Lessons from a Child: Table grace

So often throughout the day, I find myself in awe of our son.  At age four, he is an entrancing mixture of creativity and sweetness. And tonight is no exception. In our home, we say table grace at meals. We randomly take turns offering the prayer with no set rotation. And tonight, my son wanted to say it. He offered this beautiful prayer at dinner: "Now I know my soul. When I wake up in the morning, I can't wait to be alive. God bless this food, God bless this family. Amen." After grace, he ate a few bites and said, "I don't know if I will remember the prayer that I just said.  But I hope that I do remember."  Then, he smiled what I call his 'little angel smile' and the joy I had felt during his prayer continued to expand to every part of my being. Often, he is the one who helps us to remember to say grace at meals. I think he enjoys those brief moments of bonding with our family, friends, and the Divine. Along with giving thank

Water water everywhere

A couple of weeks ago when the effects of Hurricane Sandy were sweeping through the East, we experienced some high winds and rain (very mild compared to other areas).  And it was enough rain to create the most flooding I have ever seen at Lily Dale. During a walk, we were able to see the extent of the flooding.  It was a case of "water water everywhere".  Cassadaga Lake was still high from the summer rains, so with the additional rain the "cup" was brimming over. Lily Dale's beach was under water.  The swans walking on the swimming pier looked like they were walking on water.  The pavilion on the water (commonly referred to as the boat house) was under water too.  It's flooring had become a glassy mirror.  Various boat docks were also hidden under the water.  And a section of floating dock was stuck under the bridge.  Outside of Lily Dale... Schools closed for the day.  In the upper Cassadaga Lake, a boat was floating free and the decking of some docks

Help from those in Spirit

Is there anyone in your life who is now dead who attracted you because of their goodness and kindness?  Or who supported you and took a special interest in you and others?   Maybe this person was your aunt, uncle, parent, grandparent, teacher, or friend.  And perhaps you were inspired by their example and wish to also embody similar qualities. Do you ever ask that person for help now that he or she has passed? Do you wish to emulate their warmth, kindness, generosity, and talents? Do you sometimes feel their loving support and presence around you? The loving bonds we establish here on the earth plane carry onto the next space of consciousness because LOVE NEVER DIES.  And we can continue to connect with our loved ones in Spirit because communication between all planes of existence is a reality.  For more info, see Where are they? post.   My clients frequently share stories of their own communication with their friends and family in Spirit.  They feel comforted by the exper
