Handwritten HUGS

When I offer to write your own intuitive message, what does that mean? Well, it means that you would get a snail mail note written with you exclusively in mind. It will usually contain words of comfort, maybe an analogy of some sort to help you shift a prospective to forward, maybe even something amusing to get a smile. It may also reflect something you’ve been thinking on and be a nudge for you to continue on that path.

I’ve written HUGS as God/Spirit led messages and people have written back to say, “I was thinking on doing that very thing you mentioned.” Or, “I needed those words of comfort you wrote. I needed to be reminded to slow down or I’m doing my best.”

This started out as a random nudge to be kind to someone I didn’t know by sending them a letter of prayer and encouragement. That one letter sparked what has now been many years of encouragement on paper, sent to people’s mailbox, giving them that space and comfort when they read the letter, and sometimes the keeping of their letter as a treasure of continued care.

I am always warmed when a friend or person says, “I took out that note to read again and it brought more comfort to me.” This, to me, is a spark of light from God/Spirit sent to stand the test of time. That, in my thinking, is a super awesome gift to give.

If you’d like a note or know of someone to send a note to, please do get with me by contacting on the next page. I’d be happy to put pen to paper for you or a loved one.

Your choosing and God’s divineness

We have free will and the ability to choose and create our lives in whatever way we see fit. I completely believe this. I also believe God puts divine incidents in place from time to time, either because we’ve asked for them or because we needed that in the bigger picture of our lives.

You may ask me, “April, how do I tell the difference?” Well, here’s how I see it.

After I had graduated from high school, I had a choice to either go visit some relatives in another state for a month or start trade school. I chose trade school over the adventure. I love gaining knew knowledge and there was new knowledge to be gained at the school.

I met my husband at that school, almost from the first day. I believe God sent him upon my path because he’s exactly what I needed. Looking back now, I am what he needed as well. We’re a magnificent fit for each other in the deeper feelings of the soul.

But, let us look at the bigger picture for a moment. I could have chosen to go visit relatives. Maybe I would have met someone there who understands me. Maybe my future husband would have met another girl within that month. Maybe, after going on the trip, then coming back for school, he would have been right there waiting for me as I arrived at a different time, but still have arrived.

He took a series of actions himself to get him to the point of going to that school. His own journey was filled with his very own choices and that’s the course he created.

Even then, in meeting each other, we still had to test compatibility and get to know one another. That took some time as well. It wasn’t until years later that I understood the depth of what we’d become. That is not to say I thought I “settled” on the next person, but it is to say God knew we needed each other and the “why” of us needing each other. It was a match made in divineness.

So, while I’m making choices and he’s making choices, we came upon each other in divineness and made the choice to be together and stuck like glue ever since.

I could throw in other possibilities…such as…. I could have met someone else that would have been a benefit to my life. He could have met someone else who would have been beneficial to his life. I don’t necessarily think there is only the ONE solution as this world is so vast and diverse and filled with many choices of people and situations to encounter. I do think some choices are because of divine intervention for a better life in ways that matter to us and for bigger picture reasons as well.

If I wouldn’t have met my husband, I don’t know that I would have explored the psychic arts. I may not have realized my talents and gifts or even felt okay to use them. My intuition would have been heightened as I was using that in my waitressing career long before I explored those avenues, but the other things, who knows.

This isn’t to say I couldn’t have met someone else who would have given me the tools and knowledge to explore the psychic arts, there are many people in this world and I could have made a friend or found another partner who was one to explore those paths as well, etc. So, I could have ignored the “divineness” put upon my path with my current husband and done something else. I think about that from time to time of how ordinary my life would have been had I either stayed with someone else I dated or found someone else along those lines as opposed to meeting my husband. The possibilities are endless really. Our choices in life are great, how we create and go forward is such a magical, magnificent realm of possibilities. Amazing.

So, in this way, God’s divine intervention allowed for a “best case scenario” of needs from each of us as well as the start of my journey into developing my gifts to today, writing this blog for you.

This is how I see the difference between what we choose and what God divinely puts before us. I hope, in some way, it makes sense. Look at your own life, see how things transpired to get you to this point.

Handwritten HUGS. What are they?

I often say I pen “Handwritten HUGS”, intuitive letters of comfort to people. I offer them here and have offered them several places over the years. What exactly are they?

Well, they’re messages of comfort for each individual receiving theirs. I love writing snail mail letters and have been doing that since I was in grade school. I was one of those girls who passed notes with my friend often in school.

Fast forward to many years later and I’m writing to a friend several states away. She mentioned she had a friend in need of some extra prayers. I said I’d be happy to write to that friend personally and she can give her the letter. It turns out the friend found comfort in the words I wrote on paper for her.

I may have written something about my own life that helped her along her way. I may have written a thought that came to mind for a perspective shift she needed. I may have written words that felt comforting, encouraging, and like she’d gotten “hugged”. Each letter I write has one or more of these various messages.

After the lady found comfort in the letter I wrote, I began to write other letters to other people. At first I tested it with people I didn’t know to see how things would go. Some would write back to me and say, “Thank you.” Others would write back and say, “Your letter touched me at just the right time I needed it. I cried.” Every now and then God would send me a mental list of people I needed to write to. I’d then get to writing those people as I was going to be spiritually nudged until I finished.

These days, I write based on the spiritual nudge, when someone orders a letter, or just to check on a friend. Each letter is written from a spiritually intuitive place. I don’t even know the circumstances behind the need most of the time, only that a letter must be penned. I’ve had people tell me they have kept their letter and reread it as often as needed.

I must say, with every letter I’ve written, I’ve been amazed at the response and warmed in my heart that I’ve warmed another’s heart. I think it’s extraordinary, every single time. Little me, being gifted with writing messages of comfort to others and them actually feeling comforted by the magic of words written on paper. It is one of my favorite things to do.

Feel free to order your own personal comforting message. Order one for someone you care about and think could use some words. Make someone’s day brighter in a small way. 😀

God and I are Good

How should one define a path with God? It occurred to me just this morning, while pondering this post to write, of just how vast and yet simple each chosen path of faith can be. Some of these paths are creations of religions all over the world. Other people search and search for the right path because they feel God with them, but they feel their relationship with God isn’t mainstream and therefore, hard to define. Some people would even say it can’t be valid if it isn’t understood by mainstream thinking.

I remember some Jehovah’s Witnesses come to my door. I explained to the one gentleman that God and I are good. I tell just about anyone this answer because it’s how I see my path to be so.

This particular man looked at me and said, “What does that mean?” I repeated my phrase. He was rather speechless and also a little shaken because he didn’t have a ready answer to my statement.

He then pondered more and questioned my religious beliefs. I said I wasn’t with any religion any longer, but that I was raised Catholic. His face lit up at that news because he was already versed in how to “shed light” on a perspective from that view towards his own religion. He then tried to go on and on in his religious ways about the virtues of his own perspective of God.

I listened for a minute and said, “No thank you.” They left.

I sit here and see now how the man was flustered when given an answer he wasn’t expecting or didn’t know how to “shift the view of”. Within religion, there are many guidelines that are taught and for those that purposefully seek out new members, they are also taught how to speak towards other religions and shed light upon their own good beliefs. In my situation, having nothing to attack left him startled. I, on the other hand, was confident in what I believed and how God was working in my life.

This is what I want to encourage you to be. To stand in your own faith and relationship with God in such a way that you trust as you know and feel, despite how others try to sway you. Also, to be comfortable in the knowledge that each person must seek their own way and what is working for you may or may not work for someone else.

If you feel the need to share, share. If you feel the need to draw a line, draw that line. Every single one of us must figure it out for ourselves. I don’t think it’s an “us” against “them” kind of thing.

Talking Kindly to Yourself

This past year has been a lot of self-reflection and self-growth for me. One of the biggest changes I’ve done is mostly to stop talking to myself in horrible ways. I do my best in every day. Some days that best looks fabulous, other days my best doesn’t look so fabulous. I needed to be honest with myself in this and be okay with it too.

I am not a refined or charismatic person. If you were to meet me on the street, I would be polite and kind. I may even make a joke that isn’t really funny to anyone but me. I tend to do that.

Before this year I’d say, “I am not good enough. I’ve tried all sorts of business avenues and seem like a flake. At 48, there isn’t much I’ve accomplished. I look like a gypsy and the poor relative.” On and on and on like that.

Then, I realized earlier in the year that I wouldn’t talk to my friend like this and in some way, I am my friend. This was a huge shift to forward for me and I want to give you this perspective so that you too can go forth with a lighter heart and less self-made bruises.

My best feature could be that I’m a quirky person. People talk to me easily because of my core vibe. I’m able to have an intuitive conversation whereby lots of people feel cared for after they’ve talked to me. I am living life in the way that I think best suits me.

While there are things about me that aren’t the best polish of shine, I’m still rather fabulous. So are you.

Talking down about yourself doesn’t help you as a person. Being conscious of your actions, doing your best, making changes where needed is the best you can do for yourself. Work on treating yourself like a fabulous friend. 😀

The things that make you unique and different are the things that bring out your shine. The more you do these things, no matter if it’s intuitive messages of comfort like me or baking the best apple pie, the more you SHINE.

I hope you’ve enjoyed today’s message. If you feel led, please feel free to donate: http://paypal.me/aprildaisy Your donation allows me to write messages full-time. You’re also welcome to order a Handwritten Hug. It’s a spiritual, intuitive comfort message just for you.

Having Faith, part 2

I am feeling the zone, so here’s more of the thinking thoughts.

I may loose one or two of you right here with this paragraph. I am okay with that. I believe Jesus, according to the bible, came to teach us how to live that one-on-one with God. I don’t believe it’s about Jesus being a Savior as in he lost his life for our sake. I think, if you were to look at the Jesus passages and do your best to live in the way Jesus lived, your life would take a dramatic turn for the better and more peace will come to you.

Jesus trusted God completely…with every aspect of his life. If he needed clarity, he found a quiet spot and prayed. If he needed help with a situation, he prayed. If he felt led by God to do something, he did it.

This is how I live with God. A direct communication of love, faith, and understanding.

In the bible there is a statement saying: Jesus answered, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” Many, many people believe that means through believing in Jesus as their Savior by dying on the Cross for them.

What if, just…for thought, what if it means to live a life like Jesus did? I believe it was about trusting God as one LIVES, not as thinking you’re saved because he died for you. He died because the mortal powers that be wanted to silence his message. He died because no one in power wanted anyone to think for themselves.

To me, faith is trusting God for my own path. Don’t get me wrong, there are some fine preachers and some beautiful churches. If you feel comfortable with the messages you get by attending there, by all means, please do continue to follow that guidance.

However, if you’re still searching, consider looking this way and see what you come up with.

There is a preacher I know that I’d listen to every week if I wanted to convert to being a Pentecostal. He is a fine, fine man. I like my jeans and shorts. There is another preacher I used to tend to as a customer in a Waffle. Talking to him on any given day leads me to not think he’s got anything to teach me on Sunday morning. Maybe he does and I just don’t know it, but I just haven’t felt led to be there. Other people have, obviously. I am okay with that too.

I think it’s okay to be led by those speaking to your soul and bringing light into your life. I also think it’s okay to check in with your own self, your own prayers, and your own guidance. No one knows you and your needs better than God.

No matter who you are or what kind of path you walk, may you find peace and understanding along the way. No matter what your path is, if you need more light, I would be happy to write one of my “handwritten hugs” snail mail letters to you. Yes, I feel they are God led, but not all of them are religious. Some of the letters are simply, “Life’s hard sometimes. It’s okay to cry. Try again tomorrow.”

Holiday Sale ~

On my personal page I’ve discounted my Handwritten Hugs from $15 to $10 for the holiday weekend. I felt I could do it here also. So, here in this post is a discount offer for the weekend. The Hugs are handwritten intuitive letters of comfort. Sometimes they’re on a specific topic and that’s completely okay if that’s the situation. Most of the time, they’re writings of what I intuitively feel led to write for the recipient. In just about every letter I write, the words are like magic…touching the soul of the person and filling them with comfort. Some of these letters are treasured for years. I’ve had people contact me to say how their letter came to them at a moment of really feeling chaos and lack. I consider that letter a ray of light that arrives right when it should. This is the gift I am always amazed by. I write, people feel healed or relief for a moment. It’s beyond words.

I’d also like to give a discount for my email correspondence conversations. They are normally $60 for 7 emails. For this weekend, I’ll discount them to $45 for 7 emails. The conversations can be anything from building personal faith stronger, to helping shift your perspective in life from stuck to forward, to helping you understand your psychic gifts. They can even be simple friendship conversations about great dessert recipes or something else about life that’s been unsettling you.

This discount, from 5/24 to 5/26 in 2019.

In all ways, in all days, I hope you find what you’re looking for. Peace and Rainbows.
