Liz Cook has written a book review on “End of  Days” by Sylvia Browne. See it here:

“Don’t Call Them Ghosts: The Spirit Children of Fontaine Manse” by Kathleen McConnell. © 2004. Llewellyn Publications. ISBN 0-7387-0533-0.

Based on a true story, Kathleen McConnell wrote of her experiences while living in the Fontaine Manse.

The book started with their very first experience with the inhabitants that were already in place when Kathleen and her husband bought the house – experiences that began only two days after they moved in.

Most books written about ‘haunted houses’, and their occupants, are usually centered on the earthly person or family working to rid their house of the spirits; not this book.

Kathleen discovers there are three spirits occupying the house, and determined that they were all children; and since she couldn’t see them, nor hear their words, she named them Angel Girl, Buddy and The Baby.

Kathleen’s heart went out to these three spirit children – and, in a way, she became like their adoptive mother. She scolded them when they played loudly while her own infant was sleeping; she let them know she loved them; included them in Christmas…and, except for her husband, she did all this without ever discussing their presence with her own family.

I really enjoyed this unusual, yet heart warming, approach to sharing a space with earthbound spirits – a truly unique perspective.

I recommend this book for everyone.

Humans – me included – have a tendency to see here and now, and how things may effect ‘me’. We often forget there is a much larger ‘picture’ that we aren’t always able to see.

But hey, aren’t humans known for being flexible and able to adjust?

Yes, I too get a bit flustered, or frustrated, when my best laid plans go awry – but over the years, I (finally!) have learned that things get delayed or cancelled for very good reasons – I just may never learn of the reason, and that’s okay by me.

Sometimes we get frustrated when our plans are detoured, delayed or completely fall apart.

Most of us have experienced this in one form or another. For example:

You were invited somewhere, maybe at the last minute, and grudgingly went. When you got there, you met your spouse/life partner. If you hadn’t gone….

You, in a moments thought, changed your route that you usually take to work – only to find out later  – that if you had taken your normal route, you would’ve been stuck, or involved in, a major accident.

Or, you had sudden misgivings about taking your scheduled flight, so you don’t go…

Or everything ‘conspired’ against you to make you late for your appointment – yet, even though you were late, everything worked out better than you could’ve thought.

Or, you were scheduled for a road trip, yet your seemingly perfect tire blew. As your trip was temporarily delayed – you find out that had you gone earlier, as originally planned, you would’ve been stuck in the middle of nowhere because of  a horrendous storm.

And, sometimes we forget that our time – human time – is just that. Our guides/guardians/Powers-That-Be do not follow human time.

I work hard now to be flexible and adjust – because I know my plans or decisions are made with a much more limited view and understanding than our guides/guardians and the Powers-That-Be have. I, for one, am glad that I have unseen guidance.
