Recently, I found this quote online:
The question was posed; Why do Angels cry?
Angel tears bless, heal and welcome. They cry in rejoicing when a child is born. Their tears heal the broken hearted, the sickness in our world and the tragedies we endure on our life journey. When the time comes for us to go on they greet and guide us. At that time the tears of homecoming are a blessing.
~ Aithne Jarretta
So there I sat in Panera's with tears in my eyes absolutely astounded. It had been months since those words were written. Little did I know that one day they would make me stop and ponder the wonder of all.
For you see...
I have recently been going through some personal things and was in need of higher inspiration. So I laughed and asked, "Where does this come from?"
The laughter wasn't meant to be disrespectful. So many people say "Follow your heart." And sometimes I wonder how that is done. (remember I don't claim to never make mistakes)
So here I am following my heart and opening it in the process.
No, I don't have disrespect for Aithne's words because (very few people know) I AM Aithne Jarretta, Paranormal Romance Author and I answered that interview question from the depths of my heart and soul.
It just took me months to reaquaint my Self to myself.
I believe the angels are laughing now.

We’ve all seen it… Ask and ye shall receive. I will be perfectly honest. For a very long time I didn’t/wouldn’t ask. Yup. You read that right.
Somewhere along my life’s journey I lost touch with that deeper part of myself. Do I blame it on low self-esteem or childhood up bringing?
No. I prefer to admit that I lost touch with my inner healer and on a subconscious level knew that if I did ‘ask’ then I’d have to be responsible and respond to the call.
I allowed my life to get in the way of participating in my soul’s journey. During which time I became a lost soul.
In 1999 I met my first Reiki teacher. It turns out that Tom has the hands of an angel. His gentle and giving spirit inspired me to move back to my healer self. Even after 10 years I can still remember the look on his face when I admitted that I never asked for anything. (Divine or otherwise) Needless to say, he was shocked.
And I came away from that conversation wondering just why it was that I had stopped asking. More years passed while I went through some life changes. (marriage, geographical, and illness<--more about this later)
Eventually, after much turmoil, I started asking the Divine for little things. Some answers weren’t surprising. Others…yowza!
So each day I began the relearning process. During this time I self-created many circumstances that would eventually lead me here to this moment. There has been a lot of study and some interaction with people the Universe sent my way.
And here’s something that I’ve learned…
There’s a twist on this sacred concept of asking the Divine for what we need.
When we don’t ask, we give our power of creation over to those around us that do their asking.
Stop and reread that.
Isn’t the power of personal creation important in that wonderful life we ALL want? Everything comes from our connection between our soul and its Creator.
Starting today, don’t abdicate the right to choose and create—Ask and it shall be given. The door is there. Open it.

It’s true I have been a way for awhile. ;o) That’s because I was blessed with a visit from my first born son Bryan and his wonderful family.
The last few days have given me new insights to the multi-dimensional connection of families. In several places across the Internet you will have seen me requesting prayers for Baby Chace during the last year.
As a first time Grandmother I was unable to be with my grandson during his times of medical trials. *sigh* Eleven hundred earthly miles separate us.
Each time Chace had to face getting new casts on his little legs I prayed and sent him intense Reiki. Several friends joined in. Then came the necessary surgery because casts and braces failed to straighten his growing feet and legs. I admit I cried when I heard he had steel rods inserted through both of his feet.
More intense Reiki and prayers. So much support from giving Friends.
But… Someone told me that when he finally arrived in Florida Baby Chace wouldn’t know me or may even possibly scream every time he was around me. She was being kind—her words of warning were meant to prepare me.
They arrived on an afternoon Florida sunbeam.
When I opened the door to Bryan’s tall stature standing protectively over his family my heart felt the warmth of mother’s love. Then my gaze dropped to Amanda and Chace.
She was a bit nervous and looked a little tired. (1100 miles can do that) “Do you want to hold your grandson?”
I trembled and looked into his beautiful eyes. Recognition sparked within those dark depths. Chace made a happy sound, smiled behind his binky and nearly jumped into my arms.
Grandma’s first hug.
He’s such a strong little guy. The experiences of his first year of life will only make him more so. His feet braces are blue and pretty much go unnoticed by most people.
His helmet (head is slightly misshaped in the back but will improve) garners attention from many folks that see him. Most show friendship to Chace, others may avoid him because they don’t understand.
Through it all he has the true spirit of an earth angel. ;o)
So today I wish to Thank our wonderful Creator God for sending Chace as a blessing to all who surround him. His loving nature and gentleness is a wondrous wrapper for his strong spirit.
Have a Blessed and Safe journey home my dear family. Mom/Grandma Loves you. ;o)
