This magical, true story was sent in today by a client of mine in Wisconsin.  (Ginny in the story) Enjoy! If you have little ones at home, this would be a wonderful, bedtime story.

This true story takes place in the time span of 2010-2012.  It starts in Greenbrier, Tennessee. The month was April.  It was a beautiful spring day and Dennis was looking out his window one morning and saw a truck pull into his driveway.  It was his fiend Patrick.  He went out to meet him when out of the corner of his eye he noticed something brown moving in the yard.  He thought it was garbage so he went out to pick it up.  Much to his surprise it was a puppy!  A cute little puppy!  Dennis took her into the house to show the family that what he had found was not garbage at all but a puppy.  His wife, Cindy, and his daughter Jesse were both home. They all felt sad for the little puppy that someone didn’t want. So they decided right away to keep the puppy. It was a girl so Dennis named her Penelope.  Pee for short.  She was so tiny they had to feed her with a bottle.  Her eyes were open but just barely.  She couldn’t walk very far at all. (It was later discovered that Patrick had seen the puppy get thrown behind a dumpster and he took her and put her in Dennis’s yard because he knew she would be taken care of). Pee was taken in and loved by this family.  They took care of her.  This meant a lot to her.  She was loved and she loved them right back.

Pee and Dennis went outside together every day.  Dennis had a room out in his garage where he had his computers.  The two of them would go there every day.  Pee would be wrapped up in her small blanket and out they would go.  Dennis would put her in a chair next to him and he would sit in his and do what ever it was he did on his computer.  To Pee, this was a small piece of Heaven.  She was with Dennis and she was loved. 

The days blended one into another. Pee grew.  And grew.  When they went into the computer room now, Pee was able to jump up into her chair all by herself. She was so proud when she could do that. And she grew.  It got to the point where Pee would jump up into her chair and sit, but her legs would hang down or over the arm of the chair.  She was so happy.  She had a family. She had Dennis. They had a bond that only a dog and her Master can have.  Pee would do anything for Dennis for the kindness that he had shown her. 

Dennis took her for rides in the car.  They would go lots of places together.  She would sit in the car and the window would be down, her nose sticking out. “This is the life”, Pee thought, “ Dennis and I together, with all the smells of the world”.   

Summer came and went.  She played with the other animals at their house.  Kiwi and Lucy, they were dogs too. They had a great time playing, as all dogs do when they play. She played with the neighbor dog, Jack.  And the treats!  Not a day went by that Dennis wouldn’t give them a treat. This was the life.  

Summer grew into fall but Pee didn’t really pay any attention.  She was having a grand time as most loved animals do.  She still went out to the room with Dennis and they had their time together. Fall went into winter.  In November, Dennis started to take care of Cindy’s Uncle Bunny.  Now this would have been just fine with Pee, except that Uncle Bunny lived ??? miles away.  He would be gone for a few weeks at a time, come home for a bit, then leave again.  This happened a few times, but each time Dennis would be gone a little longer.

Pee missed Dennis when he would go. She would have fun with Jesse, but even she was busy and couldn’t spend the time with her like Dennis had done.  She was in High school and had things to do, places to be.  Cindy had to be at work every day and sometimes at night.  It just wasn’t the way it used to be.  Dennis wasn’t home.  They didn’t have that time in the room together every day.  Oh sure, they still had some time together when he came home, but he seemed not to have as much time for her.  He was always busy [Read more...]

This beautiful 95 year old woman in this picture is my mother-in-law.  As I see her with divine eyes , I see God shining bright in a small, but mighty package.  I give thanks for her loving and wise presence in my life.  I never had the gift and experience of a nurturing mother.  In my younger years, I remember watching mothers and daughters shopping, walking, talking and loving each other openly. I used to dream about such a relationship and wonder what it would feel like. That dream has come true through my mother-in-law, Erma Farrelly.  She has comforted me in times of sadness, imparted wisdom when needed, shared past family stories that have made me laugh, made me cry, and most importantly filled that spot within me yearning for  a mother’s love.  I give thanks for her unconditional love and acceptance for each and every member of her large, extended family.  She is a queen and a light of God.  She is a hero to me and I love calling her “Mom.”

We’ve just returned home from Minnesota celebrating another union of our children in holy matrimony.  Ryan and Misty have a love that was meant to be right from the beginning.  Their love for each other is such a joy to be around.  Observing them is like an electric charge that bounces off everything in their path.  They’ve held it together through a long distance relationship, many business challenges, Misty leaving home and moving to California and then putting together a beautiful wedding in Minnesota despite their crazy, busy schedules.  The sun blessed us all despite threatening rain and thunder storms.  The view from atop Spirit Mountain was breathtaking, the fields and hills lush and colorful. An eagle circled our children as they exchanged vows; each beaming from ear to ear. Ryan and Misty are now married and that makes all the Farrelly children husbands and wives.  We are so blessed and proud of them all!

I felt such warmth and presence of divine light and love as Ryan and Misty so joyfully prepared for and celebrated their wedding day.  Minnesota is really much more beautiful than I had imagined and the people came out in force to dance, eat and share the love on Saturday.  The little ones in particular danced with wild abandon into the night.  It was delightful to finally meet Misty’s family and loved watching her grandpa dancing with the best of them; getting down into the groove!  Such fun!  The grandparents made us feel welcomed and we really enjoyed sharing time and philosophy with Aunt Patty.

In reviewing the weekend on the flight home, Fred and I shared our ongoing gratitude for all the blessings  of our children’s happiness  and our lives as well.  All of us are genuinely positive and at peace, deeeply in love with our partners, children and extended family.  Oh, if only all on this planet could have hearts touched by this state of being.

As an American, I celebrate the fourth of July; a day focused on our independence and freedom.  So many on this planet have lived this life under a cover of fear and oppression, lacking in so many of  the areas we Americans take for granted.  This  dimension of reality  is changing across this planet at this time, and for this, I am eternally grateful.  The seeds of peace are planted and the fruit of this valiant effort has taken on an energy that will change the face of this planet.  This expanding world consciousness will usher in world freedom.  The spread of internet global communication is connecting all who wish to live peaceful and fruitful lives.  Corrupt governments and financial institutions are toppling. This consciousness revolution is  not led by a small group of selected individuals, but rather by the unification of a newer generation who choose to end war,  anarchy,  brute force,  poverty and oppression.  The freedom-minded around the world are connecting and demanding the right to be healthy, make a living, and have the human dignity they deserve.  This is the coming of the New World.  Yes, the old system will wage a final fight to hold their positions and wealth, but their demise is near.  The new generation birthing onto this planet will not live lives centered on imbalance, hatred and judgment.  They will share the God-given natural state of being; one birthed in love, creativity, abundance and freedom to do what one chooses.

This topic of freedom goes so much deeper on an individual basis.  As you come to realize you are an extension of God, made in the same image and likeness, you then begin to consciously create your individual reality.  You are powerful and unlimited.  All you need comes from within and the state of being you put yourself in.  You need not go out and “get” anything, but rather go within and create whatever you desire. If you are in a state of happy, abundance, healthy and joyful; your world will hand that to you on a platter with ease and comfort.  (I won’t use this blog to give a full lesson on creation and manifesting, but am just making a point) The greatest indicator of your creations at any point, is your reality.  How you perceive , is what you will experience.  How’s your life looking these days?  Do you perceive life as loving, abundant, healthy and joyful?  …..or not?
