Message from Grandpa and Big Jim!
(Grandpa transitioned in August this year.)

When I was a child, going to Grandma and Grandpa's was so very special. There are things that remind me of the experience and bring to me that warm fuzzy love feeling that spreads throughout your body and radiates into true joy - then when you take a deep breath it pulsates out through your pores! 

One such thing that brings this experience to me is somewhat odd. Grandma and Grandpa had cows - cows produce cow manure - have a clue where I'm going here?

I live in the city - no cows. Last week when I got out of the truck at the bank I could smell cows. I thought it was odd, but no, it was definitely cow manure that I thought I was smelling. The next day when Fred and I went outside to get into the truck, again, I could smell cows. I asked Fred, "can you smell cows?" Of course he could not...

As we began driving, I could STILL smell cows - I could smell it SO Strong that there was really no way he couldn't smell it - I just kept saying, I can smell cows. Then I heard laughter. I could hear my grandpa and Big Jim totally cracking up!

So Grandpa is letting me know he is here with the smell of cows - how funny! No roses or aftershave to let me know Grandpa is here - NOooooo I get the odor of cow manure!

Of course I called Grandma and told her. She laughed and laughed - perhaps that was Grandpa's intention - he has told me he wishes her to laugh...

As I mentioned in the last newsletter, life has had its challenges here. I was able to move myself from fear base to love base and sincerely bless the situation with gratitude for the experience and within hours joy swirled through the house.

Along with the release came Big Jim. I was sitting in the living room looking at the Christmas tree when I glanced over and he was sitting in the other chair. I asked him where had he been, life had been in the toilet here!

He told me he had been here - I just wasn't listening - and that all would be fine. I pointed out to him that all my spiritual friends told me he would be fine when he went into the surgery his body didn't survive. He laughed! Then he assured me that joy and laughter would again reside in our home - that gratitude and trust would attract it abundantly. He was right.

Our loved ones are as close as our thoughts, but after we "think" them with us, we must have the "eyes to see, the ears to hear and the openness to knowing" their comforting hand and guidance.

Allow yourself to experience the love, hope and joy of the holiday season - your angels and loved ones are with you to help you be in the NOW of the moment.

Christmas in your heart is the joy of God's love for you - allow yourself the beauty of the experience.

Love always lives.
