<h2>February 3, 2012</h2>
<h2>We just couldn’t believe our eyes when Meghan and I uploaded pictures from last night at the Creativity and Expression with the Angels Workshop, when we drew in all of those Angels to assist with our work. They truly appeared front and center- just take a look for yourself! You will be amazed, as we were totally blown away by the wings and energy of all sorts swirling and flying around our table.</h2>
<h2>Everyone that attended our workshop left with a beautiful piece of art that they created with their own hands. The angels were in our space, guiding each person to a greater understanding of what their intentions were. We laughed, talked, shared, and just had a blast.</h2>
<h2>Maria designed a gorgeous painting that looked like a Sedona sunset, Lou created his oracle board to launch his mediumship work, Denise came out with such a beautiful box designed with an image of the present, to keep her in touch with living in the present moment, Deb did a gorgeous geometric painting, Donna created a beautiful box for her healing to continue with her health and wellbeing. Chantel created a really cool heart box with a green shell inside, to reflect her heart chakra as well as seeking out her soulmate that will soon manifest for her. Vanessa’s gorgeous drawing had a great angelic message in it. We all enjoyed the evening and it was fun, creative, and Vanessa shared the messages behind our creations with each one of us. We can’t wait to do it again. Enjoy the pictures, and also take note of the angelic energy that was over Chantel’s head at the end of the evening. How amazing is this? Donna Rae was engulfed in an abundance of angels as well as Jesus, which made complete sense to all of us since we are praying for her successful surgery on Friday, will a clean bill of health. Wait until we show her this picture!</h2>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Messages From the Chief</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;"><strong>January, 21, 2012</strong></span></h1>
<h1><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Ed purchased tickets to see a show on Broadway called “Memphis” for my Christmas present. The Saturday of January 21, who would expect it to be a blizzard of snow for the ride all the way down to the big city, but we had to go. </strong></span></h1>
<h1><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>People driving off the road and being very impatient on the highway, I didn’t even know where they were going given the conditions of the road. </strong></span></h1>
<h1><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>We arrived at the Marriott  in the heart of Time Square. The energy, air, and fast pace of the city got me so excited to be there. I asked for a room with a view and the young lady said “For $50 more I will give you an awesome room.” and WOW, I am telling you it was unreal! 45 stories up and the entire wall looked out and down at all the lights, movie screens, buildings wrapped with Hershey bar wrappers, M&amp;M’s, colors, birds flying by,  a beautiful view of the Hudson River. People, taxi cabs, police, I mean you could see it all just by looking out.</strong></span></h1>
<h1><span style="color: #000000;"><strong> “Only in NY,” I said, the night was magical to see out at this view in the night darkness with the lights just blew your mind. NY truly doesn’t sleep at night.</strong></span></h1>
<h1><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>We had a great time eating at a Brazilian restaurant, walking around, and enjoying the Broadway musical.</strong></span></h1>
<h1><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>The next day I wanted to have breakfast in SoHo, so we headed down there. As we were driving down Broadway, Ed said, “Meg, check it out, look across the street.”</strong></span></h1>
<h1><span style="color: #000000;"><strong> <a href="http://megsinspirations.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Messages-from-the-Chief-12112-001.jpg"><span style="color: #000000;"><img class=" wp-image-518 aligncenter" title="OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA" src="http://megsinspirations.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Messages-from-the-Chief-12112-001-1024x768.jpg" alt="" width="614" height="461" /></span></a></strong></span></h1>
<h1><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>I started to laugh. The sign on the building read &#8220;Rudy’s Bar &amp; Grill&#8221; with a huge statue of a pig standing outside the entrance of the restaurant. I said, “Well my Dad said he was going to send me all kinds of signs,” and I knew that this was one. He loved NY city, he loved to go to Little Italy, and yes, he walked everywhere with us in the city. The thoughts of him walking with Ed and I washed through me while I was just sitting at the light, looking at the pig in front of Rudy’s Bar &amp; Grill. Thinking about all of the NY boat shows, dinners, laughs, conversations and energy- great memories. </strong></span></h1>
<h1><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>We both started to laugh and reminisce about my dad (“The Chief”) and his collection of pigs because he owned 2 himself- Lucifer and Diavlo. That’s what started the huge collection of pigs that were sent to him from around the world. He sent us this sign on a Sunday morning, which reminded me of the many Sunday mornings my dad spent in the kitchen, with his cast iron frying pan and Phillip Barrio olive oil, making his famous “Thousand Year Old Recipe.” I knew he was sending both of us a sign. </strong></span></h1>
<h1><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Well, we go to SoHo and went to a fantastic Bakery and looked for a breakfast place. We decided to get in the car and drive down to Greenwich Village, maybe to find something down there. We found a fabulous Spanish restaurant and had a awesome lunch of all types of tapas, and the waitress was great. She even gave us some Spanish olives to take home! We had a wonderful time in the Big Apple.</strong></span></h1>
<h1><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>We decided to head home around 3:00 p.m., so Ed drove to the West side of Manhattan to jump on the Highway. While driving through the wild and crazy streets of NY, Ed says to me, “Meg, check it out. Read the license plate on the truck in front of us.” It read ‘RUDYCOOP’. </strong></span></h1>
<h1><span style="color: #000000;"><strong><a href="http://megsinspirations.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Messages-from-the-Chief-12112-004.jpg"><span style="color: #000000;"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-517" title="OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA" src="http://megsinspirations.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Messages-from-the-Chief-12112-004-1024x768.jpg" alt="" width="614" height="461" /></span></a></strong></span></h1>
<h1></h1>
<h1><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>I just couldn’t believe my eyes! A New York Plate, another sign, sent to us from the Chief. Unreal! You really amaze me.</strong></span></h1>
<h1><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Dad, I want to thank you for the signs you’ve been throwing in our direction. You never cease to catch me offguard, and your ways of communication are so unexpected, fun and hilarious, that I can’t help but wonder what your next sign will be. Not only is your humor and wit still flourishing- your memories and energy still warm our hearts and bring us laughter. I can’t wait to see what you throw at us next!!!</strong></span></h1>
<h1><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Your loving daughter, </strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Meg xoxo</strong></span></h1>

I was rushing to get there, as normal.</p>
<p>At about 6:30 pm I was exiting my driveway and directly in front of my car is the sunshine turtle again!  It was just walking down the road.  I jumped out of my car and started to approach her.  She started to speed up as she felt my presence.  I talked to her and tried to explain that I wasn’t going to hurt her. I just wanted to move her out of the road.</p>
<p>I gently picked her up and placed her on the lawn for safety.  It’s an amazing feeling knowing that my mother is definitely sending me these reassurances to take it easy, slow and steady…you will get there.</p>
<p>Mother Earth is the most healing place to live. The gifts we are sent are precious. Take in all you can through the animals that share our planet.  They are messengers from another dimension. Trust me, it’s true.</p>
<p>I couldn’t wait to start to paint my turtle.</p>
<p>When I got home from work the next day, the journey of my turtle painting started to unfold.  I am grateful to receive all of these wonderful visitors. God created a beautiful world for all of us to enjoy.</p>
<p>Go outside today and be AWARE of your surroundings.<br />
Listen to the sounds, take in the scents and just be!</p>
<p>Peace,<br />
Meg</p>

<p>With love, light and gratitude,</p>
<p>Meg</p>

<p>One night in January, I dreamt of my mother’s face. Behind her appeared a silver wolf. The dream was so real and peaceful, and I felt so grateful to experience it. I was floating all day, and nothing could change how great my day was going to be.</p>
<p>That month I had my friends the Reiki sisters down from Springfield to attune a few people that I am very close to. I told them my wonderful dream, how I felt, and so on. They told me that the dream meant that my mother was still with me, and by her shape-shifting into a wolf meant that she would always loyally protect me. That day in my store with all the energy and enthusiasm was just wonderful. We did Reiki energy work and had a magical day. We did that on Monday because my store is closed then, and we needed the quiet and serenity to do the teaching. When I got home that night it was like I was floating on a cloud.</p>
<p>Well, my husband had mentioned wanting to go to Vermont snowmobiling on Sunday and I said, “We have to go to a Christening for Brooke and Keagan on Sunday.” Brooke and Keagan are my twin brother’s children, and we are Keagan’s godparents. My husband said, “Why don’t I take Monday off from work, and we can shoot up early that morning to Vermont just for the day to enjoy some snowmobiling.” And of course I was psyched and said yes!</p>
<p>Getting back to Sunday, I really was thinking of my mom, Dorothy, for she wasn’t present at the babies’ Christening, but I did know in spirit that she would be present. I wore her ring and her coat and prayed for her presence. The entire time I could feel her with me, and I was fine with that.</p>
<p>Well, on Monday morning I got up early, made a pot of coffee for the road, and headed up with my husband to Vermont for sledding. We rolled into Wilmington, Vermont, and Ed asked me if I’d like to go out to breakfast before we start our venture into the forest. Well we stopped for breakfast, and the diner was called “Dot’s Place”. When I walked in, everyone was wearing a sweatshirt that also said “Dot’s Place”. I felt awesome, for I knew my mother was sending me a confirmation… “Meg, you did a wonderful job yesterday and I’m here.”</p>
<p>That wasn’t the end though. We usually don’t sit at a table when we go out to breakfast; we usually sit at the counter. This time, however, we sat at one of the tables. As I was looking at a photo on the wall next to us, I noticed it said “R.G. Childs”. I was really surprised because that’s my grandparents’ name. We read the description under the picture and it said, “R.G. Childs was a hardware store before it was Dot’s Place”. I almost fell over! I turned to Ed and said, “My mother and grandparents are here with us.” Talk about feeling fantastic! Before I went out snowmobiling I just felt awesome.</p>
<p>Ed and I went across from Wilmington to Route 7 and headed up to Woodford, Vermont, where there is a great snow belt. Sure enough, when we headed into the forest, the snow was an unbelievable 6 feet and the conditions couldn’t have been better.</p>
<p>We traveled 110 miles and the day was magical. Ed had a little trouble with his sled so we decided to head back. We were on our way back to the truck when a snow squall came upon us out of nowhere. I couldn’t see a thing in front of me, and the wind was wicked. We went about seven miles (which felt like forever), and then it just lifted and the sun came out again. The sky was a beautiful Tanzanite blue.</p>
<p>So we were heading into the trees, which is the National Forest up in Vermont. The snow looks like sugar on the trees and it’s just like something make-believe. As I was going through the woods, I said to myself, “I would love to see a moose.” As I went around a bend, looking right at me was a silver wolf. It was just unreal. I stopped, threw my helmet up, and this wolf and I just stared at each other. Then it started to go up into the snowy mountain, and it kept turning around to make eye contact with me. Then it hopped through some more snow and stared at me again. It stared at me one more time, and then it was gone. Wow. I have to tell you I just couldn’t have been more blown away from seeing such a gorgeous animal in its natural environment. Everything about that day just took my breath away. I guess that’s why I love snowmobiling. You never know what you might see or experience, but it is a total Zen state- you and Mother Earth. I am truly blessed to experience such a thing.</p>
<p>With love and gratitude,<br />
Meg</p>
