Yes that sex offender can go to church and be around kids. Another case of a third party having inaccurate info, not knowing it, and trying to help. It’s not helping him, it’s hurting.

I spent the last year with someone whom the legal system labelled a sex offender (not a predator, big distinction.)  Having a legal background, I familiarized myself with the law and the terms of his probation so that I, as the driver, would not inadvertently put him at risk.  First thing he did was made sure we could attend church together, it was no problem.  I awoke today to several Facebook messages asking me why sex offenders aren’t allowed to go to church, two mentioning my ex.  We’ve gone our separate ways so I don’t know what’s going on with him, but he IS allowed to go to church or choice of worship. If, however, there is a particular location that violates other terms of his probation, such as being near a school or city park, that’s a condition that might prevent his attendance. But he is allowed to go to church and worship.  He is also allowed to be around children unless, however, it is near a school or city park or location otherwise forbidden by probation.  Again that would be merely a location issue, as he is NOT forbidden to be around children.

In the loving flow with everything around me, animate or inanimate

It used to feel odd to have big gushes of love flowing from me directed to no one in particular. I feel it for the lizard flirting with me on the window, for the tomatoes growing on the vine and for the feel of the mail in my hands as I take it from the box. Every movement a dance and caress. Ah, and now the jasmine is trying to get my attention, tempting me with her fragrance.  She plays hard to get all day yet, at nightfall, she opens wide and spills her scent for me.

My tenants left my rental home nicer than when they moved in – YAY to me for attracting them

My current tenants have moved out and I went by to check the home. It’s cleaner than I gave it to them and they spent thousands in improvements, painting, patio area, shutters, stepping stones, more. Plus they left an awesome weight bench, patio table and chairs I can use. I am humbled by their kind generosity and, best of all, new friends for life.  YAY to me for attracting them by always expecting the best and knowing the Universe loves to delight me with better than I ever dreamed possible.  I attracted that. Let me bask for a few minutes in how happy that makes me. That’s how more good things come to you, you know.  By spending time basking and appreciating what you’ve got.  Carry on.

Tarot Card of the Day: Knight of Swords

Your Card for today.  Meditate upon the meaning this card might have for you since it showed up at this exact moment. Not everyone saw this.  Not everyone attracted this message onto their monitor.  YOU DID. There are no mistakes.

MEANING:  Knights often mean that someone or something desirable is about to seek you out. The Knight of Swords also points to your physical, emotional, and spiritual energy being at a peak. If you’re waiting for news, you will like what you hear. The Knight of Swords can point to lots of activity, travel, being out and about, getting things accomplished. You are unlikely to feel like waiting for anything to come to you; that’s a good thing… go after your heart’s desire. Continue reading →

You Can Save Them With Your Love

Do you realize the power that you have when someone insults you or is unfair to you and you respond lovingly you will SHOCK them as they are not used to the type of response. You are showing them with your actions that there is another way to deal with issues. That SHOCK may cause them to go into their subconscious mind and figure out why they’re acting in this manner and heal their subconscious wounds. You’re giving them permission to forgive themselves and others. When someone is screaming or doing things that are inappropriate it’s obvious that they are not happy and that they are harboring pain from the past. Show compassion so your actions will transform to their truth which is love. We were born with love now we have to unlearn everything that society taught us until this very moment. It is not your job to change them. All you can do is be YOU. Don’t interfere or tell them what they are doing wrong. Quietly send them love and light and they will feel your energy. Your words, actions and energy must always be aligned in order to have the power to transform successfully. You can save them with your LOVE. Susan M. Garcia

Pretend to reconcile with a mate just to get back at an ex? That’s just playing with her heart and her kids’ hearts

In July 2011, I wrote about The ladies man who presents himself as a guru and a soulmate.  A few weeks ago, his current fiancee made a Facebook post that she was heartbroken and devastated that he could leave her, literally bedridden, after promising he was brought into her life to help her heal from other physical problems. I know him to be a sociopath and a narcisscist.  I sent a note of support and we had a brief private conversation.  She wrote “he’s been with me pretty much 24/7 for over a year, so i know he’s not been cheating.”  I knew he became engaged to her within weeks of leaving his last (secret) relationship.  I didn’t need to tell her that.  A day later she wrote on my FB wall, “Thank you, Andrea, I grew up a little bit more today.”  A day later, she said she’d done her own research, including speaking with her ex.  He’d convinced her that based on my intervention, they were now back together and had me to thank for it.  It would be laughable in that I expected no less from him, laughable except that this is a woman’s heart and mind and health he is playing with.  A woman with small children living in the same home with her.  Under no circumstances is that funny.
