There are so many great subjects we learn about as we move through the many stages of life and the many grades of schooling we receive.
However, there is a subject which was never talked about in school, let alone taught, and that was the subject of life after death, or the afterlife.
We take ourselves with us wherever we go – even to heaven my friends, yes, even to heaven.
Having been raised a Catholic during the 1950s I was always fascinated with the story of the resurrection. I was taught to believe that we will all be reborn and I marveled over that possibility….
“Imagine”, I thought, “never really dying? Imagine, our spirits living on forever? Imagine never having to say goodbye to our parents or grandparents?” And “Imagine what it would be like knowing that one day we will all be together again?” The possibility provoked deep thoughts and filled me with hope.
No one enjoys grieving – that’s a given, but if you stop to think about it – grieving does play a necessary and important role in the death and healing process.
Losing a loved one, whether an animal or person, is a shock to our system. Whether their death was sudden and unexpected or slow and expected, it is a shock to our system.
Thank you all for helping me make 2014 such a success!

I wonder if you have ever read this story?
If you haven’t, please do. If you have, then you will most likely enjoy reading it again.
This is my favorite story in the whole wide world.
If you were able to control your own destiny – fully – in every aspect – would there be magic, synchronicities, impromptu moments or things done and actions taken “on a whim”?
If your destiny did control you – would you think for yourself, be creative, make your own decisions, or would you be a slave to all that is put before you… a thought processing machine?
We love waving our flags as much as the next ‘guy’.
We love celebrating and we welcome every reason to do so.
Most of all we love connecting and communicating with you – those in the here and now… our loved ones in form.
But here’s our struggle (this is where we get stuck.)…
And is enough happiness enough?
Is too much happiness too much?
