an angelic intervention? (yes)

“So was my Bassett hound an angel in disguise? Was it an emissary? Was it a useful tool of guides and angels? Given the before and after, I’m pretty convinced. I would very likely have been seriously injured or dead (dead is fine, maimed not so much) and would no doubt have done damage to others.”

we fall, we get up, we fall ~ that *is* life

My guides, my angels, and a world class spiritual teacher assured me all would be well. And then I fell flat on my face … Life is going to happen, regardless of what we do. I can chant and mantra and vision-board my hopes and dreams and expectations, and it’s great. Those efforts do make me more comfortable in this moment.

My prayer right now for every one of us is that we can fully remember peace. Not faux peace, or a pretense, but rather the eternal peace that always lives within, no matter what storms life brings.
