The Two Young Men

noreply@blogger.com (Alice Hoo) — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 21:50:35 PST

Being authentic is somehow difficult for many people, especially they grow up in the environment that request them to be "multi-tasking, trouble-shooting, and committed". Being real is another bold step, it takes lots of trust and courage, true and childlike expression. But it grants you "J.O.Y."!

Once upon a time, there are two young men, they were assigned a secret mission, to climb a hill. They were sent by a helicopter, and the pilot told them before sending them down to the hill.

"The total amount of days for you to reach the peak from the bottom of hill is 7 days. Herewith your food and beverage for three days. You need to learn to find your food before you get starve in the rest of your journey."

The next moment, the pilot sends them down to the ground and leave.

The first young man starts to look around and looking for the pack of food, he feels betrayed and fooled by this mission. The second man, he tied up the back pack and invites the first man to start their climbing.

However, the first young man is annoyed by his aggressiveness. So, he chooses to ignore the invitation of the second man.

The second man starts his climbing...

After the third day, the second young man found a pack of food was left in the middle of his trail. And there is a note stick on the pack.

"Welcome to your adventure, and if this is your third day here, which means you take "one step at a time. Your journey can be continued with this pack of food."

So, the second young man build his camp on the spot to spend a night.

Fourth day...fifth day...sixth day...

The second young man tried to make fire to attract the first young man's attention. However, no response was returned.

On the seventh day early morning, the second young man reach the top of the mountain before the sunrise. And he can see a helicopter is coming on his direction.

Finally, the second man is picked up by the pilot.

He is handed over a letter,

"Congratulation, you finished your end line. You was given a partner to walk on this journey with you. Yet, you was rejected by the first man in the beginning of this journey. However, you try to reach out to him on the third day, again, he comes back with no response.

What do you do at that time? What do you think at that time about the first young man?

You continue your journey, again, at one step at a time. There is a moment I know you slow down, when you exhausted. However, the reason for you to make this journey, which is, you move on step by step even though you know it is tough to walk it alone. The cliffs do not frighten you. Sometimes you can move it fast, sometimes you fall on the cliff. One thing that is very important, and I know you make it...

...You never stop your step. That's how you read this letter."

When he finished read the letter, he is curious about the first man. So, he asked about the news of him. And the pilot answered.

"He is the person who gives you this mission, and the letter on your hand, is written by him."

Angel Among Us

noreply@blogger.com (Alice Hoo) — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 07:19:23 PST

After my church class, I keep praying in my heart while I was driving home. I started to recall the cards, appreciation emails, and those comments from clients, friends, community I assisted before. The moment I think back what they told me, my tears roll down from my cheek.

"Alice, you are my angels in my life."

"Alice, you help me to deal with the toughest part in my life, I found my happiness again..."

"Alice, my mother is happier now, thanks to give her the rays of hope."

"Alice, you are such a real angel, because of you, I no longer lonely, I feel God and Angel are real. Thank you to teach me about angel. You are truly God send."

"Unbelievable!" I whispered in my heart.

I keep praying, I give this result and glory to Him, God. You make me become who I am today.You bring me to this life, and make me go through every ups and downs. Lord, Your grace made me become an angel.

When my life crashed in bottom, I kneel down my knee, just like you, begging for help. But everytime after I pray, They come. They come in different forms.

They could be a stranger, talk to me in the whole afternoon. After he left, he gives me the wisdom ans strength to go through my next day...

They could be my family, helping me in behind, arranging surprise party and gift to delight me. They send encouraging messages make me could not sleep in the whole night...

They could be friends, hold my hands tight when I claimed to give up...

They could be clients from different countries or states, drop me their gratitude emails to share the miracles happened after their life changed, and those emails always help me to keep the faith.

An angel is sentimental, sometimes she is vulnerable and show her weaker side. But she will be alright after you see her next time. She always tell you, "Things will be alright. God will help you go through, have faith. And miracles belong to those who believe."

No matter what go through in our life, God and angels are always there for us. They sending down to us from somewhere else above...

To show us how to live.

To teach us how to give.

And, They guide us with the light of Love...

Never and ever...think about "give up".

A song "Angel Among Us", I would like to dedicate for you.

I was walking home from school on a cold winter's day
Took a shortcut through the woods and I lost my way
It was getting late and I was scared and alone
Then a kind old man took my hand and led me home
Mama couldn't see him, but he was standing there
But I knew in my heart, he was the answer to my prayers

Oh I believe there are angels among us
Sent down to us from somewhere up above
They come to you and me in our darkest hours
To show us how to live
To teach us how to give
To guide us with a light of love

When life dealt troubled times and had me down on my knees
There's always been someone there to come along and comfort me
A kind word from a stranger to lend a helping hand
A phone call from a friend just to say I understand
Ain't it kind of funny at the dark end of the road
Someone lights the way with just a single ray of hope

Oh I believe there are angels among us
Sent down to us from somewhere up above
They come to you and me in our darkest hours
To show us how to live
To teach us how to give
To guide us with a light of love

They wear so many faces
Show up in the strangest places
Grace us with thier mercy
In our time of need

Oh I believe there are angels among us
Sent down to us from somewhere up above
They come to you and me in our darkest hours
To show us how to live
To teach us how to give
To guide us with a light of love

The Music from Heaven

noreply@blogger.com (Alice Hoo) — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 06:19:29 PST

Last night, I stayed at my friend's home in order to prepare the next day Angel Workshop. As usual, after our dinner, we having our chat until midnight. And I asked for sleep, she then shut down her computer and we sleep.

In the half way of my sleeping, I heard a music seems coming out from a music box, it repeats for three to four times. I was half asleep, so the music did not delight me, and I even feel a bit annoy about the sound coming out from no where.

I thought my friend's phone is switching on a music ringtone or some kind of music player. But I was just too sleepy, and in my heart I pray, "Oh please Angel Michael, can you help me to shut the noise and give me a peaceful sleeping, I have to run a workshop tomorrow." Surprisingly, after my prayer, the music stop.

The next day, my friend asked me whether or not I have a good night sleep. And her concern just remind me about the piece of music I heard last night.

"Do you turn on any music player in your laptop last night?" I asked.

"No, I never turn on any music when I sleep." She answered.

"Well, I was disturbed by a piece of music three to four times, but it has a healing effect on me, I feel as if someone is talking to me." I don't know why, I have this knowing when I answered my friend.

"What's the music told you?" My friend was in curious.

"I don't know, I can't remember, I just know it kinda annoyed." I laughed.

"But what is that piece of music hear like?" She asked again.

"It just like a crystal music box, the sound is clear and clean." I affirm her.

So, this piece of music was left in my heart, and we both without knowing where was it come from.

At the same night, as usual, I prayed before I sleep. During the moment I pray, my heart asking God, "what is that piece of music is all about?" I closed my eyes, just when I finish my question, I saw a cute little angel playing a harp, a mini and tiny harp. He looks happily on me. "I am here with you since yesterday, can't you recognize me?"

I was totally surprised by this "special music angel". He appeared to me since yesterday morning. I posted a status in Facebook, and someone commented my status. During the moment I saw the name of the one who commented me, through his name I saw three tiny cute angels, each of them holding different music instruments, there are harp, flute and trumpet. But I did not really put it in my heart about this vision.

But now, why one of the music angel came to me? Without answer, I search on internet about the sound of harp, and a piece of music play on harp catch my attention, named "Stairway to Heaven". After I clicked on the music link and listen, I was shocked, that was exactly the piece of music I heard last night.

Sometimes, I do feel God constantly send His messengers to me. No matter they are saints or holy angels, they came for special reason. This is my first time experiencing music angels are with me during my sleeping hours. I pray every night, "May God grant me a good night sleep, replace my fear and doubt in heart with strength, hope, and faith."

And tonight, God finally affirms me, "I am with you. Good night, my dear child."

"Canon in D" play on harp soothes my heart as always, I wish you enjoy this gift from Heaven. Thank you, the little cutie music angel, I love you! :)

Is He Throw You A Brick Today?

noreply@blogger.com (Alice Hoo) — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 22:13:47 PST

God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way.

A young and successful executive was traveling down a neighborhood street, going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar. He was watching for kids darting out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something.

As his car passed, no children appeared. Instead, a brick smashed into the Jag's side door! He slammed on the brakes and backed the Jag back to the spot where the brick had been thrown.

The angry driver then jumped out of the car, grabbed the nearest kid and pushed him up against a parked car shouting,

'What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing? That's a new car and that brick you threw is going to cost a lot of money.. Why did you do it?' The young boy was apologetic.

'Please, mister....please, I'm sorry but I didn't know what else to do,' He pleaded. 'I threw the
brick because no one else would stop...' With tears dripping down his face and off his chin, the youth pointed to a spot just around a parked car. 'It's my brother, 'he said 'He rolled off the curb and fell out of his wheelchair and I can't lift him up.'

Now sobbing, the boy asked the stunned executive, 'Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He's hurt and he's too heavy for me.'

Moved beyond words, the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat.. He hurriedly lifted the handicapped boy back into the wheelchair, then took out a linen handkerchief and dabbed at the fresh scrapes and cuts.. A quick look told him everything was going to be okay. 'Thank you and may God bless you,' the grateful child told the stranger.. Too shook up for words, the man simply watched the boy! Pushing his wheelchair-bound brother down the sidewalk toward their home...

It was a long, slow walk back to the Jaguar. The damage was very noticeable, but the driver never bothered to repair the dented side door. He kept the dent there to remind him of this message: 'Don't go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention!' God whispers in our souls and speaks to our hearts. Sometimes when we don't have time to listen, He has to throw a brick at us. It's our choice to listen or not.'

THINK!

If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it.

If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it.

He sends you flowers every spring.

And, snow every winter to ski upon!

He sends you a sunrise every morning.

Face it, friend - He is crazy about you!

He sends this to every 'beautiful person' you wish to bless.

God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way.

Read this line very slowly and let it sink in...

If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.

*This story was credited to my friend, Steve from California, he sends me this story via email. It touches my heart. I wish to dedicate to all of you. So, do you receive the brick I throw to your life today? :p God bless you!

Superhero Is Not Meant To Fight The Battle Alone

noreply@blogger.com (Alice Hoo) — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 09:22:05 PST

There's a flower,

In the smallest garden,

Reaching for the light,

There's candle,
In the darkest corner,
Conquering the night,

There is amazing strength,
In a willing hand,
There are victories,
That you've never planned,

There's a hero,
In everybody's heart,

There's a fire,
Inside of everybody,
Burning clear and bright,
There's a power,
In the faintest heartbeat,
That cannot be denied,

Go on a trust yourself,
You can ride the wind,
Your gonna take your dreams
Where they've never been,

There's a hero
In everybody's heart,

Go on and trust yourself,
You can ride the wind,
Your gonna take your dreams
Where they've never been,

There's a hero
In everybody's heart,

There's a hero
In everybody's heart!

"Have you ever watch any super hero movie? You should learn to ask for support when you need. You don't need to deal with it alone." Someone give me a wise advice.

Every morning when my alarm is beeping, I put it off and go back to bed, sitting there and do nothing, starring in the air for 30 minutes. I asked God, "what is the purpose of my living today? You stupid, shouldn't I plan it last night before I sleep? Why I ask God right now. Come on, wake up!"

Days come and pass, in these three years. I keep searching the "right way" to live. From the working life I used to life, it was a daily routine, day after day, years after years. I earned what I earned, I spent what I spent. And I did not even know I can change my destiny, only if I allow myself to try.

"It is not only to live, girl, it is about to live it rightly! There are people out there simply exist, but they are not living. No one tells them, until one day they are willing to look at their lives. But do you know, you always have that choice. This is because, you have a hero live in your heart, I see that, all of us here see that. Be proud to yourself." I still remember my trainer give me this, and that night, I yelled out loud in front of all my fellows.

"I am a strong, passionate, and caring woman." I said it out to my fellows.

"No, add in "Proud", and say it again!" My trainer asked me to repeat the statement I declare to myself.

" I am a Strong, Proud, Passionate, and Caring woman." I cried and claimed it proudly in front of all fellows.

"Yes, you are." He held my hands, and put them on my heart.

"Feel it, Alice, there's a hero in your heart. You know that, be proud to yourself, believe in yourself. You no longer need to look down on yourself anymore, because, there's a hero lives here, just right here."

That training done in three years back, yet those words from my wise trainer marked in my heart. Whenever I feel ashamed about my mistakes, I do cry. I am a mortal being, just like you. People thinks, I have gifted angelic vision to perceive the future. Not really, I am still going through the same difficulties just like you, I am still struggles when things getting tough. But due to all these, I can also experience the maximum joy when miracles happen.

When people asked, "Why don't you use your gift to see your future?"

I laughed and said, "No one wants to watch a football match if they knew whose team is the winner, would you?"

The hero lives in my heart, always inspiring me to keep helping others, bringing the sense of purpose into your life. For me,writing blog to give hope, peace, love and harmony into your heart is something that can delight my day.

And, although I was defeated. That was my past. I knew, there is a hero lives in everybody's heart.

A Letter From Heaven - A Thousand and One Possibilities

noreply@blogger.com (Alice Hoo) — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 02:26:13 PST

A message from Heaven: ~ Enjoy!

Please, when it is something that matters to you, not to give up at all. Limitations are perceptions. You don't have to perceive limitations. Perceive beyond limitations.

Let go of conditions as best you can. Let go of old stories you tell yourself. You tend to make rules where there are no rules. You make certain conditions necessary. You tie together cause and effect as if they were hitched, as if cause and effect were a pair of yoked oxen pulling a cart, as if one thing must follow another as if by law. There is no rule, and, when you make up a rule, it does not necessarily follow.

You say that germs cause colds. You are sure of it. You are also sure that not being warm enough causes colds. What studies exactly have you made to accept rules that you once heard and have followed without question? How many times have you not caught a cold?

The way I see it, so-called causes are excuses rather than causes. Oh, yes, if you drop a spoon, it will fall. Even so, I will wager that there are times you drop a spoon and catch it before it falls, or someone catches it. Better not to get caught up in details or proof. To what avail? To what avail are percentages? To what avail is evidence?

There are incidental factors you make into rules. Some of those you may not be aware of. Sometimes you are. Too often you state suppositions as fact:

"I am not good at computers. I always mess up. If there is a possible difficulty, I am sure to find it."

"I was never good at taking tests."

"I can't do geometry."

"I always have had terrible bosses."

"I can't get anywhere on time."

Now I will reverse My earlier statement. It's true. What you think is a cause is a cause. What you count on often comes true. What you say often comes true often. This is almost guaranteed. Your thoughts make it certain. Once in a while, there are exceptions.

In every situation, there are a thousand and one possibilities. Is it so hard to turn the odds in your favor?

Turn the odds in your favor by getting out of the past conditioning. What was does not always have to be.

What is there that a human being cannot do? What is there that a human being has not done?

Sometimes it seems important to you to prove yourself right in a conclusion even when the conclusion is against your interests.

"See, I told you I wouldn't get that raise."

"See, I never did well in geometry."

"See, I'm not good at sports."

Will you kindly change your tune? Give yourself a chance. Is it possible that you can change your thinking and so change the result? Can you not give yourself a fighting chance?

I do not even ask that you talk yourself into something. You don't have to talk yourself into being great at tests, sports, or what. I ask, I request, I insist that you stop marking conditions in stone, stop establishing conditions that you do not want - or do you? Do you like the distinction of always getting a cold, always not doing fabulously in tests, always something or other?

If you insist on limiting yourself, can you not equally insist on freeing yourself from limitations?

Be inspired rather than diminished. Have not there been men and women who lost their legs in accidents and nevertheless ran races in triumph? Have not those who stuttered become great orators?

I ask you to please not give up so soon. I ask you to, please, when it is something that matters to you, not to give up at all. Limitations are perceptions. You don't have to perceive limitations. Perceive beyond limitations.

It is Not Easy, But It Always Worth It

noreply@blogger.com (Alice Hoo) — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 23:02:02 PST

Today, I am finally back to my work desk. After few days of emotional turmoil. I think, Holy Spirit brings me the strength and I am back for the new life.

After this few days of self quietness, many things used to frightened me, burden me, hurt me, and now I fully consecrated to God. And with prayers, reading gospel, and constantly self examine. Thank you Jesus, I finally walk into a greater faith by Your grace and comfort.

This afternoon when I have my lunch, I took out a book given by a friend. "Chicken Soup for the Latter-day Saint Soul", and I pray before I open this book. You may wonder, even when I read a book, I also say a prayer before I flip it. The life experience makes me become humble and I start to welcome God to take charge my life instead of I take control of it.

And there is a story strike my heart when I read that page, and I would like to share with you.

From Wings to the Temple

And it came to pass that I beheld that the rod of iron, which my father had seen, was the word of God, which led to the fountain of living waters, or to the tree of life; which waters are representation of the love of God; and I also beheld that the tree of life was a representation of the love of God.
~1 Ne. 11:25

Growing up in and LDS family doesn't always guarantee you'll listen to everyone's counsel. As a teenager, I definitely was not a listener - and I rode on the wings of other people testimonies. That continued until I was an adult, when I decided I was tired of riding and wanted to be the pilot. It was only after a series of not-so-pleasant events and my friend's cutting words about my marriage that I decided to take a serious look at what I really wanted in life.

I began a quest for my own knowledge of the truth through much prayer and scripture reading. For the first time in my life the scriptures were no longer :Greek" to me. Not only did I understand them, but the words came to life as they played out each scene in my head. My heart swelled as I read and finally had a confirmation of their truthfulness. I was now the pilot, and I longed to soar to everyone and share this great treasure I had found.

That experience set my compass on the whole new life course. After some coaxing from my mom, I attended the temple again to perform baptisms with the youth. This turned out to be another pivotal event in my life. As I prepared to go to the temple I could feel Satan trying to get his hooks into me through the ways of the world. I did my best to avoid anything "evil", even if it was just in appearance. Listening to the uplifting music during the seven hour drive to the temple helped promote the Spirit. As we got closer to the temple I anxiously look for glimpses of Moroni. As we rounded the corner I saw him, high above the temple, shimmering in the sunlight, nobly grasping his trumpet. Tears filled my eyes as I remembered being at the temple as a youth.I was so grateful to be near the temple and feel the Spirit there once again.

It was the greatest feeling to be at the temple, but I literally felt like my heart had been ripped out when I saw all of the endowed chaperones (all of the adults other than me) leave to changing into their temple clothes. There I sat in the temple waiting room - and even though the room was filled with youth, I felt alone. I felt like I had been left behind or left out. I was something like being picked last for a sports game in elementary school, but a hundred times worse! Avoiding eye contact was the only way I could keep from bursting into tears. At the time I didn't understand why I was feeling this way. I was at the temple! You're not supposed to feel like that at the temple! The rest of my day at the temple was filled with the Spirit and was awesome as I spent it performing baptisms and confirmations.

A few weeks after my temple trip, I had a vivid dream that reminded me of those moments in the temple waiting room. In my dream I stood in a dark, smoky room. In the middle was an iron rod that ran from one end of the room through an opening at the other end of the room. On one side of the rod people were gathered around a bar - drinking, smoking and watching those of us by the iron rod. As I held on the rod and walked toward the door, I saw people from my ward, dressed in white, standing at the door. I was happy to see several recognizable faces. I then noticed that the people around me holding on to the rod were also dressed in white and were allowed to get through the door.

When I reached the door and looked through it, I could see the temple in the distance. The rod led all the way to the temple, and along its path people in white were walking toward the temple doors. There were families. There were couples. There were friends. As I drew closer to the door I could feel the love of all who passed through it, but then I realized I couldn't go through the door. Those who did had a temple recommend. I didn't. I again experienced the feelings of being left out and alone.

When I woke up and began thinking about my dream, I remembered the way I felt in the waiting room at the temple. During the next few months, I had several other dreams with similar themes. Those dreams put into motion the necessary steps I needed to take to receive my own endowment.

When I began working to achieve that goal, I was warned that the journey would not be an easy one. Many obstacles stood in my way - especially as the time drew closer for me to go. This change in me was difficult for my then-inactive husband, and it caused a lot of contention in our marriage. Additionally, I suffered a miscarriage; the engine in our family car cracked, leaving us with a small pickup truck to transport our family of four, our finances were very limited, and the money I had set aside to purchase garments had to be used to buy special shampoos and sprays when our children contracted lice. I lived by the sayings, "I never said it would be easy. I only said it would be worth it."

Despite the obstacles, I continued to have faith and refused to give up. Four months after the youth temple trip, I once again took the seven-hour trip and returned to the temple - but this time I didn't feel left out. I finally belonged. I had a temple recommend to receive my endowment.

I received many blessings through my experience. The day before I left for the temple, a check arrived in the mail from a great friend who wanted to be there with me but couldn't. She sent the check to help with the cost of purchasing garments. She never knew the money I had set aside was gone! After attending the temple I became pregnant and gave birth to our third son of the Fourth of July. We were able to purchase a minivan to accommodate our growing family. My inactive husband slowly began attending church again (When I requested this in lieu of gifts for every occasion), and one day decided to start wearing his garments, too!

Although I continue to experience obstacles, I find strength through faith and a growing testimony of the gospel. I know if I had continued riding on the wings of others and had not become the pilot, I would have fallen off - and my parachute at the time was full of holes!

Stories from Kirsten Fitzgerald in chapter of Faith - Chicken Soup for the Latter-day Saints Soul.

Through her story, I almost forgot this word of wisdom I used to tell my friends when they went through difficulties in life.

"I never said it would be easy. I only said it would be worth it."

No one knows what is your destiny, but my friends, believe in yourself. Yes, sometimes life throw you something you feel you can no longer cope with it. Behold, stand firm in your step. I remember how my granny walked through the difficulties in their lives to raise up the family of my dad. And, everyone of us has something need to walk through. Breath! Let all your sorrow and obstacles to go, and invite God to help you as I always do. Now I know, I can do it, not because I can, it is He is there carries me to walk through it.

Walk on every step you can, slowly keep charging ahead. Sunshine is bright out there.

Have faith, my dear friends.

God bless you and I love you! :)

There is Nothing to Worry

noreply@blogger.com (Alice Hoo) — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 20:24:19 PST

"Nothing matters so much that we should throw ourselves into a state of panic about it.
No happening is so important that we should let ourselves be exiled from from inner peace and mental calm for its sake." ~ Paul Brunton

There is nothing to worry about. Let yourself really feel this message. Let it sink deeply into your body and inside your heart. There truly is nothing to worry about because you are always being provided for and taken close care of by the God Source. You can trust that there is a divine power running the bigger show. Behind the scenes it is always there making sure everything that is needed to manifest will manifest so that you become a fully self-realized enlightened being. There is no need to worry, as everything that is unnecessary in your life will not happen. The events, people and situations in your future are all on the divine schedule. Your job is to relax, be grateful and enjoy the journey as much as you possibly can to the very end.

Whenever we worry we are not trusting in life, ourselves or God. We stop believing that there is a highly intelligent all loving conscious force that is here now, leading us deeper into our very being and higher into our greatest ecstasy. Worrying is a symptom that your mind has taken control over you, and you start to believe you are small limited being with limited insight, direction and power. Worrying is a repression of understanding that at the core you are an unlimited soul with infinite power, who is intimately connected to an all encompassing God Source. When you honor this connection you'll find that a day without worry is a day of surrendering to the divine.

No matter how many times you're told not to worry, your mind is still going to return to its habit and try. You cannot permanently stop this old pattern with pure force and will power. The only thing you can do is transcend the mind entirely by realizing the truth of who and what you really are. When you see how amazingly powerful you actually are, the mind becomes a bit embarrassed of its worrying habit and gives up. By looking deeper inside, to your essential nature, you'll find that you are the God Source in essence, and you are not these limiting ideas about it at all. You'll find you are the all pervasive being who is the divine witnesser watching the entire show!

Living as this witnessing awareness means you're no longer believing the illusions the mind is creating are real. You realize that piece of rope you thought was a snake, is just a rope. You are not afraid to pick it up and play with it, and yet you also have the choice to step over it and ignore it. The thoughts flying through your mind are only indicators of what life experience you're having, and have nothing to do with who and what you truly are. Seeing this deeper truth is how you'll transcend the mind completely. The more time you spend seeing what is beyond thought and behind the mind, there will come a day where you are truly free from the mind and the suffering habits it was addicted to.

“It’s unbelievable how much you don’t know about the game you’ve been playing your whole life.” ~Mickey Mantle

When you choose to allow yourself to continuously explore this God Source at your core, you'll find that worry leaves your life completely. It's as if worry was the last tiny snowflake sitting on the hot pavement in Spring. It doesn't stand a chance to exist in the presence of the divine. Yet, to arrive at this place takes vigilance. You will need to become highly aware of the dream you're dreaming, why you're dreaming this particular dream, and who is this dreamer who is inventing this dream you're imagining all day long. You'll need to relax, sit back from the mind and live your life as the One who is awake and has realized the dream is not real. When you make this understanding more important than anything else in your life, you'll discover the most amazing joy, bliss and freedom you could have ever imagined.

To liberate your life from worry forever you'll need to use every feeling and emotion inside you to burn through the dreaming pattern. You'll need to use every obstacle, problem and crisis happening in your life as FUEL to awaken from the dream. It doesn't mean the mind will ever stop dreaming, you just won't be wrapped up in it. That is why painful feelings are a part of life. They wake you and shake you up so that you eventually step back from the dream. Nobody wakes up when life is emotionally comfortable and cozy. They merely fall into deeper sleep.

When you realize how you can use the mind, you are no longer used by it. Every wonderful and horrible feeling becomes like rocket fuel needed to propel you beyond your deeply embedded patterns. Eventually you will stop believing in the mind's illusions, however the only way out of the mind is to go through it. The reward you'll get is a permanent state of gratitude, feeling loved, at peace and completely free! Transcending the mind is the greatest liberation you can experience, and is the main reason why you signed up for this lifetime.

Slow Down Please...

noreply@blogger.com (Alice Hoo) — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 04:18:27 PDT

An Angel says, 'Never borrow from the future.
If you worry about what may happen tomorrow and it doesn't happen, you have worried in vain.
Even if it does happen, you have to worry twice.'

So my dear, what you can do to live your life to the fullest?

1. Pray
2. Go to bed on time.
3. Get up on time so you can start the day unrushed.
4. Say 'No' to projects that won't fit into your time schedule, or that will compromise your mental health.

5. Delegate tasks to capable others.
6. Simplify and unclutter your life.
7. Less is more. (Although one is often not enough, two are often too many, don't be greedy)
8. Allow extra time to do things and to get to destinations.

9. Pace yourself. Spread out big changes and difficult projects over time; don't lump the hard things all together.

10. Take one day at a time.

11. Separate worries from concerns.

Sometimes, a situation is a concern, find out what God would have you do and let go of the anxiety. If you can't do anything about a situation, forget it, leave it to Him.

12. Live within your budget; don't use credit cards for ordinary purchases, don't borrow from the future.
13. Have backups; an extra car key in your wallet, an extra house key buried in the garden, extra stamps, etc.
14. K.M.S. (Keep Mouth Shut). This single piece of advice can prevent an enormous amount of trouble.
15. Do something for the 'Kid in You' everyday. Don't be afraid to cry, laugh, play.
16. Carry a spiritually enlightening book with you to read while waiting in line.
17. Get enough rest.
18. Eat right.
19. Get organized so everything has its place.
20.. Listen to a tape while driving that can help improve your quality of life.

Take a break....hah...alright, keep on reading....

21. Write down thoughts and inspirations in a journal.
22. Every day, find time to be alone.
23. Having problems? Talk to God on the spot. Try to nip small problems in the bud. Don't wait until it's time to go to bed to try and pray when you're tired and sleepy.
24. Make friends with Godly people.
25.. Keep a folder of favorite bible scriptures on hand.
26. Remember that the shortest bridge between despair and hope is often a good 'Thank you Jesus .'
27. Laugh.
28. Laugh some more!
29. Take your work seriously, but not yourself at all.
30. Develop a forgiving attitude (most people are doing the best they can).

Cannot remember all these, no worry, you don't need to. You will only remember those are necessary for you! :D

31. Be kind to unkind people (they probably need it the most).
32. Sit on your ego.
33. Talk less; listen more - and show it.
34. Slow down.
35. Remind yourself that you are not the general manager of the universe.
36. Every night before bed, think of one thing you're grateful for, that you've never been grateful for before.

GOD ALWAYS HAS A WAY OF TURNING THINGS AROUND FOR YOU.

'If God is for us, who can be against us?'

Expressing Through Words

noreply@blogger.com (Alice Hoo) — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 02:32:54 PDT

Today when I am busy to handling some of the emails that I need to reply. I am preparing my angel workshop information, and my heart is blossoming the feeling of love.

I stop eating chocolate cookies since a year ago. I used to eat it almost every week. And today, I just so in the "mood" to buy myself a pack of choc cookies. Just like a mum buying the candies for her children.

When I am walking back to my office, the sense of joy and self-love grow stronger with every step I walk. Hmm...such a wonderful feeling that I had not experienced. And I realize, loving myself is not only the food indulgence, it is something like you respect yourself to move on the direction you prefer, love to hug yourself (I used to feel weird to hear somebody hug themselves), buying yourself favorite cookies or flowers, reading the books that bring you joy. Well, all of these actions radiates the feeling of self gratitude, self appreciation, and self inspiration.

For me, writing blog is one of my favorite self-love action. I am not a kind of person will say love through my mouth, but normally show by action. One of the love I give to myself is writing my feelings in journal and blog. I have many clients know about who I am, my feelings and thoughts from my blogs. And I realize, I am easier to express my emotion and love through words.

I remember one of my childhood incident, I was unhappy with one of the teacher in school, and I was deeply stressed by the school teaching culture. I hoped I can transfer to another high school with a loving study environment. I did not dare to bring this concern to my parents. What I did was, I wrote a letter to my dad at that night, about how I think for my study, and I told them what I truly hope to do in school.

Guess what, finally, I was successfully to be allowed to enroll into another high school. And the outcome was loving, peace, and harmony. I remember my dad even pat my shoulder and said this to me that I will never forget,

"No matter what is the problems, papa and mama always are here with you, to support anything you want to do. Just freely say it out."

Of course, I bursted out in tears. It is the tears of joy and affirmation.

Every now and then, I write letter to myself, no matter is for encouraging, shore up my faith, or keep my spirit high. I found strength in expressing myself through words. :) Last few days, I found a letter that I wrote on last year which was written for my future self. I took out the letter and read it.

Again, it brings tears and love to myself. From the thought I had in last year, now I can use a new eyes to see the past and suddenly everything becomes clearer and seems like a blessing in disguise. No matter it is a good thing or bad thing that happen in our life, God has a purpose for it. Don't rush to unwrapped this gift, let it shows to you by the perfect timing. I always believe, when I do not know what to do, God always knows what He is doing.

So, I have faith that everything is working out perfectly as it is supposed to. All is well and let us live our life in the fullest way.

God blesses you, my dear. :)

Last but not least, a song I want to dedicate to you. "A letter to myself", sing by Angela Aki, named as Temagi. All the best ~

You Deserve the Best

noreply@blogger.com (Alice Hoo) — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 21:08:23 PDT

I come across many emails and phone calls about the news of people passing and move on, making new life, changing jobs, getting married, and I am here just good enough to receive those messages.

Life is a continuous journey. Sometimes the outcome of an event may seems like "the end". Well, I have another perspective to perceive those "ending". They simply tell me, wonderful and new things just come in now. "Be patient." I told myself. Things are getting better and more align to what I desire.

Two days ago, I was thinking some wishes and prayers I prayed about 6 months ago. Since I have a God Box, there is where I mail my letter to God. I open up those little messages that I wrote to God. I just could not believe that, my wishes all granted in the very loving and better ways that I cannot imagine.

When you can't get something, simply because God wants to give you the better one. :)

Of course, many wishes and prayers still on God's way. And I have the patient and faith to cope with my life. Now, I tell myself to focus on the intention of love during my morning prayer.

If your problems seem not way out. Hold on, go back to your intention. What you intend to have in your life right now?

When I think about problems, I asked myself, "When I think about problems, will they grant me the feeling of love?" "No." Alright, then I leave it to God and angels. Every moment when things seems "something wrong", I ground myself back to my intention (Love, peace, joy). Ask yourself,

"What I intend to create? So, what can I do now?"

Surprisingly, things are getting better, wonderful and loving people come into my life every moment when I focus on my intention of love. Up until I have no time to think about problems or lacking. It just not worth to give credits to problems. Many left over and keep-in-view projects of mine are now kicked start.

So, this morning when I sit on my office table, I tell myself, "Hey, you look happier."

"Yeah, I think so."

"So what you have done and what you have learned so far?" I questioned myself.

"I no longer need to cling on the feeling of wanting to know the answer. I can let it go in peace. After I let the old go, I welcome the new. I find that life is much easier, lighter, and happier now."

There is nothing more important to listen to yourself and live on the conviction you think. People will respect you when you follow your heart. It is not that easy at first. Trust me, you will enjoy the self respect after you come out from the perspective of "pleasing people", "follow people", or "try to be good"....and some other roles of pleasing people.

Now I learned.

No one can please you, only yourself.

No one can have power to take charge your life, only yourself.

You have the power to control your destiny. Don't give it to others. Live it in faith and love. Soon you will see the fruits of your efforts.

Alone - The Journey of Self Healing...

noreply@blogger.com (Alice Hoo) — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 03:26:38 PDT

Many of us are so afraid of "loneliness", there is an emptiness within our heart. It needs family, friends, money, and many things to fill it up. But once you lost all of these, this little place seems collapse.

Only when you allow yourself to go into this "dark" place, you realize, there is "nothing" inside. It simply a feeling of insecure that hunted you. Bringing love and light into this place, and you will find a self healing is something beautiful.

There is no need to fear, when you think God has taken away the one you love most...He simply wants you to know that, you can grow up without relying on anyone or anything. Once you have learned, every beautiful thing come back as soon as you can see.

There is something bigger is showing to you, just like that....

It is nothing to fear when you are alone...

Soon you'll find, the loneliness doesn't last long, it simply a pit stop for you to rest, and then MOVE ON to a new destiny...

The Self Healing Journey...

noreply@blogger.com (Alice Hoo) — Sun, 09 Oct 2011 21:27:43 PDT

When I look at this quote, I feel so much peace. This week, I work closely with Archangel Michael on my self healing, especially those emotions that no longer serves me, such as self blame, guilt, I am not good enough, and any others negative belief.

I know there are plenty of us have this inner evil that pull us here and there. We are just like the little puppet of these kind of beliefs. And thanks God, Angel Michael points this to me and give me a chance to heal it by love.

My life difficulties give me opportunities to heal myself and walk out from those emotional abuse. We grow up from different families and most probably, we are influenced deeply from our parents or guardians. There are many good things our parents give for us, meanwhile, there are also some old thinking patterns may tied us from expressing our true self.

"There is nothing wrong with our childhood trauma and phobias, those factors only provide a platform for us to heal from it." I remember Archangel Michael affirms me whenever I call for his help.

There are times I almost give up on the challenges that I faced in life. I was thinking I no longer had the ability to move on. What I do when I was upset by difficulties is to pray. I am not that kind of superstitious person, but I found the practice of praying always grant me the peace of mind, just like someone special from above is listening what I feel in heart. It is like a practice I throw my worry to a trash bin and absolutely rely on the nature to bring me strength. Surprisingly, the outcome always delights me.

The quotes that I attached in this post teaches me to see the positive side of everything. When someone try to criticize or blame you. Take a deep breath, the battle is never about you, but it is arisen within themselves. If you can walk away from all these emotional abuses that caused by the external environment and continuously focus on gratitude and love, only those things radiate with love are drawn to you in the peaceful way.

God blesses you everyday. I pray that you have a marvelous future and rise above from any circumstances.

I can do it.

You can do it.

We all can do it. ;)

The Law of Love

noreply@blogger.com (Alice Hoo) — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 22:55:30 PDT

Everytime when I sit in the cafe and having my lunch. I like to observe the pedestrians that walk pass the side walk through the glass window. And, I realize different people carry with their different expressions. They can be a large group of colleague walk together and go for lunch, or a sweet couple holding their hands and walk pass, or he could be an old man look up to the sly and seems like thinking something else...

I hold on the book "The Power" on my hand, and I read about what the author Rhonda Byrne has share in her book.

"The law of attraction is the law of love, and it is the all-powerful law that keeps everything in harmony, from countless galaxies to atoms. It is operating in everything and through everything in the Universe. And it is the law that is operating in your life."

Hmm...those words are true enough in our life. In this Universe, that is a law that governs love. So, if you are keen to have the positive force of love in order to change your life, then please understand this law. There is the most powerful law that exist here and everywhere, the law of attraction.

This attraction itself is the force of love. Why I say so? Look, under the working of law, attraction is the power that draws people from this city to that city, and then they fall in love, and form their family. You may see couple, husband from California and the wife from Boston. And then, you may see this law draws people who share their common interest into the same place. The singer who meet the pianist, the hip hop lover meet up with large group of dancer in dancing school, so and so forth.

Attraction is the force that draw you to your favourite things and places, and it's the force that draws you to your friends and the people you love. And attraction is love. When you feel an attraction to your favourite food, you are feeling love for that food. So, if we without attraction, we would not feel anything. You would not know what you love and what you don't love, because you would not be attracted to anything at all. Your life will not lead you to certain people, clubs, school, hobbies, or cities.

Everything is consisted within the force of love, and through your feeling, you can feel it.

Resist it or Welcome it?

You may have your preference and other may have their own as well. Mostly, people tend to think that

"I must get this then I can only be happy."

"I must have this status then I can only feel complete."

"I must have a new home then I can only have the satisfaction."

....

and of course you can add on the list if you want.

The point is, the law of attraction is always working under the thought and feeling that you send out. When you complain about you don't have this thing, is this complain bring you better or worse? Complain is a kind of resistance, and it means you do not like what the Universe has brought to you.

If it brings you joy, then you can keep complaining...as I know no one who likes to blame yet can feel the joy and happiness.

If it doesn't bring you any good feeling (joy, happiness, love, peace, harmony), then silently tell yourself,

"I recognize I am surrounded by this feeling that does not bring me good, I accept it with love and light from my heart, and now I choose to let it go. Thank you."

Take few deep breath and open your arm to welcome what had left your body and know that good is coming.

After this, affirm yourself with a power that rise within the center of your body.

"Everything is fine and all is well. I choose to walk into love and peace, by my intention of love, I know the Universe is bringing me all the good into my life. I give thanks to it."

When you say this, continue feeling as if you "already" have the things that you want. And follow your gut and swift your attention to something else that bring you good feeling.

Whenever I need to write my blog, I will bring my journals and notebook to my favourite cafe just in the down-stair of my office. I know I can write my blog in my office, however, I feel the good feeling with the aroma of the coffee, even though I am not a regular coffee drinker. That space and environment brings me joy and the ideas of writing just flow freely from then.

Sometimes, when things seems difficult, I pause on to do everything and just go for a slow walk, either drive my car with my dog or go to a park. It brings me clearer insight and eliminate my ego self to "react" rather than "response" from my higher self.

Of course, the path of joy is a journey. It neverr about a destination. It is a self mastery journey that keep you examine yourself with the intention of love, as always.

May God and angels bless and protect you.

Have a beautiful Friday!

Comes The Dawn

noreply@blogger.com (Alice Hoo) — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 01:48:09 PDT

This poem is absolutely beautiful, and I would like to share with you here. Have a marvelous day.

Remember, the future is always awesome, defeat somehow is an ugly wrapped gift in life. Have your patience, give yourself time, and unwrap it. It is indeed is a beautiful and bountiful present given by God.

I love you! :)

Comes The Dawn

By Veronica A. Shoffstall

After a while you learn the subtle difference
between holding a hand and chaining a soul.

You learn that love doesn’t mean leaning
and company doesn’t mean security.

You begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts
and presents aren’t promises.

You begin to accept your defeats
with your head up and your eyes open
with the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child.

You learn to build all your roads on today,
because tomorrow’s ground is too uncertain for plans,
and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight.

After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much.

So you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul,
instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.

You learn that you really can endure,
that you really are strong, and you really do have worth.

You learn and learn, with every goodbye you learn.

Thank You to Save Me, Archangel Michael...

noreply@blogger.com (Alice Hoo) — Sun, 02 Oct 2011 23:10:00 PDT

The book that I carry this morning...

This morning when I prepare to my office, an inner voice tell me to carry a book that I bought in Australia, "The Miracles of Archangel Michael". I slip the book in my beg and get into my car.

When I drive almost reach the road junction nearby my house, maybe I was not aware there is a car that drive very fast heading to my direction. When I just drive into the main lane, suddenly a loud and clear sound, "Hornnnn....."I was shocked by this sudden car that came out from no where, I do not know what to do as I can only see that car almost bang into my driver seat and a strong voice in my head just shout at me, "Press on throttle and drive out from here." I just press hardly on the gas pedal and....shooo...I saw that car immediately bounce off from my car. The distance between our car is less than 3 inches. I don't know how....but we were saved from banging each other.

When I realized I was almost hit badly, I was shocked and stunned, breath very quickly. I only know my heart was pounding fast and my mouth just keep repeat saying,"Thank you Angel Michael, Thank you Angel Michael, Thank you Angel Michael." And I don't even conscious about what I was talking about at that moment...

Up until when I get back my whole attention in the previous few second, the other car driver was shocked and he look at me and worry about whether or not I am ok. Since we do not know why his car just suddenly bounce off from the main lane and cast into the side lane . I asked myself, "Can anyone tell me what is happening?" At that moment, that words still keep repeating in my mouth, "Thank you Angel Michael. Thank you Angel Michael."

Finally, I only realized, that little voice shouted in my head is Angel Michael. By rational, I should step on my break pedal to avoid the accident, but that voice urge me to drive on immediately, and then, the next scene I saw the other car bounce away from me. "I am so lucky, thank you Angel Michael."

After I left that place, I saw the other car still stopped on that place, I saw the tire trail was mark on the road, then I only feel the horrible fear. I could not imagine what will happen on me if that car just hit right into the direction of my driver seat. "I was saved. Thanks God and Angel Micheal." I keep on calm myself and press on my heart .

Just when I step into the cafe, I put down my beg, and I took out the book that I carry with me this morning, "The Miracles of Archangel Michael". I sooner understand, Micheal are there with me all the time, including, he knows I would be hurt by that accident this morning. That book somehow become my talisman. I could not thanks you enough, Angel Michael. You are so powerful! Thank you for saving me from that life and death situation.

I love you! Michael.

Dreams On The Sand (Part 2)

noreply@blogger.com (Alice Hoo) — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 03:52:14 PDT

"I am blessed." I told myself silently when we ride the speed boat to jetty. Her words like the ink mark on my heart. The grace of those message somehow just like God send His messenger to me, which is the message from my friends. They show me, what is it about making a stand for my dream. If the harmony family is my dream, then I got to protect it. Nothing else, but it is time to making a stand for the truth that I believe in my heart.

I used to reject it, and I thought to find the other route to accomplish a new harmony home. Yet, I doubted sometimes, am I on the right path? Why when I decided to move on, that "move on" somehow is shown in different way unexpectedly. And I hold the bible, asking God to give me His wiser wisdom. Indeed, He shows me, He wants me to make a stand for my dream just like what my friend told me. I got to protect my stand on this broken family. I need to stay strong and courageous. Only Love can heal yourself and those involved.

It takes lots of courage for me to walk back to my broken marriage and family. How am I gonna to make it? When I decided to go for legal procedure, why God pull me back? And I learn from this lesson, speak the truth from my heart no matter what. Never thinking to stand on the "good" for others or try to think for others. You would not know what is good for anyone else, especially those is the one you love. There is only one person you need to be honest, that is yourself.

I reflect many lessons that I have gone through within these three months. It is like a long season of winter. Sometimes the cool wind in the winter just like the fierce lion, almost blown away my dream and passion. I am like a small tiny angel carries my wings and keep moving on. The things that keep me warmth, is my faith and the grace of angel. Also, prayer just work together with the law of attraction. It draws what I need and what I truly want.

I was hurt deeply by the emotion of my loved one, I asked many times, "Should I continue?" "Why not I just walk the other easy path, divorce?" And Angels heard my prayers - Harmony family, They wake me up in the middle of night, wanted me to confront the fear that keep hoarding me, "Talk, you need to talk, you need to tell the truth in your heart. No one will know, until you share it out." My palm is sweating, shaking, and the fear seems paralyze my movement. At last, I said it out to my loved one about the marriage and my care and love. No preparation, only my intention of love. I can only share and like throw out what stucked in my heart and lung for so long. After all...huh...I sleep well from then on...

Cross over from self healing to healing others...

Huh...finally, I did it. I started feel lighter when I allow myself to speak the truth from my inner heart. Speaking out your truth do not need anyone's approval. I understand sometimes you may question like,"Oh, what if he or she not allow me to say?"

Well, what I can say is, "Risk it and try it." And angels also teach me, "love is giving out and do not expect. Simply let it flow..."

Angels bring me into this trip, They give me the opportunity to learn the different perspective from my support group. Angels know what my support group can teach me. And yes, they give me the chance of self-healing when the moment I heal their emotions.

I do not plan what I can share and teach for them, even though they came out from my Angel Workshop. Somehow, when I allow them to teach me, when I open my arm to receive their love, things started become very different. I no longer need to control or take charge of how things will happen. When I with them, they give me the total free space to ease myself, to express my inner truth.

The most touching, dreams on the sand...

Irene brings some firework that we can play on the beach. In this trip, we all feel like Angels guide us to do what we mean to do. That night when we finish dinner, we walk to the beach and draw a big heart on the sand. Within the heart, we are simply nudges by our feelings to write on our dreams in it. There are "love, peace, joy, harmony, health, happiness..."

We poke the firework surround the shape of the heart and light it on. Amazingly, when all the firework stick was lighted on, I was touched completely, I could not describe anything by words, all just a kind of feeling of love, joy, and peace...

We all write on our dream on Mother Earth, and I know She sees our dreams, and everything starts to become better and better.

Thank you my dearest buddies, Irene, Becky, Meu, Siew Wen, and Poh Ling one more time.

I could not believe how can I cope if you guys are not here with me

I honestly love you all! As always. :)

Dreams On The Sand

noreply@blogger.com (Alice Hoo) — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 00:09:59 PDT

Dream, dream, dream...

Wishes, Hope, and Love...Let's us embrace just in this moment when you read here. Let the words and the pure love goes into your heart. Knowing that I love you here.

I just went back from Pangkor Laut Resort, a private and luxury retreat journey that I walk together with my friends. They are awesome, lovely, caring, and honest. We enjoy the moment God sends to us. We are vibrating in the frequency of Love. This frequency is high and light, when it radiates in our heart. We heal each other.

This trip is means to be...

Having two months of preparation, finally we gather each other and make this trip happen. I rejected Irene at the first place when she invited me two months ago. I gave my self the reason is, no time, save money...and I need to spend time alone.

Unexpectedly, God and angels always there to nudge me, end up, this bunch of friends just keep urge me to join them. What most touching me is, they visualize I will be there with them in this trip. They hope I can share my angelic inspiration with them. Wow, what else can I reject this love. Of course nothing else, I made up my mind, and I go with them finally...Yeah, their visualization come true. :)

Well, we have six girls in this trip. We all go through our journey with different routes. And yet, what most precious is, we speak the same "language" and we vibrate the same "frequency". That is the language of Gratitude, and the frequency of Love, Joy, Peace and Harmony.

There are many miraculous angel signs keep happens with us during our trip. There are plenty of angels signs, feathers fell on our books or novels when we stay in the resort, feather fly pass us when we are in the moment of sharing.

During one of our photo session, a feather just fly pass six of us, and fall on the paddy field. And we just so happy to see that Angels are here with us, and the sign They give us is strong and clear. I love you, my sweet angels.

Different stories, different sparks of life...

I treat this trip as my retreat. I remember in the first day, I wake up early and say a prayer,

"God, if there is anything you want me to learn and give in this trip, please guide me to. Help me to learn from this group of friends. May you protect everyone of us have a save trip. Be there with us, God. I love you!"

And definitely, this trip is arranged perfectly well and comfortable. As I keep telling myself,

All is well. All is well. All is well.

Yes, it is. We reach the jetty on the perfect time, we get on time to have our wonderful meals in the nice restaurant with friendly servants. We see peacock walking across us when we have meal, we enjoy the peace scenery that flush through my mind. At that moment, nothing else is more important that the inner peace. That peace open new door for us, things started getting clearer, people started getting nicer, food started getting more delicious, and wind blow in my cheek. I laugh in the joy of my lovely companionship of this group of lovely friends.

We laugh because we love to laugh, and we love to say "Thank You" :)

Poh Ling is one of the lovely one always laugh when she shares. She shows us the different perspective of "laugh".

Many of us try to find something to make them laugh, maybe funny movies clips, jokes or humor people. No need. We don't need to cling on all this external things anymore, we can laugh when we see things in the eyes of child. We can laugh when car broke down, laugh on our fools, laugh on our embarrassment, or simple laugh when we feel to laugh.

That moment is absolutely awesome.

Making a stand to Love Yourself

We all deserve good things our life want to give us. Mostly, the changes and adjustments in our transitions caused us uneasy and even we try to imagine "bad" things may seems to happen.

God knows what you desire even before you asked. He knows what is the best things you want in your life. Yes, we have the moment when things getting blurred and we seems stucked in the dark tunnel.

Irene told me, "Don't let your fear grab your Power. There is God and Angels always there for you. Pray, and let God arrange all these to you. He knows what is the best for you. When you asked, He will show you how to take the next step. Alice, everytime when I do not know how to make that business work, I pray, and He really shows the guidance to me, and I make it everytime."

I see the changes in her, we met each others one year ago. Irene becomes calmer, wiser, and she has the absolute Faith that I always teaching about. Her faith is irresistible. And this faith shows the success route to her and she manage to walk out from her darkest time.

"I am blessed." I told myself silently when we ride the speed boat to jetty. Her words like the ink mark on my heart. The grace of those message somehow just like God send His messenger to me, the message from my friends. They show me, what is it about making a stand for your dream. If the harmony family is my dream, then I got to protect it. Nothing else, but it is time to making a stand for the truth that I believe in my heart.

Thank you my dearest buddies, Irene, Becky, Meu, Siew Wen, and Poh Ling.

I honestly love you all! As always. :)

My Norway Travel Journal (Part 2)

Getting the funds finally.....

After all things arranged, I booked accommodation and try to arrange transport when I reach Norway. Well, perfect arrangement and blessed things always work out after all. Hmm, I am very grateful for God treats me kind.

Only remaining 3 weeks, I will take off to London. Yet, my bank account still have not shown any amount of money that I can spend. Again, I claim my faith and live the best that I can everyday.

After I enjoy the long holiday of Chinese New Year, I go back to work. The first day in my appointment list, I saw a familiar name. Jon, he is one of my regular client. We met up in one of the cafe, and when we finish our reading session. He requested me, "Is there anything I can help you financially? I mean if you have any project either you want to conduct in local or oversea, just let me know. I can financially support you." At that moment, I could not believe, hey, he is the answer of my prayer.

I told Jon about my trip in London and Norway, and I need the travel funds to spend on my trip. He does not question much, he just jot down the information and asking me the amount of money that I need. At that moment, things just happened like the "Twilight"....magic!!

I am so happy and after that session, I called my husband and share this blessing with him. How good is everything just follow the trail and unfold perfectly.

After a week, I received all the funds. I start packing my luggage (It is just so excited to count down the date when I fly off), and I print out my itinerary. I am blessed, I have my husband and family to support me, they giving me the courage and encouragement to step on this country I have never been, yet looking it for so many years. After 3 month of struggling between the "Should I..." and "Should I not...?" Now, things happen!

The day in Airport

The previous night before I fly off, I could not sleep. I heard the snore of my husband, and my mind is just wandering to the vision when I conduct Angel Reading in London, I see myself taking the pictures of churches, I see myself standing on the snow, I see myself standing cool in the dark place to watch the Northern Light. My heart is beating fast, I looked on to my husband, silently give thanks to Life. I have all I need, it is time for me to trust myself, to go on and find the myth of northern light, to stretch out my hand to help some others in the new countries. This is the dream that I longing for. I told myself silently.

My husband fetches me to airport in the early morning, we have our breakfast in the cafe at the entrance of airport. I am nervous, since I have never take a flight journey that spend for more than 10 hours. Yeap, this is my first time and I even need to do it alone.

After I checked in my luggage, me and hubby waiting in the lounge. Suddenly, I have the sour feeling rush through my heart. In my God's Box, I wish this trip can make it together with him. Due to our budget, he chooses to give me the chance to go and experience this journey.

Before I walk into boarding gates, we hug each other and saying good bye. I know I am gonna to miss him and our family crazy!

On the flight

What I always looking for in the cabin is the "FOOD". After my lunch with a barbeque chicken set, I start reading my book, try to spend the 12 hours in the flight. I pray to God, gives me a safe trip, help me to ease my nervousness.

I took a photo when the fly attendants point a volcano that just locate below us.

Do Your Best, and God Does The Rest

noreply@blogger.com (Alice Hoo) — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 20:34:11 PDT

Almost three years has passed, and yesterday when I took out all of my Angel Reading journals, I found that it is mean for me to read back those journals.

I have a bunch of self discovery journals, diaries, angel channeling messages that I have kept for three years and still seeking the courage to post it on my blog. Yesterday, when I say a prayer,

"Divine Intelligence, open the path for me, to express my full talents and unique abilities in the right place, give me the definite leads, guide my act according to the divine will. Thank you and I honestly love you."

This morning while I was driving to work, a hunch feeling says to me, "Why don't you compile all your journals and make it as a book? You may help many others that need this information. God never reveals something to you if those messages do not serve you. All you need, is a climbing faith. It is an uphill climb. Most people give up their will just in the middle of this climb. Learn not to reason something you want to do, as reason can only go so far, but your faith has no limits. Only when you keep believing, and listen to the truth in your heart. Sooner you find the inner bliss to guide you and nudge you along the way. I know this is hard for you, but come on! You cannot experience cool when you have never been in warm, you cannot recognize light, when you have not experience darkness. Put your whole faith and conviction on light and love. Only Light can lead you out from this tunnel. It is really all about ACT ON FAITH. Let no one teach you what you can or cannot do, but do the best that you can, and know that God surely does the rest."

At that point, I sit in the car, this inner voice and hunch just like the fresh water, wash through my heart, my mind, and my soul. I could not believe I was touch by a Power. I gain strength when I listen to my inner voice.

I parked my car and I walk into a cafe having my breakfast, the flow of inner message just continue running on my heart ceaselessly.

I tell myself silently, "Just do what you can, believe the truth in your heart is God's definite lead. Abraham Lincoln listened to it and won the battle of slave trade, Washington follow it and get himself walked out from difficulties. You cannot be wrong, if all your thinking is right on course. Just trust."

Yeap, may be you may think. Well, it is good to say and hear this. But listen, I am not here to convince you what I experience is a fact or is simply my thought from my subconscious mind. But what I try to say here is, there is a Power, lies within every single things and take charge of every form. This Power you can named it as Cosmic Energy, Universe, God, Creator...

If you really pray sincerely, using the right intentions (Love, Joy, Happiness, Abundance, Well). You got to believe, this Power starts to emerge Itself and show the miracles in your life. It happens in my life many times. I have a Attraction List that I keep with me, whenever Law of Attraction gives things that I asked for, I write down my gratitude message in this little journal. When I focus on all the good and blessings in my life, Power flows into every affairs of my life.

You can have what you dream of, when you set your intention right on course. Do your best, God sooner shows you the rest. Never give up on your dream, you may be surprised, it comes in the most unexpected moment. This is for sure I know!

I salute the divinity in everyone of you, God bless your life. :)

My Norway Travel Journal (Part 1)

noreply@blogger.com (Alice Hoo) — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 22:46:07 PDT

I was wondering, where my Norway's journal was put after I came back. I refer to my picture gallery, and try to searching my travel pictures that I took on my trip.

Yes, it is all about Norway. This morning when I start my brand new day, I say some positive affirmations and a silent prayer. A deep profound inner voice came and guide me to post my journal when I wrote in Norway here.

How my Norway's journey started...

Hmm...when I recall all the way back to February this year, this is how this glimpse of thought finally came true to me. That was a friend of mine who studies in London, and had invited me to her place and visit the beauty of London. Well, London is one of my dream place that I wish to go, I used to have a chance to study in UK. Due to the high maintenance and study fees, I gave up the opportunity during my time in college.

This time, I decided to buy my fly ticket to London, things seems started to work out. During that moment of prepare my trip, I was facing financial difficulties, and I worried about how can I cope with my travel fares. Few weeks later, many clients suggest me doing Angel Reading for the Londoner. This idea was not make sense to me at that time. I prayed to God and Angels, hopefully I can gain the insight on what to do next. And God heard my prayer, 2 days later I went on to a gathering from my leadership support group, a friend heard about my trip, he offers his help and make some arrangement for me to do Angel Reading session in Liverpool, London. At that time, I was amazed how things worked out after all.

However, this is only one part from the whole picture. God always does everything in most harmonious way. My flight ticket shown the date to fly off was on 16 March, and during the second week of February, I was become panic and still finding the solutions to cope for my travel fees. At that point, an affirmative thought flashed in, "If God let me successfully buy my air ticket to London, surely He will show me the rest of what I need on this trip. All I need is to live the fullest on today, the next clue will unfold just at the right time. I can do it, I can do it, and I surely can do it." I silently affirm myself, the firm and inner steadiness gave me the strength to live on.

I started to practice what I learn from the film - The Secret, and I started to read the travel hot spot and articles about London, I put all of my attention and focus only to my bliss and joy. And I start to plan my itinerary, yet, due to my limited information and I need some final confirmations on my Angel Reading appointment in London, I decided to write a letter to God and Angels. I write down what I need in this letter and put into my God's box,

Dear God,

Thank you for helping me all this while, you know I am going to fly off soon to London. God, please help me to plan my London's itinerary, I also wish to visit Scotland and Ireland during this trip. I need Your divine guidance that can guide me accordingly.

Thank you God, and I honestly love you!

Love,
Alice

God's box is one of my visulization tools that I found it bring a great impact for all my dreams can come true. Many clients find that "Visualization" allows their imagination turn into reality. And, it can manifest as accurate as you think about.

So, I asked Angels to send my letter to God, and I let go of my worry and doubt. I patiently do my daily appointments, writing blog and some angel healing articles. Until one evening, my cell phone rang while I reached home. A client of mine would like to bring a friend from Norway and she was keen to have an Angel Reading session before she get off. I booked a slot for her, and that was how I met this client.

Georgia is one of the mental healer in Norway, Oslo. We met each other and her Angel Reading session was done as usual and surprisingly our energy exchange during the session was easy and clear. She has a strong connection with Angels. After the session, we have a cup of coffee and I found out that she also teaches children in Norway. And she strongly encouraged me to make my effort to visit Norway as this may be a good chance for me to explore her teaching for children.

I have a dream, I always desire to teach children about angels, visualization and believing on the good side of everything. Her invitation was ringing on my mind during the rest of the night. I always wish I can visit Norway, as since my 16 years old. I read a magazine named as "Newton", it introduces everything about northern light, officially named as aurora borealis. It also open a new landscape for me to understand this piece of land, Norway. And this wish was kept in my heart for more than 15 years.

I know there is nothing too good to be true, who knows this could be God answered my prayer. In the law of attraction, when the Universe gives you what you desires, please open yourself to receive. Yes, because of this, I claim my faith, I made my effort to book my flight ticket to Norway. Again, I make it done and arrange my accommodation in Oslo, Norway.

The Power and Light in Your Heart

noreply@blogger.com (Alice Hoo) — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 07:52:50 PDT

Today when I go for my hair do, my hair stylist was busy attending his clients while I was waiting in the lounge. I was looking around, this is his second hair saloon since two years ago.

During my turn, we usually have our casual chit-chat. And I get to know his changes in life and some new planning for the next year.

He is one of the guy has strong faith. He has gone through the moment when he was betrayed by business partner, business running down, insufficient capital to move on, and disagreement from others.

However, the new and refreshed him is totally different. He carries a bright smile on his face, we talk about buying new houses, and he is planning to get marry with his partner. In my heart, I pray for him. He is blessed and grateful. I feel so comfortable when we talk to each other, the feeling that I experienced now is different compares to the moment of his downturn.

I asked him, "do you still read "The Secret"?"

"Ya, very much, Now I read her new book, The Power."

"Great." I said.

"Now I remind myself to be positive, I do a vision board. Do you know, things that I paste on my vision board started happen in my life, it is truly amazing."

"Good to you!" I smiled and said.

He is the one willing to follow the truth that he perceives in his heart. This is what I always encourage people to do so.

You got to believe the deep voice that comes from your heart. Sometimes when things are not working out, calm yourself and be poised. Only a balanced and calm heart can perceive the divine truth.

Everyday, spend time to go for a slow walk, swimming, reading an inspiring book, or talk to God and Angels. You will somehow find the "Inner Light" shines in your heart. This light can warm you when you cool, protect you when you fear, leading you when you lost.

There are always a Power and Light watch over you, it is just like the light house, leading the lost boat back to the harbor. This Light is there for you, ever since the moment you was born.

Have faith, be calm, and poised. Things are getting better and better. Remember, God always hear your prayer and He is walking this journey with you. Don't be afraid, all is well! :)

When There is No Way, God will Make a Way!

NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE

Nothing is impossible
With the Lord in our lives
He causes doors to open
So we can walk inside

To brand new opportunities
We never knew before
To a new exciting level
In our walk with the Lord

With faith in our hearts
And our hand in His hand
We can cross any canyon
And through seas on dry land

For He will make a way
As in faith our walk begins
What seems to us impossible
Is possible with Him

When feeling like it’s all too much
Remember in the past
How God had made a way for you
When you came to Him and asked

And He again will answer you
And show you so much more
As you keep on trusting Him
And walking with the Lord

I Persist Without Exception!

noreply@blogger.com (Alice Hoo) — Fri, 02 Sep 2011 00:20:12 PDT

I expect miracles in my life because faith produces them every single day.

For me, faith will always be a sounder guide than reason because reason can only go so far. Yet, faith has no limits. I expect miracles in my life because faith produces them every single day. I will believe in the future that I do not see. That is faith. And the reward of this faith is to see the future that I believed.

I remember how I go through this journey when I had nothing. The capital to run a small office, time to go for spiritual practicing, and at that time. I think I was lucky enough, I did not think about all of these, but only contain a strong and purposeful faith that I have.

It is not that easy when everyone in your surrounding disagree on your bold step. I did not know where is my courage came from, but I did it. And, I was able to cross over it until today. And I know the one you are reading here, you can make it THROUGH just like me.

Have you thought about how long must a child try to walk before he actually does so? Do you think you have more strength than a child? More wisdom? More dreams? How long must I work to succeed before I actually do so? A child would never ask the question, for the answer does not matter. By persisting without exception, my outcome, my success is assured at my hand.

In the bible once said, in Jeremiah, Creator declares,"For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Too much time I spent doubting my beliefs and believing my doubts. No more! I have faith in my future and my dreams. I no longer look left or right try to seek the permissions from others but only myself. I look forward. I can only persist. Since, I am a person of great faith. And I know, you can do it, just like I!

God bless you, my dear! :)
Everyday I love you!
