Happy Father’s Day

Posted on by
This coming Sunday is FATHER’S DAY! It is a day we celebrate our earth fathers, grandfathers, and all the men and women in the role of “father.”
We look to fathers for guidance, strength, love, encouragement, ideas and balance. It is a time to honor our dads. For without them, we would not be here. Last month we honored our mothers and all the women and men who are in that role. Mothers and Fathers give a child direction, values to live by, and balance in life.
On this day, and every day, we acknowledge our Heavenly Father-Mother God. The Divine Masculine and the Divine Feminine together, bring all the aspects of God in balance. We know that we are all emanations of God and we acknowledge our human fathers are emanations of God as well. Many of us are/were blessed to have a father/dad who treated us kindly, taught us well, encouraged us to follow our dreams and always said we have a place at home when we need comfort, support and understanding.
I was fortunate to remember my adoptive dad teaching me how to swim,
to ice skate, to drive a car. He encouraged me to play piano and clarinet
and my childhood dream to be a teacher. He helped me with my high school English papers so all my grammar was correct. He was an example of kindness and compassion. I have many great memories from the road trips I took with my father and mother. He has passed and I will still honor him on his day.
For those who had a difficult relationship with your fathers, here is a lovely quote from Carol Clemans,
“If your natural father was absent in your life physically or emotionally,
you need to know that God who is your Heavenly Father wants to bring healing to the brokenness of your heart.”
I never knew my birth dad. However I am grateful to him, for I would not be here today. I know there is a Divine Plan in my life and everyone’s life.
I believe it was my soul’s choice to come in and experience being adopted.
We know with ‘God All Things Are Possible.’ With God, as our Divine Father, our hearts are healed, our burdens lightened and our pain lifted. We know those who are hurting inside, often lash out to those they love. We know too,
at this time we have the consciousness to realize that truth and to forgive.
Today, we can be grateful and know God’s DNA is in us. We know we are God’s perfect child, totally loved and cared for.
On Father’s Day let us honor our fathers (who are here, and who have made their transitions) with blessings, gratitude, memories, forgiveness and love.
It is a day to celebrate our eternal Oneness with God, both Father and Mother, and ALL there is.

NEW BOOK JUST CAME OUT!!!!!!

I am very excited to announce that my new book, “A Rainbow for the World” has just been released by Watersides Productions through Amazon.com.  20 Spiritual Leaders from 20 different faiths contributed to the wealth of this book and it is a manuscript which invites the reader to experience the beauty and the truths of those 20 different faiths.  The book is endorsed by Azim Khamisa, U.N. Ambassador Mussie Hailu, Rabbi Alan Bachman and Dr. Barbara Fields.

Just as a Rainbow is not complete without the FULL SPECTRUM of colors, we are not complete without the FULL SPECTRUM of the many faiths, races, skin tones, cultures, creeds, etc.  The book also provides the reader with a “World Rainbow Meditation” which they can listen to on YouTube at the same time they are reading the words in the book.  The link for this book in paperback form is https://www.amazon.com/dp/1951805801 and the link for the E-book is https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08WNJRGN9 .

FORGIVE

Posted on by

 

 

Dear Friends,
We are now in the December Season of
Love, Forgiveness, Giving and Compassion.
All these ideas were taught by Jesus the Christ, the Master Teacher and Spiritual Leader. We celebrate his birth at Christmas time. We also celebrate the birth of the Christ Consciousness in us as well. We are the Christ in potential. He said, “What I do,
you can do also.”
This past week I have been focusing on the idea of FORGIVENESS, for without forgiveness there is no love. Without forgiveness it is difficult to even acknowledge the Divine Presence in another person. If Jesus the Christ can forgive, I can forgive as well.
On my meditation altar I have added a “Forgiveness” candle. I plan to light it everyday until I have a change of heart within me for a person who seems to say unkind things about Steve and me. I know when I have a change of heart and consciousness life with change. Terry Cole Whitaker said, “What others think of me, is none of my business.” I am not a victim. I am a partner in this journey. How I react to harsh words is what is so important.
If unkind words are spoken, my response is to send love, in my heart , mind and/or verbally. LOVE does conquer all. Darkness cannot stay when a LIGHT is turned on.
To forgive is always a choice. I choose to see the person as a Divine Being of God, having a human experience. Life on our human journey can be challenging so I acknowledge this for me and for her.
Today I will stay in the Consciousness of Love, Forgiveness, Giving and Compassion for all.
What Consciousness of Christ will you activate today?
Who will you forgive, love, give and show compassion?
Lovingly,
Abigail

 

Time to Unplug

Posted on by

 

Dear Friends,

I love this sweet dog in the quote above. It reminds me of how I feel when I take time
to be at peace and relax. Every year I take personal retreat days to just get away, spend time with nature, walk trails, read, write, color (yes I color in adult coloring books) and listen to lovely music. I will be doing that this week and Steve will be home in his own “home retreat.” I do take my cell phone and check in daily, but no laptop and no work. This is time for myself to rest and rejuvenate. The appearance of the world is troubled. The vibrations seem edgy and I can feel it when I am not mindful.
I would suggest, even if you cannot take a few days off, for one day UNPLUG, Rest, Rejuvenate, however that looks for you. If watching the news is upsetting, DON’T for that day. Find a tree with a bench and just sit and be, or read an uplifting book.
What makes you happy? What makes you feel good? Incorporate those things during your R&R day. You don’t even need to answer the phone!
I have a minister friend who UNPLUGS once a week. No work, no talking, no phone, no computer.
Our bodies and energy systems are meant to be in balance. When we are out of balance, stress appears which can cause dis-ease. So Stay in-EASE and find the time just for you.
Being in Ease,
Abigail

 

Prayer Works!

Posted on by

Setting Conscious Intentions.
Every morning we need to wake up with a conscious intention in mind. I know when I sit for my morning prayers and meditations, the whole day seems to flow. My intentions and affirmative prayers manifest in directions that are sometimes surprising.
The Mind loves an intentional thought that is clear and specific with the feelings that it is already accomplished. Not having a clear intention is like swimming in
muddy water.

Last Friday the temperature in Poway ramped up to 105 degrees. IT WAS HOT! We expected our daughter and her little dog to come over since they did not have air conditioning. Whew, at first it felt good to have cool air circulating through the house. Then all of a sudden we noticed the air blowing had lost it coolness. Our AC was out. We called our insurance and left a message. No calls back.
Saturday came. I called again and this time I got the name of the AC Contractor they used. Called twice. No calls back. Called the insurance again later on Saturday afternoon and also on Sunday. By this time we were frustrated. Two of our neighbors came over to see if they could figure out what was going on. No luck.
Monday morning I sat in my meditation chair and felt at peace. I wrote out a prayer treatment with one of the sentences saying, “Thank you God for sending the right and true AC man out today. Our house is now cool and refreshing…”
I visualized a man walking through the house and troubleshooting areas that could be at fault. When I was done I got back on the phone with the insurance and left another message. I also looked up other AC contractors, made an appointment with one for Wednesday. AUK! For some reason (intuitive sight?) I saw another AC contractor’s company with a good review from YELP and called him. He said he could stop by either later today, Monday, or on Tuesday. We waited. Finally at 5pm Nathan called and said he would be over in 10 minutes. He was. Here was my image of a man checking the AC both inside and outside our house, and fixing the problem in about 15 minutes.
Thank you God!!! In a short time, our house was refreshingly cool.

Linda M. Potter, RsP who wrote the SoM July Daily Guides says.
“When we pray for clarity, we’re asking God for the ability to sort through the mental and emotional fog; to see the spiritual truth in the situation; and to determine what we really want, what we actually need and what best serves everyone involved.
It is our emotional commitment to a thought that welcomes it into our lives and begins the manifestation process.”
I was emotionally committed to having our AC fixed. I let go of my original idea of who it should be, and allowed God to come in and connect me with the right and true person. I am forever grateful for prayer treatment, knowing it always works!

Grateful for Prayer,
Abigail

 

Meaning of Life

Posted on by

Dear Friends,
The other day, Steve and I were talking about the MEANING of LIFE. It is a big topic and I believe the meaning of life is different for everyone due to their personal life experiences.
I would like to share my thoughts about the Meaning of Life in an acronym.
L – LOVE unconditionally. To live is to love without strings attached or expectation of
something in return.
LIVE your life to the fullest with purpose and passion.
I – INSPIRE others to BE their Highest, Greatest and Best Selves. Lift up, not put down.
Follow your INTUITION (God’s Guidance).
F – FORGIVE yourself and forgive others. Forgiving is a Gift you give yourself and others.
E – EMBRACE and actively BE with ALL people regardless of race, color, creed, ethnicity,
gender preference and religion. A beautiful flower garden is beautiful because no
two flowers are alike.
I love the words of Karen Drucker’s Song “You Are the Face of God”

You are the face of God
I hold you in my heart,
You are a part of me
You are the face of God…

You are the face of love
I hold you in my heart
You are my family
You are the face of God

Everyone you look at is the Face of God and we are ONE Family.
Lovingly, Your Sister,
Abigail

 

Spring Cleaning

Posted on by

Dear Friends,
It is Spring! I love this season. Even in California, we have our “winter,” maybe not as severe as the mid-west or east coast, however we still have a change in weather.
I love to see the tulips, the lilies the lilacs, the jacaranda trees and all the new growth blooming. Even the air smells good. Spring is the time of the year where we can start anew, and bloom again.
Where is it you would like to start anew? I am sure there are times in your lives when you “wished” you had said something, done something or been someone better.
Now is the time! You do not have to BE the old you. You can BE the NEW you.
It is like cleaning out closets in the Spring only it is cleaning out Consciousness. It is letting go of what no longer serves you. An old Consciousness based on fear, unworthiness, and sadness only holds you back. Being unforgiving blocks your good as well.
Ernest Holmes said,
“Change the consciousness and the false condition will disappear.”
What ever it is, it is time to Spring Clean Consciousness, and change those old tapes, thoughts and feelings. Allow the fresh air to blow in and breathe in the flow of love, wholeness, goodness, growth and God’s blessings
Lovingly Blooming,
Abigail

April is Multicultural Communications Month

Posted on by

April 3, 2018
Dear Friends,
I love that April is Multicultural Month! Let us celebrate all the beautiful and diverse people living on our earth with us. Being so involved with the Interfaith Movement, Steve and I meet many people of different faiths, cultures, races, ethnicities all the time. We realize everyone is a fellow traveler, in this thing we call life, doing the best they can, just like we are.
Are you in a faith center that embraces diversity? Sometimes centers are so focused on their own faith tradition, there isn’t room to include those not of their faith.
During this month, I challenge you to step forward and offer to create an “Interfaith Outreach” committee to plan various activities to get to know your neighbors.
Some suggestions are:
Bring in speakers to share about their faith traditions.
Plan an interfaith potluck to get to know another faith community near you.
Work together on a social issue or charity project.
Show movies such as “The Sultan and the Saint” to promote understanding.
When we work, eat and play together we make a stranger, a friend.
Remember, everyone is a child of God. Everyone is an emanation of the most High God. We all have God DNA in us. We are all Spiritual Beings having a human experience. We are connected at the Source, our Creator. We are one family.
Get to know your multicultural and interfaith brothers and sisters. See the Face of God in each one. You will be blessed.
Loving the Oneness,
Abigail

 

 

We Are Always Connected

Posted on by
Dear Friends,
 
In our New Thought teaching we believe, “There is only One Mind, and that is the Mind of God and that Mind is my mind now.”
We all think into this ONE MIND which means we are always connected.  Our thoughts are our ‘focus connections’ with what we are doing, and who we are speaking to.  The beauty is, we are connected with those who live far away, and that is why Prayer Treatment works!  When we realize our wholeness, we realize wholeness for everyone, and those we are treating for.  My mentor, Dr. Juanella Evans always said, “God can never be harmed, marred, scarred, nor injured.” We are God in this form so in the reality of our spiritual being, neither can we.
Taking it one step further, we have the ability to connect with those who have crossed to the other side.  People tell me all the time their mother, father or sibling came to them in a dream or gave them a ‘sign’.  While walking the labyrinth, Steve’s brother came to me with the message, “We never really leave.” For me that means we are always together, always connected and have the ability to stay in contact whether in the physical or not.  My mother came to me in a dream which  opened my heart even further and I gained tremendous insight into why she was so unhappy in this life time.
I could feel tremendous love for her.
If you miss a loved one, take a moment to be still, bring up a visual or memory of this person and ask him or her to share a message. The message may come at that moment, or in a dream, a sign on a billboard, or a phone call from a friend.
Nevertheless, there is only ONE MIND, whether you are on this side of the veil or the other side. We are always in the inclusive love, and  realm of God.
Be at peace and know, you are never alone and always connected.
Listening with Heart,
Abigail
