Kim O'Neill - Word of the Week
Issue: # 8 April/May 2009
A newsletter for people who are prevailing on their spiritual journey.  It's all about keeping the faith, maintaining courage, developing enlightenment, and creating a life
you can love through service to others.

Welcome to Connecting You With Spirit!

Spring Flowers    Spring is in the air and it's the time of rebirth. If you desire to reinvent your life-this is the time to do it! Have you outgrown a relationship or a job? If so, muster your strength and courage, and start to make new plans now! Remember, ships are safe in the harbor, but that's not what ships were built for. 

    Unlike a carbon footprint, you are supposed to leave behind a spiritual footprint that represents how you helped make the earthly plane a more enlightened place than the way you found it
The Three Tasks That Allow You to Create
True Happiness
    
     I've learned-from the information that I've received from guardian angels-that true happiness is indeed possible on the earthly plane, and it is achievable by accomplishing three tasks. These tasks, I believe, are the keys to creating remarkably positive changes in your life, as well as allow you to become a fabulous spiritual mentor for your child, if you are a parent.
      In the January issue, I discussed the first task, which is developing an awareness of your life's work and the issues you have left to resolve. In this issue, we're ready to move on!

     Second task: Accomplishing your agenda by mustering the faith and conviction to be who you are and to take a stand on behalf of your convictions.
     Winston Churchill is a wonderful example of someone who had the courage to withstand a blistering torrent of negativity to remain steadfast in his convictions. During the mid-1930's, he became increasingly troubled over the fact that Germany was manufacturing arms at a staggeringrate and was rapidly fortifying its military. When he shared his concern with Parliament, he was shouted down as an alarmist and was told, in essence, to keep his paranoid ramblings to himself. But he mustered the courage to remain steadfast in his position, amidst a furor of public criticism. A few years later, when his concerns became a reality, his peers offered him the post of prime minister. By that time, it was already almost too late, as Germany had begun plans to swallow Europe and was headed for war with Britain. However, Churchill prevailed andtriumphed because of the strength of his resolute determination and his refusal to give up.
     Few of us will be called upon to save our country as he was; but, each one of us has chosen a destiny to make some kind of difference in the world. Are you making yours? Or, are you allowing others to force you into a direction that does not make your heart and soul sing? Perhaps you dream about a certain career, but your family wouldn't approve? Perhaps you have come to embrace a new spiritual philosophy that wouldn't be popular with friends or family? Perhaps you understand that if you begin setting boundaries and standing up for yourself, certain people will become angry or hurt, and shut you out? Then so be it! You have no control over the decisions other people make-but you do have control over your own choices. Be a parent who leads by example. This is a perfect time to release the need or desire to have other people's endorsement or approval of what you want to do. You might be surprised to learn that the majority of people fail to create a life that makes their heart and soul sing because they lack the
approval or support of others. Muster the courage to make the choices that most appeal to you.
     Declare yourself--regardless of what others think or how they'll react--and you'll be on your way to true happiness.

Synchronicity

Sheila's Story
       My daughter introduced me to Synchronicity by lending me the book "The Celestine Prophecy."  Having lived many years in a rural part of Scotland...my husband and I decided to return to the City. With my moving arrangements almost complete I took a huge fit of the "wobbles" and had serious doubts about my decision to move. On the wall of my present home I had a favorite picture. It depicted a woman with a silly hat pulling a reluctant wee Jack Russell dog behind her. Being the owner of a similar hat and also the owner of a wee Jack Russell this picture was almost a self portrait. I decided to travel to my prospective new home and view it one more time to reassure myself. Arriving at my destination I go off the bus two blocks early and decided to walk to the flat but on the way noticed for the first time a small tea shop.
     Deciding to boost my flagging spirits I popped into the shop and sat down at the table furthest from the door. During my short stay the owner appeared and started to fuss about the shop trying to find a spot for something he wished to hang on the wall, after a lengthy almost ridiculous deliberation he decided to hang it right above my table. You guessed it.....the very same picture I had hanging on the wall at my present address. I took it as a sign I was meant to move and on reaching the flat was told by the Agent for the property would I mind very much looking around by myself as she had to get back to feed her own wee Jack Russell! My decision was happily made.

Channeled Question 
Dear Kim: My husband and I have been going through a very difficult period for a while now. I do sincerely believe that I love him, and I think that he loves me as well although at times I am unsure of his love for me. We have both made mistakes and I am trying hard to make things better. Can you tell me if we have a viable future together and if so, whether we will have any more children? I deeply want another child but I seem to have difficulty thinking clearly lately and I am not sure if this will be possible. Is this just a bad phase or is our marriage over?
Meaghan V., 38, Virginia Beach, VA
 
Dear Meaghan:  Your angels tell me that you had a terrific marriage filled with love, devotion, and lots of passion. But, it has soured, and you are both feeling the unmistakable signs of a real disconnect. However, you do have a chance to resuscitate the relationship and help it blossom into a full heart, mind, body, and soul marriage-which is the reason you and your husband were destined to meet in the first place! Although you both love still love one another, you're careening toward the point of no return. Before that happens, please find an experienced, reputable couple's counselor. With a little therapy, you two will develop a better relationship that you ever thought possible. Once you and your hubby have invested the time and energy into healing your differences, two more children are destined to join the family. You can save your marriage-but you have to act-now.    

Profiles in Success
   To all the women in this world that are in an unhappy, painful marriage and lack the confidence and self-esteem to begin a new life...I am testimony that it can be done. I was married for 20 years to a man that was larger than life. He was charismatic, ambitious, smart, funny...the "all American guy"...but behind closed doors he was a completely different man. He was filled with rage and it would bubble out more and more as each year of our marriage went by...I was EXTREMELY unhappy. He manipulated and controlled me with ease. After every outburst from him, I thought I had done something wrong to cause this man so much anger. I became so needy over time and had zero confidence in myself. I now realize I did nothing wrong and I was emotionally abused for 20 years along with our children. I am nearing the end of my divorce and I can't tell you how excited I feel inside about going on this new journey. I am FINALLY listening to my soul. Recently, I posted my resume on careerbuilder.com and received an email to come in for an interview for a sales position. I did, happily, and was offered a position. I had never done sales before and had been a stay at home mom for a LONG time. I am now on week 5 of my job and have been #1 in sales 3 weeks straight and know that there is NOTHING I cannot succeed at as long as I set my mind to it, visualize and go for it. You can, too...believe in yourself that you deserve happiness. Don't stay in a miserable, unhappy marriage. It's not fair to you or your children. You will see your life improve instantly! Erase from your mind that you cannot take care of yourself financially without your husband. I am proof it can be done. It's waiting for you...start listening to your soul and get out there and start living!

I have taken it upon myself to try to better understand the economy as it is today.  We can find many answers to life by simply watching nature.  I found this information about turkeys by David Mikkelson of Snopes.com:

Domesticated turkeys are not necessarily "stupid," but because they have been bred in captivity for so many generations, they lack the survival skills of their wild cousins: They're weak, they're fat, they're not agile, they can't run very fast, and they can't fly. All of this makes it more difficult for them to survive on their own in an unprotected environment, so when something unusual occurs (such as a storm), they tend to panic. Frightened domestic turkeys will usually run as best they can until they reach a corner or fence or some other barrier to progress, but even then they may continue their efforts to escape, piling onto each other and possibly suffocating those at the bottom of the heap.

Now lets change a few words...

Domesticated humans are not necessarily "stupid," but because they have been bred in captivity for so many generations, they lack the survival skills of their wild cousins: They're weak, they're fat, they're not agile, they can't run very fast, and they can't fly. All of this makes it more difficult for them to survive on their own in an unprotected environment, so when something unusual occurs (such as a financial depression), they tend to panic. Frightened domestic humans will usually run as best they can until they reach a corner or fence or some other barrier to progress, but even then they may continue their efforts to escape, piling onto each other and possibly suffocating those at the bottom of the heap.

So here's how it seems to work... 

1.  People watch the news and hear that the world economy is not doing so well.
2.  They panic and reduce spending, companies reduce spending which in turn has a negative impact on the economy.
3.  A week later people hear the world economy is doing much worse.
4.  They panic and spend even less which in turn has an even greater negative impact on the economy.
5.  A week later you hear the world economy is on the brink of collapse.
6.  I bet you know what everyone does next.  

Sounds a lot like a turkey stampede if you ask me.  Will Rogers once said:  "If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging."  Perhaps we should all take his advice...

Kim's Tip 
   Write a letter to yourself listing all of the choices you remember having made that resulted in stress, hurt, anger, disappointment, unhappiness, boredom, or loneliness. Maybe you regret having entered into a particular relationship or marriage; perhaps you regret taking a job that was clearly not of your caliber; or, the time when you bought something that you truly could not afford, causing you sleepless nights wondering if you could meet your financial obligations.

   Or, you might recall the time when you had a huge fight with a relative; or, the occasion when you were not as loving and supportive as a parent, spouse, sibling, child, friend, or colleague. After you write or type each entry, stop for a moment. Place your hand over your heart, and say, "I forgive you for..." 

   If you are really sincere with your apology to self, you'll very likely come away from this exercise feeling much lighter, happier, and ready to set more far-reaching goals. You'll no longer be punishing yourself by looking back at choices you made in the past and maintaining a fear in your judgment and decision-making. Let me know how this works for you!
