I love the gorgeous picture you have given to this soul-sharing write. I feel your spirit flows through her and rides through her hooves to those places on the earth where your brother and sister are also joined, sending healing vibrations and rhythms of support and nurture. What a close-knot family you are. Deeply bonded in heart, soul and mind. May your united energies, love and faith together bring total healing and restoration, as you wait on the Giver of Life Himself. The power of creation and re-creation is released in your powerful thoughts through your pen. Bless you, Kate xx

Karen,
Very tender and full of love. I want you to know that your sister knows that you want to be there with her, but she also knows that you have your family and obligations. Know that brother is doing his best and he is coping as well as he can. I am channeling this message for you. Also, she is looking for something yellow. a ribbon or scarf, something that means a lot to her, she needs this yellow object. I wish you peace, love, and light,

Wonderful and heartfelt acknowledgement of strong family ties during a time of familial crisis, Karen...you're strong, your past has made you resilient not so unlike me...hang in there...daily prayers I assist you with at my Wiccan prayer altar down in Sage's meadow 250 steps out my back door. The circle is built with huge boulders and the ring is the size of a teepee, interlocking the rocks with a skeleton of bleached coyote bones and a five-pointed star I built out of rocks for the symbol of my Wiccan religion, each point on the star represents the five elements; earth, air, fire, water, and spirit...'an it harm none, do what ye shall.'...I am sending up some sage smoke today from the smudge sticks I wrap and tie from my yearly 100 pounds of Colorado sage harvest off my property of 11 acres. Look up in the sky and see my signal, Karen...Blessed Be.
