Howdy Folks and Good Day!
Have you ever considered it a bit ironic that it’s OK for us to talk to God in
the form of prayer (Oh, God, what am I gonna do?!) or other circumstances (Oh my God, can you believe that?) but if
God talks back we just might be considered crazy?
Truthfully, I think it’s crazy to spend all our time in prayer or going about our lives fluttering from here to there without hearing the messages God has for us. I know from experience (both mine and others’) that following Divine Guidance is sure a lot easier than fighting it!
You know exactly what I’m talking about, too, don’t you?!
Remember that one thing (or more) you kept getting prompted
to do, and you
The biggest concern most of us have is how do we know it’s really THE BIG G talking to us and not just our imagination? How do we know which voices in our head to listen to?
If we hear more than one voice, does it mean we’re crazy? Not at all!
Because “those voices” in our head are either the voices of Ego, aka, doubt and fear -- which do make us feel crazy at worst, completely stressed out at best -- or they are the voices of God, aka, Divine Guidance, which leads us to peace, love, sanity, success, and where we need to be in life.
I literally thank God that there are multiple voices in my head, and in every one of our heads! The important part is learning to distinguish them. If you’ve never taken notice, you might not realize there actually is more than one “voice.” Not only is there more than one, but each “voice” or “thought pattern” has a different feel. And a different agenda!
The voice of Ego wants to keep you stuck in fear; it drives you to seek external power and gratification. It might give you a charge at first (such as when gossiping about someone, complaining, or buying things just for their status) but long-term it’s very draining. It keeps you feeling separate. Ego is all about extremes, either you’re the best or the worst, and often the best at being the worst! If you really tune in, Ego’s energy is often tense, nervous, filled with anxiety and sometimes, just plain yucky.
God or Divine Guidance, on the other hand, wants you to act from a place of love, to do what’s in your best interest, and in the highest good of all those around you. Divine Guidance helps connect you… to your Self, God, and others. It fills you up, lifts you up, and charges you up – long-term. Divine Guidance is about being authentic to your True Self, and helping others to do the same. It feels loving. It feels good. Even if it directs you to do something challenging, there’s a calm and caring energy to it.
For those who may fear “hearing different voices” could mean you’re crazy, rest assured, NOT distinguishing the multiple voices will make you even crazier. Ego will certainly take advantage of the opportunity to drive you here, there, and everywhere fulfilling ITS agenda, not yours. However, when you learn to distinguish the voice of ego from that of Divine Guidance, it’s a lot easier to tell whether it’s your ego making the commands or God. It’s a pretty safe bet God has a better agenda for you than the ego. And you’ll be the one to benefit when you listen.
There’s nothing to fear when it comes to learning and understanding the voice of God. He DOES answer our prayers. He DOES lead us, guide us, help us and heal us. But we have to start listening--and HEARING Him. We have to recognize what God actually sounds like to us… to distinguish which of those thoughts we’re hearing are just insignificant ramblings, the shouts of the ego, or the whispers of God. We need to trust God’s voice and obey it; not because God’s going to punish us if we don’t, but because obeying it will be the answer to our prayers.
Shhh… Listen… God is talking to us.
He really is.
With Peace, Love, Happiness, Health, and Prosperity…
Rev. Jeanette

Say What
You Need to Say
For me it is very important to learn how to communicate with others. To connect with each other…I mean that is what we all want right?
We communicate verbally and nonverbally all of the time. But in my opinion much of the time our communications are not very authentic. At least that is what I recognize within my own life.
And here is what I am learning about communication… there is talking and there is listening. Or is that listening and then talking? Ha, ha, ha! I am learning the ropes!
And here is what else I am learning… you can communicate as authentically as you are able in a moment, and another can communicate as authentically as they are able in a moment, and the two sides aren’t necessarily going to be on the same page.
And that is ok.
It sucks some times. It is frustrating and confusing some times. And it hurts some times.
But it is ok… if you really want to learn how to communicate with others.
Here’s the thing about communicating…it is not about getting everyone on the same side.
And it is not about feeling bad or making others feels bad because what you think and feel doesn’t match up with what they think or feel.
It’s about saying what you need to say…and allowing others to say what they need to say.
And the best way to hear and say, and say and hear, is after you have gotten honest with yourself.
Perhaps start with talking about it with a friend or writing about it in a journal or having an imaginary “conversation” with this person when you are all by yourself speaking out loud to an empty chair in front of you.
Anything that allows you to work out the kinks (the fear, the anger, the sadness, etc.) beforehand so you can get to the heart of the matter and be able to speak and listen with/to others authentically.
Your authentic voice doesn’t want to harm anyone, or convince anyone, or better up anyone or bully anyone.
Your authentic voice just wants to say what you need to say. And if you are really coming from an authentic place, you will want to allow others to say what they need to say, too.
You cannot control people. You cannot make them be, think, act or feel in a way that you think they need to in order to make you feel better.
YOU make you feel better.
End of story.
And one thing that will make you feel better is when you say what you need to say. (AFTER you have done whatever you need to do to get to that authentic place within you.)
I’ve got a great song on my MySpace page that conveys this message beautifully. It is called Say What You Need to Say by John Mayer.
I hope you check it out.
Should the opportunity present itself, I hope that you say what you need to say.
And then you listen.
Or listen and then say.
And then you let go.
Until next time,

A NOTE from Jeanette: A lot of folks have asked me if I’m offering an on-line course on how to connect with your angels. The official answer is “Not Yet.” I do teach in person and am willing to organize personalized workshops according to need, but I simply haven’t the time or technology to put together an on-line course on how to connect with your angels yet.
HOWEVER, I just found out Dr. Doreen Virtue, from whom I received my professional training and Angel Therapy Practitioner® certification, is offering a new on-line course.
This is very exciting because Doreen’s classes and seminars sell out in a hurry and I can tell you from experience, they are quite costly – not including the price of travel and accommodations to get to where she’s teaching. Many of you have confided that you’d really enjoy learning from Doreen but simply couldn’t afford the time off or the tuition. This is exactly why I’m sharing information about Doreen Virtue’s on-line angel course with you today.
I absolutely will not make any commissions from it. And for the record, I have not taken the on-line course myself. But I have been certified as an Angel Therapy Practitioner® by Dr. Doreen Virtue and that process really propelled my life forward.
Right now ConsciousOne and Doreen Virtue are offering a complimentary 30 day trial plus the cost of shipping and handling for the materials. If you decide to keep going, the course and all its materials (there’s a lot of cool stuff!) will run around $239.00, considerably less than her workshops and certification programs. If not, you get to return everything.
Here’s their official announcement:
* * * Doreen Virtue's Angel Course is Now On-Line * * *
Doreen Virtue has traveled the globe teaching about angels,
but these days her courses are only offered in the
"Healing with the Angels" is Doreen's first on-line course, which she personally helped to create. The course is interactive with an on-line private journal that will help you to personalize the course material and really integrate it on a deep level.
You'll learn the basic foundations of who your guardian angels and the archangels are, and the four ways they communicate with you all day long. You'll understand why your intuition often guides you to make positive life changes, even if you don't feel ready to make them. And you'll increase your confidence and ability to trust in yourself, your guardian angels, and your intuition.
This self-paced study course allows you to go at your own pace. So when you have more time, you can study more and during your busy times, the course will sit patiently until you're ready to return.
You'll learn how to channel the miraculous healing powers of the angels into your own life, for the benefit of your loved ones, your clients, and yourself. You'll understand that the angels truly want you to have peace-of-mind, and are walking with you every step of the way through your life.
This course is designed to boost your healthy levels of happiness, peacefulness, and self-esteem. As you interact with your angels by following Doreen's exercises and steps, you'll feel your guardian angels' unconditional love. You'll also know that you deserve the love and assistance of these angels, as does everyone.
What's more, you get to try the program free for 30 days. Outside of a small charge to your credit card today to cover the shipping and handling, you pay absolutely nothing until you've received your materials and you've had one month to apply Doreen's foundations to your life.
If you decide for any reason this isn't for you, no problem. Just gather everything up and send it back.

Wednesday WORD — by Diane, The
SERIOUS
I am ever so surprised at how the universe sends me lessons, when I am open and willing to notice.
Last week we were having an in-person client file review and the client was in our office for three days. My co-workers and I have done this drill many times and were well prepared for this meeting.
As we hit the last day of the meeting, I got a call from one of our client’s facilities. There was a catastrophic accident and they wanted me to handle this extremely serious claim. I was complimented by being sought out and insisted upon to take care of this as it continues to be a very critical situation.
The Claimant suffered a severe blow to his head and was rushed to a Level One trauma center. The situation remained touch and go for the majority of the weekend.
However, over the weekend, Mr. Claimant has taken a turn for the better. He started to respond to painful stimulation, could move his head and nod to simple questions. He even tried to get out of bed when his family was there. Despite extensive injuries and being semi comatose, every day he keeps making small improvements.
This was the first time in the 14 years of doing workers’ compensation claims the client asked me to meet personally with the family of the Claimant and have my Field Case Manager, RN, there also.
Meeting with Mr. Claimant's family made this more personal and real to me. I kept holding Mr. Claimant in my higher thoughts and found myself sending him positive energy. I wondered all weekend how he was doing. Each time he crossed my mind I focused on positive thoughts about his recovery.
The primary lesson for me is that the human spirit is dynamic.
Some people have a spirit within that is truly a fighter and wants to live life to the fullest each and every day. Mr. Claimant’s family told me he is going to be a miracle! They believe he will make it. So far he is proving this to be correct. Many would have expired by now, if not from the initial injuries, from the pneumonia that would have set in.
I keep asking: Why do some people overcome serious situations like this, yet others don't? What is it about some people that gives them a spirit which doesn't get down and refuses to be defeated?
I have another claimant from the same client who had a similar type head injury a year ago. She has made a fantastic recovery and is considered at Maximum Medical Improvement. When I talk to her I tell her she is my hero, that she is an example of hope and of a great spirit. She replies that she knew her life changed in a blink of an eye -- but she wasn't going to allow that to take her; she had too much to live for and had no choice but to make the most of her life.
The other lesson in this for me is that life really is too short not to live each day as if it was your last. As some day it will be. I am reminded not to take anything in my life for granted, that each and every day is a gift. It is up to me what I do with it.
What lessons are placed before you? What things are placed in your path to remind you of life being too short not to make the most of it? Are you awake enough to notice?
