California had a rainy days this week so I used this time to view all of the sites on my blog. What fun and each site lead to another site. I learn soooo much from every one. Should I get a life? This is my life and I like it. Then my order from Gina K Designs arrived so I got to play. play, play.

April 29, 2008

   I have been reading about attunement after having attended Sunday Service.  It was my first time at their service and it happened to also be the last day of their attunement conference.  Wow, I had a most incredible experience dealing with a cousin who getting hospice care for lung cancer, hip and brain also.   Three different people spoke from love ...one gentleman talk about the stages of a butterfly.  I was able to visualize my cousins' life before cancer as her caterpillar stage.  The 'mush' or crysllis stage seems to be what she is in now with her spirit experiencing leaving one world for another.  And finally the last stage becoming this beautiful butterfly. 
The closing circle of the service was putting our left hand behind the head of the person on out left and the right hand in front of the person's heart to our right.  I could visualize my cousin's spirit in the center rising up to the heavens.
I then sat by the sanctuary where the water fountain is and wrote the following.

Dear Clarice,
Since receiving your email last evening you have been on my mind and in my thoughts.  This is not to say you weren't in my thoughts before but this was different.
First, I planned to come visit and deliver your gifts and then I realized with coughing and blowing of my nose this would not be a good time for your well being.
Then I considered writing a letter but didn't know what or how to say what I wanted.
This morning I made the decision to attend a different service at the Emissaries of Divine Light. It was their ending time of a conference on attunement. I will have to look that word up when I get home. There were people here from all over the world. Three different individuals shared. Following this we formed a circle in which our left hand was at the back (not touching) of the person on our left's head and our right hand was in front of the person to our rights heart. We became one continuous circle of energy love and or spirit.
It was during one of the speakers sharing about a butterfly and its change that I came to peace with you.
Your life before cancer was that of a caterpillar moving through life just as you were meant. A change was taking place within you making a new form of life into the "mush" stage of the crysillis. This 'mush' time would be confusing, fearful, and scary until such time that the change to return to caterpillar was not to be and to stay as a crysillis also was no longer to be. That is when I saw your spirit become a butterfly flying into the heavens. While tears were running down my face I was neither sad nor overjoyed just marveling to the process of life and feeling a calm within it.
So as we formed that circle I visualized you in the center rising up and ascending into a new spirit world.
I am pleased to have been a part of your caterpillar stage and the praying for your crysillis. I am comforted in this crysiliis stage knowing at some point you will peacefully ascend into a butterfly state of a whole new world.
It has been my pleasure to know you through the years and to know you better as I aged.
Love to you,
judy

Sympathy Cards for my Family



Clarice became a butterfly today. . First card is for her 91 years young mom. The other cards are for her hubby, and brother.
The card with the white ribbon (lungcancer) will accompany the floral arrangement. The angel under that card is the inside of the card. The writing at the bottom says She's is an angel, she's a being of light.

My other sites...

I have a couple of other handmade greeting cards  sites.  And albums are here.  The items on these sites are for sale. If you are interested let me know and thank you for looking. 

This was my first stamp room!!!!

The first two pics are of my dining room where I had my original stamp room. Shelves on wall hold some of my woodies and the shelving is deep enough for two woodies deep. They are stored in video boxes (idea from Sally McDonald) Second pic is of bookshelves that originally held my collection of children's book. Now it holds the rest of my woodies in video boxes. The edge of video box has wallpaper bookshelf of classics. The baskets hold items I have for sale.



Then one day hubby said why don't I move into the family room soooo we could be together. Which you will see if you scroll down past the pet pics.
These last two photos are of a workshop being held in the same room by my upline Linda Trumbore and the last pic is "Ginger" waiting for class to begin.

Big Thank you to those who have links to my site.

I have been tracking who visits this site and how you get here. Thank you to all of you who added my link. I am now researching 'keywords' to get more hits. Hopefully it will bring more people interested in Handmade Scrapbook Albums and Handmade Greeting Cards.

Can anyone tell me how to have all or most of my posts on one page.

I find that as I look around others that my time is taken up going to the older posts however on some sites they are altogether and for me a joy to view all at once. So how to I do it.

Leads

Oh, oh, oh, just got this idea this am at a Leads meeting. What is Lead's? It is group of delightfully bright, funny, and real women that meet each week to support each others' business by giving leads to each other from within the group and outside the group.
So here was my idea... I would list their web sites under Leads here on Scruffy Dreams and if any of you live in southern California Inland Empire and use these services and mention my name I will get points in a current contest. Most of all I would just like to help them out as they have done soooo much for me.
Did I mention the group is limited to thirty women and NO occupation can be duplicated. You can go to www.leadsclub.com for more information.
In the mean time I am going to email them to view this so it will be legal.
