Hi everyone

Hoping that you are all fit and well and have had an enjoyable few weeks since the last a meeting.  One week to go until the first meeting after our break, looking forward to seeing all of you who can make it to the new venue on 4th September.

The map of Marley´s Bar is on our website (address at the foot of the message as always).   If you are lost on the day have your phone with you and contact me (number below).

The first day back to normality will be a discussion between ourselves (no speaker).   The subject was suggested to me and I believe it is a good one, hope you do to.   What we will be talking about is ´how has spirit helped us?´ and ´how has spirit helped us to help other people?´.  Probably not something you can think about in depth on the day with no warning - so, if you can, during the next week, give some thought to how spirit has helped you and how they have helped you to help others.  Even if you will not be with us next week, it might be a good subject to ponder on and, if you want to share your answers, send them to me to include in the discussion.

As you are all by now aware,  if something comes into my head I send it as it may be needed by you or someone you know.

Something I came across recently is the saying

"I can if I think I can - have hope, belief, faith and victory will follow".

Some years ago I was due to undertake a long journey on my own which involved several changes of trains, buses, cars. I was nervous !!  Shortly before the trip while in a shop I saw a drink´s mat which said "I can and I will, watch me".  I bought the mat - it´s on show in my  living room and I have read those words every day since. Hope it helps one of you if you need it.

Love to all

Hi everyone,

I know the weather is usually fairly local but I think yesterdays storms covered most of you who live in Spain.  I hope your homes and gardens are okay. Where I live it was minimum rain (one short sharp shower), but thunder for hours. You may have heard of the saying ¨Mad dogs of Englishmen go out in the midday sun¨ yesterday my daughter and I were ¨Mad dogs of Englishwomen out in the afternoon storms¨  in the garden taking photos of the amazing clouds and the lightening.  Back to the high temperatures again, but at least the humidity is less today (so far!).

www.dailyom.com

I receive a daily om and enjoy the daily subjects.  I have never gone further and taken a course, but think the words in the daily items are very interesting. Some of the most recent have been...

End the Stress Cycle

Language of the Soul

Discover who you really are

Stronger than you know

Thoughts

How to overcome Depression

The places we go.

If you don´t want to join the daily OM but would like one of those subjects forwarded for yourself or a friend, let me know.

Sorry this is turning out to be a long message - but - I opened my documents on the computer and this jumped out at me, so when that happens I forward the item.........................

A poem I found on my computer (from 2011).

DO YOU PRAY? Should you pray - to the heavens above?

Of course you should, for it´s the way to access heavenly love.

In times of need when life gets tough and you need to feel warm

The help will come through those above, to help you through the storm.

And, when life is good, and you feel at peace, give your thanks when you pray,

For those above like to know, that they helped you on your way.

And don´t forget the need to heal those less fortunate than you,

For they will help again once more, it´s what they love to do.

So prayer is good, for all these things, and love will come your way,

When we remember to ask for help, each and every day.

What goes around, comes around, when all is said and done

The love and healing, help and peace, is there for everyone.

So take the time, and always be true unto yourself

And you will find riches galore, and far greater wealth.

We are here to help each other, just reach out and ask

And you will find the help you need in each and every task.

And, in closing, I would like to say, thank you for being you

FROM US ABOVE, we give thanks, for everything you do.

----------------

Enjoy life, stay cool,

Love to all.

Hi everyone

Firstly thanks to those who wrote to me about the 8/8 portal and the significance of yesterday´s date.  Unfortunately I didn´t see the messages until this morning, but presume all the good luck and energy came to me yesterday as I booked a new venue for the group meetings.,

A few of you sent me the name of a suggested venue, Marley´s Bar and Bistro, Moraira. and I have at last found it, visited it and arranged with our new host Kevin (and his sweet little friendly dog)  for fortnightly meetings starting on 4th September.  It is a restaurant as well as a bar, he normally closes on Wednesdays but is agreeable to opening just for us and will have the bar open before and after the meetings.  But, unfortunately no food available as the chef works somewhere else on a Wednesday.

The floor space is about the same footage as our last venue but is more square than long.  It will be more than adequate for the usual number of us that attend.

Carl will be putting a map on the website and if you have any queries about how to find it let me know. The address is:

Cam. Viejo del Portet, 207, b, 03724 Teulada, Alicante

Coming to Moraira from the north, the road is opposite the gate to Paichi Garden Centre, the 2nd turn on the left after passing Aldi.  Parking is on a strip of waste land to the left and Marley's is a short walk down the slope at the back of the buildings.

The weather forecasters are telling us that this weekend will have record breaking temperatures (as if it is not hot enough already). If you are in Spain, please take care, keep safe, and try to keep cool.

Love to all, 

enjoy the weekend
