Greetings my dear beloved ones…

Imagine the possibilities of miracles — the possibilities of miracles within your own heart, within your own life, and within your own world.

You, my dear children, are each a Divine miracle. And, you can give miracles to the world. The way you open your heart to miracles is to open your heart to Love. Divine love that surrounds you, becomes you, lives in you, and penetrates every cell of your being.

As you welcome this Love into your life, miracles begin to happen all around you. It is not a matter of wishing them to occur. It is a matter of opening your heart to them. They exist in all forms and all ways. When you surrender to the ideas that miracles can happen in every moment of every day, you then allow the world to see them. They are ever present yet most are not aware of them.

My dear children, as you open your heart to miracles, we want to help you understand that miracles are nothing more than the creative thought of your own mind, your own intent, your own love. Thought and love that exudes and moves through you to unblock the channels so Divine Love can flow.

My dear children, the most important thing to understand here is not to focus on the miracle, but to focus on the Love. Connect, think, and dwell on Love. Invite Love into your life. Ask Love to become you. Ask Love to remove the barriers that prevent you from seeing the miracles already happening all around you.

Yes, my dear children, you are a miracle, you are love, and you are divine. Within you is the ability to create magnificent miracles through Love. Through love, miracles will manifest in your life.

You may ask, “How will I know a miracle when I see it?” More importantly, you will know a miracle when you feel it. With miracles will come the feeling of understanding, the feeling of Love, the feeling of shifting, the feeling of knowing a new perception and understanding of your world has changed to a feeling of peace. And, that my dear children, is the miracle.

We would like to invite you today, to sit a few moments to welcome miracles and Love into your life. Take a few moments to open your heart and imagine Love pouring forth into your heart, then out of your heart miracles will flow.

Know, my dear children, how much you are loved. As you continue to seek help, we will come, and help. You are loved more than you know!

We awaken to the promise of each day
invigorated by the multiplicity of choices before us
for free will provides that open door
to choose our pathway for each tomorrow

so no commentary need be offered
for each failure or success
simply realize “we are the authors of our blueprints”
the undeniable controllers of our behavior and our destiny.

Receiving the recent photos of the sacred western red cedar log for Mary's Totem Carving, it wasn't until resizing the photos for the website, we observed Orbs in this photo. Most noticeable is the orb above the handle of the chainsaw. We count 20 orbs in this one picture.

In an email dated April of 2005, Susan told Master Totem Carver Lee Wallace. "Mother Mary has chosen you to do this work. She asked me to tell you she will guide your hands, and you will feel her love as you carve." To us, the orbs indicate Mother Mary and her helpers are on the job.

What fun to receive this physical manifestation of Spirit at work on this special totem carving. If you would like to see a larger version of this photo for a closer look, email and we'll send a copy. casadesantamaria@mac.com

Through your loving donations we have raised the $10,500 needed to pay Lee for the Totem Carving of Mary. Now we are working on raising the money to cover the expense of crating, shipping, the raising of Mother Mary's Totem and surrounding landscaping. We are also hoping to have enough funds for airfare and lodging for Lee to travel to Colorado to oversee the installation on May 1, 2007. Lee will also perform a Native-American ceremonial blessing.

Imagine this. It's dusk, the moon is rising and the smell of freshly mowed grass is heavy in the air. You are standing in the center of one of the most powerful and revered of ancient sacred sites, the majestic megaliths of Stonehenge. Walk among them, meditate, touch, sense.

Not just a walk-through but a full hour of private contemplation for our tour group.

This can be your reality if you join us on our Sacred Sites of England tour in August. And that's just one of many moving sites we'll be visiting. Because of the expertise of our guides, you will experience these ancient and sacred places in England as few are privileged to do

Visit www.casadesantamaria.org/england.html for the trip details.

There are just eight spaces left for this trip of a lifetime. Susan and I would so like to have the pleasure of your company. Expect many surprises along the way.
