I am Grateful
This inspirational collection of stories is dedicated to the Souls and Spirits of Light that have shaped me into the Being I am today.
To my sons Murray and William, my wonderful gifts from God. Your infectious laughter and whimsical sense of humor brightens any day we spend together. I love you both more that you can possibly imagine.
To my husband John, for his support during troubled times, for sharing my joy through good times.
A word to my grandchildren; Taylor, Nicholas, Ella, Ryan and Jenna; you have my heart and fill my world with happiness.
I am deeply indebted to my daughters-in-law, Mindy and Kendra for showing me what having daughters is like and for making my family complete.
Forever in my thoughts are the memories etched in my heart left by my dearly departed loved ones; those of my grandparents, Mary Ann Bennett and Thomas Oliver Smaldon; my cherished grandson, Kyle William Clunas and my beautiful calico cat Jasmine.
Most importantly, I am eternally grateful to Mother/Father God for their Creation of the Universe and breathing life into my form.
Acknowledgements
In Love and Light
I wish to acknowledge my Guardian Angel Erin, who has been with me from birth and who will be with me till my physical body leaves this earth plane. A little bit about how I discovered the name of my Guardian Angel is told in Chapter One under the title ‘My name is Erin.’
A huge wave of loving light goes out to the Master Jesus for His visitation during my Bio-magnetism therapy. This miraculous moment was documented in Chapter Six under the title “I’ve Got You Covered.”
To all those Unknown Authors whose stories freely circled the internet that I chose to be part of the chapter ‘Earth Angels in the Midst,’ you give true meaning to the words ‘Peace on Earth, good will towards men.’ If you are the writer of one of these inspirational pieces, please contact me and I will make sure you get the credit that is deserved.
It is my pleasure to acknowledge my dear family, friends and clients, the Kindred Spirits who willingly shared their memories of hope and healing which helped mold this collection into something truly inspiring.
And last but not least, to the readers of these words; it is my wish that all your days be filled with much love, happiness and magic.
Namaste - the Light in Me recognizes the Light in You.
A Note from the Author
Once You Believe
We live in miraculous times where the magic of the universe can be found within our very souls. If we open our hearts to let in the Light, we can break free from the earthly illusion that we have become accustomed to and our new enlightened vision will perhaps enable us to see Spirit in all its form.
Synchronicities are communications from ‘Above’ and show up without a moment’s notice. It is our choice whether we view this wonderful phenomenon as a mere coincidence or whether we wish to open our eyes to ‘See’ the signs that are occurring all around us.
I would like to share with you an event that took place in our lives a few years ago during our trip to Mexico. It was one evening during our stay that my spouse and I decided to book a sunset tour. We were standing on a bridge mesmerized in viewing the setting sun making its slow descent into the sky and so enthralled were we over this beautiful panoramic scene that my husband grabbed his camera and took a snapshot so we could capture the memory in the making.
It was shortly after our return home from our vacation and during a moment when we were in the study downloading this film onto a disc, when another anomaly left us awestruck. As the sunset photo was developing, we watched in utter amazement as a ‘Being shrouded in white Light’ mysteriously appeared in the middle of the photograph. This Angelic display of energy caught on camera so moved us that I have used it as the background for the cover of this book for all to see.
Once you believe, the signs are everywhere!
Chapter One
We Are Here – Angelic Encounters
Inspiration from Above
Exodus 23.20 states, ‘And behold I will send an Angel before you to guide you on your way.’
Just who are we to say that they can only appear to us in Spirit form? Could it not be a fact that they may send their guided messages through the interaction of an animal or bird, in the faint voice of intuition or maybe even in the vision of a vivid dream you had the night before?
We have to remember that there are no coincidences. Out of the ‘blue’ we are constantly bombarded with gifts and communication from our Creator and his Angelic helpers. Available to us anytime, all we have to do is to open our hearts and be aware that it will come to us when you least expect it, but always when you need it.
During the course of my life, my assigned Angels have made their presence known to me in a diversity of ways. Sometimes I would receive an inner prompting. Other times I knew they were present when I got goose bumps on my arms. Often I would hear a ringing in my ears as they lowered their vibration to match mine, and on occasion I would feel a euphoric sense of peace and calm as they shrouded me in their cloak of love and protection.right from the moment of your birth to the time you leave your earthly body. It’s comforting to know that they are always with us not only protecting us from harm’s way, but guiding us to help make wise decision. They also have been known to send us messages of comfort and are there to take part in our c
Talk to your Angels on a regular basis like you would a close friend and always be aware of the unique way they will let you know that they are with you. The more you are open up to seeing the signs, the more you will receive them.
Towards the end of the chapter you will read just some of the methods in which the Angels offer their devotion and support. Your own Angels might take a different approach to how they signal you.
It will prove to be a wonderful journey if only you allow it to be so.
My First Encounter
I was excited…
Today was Saturday and my step-grandfather was taking me for a visit to his son’s farm. His male offspring had two children, a boy and a girl and we were all around the same age.
Being seven years old at the time and living in a small town, I really enjoyed the visits to the farm.
There was always so much to do on the little ranch. There were the animals to feed and play with, lots of room to run around freely and best of all we loved to play in the tree house in the woods that lay just beyond a huge cornfield. This amazing fort in the trees was roomy and custom built by the children’s father.
I loved watching the birds fly around the woods as if they were on a mission. Some of the black birds were screeching at the top of their lungs to get attention and the squirrels seemed to be amazingly resilient as they flitted about jumping from one thin branch to another and yet never once did I see them fall out of the trees.
That Saturday started out to be no different from any other one with the exception that it would not end up that way.
Once my grandfather and I arrived at our destination, the children came out to greet me and we started out immediately for our designated happy zone.
Our playtime allowed my grandfather to spend alone time with his son and daughter-in-law.
