Greetings, Friends!
Last week was extremely exciting for me! I did a 1.5 hour interview with Jenn & Steve Hodgson from the Your Life Matters radio show, where I talked about two of my books: Triumph over Trauma - Learning Begins in Infancy, and Guided by Spirit. Both Jenn and Steve gave me plenty of time to talk about my work with my youngest daughter, Jennifer, in Triumph over Trauma, and then they discussed my spiritual poetry anthology, Guided by Spirit. The interview opened and closed with two different readings from the book's accompanying Guided by Spirit CD, in which I read my poems aloud while Jennifer performs background music which she composed especially to match the intent of my poetry. Many of you have already heard this CD and have used some of the selections for meditation, healing, and relaxation sessions. (For CD purchase information, please click here to email me.)
Click here to listen to the entire interview on my website. (Note: the first 5 or 6 minutes is commercials, so you might want to forward past that part once enough of the audio file has loaded into the web page.)
Usually when I do an interview, I am quite nervous. One would think that I would be relaxed and composed at this stage in my life, but my books are like my children: precious and personal. I am so proud of them, as I am of my real children, and they are my heart. On the show, I began to talk about my younger daughter's traumatic birth, and how by working with her, I helped her to overcome many challenges as a child, and to succeed academically, neurologically, and intellectually later on in life.
Triumph is a story I am very proud to present to the world, for I believe that there are solutions to all problems we have. We need to surrender our problems to Source and acknowledge there is invisible guidance around us all the time. Then, we need to remember to ask for help. I prayed for help for my younger daughter, and synchronicity appeared in my life, in the form of a self-help book called How to Teach Your Baby to Read, in the form of a mother who was already stimulating her little one, and who shared her information with me, in the form of a special week long training workshop that I was able to find out about and attend not far from my home, instead of on the East Coast, on how to stimulate your babies, toddlers, children, to learn just about everything and anything, when my daughter was 20 months old and still nursing. Synchronicity appeared in the guise of a group of mothers who were stimulating their little ones with the same techniques that I had learned, and we formed a special group for our little ones to learn together, to socialize, to attend educational field trips, and to be lifelong friends, carrying with them the love for learning, and a curiosity and respect for all life, sprinkled with humility, and appreciation and love and respect for all people. During the interview, I gave examples of little ones in my own family and little ones with moms who were friends and strangers. All children have one major desire: to learn about their environment, and to sample and experiment on everything new---just like a scientist does---with focused curiosity. Children are wired to learn about their environment, and thrive well when stimulated with love and enthusiasm by their parents, their guardians, or anyone who takes an interest in them.
Children are in awe of life, and begin each day anew with the excitement to embrace new opportunities, new experiences, new delights that await them. Let us then be childlike in our view on life and what this world has to offer, knowing that if we too, work at living with joy, joy is what the Universe will gift us. Let the children be our teachers in the pure love of living, where each moment is new and a celebration in Spirit! It was pure synchronicity that provided me the opportunity to have this special interview to talk about my daughter, realizing that she actually taught me as much as I taught her. When I asked for divine help, opportunities came to me with ease and grace, and I have learned to acknowledge them with gratitude and just know that God is paving the way for my life to unfold with the gracious sprinkling of people, events, and sacred synchronicity all the time, and I am learning to be like a child: never doubting that solutions will come, and support will always be there for me.
I just feel as if I was guided to tell my daughter's story, for it is truly a miracle. And, at this time of the season, when Spring bursts forth in the new growth of plants, and flowers, and the trees are sprouting forth new buds, it is fitting that we think of a rebirth of our own consciousness, as we continue to work on ourselves, by meditating, or praying, or being aware of the glories that surround us, in the love felt and expressed by our family, our friends, by Mother Nature, and the myriad of beautiful blossoms that share their magnificence to lift our spirits and lighten our hearts. Let us embrace the gift of awareness, as we tune into our heightened senses of being fully focused and aware of our intuition, our inner voice, the synchronicity that comes to us, and the signs and symbols that parade themselves in front of us to take notice of the inner and outer dimensions that we reside in. Let us continue to give thanks as we practice understanding, love, forgiveness, gratitude for our families, our friends, our neighbors, and the strangers we meet. Let us be the friend we wish to have, and share our love, our light, our joy, with others, giving of ourselves and receiving the divine energy of all life as a precious gift from the Universe!
Let us feel the energy, the bliss, the insight, and the joy of the Creator within us, as we cultivate a rebirth in our own consciousness, as we connect with the rebirth of all life, moving through us, radiating from us, to all within our environment and this world. Let us walk with the gift of blessed awareness of the invisible sacred energy that surrounds us, and is so devoted to helping us on our life's journey on this planet. And let us see all life through the eyes of little children, in excitement, joy and enthusiasm, freely giving of ourselves and knowing that we, too, are guided, and supported, and nurtured, and in the loving care of our Divine Guidance. Let us carry this zest for life like little children (our Angelic teachers) do, preferring to focus on that which we love and delight in, knowing each moment is a new opportunity to explore, to enjoy and to celebrate. Let us, therefore, celebrate life all the time, even when challenges come to call.
In my book Connections with Spirit there is a selection entitled, "I Celebrate Life!" Read below for my favorite excerpt, or listen to me read the poem out loud with Jennifer's wonderful background music by visiting the link above.
I celebrate life in awe
Ever thankful for the harmony and balance
In my life
Loving all this abundance from the Universe
In full humility
In total gratitude
For the revelation of life
Which is the revelation of God
Everywhere!
Happy Easter and God bless you!
Love & Blessings,
~ Lightworker Gloria
