Losing loved ones early....

09/02/2010

Once again I am putting on hold the post I planned next because a more timely topic has presented itself. Don't you love when that happens? I do! Feels very 'connected'.  
Last year on Sept.11th I lost my younger brother Wayne. I posted a comment about him on my personal Facebook page yesterday which started a conversation with a friend about loved ones who leave us early. The first such for me was my only big sister who chose to depart at the age of 41 after a long illness. I was in my early thirties and devastated. When I instinctively visited her in solitude in the private viewing room after the rest of my family had gone, I immediately sensed her there. A sense of calm came over me and I knew she was in a better, painless place. Soon after that I visited a medium for the first time in my life. Lorraine came in and rose from her wheelchair and began dancing and singing. She told me she was happy. I burst into bittersweet tears. I often sensed her after that and she became the centre of my guides and angels mastermind team. I value that so much.


Even so I am only human. I have since lost my mom, an older brother and the aforementioned little (about 6’ to my 5’+1/2”) brother, plus many others who were close to me. Aside from my mom, the oldest was 63, the youngest in her twenties. While I feel many of them around me and know most have joined my mastermind team and am exceedingly grateful and in awe of that, my human heart misses them and I mourn the loss of their comforting Earthly presence. The story of Suzy is indeed one of such a loss and how a human can find themselves again.  

This quote from the friend, Marie-Claire, is what prompted this post: “Maybe you are losing so many of them because you were surrounded by magnificent people”.


Yes indeed I am blessed to be surrounded by magnificent beings, both on the Earthly plane and the many others who may or may not have ever existed on this dense planet and who grace my ‘core’ mastermind group, whom I simply call ‘My Team’.  

** Addendum Sept.11** This is the first anniversary of Wayne's passing and it struck me why his passing hit me so hard, aside from the fact he was my closest friend growing up. With most of the others I could see where they may have completed the journey they had agreed to take on this Earth. But with Wayne (as with the youngest), there seemed to be a promise of more he could accomplish here. I do though, feel, appreciate and cherish his presence on whatever plane he has chosen for this now.

Mastermind Teams

Mastermind teams will be a big part of the next book, which at this point is simply a pile of bones, but Suzy certainly formed several such teams in The Storyteller. From Napoleon Hill in Think and Grow Rich written over 80 years ago to present day Law of Attraction gurus such as found in The Secret, the concept of Mastermind groups has been advocated as a necessary element of successful individuals. In essence a Mastermind team is a group of people who come together for a definite purpose. The team can be as small as a husband and wife, as large as 50 or more as was the case of Andrew Carnegie, who presented the idea to Mr Hill all those years ago. The purpose can be as mundane (though certainly no less important) as forming a successful family unit, to bringing together a team with various skillsets which enables each member to succeed in a certain industry. Mr Carnegie climbed the ladder of success by his associations with others in the steel industry, and became one of the greatest industrialists of all time, as well as an extraordinary philanthropist. He appreciated and taught that one can not do it alone.

Are you forming Mastermind teams, or are you trying to do it alone? Suzy's most profound group is her Soul Team, that core group of guides and angels she calls upon to assist in every definite purpose she envisions and constitutes.

My own 'Team' brought me several Mastermind teams as the book evolved. My two daughters Shelley and Taneen never failed to encourage my definite purpose, even when they must have shaken their heads at their mom's folly, and along with the rest of my family and friends became my mastermind support team and kept me going. The editor, Dale Nielsen, showed a dedication to the book which was invalubale. We were a great team of two. Others were the cover illustrator, Dana Mooney and the incomparable Brian from CoversAreUs, without whom I do not know how the books could have navigated the Kindle publishing adventure.

Thinking of your various teams as 'Mastermind' groups can be invaluable. Try it. you may just discover you have many more than you think.

    Sharon was born an Intuitive. We all are, most of us just don't realize it. Sharon did the human thing and started out a serial entrepreneur. Serial because she was always searching. Until one day not long after 9-11 she was forced to close a business - the only 'failure' she'd ever had. She was devastated. She lost her way. Of course she did not know it at the time but the truth was she had really found her way... to her truth, to her calling. She had always had a thirst for knowledge and a knowing at an early age that religion as we knew it did not ring true for her. How could God be loving and forgiving if He issued all those 'punishments' He was purported to have committed. Sharon began to doubt God even existed at all, so she embarked upon a search for the truth. And the truth for her is certainly God does exist, only not as a Man but as Source, the Universe, Spirit, whatever one wants to call it. The other thing Sharon had always known was that she was a writer. After she closed her store, she began to study in earnest and put pen to paper. She wrote several 'practice' books. And then one day, as she was lying in bed in an alpha or theta state, she's never certain which, she was informed that she must write 'that' book. The one she'd always had inside her. She resisted, but you know the old saw, the more she resisted the more it persisted. It seemed a massive undertaking and she doubted she could do it. She wasn't ready, she had other projects on the go, she couldn't afford the time. But she was compelled to write the book, pure and simple. She found herself making notes on her mini recorder at all odd hours of the day and night. Books, interviews, people found their way to her. Mediums would suddenly pop up out of nowhere and give her a 'reading' as if it were the most natural thing in the world.  
    As was meant, Sharon found her way again while writing this book, and it is her fondest hope that in some small way, it may help the reader find theirs too.
