Ask Avalonne

Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, the winter solstice, the end of the tax season — or none of the above — there’s no denying that things are different this time of year. Somehow it seems that we should be more happy and well-off — and if you’re struggling in any way, the discomfort can seem much worse during the holiday season.

The holidays often evoke a mixture of hope and fear, joy and pain. For every person who’s caught up in a merry round of parties, presents and fun, there are probably at least a dozen who are too burdened with worry or difficulties to enjoy this season.

If you need help, advice or support — or just a friendly and understanding listener — I’m here for you. I plan to be available as much as possible, starting today and right on through the weekend.

And yes, I’m still keeping my fees ridiculously low — lower than the rates that most advisors offer as their “special” or “sale” prices. Why? Because I believe that anyone who sincerely wants help should be able to get it. I don’t discriminate in favor of “high end” clients. I try to help everyone who sincerely wants to change their lives for the better.

Important note: Have you had any difficulties finding me on Keen, or contacting me when I was showing as “available”?

Keen has had some programming issues that affected mail (and probably other functions) over the past couple of weeks. If you’ve been unable to find or contact me for any reason, please send me a Keen Mail describing the problem so that I can work with Keen to get it solved.

Here’s wishing you all the very best, this season and always.

Blessings and peace,

Avalonne

Whether you celebrate a traditional Easter, the vernal equinox, springtime or just the fact that the weather is improving, most of us recognize this as a season of renewal. That can mean a fresh start, renewed hope, and a new outlook that includes a better approach to old challenges.

Let’s make the most of this positive energy!

Blessings and best wishes,

Avalonne

Here’s some good news, especially for those who joined in the past few days or who thought it might be too late to participate:

The Week of Healing has been extended through Easter. This is a particularly powerful time, since this is a season of renewal and hope in many cultures and spiritual traditions.

If you have a need for healing in any area of your life (relationships, finances, health, lifestyle, etc.) I encourage you to call or send me a Keen mail about your concerns so that I can add you to the Healing List.

If you’re already on the Healing List, please keep up your positive prayers for yourself and others on the list. If you haven’t joined yet, you now have another chance!

All are invited to join us in sending Light, healing energy and prayers to the participants on the Healing List, and all will benefit by participating. Remember, the positive energy and good intentions you send to others can open the way for you to experience your own personal healings.

I hope you’ll give yourself the gift of participating in both the sending and receiving aspects of this work. Thanks for joining us, and special thanks to all who are making an extra effort to contribute your good energy and positive intentions to the group!

How’s 2009 shaping up for you?

If you are like most of us, your New Year’s resolutions fell by the wayside within a few weeks, and by February you were bogged down in the same old problems again. Here’s a chance to get yourself and your life back on track, and use the beneficial change of season as a springboard to new and better conditions.

Do you have chronic and/or severe problems or needs in one or more areas of your life? Then you want more than just improvements and fresh starts, you want miracles. Let’s make some!
