We just celebrated my Grand-daughter’s fourth birthday. Isn’t she just beautiful? She is definately Grandpa’s little Princess and I love her tons.

We usually have these birthday celebrations at my house because it is bigger than my daughters house with a large yard for the kids to run and play. And run and play they do. I love the energy that happens at these parties.

So the kids run around and create a lot of noise and the parents fuss around with the decorations and the food and Grandpa gets to enjoy it all, especially the children. I love to get down on kid level and see what is going on in the childrens world.

It is my opinion that we should allow all children to have equal say in how the world is run. They are ancient souls just like us but they have younger bodies that are much closer to the source than we are. They have wisdom that we could use in this world and it is a shame to waste it by trying to make them conform to silly standards of behavior that don’t work for adults and surely don’t work for children.

Remember, we are all spirit children of God and as such we are all made up of the same stuff as God. Chronological age is just a construct of life in the physical plane. But being so it is pretty cool because it allows me to be the “Grandpa” and love my Grand daughter to pieces.

Happy Birthday AnaMaria. She is the light of my life.

Live in love,

Wow! I am so blessed. I just spent a few days with the “Humanity’s Team” “Love Tour” that is traveling the United States right now. This is a dedicated group of people who are traveling in an RV from town to town and speading the message of love and oneness in a very positive way.

They are going up the west coast right now and did an event and spent the week end in Eugene, Oregon (my home town) and will be moving on up to the Seattle area today. I am loving every minute with these beautiful people.

Yes, on the Love Tour bus there is a message that says, Just Married. It is Martin and Marketa, the two Love Bugs in the middle of the photo who were wed in San Rafael, California just prior to them coming to Eugene. What fun and they are truly a wonderful happy couple. But hey, everybody on this “Love Tour” is beautiful, wonderful and happy.

I am so blessed because their schedule allowed them to spend three days here in Eugene and so they parked the RV in front of my house and we had an absolutely marvelous time of sharing and loving and creating all from a perspective of love and oneness. What an incredable experience. This is what life on planet earth is supposed to be like and this is what it is like when you live life from the paradigm of love and oneness.

I am so proud to be part of this international effort to spread the word of love and oneness. If you would like to learn more about the “Love Tour” just log onto: www.htlovetour2008.org and to learn more about humanity’s team go to: www.humanitysteam.org.

Wow! I am still buzzin from being ensconced in love for three days with these wonderful souls. You see folks, that what love does, it makes you buzz at a higher level. Very good, very good indeed.

Live in love,

Wow, I am always amazed and in awe of the way the universe works but I am also so very profoundly grateful of its many mysteries and magic.

My father passed away about twenty years ago. He was a very good person and I looked up to him a lot because he was a great example of honesty and integrity. He had a great sense of humor and he was quite a handsome man to boot. So I have a lot to be thankful for in my father.

Lately I have been on a path of very conscious intention about what I desire in my life and I have been invoking the guidance and help of spiritual mentors. I call in different spiritual guides at different times as the mood strikes me. I am not religious but I often invoke the guidance of Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, Mohammed and many others. I invoke guidance from Ralph Waldo Emerson, Thomas Jefferson and Socrates. I also invoke guidance from my mother and father.

This morning I woke up early and read a little bit of the current book I am reading and then felt the urge to close my eyes for a while and quickly dozed off again. All of a sudden I was in a room, like an airplane terminal, and through the double doors walked in my father looking very dapper with a big smile on his face. He walked straight over to me probably because he saw how my jaw was dropped and gave me a big hug.

I remember telling how great he looked and he told me the same and then he looked into my eyes and told me to keep on doing what I am doing because I am really helping the world right now. Wow! Now that was very validating and I was just thrilled with his words. And then, well, you know how dreams are, I just woke up.

So I am now awake but that memory, that dream (was it a dream?), will stay with me forever. Thank you Dad.

Live in love,

I am buying some property to build my dream house so I am selling a rental property I have as part of the financing. So I was playing golf with my realtor the other day and when we got off the course he was checking his phone messages.

To my surprise he said he just got a message from another realtor telling him that the hot water heater at my rental house was “spewing water.” Well, I quickly put my clubs in my car and dashed off to the house with visions of water flooding all the floors and running out the front door onto the street.

When I pulled into the driveway I didn’t see any water flowing so I opened the front door and was totally relieved to see that the beautiful wood floors were dry and inviting. I went to the utility room where the hot water heater sits and saw to my amazement that there was a small puddle of water on the floor coming from the water heater. Whew. That was a lot better than “spewing water.”

Okay, so I shut off the water and went about the task of replacing the water heater. I went to my local hardware store and found water heaters for several hundreds of dollars. It had been a while since I needed a water heater so I was kind of shocked.

Being a very good manifester I know about the power of intention. I made an Intention for a water heater to come to me effortlessly and easily at little or no cost. Later I called up the local recycling place and asked if they had any water heaters. Yes, they had three. The first one was a gas water heater and mine is electric. The second was a solar water heater and wouldn’t work. The third was almost the exact same water heater I was replacing and I bought it for $25.

Use the power of intention to tell the universe what you want and you will be amazed at how simple and easy it is to manifest into your life what you desire. The more you use it the more you understand how it works and the more stuff you start manifesting into your life the more you believe about your ability to manifest whatever you desire.

Live in love,
