Wisdom 2008, An article for January 2009 1st draft
Hi everyone,
Wanted to share the process of writing an article with you. This is the 1st draft, from here this article goes to my editor and she makes changes, then I get it back and make some more if I need to. From there it goes to the magazine that I wrote it for. Look for the edited version in the next week or so.

Some say a new year is a new beginning. I know that on my spiritual path there are many beginnings and endings that have nothing to do with the calendar ending or beginning. A couple years ago I began seeing Fairies that was in January 2007. Last year in January 2008 I began seeing Angels, Michael himself gave me messages. This year who knows what January will bring to me. I am a work in progress and that means I am still learning all the time. I love that, my path always has something new.
From that first meeting with the Fairies my life changed. Wonderful people came into my life, the once in a life time kind that touched my soul. They came quickly into my life and made great memories. Most left my life quickly too, by my decisions and some times by my actions. By January 2008 only one was still there.
The 20 foot tall Angel with a Sword told me in January 2008, I know your going through a bad time, its going to be alright Have faith, I am with you. Have faith I am behind you. Have faith we are all around you. Have faith Choose love. I do have faith that it is all going to be all right and other times I forget to choose love. That one person is still there but not so much as before.
Even I get grumpy. Here in Seattle, the weather sometimes mirrors my moods. We had so many thunder storms this last summer. I love the lightning, had no idea it came in colors, just like the fairies do. I sat in the back yard and watched the show. Sometimes Thunder Nation would have a message for me to ponder about. Other times the Fairy would be about making mischief. I did meet a grumpy Fairy, its orange and likes to sit on my lap and be grumpy with me.
These days you find me traveling away from my beloved Seattle. You can find me in LA, San Francisco, Sedona, and soon many more places. Spirit has a way of molding a person to be who they need. Its been my experience they don’t ask permission. Yes, the Angels changed who I am. I don’t react to situations the same way, I choose love most often. Working on that so I can choose it all the time.
The lessons I have learned are tough ones about Love, people, friends and what a person keeps with them. For a while there I was upset with a friend of mine for doing exactly what they said they would do. I couldn’t choose love, it didn’t seem possible, and then it was. That big Angel with a sword has a way of making you feel small when you don’t follow simple suggestions. It’s a look in his eyes that says he is disappointed in you. Not enjoying that.
The wisdom of the last couple years, always choose love. Even when your life seems the darkest, and your friends all seem so far away, choose love. Always keep love with you even if its just a picture of your dog. Don’t live in your memories, there is no point to it, move forward with your life. Being grumpy doesn’t serve you or anyone, it’s a waste of spirit. A good friend of mine says that you should be like a feather in the wind, let it take you to happiness. Just going to settle back into my brother the wind and let the wind take me. Smile more often, and don’t forget to laugh all year long.
May the wind in your life be gentle and strong so it can take you anywhere you should be. May your friends be true, and your love be all you need them to be. May you know how happy you are so you know when to enjoy those moments, they are sometimes a rare thing.
