Dear Angel Friends,

Every week for the past four months, I have listened to a podcast by Caroline Myss, sometimes more than one. Her wisdom inspires me—my respect for her runs deep.

Even though I am on her mailing list and receive podcasts regularly, I often randomly select one that shows up through YouTube. She never fails to bore me.

For the past two weeks, it has been on my list to write an Air Feather Newsletter. The other day, as I was stretching in the morning and listening to Caroline, I was filled with good goosies. This is it! I have to share a part of this podcast. She is saying what I want to say!

I did not write to her for permission, as I trust she would love that I share her wisdom. As well, it was an audio public sharing.

Without further ado…thank you, Caroline, for this prayer.

Sometimes, Lord, I can sense that I’ve stepped into the presence of angels. I cannot see your holy messengers, yet I know they are near, very near. Someone asked me once…. ‘how do you know an angel is near? What does the presence of an angel feel like?’

Some questions have answers that are hard to describe.

I could see that he wanted a reply that held a secret ingredient — a code perhaps? This man struck me as a grown-up child wanting to find a way to encounter the sacred somehow. If only he could glimpse the wing of an angel as a flutter of proof that the invisible world is filled with benevolent guardians of light— he’d be able to believe. 

I do not know how to penetrate that wall of doubt in people, but I constantly see the consequences of that barrier in their lives. 

I know this world is filled with angels. 

They are constantly watching over their assigned human beings. If only we trusted this, people could realize in the moment of fear or confusion that assistance was hovering right next to them. Ah, what comfort that would bring.

Most people do not understand the way of divine assistance. Angels have a non-interference policy. It took me a long time to truly understand that guidance is their task — whereas ours is — choice. The choice before us is whether to trust the power of the sacred to guide us when we cannot yet see, or to fight our way through events that have already occurred. 

It’s a mystical truth that anything we see in the physical world is already history. It took me a long time to truly grasp that the stuff of the physical world is the end product of our collective choice, not the beginning. 

Inner change begins with the invisible world when we listen to the guidance of Angels. What is required of us, is to learn to trust the voice speaking to our soul.  

I know that my voice is my lifeline to you, Angels. I can never deny again the grace of trust. Little by little I will find my way home.

Thank you Caroline.

P.S. She recently set up A Network of Grace. Here is the link if you are curious: https://www.myss.com/a-network-of-grace/ 

The above prayer was taken from a podcast called Heaven Does Not Take Sides

Dear Angel Friends, 

Thank you to those of you who have checked in on me recently wondering if I am ok.
I almost didn’t write this Air Feather Letter, because sometimes I feel on some level you might be too busy to read my words.
I almost didn’t take time to meditate this morning, because my list of things to do is quite long, but I did, and going through my list is so much easier now.
I almost believed oh—it is too long of a drive to go to the lake to swim, but instead I got in my van and found myself indulging in a swim that felt timeless.
...having had a difficult relationship with her father, she almost didn’t say I love you, I am sorry,  shortly before he passed away, but she did. 
...he almost took the bribe a few 'friends' were pushing on him, but instead he was distracted by a phone call, walked away and later reflected on his…almost…
A close friend told me she almost didn’t call me when she needed ‘a compassionate ear’, thinking I was too busy to be there for her, but she did, and we were both enriched by the conversation and the laughter.
 
Almost: very nearly but not exactly or entirely. We're almost there. The work is almost done.
 

I often wonder if my time is almost up here on Earth. I have no terminal illness. I am strong and relatively healthy. But I think about the inevitable almost daily. Having this in the forefront of my thoughts, makes me live each day, like there is no tomorrow. I feel more loving, alert, and eager to put my affairs in order.  

Last Sunday morning I danced a sacred dance called Paneurhythmy, here in the Community where I live. I felt lifted, vibrant and enchanted! My orange flowered dress flowed with the abundant warm morning breeze. I transported myself to a subtler realm and imagined I was dancing with Angels as well as family members in my life who have passed. I however, almost didn't dance because it is very hot here in BC!  I am glad I didn't use—the weather—as an excuse.

I am learning to love the word…almost. 

February 9, 2024

Dear Angel Friends, 

As I look out a window in my home, I see the stillness of the trees that have been dusted with a light snow that came in this early morn.
The illusion of—nothing is moving— is before me.
I penetrate this stillness with my inner view and wander under the surface of the snow, the cold rocks, the dense earth. I see tiny stirrings – tiny eyes of roots peeping open, yawning their limbs forward, starting the dance of inevitability—spring is on its way.
 
Then I look at the stillness in my home. My this and that’s placed just so. My plants are alive, but I cannot see them move. I use my inner eyes and delve into the soil that supports their presence. I imagine minerals talking to each other creating puzzles for entertainment. Colours other than shades of green radiate out to me. Their aura thanking me for my gentle touch to their leaves; my whispers of gratitude; and the simple sips of water they receive to keep them alive.
 
I feel into stillness.
 
Deeper now, I observe the tranquility in myself. I am here. Computer on my lap. Hands lightly tapping keys that I don’t have to look at to know what I am writing. The fridge is silent, as are the heaters. There are no traffic sounds. I hear nothing but my thoughts. 
My inner vision takes me for a ride inside. I watch strands of my DNA orientating and wiggling forward new ideas that juggle for acceptance. My carrier of genetic information always moving, always evolving, always curious. 
 
In this stillness, I notice feelings; a slight tension in my jaw; my stomach asking to be fed; my breathing shallow; my limbs relaxed. My shoulders a little stooped into the pillow that supports my back. A slight smile on my face.

SHARING
A space where you too can share your love of Angels.

Do you have a personal experience wherein you felt that someone was 'like an Angel' for you when you were going through a challenging situation in your life?

Or perhaps you experienced a moment of certainty because of a sign you knew you received from your Angel?

Do you, or do you know of someone who has had an experience wherein you believe an Angel interceded and you or they were saved from a tragedy?

I am collecting stories and would like to share them with you, my Readers. If you prefer to send an audio recording of your experience, wonderful! I am on the side - more positive stories are needed now - to increase our faith and trust in the invisible world.

May you hear  your Angels whispers daily and follow their lead.

Love and Light
feather

In this stillness my blood is stirring my heart to beat— to this allowing. 
 
The illusion of—nothing is moving—is within me.
I am grateful.

SEPTEMBER 2023

Dear Angel Friends, 

I have hit a milestone in life. I am 65 today. I feel great! I feel so much is still possible! Even though the days tick on faster than before, I can choose to retire if I want to.
 
Retire? 
 
From what?
 
I feel I have lived a life of being semi-retired—all my life. The longest I held a full time 9-5, M-F job was for about two months when I was in my thirties. I was a temporary secretary.
 
I have been an inspired freelance theatre artist and educator since my early twenties. And of course I am an Angel Intuitive for the last 14 years. However I never think of these professions as jobs. 
 
I opened my first After School Theatre School when I was only 22, in Toronto Ontario. I found a private school that needed an after-school program, and ten families jumped into (my) ASTAR (After School Theatre Arts and Recreation).The trust these parents gave me was amazing. I didn’t graduate with a degree to be a theatre teacher. I just knew instinctively how to work with children’s imaginations and co-create with them. Even though I never had any children of my own, when I am with them, I navigate Mother like energy of caring, inspiring, disciplining, laughing, and giving hugs of encouragement.
 
I remember naively taking ten kids ages 4 to 9 years old, during a march break program on the underground transit system to a park miles away. A man gave me some money, thinking they were all mine! 
 
How did I do this back then? With faith. Faith, I was protected and the children with me were too.
In all my years of teaching—43 now—and directing drama classes/clubs and creating theatre productions, not once have any of the 100’s of children I have supported been injured. Not once, in over a 100 shows I have manifested, has one child in the Play been sick the day of the performance. I always pray to the Angels to protect me and these young beings I am blessed to spend co-creative time with. This is the first time I have ever revealed this truth.
 

This summer in August, I created a Drama Camp with 13 children. I hired Emily to be my assistant a former student and one of the girls on the cover of my novel (Once Upon A Solar Time). It was amazing for me to watch her bring forth the talent in the children the way I do. I could see me in her. (Interesting too in the Cards of Science we share many of the same cards on our life paths). She told me she wants to be a teacher of English and Drama in the future! When she graduates, she intends to return to the little village we live in and teach at the school where I have been directing a drama club since 2014. I imagine if she does, say 5-10 years from now, if I am still ‘alive’, she could invite me to help her direct a show. I hold space for this lovely full circle to transpire. 

I am currently co-creating with 17 home-schooled children and in another month I will open the local Drama Club for 12 inspiring young actors.

Retire? Me?

Thank you, Angels. 
 
My birthday wish…
 
to keep nurturing my young at heart—heart...
 
…to continue to be ever so grateful when Angels whisper their love to me…through signs, human beings and nature 
 
And my last wish…I express through a poem.

Sorting Echoes 
 
My wishing well rises to my eyes.
Caressing my reflection amicably, the benevolent water 
that has been cultivated with charmed heritage 
reveals roots unravelling…sorting echoes.                             
 
Simple truths are needed now.
Complications – be gone! 
Vanish!                                                                                                                      
 
The importance of promising speech reverberates loudly,
     ‘I got this – today.  And the next, next, next...’
Memoirs activate containers of sentiments stored so, so, so deep.
This garden is welcomed. 
 
I gaze at my current secrets.
When I feel sure, 
I will dance adjectives into my feet with veneration.
My dress will sip from the well and drip onto my bare legs.
I will whistle in public, as it does not hurt to show happiness.

Someone will toss a preserved penny at me.
                                                           

Extra details from the ‘was’ of my past,
are stored somewhere in my eco-friendly brain.
I can remember anytime, ‘my, I am, am, am…’
I have learned to rapidly retrieve for survival of my joy.                
 
Stirred waters run deeper
then I will ever be able to dive down into.
Simple truths (again), swirl to the surface.                                         
The tip of my tongue collects them, and files echoes upright.     
 
So many sunbeams are distributed in our lifetime.
The rays draw imaginary air transports,
to suspend the presence of I am. 
I still love the essence of Angels supporting my wishing well.
Your echo is lovely to tune into.   
I feel safer now, to not always know what is around my next revolution.        
 
My reflection is crystalizing, speaking volumes with age.
“What did you say today? “ 
“Did you keep it simple?”

 ‘I got this, this, this…’                                                                               

 
I rise through my submerged self and
kiss heart full promising intentions.
I drink approaching silver linings.
I deserve to quench my thirst.                                                               
 
My future mingles in the tectonic chronicles of consciousness.
Optimism vibrates fertility. 
One tender aspiration motivates.
Light fibres copulate, refreshing star codes.
I receive with gratitude, 
my expanding garden.                                                                  
                                                                                                            
An invisible drop 
from my wishing well,
anoints my forehead.
Wetness finds a home.
A clear, watery spirit moves a wave within,
talking beyond my shore.

    Happy Birthday to my Higher Self :)

The Lottery Reading Winner (from my last Air letter):  
Christa Moffat

This reading did take place in August.  Alexander and Viki of The Source Cards – and I were ready to give Christa a Reading, however that morning I had no internet and Viki happened to be sick, so we had to cancel.  We set it up a few weeks later, and I had another internet problem. Later we laughed that our collective energies were blowing fuses somewhere in the ethers. We were delayed that day too, but the Reading did take place. However, we made a mistake and only ended up recording Christa in the video, so us three Readers are not seen. We agreed it would be better to include the recording as just an MP3 audio. If you want to know a little more about how the ‘playing deck of cards’ is an amazing divination tool, then have a listen.  
Thanks again Christa for being courageous to receive a Reading with 3 Readers at the same time! 
Here is the link. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/12vpyl28997n3azvku3x8/Reading-For-Christa-with-Feather-Alexander-Viki.mp4?rlkey=rq6lv4qdmwn0pyqko5pe8ydry&dl=0

Oh, and if you are curious about Alexander and Viki’s The Daily Game wherein each day you can get to know what card energy is manifesting than click here to find out.  I love how they simple, creatively, and wisely tell us each day the card energy we are working with. Such an easy way to get to know this amazing science.

WINTER - JANUARY 2023 = COMMUNION

Dear Angel Friends,

Every time I feel the urge to write an Air Letter I pray for guidance. First I pray for a theme then I let go and trust. Sometimes it takes days for the theme and words to fully emerge. Today however, shortly after I prayed, I heard—write about timelessness = communion. One meaning of communion is—the sharing of intimate thoughts and feelings, especially when the exchange is on a spiritual level. Whoa, what a big theme! How to start? I just did, like I normally do. I began to write ideas without any attachment to outcome
 
Within an hour I received a text message from a close friend whereby the content of our back and forth texting confirmed my theme within minutes. 
 
Her text:
I was searching for something else on my computer that contained the word Angel and unexpectedly, up pop the notes you sent me from my Angel Reading I received in 2020! It was fascinating to discover a message from my Father's side because I had no recollection of having read it before. The message conveyed, "You have a magnificent story—you can make time to write it now."

(Context: The Angel Reading occurred the day after we met after being out of each other’s lives for 46 years!)

I texted her:
“Angel readings are timeless. I remember during our Reading there was a strong connection with a Grandmother. In fact, afterwards you showed me a photo of this Grandmother on you Mother’s side, wherein she was wearing her first communion dress and veil. As you know, there is merely a veil between the Angelic realms and our world. Perhaps she was there this morning with you?"

“Ironically I felt the presence of my Grandmother on my Father's side this morning. She was radiating comfort to me as I am working through some trauma around being bullied as a child." 
 
"This confirmation you received of your Grandmother 's presence warms my heart."

Ah, the timelessness of an angelic Grandmother’s love. And that’s not all…

My friend continued:
“Your notes contained an affirmation: 'I carry a strong light. This light is my radar to good souls.' That sentence made me take a deep breath as I will be travelling abroad soon and I need to trust I will attract good souls where ever I go. 
Coincidentally my friend, that reading took place February 20, 2020, three years to the day February 20, 2023, I will start my travels.    
 
At this moment she called me because our conversation was too large to continue text messaging. I asked her, “What is your communion now with yourself?"

She shared that over the past few years, she has felt a nudge to write her memoir, which was validated in re-discovering the message on her Father’s side, “You have a magnificent story—you can make time for it now.” With a deeper understanding now of the bullying incidents in her childhood, she is wondering where the purity, joy and wonder of her inner child have gone. She has begun inviting her inner child with all of its innocence to say hello in a timeless way. She is welcoming back—communion—with this part of herself. 

This spiritual union with my friend validated that when I am ready to receive, inspirational messages, always arrive.

Our conversation also confirmed some notes I had written before her text arrived.

I want to offer a new guidance course called: Guidance to Writing Your Memoir/Your Story. Since writing and recently publishing my first novel, Once Upon A Solar Time, together with my intuitive communion, I know I can inspire, guide and support your dream. Perhaps like my friend, you are seeking communion with writing your words? I can be there for you. (More on this new offering below.)

Coincidently the last two sentences I wrote in my novel on the Acknowledgements page:
Life is short: If you have a book inside you I encourage you to write it. What a marvellous experience!
 
Laughter complemented the remainder of our call, as it often does. Her timely text this morning, coupled with my openness to explore the big “suggested” themes to commune with all of you, happened with ease. I am grateful.

PODCAST with LIVING ON PURPOSE COMMUNICATIONS

My editor Lynn Thompson also actively creates podcasts. I will be visiting her studio in Newmarket, wherein she will be interviewing me about my novel. I anticipate a well- rounded conversation. In addition to being an awesome editor, she is a delightful interviewer. https://theonpurposepodcast.podbean.com

FALL 2022 - Accountability

Dear Angel Friends,

I felt like touching in today. I hope you are all keeping your joy and gratitude active! It can be challenging to maintain positivity all the time.

Recently, I took a nose-dive into negative thinking. It seemed to take over me! It seemed to last for weeks. I wasn’t always in the deep end, but when I was, my regular ‘tricks’ to relieve the pressure in my heart and mind were not working. 

What did I do? Mainly, I did my best to not be too hard on myself. My body contributed to the state of mind, as my health was compromised, and when my body is not feeling great, it is more effort to keep my mind feeling great. Do you know what I mean?

I had to be accountable for the thoughts and feelings I was experiencing. I was so vulnerable too. I cried with a friend and my sister, and I again had to not be too hard on myself. Of course, I thought I could get all the answers independently. I help many people, but when it came time for me to unleash, I feared I would be judged for not staying strong. I tried to not linger too profoundly in my sorrow, angst, and lack of faith.  

Although I worked many negative thoughts out through writing, I also reached out to Julie Zanforlin (who lives in Chile). I had a remote healing session with her—amazing.  

Why did I spin down? 

Since early July this year, I decided to have two contractors build me a ‘tiny house.’ I have lived in over twenty-five homes, apartments, rooms and my RV in the summertime for the past nine years. Only one other time in my life in Thailand for three years did I own a house and live in it. The decision to create a home I can call my own was life-changing. I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I had no idea how many decisions I would make in the process. And although I trusted the contractors and respected their hard work ethic, I still knew I would have to face the fact that the electricity coming to my home would be compromised—for a while. The truth is—it still is.  

My tiny solid 24’ by 14’ home is complete. I live in it, but I do not have hot water, nor can I cook or shower, and it is not exactly warm outside. I am told the main electricity is coming, but waiting for this connection has more than once tried my patience. That is why I got sick. Sick with worry. Sick with fear. Sick of not having things come to me when I wanted them to. Sick of thoughts that were telling me I would have to move again! 

I have an extension cord that lets me run two oil heaters, so I am warm in my new house. I have running cold water and the toilet works, which I am grateful for. Because I live in Community, I have a place to shower and a community hall I can eat in. Soon (could be in a month, or not until Spring 2023), I am told the electrical upgrade will be complete, and I will be able to live ‘normally.’ 

Because I was experiencing so much anxiety, I sought guidance from another  healer, Julie Zanforlin. Without giving her too many details, she quickly saw ‘other lives’ wherein, home or lack of a home was present. She helped me to remove these blocks of fear. There was even a layer of 'do I even deserve a new house'. Gee's. How I judged myself!!! Know wonder I was full of anxiety, negativity and often short of breath! I even, at one point, said to a few friends—If I can’t live in my new home, I would rather die.

I have since uprooted and soothed this profound fear of no security—no home. Whoa…deep…real feelings. I like to think now that I have dug up those past memories, I have put them to rest. I am building a new nest inside my cortex!
I am now spinning up!
I am accountable for all the steps I make, take or eliminate.

My book, Once Upon A Solar Time, is so close to being available. Well, I almost had it in hand ten days ago, and then my editor and I found 14 more mistakes! We were shocked that we hadn’t seen them in the previous round of revisions. So, needless to say, the book is now in its FINAL revision round. I will receive the proofs next week, after which the book will become available to order online. I will send an email with links soon.
 
I will be putting myself—out there in regards to my book. What does this mean? I am open to giving interviews via any media (print, podcasts, radio, TV, bookstores, and libraries). I am proud, I have to admit, that I wrote a 258-page book. It has been a major accomplishment in my life. I want to continue sharing my vision and insights with whoever is open to reading Once Upon A Solar Time. 

Here is the Forward written by my friend Joanie McMahon:

This delightfully precious book, Once Upon a Solar Time, written by my friend feather, aka denise, is brilliant. I know feather’s work with children, whereby, each year, she gathers children interested in theatre expression. Then, from scratch, they create a play for an audience that embodies the children’s ideas, opinions, dreams, and intuitions. Gifted teacher feather directs, writes, and produces the plays. It’s challenging to accomplish so much with a group of children in a short time. However, attending many of her original plays, each filled with fun, wisdom, and grace, entertained me. And now, feather has taken her love of teaching, music, nature, humanity, and the spiritual world and woven everything into this captivating, highly-creative book that teenagers, young adults, and grown-ups will love. Colourful, mystical, and magical—clearly the work of a brilliant thinker and writer. Her writing is so visual that I imagine her book becoming a significant movie for humanity. 

Once Upon A Solar Time is packed full of creativity; one character is Relaxella, a name that embodies the need for more trust, knowing, inner calmness, and genuine loving. As a psychologist, I recognize the necessity for human expression that leads to enlightenment and the restoration of the body and soul; it is powerful. Relaxella’s sensitive nature purposefully demonstrates what is possible to help others grow.

Through the video-like game, Point-by-Point, feather teaches essential elements of the body and the importance of keeping ourselves clear so our true nature can shine through; she expresses the concepts with elegance and engaging dialogue during this intriguing story. The author’s love of nature is clear and prominent throughout this masterpiece.

One of the fourteen-year-old girls says to her friend, “I still talk to the sun rays when they touch my face each morning. I haven’t missed a sunrise for over one year.” The writing is delightful, educational, and charming. Such beauty of expression in a single paragraph; feather expresses so much in just a name or a word. The richness of each sentence takes your breath away. For example, “Oh Light, may the gentleness of your magnificence bless our hands as we prepare the abundance of food before us into a nutritious meal. Keep our thoughts joyful while working together, so we can infuse this nutrition with wholesome elements for all who partake.”

I can go on and on in my excitement about this precious work of art where feather expands our use of language through original songs and endearing expressions that melt our hearts and minds.

Bless you, dear feather, for this remarkable creative endeavour.

SUMMER 2022

Dear Angel Friends,

I am sitting in front of a window in my home, looking at fir, larch and pine trees. There are plenty of daises too that are still alive, but they are bending down to the earth, as soon their life force will be depleted. I sit in gratitude for all that is before me and all that has recently passed, although I share now a strong current I had to face.

A new friend in my life, his name Martin, on July 1st, passed tragically. Although I didn’t witness his death—he fell 10 feet down into a small space. He had just finished a day of construction work in which he was starting to frame up a roof structure for a food storage area. Apparently, he said to a co-worker just before passing—“I have to check on one more thing.” We think he lost his balance or possibly fainted, as his arms were not broken to brace his fall. His cousin, Patrice and I followed the ambulance to the hospital. Ninety minutes later, we were called into the trauma room. The doctor graciously told us that Martin was being kept alive with a breathing machine. He had broken his neck and was bleeding in his brain. The trauma specialist advised his cousin to call his family back in Quebec and give them this sad news.

How do we know when our life force will be depleted? We don’t. This intense moment in my life has been a wake-up call to embrace each day with more awe and gratitude. To trust so deeply everything will work out, and that my life is divinely planned even if I have to check “one more thing.” We all will leave this earth sooner or later. There is a saying—it is a good day to die—and yes, every day, something dies in us.

How microscopic do you go within yourself? Under the looking glass of your life, there is so much you can’t see and yet there is so much available to view. To stop and view.

When I watched and felt the life force of Martin leave, I was left in wonder. How does ones breathing stop, but a heart beat continues—for 5 minutes?

I am 63, and I am now at a time in my life wherein even if I live another 15 years—or more—each day, I am getting closer to nodding my head down like a daisy to the earth that will transform me, when I give back the earth my ashes.

I am not afraid of dying. I write those words with conviction. Many do not know this of me, but I experience shortness of breath daily. I have faced judgement of people for many years telling me asthma is all in my head. Well, I know it is not! Lately, though when I climb the hill to get to my home amongst the trees, I often stop. First, I stop because, ok, I have to—catch my breath. However, lately, when I stop, I feel the air, I smell the earth, and sometimes I say a short impromptu prayer. I used to dislike stopping, seeing it as a nuisance—but now, I embrace the moment when I lack air to nourish thoughts and feelings of gratitude: ‘Thank you, body, for helping me get up the hill again. Thank you, body, for knowing when to stop. Thank you, body, for letting me breathe another day of light so I can continue to clear and advance my consciousness.’

Death, breath, death, breath—and when Martin took his last breath, we wondered how his heart kept beating for five more minutes. What was his mind saying as his cousin and I each had one hand on his heart? Do you wonder too? Our hearts are such miracles of manifestation! And yes, when we leave our "shelter," our heart will continue beating for someone who needs our connection even if we are not physically there.

Three days later, I was working around my tiny home and there—out of nowhere were 6 small feathers. I said out loud—'is this you, Martin?' I also said out loud, 'but your favourite number was 7.' Ten minutes later, I am moving an old board, and under it I found an orange and black perfectly formed feather. How did it get there? I felt Martin was saying—'yes you remembered my favourite number is 7, so here, I give this feather to you to confirm it is me, on the other side.

Thank you, Martin, for sharing the last five minutes of your heartbeat with me.

GRADUATED!

On July 16th, I graduated with flying colours with the course The Science of the Cards. I have been studying with 20 others since last September. Robert Lee Camp, author, teacher and one of my Mentors in this course, evaluated a Reading of a client (wherein I had to record the Reading), and he said, “I would not change a thing in how you delivered your Reading. In fact, you do not have to give me another sample, unlike some of the other students. You are a good councillor, Feather, and many will benefit from this knowledge you can impart easily.” My other Mentor is a 39 year old woman named Fatima. She has been studying the science of the cards for 20 years! I learned so much from her! I feel positive I can pass on deeper support to my clients, family and friends with this ancient tool of knowledge.

I will receive my Certificate in the mail in a few weeks, in the meantime below is a confirmation logo.

I am super excited as now I am in the final layout phase of my novel, Once Upon A Solar Time! The image below is the cover; although it needs a few more adjustments, it is close to the real thing!

My awesome editor, Lynn Thompson (Living on Purpose Communications), are comb ing through the book for another week to ensure there are no errors. Then it will be sent back to the publisher for them to finish the design.

I will give more updates as the launch date gets closer and closer. I hope the book design will be complete by my birthday (September 29th)!

I have a growing list of friends, family, and clients who want a signed copy. This makes me feel wonderful! If you want your name on this list, email me at airfeather4@gmail.com.

FEBRUARY 18, 2022 UNSUNG

Dear Angel Friends,

I hope you are moving through your life with ease and gratitude. Happy almost Springtime!
In this Angel Newsletter I chose the theme, Unsung Hero's. Actually, it chose me through my dear friend Esther Austin. Esther is a tireless promoter of unsung hero's. She is Chief Editor of TurningPoint: Your Lifestyle, Your Well-Being Magazine www.turningpointmag.com

As well, Esther is a vibrant radio broadcaster/host with her On the Sofa talk show. She also recently created a new radio show called: The Voice of the People. What's your truth? She has asked me to be a guest in the near future to give live Readings.

Esther invited me to contribute to the Spring 2022 TurningPoint Magazine issue which, celebrates many 'unsung' heroes in the world. She gave me "permission" to share the article I wrote for her magazine.

Here it is:
It is said, His Holiness the Dalai Lama considers the following prayer to be the source for developing altruism in your character. What speaks to me in this prayer is—we are all called to be an unsung hero.
Bodhisattva Prayer for Humanity
“May I be a guard for those who need protection
A guide for those on the path
A boat, a raft, a bridge for those who wish to cross the flood
May I be a lamp in the darkness
A resting place for the weary
A healing medicine for all who are sick
A vase of plenty, a tree of miracles
And for the boundless multitudes of living beings
May I bring sustenance and awakening
Enduring like the earth and sky
Until all beings are freed from sorrow
And all are awakened.”
Shantideva, Indian Buddhist sage 700 A.D.

And all are awakened...I love this last sentence. How do you interpret these words? Is awakened a feeling? When you awaken to a fact for example of an injustice being done to a neighbour, what do you do? Do you move with compassion in action and see how you can support and give any inner gifts you may have to ease suffering?

You think it. You feel it. You do it. You don’t wait for someone to tell you not to draw with chalk on the sidewalk. You draw a large amusing picture because you want to bring joy to workers who pound pavement, who sing songs inside themselves perhaps no one, has heard.

So many people in the world are unsung, and I know this is a good thing. Let me tell you why.

There have been, countless visionaries, around the world who have devoted their lives to the evolution of consciousness. There are many living now, many who have inspired my life choices and my personal evolution. I am grateful I do not have to climb the mountain by myself. Unsung heroes enrich the seeds in our souls and they do not ask for anything in return—perhaps except—to mimic their altruism.

Who else wants altruism to be the radiating face of the new normal? Altruism is a kind of membership within the human race, wherein anyone can belong. Magnificent!

Isn’t it wonderful groups of unsung hero’s are now converging to balance out multiple crises we are all facing on the planet? So much tragedy requires collective solutions, and it is by gathering and working together in groups we can dream more concretely and shuffle into a place within the “new life”, that is now here.

I like to imagine we all have access to develop the qualities of altruism, of unsung hero’s— to be useful, to be kind, to be generous, to practice selflessness, to give without recognition, these qualities of our emotional hearts, which are woven somewhere deep in our cellular memories, where we know, only love is real.

In my inner world, I visit with Angels. Some people have asked me "How can you even believe they exist?" I have always loved the words below from Omraam Mikael Aivanhov, a profound unsung visionary whose teachings have opened my soul. I am grateful to his wisdom, light and love and for supporting my belief in Angels, who too are often unsung.

“You say you cannot see Angels.
But can you see your thoughts or your feelings?
No, but you do not doubt their existence. When we try
to cultivate the consciousness of divine life, which penetrates all things,
you will sense the presence of Angelic Beings all around you.
These beings manifest every time you experience moments
of great spiritual intensity.
Certain mystical emotions, certain qualities of silence,
certain vibrations in the atmosphere of a room
in which, you have just been praying and or meditating;
all these are manifestations of Angelic beings.
What we see is nothing more than the outer shell of things.
The essence is always invisible.
So you may not see Angels, but you will sense their presence,
and this sensation is something you cannot doubt.
That is what life is:
vibrations and currents that circulate
throughout space and back to us
An abstract from Daily Meditations 2018 by Omraam Mikael Aivanhov

Love and light
feather
P.s Thank you Esther for your loving support!

Update on my Book publishing journey: I sent my novel entitled; Once Upon a Solar Time to FriesenPress (a Canadian Publishing company) on February 1st. Yesterday I received my evaluation and here is a snippet of what the editor said about my writing:

Thank you for submitting your manuscript to FriesenPress for editorial review. Once Upon a Solar Time is a well-written and engaging novel that kept me entertained and curious to know what would happen next.

Starting from the basics, the manuscript as submitted is in excellent shape. Congratulations on writing a compelling story with a strong narrative arc and solid characters that leap off the page. This, in itself, is a triumph. The writing style was fresh, intelligent, and compelling throughout. Aside from a few structural issues that perhaps require clarification, the story itself is solid.

More on my book journey in another Air Feather Angel Letter.

HAPPY ALMOST SPRING TIME 2022!

NOVEMBER 7, 2021 - GOING FORWARD FEARLESSLY

Dear Angel Friends,

This morning I brought forward something on my list of things to do from last week. I looked at the words—write a letter to my angel friends. I could have berated myself for not writing the letter last week, but thank goodness those scolding myself days are gone. I am moving forward in deep self-love and it is a welcomed hug.
There are so many sayings with the word forward including:
"I look forward to seeing you again."
"Are you a forward thinker?"
(and one of my favourites) "Go forward fearlessly!"

So forward I go, you go, she/he goes. We often need to go through our past to move forward to our future. Sometimes we have to trudge through the swamp of our thoughts to get to the fragrant flowers on the other side.

Two nights ago, for the first time in a long time, I recited two precious poems that were written by one of my main Spiritual Mentors, Natacha Kolesar, who left us in 2013. A group of us were honouring her day of passing. Songs were sung, prayers spoken, a violin and piano duet performed, her granddaughter read a short story. It was a beautiful day of remembering a soul who gave so much of her light and love while she was here.

As I was walking back to my van that evening, I turned on my phone light to see my way more easily. I reached my van, and when I turned off the phone light, I heard a voice coming from my phone. It sounded so familiar. I looked, there was Natacha Kolesar giving a lecture on a YouTube video! What! I laughed out loud and was filled with awe. If she was still alive she would be 83 years old. It was a video of her giving a lecture, 30 years ago, which had been posted 7 years ago. I have never seen this video before. It is called La pyramide de l'evolution.

I suddenly thought, 'I better listen to what she is saying, there might be a message for me'—but of course the message had already been delivered, she appeared in my phone!

Anyhow, the seeker that I am tuned into her French speaking voice. I concentrated to understand what she was saying, then the sound of her voice stopped but not the video image. I mean, I know our phones can be unruly at times, but I was super grateful and felt her presence "in my phone" was a perfect sign for me! I lovingly told my friends the next day what had transpired. I still feel wonderfully altered from that experience. To me and many others she was a very forward thinker!

An example, in my life about going forward, (drum roll please) is (finally with no berating regret) I am finishing my Fantasy Novel! I have been writing it for, dare I admit 43 years!!! I am 63, so you can do the math.
I made this decision in July. I knew I couldn’t hold out any longer. So I signed on with a self-publishing Canadian company called Frieson Press.
Every day I wake up with a child like excitement to bring forward new ideas into my novel. I have so much material I have written over the years, editing has become a joy. Sculpting chapters to make sense, even more of a joy!

How are you moving forward in your life? What forward thinking mentors, or teachers are you inspired by? Are you taking any courses to keep filling up— your own Universe?

In July, I made another big decision. I registered to take a Certification course in the Science of the Cards-by the Grand Master of the Science of the Cards—Robert Lee Camp. (There are only 2 Grand Masters in the World who teach this Science) Wow!

Certification will be next year provided I pass three tests. I will be one of only 37 other people from around the world who will be qualified to give Readings to others on this material. I have been studying his work off and on for over 10 years. Finally, I put on my forward thinking cap and said to myself—now is the time to deeply integrate this knowledge to better understand myself, so thus I can be in better service to others.

This Deck of Cards, which is really a Book of Knowledge, represents the underlying fabric of our reality. In spite of this deep knowledge, or perhaps because of this knowledge, the Science of the cards was persecuted in the Middle Ages. What is astonishing is how accurately the cards illuminate our individual life experiences.
With the Science of Cards we can read our human template and the purpose of our lives. You have heard the expression “You are a card.” Well you are!

We have our main birth (day) card and then what is called a Planetary Ruling card. Just knowing these two cards is very useful, however there are many combinations, which guide us through various life cycles and help us understand our relationships to others; to our careers; to money; family and to ourselves.
Your Birth Card is the 1st Card in your Life Path. It’s your Sun Card. It’s the light you shine. It’s the primary pattern of your life. Altogether, your Life Path has 13 Cards, which form your Soul’s Blueprint for this lifetime.

We are allowed to give Readings to practice what we are learning. I have already started.
Some of my friends who know I am learning this "Science” asked me if will continue to give Angel Readings—how could I not? I LOVE giving Angel Readings. Angel Readings always inspire me to keep shining my light and love.

If you feel you want to share with me, how you are going forward in your life, please do! I love receiving inspiring emails.

Love and light
Feather

MAY 2021 - ON THE ROAD AGAIN

Dear Friends with Angels,

How are you? Are you moving in the direction of your hearts desire? Have the imposed brakes on our lives, given you insights to know what roads you must now turn into? Are your abilities to hear your Angels whispers developing?

So much has happened on all our roads in life. All the world changes are really forcing us to navigate our whole selves. The avenues we are taking may need to be more precise; some avenues may be unknown but necessary to take that leap of faith; or avenues that no longer serve our highest good, are requiring us to let go with grace.

My journey this year so far has been a garden of emotions. As some of you know, my dear Ma, at the tender age of 95 passed on February 26. She died in her home, which was a blessing. I was her main caregiver till the end of her life. My remaining sister Marissa, joined me for her last month.

Twelve hours before she passed she held both our hands and squeezed them with a strength that I found remarkable, as she had been sleeping for almost 24 hours before, and had only eaten a small piece of watermelon that day.
We felt she was giving us a reminder to stay strong as she was. For years she had an aged paper on her fridge that said ‘Be so strong, so as to not let anything disturb your peace.’

We lovingly, at that hand holding moment told Ma that there would be so many people waiting on the other side for her, as she had her lineage as well as so many nieces, nephews, associates, friends, and my two sisters that have also travelled down that road to greet her. She smiled. We told her we loved her dearly and she was able to say ‘love you’ back, even though her vocal chords had already closed down prior to that moment.
Ma passed at 4:18 a.m. the next day. My sister and I took it upon ourselves to wash her body with water that was infused with the essential oil of lavender. We lit candles, played sacred music and recited prayers. There was no fear, only deep reverence... deep love creating a lasting memory.

Three months have passed, and her house is up for sale. It took me two and a half months to go through, and sort her possessions, as well as some of my own that have been ‘stored’ in her basement for years.
I found letters that I had kept that I had written to friends and visa versa. I was a prolific letter writer from the age of 18 to 30. During this discovery a woman I had met at the Winnepeg Folk Festival in 1978, wrote to me! We have since re established our friendship and have had many a laugh at the syncronisities that had and still do transpire between us. Lynn provided great comfort and encouragement to me to get through the bundles, as she too was unravelling some of her own stored and treasured writings.

I discovered collections of letters that I had kept from so many people I had met in my travels, and just…my life at that time. Seriously, some of the people I couldn't recall our association, so many papers got thrown out.
Before I tossed, I read every letter.
However, there were fifteen distinct people wherein I bundled their words and sent them back to them. (I admit I had to research some addresses on line). Some of those friends I hadn’t talked to since the 1980’s! Many have already written to me saying how they truly welcomed the reflections of their 'past' self.

When was the last time you received a personal letter in the mail? When was the last time you hand written a letter and posted it?
Letter sending and receiving is an art of deep waiting. Your words travel many miles before they get to their destination, delivered by someone often on foot.

On the Road...again

I will be driving across Canada from Ontario to BC – hopefully - starting June 22. There will be many hours I will be on the road as you can imagine.

I was wondering, would you like to have a conversation with me when I am driving? Keep me company maybe one time? I have Uconnect in my van and it is so easy to talk and drive without holding a phone.

The last time I drove across from southern Ontario in 2013 I arrived at my destination in the Kootney Mountains of BC in 5 days. I may go a little slower this time. At that time I had been back only 4 months from living in Asia for 14 years. On that journey, I do remember wishing I could see palm trees again!

If you would like me to call you please write back to me and give me your number. If you are only available between certain hours, let me know that too.
I won’t set up a schedule for calls, as I will call someone as I am guided. It will be a random surprise. If I don’t reach you I will leave a message. By the time I roll out and start this adventure, you might have forgetten that you gave me your name to call! So indeed a surprise!
Our conversation can jump right into what is happening on your spiritual journey. I can share with you what I am seeing.
This would be a win/ win as I am positive I would enjoy the company of your voice while driving down the highway. Of course no charge!

Something New!
I have a little secret I am revealing.

As it is very important to me to stay creative, despite what I was going through, about 2 months ago I was inspired to see what would happen if I submitted a few of my paintings to Le Galeriste. This is a company out of Montreal who make clothing from artworks.

Galeriste in French means 'gallery owner'. Their mission is to support artists through the sale of environmentally and humanly responsible garments, made by well paid seamstresses who use vegan fabrics and water based inks.

I decided why not. I have many paintings to chose from and I was in need of some new clothes so I birthed...

Feather's Fashion

In all honesty, two of the paintings are mine, and one was created by my Mother at the age of 83. Her's is called The Lighthouse.
The fabrics are soft and flow with each step. I love the result!

DECEMBER 2020 - A WARM VISION

Dear Friends with Angels,

I must have started this particular Angel-letter five times already in the past 2 months. Each time I reviewed what I wrote, not that many of the words stayed. I tried working with a theme, and then the theme seemed, not current enough. I was having some anxiety about what to say to you, but I really wanted to say something. I have also had such short time frames to work on it, as being a full time caregiver for my Mother – takes…well, time.
A part of me wanted to sound funny, uplifting, joyful – well a big part of me wants to express that kind of energy everyday! Whether through a letter or not!
A part of me wanted to sound intellectual. I went through three versions of comparing the game of Chess to being present to your Angels. (The Queen’s Gambit influence back in early October – did you see the series?). I wrote words like… ‘Covid has allowed many of us, to step back into our own chess game. The pawns of our consciousness, the bishops, the queens, the kings, lining up to be moved to conquer unruly fear, so Angels whispers suggest our next move... ‘
Then today, I said to myself – just feel – feel into what you want to write. Try not to edit as much and just write from an unstructured place.
I put on - Meditation Music for Positive Energy – the track I always play when I am giving an Angel Reading.
Then I gave myself a Reading.
First, I worked with my breath to calm myself.
I felt the light of my presence reaching out way past my ‘field’. I felt myself expanding into the Angels love and joy for me.
Then the welcoming visual began.

I took myself to the Sacred Space which, I lovingly call The Temple…where I have taken many of you during our Reading. I walked in through the east door and was immediately picked up by a benevolent being. This Angel cradled me. Held me close. This Angel walked steadily around the Temple. I closed my eyes trusting as each step was reassuring.

As visions do, they move. When I opened my eyes I was laying in a hammock. I was suspended between two large oak trees. The hammock moved ever so slightly in the forest on the south side of the Temple. I watched clouds float by against a brilliant blue sky. I felt into this movement. The wind stayed close but not too close. I felt inner tension, worry and compromised thinking draining with each sway.

Then a screen dropped down and a movie of people in miniature bubbles floated by me. I could see some were holding on to the inside of their bubble, with fear in their eyes. Some were running around in circles. Some were tumbling and getting back up and walking with determination. Some were floating inside, with smiles on their faces. Some were dancing!
The bubbles of humans seized and the leaves of the oak trees came into focus; butterflies landed…a hummingbird nosing around, a family of deer’s grazed nearby.
The screen vanished.
I felt my stillness while lying in the hammock.
I breathed deeper. I felt stronger.
Rested, I carefully got out of the hammock. I was conscious of how I put my feet on the ground. I stretched my arms to the sky, asking that the prayers of humanity be answered with swiftness and ease.
I saw palatable joy, raining on brothers and sisters all over the world, who were reaching to the sky too. I saw in every moment of every day – someone was asking for a sign, asking Heaven to hear their prayers – seeking solace in troubled times. I felt hope.

And then the same benevolent being transported me to a shoreline. The vastness of water before me reminding me of constant change, the womb, and how small I really am. I went deeper into this feeling of light that was being given to me. I stayed still. I watched.
I breathed deeper. I felt stronger.

The Angels then painted feathers onto and into my energy field, my aura. They were adding an extra layer of protection, a remedy for resilience.
I felt a burst of enthusiasm and ran in the sand. I made a game with myself, not to step on other footprints that had been left before my own. Sometimes I was leaping high in the air! My joy returned! I stopped, raised my arms and hands to the sky again and praised this warm vision.

ARTICLE # 2

Not to long ago I was walking in the park without a mask on. A stranger stopped me, and asked, "I can't help but notice how joyful you seem. What makes you so happy these days?"
I replied, "Well for example, today, I gave an Angel Intuitive Reading to a new client and that made me happy."
His face pinched, and his eyebrows went up... "Angel Intuitive Reading?"
"Yes. I believe I can hear the whispers of Angels as well as decode the symbolic language I see in the pictures that they orchestrate for me."
"Really? I never heard of this. I don't get it." So, I sighted a few examples to bring him more understanding:
"Your doctor claims he knows why you are having nervous problems, you ‘believe him/her’ and so you accept their 'Reading' and take the medication they prescribe.
Your accountant says you need to cut back on your spending – you believe they are correct, you accept their 'Reading' of your situation and you change some of your spending habits.
As an Angel Intuitive Reader I help my clients get clarity, motivation, precision on issues in their life. After I give them their Reading, it helps them recalibrate their connection with their Angel. Clients in turn, hear the Angels whispering to them more often. We all are Readers on some level.
Do you have a child? "
"Yes I do. He is 10 years old."
Well, do you believe your child reads your every facial expression?"
"For sure!". He laughed.
"I could go on with many examples. In essence, I feel it really does all come down to what you believe. I have friends that believe going to Church gives them protection from the Coronavirus. Great! Believe! Go! I encourage!
Does my explanation make a little more sense now?"

"Yes. What I understand is because you believe in Angles you feel they talk to you and you can hear them? But no one can really say they have 'seen' an Angel right?"

“You say you cannot see Angels. But can you see your thoughts or your feelings? No, but you do not doubt their existence. When we try to cultivate the consciousness of divine life which penetrates all things, you will sense the presence of Angelic Beings all around you. These beings manifest every time you experience moments of great spiritual intensity. Certain mystical emotions, certain qualities of silence, certain vibrations in the atmosphere of a room in which you have just been praying and or meditating; all these are manifestations of Angelic Beings. What we see is nothing more than the outer shell of things. The essence is always invisible. So you may not see Angels, but you will sense their presence, and this sensation is something you cannot doubt. That is what life is: vibrations and currents that circulate throughout space. Oh and by the way I believe an Angel inspired you to stop me and ask a question."
"To tell you the truth, I was praying for a sign this morning. Life is kind of tense right now. Thanks for your explanation. I really appreciate it." he concluded.
We went our separate ways.

The encounter with the stranger, actually never did take place. I do think for some of you this 'story' will bring more clarity in regards to understanding what I do. Sometimes it is hard to explain to our friends or family, the spiritual connections we gravitate towards.

JUNE 2020 - STAYING STEADY

Dear Friends with Angels,

It has been awhile.  
Yes maybe too long. 
I started this Angel letter three different times.  Now it has aligned.
But it has been awhile.  
So, perhaps you may find it a wee bit longer as there are different ‘shares’ that have been circulating inside me and now have fully emerged.
 
Staying steady in one’s faith, friendships, and spiritual disciplines bring many a reward when least expected.  Staying steady in positive vibration brings in closer syncronisities; amazing sightings of colourful birds and butterflies or even just a deep knowing that you are safe, protected and connected.
 
What actions are you feeling good about in your life right now?
What routines bring you a sense of serenity and/or accomplishment?
What conversations with others (and yourself) are you cultivating to keep yourself in joy and gratitude?
 
Perhaps you are asking;  ‘How can I stay steady in these times? There is so much uncertainty.’
 
I will give you my answer.
 
I am staying steady by honouring that part of me that is thirsty for connection to the Angels vibration.  Every day I make the conscious decision to carve time for ‘this’ time.
 
I have learned by gently pacing the floor of my thoughts in the early morning, eases wrinkles that may have gathered through restless sleeps; strange dreams, or yesterday’s unfinished business. 
 
I honour routines that offer invisible food to me.  Meditation, singing, praying and exercises like  Yoga of the Sun are nutritious meals.  I love getting up (lately I have been rising at 5:30) for my Sunrise practice. At the end of the street I live on, there is a little oasis, an alcove of trees, where i sit.  I can see the sun rise about an hour later.  One can find the sunrise anywhere! 
I find myself excited each morning as I walk across the dew filled long grass. For the past week there is a rabbit or two, out and about.  We check each other out.  I saw a skunk and walked on by. And yesterday a baby bluebird got my attention.
The stillness of the morning is tangible. The first hour of my day when I go to Sunrise, is  the best hour of my day.  I stay steady with this ritual, as it feeds me like no other person, place, or thing can. 
 
I have asked many a client,  ‘How do you stay steady with your higher self?’  Often I hear;  ‘I don’t have enough time for meditating, or going for contemplative walks to tune my inner self. ‘   
I wonder now though if this has changed for you? I mean, many have been granted the grace of extra time. If that is you, are you spending it enriching your mindfulness?

Someone sent me an article back in late April that was rather fear based and worrisome regarding - what we are going through and what is going to happen in the plan-demic.  I read it to the end surprising myself that I was allowing these kind of parasitic thoughts in.  There was so much fear in the text, that I found myself a little shaken and that is when I decided to do a cleanse.  I wanted to cleanse myself of these negative thoughts that were ‘worming’ or trying to worm their way into my field.  I wanted to put the breaks on those types of weeds.  By pulling up my discipline boots, I stayed steady and completed the cleanse between May 1st and finished 15 days later.  

Everyday I embrace the change that we are all in, and trust in the Divine Plan, not the plan-demic.  
 
My head is not in the sand in regards to what is happening on the planet. I allow mini morsels so as to not put any weight in my thoughts. I have enthusiastically embraced the wisdom of Dr. Zach Bush and his clear and panoramic view of our planet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLaVutWXju0  This video is a good start if you haven't listened to him yet. If you listen to the end, he doesn't disappoint.
 
I garden daily to keep me grounded. I love participating in natures beauty. Gardening  helps me stay steady in the moment. Making a little victory garden has made a huge difference in my body, mind and spirit.

Recently, I was gifted a book called To Hear the Angels Sing by Dorothy Maclean (An Odyssey of Co-Creation with the Deva Kingdom) First published in 1980 and again in 2008.  Dorothy as you may or may not know was the woman who made contact with the Nature Devas when she was living in the Spiritual Community of Findhorn in Scotland.  She passed away this year on March 12, 2020. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorothy_Maclean

Here is a quote from Dorothy I particularly like:
  

To communicate with Angels really requires a particular attitude of wholeness towards life, towards others and towards our selves.  I maintain that any of us can talk with Angels. The fact that I, with my very human hang-ups and perceptions, learned to do it means that the path is available for anyone else who is willing to change orthodoxies and explore his or her world in new ways.  It requires a joyful enlargement of our view of reality. A readiness to be open to our selves and our environment. And a conscious movement to embrace our own wholeness.
 

I love these words of hers in particular…

A joyful enlargement of our view of reality!  

Yesterday my siblings and Mother had a conference call with my sister Renee who lives in California. She told us she is very close to her transition.  She has suffered for the past 7 months with cancer and unfortunately there is no way her body can overcome this disease. The conversation we all had was so enriching, so full of unconditional love and laughter that I feel our ‘family soul’ was deeply blessed by her presence – through the phone.  I am inspired that my dear sister is experiencing a conscious death. She felt expanded in love. Not many embrace death. Many fear it. The call lasted 80 minutes with five of us sharing with her, one by one, our love and appreciation for all that she accomplished in her lifetime.  Ma was so strong too. Two years ago Michele my oldest sister passed.   How does a 95 year-old Mother (tomorrow she turns this tender age) handle the passing of another daughter?   

She is staying steady.

I know it has been awhile.
I hope I didn’t go on to long.  

Love and light

March 2020 - UPLIFTING

Dear Friends with Angels,

It is kind of tough out there, isn’t it? How are you coping with the feelings of uncertainty?
I hope you are making space daily to connect to your higher self, and your Angels.  Mediation is a great tool to keep us uplifted and fearless.

For the first time in 12 years giving Readings, I was blessed to give an Angel Reading to a 12 year-old girl. It was a short Reading; about 20 minutes. The connection with this young soul was precious. As I do, (as you know), I held her hands and opened myself to her messages. I further received confirming information through three Oracle cards. She was constantly nodding her head and smiling shyly as I shared with her what I was seeing. Her step-mom who had been watching from a little distance away came up to me after and thanked me with tears in her eyes.  I was gifted by this Mother who had faith in the Angels and me to give support to her daughter. This encounter inspired me to now step into short Readings.

It is always a perfect time to spread the love of Angels and Angel Intelligence. We need plenty of light to counter negativity, that can consume us if we are not so able to manage our thoughts.

I am inspired to contribute as a light worker to your hope, clarity and discernment. Thus, if you, or anyone you know may need extra support during these tender times, here is how I have been guided to be in service:

From March 15 to April 15, I am offering Pay if Forward Short Readings. In other words these Readings are free. You will be inspired to Pay it Forward in your own unique way. I trust the Angels will guide me to get to the essence of your situation, your query, your concern...promptly. You will be inspired to make your shift with more ease.

“If you can’t feed a hundred people, then just feed one.” Mother Teresa

September 2019 - Innocence

Dear Friends with Angels,

It has been awhile since I have written to you. I feel like I want to apologize, but I also know I have done nothing wrong. I am innocent. Innocence is what I felt to explore in this month's Air-Feather Newsletter.
Innocence, in its deepest sense, is not merely a lovely though sometimes fragile human state, but rather an unbreakable aspect of spiritual reality; we uncover its power of good when we warm to its presence.

How do you see, feel, and connect with innocence in your life right now?

The innocence that children so naturally express is usually thought of as the absence of something: experience, education or sophistication. But viewed spiritually, innocence is not a lack of worldly wisdom, but the presence of spiritual certainty.

Do you love how your eyes flutter and widen when you see a beautiful manifestation of nature?

No matter where we are, we can all strive for purity and innocence in our daily lives, because it's part of who we truly, spiritually are. And that is certainly a blessing!

Do you sometimes sing to yourself songs that you make up in the moment like you surely did when you were a child?

While the human mind perceives innocence as a quality most easily lost and disposed of, it's actually a quality that prevails during the harshest of life's experiences.

Do you forgive yourself, from having thoughts that do not serve your highest purpose?

When we defend innocence in children (and adults) we are defending their freedom to fulfill their life purpose - to express the purity, joy and goodness of their divine source. This is the basis of self-worth. It includes innocence; the knowledge that every one of us is given talents for the purpose of serving and blessing others.

There is such beauty in innocence. Such tenderness. Such clarity. Such curiosity.

I feel innocence when I hug a tree...when I raise my arms to the cloud shapes that look like feathers...like Angels. I love the feeling of innocence. It is youthful. It is inviting. It is collaborative. It is gentle. It is a heightened state of being.

Can you look into your eyes and see all that is innocent in you?

I feel innocence when I am in session with you. You, meaning those of you who have received a Reading with me

Recently for the 3rd time in 14 months, I gave a Reading to Julie. She carried the aura of innocence as I looked and listened to her via Skype. I saw the clear childlikeness in her presence, innocently embracing the change in her life that she helped to manifest. To willingly follow the 'clues', the 'whispers' and to innocently believe in the invisible support of Angels, surely has assisted Julie in her life's path. This is her testimony.
Hi!

I have found great value in the services Feather offers. She has a skillful way to offer ideas, concepts and guidance without a rigid idea of what things will/could look like.
I feel the strength of her connection when I am in session with her, which facilitates my connection to the higher realm.
Feather always takes the time to listen to my process, as things come up, and offers helpful insight that supports new perspectives. I am very grateful for the opportunity to have and to continue to work with Feather through my journey.

February 2019 - From her heart…

Dear Friends with Angels

I love Poetry. An ageless expression. The quintessence of thought.

In this Air-Feather Newsletter, I want to honour a poet, mentor, visionary, educator and Mother to many, Dr. Natacha Kolesar. I knew her for 32 years.
When I was contemplating what to write topic to explore for  this newsletter, a strong feeling and image of her presence came to my mind's eye.  "Oh Sister Natacha (those who knew her fondly called her sister)...so nice to sense you."  Is it you who brought the 10 doves to the yard today?"

For me, her poetry soothes my soul and expands me  with inspiration and a thirst for my heart to open more.

Even though many of you reading this, have not heard of her, I hope you will allow her poetry to pulse your heart.  
Perhaps you might be thinking/asking 'right now? You want me to read poetry?  I am too busy to read poetry.'  

So be it.

If, on the other hand you take a few moments to immerse yourself in her verse, I am positive you will feel uplifted. I suggest you scroll slowly down and feel the wonder she ignites.  

Poetry to me is prayer. If you take time for prayer, you will love what I am sharing below.

Children of Tomorrow

Children of tomorrow!
Children of the light!

Your heart, a chalice of tenderness,
your speech, delicately woven,
your worth, opulent love,
your song, "Everlasting Peace".

The water awakens your thirst,
nourishing an oasis of beauty;
your seeds grow abundantly,
bearing a new humanity.

Honour your sleeping ancestors!
Raise monuments of forgiveness!
Your new identity
will be adorned with bountiful joy!

O children of tomorrow!

Your torch will shine like the sun,
your emblem universal,
your cathedrals made of crystal
and your achievements eternal.

I See Only Fire... 
I see only fire...
A spark, a flame of life.
From the coolness of the stone,
from an excess of love in a a single cell,
from the humble sacrifice of the burning log,
from the love letter sent to the beloved, you burst ceaselessly...

And you, tiny seed!
Who established such a fire in your heart?  
Always impassive in your intimate test,
you rise victorious in lustrous beauty!

O eternal fire!
The innocence of a snowdrop,
the modesty of violets,
the pride of narcissus,
the brilliance of a daffodil;
your large family
a flaming witness of the sacred fire
lying dormant in every seed.

And you, sumptuous trees,
to whom do you extend your arms?
When on fire,
who do you want to emulate,
while your flames generously offer themselves on the alter of Mother Earth?
What an act of grace!
And you, the heart of the cosmic tree,
you, unique as you are,
when you expand, 
myriads of stars disappear
into an optical illusion.

Do you enlighten other heavens?
Do they become the reflection of lovers' eyes?
And when the Sun sets,
we feel the touch of twilight. 
Does it diffract its light
in its movements
to let us rest
from its blinding face?
Is it not you, the one and only,
who with my happiness 
comforts hearts rendered cold
by hard times?

I see only fire...
sparks...
flames of life...

P.S.  while creating this newsletter today I had a most unusual 'feather sign' from my Angels, come to me. Curious? For this short story titled - Washed Feather? go to: https://www.air-feather.com/blog/ 

November 2018 Newslater - A Visitation

She had finished her breakfast downstairs in the resident dining hall. I wheeled her back into her apartment at this Senior Residence.  I placed her in front of the window. She likes to look out the window. I picked up my sweater and saw a feather resting on the sleeve. I casually and innocently said, 
     "Oh nice, I found a feather on the sleeve of my sweater.  An Angel is here."  
She looked at me with alert eyes. 
    "What?" 
    "Oh when I find a feather, I know Angels are near by." 
I said this matter of factly. Her very blue eyes sparkled at me and held me in suspended silence for 10 seconds. I felt she was wondering if I was going to say anything else, so I did…
     "I love Angels."  
     "I do too."
As our morning pattern continued, reading the daily paper – well she looks at it more than reads.  Sometimes she asks me to read a caption under a picture. Sometimes I point to a picture in the advertising section and she says the word and seems happy that it came out okay. At 87 years, she has a growing brain tumour which is effected her speech as well as walking, to name a few of her life's changes. However, she is present…her being is very, very present.  

She puts the paper down and looks out the window. I look at her anticipating that she needs something. There is a kind of wonder in her eyes. She has a hard time speaking full sentences most of the time. Often they come out quickly as if she were to wait a second longer they would not be pronounced. She blurts out ...
     "What beautiful colours." 
Her blue eyes are sparkling again. I turned around to look where she was looking. Without saying I see what you mean, which would have been a lie, as I did not see the colours, I asked her.. 
     "What colours do you see?"
She made the shape of an o with her mouth but the word was not arriving easily. 
     "Orange?"
     "Yes, orange." 
She smiled.  
     “So many".  
     "So many colours?"
     "Yes”
     "Do you see the colour blue?" 
     "Yes." 
     "Yellow?"
     "Oh yes. Lots of yellow."  
     "Purple?" 
     "Yes."
    "Do the colours look like the northern lights?  Like the Aurora…"
She interrupted me with a determination in her voice.
     "No, it’s not that."  
Silence again. She kept looking out with wonder in her eyes.
     "You are lucky to see the colours."
     "So are you."
We had a little giggle. Her giggles are affirming to her and me. She reached for a chair (that had wheels attached) and pulled it slowly to her side, and looked back out where the ‘colours were’.
      "This chair is for Richard." 
She placed her arm on the armrest of that other chair, her fingers moving as if she/they were holding hands. She looked at me to say something.
     "Thanks for sharing what you see with me."  
She gave me a smile and turned her head towards Richard.
I stopped the questions. 

I trust, I witnessed a visitation as I felt a calming and beautiful presence sitting beside her.
I trust, Angels show up when we have the faith to believe in them and their signs. 
I love Angels.

OCTOBER 2018 - ELECTRICITY IS…

Dear Friends with Angels,
Symbolically, one can say electricity is the type of heating that corresponds to spiritualists. Why? Because true spiritualists are people who know how to connect directly to the power station of the divine world to set in motion their inner equipment. They turn on the switch and immediately feel a beneficial heat, a spiritual heat filling their heart. 
All beings have in their subtle bodies ‘equipment’ that enables them to instantly give off a beneficial heat;  but to make this equipment work they must seek contact with the divine world.  I was particularly inspired by these words: connect directly to the power station of the divine world from the above quotation from Master/Teacher Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov. I thought his words to be a great way to help shape this AIR Newsletter.
 
How is your connection to the power station these days?  Is it rusty? Is it crisp like the fall winds? Is it plugged up like an old drain? Is your connection melting liquid gold through all your chakras? 
 
Have you heard the whispers of your Angels lately, coaching and inspiring you? 
 
Lately I am dusting out thoughts that no longer serve me.  I am putting a shine to my mind. I only want to be present to the best in myself and the best in others.  Yes I can see 'dust' on others too – symbolically speaking – but I chose to get past those images and reach for their shine.   
 
As you may or may not know, for the past year on a part-time basis, I work with the elderly as a Caregiver.  Last  week I was in a room at a Senior Residence – in the lock down dementia ward. They were gathered for the activity ‘bowling’. A homemade wooden long rectangle box a ‘bowling alley on wheels’ was the equipment at hand, which included ten-3 inch high pins, and two bright orange balls. While I was sitting beside my client, cheering him on (as he was considered one of the better bowlers present) I looked around at the others gathered. Oh dear...some were drooling, some lost in their minds, others constantly shaking, a few with blank stares, a few mumbling. I could have been overwhelmed with sadness at what I was seeing as this was a first for me. Instead I thought to myself this is a moment to set in action my inner equipment. I purposely looked at each person, although most gave me no eye-contact. I wondered what each of their life stories were, but knew I would never find out. I felt that the drugs that had overtaken their bodies and minds were partially cutting the links to their divine equipment. Then I imaged for each one of them, beams of light streaming into them from the 'power station'. By the time I finished this conscious intent, it was my clients turn to bowl.  I was back in another present moment, hoping he would get a 'strike 'so I could hear cheers of joy raining upon everyone present. 
Later when my shift was over I thought a lot about  dignity and compassion in action for the elderly.



SEPTEMBER 2018 - RETURN - RETURNING

Dear Friends with Angels,

Return/Returning...this is the theme I am exploring in this Newsletter, as these words have been on my mind and heart. Why do I return to some thoughts, feelings and actions? Why do certain prayers and devotional modalities call me back to them? Why does communication with the invisible world of Angels, bring me a sense of returning to a larger consciousness? Why does the weather, wherever you are, have a way of initiating conversations and or breaking silence between people, thus returning us to common ground? 

This summer here in BC the smoke and fire were constantly present - the tears of the trees - constantly returning their pain to us through harsh breathing conditions, smelly air, displacing people, animals, birds and for some hope. A daily death from destructive fires reminding us of our fragile time here on Mother Earth. 

A fragile time too, for Michele my older sister whom I have been writing about now and again this year in other Newsletters. After being told she had two short months to live on May 17, Michele returned to her Maker on July 28th, 72 days later. In my immediate family no one has passed since 1988 - that was the year my Dad transited, 30 years ago. I found myself returning to images of him, suffering as well from a lung disease, different from Michele's but still the lungs. 

Where did Michele go when she took her last breath? Where did she return too? You may have answered this question in a nano-second. Pending on your belief system, for many of you the word Heaven would have come quickly to your thoughts. And how wonderful is that word! Imagine so many people believe in Heaven that we fill ourselves with faith that this amazing place exists for all departed souls. Many of us prayed that her transition would return her to a place of peace. It has only been 36 days since she passed as I write this. This is so short a time if you think about it. Has she fully returned?

Perhaps I am questioning too much right now, but when someone close to you passes the energetic bonds between you get stirred, get re-adjusted, as they no longer can be fed the same way through that person's eyes, laughter, physical contact...typed words in an email.  

Straight up...I really miss her. I miss her tenacity. Her laughter as it was contagious. Her feistiness and her strength of character one could not ignore. I miss her questioning me. To be honest, Michele had a hard time for years to except that I trust in Angels and believe Angels are present in my life. Two days before I said goodby to her, after giving her palliative care support for two weeks, she asked me, "Hey you said you wanted to give me an Angel Reading - now is the time."  Out of the blue just like that. "I want it now!" Michele was demanding in her last days, but it was something I just got used to. I fetched 3 Oracle card decks. I knew I couldn't give her a 'full reading' so I explained briefly something about each deck.  We began. Each time I shuffled a deck I invited her to say stop and that would be the card. (Most of you know this not my normal way of giving a Reading).

The first card that showed up was Did you Ask Your Angels For Help? We laughed immediately and she shouted "Yes I did! Lets get the next card"...shuffle shuffle shuffle - "Stop!" The card - You Are Guided And Protected appears. "Oh I like that message. We laughed. The last card we stopped at was Organic food. I talked to her briefly how this Angel (Raphael) brings the healing colour of green light to someone when they are not well. "Oh, she said, "look at the walls in my house, they are painted green. I never knew that. And of course I love organic food, lately more than ever. This was nice to do with you. Thanks sister." We hugged.

I was comforted that she had opened to my belief in Angels and accepted me just a little bit more. This was a special moment for both of us. Accepting each other's reality returns us to the vastness of who we all are!  Really it does! A few days later she asked her husband to arrange for a friend of theirs to come to her Celebration of Life and sing the song - In the Arms of an Angel.  Love you Michele!
 

JUNE 2018 WINGED THOUGHTS

Dear Friends with Angels,

I have missed communicating with all of you.
When I landed back in BC in late April, I had to immediately jump into my theatre work with children and of course settle into my life 'style' here on the Ranch. 
I wanted to share in this Newsletter a recent wonderful goal I accomplished... I fasted for 3 days! It had been 9 years since I had last taken on this challenge. Now for some of you that may not be a big goal, nor an interesting one to reach. For me it was a goal of mind over matter. It was a fast on all kinds of levels. First of all, not eating solids I found surprisingly easy to do. I supplemented only with apple juice occasionally and water.  I listened to my body and was so surprised the most hunger pangs I felt was 15 minutes before I broke the fast with a simple soup! What I loved about this fast...was the clarity of mind and heart that I had. I was also so so present. The time went fast and I had energy for the 3 days. Only in the afternoon would I pause on the couch and read for 1-2 hours. I had no headaches or other body pains. I also at this time, 'fortunately' had internet problems so I was fasting from influences, information and my addiction to the waves. Honestly, at first this was more challenging than not eating...how to entertain my mind...then it slowly slipped away this desire to look on FB or check if I had an email, or just simple do research. Fasting allowed me to stop. And I loved it!

There is a lot of information on line on how to fast, and I could give you my technique if you write to me, that is if you are inspired by possibly 'stopping' in your life just for a few days. I can give you the guidelines I used.

l also wanted to share in this Newsletter a little about my work with children. It always amazes me how we collectively put together a theatrical production in only 6 weeks...24 hours of training. Children sharpen my intuition. They push my buttons of resistance. They tickle my heart to open wide to accept their foibles, unique personalities and testy (at times) attitudes. In my opinion, when children are in 'creative mode' with me I feel they are 'acting' from intuition. They see into the invisible and live the story way past the rehearsals. They develop their own back story of their character and another play is almost formed. They see what we are developing with so much detail and pizzazz but settle for a simple set, a few lights, a home-made costume and a welcoming audience. And then it is all over...just like that. No long goodbyes or annualizing what we did or could of done better. Sure a group photo or two and then often a simple hug and 'thank you teacher' and they are gone out of my life until the next time. Children hold space for me to be all that I am as a Theatre Director, writer and producer of children' programs and shows. When I am co-creating with them, I often see them as my Angels and my teachers. Their were 15 'angels' in the production entitled Everybody Belongs keeping me in their light and joy. I like to think that the 'baby' we co-created was birthed and becomes a seedling in their memories, their hearts and mine too. I continue to count my blessings I have the energy, inspiration and commitment to keep working with children. We have so much fun together! If you are curious you can see my work with children at http://www.denisebertrand.com

I have told you before I like writing and reading poetry. I am in the mood to include one of mine. This poem was written around the time I knew I wouldn't be able to be a Mother, as I was past the child-bearing years. I also wrote it for women who due to physical problems cannot have a baby and for those who choose not to bring a child into the world. 

                                                We are the women with sapphire womb's.
                                                A crystalline design, 
                                                a different kind of child
                                                is growing in our deepness.
 
                                                We are harvesting our narrative's
                                                releasing invisible seeds that offer
                                                a genetic coding
                                                somewhere in between X and Y.
 
                                                We are the women that belong to a family
                                                larger than one blood line.  
                                                We are an inclusive lineage,
                                                seeking sunbeams, becoming gold in our earth.
 
                                                We are re-defining images given to us
                                                that have bound us for too long.
                                                This is a choice we have made...
                                                to give a shape to an echoed sound.

APRIL 2018 I WAS A WITNESS

Dear Friends with Angels,

In my last newsletter (February 2018 see below) I shared some information about a video series called The Healing Miracle – The Truth about Stem Cells. Many of you wrote back to me and expressed your gratitude, as you knew nothing about stem cell therapy.  
I have an experience to share about this ‘miracle'.
On March 21st, my eldest sister Michele had her first Stem Cell Treatment and I was the witness.

A little background…for the past 18 months my sister has been suffering from Pulmonary Hypertension. This disease has made it very difficult for her to get oxygen into her blood stream. She is constantly short of breath, thus it makes her tire easily. For seven months she has been on a very strong drug 24/7 which is attached to her arm and ‘drips’ into her system. This drug like any, has a load of side effects – one of them being water retention. Thus her legs or ankles are often swollen, prohibiting her to go for walks, which she loves to do. Also climbing stairs is often a huge challenge. The Lung Specialist's in early March 2018 told her she may only live this year.

The experience:
Often stem cells are extracted from one's adipose (fat cells) and then put through a specific machine that seperates the cells from the fat. Well, Michele did not have enough fat on her body, for this procedure to take place. Another way to abstract the cells is from one's bone marrow. When the doctor told us this was the method he would have to use, I was a little stunned, as I remember reading this procedure could be more painful than taking the cells from the fat at one's hips.

It has never been easy for me to look at blood, or someone's open sore, or even a blackened toenail. I jiggle all over inside. I have to turn away. But, something was in 'effect' when I was the witness to Michele's treatment. The doctor asked her if she wanted to go through with the procedure. My sister said: "Of course, you can take the cells from my bone marrow. I am here. I want this done. I have nothing on it. I have been through a lot of pain, what's a little more.' The doctor assured her it would be a quick 'operation' and that he would go slow. In that moment, it was like all feelings of fear (in me) vanished. I knew I had to be stronger for my sister.

She lied down on her stomach and I held her hand. Gentle relaxing music was playing in the background. We talked about gentle music and the effect it can have on someone under stress. The doctor, even as he was preparing the needle to go into her spine, joined the conversation. I do remember I was holding her hand tighter than she was holding mine, as I watched the doctor put the first needle into her lower back to freeze the area. After five minutes he then put another long needle into her spine and connected it to a vial and slowly he took out two large vials of blood. I was looking! I didn't have those queasy feelings! I felt altered in that moment as I was connecting into the invisible world of Angels and also connecting in with the doctor's benevolent presence. I felt clarity, calm and a deep trust that all was going to go well or my sister. 
After he drew out enough blood, we waited 30 minutes while the doctor 'spun out' the stem from her blood. The nurse called us back into the therapy room. The next step was to inject her stem cells into a vein in her arm. However the vein was hard to find as her arms are quite thin. It took him two attempts to find a vein, and even though I watched this action too, I did not feel weak. This process took five minutes and her 1st stem cell therapy treatment was finished. Immediately my sister felt relief. She felt very energized and her breathing became clearer and stronger. After two hours she walked a distance that just a day earlier would not have been possible without her stopping five times!
I asked Michelle if she wanted to share something in this Newsletter. She volunteered a Poem. "I am new to writing poetry, but sometimes I get very clear moments."  Here is one of them:

Little clouds of puffiness, dabbed here and there...
at the point of a painters brush
contrasted to green tufts of forest... 
 I love the highway!

Yes Michelle is on the highway of her own miracle. She will have two more stem cell treatments within the next 2 months and she deeply knows and feels that she has made the right decision for her body. She is determined to live! I am believing along with family and many friends that she is inside her own ‘miracle'.
Today, April 3rd, is her 64th birthday. I honour her courage and determination to heal. I wish her the best year going forward.
I was a witness to an extraordinary medical procedure that is cutting edge in medicine. Medicine changes every 10 years and stem cell research and knowledge has been steadily growing with significant advances for those same 10 years plus! It is quite clear to me that Stem Cell Therapy is here to stay for a long time.  
 
For me, again it is clear, what you believe sustains you. What you believe in shapes your future.

FEBRUARY 2018 IF YOU ARE CURIOUS

Dear Friends with Angels,

Recently for ten days in a row, I was in such a state of curiosity as I watched a docu series called: The Healing Miracle the Truth about Stem Cells. I was SO amazed at the developments in this form of healing. The last time I had been made aware of Stem Cell Therapy was when I was living in Singapore. During that time in 2006, my boyfriend's father Mr. Tan was suffering from Leukemia. The Church he belonged to was 'promoting' an alternative doctor who was using stem cells from the client's bone marrow to treat Leukemia. Mr. Tan had a strong will to live so he 'signed on' for treatments. At that time it was a very controversial healing treatment and especially in Singapore as the Government had a firm grip on its people. But, Mr. Tan had a lot of courage. In the end his stem cell treatments prolonged his life for 3 years. 

So much has changed since then!

Taken from your own fat, from a simple procedure the stem cells already naturally present in your body have the power to heal damage caused by injury, disease, neurological decline and even the process of aging! 
Dr. Tami Meraglia (who is featured in Episode 9) is a double board certified stem cell surgeon who owns and runs a stem cell centre in Seattle has done over 5000 clinical studies with all clients having no adverse side effects. Mostly all clients took to the treatments wherein chronic pain (especially joint) had left the body in 2-4 weeks and complete mobility in 2-4 months!

Miracles of healing are happening every day with medical advancements, and with our Angels. Dr. Johnathon Landow a medical practitioner and health care entrepreneur said in the Q & A episode "I believe medicine is now becoming a Benevolent Revolution. I love these two words together...Benevolent Revolution! I think about Angels in this way.  They are benevolent and they have for years and years revolutionized people's faith in Miracles.

If you are curious to see the 1st episode of The Healing Miracle the Truth about Stem Cells here is the Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ri1EeB4oCnM If you want to see more episodes send me an email at airfeather4@gmail.com and I will gladly send you the next one in the series.

Announcing Two New Services

1) For New Clients:
Are you hesitant about committing to a full Angel Intuitive Reading? Would you like to build trust with me and my abilities to receive messages from the Angels for you? Do you just need a quick answer for a pounding question? Do you have budget constraints? Or do you need a boost of faith? If you have answered yes to any of the questions then...let's talk. For more information go to https://www.air-feather.com/request/

2) Follow UP Angel Therapy Session: 
(This service is for clients who have already received an Angel Intuitive Reading.) 
At the request of some of my clients, I am now offering Follow UP consultations. Why? After a Reading we are more aligned with our intentions, goals, hopes and dreams and then...sometimes we forget to practice keeping our channels open to the messages from our Angels. A Follow UP session is like a 'tune-up" to a beautiful vibration that is always beneficial to you.

A client recently submitted this testimonial. 

I recently had an Angel Intuitive Reading by Feather. It was a very comforting Reading with lots of guidance. I had been going through a really hard time medically with a loved one and was really worried about his frame of mind. 
In a time like this it is very easy to lose your faith and get depressed. I called on Feather to do a ‘Follow-UP reading’. 
It was the best thing I could have asked for. It was the beginning of restoring my faith and my loved one’s health. I have had Readings before and it is hard to remember everything that is revealed to you. The follow-up Reading clarified my thinking and dispelled any doubts that I had. In order to manifest things it is essential to have strong faith.
I usually do have strong faith but it is easy to waver in a situation like I just went through. It was comforting to be able to contact Feather and have a Reading done quickly.... when I needed it most.
I thank the Angels for interceding.”  Ailsa

I hope your life during the month of February is filled with wonder, joy and the enchanting sounds of birds returning. 

Stay curious...
Love and Light,
