I’LL BE MISSING YOU….I know you’re still living your Life after Death!
“I look upon death to be as necessary to the constitution as sleep. We shall rise refreshed in the morning.” ~ Benjamin Franklin
I am back from Regina. Was a long couple of days but I’m glad and feel very accomplished that I have reached as many people as I did. There are not too many consultations that I have with people that greatly affect me. Not to be mean, but there is part of me that I have to disassociate my work from my emotions. Just as a doctor has to disassociate from their clients. However, this past weekend I had encountered a couple of ‘tough’ sessions. It’s very emotionally difficult to bring through certain loved ones who have crossed over that you can just feel the pain in the living. It hurts physically and emotionally. Or those sessions with the living who are what I call ‘lost’, because no matter what you actually say…they may not be at a place to ‘get it’. But I say everything I need to say and spirit needs to say, because some day down the road they may ‘get it’ and the change will begin. I always tend to worry whether this work is what I’m suppose to do, just like everyone else I guess who take a good look at their own stories. The other day I sat down with myself in the dark and asked, “what I can do to help, to change the world, to inspire, to make people happy, to motivate”. The answer I got was: ”There will be those who will agree and there will be those who disagree. There will be those who will try to defeat and persecute. Keep doing what you’re doing, it would be no different if you were to change your life for others.”
So I am left the in the same place that I began. The most important thing is that I am happy. There was a time in my life that I had to my life, yet what I didn’t understand at the time is that life keeps changing.
The following are some of my personal sayings that I’ve learned over time. We all know them, but the hardest part is to actually live by them:
- Don’t make things harder than they have to be.
- Who needs enemies when we see them staring back at us in a mirror…be kind to yourself.
- We are all individually powerful! We can change the ending of our own personal story.
- Stop living in the past! Don’t take offense but I don’t care what has happened to you yesterday or 10 years ago…what’s important is what happens tomorrow. What are you going to do…resist or yield?
- There comes an age with our children that we have to parent differently. They are adults and must make their own choices and decisions, they mostly want support and encouragement. They’ll then come to the correct choice without pressure.
- Stop caring about what society wants or expects…you’re the only one who can take care of you. Trust yourself!
- You can work on trust by trusting yourself first through your actions.
- Listening to your intuition can give you the means to depend on yourself rather than rely completely on others.
My favorite quotes from my personal journal:
“If you are going through hell, keep going”
- Winston Churchill
“You can never cross the ocean until you have the courage to lose sight of the shore”
- Christoper Columbus
“Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall”
- Confucius
“To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that’s all”
- Oscar Wilde
“You don’t get to choose how you are going to die. Or when. You can only decide how you are going to live. Now.”
- Joan Baez
“To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best day and night to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle any human being can fight; and never stop fighting”
- E.E. Cummings
I am trying to understand life after death concept. I have had some kind of gift that came when I was 13 that I can remember. I get an unsettling feeling when someone is going to die. I don’t understand this and I get visitors at times. Reading what you have said makes me know that I am not alone with knowing there is life after death. I also don’t really grieve after someone has past and I feel cold and uncaring but to me it seems I know that they are okay.
Keep doin’ what you’re doin’ Barb. If it wasn’t for your reading, I’d probably still be second guessin’ everything. You’re a very sensitive and kind individual - which is why you feel “stuff” on a very personal level. Wish I had your ability to “help” as you do - but then again, maybe not (wink)Hugs to you.
