When I was working at my company I had the opportunity each year to be supplied with a Franklin Planner. FP’s are very nice, leather-bound booklets with day by day, week by week, month by month calendars … all designed to help the busy professional keep track of the meetings they needed to attend, business contacts, etc.
As nice as they were, I never chose to have one. I couldn’t see spending the money (even though it was not my money) to have something I didn’t think I needed (and I didn’t). After all, it was enough for me to write any meetings I had on my calendar on my desk. It served the purpose just fine (and I never missed a meeting!)
Now that I’m retired, and 2010 has begun, I actually Need a planner! Who would have thought! Not that I’m going to run out and buy a Franklin … but I could really use one. I found myself yesterday printing out calendars on my computer for January, February and March so that I could keep track of everything I have going on.
It hit me this morning how hilarious it is that it’s looking like I’m going to have more meetings and I’ll be traveling more now that I’m retired than I ever did when I was gainfully employed! As I’ve said before – The Universe definitely does have a sense of humor … and be careful what you ask for … cause you just might get it!
To date, here are some upcoming events:
January 27th – 5:00 pm CST – guest on TAKE A SOUL STEP with Cathryn Taylor on Blog Talk Radio.
February 6-13 – travel to Florida to celebrate 30 years of marriage
February 19-22 – attend Parent Forum in Florida hosted by the Michael Minger Foundation
February 23 – 7:00 pm CST – guest on WALKING WITH SPIRIT radio program with Monique Chapman
March 4th – speaker at a metaphysical book club starting in Owatonna
I will also be traveling to Indianapolis sometime in February to participate with other parents in filming a video on fire safety prevention for college students.
Hmm … maybe I do need to spend today looking for the perfect planner?
Whatever you choose to do today – do it with love and enjoy!

Within the past two weeks I have attended two funerals and one visitation. It’s been said that people die in three’s … if this is indeed true I should be done with funerals for a while … I sure hope so, but you never know.
Each person’s death was completely different, how I knew them was different, and my response to each was also completely different.
But it brings home the fact that all any of us ever have is TODAY. Tomorrow is not guaranteed to us. I’m reminded that I need to live each day as if it were my last.
It also reminds me to hold my loved ones closer and let them know how I feel about them.
Sadly the Christmas season isn’t all happiness and joy … there are many people in intense pain and going through difficult times … this time of year makes it seem especially harsh.
The funeral I attended yesterday was at my church and the burial was in the same cemetery we buried Liz in. Anna and I commented on our way home how difficult it was and how it felt like a flashback to six years ago. We returned home completely exhausted and spent.
Be kind to yourself today and do something nice for someone else … and above all, give your loved ones an extra hug … we never know what tomorrow will bring.

I found this poem over on another wonderful blog site run by Phil Bolsta – Triumph of the Spirit
DANCING WITH GOD
When I meditated on the word Guidance,
I kept seeing “dance” at the end of the word.
I remember reading that doing God’s will is a lot like dancing.
When two people try to lead, nothing feels right.
The movement doesn’t flow with the music,
and everything is quite uncomfortable and jerky.
When one person realizes that, and lets the other lead,
both bodies begin to flow with the music.
One gives gentle cues, perhaps with a nudge to the back
or by pressing lightly in one direction or another.
It’s as if two become one body, moving beautifully.
The dance takes surrender, willingness,
and attentiveness from one person
and gentle guidance and skill from the other.
My eyes drew back to the word Guidance.
When I saw “G,” I thought of God, followed by “u” and “i.”
“God, ‘u’ and ‘I’ dance.”
God, you, and I dance.
As I lowered my head, I became willing to trust
that I would get guidance about my life.
Once again, I became willing to let God lead.
My prayer for you today is that God’s blessings
and mercies are upon you on this day and everyday.
May you abide in God, as God abides in you.
Dance together with God, trusting God to lead
and to guide you through each season of your life.

I’ve never been a huge poetry person. But once in a while you come across a poem that really hits home.
That happened to me this week. This poem, written by Andrea Hill, spoke to me deep within the depths of my soul. It speaks about losing a daughter, and having another daughter you hope never has to experience such a loss. I’ve tweaked it just a tad to reflect my life.
I BURIED MY DAUGHTER TODAY
by Andrea Hill
I buried my daughter today, my soul burns red with pain. No longer will I touch her face or caress her skin again.
I buried my daughter today, God what have I done wrong to have her stolen from my arms, when my faith in you was strong?
I buried my daughter today, thank God I have another. I couldn’t walk this path alone, every breath is a struggle.
I buried my daughter today, she was just a bit past twenty. Searing, ripping, tearing ache, my emotions overcome me.
My other will someday be a mother, to God above I pray, these words by her not repeated, I buried my daughter today.

I found this on another blog and thought it was so good I had to post here as well.
It was written by Regina Brett, a pulitzer nominated columnist with The Plain Dealer in Cleveland, Ohio.
Regina wrote this on the occasion of her fiftieth birthday in 2006. It offers good advice on owning surrender, being ourselves, going with the flow and living life in joy!
1. Life isn’t fair, but it’s still good.
2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.
3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
4. Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and family will, so stay in touch.
5. Pay off your credit cards every month.
6. You don’t have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
7. Cry with someone. It’s more healing than crying alone.
8. It’s OK to get angry with God. He can take it.
9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.
10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.
11. Make peace with your past so it won’t screw up your present.
12. It’s OK to let your children see you cry.
13. Don’t compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn’t be in it.
15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But, don’t worry, God never blinks.
16. Take a deep breath, it calms the mind.
17. Get rid of anything that isn’t useful, beautiful or joyful.
18. Whatever doesn’t kill you really does make you stronger.
19. It’s never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else.
20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don’t take no for an answer.
21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don’t save it for a special occasion. Today is special.
22. Over prepare, then go with the flow.
23. Be eccentric now, don’t wait for old age to wear purple.
24. The most important sex organ is the brain.
25. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.
26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words, “In five years, will this matter?”
27. Always choose life.
28. Forgive everyone everything.
29. What other people think of you is none of your business.
30. Time heals almost everything. Give time time.
31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
32. Don’t take yourself too seriously, no one else does.
33. Believe in miracles.
34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn’t do.
35. Don’t audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.
36. Growing old beats the alternative of dying young.
37. Your children get only one childhood.
38. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.
39. Get outside every day, miracles are waiting everywhere.
40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else’s, we’d grab ours back.
41. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
42. The best is yet to come.
43. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up, and show up.
44. Yield.
45. Life isn’t tied with a bow – but it is still a gift.

Enjoy the day!
Filed under: After Death Communication | Tags: Oprah, Sue Draper, The Today Show
I’m always so glad when I see media pieces that talk about after death communication.
Today I saw two completely different, but very stunning examples.
On THE TODAY Show this morning, a story ran about a little girl named Elena who died from cancer in 2007. After her death, her parents and younger sister began to find notes all over the house telling them how much Elena loved them. And, it wasn’t just a few notes here and there. To date they have three large plastic containers full of notes.
They even found notes that were sealed in envelopes which they have chosen not to open so they will always have an unread note available from their daughter.
Meredith Viera asked them if they thought Elena somehow knew of her impending death, even though as parents they had chosen not to tell her. Their reply was that they sincerely hoped not and they choose to believe that she did not.
Receiving these notes has been very healing for this family and has helped them on the road to acceptance and peace.
I believe that we all know everything that is going to happen – but we know it on such a deep level that we would consciously never ever access it – but some part of our soul does know.
Here is the story from TODAY if you would like to see it:
The second stunning example happened on The Oprah Show this afternoon. The Publishers Clearing House Prize Patrol showed up and chose someone from the audience to receive $25,000 . A woman’s name was read off and she came excitedly to the stage. During the commercial break, she told Oprah that she knew her husband was responsible for this wonderful surprise. She explained that she had had Oprah show tickets since 2007 but because of her husband’s illness, they hadn’t been able to use them until now. She went on to say that before her husband passed away on September 9th, they had discussed ways in which they could still continue to communicate with each other after her husband had passed. Another marvelous example of our loved ones sending something wonderful into our lives – but more importantly letting us know that they are indeed alive and well, and living marvelous new lives. I’ll bet for that woman having that knowing about her husband is worth more to her than winning the $25,000. Check out Oprah’s video to watch it all unfold. Now there will always be those who will say that these are simply just coincidences … and of course they have every right to believe that if they choose to. For my money – these are both stunning examples of the connection we all have with those we love. Love is a bond that can never be broken … not even by death! And that is the best news of all!
