An Angel came to visit me today Showing up in her usual way.
First a hush, then a flutter.
I had to catch my breath, Not a word did I mutter.
She told me that you had been reaching out, To find some meaning and remove the doubt.
That you felt you knew your path, but were a little uncertain, As if a vail was in the way, like a wall or curtain.
It was at that time she showed to me, An image so beautiful. So bold. So free.
It was of your Soul. So warm. So bright. That is cast no shadow, into the darkest of night.
As you read this message please understand, There is no vail, or wall, or curtain. You have what you need, with that I am certain. Just close your eyes an let your Love flow free, And see yourself as I have seen you through me.

I was thinking this morning of a message to write. One with meanings that would set it apart from the countless others you receive. One that would give you the inspiration and strength to take on the day. One that would help you understand the complexity of others. One that would make you feel important, when you’re feeling insignificant. One that would leave you with a sense of a higher Love.
Then I was reminded. This message you already have. And always have. It lies within you, albeit a little buried at times. It is an ageless message that transcends time. One that has been placed there by our Great Creator.
This message is not clouded within the written word, Nor is it so complex it requires others to explain it to us, It need not be read, spoken, or immortalized with artwork.
This message will hold you in time and yet is timeless, The strength from this message will provide courage when you feel beaten down, The passion provided from this message will lift your Soul, far beyond any limits you have imagined. The knowledge held within this message, provides a level of perception, that helps you connect with everyone and everything.
This message is more then a feeling or a thought, it is an understanding
This message is Gods Love.
Wishing you a week full of peace, Love and spiritual growth.
As I look up I feel the graceful love of the creator fill my spirit, it burns within me and reaches out to all those around. For a fleeting second I toy with the thought of being unique, only to acknowledge with amazing wonderment that all beings carry the creators love within them, and all spirits have the responsibility to guide, protect, and serve each other. For the greatest love of all it not only the one offered by the creator, but also the love that is CREATED through the peaceful, caring and respectful connection with all others.
Many blessings to you for a weekend full of Love, Light, and Spiritual Growth,
Hi. Thanks for adding me as a friend. I just wanted to let you know that my vampire book came out last week to rave reviews and is now available on Barnesandnoble.com, Amazon.com. Thank you for your time.
Thanks for accepting the request. If you have any short stories, poems, or works of art that tantalize the mind with horror and send the priest screaming to their altars, then send them our way. Deadline for submissions is July 30. Check our homepage and blog for more information.
