Angels decided to come with us because their assistance is sorely needed at this point. Obviously I had an expectation and now I’ve got an attitude, so between Kerwin, the Angels and I, we managed to get me to a place where I was willing to continue the trip and I instead decided to go on an adventure to the REAL Sedona. Scruffy had no idea what he signed up for when he signed up with me, nor did I. But, we are working on it – with the angels continued assistance.  So onward!

And, of course, for those of you who have been there, as we round a final corner on the highway 29A, there are lots and lots and lots of red gorgeous rocks and rock formations to see.  This is where Scruff and I went on a morning walk that was just incredible.  He gets to drive and I take the photos, until I yell ‘stop,’ or ‘back up,’ or make a ‘Uey’ and ‘take that road,’ because there is another photo op. I have a belief I need them for material for my paintings. But he is patient and kind, and most of the time, complies.  This was one of those times and it was a lovely walk.   I took over 400 photos of the red rocks in and around Sedona and we even went to Red Rock state park.  It was so amazing to me to feel so good and to be able to walk, and know that golf is just a few months away. Had a thought about maybe I was doing too much, but it was just a thought and anyway it had been two whole weeks. Prior to the surgery, I had to drive up to the office which is 2 blocks, and now I was walking half a mile at a crack. Wowie!   

After Sedona, we proceeded on to Flagstaff to meet our friends from Salem, Janet and Newell for breakfast.  Then on to Mesa to spend Thanksgiving with Scruff’s adopted mom Mary who is 80 and also to meet her new beau, George, who is moving in as soon as he can sell his home.  So, if any of you think you are too old to find love, you just aren’t looking in the right places, or perhaps you have a program blocking you?  We also learned a new card game called Arizona Rattlesnake… fun…and you guessed it… Scruffy won!  Finally, we stopped at his parents in Carlsbad for a short overnight visit and then came home. Phew!!!!  2111 miles, 1244 photos [not counting the ones I deleted] and 10 camera batteries. And no, they were not the rechargeable ones which someone informed me would be better – even though I didn’t ask for their input. Back home, I needed to rest from the vacation, finish the 2500 piece jigsaw puzzle and go back to recuperating before I have my 6 week checkup, so now I gotta get well in a hurry.  Of course, I overdid it….because that what you do on a vacation and Duh….I am blond … remember?

On the trip, in between walking, shopping, cards, a fabulous reading from another psychic and other things, I worked on Book ‘0’, which is a chart book for those of you who work with pendulums to heal yourself or others, or want to learn to do that. It is about 90% done so will be ready around the first of the year for purchase.  It will also be tied into Book 1, which the angels told me this week.  I am to write 29 books, plus the blog and on the trip they told me to learn Twitter, so I guess I will be ‘tweeting’ as well. Wonder how Scruffy will handle that?  Ah well, more will be revealed. 

Happy Holidays to all of you from both of us!

Hugs,

Marge
