Calling all quality professional psychics!  Even on my very best day, there is no way that I can meet the need for readers, healers and other professional spiritualists on my site.  Five thousand people visited my site yesterday alone! 

When I first started Angel Messenger, it was with the goal of creating my own center.  With the downfall of our economy, it became impractical to rent a building and try this on my own.  So, with the help of my guides and angels, I kept working on creating a website that could offer as much help as possible.  The only problem now is that it has gotten too big, and it’s time to revisit my original goal.

Although it is still impractical to create a physical center for spiritual growth, I feel it’s an excellent idea to create such a space online in an environment that has already proven to be popular and useful to website visitors.  So, I am looking for quality psychics, healers and spiritual professionals who may be interested in offering their services at Angel Messenger.  I have not worked out all the details yet, so I am not even accepting applicants at this time.  This post is more to put some feelers out there to see what the feedback might be.

My plan is to hire a few individuals to help me meet the needs of visitors to my site.  Being that these are my clients and people that put their trust in me, the application process will not be easy.  I like the way that Psychic Access interviews and tests their psychics, and those wanting to work with Angel Messenger will go through a similar process.  Though I have many friends who offer these types of services, I cannot simply hire my friends.  That would interfere with the integrity of what I’m doing here.  Applicants will be interviewed by myself and tested by my clients. Applicants will also have to show a proven record of being a successful professional psychic, etc., with at least five years of experience.

The readings offered would work differently than what Psychic Access does.  I do not like per minute readings for several reasons.  For one, they tend to be more expensive for clients.  For practitioners, it can be time consuming waiting around to see if someone calls, and most prefer scheduled appointments.  What I am putting together will be scheduled appointments.  Practitioners can offer days and times they wish to offer appointments at Angel Messenger.  Clients will be able to schedule appointments up to three weeks in advance but no sooner than three days in advance.  That means practitioners can get on with their regular schedule, and no one will be required a set number of hours a week.  If you can only offer appointments on Angel Messenger every other Tuesday evening, I can work with that. 

If you know someone who may be interested in working with a reputable website, please forward this information on.  If you personally are interested, please stay tuned as more information will follow.  I am not accepting applications yet, but I will be soon.  If you have any suggestions for creating this project, please post in the comments section below.  (That way your comments won’t get lost in the never ending sea of my inbox!)

Angel Blessings,

Sheri

Okay, so I’m sort of back in the office now.  Last week was really crazy with being at the hospital every day and not knowing what to expect.  Being that I do what I do, hospitals are not very easy places for me to visit.  It was especially difficult to go into my mom-in-law’s room and see people and energies that I was not ready to see in there.  I knew they were there to give her strength, but they could have just as easily have been there to take her home.  They told me they would help her fight as long as she is willing – and as long as her body is able.

On Wednesday, we were basically told to expect the worst.  On Thursday, we went in to find that Mom was sort-of alert.  She asked me what was going on.  I tried to tell her what the doctors were hoping to do, but I wasn’t sure if she even understood who I was.  Then a priest came in, and, within about a half an hour later, Mom was alert and having some serious discussions with us and the doctors.  She hadn’t realized how serious her condition had become.  Knowing was unsettling to her, but she wanted to know all her options.  She told us that she wasn’t ready to leave and wanted to continue fighting.

I had been strong all week long … strong for my husband and strong for our 8 year old son.  But, when Mom took my hand and promised that she wasn’t going to die on my birthday, all my strength went out the window.  I burst into tears.  It was more than I could handle at that moment.  Going from such dire circumstances the day before to seeing her in right that moment was like seeing your loved one come back to life.  It’s difficult to explain.

Mom is being treated with an experimental drug that may or may not work, and we may not know if it’s going to work for several weeks – if her body can hold on that long (which we pray it does).  Though I will be working, it is possible my schedule will be disrupted, and sessions may have to be cancelled or rescheduled.  I don’t want to not offer services, so I am offering them with the understanding that appointments may have to be changed.

Just FYI, for those of you who are local to Williamston, Michigan, I am offering a meditation at my home office next Tuesday morning at 10am.  If you’re interested, there are a few spots left.  Just visit the scheduling page and click on workshops when the calendar comes up.

I hope to write more as the week goes on, but I’m just going with the flow as they say for now.

Peace and Blessings,

Sheri

I have been out of the office for the last couple of days and plan to be out for the next several days as well.  My mother-in-law is in critical care in the hospital, so I have been there with her and my family.  I will respond to emails, etc as soon as I can. Please understand that my response time will be much longer than usual.

I have also taken down my schedule availability for right now.  If you have scheduled a session, I do plan on honoring your appointment if at all possible.  Thank you in advance for your understanding.

Blessings and Light,

Sheri

I haven’t been working as much in the afternoons because my house has become the “go to” destination for after school social activities for the neighborhood children.  It’s great, though.  I love kids, but I don’t get as much work done after school as I used to. 

My mother-in-law has been in the hospital for over two weeks now as well.  I know some of my friends online have been sending prayers her way, and I sincerely appreciate that.  The power of prayer can be a miraculous thing.  We’ve been visiting mom as much as we can, but the hospital is a good distance from our house.  She’s not in critical care anymore, so the prayers are working, but there’s still much debate over how to treat her condition. 

Though life is always busy, I’m still working on my life’s work.  My schedule is slowing down a little bit from the initial influx of all the people who were waiting for sessions.  So, if you’ve been trying to schedule, now might be a good time to check out the open appointments. 

I have a new scheduling system now, too.  I’m using Bookeo, which is giving me more options than my old scheduling company, and I should even be able to offer gift vouchers for the holiday season.

Speaking of appointments, I am now offering in-person appointments on Tuesday and Thursday mornings.  But, there is a catch … you have to be approved for in-person appointments before scheduling.  I’m really not trying to make things complicated.  It’s just that my office is in my home, and I need to be careful about letting just anyone have my address or posting it on the internet.  With this new program, you actually have to enter a password in order to schedule.  If you have been to an in-person session with me in the past year, you are probably already on my list of allowed visitors.  I’m in the process of updating that list now.  Once I’m finished, you should receive an email letting you know you can schedule.  But, if you don’t want to wait, or you are new and would like to be added to my list, please fill out this form.  Once you are added to my list for in-person appointments, you will be sent a password that allows you to schedule online.

There are two workshops coming up in November as well.  I’m always saying that my primary goal is to help others connect with the other side on their own, and these workshops do just that.  The first is a meditation workshop on Tuesday morning, Nov. 15th, where you can meet with me at my home for a meditation and conversation.  The second workshop is an Introduction to Mandalas.  The Mandala workshop is scheduled for Thursday evening, Nov. 17th. If you are local to the area, it would be great to have you join a class and meet with me in my home.  Check out my schedule here for more information on workshops.

Well, that’s all for now.  Have a great day! 

Angel Blessings,

Sheri

Tomorrow is our Independence Day in the U.S., the 4th of July.  This day commemorates the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4th, 1776, declaring our independence from Great Britain.  This annual celebration is accompanied by barbecues, parades, and fireworks all across the nation.

This afternoon, my family saw Transformers at Celebration Cinema in Lansing and then went to the Texas Roadhouse for dinner.  They have a tradition there of announcing birthday and having guests raise their glasses to the celebration of another year.  Today, there was a birthday, and shortly thereafter another celebration was announced.  A young woman was there having dinner with her family.  She was just home from Afghanistan, and she will be going back again shortly.  Everyone raised their glasses to the young woman and her sacrifice in the name of freedom.

It’s men and women like this one that our celebration is all about; it’s a celebration about freedom from tyranny – ours and others.  I know there are many reasons the U.S. became involved in this current conflict in the middle east, but the truth is that men and women make sacrifices every day for the sake of life, liberty and free rights we hope to maintain in this country.  Tomorrow is a celebration of what that stands for.  I’m sending out my love and asking the angels for blessings and protection for our brothers and sisters in arms.  This is my personal thank you to soldiers like my sister, Jessica, and all those others out there stationed in places far from their loved ones.  Thank you all (and our forefathers) for your dedication and your service.   Without those heroes of the past, we might not have the freedom to think for ourselves today.  As Americans, we must always remember what our forefathers fought for, too.  They didn’t fight for the right to stand aside and let others dictate what we believe, what we stand for.  They fought for our rights to our God given free will.  We have the ability and freedom to think for ourselves, and it’s important we remember to do so now and in the future.

Be independent!  Don’t base your opinions on the words of others.  There’s a lot going on in this nation of ours.  I urge you to put your thinking caps on and find the truth for yourselves. 

In the Light of Truth,

Sheri

Mona writes, “In the last few weeks the planet and us have been feeling the energetic acceleration and expansion into our higher self. No one has been left out, and everyone is feeling it in the way their system allows it.

2011 is the year of rebirth and renewal. That means the old can go and the new can enter.  On December 21st, 2010 there was the Solstice and a very powerful Full Moon Lunar Eclipse. This had happened only one other time in 2,000 years. This created a portal where the light and love have poured onto the planet. Many are awakening at incredible rates.

June 1st was the partial solar eclipse, June 15th was the total lunar eclipse, June 20th was the full moon and this Friday July 1st is another partial solar eclipse. Yes, this is a BIG DEAL!

What does it all mean!!! It means that all that sludge, mud at the bottom of your soul is being dug up for you to look at clearly. Relationships are falling apart left and right if the vibrational frequencies are not in vibe. Old things, people, are coming back into our conscious mind for us to look at and do something about. The energies of the eclipses are stirring everything up. DO NOT IGNORE!!

Your stuff is coming right into your face so you can do something about it. So get on it and clear them up. Cut unhealthy cords, let go of limited beliefs and paradigms, activate your higher self. The planet is giving you incredible opportunities to see the roles you have been playing of lack and limitation so you can do something about it.

This is a unprecedented time from a spiritual standpoint. You have the opportunity to drop the ultimate illusion. The illusion that we are separate. That you are not supported by the universe.  That you are your story.

Who would you be without your story? Please meditate on that for the next few days and especially on July 1st. Use the energies of change, shifting, growth to step into being all that you truly are.”

Mona is offering a free alignment call on July 4th 8:30 pm EST.  On July 5th the call will be available to listen for 2 days under free alignment call. This is a very powerful call so please don’t call in while driving!  The purpose is to increase your vibrational frequency on the planet, so give yourself the gift of being present.

Okay, so I know this isn’t much notice, but I just found out myself. I received a letter in the mail stating that work will begin this coming Monday on my street.  The city, along with Consumers Energy, is planning on replacing gas and water mains as well as reconstructing the street surface.  They expect work to continue into August.

What does this mean?  Well, I’m not entirely sure yet.  I have left a message with someone at the city, so I hope to hear back from them soon.  My concern is that this will greatly affect my ability to offer appointments basically now through August.  Obviously, it would not be a conducive environment to conduct telephone or in-person readings while work is going on outside.  Not only would it be disruptive to the conversation, but I would have difficulty concentrating.  My other major concern is that I suffer from humidity induced migraines during the summer.  Even with the air conditioning on in my home, I can still be affected.  With noisy construction and the possibility of losing power (and therefore air conditioning), summer is not looking to be a good time for me.  That would also mean appointments would be affected due to my illness.

I have been feeling nudges from my guides to take the summer off from appointments, but I really didn’t want to do that, and I certainly wasn’t going to make that decision right now.  I had considered offering appointments through the end of June, but I was even fighting with myself over that.  As of right now, I do not know how my appointments or health will be affected by the work being done around my home.  I will have to post later with details and a real plan.  For now, I wanted to let my clients know that things may be changing with my schedule.  If I am not able to offer telephone and in-person sessions for the next few months, I will offer more email readings instead.  The reason my guides have been pushing me to take some time away from appointments is because I have several projects I want to work on, but my schedule is too heavy right now to really take time for anything but appointments.

I’m guessing they won’t be able to work in the rain, and the weatherman is predicting rain every day for the next 10 days (except today .. It’s beautiful out today!)  So, I hope next week’s appointments will be okay.  If you have a session scheduled for next week, I will contact you right way in the event I believe your appointment will be affected.

I guess for now I am asking for patience and understanding from my clients.  My appointment availability is likely going to be affected by upcoming events, and there’s not a whole lot I can do about it.  Though, that doesn’t mean I’m all that happy about it. 

Peace and Blessings,

Sheri

“Hi Sheri

I wanted to know the real answer to this question.I know god didnt do it out of vengeance.I wanted to know whether its a time of planetery karma for us all.Does god really have no control over environmental effects and is it really caused by the development of buildings by humans?.You said you felt the sadness of the divine.I wanted to know even if god did it ,is it for our souls development to become people focused less on ourselves and materialistic items but more of love and compassion for others?

When the incident happened to JAPAN.I felt really sad…I didnt think oh god is so cruel..i knew there must be a bigger plan for it,Because i do know JAPAN is a country of people with so much of love,compassion and respect and giving people to one another even in the time of crisis.Did god perhaps want us to see how this nation reacts for one another in crisis in such a calm manner compared to other nations?”  ~ Cindy

Dear Cindy,

What you’re asking is probably more of a question about personal faith and belief systems.  While my “rant” / answer to this question was more against those who feel others deserve destruction, I didn’t give further explanation on purpose.  You’ve called me out on that. 

I avoided saying more because I feel passionately about this topic, and I don’t want to step on any toes.  However, I do not feel that God causes devastation.  I am one of those people who were brought up to believe otherwise, that God punishes us with weather and other supernatural forces, but my experiences had me nixing that belief a long time ago.

I do not believe any of what’s going on now was caused by Divine intervention.  I do, however, believe what we are seeing has something to do with natural consequences.

As Daffy Duck would say, “Consequences Shmonsequences.”  Well, I think we’ve said that a bit too much, and it’s coming back to bite us.

Heaven isn’t interfering with the path we have chosen because we freely chose it; they’re quite big on free will up there.

Do I believe the Divine hopes we can turn this around or make the best out of a horrible situation, thus improving the development of our souls and forcing us to be less self-absorbed and more compassionate toward others?  Yeah, I would think so.  I believe our heavenly guardians want what’s best for us.

So, why do they want what’s best for us but don’t save us from ourselves?  Well, now that’s a much more complicated answer.  I don’t pretend to know everything about how Heaven works, but I view our heavenly guardians much the way I view good parents.

Would a parent knowingly let their child die before their time?  Absolutely not, and our guardian angels would prevent that from happening to us as well.  However, an earthly parent might never allow their child to perish, but heavenly beings have a different viewpoint and understand things differently than we do.  Our “heavenly parents” watch over, protect, teach and guide us to the best of their ability, but they won’t make decisions for us.  Unlike many earthly parents, our heavenly parents don’t always let us avoid the consequences of our actions either.

Even though the situation with Japan is heartbreaking and horrible in most every way, every situation presents an opportunity to grow and learn.  How we as humans respond to such tragedy will determine our most defining moments.  Who are humans?  What has become of humanity?  Will we create more destruction and chaos, and will there be a silver lining to all this?  Only time will tell as those questions will be answered by the free will our beloved selves.

~ Sheri

“Dear Rev. Sheri,

In church this morning, some people were talking about what happened in Japan as God’s vengeance.  I don’t know how I feel about that.  I mean, is God really so cruel?”   – Christina

Dear Christina,

I think I must have seen your question mere moments after you submitted it.  I had another question picked out to answer today, but it’s become more than obvious to me that I’m meant to answer this one.  I was looking at video of the devastation on YouTube and couldn’t believe some of the comments I was seeing saying this exact type of thing.  What do they mean by God’s Vengeance?  Do they mean the bombing of Pearl Harbor in WWII?  I’m pretty sure the U.S. itself dished out enough “vengeance” on that one.  I do not see anything good about what happened then, and I don’t see good in what’s happening now.

My energy is maybe more connected to these natural disasters than the average person.  My first experience happened back in December of 2004, the tsunami that hit the Indian Ocean.  I woke up from a horrible nightmare that had me running for the bathroom as nausea overwhelmed my senses.  I could only remember bits and pieces of the dream, but it was one of my very real ones that always scare me half to death.

There was a hotel with tall white pillars, a beach, palm trees, and high waves coming toward the land.  I ran into the water trying to tell everyone to run, but no one would listen to me.  It was like I was the only one seeing the danger.  I was screaming and tried to grab a little girl out of the water, but I couldn’t.  I realized no one could see me, like I was a ghost.  I screamed and cried as the waves hit, and that’s when I woke up.  I had no idea it had actually happened.

All day, I felt like something horrible was going to happen to someone I loved.  I called all of our family members to make sure everyone was okay.  Later, we drove across town to my husband’s family to celebrate my mother-in-law’s birthday.  The whole drive there, I felt like I was on the verge of a panic and had to repeatedly calm myself.  I had never felt anything like that before and didn’t understand what was happening.

At some point, someone turned on the television.  The news came on with pictures of the devastation caused by the tsunami.  Until then, I had no idea what had happened.  Scene after scene of the devastation hit me like nothing I could possibly explain.  I saw the hotel with the tall white pillars, the beach and palm trees and so many victims.  Seeing the people that were in my dream, now lifeless.  Children.  It was too much.  Even now, I can barely type this.  It’s still so horrible.  I felt their fear.  I didn’t understand it all then, but what I had felt earlier was my connection the higher realms.  I believe I felt God’s sadness, Heaven’s reaction to what happened. I could never believe, even for one second, that our Creator – the energies that love us so unconditionally – would ever cause such horrific events or punish us in such a way.

My first experience with these events being termed “God’s Vengeance” came about with Katrina hitting New Orleans.  Shortly after that happened, I attended a wedding where I met one of the most ignorant people I have ever met.  Yes, you read that right.  I’m still human, and I get angry.  The man my husband I were sitting next to started talking about the hurricane and how those people deserved to die.  According to this man, New Orleans was being punished for its sins … psychics in particular.  Well, as you can imagine, I didn’t take this very well.  Normally, I tend to be an understanding person, respectful of each individual for where they are in their personal growth and their own spiritual journey.  But, in this case, I wanted to slap this man.  I know I shouldn’t have felt that way, and I’m ashamed to admit it, but I couldn’t believe someone could think such a thing, much less say it out loud to a stranger.  He was such a hateful person.  I didn’t cause any harm to him, but I did leave him standing there looking like the ignorant fool he was – again, I acknowledge my human emotions here.  I was sick, and we left shortly thereafter.

I have been steadily praying for all those touched by the horrific events caused by the changes to our environment and how our planet is reacting to these changes.  These changes will affect us all, and we should – as human beings – feel connected and empathic toward those experiencing the worst of it.  From the floods in Australia to the recently devastated Japan, these are our people!  They are all human beings and connected to us all!

How do I know God isn’t punishing these people?  Because I felt what Heaven felt with the destruction caused by the Indian Ocean and because I still feel the great sadness that reaches across the ocean now.  I know people have all kinds of Bible verses and messages from other religious books backing up their opinions on what they feel is “God’s wrath”, but I will never believe it.  Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs, and I do not intend to offend anyone for their personal beliefs and do respect everyone on their own personal journey.  However, with respect to this question, I’m giving my answer.

I have never once experienced the hatefulness of such human comments from the spirit world.  The energy I feel from the Divine has always come from a place of love and compassion.  Our creator – God, the Goddess, Allah, however you prefer – has never given me any reason to believe such things would be caused by Divine influence.

Christina, you should be commended on seeing through what other people see and thinking for yourself.  Religion can be a very good thing, but we have to remember that it’s also made up of people, and people are not infallable.  People are afraid of what might happen to them, so they make up reasons of why these tragedies happened elsewhere.  “Those people deserved it, but that will never happen here.”  Fear breeds ignorance, and ignorance breeds more fear.

Instead of giving in to ignorance, fear and even the anger that I still obviously struggle with, we should be focusing on love and compassion and what we can do to help heal our world.  Send love and compassion to those affected.  Give financially, if you can.  Pray for them.  Meditate and ask Heaven to send angels in for aid.

Lately, I’ve been doing my Chakra Healing with the Angels Meditation more because of the end section where the energy you work with in the meditation is sent out through the world and our universe.  I use this meditation to help me channel Divine healing energy out to those places needing extra help right now.  I encourage anyone reading this to do the same or at least send out some positive thoughts to our brothers and sisters across the world.  Light a candle for those who have been lost and those that remain behind.  Use the flickering of your single flame to add to the others sending out their own love and prayers.  Whether you are in Europe, Australia, Japan, the United States or Timbuktu, we are all the same people.  We are one!

In my recent post regarding teen suicides in my area, I talked about Light and Darkness.  I believe we all have Light and Darkness within us, but we choose what side to take.  We choose who we are.  Will we give in to Darkness with our ignorance and hate, or will be embrace the Light with love and compassion?  We all have that choice.  That is what God gives us … choice — free will.  We have the choice to create our own destruction, or we can create a world where one people stand together.

In Light and Love,

Sheri

1. Update on “God’s Vengeance”
2. Ask Sheri – Don’t Look, Just Live
3. Defining Moments

It is with a heavy heart I write today.  I didn’t know why I’d been thinking about my own past so much recently and why the topic of teen suicide had been entering my mind.  Suicide is something that breaks my heart in a way that I cannot even explain.  I actually wrote a short story on the topic a few months back when Ellen was talking about such tragic loss of life.  Maybe I’ll share that sometime.

Late last night, with the sick feeling of tragedy seeping into my soul, I read what I already knew.  Someone else had given up.  Someone else decided to leave this Earth, thinking it would be easier to leave this place, but it never is easier.  Let me tell you.  This is something I know.  I know both sides.

Once up on a time, I was a teenage girl.  I was a girl who wanted to give up on everything that hurt so badly.  I was good at handling physical pain; I knew what that felt like.  It was all too familiar.  It was the emotional pain I couldn’t handle.  It hurt so badly knowing that those who should love me didn’t.  They hated me with every word, every touch.  I could feel only a desire that I never existed, and that desire became my own.  I tried to end my own life.

This is something that not many people know about me, not even my family.  There was a Divine intervention that I couldn’t even begin to understand at that time.  Someone stopped me from making such a heartbreaking mistake.  As something that’s so new to me to share, I don’t really know how to explain what happened.  I only know that I was given a choice, and I chose Light.  Darkness tried to take me, but I fought back.

Darkness excels at slithering it’s way into our lives, especially with gifted young.  Its desire is to destroy that which could oppose it.  Destroying the Light within a soul feeds it.

I know some may be surprised I would talk about such things, but not talking about it isn’t going to help anyone.  Our souls carry both Light and Darkness, and it is within each of us that eternal battle wages.  Some say one cannot exist without the other, and maybe they are right.  Darkness seeks to destroy Light, but in doing so only destroys itself.  Light is better recognized by those who have fought their Darkness and come out the other side.  Maybe we have a few scars, but they are reminders of what could have been and the free will that set us free.

Suicide is Darkness unveiled.  That’s when it stops hiding inside a person and takes action.  It creates helplessness and despair at such a level that a person can no longer see Light.

But, when that soul leaves its body, it doesn’t find the peace Darkness promised.  There is overwhelming regret.  I have never once encountered a soul who didn’t regret taking their own life.  The ones who could actually talk with me expressed only the deepest regrets and a sadness I could hardly bear.  Sure, their souls eventually being to heal, but it is always so much more than what they were going through here.  Many times, they express wishing they had known the truth instead of the illusions Darkness set before them.  When a soul chooses death, they choose to turn their back on Light.  Though that Light will never turn its back on them, it tends to be difficult for the lost soul to understand such love and forgiveness when all they have allowed themselves to feel has been darkness and despair.

Suicide is NEVER the answer!  While I can’t describe exactly what saved me, I can tell you that I chose Light.  I chose Love.  I saw the truth of my situation.  I felt despair, heartache and a pain that I would have given anything to end, but I knew leaving this Earth would mean leaving behind any chance I would ever have at happiness – at Love.  There were those who loved me, and I saw what my decision would do to them.  I realized my actions would be selfish and weak, and I had never been either of those things.  It might not sound like much the way I’m explaining it, but it was my lifeline.  I then began to see little bits and pieces of Light that had been watching over me, pieces I had never noticed before.  There were people who loved me, though they were sometimes too busy with their own lives to really see what was happening in mine. When I couldn’t see that I was worth my next breath, there were those that made my heart believe that I might one day be worth something to someone.  Things didn’t change over night.  I still felt pain, despair, anger and so much more, but I also had hope.  Hope was the lifeline I never let go of; the one that can save a soul from any darkness.

If you are considering leaving this world might be an easier alternative to living, please try harder to look beyond the darkness.  Releasing yourself from this life isn’t the answer you might think it to be, and it will greatly affect your soul in a very bad way for a very long time.  Giving up means a life unanswered.  It is a waste of yourself and your journey.  You will be angry with yourself.  If you allow yourself be overcome and fooled by the illusion set before you, there will be great regret.  I almost did it myself, so I know how alluring that false sense of peace can be.  It feels so easy and natural to think things have just gone horribly wrong, and you need to simply start over.  But, it doesn’t work that way.  You chose this life, just like I chose mine.  I know certain things didn’t have to be quite as bad as they were.  Things were made worse by the free will of those that should have loved me, but not giving up made me stronger, and I have no regrets.  I was meant to be born, and I was meant to live.  YOU are meant to live!  Embrace your truth and the Light within yourself, and fight back.  Be strong, and do not give up on yourself or what you came here to do.  You may not even know why you’re here yet, but leaving means you’ll never know.

I ask for prayers for the souls who have been lost and peace for those left behind.  There is nothing more tragic than a life left unanswered, and now there are two more.  I pray that Archangel Michael finds these confused souls and helps them to see Love.  Please, Michael, I know you can’t interfere with free will.  I know it’s ultimately their choice whether they go with you or stay in pain and regret, but I ask that you go to them.  With my prayers, those of their families, friends, loved ones and of those reading these words, it is my hope that the power of our prayers and your strength will help them choose right this time.  Hope is a powerful weapon, and it’s one you wield well.

May my prayers find their resting place in the hearts of those who need them,

Sheri
