Happy Tuesday -- Christy, 16:27:17 01/30/01 Tue [1]
Hey everybody,
Rachel..girlfriend, are you busy or what? Congratulations on taking steps to change your life. You are on the right path.
Mae..I, too, found it difficult to find empathy with others.
The lesson I found in Debbie's book, is that my own judgement of others keeps me stuck. Also, I have many of the qualities that I judge in others. I could never relate or empathize with a rapist, but what I do is pray for their souls, and the souls of their victims and victims' families.
I found under my judgement of my mother was my fear that I would become her. Also, I have some of her qualities that I hate, but I work hard at identifying them and letting them go. My mother's role is to be a victim in her children's lives so we will rescue her. I have to look at my relationship with my daughter to see how I might be playing on her sympathy to get attention or emotional rescue.
So far, no news about my book. It is hard waiting, but I know the best thing for me is to release it to my Higher Power whom I like to call Big Boy. It's all good.
Chrissie..How is your precious Indi? I hope he is feeling better.
Rosie..I keep missing you in the chat room.
Hey to Rose, Kelly, Brenna, Joe, Jen, Laurie, CarolB, and anyone else that I missed.
I hope everyone has a great day.
Love,
Christy

A Weekend Hi There! -- Mae, 19:19:33 01/27/01 Sat [1]
Rachel--- Your comment re not having time for housework made me laugh. Good for you... It sounds as if you are indeed creating a rich, full life.
Christy---Question re Debbie Ford's bk., DARK SIDE OF LIGHT CHASERS: I haven't read much of it, but what strikes me is that it seems to be giving excuses for bad behavior (e.g. if you had his childhood you might become a rapist, too----yet not all who have such childhoods go on to become rapists!). What am I not getting??? Your insight shall be most appreciated.
Chrissie---Thanks for prayers for Mary & her loved ones.
Lots of healing energy & love to purrfect, precious Indi...
With Love 'n Light,
Mae

Creating a rich life -- Rachel, 14:40:05 01/27/01 Sat [1]
Hi to everyone at Lighting The Path!
I hope you are all having a good weekend.
Chrissie...I hope Indi is doing OK and that you have enjoyed your Hoffmann weekend.
Christy...hope you are fully recovered from your cold etc.
Mae....keep going with that forgiveness..it's worth all the effort.
I came to this Path via Susan Jeffer's site and have spent a lot of time over the last couple of years thinking about her Grid of Life...how you can create a life which is rich and full,so that if you have a problem in one area, you have other parts of your life which still nurture and support you. I had a breakthrough this week and i am now a volunteer administrator for a cancer charity and a part time student. I've signed up for the European Computer Driving Licence course since my lack of basic skills is holding me back. I'm getting fitter ( aquafit, gym sessions and Tai Chi). The best part?? I'll be far to busy for housework!!!!
Hugs to you all
Rachel

You and everything, Everywhere. -- Susie Lee, 17:14:25 01/26/01 Fri [1]
(Still wondering what's it all about? It's about Everything, Everywhere!!! And, for the might-be-self-doubters, HERE's what I say!)....
Alright, now, once more, with mustard,ketchup,mayyonnaise and assorted further condiments...
God and Goddess is part of each of OUR (your and my) Energy. We are Energy, and intra-connected.
Those psychics among us who've removed their personal blinders can see this and it's the "why" of why the more source-REconnected a psychic is, the more they seem to "Know" about others...a simple recognition of that intra-connected-ness is what's being done. Everyone has this capability and ability.
Angels are Energy-Sentients who are attendant on the God and Goddess... Many of which are (guess WHO!) !US!. Each of you, and I, also, harbour God and Goddess.
Each has at least one attendant angel-energy-entity who is incapable of leaving. As we re-attain Source, we tend to attract more than several more of the angel energy-entities to us ...ready to carry out OUR "GOD/DESS-GIVEN" ORDERS.
We speak or strongly-conceptualize our will-to-be-done, and as SOON as we release that "order" of WILL-ing, who do you think takes those orders and carries them out?...YOUR angels...FOLLOWING ***YOUR*** orders, or Will!
* Energy may only change, it cannot negate.
* What is Energy, therefore, cannot "die", only change form.
* Therefore the Essential YOU cannot die. and neither can your angels
* I have spoken!
:)
(NnnYYAAAHHH! :)
Okay, you can quote me! <-there's written permission, even!

Hi Tony,
I remember you (smiles). We had corresponded some two years or so ago when I had ended my last relationship and I was in dire need of guidance etc; and I found your site. I'm glad you posted your new site here as I had lost track of it in my many bookmarks. I'll include it at the top of this page with my favourite links as I said then, it's a great site! My email address then was and still is cclout2579@aol.com.
Mae, though I didn't get a chance to post earlier this week, I had been sending love and light to your friend who had recently made the transition, her family and yourself. It's been a really hectic week for me and I like to post properly instead of snippets at times; though felt the need to share Tami Sue's post as I needed to hear it.
Jennifer, we'll be thinking of you. I was hoping Tami Sue's message would reach out to you as well. Sending you lots of love and light wherever it is you decide to go and be etc.
Christy, glad to hear all is well with you and you're recovering. How is your relationship with your mother and sister like now? I managed to finally write to Oprah last week - just a short email. If her marketing people feel it appropriate I'm sure they'll take the necessary steps and contact Hoffman directly; though I did mention I knew you so they may want you to go back on the show and perhaps do the Hoffman(?) (grins). Who knows! Anything goes! I think it would make a great storyline .... and surprised Oprah hasn't heard of the Hoffman Process before.
I have to rush as I'm off tomorrow for a top up Hoffman Tools Weekend at Seaford and need to pack some things and get Indi's food ready for the weekend. He's having his fourth chemotherapy session tomorrow. This week Indi did good and he hasn't reacted too badly to the latest chemo though has been vomiting yellow fluids in dribs and drabs. It must be the chemo cos he's eating only pure turkey which isn't yellow. Indi is running around again and lively and playful again and I'm so pleased. Thx all again for your love and support towards Indi. He sends his purrs, meows and kittie hugs (smiles).
I decided to enrol myself on a Reiki Level I and II course for next month and I'm really excited. At last!
Love, Light & Blessings
Chrissie :)* ^i^

The Second Day of February is ... -- Susie Lee, 03:57:43 01/25/01 Thu [1]
Imbolc (or Imbolg) which is the mid-seasonal day between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox.
It is also Brigid's Day, or to call it by it's more
Christianized name St. Bridged's day or even more so
Candlemas. An old English name for the day was Wives's
Feast Day. This was the day of the Juno Februa
Festival in old Roman times. In Mexico it's Dia De La
Candelaria. In America it's Groundhogs Day. Though the
idea that February 2nd was a day for predicting the
weather comes before that.
"If Candlemas Day be fair and bright, Winter will have another flight; If on Candlemas Day be shower and rain. Winter is gone, and
will not come again."

Hi Christy, Jen, Chrissie, & All -- Mae, 01:18:12 01/25/01 Thu [1]
Thanks Christy & Jen for the prayers for Mary's family & friends.
Glad to hear that you're feeling better, Christy. Any news re your book?
Wishing you well whereever you may go, Jennifer... Hope to see you back one day.
I'm still working on forgiveness and I wish that I could say it was enjoyable, but alas, I cannot. It's a royal pain in the rump!!! (Ha! HA!) I'm banking on the results being pleasant though.
Continued healing energy & love go out to Indi.
Much Love 'n Light to All,
Mae

Hey everybody,
Chrissie..Healing thoughts to Indi..My prayers go with you because I know how tough it is to watch a pet be so ill.
Mae..My prayers to the family and friends of your friend, Mary.
I've been off the web for some time with a terrible case of the flu. I am so grateful to be able to breathe comfortably again. I was completely unable to care for myself for days. Thank God, I'm over it.
Rachel..How's your daughter doing? My daughter turns 13 at the end of the week (Jan 26th). The time flies by so fast.
Jen..Take care of yourself.
Joe..Hope you are having a Happy New Year.
Hello to Laurie, Rose, Kelly, Rosie, CarolB, and anyone else that I might have missed.

Light Insight to feel higher during heavy times - Master Tami -- Chrissie :)*, 13:49:46 01/22/01 Mon [1]
Subj: Lightworkers - Light Insight to feel higher during heavy times
Date: Mon, 22 Jan 2001 07:04:27 Greenwich Mean Time
From: MasterTami@aol.com
To: lightworkers@egroups.com, mindrec@egroups.com
There has been a huge wave of heavy (negative) energy hitting us all and many are feeling so many icky feelings and not expressing their higher lighter self. Arguments, being stressed and overwhelmed, feeling blue, just not feeling ourselves at all lately. Don't beat yourself up! Don't take this heavy energy bringing us all down too personally and make yourself out to be bad, terrible and a failure to be Light! I was sent an email that described how this heavy energy is bringing this one person down. I then wrote back and gave an easy way to go higher.
<<< Tami, I have been feeling terrible--angry, shouting more, resentful. etc. more now than for a long time. Last night I went to bed crying...not my ideal expression of how I would like to be. Fears have surfaced about my own capabilities and security. >>>
(My reply)
This is something happening with all of us. My own home has got me seeing cross-eyed. The emotions, fears, anger, and all that stuff has been uncapped for so many...it is like a big cosmic fizzle. Please don't take this energy hitting us so personally lovey. Being uptight and feeling unable to get to a lighter way is there big time in all of us...not just you.
The same time you had things happen with you at home...I had a bomb go off of yukky feelings and crud from my son aimed at me, an email from a stranger, my daughter...and I felt like I was spinning downward. I reacted and got caught up in it for a bit....ugh! I felt the dip coming with this icky energy heading our way...but now that the dip of energy has come...feeling blue, sad, guilty, ashamed and even resentful is the norm for what is happening.
Just breathe in the light of what you want...
Take in a breath of silver if you want lighter thoughts...
Blue if you want calm peaceful energy to assist others with...
Green to heal and grow...
Breathe in Pink energy and let it fill you for love...
Purple to feel transformed and a major change...
Right now, take a moment to fill your body with the ribbon of light you need...
breathe it in and let it really touch your heart. It is there...go to it by tuning in
and letting it be the energy you let in to yourself so you can then express it.
Love to you,
Tami

Prayers -- Jennifer, 08:09:49 01/21/01 Sun [1]
Hello everyone.
MAE- I will keep your friend, her family and you in my prayers. I hope that your friend's transition takes her on to beautiful experiences becoming of a beautiful soul.
CHRISSIE- Rieki and continued healing prayers for you and Indi.
-----------------------------------------------------------
EVERYONE- Other than my holistic healing practices, I am going off the "path". I am a touch fed up truth be known. Seven years of affirmations, reading books, going through courses and stuff and I don't feel like things have changed that much for me. Plus I think of all the energy I have put into that stuff...perhaps I would have accomplished more harnessing the same energy and focusing it elsewhere. Anyway, I will pop in from time to time and I will keep those who request prayers and healings in my prayers and healing practices...but for now...I am on vacation from this stuff.
Be well all!
With love and respect
Jen

transition of a dear friend -- Mae, 02:03:19 01/21/01 Sun [1]
Early this rnorning my beloved friend, Mary made her transition. Fortunately, she had not been in pain lately and her transition was a gentle one which is what I had prayed for... Last year she had several hospitalizations and was in much pain; however, her terrific sense of humor, compassion, and genuineness always remained the same.
Her friendship was both an honor and blessing to me. Please send love and comfort to her many loved ones. Thanks ever so much.
Shall post more later when I'm feeling more up to it...
Continuing to hold precious Indi in the Light...
Love to All,
Mae

Chemotherapy -- Rachel, 16:24:17 01/19/01 Fri [1]
Hello to everyone at Lighting the Path!
I can't believe it's Friday again...where does the time go? I've had a great week and have found a Tai Chi class with a wonderful teacher. They do a different form here so I have a new challenge. I've been working very hard at 'daring to connect' with all the other Mums in the playground at Ellie's new school. I'm really shy so it doesn't come naturally but it has paid off and Ellie has a party invitation for Sunday and we are going for tea with another friend next week. I used to wait and wait for people to reach out to me and invite me to join in. I could never understand why they didn't and spent most of my adolescence and adult life feeling like a total outsider. Of course there had to be something wrong with me to explain this....blah...blah...blah. What a waste of a life!!!!!!!
Chrissie...having gone through chemo myself I send lots of empathy and gentle strokes to Indi. That he's feeling lousy does indicate that the chemo is having some effect. Someone said to me "If it's making you feel that bad think what it's doing to the cancer cells". It must be hard because Indi won't understand what's happening but I'm sure he knows you are taking the BEST care of him and surrounding him with love and healing thoughts.
I hope everyone has a good weekend..love to you all.

Catnip/Indi -- Chrissie :)*, 13:29:12 01/19/01 Fri [1]
Jennifer, I think our posts crossed paths :)* - thx for the suggestion of cat nip. I'll ask the vet re that. He did say he thinks that the chemo is getting to Indi now after that first week of energy. Indi is also getting a bit groucy and just ill - his eyes are less bright and he's looking more sleepy etc; and not eating as much. The vet told me not to worry too much and to bring him round tomorrow for his third chemo session and also a check up. I do think it's the chemo finally getting to Indi though I do worry especially when he starts vomiting his food up. Thx for the continued Reiki :)*
Love & Hugs

Weekly Sunday Morning Meditation -- Chrissie :)*, 13:24:55 01/19/01 Fri [1]
Dear all,
Carol mentioned in an earliest post a suggestion about getting together for a weekly group meditation. I thought it was a great idea though haven't had time to post further on it till now. I figured maybe a good way to do it is jointly with Orin and Daben ! Info as per below, including all the links necessary. If anyone has any other suggestions, I'd be happy to hear them....
Love, Light, Peace, Purpose and Passion,
Chrissie :)* & meows, purrs and kittie hugs from Indi :)* (ô/)
Weekly Sunday Morning Meditation
9:00 - 9:30 California time
Post your experiences online - join our Divine Will Forum
Join us on Sunday Mornings on the inner planes
for Orin's Divine Will Study Group
Go here for information and for a schedule
Sign our Guestbook and let us know you are joining us on Sunday mornings - either all the time or infrequently - so we can include you in our transmissions of light and energy.
Orin and DaBen, and Sanaya and Duane, Invite You to Join Us on Sunday mornings for a group meditation on the inner planes. You can also use this time to request and receive extra energy from Orin and DaBen. These are powerful times to experience the expanded states that are possible when a group meditates together. Play your tapes, meditate in silence, or run the energy if you are a light body student. With everyone meditating together, there is more power to create changes, to draw in light, and to receive energy from the Beings of Light.
DaBen will be transmitting light to awaken your light body from 9:00 to 9:15 AM Sunday mornings, San Francisco (California or Pacific Standard Time) time. DaBen will call upon many high beings and transmit individually to any of you who join us at this time who are open and wish to receive his transmission. You can read more about the light body here.
Orin will be transmitting light from 9:15 to 9:30 AM, right after DaBen on Sunday mornings. Orin will transmit the energies of Divine Will to you. Many are joining together during this time to work with Orin's Millennium tape course: Transforming with Divine Will. Go here for a schedule of what qualities of Divine Will we will studying each week. We also have a forum where you can share your experiences with Divine Will with each other.
We finish all meditations by combining our group light and sending out the light we have gathered to humanity and to all life.
If you cannot make these times, meditate at 9:00 to 9:30 your time or at any time that works for you.

Catching up -- Jennifer, 13:16:36 01/19/01 Fri [1]
Hello to everyone!
CHRISSIE~ The prayers and Rieki for Indi continue. If Indi routinely vomits with chemotherapy...check with the vet but I think there are a few drugs that cats can take to help with it. Gravol and Reglan both are pretty good. If you don't want to go that route...can you get your hands on a fresh catnip plant? Catnip is a great pain killer and it does help stimulate the kitty's appetite. Just feed him a leaf a day or let him smear the leaf with his face...still works if he does that. I know when Nicholas and Anastasia were vomitting allot with their illness the catnip helped get them over the worst until the drugs kicked. Later I was able to wean the meds as the illness subsided. But fresh catnip is best. Good luck!
RACHEL~ Thank you for your post and support. I think sometimes one needs to just come right out and say what they feel and what is on their mind. It took me a long time to learn to...but it meant allot to my growth to start. I have lost some friends along the way because I have been blatently honest...but I guess the true friends stick by no matter what. I mean...I even tried being tactful and still couldn't get my point across...so what can you do? Tough lesson to learn. Anyway...thanks again! :o)
JOE~ So...my sarcasm is evident? Heehee! Glad to hear it! I think Shakespeare once said that sarcasm was the lowest form of wit but the highest form of intelligence. I would rather be smart than funny...but if I can pull off both...what the hell! Anyway...take care you! :o)
Namaste

Help your own Guardian Angels to help You! -- Susie Lee, 17:45:17 01/18/01 Thu [1]
I've always seen angels as bright gold-white Energy with a kind of double-corona of
clearer-white-gold energy around them ( which is their own aura, and I can see how that could
be seen as "wings" by so many people! :) .
Here are three books which we have and can recommend for helping to bring clearer
communication between yourself and your own angels.
"I Talk To My Angel" by D.B.Crawford, Pub. by Ross & Jones Publishers, 1996
"Ask Your Angels" by Alma Daniel, Timothy Wyllie, and Andrew Ramer, Pub. by Ballantine
Books, 1992
"Healing With The Angels" by Doreen Virtue, Ph.D., Pub. by Hay House, 1999

Living with Joy - Sonaya and Orin -- Chrissie :)*, 13:46:19 01/18/01 Thu [1]
Living With Joy
Sonaya and Orin
Think now of people you know who have changed your life. In knowing them you felt inspired and expanded. Think of how they used their influence. It is important to recognize people who are full of light, for they come in many forms and packages. And it is time to be aware of those people who are not leading you to a path of greater light and joy. If you can clearly identify those people who have your greatest good in mind, and surround yourself with them, you will grow more rapidly and have much more to offer others.
<><><><><>
The relationships you have with others can only be as good as the relationships they have with themselves. If they do not know how to love themselves, that sets a limit as to how much they can love you. No matter how hard you try, how many nice things you do, they cannot give you the love you seek. You are the only one who can give yourself the love you seek.
<><><><><>
Often you create problems to originate new forms of behavior and to evolve parts of yourself. You can do that without creating crisis, by paying attention to the whispers of your mind and by spending time imagining yourself in the future. You can draw to you new images of who you want to be, but you will also want to be willing to release the situations and things in your life that do not fit those images.
<><><><><>
Honor every single setback, every single challenge or difficulty, for it strengthens your purpose. It gives you opportunities to be even more committed to your vision and even clearer on your intent. If life were too easy or simple, most of you would be complaining of boredom. Honor your challenges, for those spaces that you label as dark are actually there to bring you more light, to strengthen you, to firm your resolve, and to bring out the best in you.
<><><><><>
If you have created a job, a relationship, or anything that is not bringing you joy, look inward and ask why you feel you must be in a relationship with anything or anyone that does not bring you joy. Often it is because you do not believe you deserve to have what you want. Learn to believe you can have what you want.
<><><><><>
It is not enough just to give and radiate love; loving the self comes from receiving love also. You do everyone great service by being willing to receive their love. One of the greatest gifts you can give others is opening to their love for you.
<><><><><>
When someone does something you do not like, open your heart before you speak. If you choose to make a statement, offer it as something you feel rather than something someone did. You can say, "I feel hurt," rather than "YOU hurt me." A powerful way to state it is, "I am CHOOSING to feel hurt." Every feeling you have you have chosen.
<><><><><>
Being committed to the idea of love will bring it to you. You do not need to get into that personality level where you say, "Will this situation last, will it work?" Instead ask right now, "How can I deepen the love that I have in this relationship?" Love operates in the present, and by focusing upon it in the present, you send it into the future and release it to the past.
<><><><><>
Now that you have reached a new level of being, you may be tempted to look back at the past with regret. You may think of many higher, more loving ways you could have handled some things. Yet those very incidents provided you with the growth that allows you now to see a better way of behaving. Love and forgive your past self.
<><><><><>
Many of you are too humble, still wearing the cloak of self-doubt, of wondering who you are. You who are so kind and loving are full of light; you have so much to offer the world. It is important for you to take off your veil, for it hinders you in serving on a larger scale. When you pay attention to your doubts and fears, to that little voice saying, "You're not good enough," you are simply giving heed to your lower self. You have the ability to change your focus and to hear a loving, supportive, and positive inner voice.
<><><><><>
If you are facing decisions or troubles, imagine yourself five years from now looking back at today. Link with your future self, for from that perspective it would be much simpler to know what to do today. Imagine you are that future self and talk to your self of today from that future perspective, telling yourself why you are going through what you are experiencing. Your future self can talk to you and help you know what to do right now, how to get where you want to go even more quickly.
<><><><><>
Balance is about moderation. Maintaining balance means doing the right amount of each thing. Some of you think that things would be better if you only had more time off. Yet, when people retire they find that there is such a thing as too much time off. There is a balance between work and play, sleep and wakefulness, time together and time apart that will create the most peace and joy for you. It is not eliminating opposites that brings balance. Balance comes from doing things in moderation, stopping when the energy is gone and riding the waves as they come in.

The New Year
Make New Year's goals. Dig within, and discover what you would like to happen in your life this year. This helps you do your part. It is an affirmation that you're interested in fully living life in the year to come.
Goals give us direction. They put a powerful force into play on a universal, conscious and subconscious level.
Goals give our life direction.
What would you like to have happen in your life this year? What would you like to do, to accomplish? What good would you like to attract into your life? What particular areas of growth would you like to have happen to you? What blocks or character defects, would you like to have removed?
What would you like to attain? Little things and big things? Where would you like to go? What would you like to have happen in friendship and love? What would you like to have happen in your family life?
Remember, we aren't controlling others with our goals - we are trying to give direction to our life.
What problems would you like to see solved? What decisions would you like to make? What would you like to happen in your career?
What would you like to see happen inside and around you?
Write it down. Take a piece of paper, a few hours of your time, and write it all down - as an affirmation of you, your life, and your ability to choose. Then let it go.
Certainly, things happen that are out of our control. Sometimes, these events are pleasant surprises; sometimes they are one of another nature. But they are all part of the chapter that will be this year in our life and will lead us forward in the story.
The new year stands before us, like a chapter in a book, waiting to be written. We can help write that story by setting goals.
Today, I will remember that there is a powerful force motivated by writing down goals. I will do that now, for the year to come, and regularly as needed. I will do it not to control but to do my part in living my life.

Dear all at Lighting The Path :)*
Apologies I haven't been able to be around much lately - things have been exhausing with Indi's situation and also a few other things going on in my life. I now find that I am able to gain momentum again and resume some form of balance in my life; though it is dependant on how Indi is and I guess it will be like that for a few days/weeks/months until his condition improves; though the oncologist feels that it will probably take say 2-3 weeks or so to find out how his lymph nodes are responding to the chemotherapy. I'm aiming and hoping for an all out CURE for Indi (smiles). Yeah, go Indi GO! Thx again to everyone for all your support and love for Indi and myself ... with meows, purrrrrs and kittie hugs and snuggles from Indi :)*
Mae, thx for your well wishes for Indi and also for Mike's daughter, Laura. Mike said that Laura is feeling less nervous and able to concentrate more now and he's really grateful! Laura is taking more exams today :)* We're thinking of you Laura and sending you good vibes to relax, be calm and focus as you need to throughout the day.
Kelly - love the angel whispers :)*, Rose, good to hear from you again; Carol (hugs) thx for the emails sharing - I love you all. Everyone here is so committed to your own spiritual growth and it's just wonderful to share in your lives and Monique, awesome that you have noticed your own personal progress and it's so loving that you validate yourself for your progress. Way to go girl! Joe, off the top of my head I don't know any Church of Science places but I can find out at some stage ... will keep you posted; Jennifer, thx so much for the love and energy you have been sending Indi - it has meant so much and I am sending my own love and healing light towards your two brave cats who are doing so well with their loving mama! Susie, thx too for your kind email. Laurie, keep your light shining and burning for all to see!
My love and gratitude to you all,
Love, Light, Laughter, Peace, Purpose and Passion,
Chrissie :)* & Indi :)* (ô/)

Sending waves of confidence to Laura for her exams...
May she be free of pre-exam jitters & be able to think clearly and confidently.
May precious Indi regain appetite, strength, and activity. Visualizing Indi as vibrant, (soon to be) scampering around, always bringing joy to Chrissie & others.
Others who post here are in my thoughts and prayers, too.
With Love,
Mae

Dear all,
A friend from my Hoffman group has asked if anyone able and willing could send his ten and a half year old daughter, Laura, some love and light today and tomorrow for her 11 plus exams. Laura is very nervous and any thoughts of love and light to help her relax would be really appreciated :)* Thx from Mike in England!
Also I would really appreciate thoughts of healing light and energy for Indi who in the past couple of days has become less energetic and not eating as much and I'm getting worried, and hoping that the chemo is not getting to him. Love and healing light for Indi to overcome the sickeness of the chemo and to be healthy and whole and also for his lymph nodes to be back to normal, as they are swollen with the cancerous cells, would be really appreciated. Thx soo much.
From my heart to yours,
Love, Light, Gratitude and Hugs
Chrissie :)* and Indi :)* ^i^

SUPER SATURDAY TO ALL!!! -- Laurie, 17:04:51 01/13/01 Sat [1]
Hi everyone. Hope this message finds everybody in peaceful spirits. I am very at peace this day, having made a change in my life that I needed badly. Today I am reaping the benefits of that change and enjoying every second!! Here in upstate N.Y. it is bright and sunny out but of course cold. I may try and sneak in a little walk this afternoon just to be able to get a glimmer of the sun's rays. Brings me energy. Well, take care all of you and know that I appreciate all your thoughts and posts and do benefit from some of the readings. Walk a gentle path . . .

Great about Indi's progress -- CarolB, 14:26:08 01/13/01 Sat [1]
Hello and good morning to ALL on a foggy and cold Saturday morning. All is well in our corner of the world. (I believe that is a Louise Hay saying) **Smiles**
Chrissie, how wonderful that Indi's recuperation is so positive. We continue to keep you and Indi in our thoughts, prayers, and Reiki for him. I have empathized with you on this, as I know what it would be if the situation were mine. We get a special bonding with a pet and they become like a child, or grandchild...so special. Much love to you.
I have enjoyed reading the posts and have not had much time lately, but you all are in my thoughts and in my heart. I Love you ALL!
Carol

Hiya -- Joe, 11:35:14 01/13/01 Sat [1]
Hello allHope everyone is well this lovely, clear (but cold) London morning.
Chrissie, glad to hear that Indi is on the mend, continued prayers and well wishes for his continued recovery.
Jennifer, your sarcasm and dry wit come shining through your posts (ie. you don't seem cold and bitchy at all) that's what I love about them. British humour is quite different and more subtle (and although I appreciate it very much, sometimes the Canadians and Americans just 'really hit the mark' with their humour). Anyway keep those posts coming!!
Monique, ca va? So nice to see you here again and even happier to hear that you have finally found your niche in American life. (I know what it's like to move to a foreign country and not 'quite fit into things') It is a very long process. I had hoped to visit a Science of Mind church sometime, but unfortunately they all seem to be located in the US (perhaps there is one in the UK that I don't know about (any ideas Chrissie, Rachel, Loz??)
As for me, just working, working, and working. Darren and I have decided to spend the next five years saving as much as possible so that we can buy a villa in the South of Spain and take a very early retirement..sounds lovely, but there's a lot of work to do. We're both quite excited about the prospect and it looks like it could be a reality too. (Well, as all of us here know, anything is possible if we believe it can be so.
Well, I'm off to the museums this afternoon, it has been far too long since I've paid a visit. To all of you take care and lots of love, Joe

Hi all
I have been rushed off my feet this week with catching up on the backlog from last week from having to take Indi to the vets etc and haven't had much time to post though have been reading when I can. I also am on an egroup for those pet owners who have cats with lymphosarcoma and also my Hoffman Group and it's been hectic.
Tonite the oncologist called and confirmed that Indi does indeed have lymphosarcoma (ie feline cancer) and that we did the right thing to remove the main tumour last week and to start chemo. The good thing is that Indi has a healthy appetite and is really bouncy and alive whereas most cats on chemo are sick and have no appetite so I know that all the Reiki and loving energy being sent worldwide is doing him so much good - so thank you guys so much and I really would appreciate the loving energy coming over the next few days/weeks/months as Indi goes through his chemotherapy, which we will have a second session of tomorrow morning. It's a long drive across the M25 and A3 but it's worth it! Indi doesn't usually like car journeys let alone a long one but I'm hoping he'll be fine in both trips!
I'll keep you posted tomorrow and will send some more updates. I need to take care of me too and get some rest for the days ahead.
Mae, sending loving thoughts to Nikosi :)*
Love, Light & Blessings
Chrissie :)* ^i^
p/s Hi Rose, so good to see you back (hi everyone ((((hugs))))
pp/s Indi sends his meows, purrs, love and kittie hugs!

Positive -- Rose ;-), 18:45:45 01/12/01 Fri [1]
TODAY'S POSITIVE THOUGHT:
If you want to transform old thought patterns
be prepared with new thoughts to think.
TODAY'S POSITIVE AFFIRMATION:
Today, I easily and joyfully recognize any old
thought patterns and replace them with new and
limitless positive thoughts.
TODAY'S POSITIVE VISUALIZATION:
I imagine myself going through my day immediately
recognizing limited thoughts as they come into my mind.
I see myself easily remembering to replace these old
thoughts with the new ones I have chosen. I affirm that
these new thoughts will create the life I want to experience.
In my mind's eye I see myself experiencing the life I desire
to create, the life my new thoughts are designed to manifest.
I combine these thoughts and images with a feeling of joy
and let them go.

Hi to everyone at Lighting the Path,
Chrissie...how are you hon and how is Indy? I've been worried as you haven't been around much. Sending you love and light.
Rose...lovely to see you! I had no computer over Christmas and I was climbing the walls!! Your puppy sounds lovely.
Laurie...hugs to you hon. I hope the turmoil is subsiding.
Jen...just wanted to say i find your posts to be a breath of fresh air. It's great that you post from the heart and don't worry about what readers will think. I spend far to much time doing that! I tend not to post when I'm low or angry...just when i can "people please". Oh..these habits are so ingrained!
Love to you all and to ewveryone who posts and visits here.
Rachel
