This has a bit of a creepy looking screen shot (like a green alien with horns haha) but it's really a nice video with beautiful music. Just give it a try for 10 seconds, and if you don't like it..then no harm done.
Love & Light to you all!

SAKS (Small Acts of Kindness)
I recently heard an interview where a woman in England would fill small jam (or jelly) jars with loose change and take them into local charities. This is just another form of tithing.
** (I never even heard of tithing, since I don't go to any type of church, until I watched a polygamy show on tv - by the way that will be a post one of these days. Not everyone can be packaged into a small identity box. I like the Brown Family and I think their kids are great! Again...that's a post for another day)**
So...back to subject. Years ago there was a movie "Pay It Forward". It was a great movie with a story of how a person can receive help or something positive in their life and "Paying it Forward" by doing an act of kindness for someone else can help continue a cycle of positive blessings from person to person and onward.
Have you ever noticed when you are having a really bad day one person can simply smile at you and it feels amazing, doesn't it? It brightens your day even if it is just for that small moment? Now, on the reverse- have you ever been having a bad day and just decided to be kind to another person...saying hello to them with a smile in the elevator, helping a mother move her baby carriage...it feels good too, doesn't it?
When I am feeling a bit sad or frustrated I love going to my local grocery store. No, not to just buy things. The employees there are always so nice. "Hello. How are you?", is what I hear from at least 3 employees every trip. My goal is not to receive kindness from paid employees - I like to go in there to surprise THEM! I stop, look at them, smile and say "I'd like to know how YOU are doing today." That takes them off guard a bit and they usually smile and respond a bit timidly, then we usually chat for a short bit. As I walk away I can feel their energy boost and they continue to smile as they move on in their work. I admit that I do the same because it's such a pleasure to see their glowing & happy faces come to life after their disbelief from my response and interaction. I'm sure they usually get grumpy people in there who are busily trying to get their shopping done, along with a long list of other errands before going home.
Now, just imagine if we all did one small act of kindess every day. Now multiply that by over 7 billion (low ball estimation of the world's population). Don't you think that SAKS would make the world just a little bit better, one small act of kindness at a time? YES! It would!
Try it- just for one day, one week, one month - whatever you have the focus for. Try doing one small thing to make someone else's day a bit better. It will feel great! And you never know...that one small thing may come back to you in one big thank you from the universe. :)
Feel free to post your experiences or ideas of SAKS in the comment form below.
Tomorrow I'll post a list of ideas for SAKS.
Love & Light to you all.

Amazing Near Death Experience
I have no affiliation with this book in any way.
If you are interested in a great read...check out "To Heaven and Back" by Marcy C. Neal. It's really an AMAZING story.

Hello World!
This is my first blog entry -of many, I hope! Please try to stick with me, and I promise you'll eventually learn something and maybe have at least a few good laughs with me along the way.
Years ago I used to go to the bookstore or library (this was prior to the amazing invention of the internet) and pour over any book I could find about angels, spirit guides, meditation, the afterlife...anything and everything to do with the spiritual realm. Then I got sucked into life. Sound familiar to you? You have a passion or at least a sparkle of an interest in something and then life's trials get you off track. After jumping some hurdles... I am back. I hope for good!
With the new year starting and (from what I hear from so many "spiritual peeps") a new era for earth / a new "awakening" / a golden age / a positive change in universal consciousness is upon us now.
**Please forgive my constant use of parentheses quotation marks, exclamation points and general lack of "PROPER" grammar. I type how I think...therefore I type. Ok...bad joke. But please, seriously, forgive me.
So, back to subject.... with this new amazing future before us, I was suddenly drawn to my spiritual side and learning again. It began with YouTube. I started watching a Michael Jackson video, which led to the supposed death hoax, which took me to the illuminati, then on to aliens and UFOs, after that astral projection, then meditation, on to out of body experiences, then near death experiences, then angels and finally life plans and life purposes. Phew! That was a run on sentence! Isn't YouTube kind of like a run on sentence? One word (video) connects to another and another and on and on...
So here I am. I felt a deep need and necessity to communicate what I learn, feel and experience with fellow people / brothers and sisters / kindred spirits / the connected consciousness. I'm not a flowery spiritual person that wears garlands in her hair and walks barefoot in the woods. (not that doing those things are bad or to be made fun of) -I'm clarifying that what I present to you is coming from me honestly, without a rose colored veil over it. I hope that even if it changes one person's life for the positive, this is all worth it.
Thank you for joining me on my journey. Please feel free to share your thoughts, feelings and experiences with me and the fellow readers.
Love & Blessings to you all.
