A season of warmth and Miracles
Posted by Intuition Girl
Everywhere you look, Mother Earth is warming the soil as we experience the freedom of the season. Summertime allows each one of us to relax a little more as we breathe in the sweetness of our balmy weather; the richness of the soil, the tender blossoms, and the bright green leaves that exhibit a beautiful display for the entire world to see. Have you taken the time to really look at nature lately and appreciate this season? Renowned poet, Albert Laighton once said, “Where man sees but withered leaves, God sees sweet flowers growing.” There is much truth in this statement; as all too often we walk along life’s highway dwelling on the low points and not enough of the highpoints. You see, summer is God’s way of awakening our eyes to the miraculous wonder of life.
Laighton was a man of great observation, he was able to see beyond the withered leaves and know that they have great potential while most of us only see the dead vegetation and look no further. We fill our lives with withering thoughts and fail to cultivate our ideas and nurture our heart’s desires. That’s how many of us tend to view our lives these days. For some of us, it takes too much time and effort to focus on what could be. We reject good and wholesome advice and choose to say—I know better than the wise men of the world.
We spend many an hour worrying about what was lost, or the cost of mistakes; and by the time we’ve spent all these precious moments on past issues, we have regrettably lost the opportunity that was there all along.
Are you forsaking your prosperity because you can’t see the flowers from the dead leaves? Let go of the old and withered patterns of your life. Each season has its beauty and affords us the opportunity to enjoy and partake in its abundance. However while we are in the season of summer, make it a time for miracles. Open up your heart and mind and allow the beautiful fruits of this season to enter your life. Don’t let a hardened heart prevent you from embracing new possibilities, and a chance for a positive life transformation. Even the flowers get a second chance every year to be the brightest and most colorful of the garden bouquet. God doesn’t view your “withered” ways; he wants you to be the best that you can be as well. That is my message to you – laugh, have fun, do something that brings a smile to your face.
We are all God’s children, and like the flowers of summer, he wants you to grow, flourish and feel the soft breeze across your face of his touch. Perhaps this is why we have four seasons in the year; each one offers us the opportunity to seek out the miracles that await us all.
5 Must-Have Attitudes in Relationships
Posted by Intuition Girl
In life, you will occasionally find that no matter where you are, with whom you are, or in whatever circumstance you may be, you may feel empty and dissatisfied with your current state of affairs. Perhaps you feel your job is no longer 
challenging or rewarding; or if you are in a long-standing relationship, you suddenly realize you have grown tired and bored with whom you have invested years of your life. Some of the most common mistakes some of you make is believing that others are there to “serve your purpose“. In relationships, it falls to each one of us to continually choose nonjudgmental perceptions and constructive interactions. Each and every day, you must focus on stronger and more sustainable relationships by carefully constructing building blocks of love and respect. Here are five must-have attitudes in relationships, which promise a sustainable and promising lifestyle:
1. Thinking of “50 Ways to Leave your Lover“? Maybe Paul Simon made a hit with that song, but perhaps it is time to start thinking of at least 25 ways to improve your relationship. Seriously. Get out a sheet of notebook paper and write down 50 ways to improve your relationship. Think of small ways you can contribute to bettering your circumstances and enriching each others’ lives. Remember, in love, it is a two-way street. It is not about how much your loved one can “serve your purpose“; rather, it is about how much each one of you can serve your own purposes to strengthen your bonds of love.
2. Seek and employ. Whether you are in a personal or professional relationship, you must have a “can-do” attitude. If your primary mission is to “search and destroy” aspects of a relationship – meaning you are more into “fault-finding” opposed to “positivism-finding”, then you are sabotaging your own relationship with something or someone. Instead, make a point to find five (5) positive elements or characteristics you admire about your career or your significant other. When you recalibrate your thinking in a more upbeat and hopeful thought process, you find that day-to-day living becomes more tolerable and joy-filled.
3. Stop assuming. It is vital in all relationships to toss out any preconceived ideas about a person or a situation. It is easy to fall into the “assumption trap” because you may have had a previous bad experience. Let it go. Do not offer feedback until you are absolutely clear of what an individual is telling you or doing. Just because something does not always seem clear to you, it does not mean the intention toward you is negative. Get the facts straight before you assume someone is out to get you. I have discovered that when I take the time to see the situation or experience from their point of view, I am better prepared to responds with wisdom and insight.
4. Compromise. Yes, in any and all relationships, it is imperative that you are willing to compromise. Throughout history, leaders – both great and small – have had to be the grownup in the room to find the middle ground. Compromising does not mean you have to sell your soul. What it does mean is that you are willing to cooperate on straightforward solutions to both complex and even simple issues. It may even mean “agreeing to disagree” and leaving it at that but I suggest without anger or malice.
5. Stop beating a dead horse. Have you ever been on the receiving end of one of these lashings? I am sure if you have, it has certainly made you feel frustrated or uncomfortable. So do not do it to someone else. If you have forgiven someone for past words or deeds, then you must also forgive yourself so you can release any anger or hurt feelings over that specific situation. If you have moved beyond a certain point in your life, why would you continue to rehash it? When you free yourself from past hurts, you find those associated feelings no longer have a stranglehold over your life. If you feel you cannot do it alone, let go and let God take the burden off your shoulders. Together, you will stop beating a dead horse and find the courage to move forward as an empowered being.
You are Perfect in Every Way

Everywhere you look these days there is a “quick fix” or some “magical cure” to mend what ails you… even for things you may not even realize you have. The latest novelty on the market promises longer, thicker, darker eyelashes for a “subset of women with inadequate or not enough lashes”. Of course men’s hair, rather lack thereof, is a financial windfall for marketers annually as well. But if you really listen to these and so many similar commercials, you find that the terminology and “implied” terminology is always geared toward the tearing down of the person. Words and phrases like: inadequate, not enough, aging, feelings of inadequacy, feelings of lack, loss of youthfulness, loss of vitality, loss of stamina, loss of strength, loss of tenacity, loss of vibrancy, and loss of beauty, among others, can be the beginning of the decline of your field of personal perception.
Not only do we have to contend with Internet, radio and television commercials, we also walk into retail stores where there are super-skinny, stick-figure mannequins displaying the latest fashions. But when you try the outfit on, it looks nowhere as good as it did on the store dummy. Now you go searching for the latest green-tea supplement to help shed the extra pounds so you can look as good as the plastic doll. How did we get to this point? We now compete with store window mannequins? Really?
When you have so many channels tearing you down day in and day out, it is no wonder you sometimes feel like you are less than whole, less than adequate. This is why it is so important that you learn how to tune into the right channels, and tune out the negative ones so that they do not influence you to the degree that they break you down and make you feel like less than a person.
Remember this, you are created perfectly in every way – from the moment of your conception, your life was laid before you. It was mapped out from the soles of your feet to the very last threads of the hair on your head (or not). Each cell, each muscle, each living, thriving, vibrant organ in your body is unique to you alone. Each serves a purpose for you to be the best at who you are today and in the future. It is not for the radio or television or any external influence to tell you who you are. That role is yours alone. You are who you are because you are born in the image and likeness of your Creator, your God or whatever name you give to the Creator of all that is. You come from perfection, the Divine and therefore, you also are part of that energy. No living being can take that away from you—only you can relinquish your power by giving it away.

Prayers needed for dreams and visions
Posted by Intuition Girl
Question # 2
Joan Marie,
Do you believe that everybody’s death is pre-ordained? Recently I received a message (a whisper) that the next person around me to die is going to be my 14 year old son. After receiving the message I had a very detailed dream about his death. I know that dreams are sometimes to be used for the symbolic messages but this time, I can’t shake that gut feeling that this is some type of warning or psychic message. The reason this dream disturbs me so much is because for the past year I have had dozens of psychic dreams.
It seems as what I see in my sleep comes to reality within days, weeks or months of the dream. It’s pretty amazing to say the least.
I can remember back when I was younger I had visions in my dreams that also came true. Some of these visions came with that gut wrenching sick feeling that you know there is nothing you can do about it; that it’s going to happen and that is the feeling that is coming with these messages/dreams.
I know there is nothing I can do to intervene with God’s plans so I’ve begun to pray for my son’s safety and protection. Please, if you don’t mind, say a prayer too. I believe in the power of prayer.
Thank you for any insight you can offer and for your prayers.

ANSWER
Hi Elizabeth:
I know what it is like to have your dreams become a reality. My true feeling concerning your son is— this is just a message of awakening for him on many levels. Remember, we all have free will; however, I feel he may be going through a death and a rebirth— a metamorphosis. It would be beneficial for you to have a conversation with him about his feelings and life choices and listen to what he has to say. He may need your support and encouragement.
I would also encourage you to pray to Archangel Michael and ask him to wrap his wings around your son making him invisible to any negativity. I encourage you to keep envisioning your son as healthy and protected—living and experiencing a fruitful life. There was another woman I met who saw her son in an accident. She continually placed her energies on seeing him arrive home safely. There was an accident but it ended up being very minor for him.
Anything is possible and prayer is powerful. Hold your son in the highest intention of safety, being secure and free from negative forces coming near him and we will do the same.
Please also remember, our journey here on earth is temporary. Enjoy your son moment by moment and invite laughter and joy into your lives.
Many Blessings,

Do you ever get over losing someone?
Posted by Intuition Girl
Dear Joan Marie:
I know you are also a “Medium” and have talked to many people to help them overcome the loss of a loved one. My question is: “ Do you ever get over losing someone? ”
Thank you,

Answer
Dear Michelle:
I don’t believe anyone ever has to get over the loss of a loved one. You do, however, need to learn how to accept it, heal from it and continue living. When you lose someone that you care deeply about there is a process or stages that you go through. Some people become very angry, others feel isolated and depressed and others carry on with their lives on the outside but on the inside they are crumbling. Usually the final stage is acceptance. It is true that everyone heals and recovers at a different pace.
Death is never meant as a punishment or that God is getting even. We are all born with a contract that we agreed to before we arrived on earth. While we do, I believe, have the opportunity to change our contract, destiny plays a large part in the equation. Death is, in actuality, liberation from the bonds of the human form. Even after death, the spirit lives on and continues to grow and heal. I realize that it is difficult for many to accept this truth, but if we could, we would be better prepared to look at the departure of a soul as their liberation and freedom and therefore a celebration.
It is perfectly natural to recall and wish for a loved one to still be with us and you may choose to keep their memory alive. But it would be helpful to store in your heart your love ones fond memory with the understanding that their departure was necessary in order for you to find your own voice and live your life now for your highest and best good. We all have lessons to learn from life and death and this is simply a part of the experience.
We may never forget but it would be wise to accept the reality. This truth is key to helping you build strength and support as you step forward towards a new phase of your life.
Many Blessings,
Joan Marie Whelan
