AND SHE WAS HEALED

Posted on June 8, 2011 by Judy

My good friend had suffered unbelievable losses in her life and she said such beautiful things to me. I was overflowing and could hardly take in much more. My vision of success that was with me from the very beginning of my journey had become sharp and clear at that moment. I just knew that I would heal many, many people. It wasn’t far off anymore either and I couldn’t wait.

YOU GAVE ME SO MUCH

Posted on June 2, 2011 by Judy

As I drove to the hospital I accessed my magic elixir. I realized I had craved it so much. The music traveled to every part of my soul. I parked at the hospital and as I walked inside I began to float. Everything and everyone around me became part of “the musical of my life.” It was a story that was predictable and beautiful for me.

COMFORTED, CARESSED, HELD SECURELY

Posted on May 20, 2011 by Judy

Calmness about the outcome was helpful; as it was when I took the chance that the rabbit might bite me. My teenagers often “bite me!” Sometimes fear gets in the way of doing things. I did not let fear “interfere” with following my heart to help that animal. It made me decide that the best outcomes in life happen with courage and determination to see a positive result. For so long I had blamed myself for not being able to save my child. I understand I cannot control outcomes, but I can control my attitude. With my writing and music I am following my heart and not allowing fear to deter me. It has taken tremendous courage for me to share my journey and all that has gone along with it. Continue reading →
