“Halloween serves to remind us that our shadow side of consciousness is always seeking to be embraced, released and healed. When we laugh at the “scary” images of this holiday, we vent some of our fears about the illusory nature of life, and release our inner tensions.”
~Greg Barrette
Affirmation:
I am set free from fear and all is well.
Meditation:
Dear God, There is no place where You are not fully and actively present; therefore I embrace every experience of life as a potential experience of You. I am healed from within of all fears, which are always based on illusion, and fully express myself as the confident, divine being You created me to be. This holiday gives rise to the occasion of my laughing at any inner ghosts and goblins, thus exposing them to be the figments of my imagination that they truly are. From within my own beingness, I am set free from all fear! Thank You God!

Aloha Rose,

Its very interesting that you say dairy products. He did have an issue when he was a baby and I tried to mix the soy with regular dairy to get his body used to those products. However, lately, in the past couple months he will tell me that when he drinks milk that his stomach hurts. I switched it to lactose free organic milk and he has not had a problem. I don't know how severe it may be, like eliminating cheese (which he really could care less about) or yogurt. His one doctor suggested a blood test to determine the allergies.

Thanks for the good encouragement about the court case. I heard from a friend last night that works at the court house. He said we were the talk of the day, because he says to me " Judge Hicks gave the look to Sam." I said how did you know about the look, he said everyone knows when he does that, and its a good thing for me. My lawyer even commented on that look as well. Funny.

I am glad to hear your fires are under control. Its very saddening whats happening in California. Apparently a minor child admitted to starting one of the fires with matches. Not good at all.

In 10-14 days the Judge will call us back in to give his ruling. I will let you know what happens.

I hope your arm is mending well.

Take care!

Jennifer

Happy Halloween!

Boo Boardies!

Aloha Rose,

YOu asked me to send you my sons birth date and initials to see what allergies he has. BLZ 8-8-03.

Had my court hearing yesterday. My my my. What a mess it was. My lawyer proved that Sam lied about depositing the monies from the Aruba Timeshare we own that he says his sister and her husband bought from us. Her eyes were wide open when she heard that he actually received the monies he said was missing. He accused me of taking over 8k, and I didn't take that money. He also had family members come up and testify that I thought he was innocent when he was arrested for rape and convicted of sexual assault. Hes trying to claim the civil suit from the victim is a marital asset. He said , this one is hilarious, that I abused him throughout the marriage and I abused his 17yr old daughter. He even brought in his daughters friend who used to babysit for me, and she testified that she came to our house every night till about 10pm (even during the week when school was in session) and said that I was always drunk and went into rages of hysteria. I am so shocked. I know she is lying. I don't know her middle initial but let me know what your think of her. TV 9-13-90. She just turned 17. Her first name starts with a T and her last name starts with a V. I bet Sam has a romantic interest in her.

Anyway, Sam tried to tell the judge that I was Bipolar. And that I went into rages of severe mental illness and I abused alcohol and that I abused him and his daughter. When my attorney asked what medications I took for my mental illness he couldn't answer and she asked well who was her doctor was he couldn't answer. I have never taken those meds for a mental illness. I feel terrible for those who really suffer from it, it must just be awful.

Anyway, it was just terrible.

I hear there are wild fires in Hawaii now. Whats going on with all these fires?

Self-Inventory

"Our good nature and endearing qualities will not arouse the answers to our prayers. Rather, it is our mischievous, dishonest attributes that provide the master keys to heaven. When we identify and work to transform our self-centered qualities and crooked characteristics, the key turns and the gates unlock. Blessings and good fortune are now free to rain down upon us."~Yehuda Berg
Affirmation:I am not afraid to look at my self honestly.
Meditation: Dear God, Thank You for the courage to take an honest look at myself. I know that the journey to wholeness is one of rigorous self-honesty. If I uncover attitudes or patterns of behavior that do not serve me, I ask for a miracle and allow You to transform any apparent weakness. I am gentle with myself because I realize that I am a pilgrim on this journey home. Rather then getting caught up in punishing myself,I surrender any defects to You. I place all that I am, strengths and weaknesses, into Your loving hands. May my life radiate with Your light. And so it is.

Childhood Love

Hi Rose,

Just want to know if SCW 11-22-67 is the one that I will be able to build a wonderful relationship with? Am I the only woman he's involved with at this time? I know he loves me and God know I love him always and forever but distance is a factor for us both along with time. I'm willing to work this out as hard and long as needed because I truly want us to work out. I wasn't expecting him to come back into my life but he has and the feelings are strong. He's going through alot but I'm doing my best to be there for him as best I can.

Be blessed! Love you more!!!!

Stop Whining!

“Forgiveness—of yourself and others--is only possible when you realize that you are a work in progress—but then again, so is everybody else. So stop complaining and start making a contribution to yourself and those around you.”
~Greg Barrette
Forgive, so that you will be forgiven.”~Jesus

Dear God,
Grant me the awareness that can discern between what I need to do and say to handle my responsibilities in this life, and useless, unnecessary complaining. Lift up my spirit and raise my vision to the place where I can understand when I am acting in the best interest of my soul, and when I may be otherwise wallowing in a self-indulgent grumble. Give me the eyes to see how I can make a contribution to Your work in this world. I want to make it a better place.

you are the light

Affirmation:

I am a light of God, shining in this world.

Meditation:

Dear God, You have created me as a unique light in this world. It is my honor and privilege to let that light shine brightly in all that I do. Even if there is no outer acknowledgement of my spiritual activity, I give all of my best efforts to the task before me. You have made me a light to give that light to my world, and I am grateful.

Thank You, God!

New Begginings

Thanks Rose.

Any word on your tape for the show on TNT, I believe? Maybe I can go online and see it.

By the way, My youngest son and his croup issues seem to be issue due to allergies in his sinuses. Apparently when he gets a cold the drainage drips down his throat causing viral inflammation in his airway. However, His wheezing is due to sports induced asthma. Which is controllable. I just want to help him. I am not quiet satisfied with the asthma portion of their diagnoses. Something just doesn't sit well with me. Its like I do not think he has this. He's healthy. I do think he has allergies, and milk seems to bother him a little. I switched to lactose free milk. The organic brand I buy makes this. Maybe you can let me know your thoughts on this.

About court. I feel almost confident about the outcome of the hearing. For the past two days I have woken up pretty early just thinking about divorce, but for the most part I have slept well this past month. I don't want to be overly confident.

My oldest son, Matthew, won another Tae Kwon Do tournament a couple weeks ago. He is so handsome. He is really turning into a nice young man.

November 3rd I go to my visitor training class at the hospital for Ostomy patients. I am so excited. I am thrilled to help people like me feel good about themselves. My youngest son will be with his father for another week of vacation. But his weeks add up to 11 days not 7. He stacks them on top of his weekend. Not very nice. But I have to deal with that for right now.

Take care... I hope you mend very soon.

Meditation: Dear Heavenly Father Mother God,
I take time today to see, to reflect, and to give thanks for the beauty in all things You have created for us to enjoy. I pray for Your assistance in helping me to recognize that today is a new day.

May my actions reflect a loving spirit toward all of Your creations. I am so blessed. I am so grateful. Thank You God.

Job

Aloha Rose,
So I am at a crossroads with my day-job. I have been asked to move to the Ala Moana store. I love where I am at, Windward store. I love the people there and the environment. The new location is busier and an opportunity to work directly with the district manager. So career-wise, it is a great opportunity. I don't think working there will impact my jewelry business much as long as I stay organized.

If I decide to stay at my current location, will my job remain secure? I sort of feel like my back is against the wall here. And need to make a decision by Monday morning. Aaaargh.

Thank you, Rose!

Living Channels of Love

There are two big forces at work, external and internal. We have very little control over external forces such as tornadoes, earthquakes, floods, disasters, illness and pain. What really matters is the internal force. How do I respond to those disasters? " ~Leo Buscaglia

Affirmation: I am centered in faith and Love lifts me above every storm.

Dear God, In the midst of every seeming disaster we turn to You. We remember that You are our constant and unfailing source of strength. We take a moment now and center ourselves in Truth. We turn our attention away from the headlines and focus on Your powerful and peaceful presence. Divine Order is established in our thoughts and in our world. Your guidance leads us in taking the proper action at the perfect time. We open our hearts in love to all that are hurting. Perhaps we can offer shelter to the displaced and weary; or a cool drink to those who thirst. We may be guided to assist or support the emergency workers or maybe our work is to contribute financially to relief efforts.No matter what else we might feel led to do, we all hold the high watch in prayer. We know that You are active in this experience; Divine ideas and wisdom flow easily and effortlessly. We open ourselves to be living channels for Your love. Fires, floods and storms may destroy homes but they cannot destroy our peace.Thank You, God.

Healing energy to you and your family

Aloha Rose,

Blessings of healing energy for a fast recovery. It's nice to hear that you were able to take some time out of your hectic schedule and enjoy a short vacation with your daughter and grandchildren. Hopefully, the meditation break will assist you in your studies.

I also just returned back from a wonderful trip to Europe. While on the trip, I kept wondering if I have a "guardian angel" looking after me. Do you see any protective being and any name for them? I'd love to be able to send them Reiki.

Much LLL,

ANGEL PRAYER

ANGEL PRAYER
Rose, this is a prayer for you and your family and for others to share. I found it in a Guideposts Oct. 2007 article, the author attributed the prayer to her Rabbi:

MAY THE ANGEL MICHAEL BE AT YOUR RIGHT,AND THE ANGEL GABRIEL BE AT YOUR LEFT.AND IN FRONT OF YOU THE ANGEL URIEL,AND BEHIND YOU THE ANGEL RAPHAEL,
AND ABOVE YOU THE DIVINE PRESENCE OF GOD.

My Mother is currently in hospice at home. I read this prayer to her every few hours and animate it by touching her left shoulder, and right shoulder, forehead and back of head and above as I read each verse. She has dementia, and this prayer truly reaches her and comforts her as well as me.

Blessings to you Rose.

Spiritual Service

“Our neighbor is anyone who needs assistance, whether friend or stranger. We cannot expect to correct all the ills of the world but we can help the people with whom we come in contact. This is our spiritual service.”
~Elizabeth Sand Turner

Affirmation: I am in alignment with my spiritual responsibilities.

Meditation:
Dear God,
This life has been created for me to experience joy and love. It is also filled with responsibility to those around me. I embrace the service to humanity that is mine to do. I am grateful for all the opportunities to help others. Thank You, God, for filling me with the energy, light and love that is mine to share with others.

Rose,

About a year ago, you told me that I would meet my soulmate around Thanksgiving, through work somehow, and we would take things slow because of what we had both been through in the past. Um...this all happened...a day after Thanksgiving (it's in October in Canada). I didn't look for him and he (GR May 13/82) came when I least expected it. He even asked me out when I was having an ugly day. I really feel at ease with him. He's not playing head games with me either. He's being very direct and considerate. Now, it's a bit soon to be throwing around the word 'soulmate.' But he definitely feels good to me. Whatever happens, I'm enjoying this experience of having an attractive, kind, smart man just show up. There was no work involved with this one, none at all! It was so easy! The similarities to what you said a year ago has me a bit weirded out though. Wow, you're good!

Love Mel
(MJS Dec 20/82)

P.S.-Thanks for calling me back a couple weeks ago. I got a glimpse of a friend's volitile temper and was quite scared. But, I'm ok now. You even warned me about them. I should have listened to you. Ah well, lesson learned!

Relationship

Hi Rose,

Just want to know if SCW 11-22-67 is the one to build a relationship with or is he the one for quite a few women (one of them being the former JG from NY, the big apple - unsure if she married or not)? I know he loves me and always has but distance is a factor for us both along with time. Not trying to hold onto something that's not meant, don't want to waste time.

Be blessed! Can't wait for the opportunity to see you again, one day, in person. Plan on looking you up as soon as I make plans to come there. Love you more!!!!

Aloha Rose,

I only have 8 days left until my final court date. My soon to be ex refused my offer from my attorney and came back with a three page dissertation on why I am not worthy to have a dime.

He is a sick man, but you already called that one. Anyway, i could really use some support. I am scared. This man terrifies me. I would love some reassurance that Monday the 29th will go well.

Take care!

love

InnerSelf.com - Daily Inspiration:All of us truly want to be in love, for love is our natural state -- literally who we are. The question is not, "Should we love?" but "Where will we find the love we desire?" If we decide that another person is the source of our love, we set ourself up for a roller coaster ride of heady ecstasy followed by painful frustration. Sometimes our partner will do things that make us feel loved, and sometimes he or she will do things that make us feel unloved. But as long as anything she or he does can make us feel one way or another, we have set ourselves up for a fall; we have given our power away in a most unkind (to ourselves) way, and we become little more than a yo-yo on the string of life.There is another way to love, far more magnificent, real, and rewarding. This way finds the source of our love, power, and life within us. This way teaches that our purpose is not to import love, but to express it. Instead of being a love seeker, we become a love finder. We do not wait for love -- we generate it.

Happiness

When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.

Helen Keller

Lessons...

Don't ask to understand the secrets of the universe, but simply to know what this moment means. It is easy to get lost in endless speculation. So, today, release the need to know why things happen as they do. Instead, ask for the insight to recognize what you're meant to learn.

--from Caroline Myss' Healing Cards

This is the only moment I have to enjoy Your handiworks. I now take time to go beyond mere looking, and to really see. Now is the only time there is, and in the vivid presence of Your now, I see beauty leap out at me from all that I see. Colors become more vivid, shapes hint at an inner splendor, sounds become the holy murmur of Your voice. All finds its purpose in You. All is whole and well in You. Thank You!

Laughter

“Those who can laugh without cause have either found the true meaning of happiness or have gone stark raving mad.”
~Norm Papernick

Affirmation:
I open myself to the humor of my limited thinking.

Meditation:
Dear God,Sometimes I am surprised at the thoughts that flitter in my head.There are outlandish fears, petty judgments, and ancient anger. I understand that these are coming up to be released from my consciousness. I am open to having a lighter attitude about these limited ideas. Instead of trying to push them away, I find the humor in their smallness, and release any power they might have over me. I let laughter sweep away old, limited thinking.Thank You, God!

Unlimited Potential

“In man, nature surpasses her creative limits.”
~Rudolph Steiner

Affirmation:
I claim the unlimited creativity that lies within me.

Meditation:
Dear God,I have within me a storehouse of creativity ready to serve me. Aligned with my soul, Your spirit within, I watch how new ideas and opportunities open up in my work, my relationships and my spiritual connection. I claim this limitless potential and I make every effort to express it in my life. As I express my divine self in the world, more of You is known.Thank You, God!

Finally...

Aloha Rose-
I just watched your segment on the Bio Channel. Wow...you were fantastic! Definitely quite a different experience from the original airing of River Rat on Court TV.

It gave me chills to hear you describing your shamanic journey. It was intriguing and your skills are amazing.

It will be airing again in a few hours!

The Power is Within You

“Nothing has the power to create stress.”
~Dr. David Hawkins
“Is it an opportunity or is it stress? You decide, by taking responsibility for your perceptions and rising above the victim role into an understanding that nothing out there ever has any real power over you. Life’s events can never harm you, only your attitude or reaction to them.”~Greg Barrette
Affirmation: God is in charge. I decide the quality of my own experience.
Meditation:
Dear God,There is nothing so powerful as a set intention. So I decide right now that Your presence within me is the great directing force in my world and in my life. Nothing outside of me has any power, for You are in charge. My life is now directed God-ward, as I focus on my heart, wherein I can hear Your still, small voice. Everything then becomes a rich opportunity for growth, and I am healed.

Subconscious Imagination

I play while I work and I work while I sleep. I depend on the functioning of my subconscious imagination to do my work.--Edith Shannon

Our minds are never at rest. It's rather nice to know that someplace within we remember everything that caught our attention; even when we weren't conscious of it. Learning to tap into this well of information comes with lots of practice and the willingness to get quiet, really quiet. It's our attitudes that make play of work. Keeping our thoughts and composure joyful prevents even the dullest task from boring us. Being open to the possibility that fun is an outlook we can foster changes us quite profoundly. It also keeps the channel to our interior imagination uncluttered with the negative. We will always know how to proceed in every instance if we let our inner knowing guide us. The subconscious imagination is never asleep.My inner self stands at attention always. I will let it answer my questions and make my decisions.

Let Go and Let God - an exercise

Say the words "let go and let God" over and over to yourself until you can actually tell what the difference feels like.

Letting go is a markedly distinct physical and psychological experience, much different from striving. Let go of your demands, along with your beleifs that you can't be happy because of what is supposedly missing in your life.
Insisting that you need what you don't have is discomforting.

The fact that you're okay without what you think you need is the change you want to see.
Then you can note that you already have everything you need to be happy, peaceful and content right here right now.

Relax into this knowing and affirm, again and again; I am letting go and letting God.

Happiness

Happiness is not in our circumstances but in ourselves. It is not something we see, like a

rainbow, or feel, like the heat of a fire. Happiness is something we are.

John B. Sheerin

Commitment

“The first step in getting the things you want out of life is this: Decide what you want.”
~Ben Stein

Affirmation:
I am clear on my true desire and I am committed to it.

Dear God,
There are so many possibilities available to me at any given time!I am grateful for the clarity to make decisions that support my soul. If I am unsure of what to do, I still my mind that wants to figure it out.I go within and relax in Your silent presence, and the clarity comes.As the answer awakens in me, I commit to it and move forward.Your spirit supports me, and my commitment allows me to cooperate with You.
Thank You, God!
