The EBWN Network Of Flowers

We come together as magnificent flowers.  We have our own pretty self but as a team we are a field of beauty for all to enjoy our own personal inner glow but the mass radiation that shines from our group as a whole.  Some inspiring questions to ask yourself are: What do your petals say about you?  Are you what we see from the outside in?  How rooted is your stock?  When you wilt or blow over, how do you get back on track?  What’s under your roots – rock, sand, water or mortar?  What do you add to the group consciousness that ignites the burning fire within you that radiates out and is part of the collective?  How do you help other flowers to blossom?

God made you perfect just the way you are.  Flowers are perfect.  We just don’t feel that way about ourselves sometimes but Flowers know no differently than to be what they are.  Others don’t treat us like we are perfect at times because what they see in someone else is really what they see in themselves.

“There came a time when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.”

Easter Love

Easter Love

April 2, 2012, By Gail McNaughton

It is a time of sharing

A time of caring

A time of eating wonderful treats

Instead of celery and red beets.

It is a magical time for children

Hunting for eggs

A time to spend in church

Tasting communion and not lake perch.

It is a time of festive parades

A time of family gatherings

Of getting together over scrumptious food

With lots of chocolate to keep a good mood.

It is a time to pour love like water

A time to invite friends over

A time to experience harmony and peace

To look at photos with nephews and many a niece.

It is a time of wonderful weather

A time for bright sky so blue

The bright sunshine will warm you all over

Enjoy a roll in the sweet smelling clover.

It is a time to notice

Nature and bunnies all around you

And being pulled out of hats

So beware of any inquisitive cats.

They are so adventurous and curious

May play tricks, scurry and run

Or hide in a hat

And magically pop out as a furry rat.

Of dear, this would scare everyone away

So if this takes place

Best grab hens and chickens

Put on your running shoes and race.

Your Easter can be spent

Anywhere you please

For me,  just pass the chiffon cake

Dripped in butter and icing sugar that you make.

We’ll have a glorious time

Sharing love with one another

So sit at God’s table with us as a guest

Enjoy your Easter dinner

And let us do the rest.

Enjoy Love, Freedom, Joy and Truth which are our highest passions for all of mankind, the animal world as well as the plant kingdom.

God Made You Perfect Just The Way You Are

God Made You Perfect Just The Way You Are

Today is a day to honour who you are, just as you are.  God made you perfect.  How do I know that?  We are mostly spirit and only a percentage of us is human.  We are not manufactured but are unique in the cosmos.  We came to earth at a very difficult time as we help others understand their spirituality and connection to their spirit in a world of chaos.  We come from spirit and we go back to our spirit and in between, which is a very short time, we bring our wisdom, personalities, passions and our purposes with us.  We develop everything we are made of, and supposed to accomplish, over the years and our unique talents kick in along the way.  Some of us have a short existence as humans and others, much longer but we are all part of the collective.  We are always at the right time and the right place but often we grow impatient and restless and that is the human nature of being human whispering in our ears from our highly active and imaginative brain.  During the celebration of International Women’s Day help other women feel unique, valued and celebrate their contribution to the world by being joyful within yourself and thankful that God made your perfect just the way you are.

Cradle those You Love With Love

Cradle those You Love With Love

It is never too late to put your arms around someone you love or even if this person is a friend or associate hug them, shake their hand or touch them on the back.  We need to know that we belong.  When there is nobody else, the Angels are always there to cuddle and cradle us for we are all children of the universe.  Some people hug trees and guess what, the trees have Angels in them so your opportunity for nurturing is all around you, right before your eyes and within reach.

Ashley’s Return Home To Heaven – Poem & Doodle Art

Ashley’s Return Home To Heaven

By Gail McNaughton, January 20, 2011

She raised her arms toward heaven.

Her hair in tangles, tossed about,

Got caught in the branches of a flowering apple tree.

She was trying to float on the wind in the direction towards heaven.

A dove wrapped its wings around her,

And lifted her high above the branches,

Helping her find her way.

God peeked through the billowy, white clouds,

And gently lifted Ashley onto his lap.

He rocked her in his arms,

And smiled at her as his loving child.

As he cradled her, she asked many questions,

And was soothed with his answers.

The dove spread out his wings,

And Ashley lay on top,

Feeling cozy on the blanket of feathers.

He flew her to The House Of The Angels,

And they welcomed her.

She met old and new friends and felt quite at home.

They encouraged her,

To have one last look for now, through the glass floor,

And she could see her family, friends and colleagues far below.

She sent them warm wishes,

From her heart to theirs which they all felt with great affection.

The angels tied her hair with forget-me-nots,

And bathed her in rose water filled with pink petals.

She felt fresh from her journey,

And the special day of her soul’s return to heaven.

Warm sunlight shone upon her,

And Ashley closed her eyes,

As the angels knelt beside her in prayer.

“We love you just as your family and friends do”,

Was the whisper through their chanting.

“Your family will always be there for you,

But we will now take our turn in your care.

We will smile upon you as you sleep,

And know that in your dreams,

You can visit home anytime.

Sleep dear Ashley sleep,

And wake to the new dawn and a new transition,

And be at peace evermore”.

Gail will be reading the poem Ashley’s Return Home To Heaven at this event.
