Tribute to an Angel

We never met here on earth, but something tells me we have known each other. When I’ve been at a loss for words to help Mr. G with all the challenges he faces with his family, it’s like the correct and words of understanding are given for me to speak. When I have found myself at a loss with my own challenges and I’ve been ready to call it quits ~ I truly believe it is you who is there telling me not to give up and guiding me to messages, that I have much more work that still needs doing here on earth.

My spiritual beliefs gained strength with my survival of my own accident and what I experienced while in my coma. I truly believe that I am able to hear and see the messages my existing Angels are sending me, because you have partnered with them to help me do so, and in turn help Mr. G. Your love for him continues on and gives him strength – I’m forever grateful that you were in his life. He is able to deal with and help me with my accident challenges, because you believed in him and your belief, love and support made him the caring and loving man he is.

I’ve learned that you were an amazing person during your time here on earth, the kind of person anyone would be proud to call friend or family. Angel P, I look forward to uniting with you (when I have completed all that I am to complete here on earth and not a day sooner .. ;) and finding out why we encountered these horrific events in our lives, and hope that the lessons they were meant to teach us have been learned. Until that day I will do my best to hold onto my faith, ask for divine guidance when I feel lost and continue to help others.

May 28th, 2007 Angel P was involved in a single car accident. For Mr. G life as he knew it was no more ~ this change came without warning. On May 29th, 2007 Angel P’s earthly body completed its journey here and her spirit released home to the waiting arms of God.

I did not know Mr. G during this time; our paths in life had yet to cross.

Please include Mr. G and Angel P’s family in your prayers today as they remember the wife, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend that no longer walks beside them on earth – but will remain in their hearts and memories forever.

New You ~ Building the foundation

If your reflection in the mirror no longer fits the life you are living or want to live then it’s time for a change. How does one go about creating a “New You”? This perhaps is the million dollar question and certainly if you were to ask 10 people you would receive 10 unique responses. Now, I am not an expert on this subject nor do I claim to have all the answers. I have however, spent the past 4 years (October 28th) after re-learning to eat, speak, walk, and think; trying to figure out who the person staring back at me in the mirror is.


By sharing with you the baby steps I have taken forward and at times the giant steps I take backwards I hope that you realize you are not alone and that with faith, belief, courage, determination, hard work and support be it from Virtual friends here in Blog Land or from friends you seeing daily… you too can start on the path to “New You”!

Spiritual,Mental, Emotional Fitness:

It does not matter what your religious background is, so long as you have your Spiritual self, belief and faith. The power of being able to stay positive is extremely important, as the energy you create around you is what will embrace you (by the people and things that come into your life). Ever stop to think - its the person who is always down, complaining that just doesn't seem to get a break; while the person who faces life's challenges with the glass is half full attitude seems to come out of even the most horific circumstances.

The one thing I strongly suggest before embarking on any life changing is that you seek the services of a psychologist. As often there are underlying issues that until dealt with no matter what you do or try it will only be a temporary band-aide. I know what you are thinking, but trust me I felt the same way in the beginning and went through various "Shrekos" (and even a quack or two) before I found someone that I felt comfortable speaking with.

Support, whether virtual or via a close friend or family member you need someone who will help keep you motivated, and will cheer your accomplishments.

Once, you have the above in place you can get on with the Re-invention:
