Blessings to you this day of possibilities!

For those of you who receive the daily Soul Kiss, you'll notice that beginning today the Soul Kisses through February 15th are all based on the theme of gratitude and joy.  Gratitude, coupled with joy, are perhaps THE most powerful transformational emotions outside of love.

Maintaining focus on gratitude and embracing the emotion to the point that it is almost tangible will open doors to miracles that we cannot even begin to imagine. 

Just working with the angels to write these spiritual whispers of support brought forth great love from within at sharing such words of empowerment!  I believe this one is my favorite:

The power of gratitude is massive.
I focus on that which I am grateful.
I embrace the joy filled feelings - I am transformed.
Infinite possibilities reside in my hand -
I am limitless!

The physical world bombards us with negativity continually.  It is easy to "forget" who we are - limitless spiritual beings.  These gentle spiritual whispers of support remind us and often times truly click within us and our lives are changed - forever.  There is great power in implementing gratitude into our lives.  Gratitude is a vigorous, robust, highly influential emotion that seizes our power from the clutches of fear and joyfully returns it to us.  The empowerment brings with it our army of gratitude angels who pave the way to our divine life path. 

Gratitude is so very, very important.  I ask you to allow yourself the experience of focusing on gratitude - DAILY - throughout the next seven days.  I would be delighted to hear of the miracles that reveal themselves to you!  Please indicate whether you would like to share your experiences with the other Soul Kiss readers.  You may use our Gratitude and Joy Experience Form to let us know.

If you would like to receive the daily Soul Kiss to experience the power of a gentle reminder to implement gratitude into your daily experience, click into the Soul Kisses Spiritual Affirmations order form.

May the moments of your lives be filled with gratitude, joy and miracles...

In love and light,
Kate

Message from Big Jim
Fred and I flew to Memphis in January for a Limu conference and visited my mom while we were there. Of course I went around the house taking pictures and I wasn't disappointed.

While Big Jim was living he had a pet skunk, Alvin. Big Jim farmed soy beans, cotton, wheat and rice. When I was a child he would bring home animals that he found hurt or were hurt by the farm equipment. We would nurse them back to health and let them go. One day while working in his shop several years ago, he kept hearing a noise. Upon investigating the noise, he discovered a baby skunk - the baby's mother wasn't coming back, so Daddy bundled him up and took him to the house. He had to bottle feed the skunk, he was so young. Before long, Daddy and Alvin were inseparable. While Daddy would watch TV, Alvin would sit on his shoulder.

Alvin transitioned a few years before Daddy did. Daddy was devastated, but now they have reunited in the spiritual realm. When Daddy comes by, Alvin comes with him and plays with my poodle, Majik. They have a LOT of fun together playing, especially in the guest room throwing pillows off the bed and trashing out the covers.

Daddy and Alvin showed up together at my mom's in the image below. Here they are, reunited, Alvin on Daddy's shoulder.

Daddy is the large orb.  Alvin is the zero orb upper right.  The image to the right is Alvin while he lived in the physical world.

I was so thrilled to discover this picture of the zero orb over the larger orb in the pictures I took at my mom's house. Clearly, Alvin, still sits on Daddy's shoulder.

I must admit that thinking of Daddy as "gone" is so profoundly sad.  For those of you who have lost loved ones to transition, you know what I mean.  I grieve, cry, and just allow myself to miss him, then I pull myself together and manage to get excited at the proof that my camera shows me that he is still here with us.  And always, always acknowledge him when I see him with my mind's eye - he looks fabulous.

As you miss your loved ones, allow yourself to grieve.  Remember, we are human and we must grieve even though we know deep in our hearts that they are ok.  Grieve, then allow yourself to experience the joy of loving them and knowing that love always lives.

Big Jim's daughter,
Kate
