To Heaven and Back

My mother in law brought this book over, "To Heaven and Back" by Mary C. Neal, MD, on Sunday to show to me, she thought it was something I would enjoy and connect to.  She had no idea and I had no idea, just how much this book was meant for me to read.  I made a mental note to buy it in my next "book buying run".   I figured it would be something similar to what I've read in Don Piper's "90 Minutes in Heaven".
By accident (NOT!), she left it behind...... soooooo, I took that as a sign and decided to take it with me on my commute to work and read it.  "To Heaven and Back" spoke to me! I DID connect to it, the same way I connected to Mary Soliel's book, "I Can See Clearly Now: How Synchronicity Illuminates our Lives".  It's as if it was put in my path to help clarify the questions in my heart at these particular times in my life. 

Kinda funny how both of these books are written by a MARY!  

LOL ~ Mary is everywhere in my life!

A particular paragraph in this book I feel compelled to share here is in the chapter called,  "Conversing with an Angel", page 98:

We are each given the opportunity and privilege to come to earth for different reasons.  Somtimes we come in order that we may personally develop kindness, patience, joy, peace, goodness, fathfulness, gentleness, and self-control.  Sometimes we come to help someone else develop the fruits of the spirit.  We all come to earth to become more Christ-like, as noted in Romans 8.

This is a beautiful chapter. 

Another paragraph that spoke to me, regarding angels as messengers from above, was on page 134:

Truly, God's messengers are everywhere and come to us in the forms that we can and will accept.  That may mean a great grey owl or another sort of creature, to one person, and a human being to another.

..... when describing one of my conversations with an angel in a sundrenched field in heaven, there are angels all around us and we each have "personal" angels who watch over us all day, every day.  They help us, nudge us, and guide us in all sorts of little ways that we usually don't notice.  Sometimes they push us forward and sometimes they pull us backward.  Always, they want very much for us to follow the path that has been laid out for us by God.

I love acknowledge and am grateful for all my signs and messengers!

Books Choose Me

I have been on such a reading kick lately ..... one book after another. The fun part about the books I read is that I don't choose them, they choose me. It all depends on what is happening in my life.

I just finished reading two pretty incredible books by Jenniffer Weigel that I totally connected with. Yes, another Jen comes into my life :)! She thinks just like me - holey moley!! Wait a minute, who's older? If she's older, then I think just like her.... right? Isn't that how it works?

I happened to come across her first book as I was searching for a book for my SSS, Jen Dio in Borders. It's as if the book jumped out at me. The title itself caught my attention and then as I read the back I knew I had to have it. She too has had cardinal visits and signs:

"I'm Spiritual Dammit!"

I couldn't believe all the connections and synchronicities I had with Jenniffer Weigel, so reading her next book was a must:

"STAY TUNED: Conversations with Dad From The Other Side":

Crazy crazy crazy...... how we both wonder and question the same things! In her book she shares about her many Medium connections. I too have had many experiences with Mediums in the last 3 years and believe in the healing they provide. James Van Praagh is a particular Medium she favors and I had heard about him even before my Jenniffer Weigel adventure. I felt it was time to read one of his books, sooooo, I went to my little Amazon WISH LIST (HA - very much the opposite) and added to my list:

"Talking to Heaven"

THEN ~ within hours, I received a message in my E-mail: Your Amazon.com order of "Talking to Heaven: A Mediu..." has shipped! What the heck?!? I've put MANY books on my wish list and this has NEVER happened. I took it as a sign that it was meant to be! Someone wanted me to read this...... Well, I have it now and after reading the first paragraph in the Acknowledgments, I see WHY it was meant to be! It spoke of my own passion: To promote LOVE HOPE & INSPIRATION to the world through my experiences and through Positive Living!

"When one begins the task of chronologically recalling personal experiences by breathing life into words, it is done with the hope that, in some small way, these expressions will create a sense of knowledge and wonder as well as aid in the enlightenment of another's path." ~James Van Praagh
