To all my Angelic Friends,

I am so grateful for a blessed 2003 in which I was able to truly spread my wings and fly. My gratitude goes out to God, the angels, my spirit guides, and all my friends and family here on earth who continue to support me on this exciting journey.

As the year comes to a close, I hope you are taking time to “clean out the clutter” and let go of all of the old patterns, the old things, and any other “ stuff” that no longer serves you. Whether your cleansing is physical, mental, or spiritual, it truly is a wonderful way to lighten your Spirit and make way for all the wonderful, beautiful things that are coming your way.

The angels say “Have Faith and know that you do deserve all the good that is coming to you.” As it says in the song, “Calling all Angels” (by Train), “I won’t give up if you don’t give up.” The angels are certainly not giving up and they want you to know that there is reason to hope. We are moving into smoother times. While there may be a few intense bumps along the road, overall the journey will be easier than it has been for most.

We continue to move into a time of powerful manifestation. Remember to keep your intentions clear and your thoughts positive as they are the seeds that will blossom into your reality. Ask the angels for support in this area and turn to them daily for guidance on issues, large and small.

I send you all Love and Light for a joyous and laughter-filled 2004.

Angelic Greetings Everyone!

If you’re like me, you were off and running as soon as January got here and haven’t stopped since. Don’t forget to take time to center yourself and frequently take long, deep breaths! Personally, I have enjoyed my busy-ness lately because much of it has been devoted to my passion – spiritual teaching and spiritual growth. Thank you to all the wonderful lightworkers who joined me in classes last month and truly inspired me with your enthusiasm and incredible wisdom.

Remember, I love to hear from you. If you have any questions or just want to share a story about an angelic encounter or how divine guidance has helped you, please don’t hesitate to email me at ellenwv@aol.com. Even when we’re not together physically, I know we’re working together and accomplishing great things in the spiritual realms.

A Prayer for Our Children

I had a completely different topic in mind for this newsletter a week ago, but now I know why I never got around to writing until now. With all of the news concerning children recently, it seems to me that our children need our attention right now.

When I say “our” children, I mean all of the children on this earth. Whether we are parents or not, whether we are young or old, we all have a collective responsibility for the earth’s children.

It has been a difficult week for children here in Florida. I cried for little Jaime and his family. I felt great sorrow for the friend who took his life and for his family. I prayed for Carlie to be found alive. And I was shocked this morning to read about the rape of a 10-year-old girl by two 11- and 12-year-old boys.

Those who know me know that I try to avoid negativity at all costs. But news of this kind cannot and should not be ignored. When our eyes and hearts are open, you cannot help but feel the pain of these and many other tragic situations. Spiritually, the question is what do we do with all this pain? What can we do to help?

I have been searching for answers lately. I even found myself questioning (as you might be), “Where were the guardian angels of these children?” “How can God allow these things to happen to children?” What I have received so far is that indeed, the guardian angels never abandoned these children. They were there to help them “leave their bodies,” even temporarily, so that the physical pain was minimal. Beyond that, I feel the angels are telling me that the “why” is much too complex for our human minds to grasp. With patience and time, understanding will be gained.

Again, the most important thing is the choice we make today in dealing with these situations. A teacher with whom I spent time last summer, Carl Big Heart, helped me to see that we cannot ignore pain, injustice and inhumanity. What we must do is to take it, transform it, and use it as fuel for our mission, our divine purpose here on earth. So that’s what I’m going to do. I have always felt that part of my mission is to help children spiritually and I am going to take the energy of the anger I feel and transform it into a positive energy that I can utilize to serve.

What issues strike at the core of your being? If some injustice or issue particularly angers or irritates you, perhaps it is telling you something about your purpose. Don’t look the other way. Use it!

Right now, I want to ask you to join me in saying a prayer for all God’s children. You can say your own prayer or use the sample prayer I’ve written below.

And in the future, when you see children in need, right in front of you or on the news, just take a brief moment to send your love and light to them. Send them extra guardian angels for protection. Or just say a simple prayer on their behalf.

“Dear God,
Thank you for sending your angels to watch over children everywhere. We ask that Divine light be poured on them and on anyone who might consider harming a child. Let the light wash away the darkness. We ask that Archangel Michael remove and transmute all negative energies from children and the adults around them. We ask that Archangel Metatron be present with children for spiritual guidance. We ask that Archangel Raphael envelop the children in his healing green light. And we ask that Archangel Jophiel help all children to see their own beauty and know self-love. Thank you.”

Angel Blessings,
