Agua Azul's Melody

by Tina Winterlik with help of AI

From the Blog Adventurez in Mexico

https://adventurezinmexico.blogspot.com

Breathtaking turquoise falls,

Memorizing any child, anyone at all.

A testament to water's power,

A lesson in nature's gentle hour.

Surrounded by jungle, green and lush,

Vendors now fill the quiet hush.

Since '90, much has changed,

Respect the locals, it's not too strange.

No photos without their grace,

A simple rule in this sacred place.

Angel played in waters cold,

Careful near falls, the stories told.

People drown, so heed the stream,

Swim downstream, let safety gleam.

Watch your bags, be aware,

But love this place, feel the air.

Three times I've felt its change,

Each visit, life's rearrange.

Life-changing moments in turquoise hue,

A bond with nature, forever true.

Nearby Agua Clara, turquoise lake,

A step back in time, a moment to take.

Less developed, a timeless feel,

What Agua Azul was, a dream so real.

Tours may stop, I cannot say,

But in our hearts, it's here to stay.

Kids with treats, a sweet exchange,

We shared fairies, mermaids, a range.

In Agua Azul's embrace we found,

A world where nature's songs abound.

Respect, joy, and lessons clear,

A place of wonder, always near.

Gibsons is a lovely little town. I remember hearing about Gibsons at least 40 years ago as I grew up watching Beachcombers on CBC. A couple of years ago, Angel and I made a day trip out there looking for a new place to live. I've also visited on a boating trip. This is really sad news that anyone would even consider such an atrocity. Let's help out and get the message out there that this project is not appropriate. Keep Gibsons the way it is, BEAUTIFUL!!

Prayer for Hurricanes
In the name of the all- powerful Creator
I invoke you, great Angel Zamiel,
As the Angel of Hurricanes,
To calm the fury of this terrible storm.
May you divert it from it's path from the most vulnerable places
to blow itself out where few can come to harm
I honor and thank you for hearing my prayer
In the name of the Almighty.

Do You Believe in Angels? For Earthquakes & Hurricanes

Blog post by Tina Winterlik © 2011

http://tinawinterlik.blogspot.com

So a few years ago my little girl and I were walking past a yard sale. I didn't really want to stop, but you know how kids are and so we started looking at things. My little girl, Angel, is very talkative and she struck up a conversation with the lady there. When she found out Angel's name she said, "I have a book for you!"

She gave us the book and I've really enjoyed reading it! It's called the BOOK OF ANGELS by Francis Melville. http://www.amazon.com/Book-Angels-Guidance-Comfort-Inspiration/dp/0764154036

I swear the angels have really listened and helped so many times, with little miracles and big. I took that book to Mexico and back and it holds a very special place in my life and heart.

There are two special prayers that I want to share now.

I hope it's okay with you Francis. I really think we need them right now. And the more people to share this prayer the better. So please share, it can not hurt, it can only bring us closer together. Positive energy is what we need.

For Hurricanes
In the name of the all- powerful Creator
I invoke you, great Angel Zamiel,
As the Angel of Hurricanes,
To calm the fury of this terrible storm.
May you divert it from it's path from the most vulnerable places
to blow itself out where few can come to harm
I honor and thank you for hearing my prayer
In the name of the Almighty.

He also states "Your invocation should be addressed to the four winds, starting in the east and working clockwise". Any number of candles may be burned. Visualize the calm of the storm and imagine drawing in the winds spiraling around it, calming them until all is still and peaceful.

* Be VERY CAREFUL WITH CANDLES! Never leave them unattended. Watch out for kids and pets.

For Earthquakes
To Angel Suiel

In the name of the Almighty Creator,
Who allows all thing to be,
I invoke you, great Angel Suiel,
As Ruler of Earthquakes,
To provide the means of warning,
Against impending upheaval.
May you ease the birth pangs of Mother Earth,
That she shudder less violently.
May you guide our builders to build more safely.
I honor you and thank you for your mercy.

To invoke Suiel we can light four white candles, symbolizing hope and stability. We can burn a little myrrh.

May the angels watch over us and bless us.

London Riot Cleanup: Mexican Broom Wave

Rioting Still Going On- London- Meditate for Peace

Blog post by Tina Winterlik © 2011

http://tinawinterlik.blogspot.com

Here is a very interesting quote from the New York Times

As Rioting Widens, Cameron Deploys 10,000 More Police: http://nyti.ms/nJRIUQ
"... the rioting raised new questions about the political sustainability of the Cameron government’s spending cuts, particularly the deep cutbacks in social programs. These have hit the country’s poor especially hard, including large numbers of the minority youths who have been at the forefront of the unrest."

and I believe it's applicable here in BC in some ways as Gordon Campbell did the same thing. I pray that we don't ever see tragic events like this it's so scary. We had one night of rioting and I was traumatized I can't imagine what the people in England are going thru. I am so sorry for all of you.

Saying prayers for everyone over there (especially in Nottingham where I have family), they are talking of cutting off the blackberries and possibly using rubber bullets. So much terrible negative energy. We need to collectively pray for peace.

Once again I share these videos and ask you to please watch them and share them, we have to power to create positive energy and events. We Can Do This!! Let's take time to Meditate for Peace!

Hurricane BEATRIZ- Mexico- West Coast

Blog post by Tina Winterlik © 2011

http://tinawinterlik.blogspot.com

UPDATE: Yay BEATRIZ HAS DISSIPATED, do you believe our prayers and positive thoughts helped. I do!!

There is a hurricane hitting Mexico's West Coast today. Please I ask you to take a moment and say a prayer, to think a calming thought...for winds to calm, for water to calm...for Mother Earth to calm down, for the wind and the rain to calm. I am praying for all the wonderful people in those areas that we met when we travelled, for friends and families. I am sending this little angel to watch over you all. Please God look after all these wonderful people and keep them out of harms way. Please Mother Nature, let there be peace and calm.---

Do you ever wonder if all the tensions and negative energy around us create these negative events in nature? I heard a man speaking recently saying that we are one with nature...we are not outside nature. Perhaps if we all calm down, Mother Nature will calm down.

We Really Miss You Moma

Blog post by Tina Winterlik © 2011

http://tinawinterlik.blogspot.com

Mother's Day is tough.
It's been tough since I lost my mom in 2007, and I can finally talk about it now with out getting all teary and choking up. That just sort of happened in the last few months. Not sure what it is, peace, calm, numbness.

It's Angel that cries. They say 8 is really hard because that's when children realize we are mortal. She misses her Grama so much lately and cries often. Tonight I spent along time consoling her.

Angel helping Grama do her buttons

She says how much she misses her soft, soft skin. She wants to give a letter to the mailman, get him to take it to the wizards and get them to turn back time. She wants to give Grama a big Smooch and make little wool doll for her.

I feel like a big meany. I'm not overwhelmed with tears and grief, I'm dried up, it took 4 years, but I don't feel the deep empty sadness that caused the tears to flow whenever I thought her.

This last move was tough and I shed a lot of tears then, I have alot of my mom's things and when I unpacked them from storage they brought out tons of memories and emotions. Maybe that's why I feel peaceful, I feel her all around me.

I feel sad for Angel. Losing her Grama so young, I only had my Grama til I was 18 but still I had her for so much longer than Angel. We have lovely surrogate grandmas that have stepped up to the plate and comforted and played Grandma for Angel, but still it's not the same and they aren't around all the time so it's hard for my little cherub, and that fact she has no grandparents sucks.

Part of me starts to say, "Well if you hadn't had her at 40" but you can what if things to death. It's just life.

This is life.

I guess my point in all this is don't take your family for granted, EVER

Various Family Photo- Copyrighted

Document Life. Take tons of photos & video. Video is beautiful, it captures sound. Record your parents and children's stories.

I miss my mom's voice, I didn't have a video camera til later, and I don't even have a phone message of my mom's voice. I wish I could hear her. I can if I concentrate, or a memory triggers it, but I'd love to hear her voice again.

I'm the one with the Teddy bear

I don't mean to be a bummer on Mother's Day!

I just want you to Really Appreciate the People you Love and That Love You.

Go out and Hug everyone & "Tell Them You Love Them."

Don't hold back, you've got nothing to lose.

An Angel for Tuscaloosa Alabama

Blog post by Tina Winterlik © 2011

http://tinawinterlik.blogspot.com

While yesterday we were enjoying the beautiful celebration of William and Kate, terrible things happened in Tuscaloosa, I am sending prayers for the people who lost their lives and for the ten-fold of people who loved those people and are scared, and hurt and trying to pick up the pieces and carry on.

Seeing the videos and destruction and thinking about the frightened children and their parents and the impact it will have on their lives just makes me feel like crying.

Nature is violent as she is calm. What can we learn, what have we learned. It's obvious the storms getting worse from the global warming, but is it also a combo of things, like people in growing numbers building their homes in this area known for tornados.

Like Wizard of OZ and Dorothy, people used to climb down into the root cellar, is their something we can learn from that.

In Mexico, my friend Gloria, so told me that after HURRICANE Pauline, that it was the round buildings that survived.

Can we change our structures, what can we do to cope with these disasters, and lessen their impact.

Today I Want to send an Angel to Alabama, to all those souls who have passed and all the frightened souls who remain. We love you! We are praying for you!!

Prayers for the People of Tuscaloosa, Alabama
