Asking the Universe for Assistnace!

Good Morning Everyone,

I am sorry I have been out of touch for such a long time. I get so bogged down in life and work I forget to make space for myself.

I wanted to share a recent experience that still has not fully transpired yet and ask your thoughts on it?

I have always been a belieiver that if you call on the universe, God somehow pushes you towards your life path, no matter how much you steer away from it sometimes.

A year in a half ago I bought a house, and have been doing small projects ever since, and some how some way, the money finds it way to me and I am able to complete the project with out worrying about touching my personal finances.

So my latest adventure, that I put out there was to have the basement finished, and I wanted to plan for it correctly and call on all the right energies to make it happen. So I mentioned to my builder that this was a project I wanted to accomplish and he came back with a plan and said that he would even help finance it, so I moved forward, putting out into the stars what I wanted and how and at what price, and what I got back was not what I wanted, and twice the price, and with strings attached. This being a man I trusted explicitly to do the right thing.

So, after reviewing my options I stepped back because it didn't feel right, time wise or plan wise and asked the universe to tell me when and how and for how much, but it is the first time I was taken down a path that seemed impossible to surmount financially. I don't want to put the negative out there, but I also wanted the chance to get this done so that I could ask my family to come for easter and have the right place for them.

should I bid it out and take it away from him and risk losing the business friendship, or wait and see his reaction to his overpriced bid and contraints and come back with a better price?

I am thinking get a few more bids and then go back to him to see what I can do, or figure out a way to do it myself, excpet for the big stuff.

I still feel the universe is in my corner telling me to wait and bide my time, and it will be perfect.

I would love to hear other peoples events to see if they had things pan out and how and why and how they handled it.

Have a great day everyone, it is COOOOOOOOOOOOLD here in New England today.

Softone!

Safety Begins when you pack!

In light of the new terrorism scares I thought this might be a good Blog for the day.

Safety begins when you pack!

To help avoid becoming a target, do not dress so as to mark yourself as an affluent tourist.  Expensive-looking jewelry, for instance, can draw the wrong attention. Leave it home!

Always try to travel light.  You can move more quickly and will be more likely to have a free hand.  You will also be less tired and less likely to set your luggage down, leaving it unattended.

Carry the minimum number of valuables, and plan places to conceal them.  Your passport, cash and credit cards are most secure when locked in a hotel safe.  When you have to carry them on your person, you may wish to put them in various places rather than all in one wallet or pouch.  Avoid handbags, fanny packs and outside pockets that are easy targets for thieves.  Inside pockets and a sturdy shoulder bag with the strap worn across your chest are somewhat safer.  One of the safest places to carry valuables is in a pouch or money belt worn under your clothing.

If you wear glasses, pack an extra pair.  Bring them and any medicines you need in your carry-on luggage.

To avoid problems when passing through customs, keep medicines in their original, labeled containers.  Bring copies of your prescriptions and the generic names for the drugs.  If a medication is unusual or contains narcotics, carry a letter from your doctor attesting to your need to take the drug.  If you have any doubt about the legality of carrying a certain drug into a country, consult the embassy or consulate of that country before you travel.

Bring one or two major credit cards instead of cash. Your Debit/Bank card usually works world wide. Check with your Bank before you face any surprises. Or your local travel agent!

Pack an extra set of passport photos along with a photocopy of your passport’s information page to make replacement of your passport easier in the event it is lost or stolen. Also leave copies with family at home.

Put your name, address and telephone numbers inside and outside of each piece of luggage.  Use covered luggage tags to avoid casual observation of your identity or nationality.  If possible, lock your luggage.

Consider getting a telephone calling card.  It is a convenient way of keeping in touch.  If you have one, verify that you can use it from your overseas location(s).  Access numbers to U.S.  operators are published in many international newspapers.  Find out your access number before you go. 

Use covered luggage tags to avoid casual observation of your identity or nationality.  If possible, lock your luggage, but that is not allowed when going through security.

Consider getting a telephone calling card.  It is a convenient way of keeping in touch.  If you have one, verify that you can use it from your overseas location(s).  Access numbers to U.S.  operators are published in many international newspapers.  Find out your access number before you go. Make sure yiur cell phone plan covers your travel area and be aware of the rates. Also ask if you can get a sim card for that country if your phone allows that.

Lastly, be certain to take the same safety precautions you would use in your own home town, any where you travel. This way you are not looking like the nervous traveler. I always tell my clients, I don't take any different risks when walking around my own home town in Boston than I do in any other destination in the world.

Start your security at home, and you will be comfortable any where you are in the world.

Happy New Year Everyone!

Feng Shui Weddings

Feng Shui Weddings

By Maryella blundo

Feng shui guidelines that will help you with the harmony and balance of the ceremony as well as with the reception. A small guideline to get you started.

1. Dress Color

As with any wedding you should pay special attention to your wedding dress COLOR.

A color representing the element earth, for example a very light beige or a cream color, would attract good luck and therefore would be ideal for your dress.

2. Wear something RED in detail

You should also wear something RED as it is the color of happiness, you want to attract happiness into all areas of your new live and that one small detail is a great start.

Be certain to be aware of the date you choose.

3. Pay attention to what you choose for a wedding date:

The date should contain the numbers 8 or 9, or its digits should add one of those numbers.

The number 8 is very auspicious for love, and number 9 implies eternity. The most ideal date would be an 18th, since it would contain both numbers, but also a 17th, a 26th, a 27th, an 8th or a 9th would be excellent dates as well.

4. Choose the right place for the reception:

Once you have chosen the place for your wedding reception, you should follow the guidelines that the bagua map would indicate for it.

Consult a Feng Shui Master who can assit you with this or you can read up on it and practice it yourself. But and expert will truely make it perfect for you.

To attempt this alone, you should stand at the place's front door and locate each one of the areas represented in the bagua map to its correspondent area in that space. Then, you should harmonize each one of the bagua map areas according to the elements, colors and objects it should contain. Besides, you should make sure the chi (life energy) can flow freely through all the place, having space between furniture and objects to circulate.

5. Feng Shui Decorating of the hall:

Make sure there are not any dark spots or corners or this would become an obstacle for chi or life energy to flow freely. Therefore, if this happens you should place a plant by it or a light towards it. The tables' shape is very important as well. Avoid square or rectangular tables, since edges and cutting shapes attract conflict and problems. Choose round or oval tables; they would add harmony to the environment and the people in it.

Asking Arch Angels for guidance!

What are Arch Angels?

Angels are spiritual energies that were Created by the Divine to provide you with an atmosphere of Pure Love and focus on the Source.

 

In directing these energies to help provide new dimensions of joy in our lives, there is a tried and true formula which has worked for many folks.

Of all of the Archangels, Archangel Michael is the most well known throughout all religions. He is often depicted as the Leader of the Archangels, holding a mighty sword and killing anything evil that threatens the goodness of human life.

Michael’s name means, “He Who is Like God”. This very name symbolizes Michael’s power and grace in God’s Kingdom.

Archangel Michael is a wonderful Archangel  Because he is so powerful, he has the ability to be in several places at once and assisting many people at the same time.

One of his many gifts is the ability to protect and guide people. His auric colors, the colors surrounding him, look like a deep royal blue. Meditating on this color may help you see him in your mind’s eye.

Many people envision protection as just protecting themselves from a physical danger. Archangel Michael not only can protect you from physical dangers, but he is the best guardian for those of us who are so sensitive. He is happy to help emotionally protect you, when you have awkward relationships or meetings with people who mentally, enknowingly do you harm.

You yourself can ask Archangel Michael to be with you in any situation at any time, for yourself or your loved ones.

Here are some simple steps in connecting with Michael:

1. Breathe

Find a quiet spot if you can and sit, close your eyes and take a few deepbreaths. Connect with that quiet spot within you and feel centered with the earth.

2. Surround

Ask your Higher Power to surround you with a white light. This protectivelight helps keep you centered and makes it easier for you to connect with the Angels.

3. Ask

Ask Archangel Michael to come to you. See if you can see him in your imagination. What does he look like? What colors are surrounding him? Ask him your request, whether it is to protect you during travel or a loved one who is far from home. Ask him for validation that he did in fact hear your question. He can send you a sign in your life, like a feather, or a certain song on the radio.

4. Thank

Thank Michael and your Higher Power for being there for you and hearing your prayers.

5. Receive

Receive the peace that Michael heard your request. Receive the validation from the signs Michael sends you.

Enjoy your connection with this amazing Archangel. You’ll find your life grow in magical ways as you allow the Angels to touch your heart everyday!

The Power of the Four Great Archangels if Michael is not the correct angel for your situation, I have listed the powers of the others below:

Archangel Michael


Leadership, courage, confidence, strength, recognition, power, loyalty, honesty, honor, virtue, integrity, and resistance over evil

Archangel Gabriel

Inspiration, mercy, knowledge, birth, transformation, action, creativity, revealer of divine will

Archangel Raphael

Healer of earth and humanity, companion, love,joy, happiness, optimism, compassion, friendliness, and a guardian to the end

Archangel Uriel
Revealer of secret knowledge, prophecy, psychic abilities, dreams, mystery, and has the power to protect against natural disasters


Beloved Archangel Michael,
angelic guardian of the south,
Who has granted my desire of recognition
(or whatever you may have requested)
Appreciation flows freely from my heart,

Go in peace and farewell for now.

Beloved Archangel Gabriel,
angelic guardian of the west,
Who has granted my desire of inspiration,
(or whatever you may have requested)
Appreciation flows freely from my heart,
Go in peace and farewell for now.

Beloved Archangel Uriel,

angelic guardian of the north, Who has granted my desire to understand mysteries,  (or whatever you may have requested)  Appreciation flows freely from my heart,
Go in peace and farewell for now.

Beloved Archangel Raphael,
angelic guardian of the east, Who has granted my desire of physical healing (or whatever you may have requested)
Appreciation flows freely from my heart, 
Go in peace and farewell for now.

Good Luck Everyone I will let you know if my request is granted. I already feel Michael working on my life for me.

Faith and depending on your instincts !

Over the last few months, I have been tested, with patience, belief that everything happens for the higher good of all concerned. I was approved and am living in my house and for that I have to be truely thankful.

I followed my instincts and even when I have doubts, that the economy is hurting business and I should not have bought the house, I have faith, and call on my arch angels, and friends, and know that I will survive and even if a struggle, my life lessons are telling me I am on the right path.

Follow your guides, follow your instincts and you will achieve unlimited goals.

You have only to try!

The Power of Miracles

Hello Everyone,

 

I am sorry it has been a while since I logged on but I had to share the most wonderful experience with you all tonight.

 

This morning I received a call from a stranger, a woman named Morgan, asking me if I lived in Indiana. I said, "Well, no I don't" and she said do you know a woman named " Donna Mcgee " and I said, "no I don't". Now in my mind I am saying to myself, "self" this just doesn't feel right, but play it out.

 

So I asked Morgan, "what this was all about" and she said to me, "Maryella, I found a black labrador retriever and I took it to the vet and they read the chip on the dog and told me who it belonged to, but the information is out of date and I cannot locate the owners." I have been calling every Donna Mcgee in Indiana to no avail. The phone number doesn't work any longer and I am at my wits end.

 

As a last ditch effort, Morgan had googled the womans name, "Donna Mcgee"  and it linked her with me and it happened to be on a web site called Linked in. Linked in gave her the telephone number of my travel agency and showed Donna and I as friends. But only because Donna had owned a travel agency and were had like interests.

 

My love of animals and good hearted nature would not allow me to let this situation go without at least making and attempt to try and help Morgan find the dogs owners.

 

So I logged on to Linked in, and messaged Donna Mcgee, and a few hours later, I received a second phone call from a stranger, this time from Donna Mcgee.

 

Sure enough it was her dog, a very sad story, Donna has had a down turn of luck because of the economy and had to give up her dog and some wonderful friends offered to take the dog and care for it. The dog had a tendency to like to stray from the yard, and this time the owners could not find it any where. The friends, not wanting to upset Donna any more than she was already, didn't tell her, and couldn't believe that two perfect strangers went through the trouble to try and find the dogs owners and reunite them with the cherished animal.

 

Donna went out of her way to call me back, and wanted to thank me for going out of my way to try and find her, and then spent 10 minutes teling me all about this wonderful dog, and how happy everyone now is tonight, to be reuinted with there glorious pet.

 

Morgan had told Donna that since she had so many pets already, she just couldn't take on the expense and care of another animal, but that if she were to adopt again, this would be the exact dog. It was a wonderful experience for Morgan, and she had grown to love the dog in a short period of time.

 

So the moral of the story is that the dog is home safe and sound, with it's family, and a small effort on the part of two strangers, were able to make the lives of some very saddened people, much happier tonight.

 

I felt so great about doing this, that I took it as a sign that my angesl were telling me that the things in my own life would work out, with a bit of team work, love, care and some effort.

 

I hope you all have as great of and experience as I did today, in your life, and I am so thankful to have been able to help and animal find its home again. That I had to share this wonderful story with everyone.

 

Have a great night!

 

Maryella
