What happens when we drop a pebble in a pond?
The ripples spread . . . out they go . . . further and further.
Words are just like dropping a pebble into the pond. Words are incredible ~ they are so very, very powerful.
The feelings that come with the words will spread ~ Once spoken they can never be retrieved.
They can be constructive or destructive, helpful or unhelpful, give moral or totally demoralise. They can make someone feel loved or hated, pretty or ugley, worthwhile or useless.
Now ask yourself what affect you want to have on people you meet.
Make your words 'Positive Pebbles'.
Just like words, smiles and thoughts have an affect on those we meet.
You may never know the affect your smile will have on a stranger.
He or she might now feel that life is now worth living because you looked them in the eye and smiled ~ just for them!
Thoughts can bring us anything we want. Negative attracts negative. Is that what you want? Does it make you feel good to constantly think negative thoughts?
Negativity makes us fell despondent and angry.
Now being positive is the complete opposite! Think positive and you feel positive ~ anything is possible!
Aim for what you want and know that it can be. However only ask for what you want if it does not hurt or harm another.
Smile, for your smile will not only make you feel happier, it will reach out to others.
Think deeply about the words you use and how you use them.
Speak your words with love and make your ripples spread out to others.
You will be blessed. Walk your path with harm to none.

So many people say that they do not believe in 'God'.
Which 'God' do they not believe in? I feel that their perspective of 'God' is not how they see or think of 'God' but in the way they have been taught, or in the way that they feel others expect them to see.
Men and women ask why, if 'God' is good, is there is so much illness and devastation in the world. If this almighty power kept intervening in our lives we would complain that we had no free choice. So we are given a choice and we still complain! I reckon that the nasties in life are caused by man.
We cannot touch the thing we call 'God', nor can we touch the wind but we can feel it and if we take the time we can also feel the presence of an incredible power in our lives.
A 'God' by any other name can still be 'God'. Stop trying to believe in everyone else's 'God'. Call this incredible power what you will because it is your 'God'. Take time out of a busy life to stop and look around you.Always you will find beauty and strength. It can be in a sunset or a rose. It can be in the dew on a spider's web or the wonder of a babies smile. Here you will find your faith and belief. Find time to sit still, to stare at the sky, at the trees and hills. Soak in the sound of silence. Start to look for beauty. Be positive, kind and loving. Treat others as you would like to be treated. Harm no one. Believe ..... In healing, love, light. Believe in miracles.

REMEMBER!! Be careful what you think because thoughts are powerful ~ A thought is an action in process.
Also remember that each one of us has our very own 'Angel' from Spirit who walks with us every step we take in life.
Some miracles happen immediately ~ others take a little longer ~ be patient! Sometimes our requests to the Divine Source are answered in a way we least expect. The more we learn the more aware we become of how little we know!
Trying something new ~ not succeeding is not failure ~ not trying at all achieves nothing!
Always walk in Light, Truth and Love.
Walk your own path with harm to none.

The following is dedicated to our mother ~ an incredible woman who walked this earth for 92 summers.
My sister and I know that she walks beside us. We miss her physical presence but we feel the spiritual.
Believe.
Do you really think that I have left you? Why do you weep for me?
Why do you say that you will never see me again or that you will never hear my voice, feel the touch of my hand?
The only thing that has changed, is my body.
I do not need it any more.
I have returned home to Spirit but I am free to visit you whenever I wish, and I will!
Look out for me when, as you remember me, a breeze ripples the trees.
When you are down and the lights flicker, I am present.
A tiny feather floating from the sky or a rainbow of colour and joy ~ these are some of my signs.
Look out for them. Look out for the coincidences that bring me to your mind.
When you see someone in the street, a hand gesture or a smile and you think of me ~ there I am.
Speak to me constantly for I hear you.
I will talk to you if you quiet your mind and listen.
I will touch you if you do not push me away.
You will see me in your dreams. All I ask is that you believe.

The following words where written with two special young men in mind.
Seasons of Life
Remember the gentle spring flowers. They give us hope on cold dark days.
Their many colours bringing joy and blessings.
The yellows reflect the sunshine to give us warmth and happiness.
Red is energy for the year ahead.
Orange is strength to cope with all that comes our way.
Blue brings healing.
With pink comes love.
White reminds us that each day is a new page ready for new things to be written.
When the change of death renders these delicate flowers unseen we know that they are still there.
We cannot see them,
We cannot touch them,
We cannot smell them,
But when the year goes full circle they will return once more.
That is death! Just as life goes full circle from our birth in the spring of our life to living the summer.
Wisdom and old age is our autumn and death is our winter.
Death is change and as the spring flowers return so do we, just in a different form,
not seen, not touchable, but there.
Like ice on a river that melts only to reform elsewhere.
So we go from this side of living to the other, which is Spirit.
The biggest change we are afraid of is death, and yet this is a change that is around us every day.
Death is part of life.
We cannot have life without death, just as we cannot have death without life.
It is one and the same thing ~ just a tunnel between the two.
Would we deny the earth its chance to move on?
Would we deny our loved ones the opportunity to progress?
To move through the tunnel and on to the next step in the progression of life.... In fact perhaps after all there is no death ...... ......just life after life.
