Thoughts from Suzane

Fall is here - and "Happy New Year" to those who celebrate Rosh Hashanah! We entered the Vernal Equinox on Sept 21st. Yes, summer is ending all too soon, but for many of us this means that we now get to experience the wonderful blessings of fall, the foliage, and all of those incredible colors.

I recently had John Perkins on my radio show. He's quite an amazing man who has traveled all over the world. One of the things he shared on the show was that in shamanism, all acts are for the good of the world. And everything we do for one another has a ricochet effect. I have always known this with my work but it was very enlightening to have that perception validated through the shamanic perspective, especially since shamanism is a spiritual practice followed independently by many cultures around the world.

An approach, I might add, that is so important in the world we live in today. With this thought it came to me that there are so many ways you can make a difference in the world, by making a difference in someone's life. Sometimes just being there to lend a hand is all it takes.

I would like to share with you what I believe to be just that, a remarkable story of how one town and its people who chipped in to make a difference in one woman's life. This story was related to me by my friend Vicky.

The town is near Killington in a small village in northern Vermont, a place where it gets VERY cold. Outside of the town and alone way up in the mountains lives Mary Jo. She is a divorced woman and was working Saturdays at the post office to earn extra money, when she learned that she had pancreatic cancer. Soon after getting that terrible news back in February, she was driving to the post office when her car hit a black ice patch and she went over the edge of the cliff, landing one hundred feet below.

"Coincidentally" . . . and we know how that is . . . the snow plow had just passed by and the driver noticed on the way back that Mary Jo's car had gone over the edge. He called EMS and they came immediately and found Mary Jo trapped inside the car. She had to be pulled out with the jaws of life. (Ironically, they mentioned later that had Mary Jo had not worn her seat belt, and had she worn it, she would have died instantly!)

Mary Jo was air lifted, unconscious, to the nearest city fifty miles away. Of course by then the whole town knew about Mary Jo and guess what? Within hours they had rallied together to find out what they could do to help her. They learned that she had her leg broken in several places, broke her left hand and several ribs, and almost lost her left eye. She also had no memory of going over the cliff.

The townspeople visited Mary Jo in the hospital and discovered that in addition to the accident injuries, Mary Jo was suffering with pancreatic cancer. They learned, too, that Mary Jo was living off credit cards to pay for food and groceries. Her social security checks just barely paid for her mortgage which is why the post office job was so important.

So the townspeople decided to really go to work. They formed a foundation where everyone could contribute. There were quilt raffles, fundraisers, and brainstorming on how to get Mary Jo's house in shape for when she would return home.

Everyone in the town did something, even those who only knew Mary Jo from the post office. They all remarked how she always had a smile, knew all the kids by name, and was there to lend an ear when one was needed.

When visiting Mary Jo's house, the people saw how the melted snow had flooded the basement, so they took care of that, cleaned the entire house, rebuilt the deck, and had a tag sale. With the money raised, the townsfolk paid the bills so when Mary Jo got out of the hospital, she would have a place to come home to.

For a woman who had no blood family in town, Mary Jo was very well taken care of. In the process, many lives were touched. People who had stopped talking to each other found themselves forgetting their differences and getting reconnected. Caring for Mary Jo brought the town together.

Also amazing is that had it not been for the "accident," the townspeople would not have found out about Mary Jo's cancer. Knowing Mary Jo, she would have gone through this event very alone with only a few friends knowing.

Just a side note . . . a few days after the accident when Mary Jo was in and out of consciousness, she had a visit with one of the townspeople whose husband had died of pancreatic cancer. It was his son who was one of the EMS guys who got her out of her car using the jaws of life.

And here is a postscript. Mary Jo is out of the hospital now and has had the cancer surgery. She talks about the miracle of receiving so much love as she continues to heal. The town is still taking care of her. They have raised enough money so she'll be okay until next spring when everyone prays that the cancer will be gone.

On that note, know that no matter what season it is, we can all make a difference. When considering how, be creative about it. Color your thoughts just like all the different hues we so enjoy with the coming of fall. Sometimes just being there to lend a helping hand in some small way is all it takes.

Warmly,
Suzane

Because You Asked

The first question in this newsletter was sent to me by Linda A.:

Hi Suzane,

My name is Linda and I have written to you before and just wanted to say thank you for your response back. It was very helpful. I am also looking forward to seeing you when you come to Massachusetts.

I have a question about having the same dreams. Before my son's passing, I used to dream about the ocean and my son would be standing in the middle of the ocean. He passed when he was 25 but in my dream he is about five years old. The water would be very dark and cold looking. He wouldn't be drownining, but I couldn't get to him and I would wake up scared. It went on for a long time. Later, he passed. Now I have dreams of the ocean but the water is very calm and very clear. The sun is shining so bright I can feel the warmth of it while I'm sleeping. I'm looking down and there are people walking along the shore and they are all happy. I don't know these people. Sometimes while I am awake I can smell and hear sounds of the ocean. What does it mean?

Thank you,
Linda

Linda:
You are very welcome and I hope to be in Massachusetts in November or December. Keep posted on my website.

I think to be honest from here, the dream looks pretty straight forward. Your boy is telling you that all is calm and clear where he is now, and the sun is shining. He obviously is not alone and seems to have many people to walk that beach with. He wants you to know all this so of course, as his mother, you don't have to worry.

Blessings to you,
Suzane

This second question was sent to me by Richard:

Suzane,

I'm a proud father of two beautiful little girls and husband of almost five years to "Ann". In recent months, I have recognized an extremely strong, spiritual connection with Allie, a close friend of mine of about one year. First off, we are co-workers. Secondly, I am 16 years older than her. And third, we are dealing with similar struggles in our personal lives. I believe that it is our spiritual synchronicity that has brought us together and we have now recognized a unique love between one another. We are seemingly able to read one another's thoughts and finish each other's sentences at any given moment. We also share the ability to "feel" one another, and when we are apart we miss each other. We have both read Everything Happens For A Reason and it makes sense. However, our relationship is starting to complicate our personal lives. I want to make it very clear, we have not engaged in sexual congress of any kind. We do however share this feeling that we are meant to be together some point in this life. But the thought of losing my children keeps us at bay. Based on this information, I was wondering if you could offer me some personal insight with regards to our spiritual connection. Also, the number 414 haunts me regularly and I don't know if someone from the Other Side is trying to offer help or not.

Thank you for your help.
Richard

Richard:

A spiritual connection between two people is truly a personal issue, as I'm sure you already know and feel. When we experience something of this nature, it is often a soul connection, possibly from another time. A "unique love" now can be a carryover from a previous life. As I have said many times, love never dies. You may have re-connected at this time to share in many of the spiritual thoughts and ideas you are both feeling, but can't share as well with others. Sometimes when a spiritual connection is made between two people, it seems like you are meant to be together in every conceivable way. However, this may not always be the case. You can continue to experience a spiritual closeness with a friend who understands the metaphysical aspect of you more than anyone else, and not have it jeopardize other relationships, e.g., with children and a spouse. How you choose to handle your particular situation is, as you recognize, a most important decision, especially since there are children involved. I would suggest that you continue to explore your sharing with Allie if you can do so without having that affect what is so important to you. As an aside, and just so you know, even when I receive messages from the spirit world to convey to others, it is still totally my responsibility in how I relay that information, and I must do so in the way the messages are given to me.

All that being said . . . with regard to your 414, please read my update from last week which contains a discussion of numbers. As a general rule, you will be the only one who will be able to say what the meaning of the 414 is. But I might suggest that when your number hits, notice what it is you are thinking about and doing. That could provide a clue. Also, feel how things resonate. Perhaps then you will be able to tell whether or not you are receiving messages from a DP, and what those messages might mean. Keep in mind, however, that even if there are messages being sent to you, and connections made, you still are and will continue to be responsible for any actions you take with regard to how you act on those messages.

My thoughts of strength go out to you, and I hope you will continue staying in your center as you walk your journey.

All the best,
Suzane

This final question was asked by Linda G.:

Hi Suzane!

My father passed 12/99 and my mother on Thanksgiving (11/25/04) at my home. I was very close to my dad. And I was the main caretaker for mom during her long illnesses. During her last year when her health was deteriorating, I would go home and cry in bed. Frequently, after I was composed, I would feel someone or some thing sit down on the covers against my lower legs and feet. No one was there nor did I see any indentation. But also frequently, I would feel this sensation work its way up against my legs to just below the hips. I found this comforting but also puzzling. After mom passed, this stopped until recently. I was feeling down when I went to bed one night and asked out loud for either of my parents to come and sit by me, telling them I needed some comforting. A couple of nights later, I experienced the covers pulling tight again but it was a lighter touch or pressure and it stayed by my lower legs/feet area. This has not happened since. Am I crazy? Am I just wishing this for myself? If it i a visitation, how do you know who or what it is? It's very easy to assume that my father was sitting with me while mom was so ill, but how do you explain the second episode and lighter pressure? I did lose a daughter shortly after birth 31 yrs ago and mom saw a young girl in my doorway a few days before she passed. Could this have been my daughter waiting for my mom and sitting with me? I've seen you in PA and read your responses faithfully.

Thank you,
Linda

Linda,
NO! Of course I don't think you are crazy . . . so let's get that out of the way immediately. As I stated in a recent newsletter, we don't always know who the DP's visiting us are unless there is clear validating information. Now in saying that, let's review the situation. You received a visitation while your mom was sick that you felt was your father. After your mom passed, you asked out loud for either of your parents to come and sit by you, and Bingo! There it was. Wonderful! Since the experience after your mother died was similar, it could very well have been your father again. Similar methods of contact are just one of the ways we can tell who it is that might possibly be visiting us. However, in this instance you say that you experienced the covers pulling tight again but it was "a lighter touch or pressure and it stayed by my lower legs/feet area." So, there was a difference! Let me ask YOU, what was your first impression when you felt the light touch? Often, first impressions are the best indicators of what is really happening. Perhaps the lighter touch was an indication that it was your mother. Then again, in your letter to me, after you focus on the lighter pressure you immediately note that you did lose a daughter shortly after birth 31 years ago, and also ask, could it have been her? Of course it could have been. Especially since we know that she has visited before - when your mom saw a young girl in your doorway a few days before she passed. I believe that it was your daughter in the doorway then and I bet your mom was thrilled to have that wonderful visit prior to her transition. And I believe that your daughter was there again to greet your mom during your mom's actual transition. But as to who it was that came when you asked for and received a communication, it seems that there are at least three possibilities: your dad, your mom, or your daughter. Since I'm sure you realize that the visit was rooted in concern and love, that is the main thing. As noted earlier, sometimes we are just not sure who the visiting DP's are.

I know all of this requires lots of faith. Just remember that it is faith and not craziness that is actually involved.

Many blessings to you,
Suzane

On a Personal Note

This poem and story came across my email, from a woman in Canada named Juliette:

THE DRAGONFLY

Under the lily pads in the muddy water of a pond, there lived a colony of water bugs. They lived a comfortable life in the pond, but once in a while, sadness would come to the colony when one of the water bugs would climb a lily stem and disappear.

Then, one day, one little water bug felt an irresistible urge to climb up that stem. However, she was determined she would come back and tell her friends what she had found at the top. When she reached it and climbed out of the water onto the surface of the lily pad, she was so tired and the sun felt so warm, that she decided she must take a nap.

As she slept, her body changed into a beautiful dragonfly. She spread her wings and flew! And, as she soared, she saw the beauty of a whole new world she had never known existed. Then she remembered her friends. She wanted to go back to tell them that she was now more alive than she had ever been before. But, her new body could not go down into the water. She could not get back to tell her friends the good news.

Then she understood that their time would come when they, too, would join her in the sunshine. So she spread her wings and flew off into her joyous new life!

In the email thread, Juliette said, "I don't recall if I told you about the dragonflies that circled Marie's coffin during the short ceremony of internment (Normandeau Cemetery). About two dozen dragonflies suddenly appeared out of nowhere and circled directly over her coffin for about one minute before all flying away. A friend of mine sent me the attached story of the dragonfly. I thought that it was so à propos and would like to share it with you . . . Marie was so determined to send us a 'sign' that all was well. I really think that that was 'the sign'." I also believe that was quite the sign!
