Angel Card for the Week of June 14th 2010
Posted by: | CommentsHello Dear Friends of
Ano-Hou (answer to a prayer) Life Enhancement!
“All of our prayers are answered, all of the time.” True statement….
You don’t have to take my word for it, *energy test* it, (kineseology) for yourself! Yes, you do know how to do it!
(That’s another one of the skills that I taught those who attended my seminars and free Gatherings! 
The answers come usually as, ‘Yes’, ‘No’, (or not yet!) or “I have something better in mind for you.” 
You just gotta love that last answer.
Like many of you, I pray every day. There are sooo many who are suffering some sort of ‘hell’ to pray for…So much to pray and intend blessings for…
I don’t have access to their Soul’s Blueprint, so I can’t really pray for God to fill some sort of specific request for them, after all, we just don’t know what the ‘higher plan’ is for someone…
I always pray for the ‘Highest Good of All Concerned.’… though I gotta say, if someone is in physical or mental anguish, it’s pretty well impossible for me to not to ask for a cessation of that pain… especially when I begin to empathically feel it too…
It doesn’t surprise me at all that there are “Holy Men/Women” who have dedicated their entire earthly lives to sitting atop mountains in prayerful meditation for the good of the world and for all who live in it…
It’s been done for thousands of years… God knows we need it…
HOW we pray is supremely important. Never pray from ‘lack’… pray only in the positive… and intend on the Highest Good for all concerned.
And for heaven’s sake, REMEMBER to ASK for what you want!! Angels love to be asked…
But it doesn’t always work out the way we hoped for, does it?
Our prayers are always answered, only sometimes, they are answered in ways that we believe SUCK! Many answers, we believe, suck BIG TIME!
Yeah, I said it…
Tom was downsized out of his job 18 months ago…
SUCKED BIG TIME… “Bread Winner” to cold turkey, is hard…
harder still on the Soul…
However, at the time, I was very concerned for his health, as his job had become extremely stressful during their ‘restructuring’…
So, really, it was an answer to another prayer, to have him be relieved of the terrible stress load…
(*Be careful how you language your prayers* )
Despite our and those who love us, prayers, novenas, candle-lightings, moon dances etc…
Highly qualified, he’s been to no less than 47,000 interviews since then… and nada… nothing! (yet!)
Despite several nail-biting ‘close calls’ of finding something wonderful for him… NADA… NOTHING! (yet!)…
Oh yes, it sucks… sucks, BIG TIME…
Answer to prayer: NOT easily seen through all those hills of bills
Then, like Manna falling from Heaven last year, I was offered a HUGE business opportunity. An offer that came from someone I know, trust and respect… It was truly a perfectly timed ‘answer to a prayer’. Not only would it end any financial woes, it would give me the satisfaction that only comes with feeling truly ‘useful’ in this world. Living ‘Life’s Purpose’, using my unique skills while reaching the greatest amount of people to help as possible and being *valued* and compensated in return… Oh how we rejoiced! Prayers clearly answered!!
Not so fast Grasshopper….
Suddenly, my Mother was diagnosed with ‘incurable Multiple Myeloma cancer.’
She promptly had a heart attack and had no option but to have extremely risky(in her condition) quadruple bypass surgery or face certain death…
Of course, my full attention turned to her and her care. Sadly, it soon became clear to me, that I couldn’t split my time or focus to do the creative work that was required of me in the time frame required for the project opportunity, and so, in tears, I felt to be fair to the business partners, (despite my prayers for the work) I had to back out of the deal.
It was devastating.
Every day since, we live with the consequences of that decision…
But I cannot regret the choice I had to make at that time.
Every year since 2004, I’ve heart-brokenly lost a most precious Loved One… Not receiving the ‘answer’ I’d hoped and prayed for… My Mother’s condition scared the bejeebers outta me… I was not, and am not, ready for her to leave us…
Despite the Doctor’s worry that my Mother’s china-brittle bones would literally crumble into her heart during the invasive open heart surgery, my Mother survived the operation and rehabilitation…
Prayers, most blessedly answered..
She lives and continues to enrich our lives, living her life with the challenges of Multiple Myeloma, and we thank God every day for the answered prayer of ‘another day’…
During my Mother’s rehabilitation from surgery, my beloved little furkid ‘Tia’ became mysteriously ill.
Despite hundreds of years worth of combined knowledge in the people who were involved in her diagnosis, treatment and care, no reason for her illness was ever found… She steadily declined in health every day, looking at me with those large, beautiful, fawn-like, innocent, brown eyes, and nothing I did, seemed to help…
Not the treatments that were being given day and night, not the prayers, not the ‘power of love.’…
Nothing…
After three months of feeling the most frustratingly inadequate failure a ‘Mom’ can feel, we watched our baby die… The Vet who gave me peace of mind by giving me his schedule and promising me he’d be there at the ‘end’ to ease Tia’s pain at home, never showed up… It was not an easy passing… She died in Tom’s and my arms… It was Tom’s birthday…
In my deeply wounded human heart, I still haven’t found the Higher Good ‘answer to my prayer’ in this situation…
Though my Soul knows, there has to be one…
There has to be….
Last November, in a snow storm, a pneumonia virally infected, mite-infested, mostly dead, jiffy pop for eyeballs- blind kitten the size of a fuzzy peach, planted himself in front of Tom’s car in the driveway like some kind of Tiananmen Square stand off… I thought it was a clump of road salt fallen from Tom’s car, but Micaleen alerted us to his ‘live status’, and we took him in.
The ‘adventures’ of Champ’s recovery have been documented here ever since. Don’t you love it when prayers are so clearly answered in the way you want them to be?
Though for the life of me, I can’t remember ever asking God for a kitten??
Prayers were also positively answered when his light-footed little ‘Shim’ brother, *Star* was found in final death throes, in the snow by the barn, in January and so joined Champ inside our home, on the tables, under the furniture, inside our pillows, up our noses and solidly in our hearts… I had no idea cats scaled walls and could turn on water faucets for ‘fun’…
Two weeks ago, the worlds sweetest, most kind and beloved Tan, Barrel-chested, Wiggling Earred, Innuit Hooptoomoose died..
Our dear Micaleen…
Her passing came right out of left field and sucker-punched us…
Alright now God…enough is enough…
(NO damnit, that’s NOT a challenge!)
Why have I shared a glimpse of intimate portions of my ‘hit list’ with you? Do I think I’m the only one with problems?
Of course not!
And neither are you! Just look around you….
Have you noticed this (apparently) massive increase in suffering in recent times? If you haven’t been personally ‘hit’ have you been ‘second hand hit’ by a loved ones’ tragedy?
Have you noticed it in your family or with other Loved Ones? How about friends, neighbours, colleagues? Certainly, you’ve noticed those in the news, hit by massive, natural (and some not so natural) disasters.…
Not just humans, but animals also, even our beloved Gaia herself is suffering… Its’ reached epidemic proportions…
I’ve seen it all around me…
Pointedly, I know a significant amount of ‘Spiritual people and Teachers’, all who have striven in every way to do good works and stay positive despite great personal hardship, die-hard “L.O.A.s”, heeding the ‘Law of Attraction’ philosophy, stiff upper lips now trembling, as we wait between hits, for the ‘good’ side of ‘it’ to happen…
And yet, despite embodying the ‘higher vibrations’, they are being slammed with the most devastating events that have forever changed our lives…
What’s happening? What’s going on?
No, really, I’m asking!!
When the Angels gave me this card to share with you this week, it came with the direction for me to write exactly what came to my mind and clearly, I have…
As always, I defer to the Higher Powers that Be to know what is ‘best’ for us, so I leave you with this message to pontificate….
But in the twirling Carousel of my Carnival mind, I feel that we are being ‘tempered’ like a fine sword… Plunged deep into the blazing fire, pounded repeatedly, to strengthen, harden and prepare us for some…
Higher Purpose… yeah that’s the ticket…
Some, grand and noble Heavenly Design…
and ohhhhh boy… Will we ever be ready…
Why else would a Father allow such suffering to His child, if not to one day gather us up in His arms and say, “See? This is why.”
It’ll give new meaning to the words, ‘I have something better in mind for you.

What is the definition of ‘Power’ to you?
Is it “Money Power”? Can you purchase every single thing your heart desires, including, let’s say, a new heart?
(And can I have a side order of ’soul’ with that please!)
Is it “Physical Power”? Can you do 50 chin ups in a row with your two strong, muscle-y arms, (o.k… and sometimes a good toe-hold) like Champ can?
We’ve all heard about the “Power of Love”? Some say there is nothing greater, “love can move mountains”, perhaps, but it won’t keep a loved one from leaving you… If it is written…
How about Moon Power? Solar Power? “Texas Chili Power”?
(Talk about lighting up the Universe…)
Is it ‘Flower Power’? (Oh yeah, I’ve seen documentaries…)
There’s the “Power of Prayer” which God grants us any one of three answers…1) Yes… 2) No… 3) I have something better in mind for you…
There’s the ‘Power of the Written Word’…
(but damn it Jim, which word????)
There’s “Wind Power” (as the latest micro burst we had Saturday evening proved, when it took down a massive maple tree that stood next to our house…)
There’s “Angel Power” (as evidenced by the massive tree miraculously not damaging the house when it fell against it)
There’s “Power in Forgiveness”… If only we could forgive that @#*!!!
There’s “Brain Power” (one knot goes into knot 5, 5 times… as per Jethro Clampett)
There’s the “Power of Purpose”, not to be confused with the “Power of Porpoise”… (which has it’s own validity and well, purpose… )
How about the power of Laughter? I’ve read scientific papers of a Doctor curing himself of an incurable cancer by locking himself in a hotel room for some knot weeks, doing nothing different but watching the ‘Three Stooges’…
The “Power of Thought”… Woooowooo, that’s a dandy, that one! Some brilliant person once gave a seminar on “How the Power of Thought Can Make or Break Your Life in 3 Seconds or Less… and she was right!
“Power” is Energy…it says so in the Thesaurus… But ‘Energy with Intention’, is the most powerful of all… Of all what? Choice?
There is the “Power of Choice”… But first, you have to choose…
So many POWERFUL choices of Power to consider! Tooooo many for me to even skim the surface of here…
There are as many definitions of Power as there are people, as we are all unique.
We all see, understand and judge things through the filters of our own life experience. If we can remember that, we’ll have the Power to be better people…
In my sandbox, the Power of Peace of Mind, ‘wins’, for if I have “Peace of Mind”, I’ve accomplished everything else…
EVEN, if I haven’t as yet accomplished *everything* I want…
But that’s just me…
How do YOU define Power in your world?
POWER
Use Your Power, for Good!

Very unexpectedly, a beloved family member transitioned into Spirit this past week.
Micaleen, was our last surviving Arctic rescue from our years up in Frobisher Bay (Iqaluit). Some irresponsible, loopy crackpot up there had the notion to create a ‘Super Guard Dog’ by breeding a Rottweiler with one of the massive Nordic Innuit Dogs chained to the pack ice.
Micaleen, better known to this list as “The Gargantuan, Wiggling Earred, Tan, Barrel-shaped, Innuit Hipootoomoose” from Champ’s Serengeti adventures, was in fact, the sweetest, funniest, most kind and most ‘human-loving’ of our entire pack…(including Tom & me)
We often called her the ‘Walmart Greeter’ as she was the first to offer a warm welcome to any human who had gotten the green light to enter the Inner Sanctum, after thorough ‘body (& mind) inspection’ by the front line German Shepherds and India, our sabre-nosed, psychic, alien Greyhound.
Her unbridled love of humans always amazed me, as I rescued her when she was a puppy from an Innuit boy who was amusing himself by swinging her by her back leg around his head and smashing her to the ground when I called out to him from the police cruiser. She was only 5 weeks old.
Somehow, she not only survived, but soon thrived and her joi de vivre and comic genius blessed our family every, single day of her life. It didn’t matter how tough life was getting at times, Micaleen, or ‘Schmooopy’ as we affectionately call her, had the power to have us instantly ‘change state’. Uplifted and laughing in no time, her little nub of a tail wiggling and waggling in glee when she knew her antics had accomplished the job…
She was also the family ‘cop’… If some of the fur kids started to get a little out of hand with each other, Moopy would hurl her body in between them and break it up before ‘it’ would have much of a chance to start… Madly wiggling that little nub and ‘licky-licky’ing’ everybody’s faces, sticking it in their ear’s and up their noses, her huge tongue blinding them, while squirming in between, under and over every- body involved… 115 pounds of pure *distraction,* who could remember what the fight was about?!?!?!!?
She enjoyed a healthy appetite and abundant health all of her life, though in later years, lipomas became an issue. (Rottie’s tend to be predisposed to this I learned) She was species appropriate fed with a natural raw diet and every meal you placed in front of her was received as though you were Julia Child and this was the first meal Moopy ever tasted…
She loved oranges and apples and indeed enjoyed a ’secret code’ with her Onkel Christoph when he visited, where she would osmosis him every evening, and he would immediately get up and peel and quarter them for her.
But Carrots were her ‘Crack-Cocaine’… I can’t even describe how cute it was to see this tiny puppy up in the arctic go crazy-happy when presented with a carrot! She continued to love to eat them with that same ebullience all of her life.
We called her ‘our Baby’ even though Onyx came after her…
Our sweet, adorable, little happy baby, Micaleen…
She looked the way she has a thousand times while dreaming of ‘chasing rabbits’…
But it was a small seizure….
Cradled in the arms of Tom, Onkel Christoph and me, Micaleen peacefully transitioned into Spirit on the Full Moon.
It was a miracle that kid was doing what he was doing to her the very moment I pulled up in the police cruiser that day so long ago… A moment earlier, a moment later and I would have missed the whole thing, never seeing that tiny ball of Innuit fur that sooooo enriched our lives…
It was a miracle that she survived what he had done to her…
It was a miracle that my Shepherds accepted her into their pack…
It was a miracle that in her later years, she accepted Champ & Star into her pack…
Her attitude and life’s Motto, “Always Carrots/Always Happy,” to me, was an inspirational miracle...
But then, she just had a way of creating miracles all around her… We thank her so, for sharing the miracle of her life…
God knows, I’m going to need a miracle this week to get by here… here, in the cavern emptiness of her physical loss.
MIRACLES

I’ve never been able to understand a person who could utter the words, “I’m bored.”
Being a human in this world is a heaven sent, golden opportunity to be constantly amazed with mind enhancing, soul expanding, learning extravaganzas.
To me, it is an utter impossibility to be bored!
It doesn’t matter how many years you will be around, you simply won’t get to the end of ‘everything’ there is to know about life and earth living in one lifetime.
There are just so many staggeringly interesting things to learn!
There are vastly more exhilarating topics than there are people to explore them.
Doesn’t it make you excited just to think of the potentialities?
Access to knowledge is limitless.
If you don’t like to read about knowledge, you don’t have to read to learn… (though I highly recommend you learn to read )
If you don’t like or know how to use computers, you don’t have to receive your knowledge from that either, though I think computers have added an abundance of possibilities and worlds of information at the touch of a finger.
Though as Wikipedia will attest, not everything you read on the ‘net’ is 100% true (“Feel full & Mellow all the time and lose weight on the Marshmellow Diet!”) but it will give you a good start!
There are gripping documentaries on public television that will enrapture your mind and take it away on a mini-vacation! (In case it wasn’t doing anything that weekend)
There are radio programs with provocative guests to learn about topics you never knew even existed…
There are PEOPLE, some of them even in your own family
(I know! The shock of it!!), you can have spellbinding conversations with and acquire knowledge about where it is you came from.
The trials and tribulations of your own people… The accumulated life experiences of the ’stock from which you came’…
Particularly interesting, is finding the eldest relative in your family and giving them a couple of hours of ‘listen time.’ Rather than thinking there isn’t anything at all they can tell you about life, LISTEN in a new, open way and allow yourself to come into the possession of knowledge unique and wonderfully enriching in a way no one else can give you knowledge.
So many ways to learn, soooo little time!
If you aren’t thrilled with one way, use another!
One of my favourite ways to learn about the wonders of existence, is to bring myself ‘to level’ into the Kahuna Mind State (an altered brain wave state), which opens up an entirely new plane of learning. I’ve taught how to enter into these different brain states at my Gatherings and Seminars, so many of you on this list are familiar with the techniques. For those of you not familiar with it or if you want to re freshen your memory and train and improve your skills I invite you to check out the meditation here at http://www.ano-hou.com/products/secrets-of-the-kahuna-mind/ .
Did you ever wonder how your favourite hydrangea plant experiences its’ existence?
Why not go to level and experience it for yourself?
Have you ever thought about what life was like on Atlantis?
Why not go to level and experience it for yourself?
Have you ever thought about what someone else was thinking?
Why not go to level and ‘put their head on’?
Have you ever wondered how your pet was feeling?
Why not go to level and look inside their body?
Or while at level, simply ask them how they are and what they need?
How can *anyone*, anyone with a brain, say they are bored?
With a brain, you have no limitations. With a brain, you can go anywhere, see or even ‘be’ anything or anyone… You can do do and experience, ANYTHING that you like.
Those of us who teach, know there is no end to ‘Study’.
It is simply another word for Learning/Research/Knowledge & Enlightenment. I believe, once you reach your thirties you realize that indeed, you don’t really know ‘everything’ as you perhaps once believed in your early twenties and teenage years.
You learn that life is a never-ending ocean of abundant learning and it’s just too fascinating a ride to ever really want to get off.
Remember, as you continue along life’s journey, it’s a good thing to be a little cracked…
That way, you’ll always let in a little Light.
STUDY
Brightest Blissings!
Challenge yourself to learn something ‘new’ each day!

A couple of years back, when I was a teenager (o.k. o.k., maybe a little bit more than a couple of years ago 
) living far, far away from home and family in the wild interior of British Colombia, I had the experience of being in a car driven by a drunk driver.
Yes of course in today’s world, I’m sure I would have had a few more options than I did that dark night, but as it stood at the time, I found myself with the option of taking my chances running the 20 miles back to my mountainous residence through the thickly forested bush without compass or direction, but certainly with plentiful Cougars, Grizzly Bear’s and Sasquatch as incentive to pick up the pace, OR, getting in the car with ‘Mormon Sam’ (not his real name) on the night, unbeknownst to me, that he decided to give “demon alcohol” a first taste, backed up with a good dose of, that good ol’ college try…
Five minutes into the drive, I knew we were going to crash. ‘Crazy Sam’(o.k. that’s his real name) had just that very day picked up his brand new car and wanted to ’show me what his car could do’… sigh… Faster and faster he drove as he manoeuvred the perilous cliff edges, winding and climbing the black mountain road.
The wise words of my Father ran hauntingly through my brain,
“No matter where you are, no matter what time it is, CALL ME if you find yourself in a situation with a drunk driver and can’t get home… NEVER get into a car with a drunk! I’ll come and get you.”
But Dad was 3,000 miles away and there was no(sober)body else… There weren’t any taxi’s in this remote village and there wasn’t anyone else to turn to…
I tried to rationalize the decision in my mind even as I mentally apologized to my Father for letting him down…
I pictured him sobbing over my closed casket, (the body sustained too much catastrophic damage to be displayed) asking ‘Why? OH why was my child such an idiot???’ over and over again…
I remember taking one long, last drag of my cigarette and leaning over and putting it out in the ashtray because I didn’t want a lit cigarette to ignite the fuel from the damaged and leaking gas tank after impact. I wondered how much damage the ‘case of 24′ Psycho Sam asked me to hold on my lap for the drive home would do to my insides after it shattered and impaled me. Then the final moment came…
The last thing I heard was Sam gleefully boasting, ‘95mph in fourth!’
The last thing I saw, was a telephone pole heading right for me…
The last thing I heard, was my Father’s voice…”NEVER get into a car with a drunk!”
I have absolutely no doubt whatsoever, that the only way I survived that crash was through Divine intervention and the quick work of my own beloved Guardian Angel.
It might not have been that obvious…
It may not have been that dramatic…
But I assure you, YOUR Guardian Angel has been there for you…
Sometimes, as in my experience above, their power, grace and intervention has been very,very clear. Other times, perhaps a little more subtle.
*Everybody* has a Guardian Angel (at least one) whether you believe in them or not…
Not only has your Guardian Angel been with you since you were born in this lifetime, but yours was assigned to you the very moment you were a spark that entered into an individual existence, and yours will stay with you until the very end of all time.
Feel the safety and LOVE your Guardian Angel has for you now… Ask for a name… Take the first thing that comes to you…
Take a moment and thank your Guardian Angel for their unwavering, eternal devotion to you.
GUARDIAN ANGEL
