....I encountered the exact opposite of what I expected. In other words,

expecting the

absolute worst and having it turn out exceedingly well to the point where it

was obvious Amma was pulling the strings in order to prove a point...

Dear Suprita ~ I experienced this too, though not in quite such a dramatic

way. When I was talking to my daughter yesterday, someone else was trying to

call me, but I have never figured out how to put someone on hold without

hanging up on them. LOL (Linda = techo dodo) Later, preparing to call my family

(geeze, this shows you my state of mind that I had to prepare for the call), I

realized that I had a feeling of fear. So I went to the phone and listened to

all the messages to see if they had, indeed, called, which they had. My

mother was attempting to leave a message above all the background chatter and

laughing, and I felt so sad and left out. I wasn't sure if I would be able to

call the back.

 

But I did, and I experienced the same kind of turnaround that you did. While

my mother was telling me about their day, in the background my sister was

shouting, "I love you." So it was a really good experience, though I only

talked to my mother. She said they would call back today so I could talk to

everyone.

 

I'm not sure if this had anything to do with the sankalpa I have made for

now and the new year, but I definitely felt Amma's hand in the background,

gathering us all together in a spirit of love. Anything is possible with Amma.

Everything is possible with Amma. I even took my stepfather and mother's present

out of hiding and put them on our "Christmas Bureau."

When I took the wrapping off the CD my stepfather sent, I was astonished. It

was a CD by a Native American man named Vasquez, who my parents had

apparently heard live during one of the rv trips. I looked at the picture of

Vasquez

on the front, which was kind of transparent, with a mountain in the

background, tears came to my eyes. It was a picture of my "spirit guide,"

Rainbow

Peacebringer. Of course, I don't really think this Vasquez person is my

"guide,"

because my "guide" is of the spirit world. But the resemblance was

unmistakable and uncanny. I felt tears well up in my eyes. Again, I felt the

hand of

Amma.

 

Tonight, if I am feeling up to it, I'm going to go and tackle or at least

check out once again, the open mic at the Buckhorn, an historic saloon in Pinos

Altos, which used to be a mining town. If I feel up to it, I might even sing

.... it's been so long. But I will let Amma guide me. If it feels right, I'll

sing; if it doesn't I won't. But even just going, putting my foot in the

water again, is a pretty big deal for me.

 

Happy New Year to everyone ~ Linda
