Read past Monthly Messages ------------------------------------ Here is Heaven Newsletter July 2010 Vol. 29 Timely message from Spirit: Go with the flow There is much on your mind from personal finances to the gulf-stream waters. On this day when you mark the anniversary of the birth of your nation, realize dear ones you are in a new birth. There is a change within you and that causes a change with-out-side you. All things happen on the inside. Best to go with the flow from within it is heaven sent and heaven-scent. Heaven is coming through you, go with the flow of you and don’t necessarily be concerned about what others are flowing with. I am not saying to not be compassionate, for compassion is key to ascending the lower dimensions and entering heaven. I am saying don’t get mired in the muck. Lift yourself out of the problems you are drawn to, take yourself up a notch. Live in a higher place. Make changes where you can, dear ones. Speak your mind on those things that upset you. Recycle more if you think that would help you. Then, move on. Don’t dwell in the negativity others create with your participation. Participate not in that and go with your flow. Live in joy where you are able. ------------------------------------ Here is Heaven Newsletter June 2010 Vol. 28 Timely message from Spirit: Complete the task June is a time of getting it done. What are you working on that needs a tune-up? The garage door? The lawn? The negative thoughts? The fear? This month, if you ask me, I will work with you and we will find the time or receive the inspiration to do it. Together we can beat the heat or clear a path to accomplish something this month. I am the first to tell you that it’s not always the pinnacle, to have an accomplishment. But this month I tell you, it is the time to tie the bow on that project. Ask me for help and we will complete it with joy. ------------------------------------ Here is Heaven Newsletter May 2010 Vol. 27 Timely message from Spirit: The month of Joy Loved one, May is the month of joy. What brings you joy? Celebrate that in May. We celebrate motherhood in May. Mother is a symbol for creation. Celebrate creation. Create something this month in honor of the Lord of All Creation. There you will find joy. ------------------------------------------ Here is Heaven Newsletter April 2010 Vol. 26 Timely message from Spirit: Trust In Me and You Will Find Joy I am All That Is. You ask who I am, don't you? Do not doubt. Today, do not doubt, my friend, that there is One God and that you are part of Me. I don’t abandon you. I send prophet after prophet. Jesus was not the only one; many are known and unknown. There are two worlds you exist in, my child and all who read this. One world is what those who have gone against love want you to see and the other world of which we, even they, are a part of. We speak only of love for that is what we want to grow. Yes, the other exists, but it is of no concern to us. Eventually even they are reunited with Me. Pay them no mind. Adhere to the message of love. That is, loving yourself and love others as you have learned to love yourself. Do what feels right in the core of your being. That which you know is right feels good and reverberates within you as a real knowing. In those instances, there is no need to question. Although you may question, there is no law against it; but then you find yourself going round in circles. Today and this month of April, my message is one of Trust. Trust that I have your back. Feel good so you can rise above the dire prophecies and join me in Joy. It is that simple. Clear the decks of negativity and unite with your purpose. Many ask, well, what is my purpose? You tell me, dear one. It is up to you. But I will tell you this: Your purpose is to enjoy life. Following my guidance ensures that enjoyment because I know what your heart desires even though at times you cannot see nor feel it. That is why it is advised to clear the decks of negativity and you will see more clearly. And, in turn, the feeling of joy brings more joy. So, trust in Me and your happiness will be delivered. ------------------------------------------ Here is Heaven Newsletter March 2010 Vol. 25 Timely message from Spirit: Be Like the Lamb March is the month of the lamb. What is the lamb, but an animal? What type of animal is the Lamb? It is a follower. I don’t call the Lamb a blind follower. No, I call the Lamb a follower of Spirit. The Lamb so enjoys its life. It is led by the Shepherd. The Shepherd doesn’t corral and choke the lamb with a collar. The Shepherd says hello lamb, and raises his stick and says you belong over here. You will like this green grass. It is good for you and will satisfy you. You, dear one, are my lamb. Oh, you worry about the sacrifice and how the lamb will get slaughtered and eaten. Oh, young one, you, will one day die. You will be consumed again by me. But you are here to be a lamb to enjoy the time you have here in this green pasture. That is what you are here for. And I call you my lamb because I guide you. Don’t focus on the dying; focus on the living in the green pasture. That is what you came to experience. Not the agony of the death process. We will leave that story for next month. But truly, focus on the lamb in the pasture being guided by the shepherd and totally loving his life in the physical and with Spirit. It is a metaphor for my relationship with you. I think it a good one. It is used often. The symbolism is a good one. I love my lamb and sheep and I love you my human beings. Try not to get too focused on the part that your ancient ones felt compelled to offer to me. At that time, truthfully, they did it with such love that it was appreciated by them and their families, certainly by me because every thing, every little thing that is offered to me is appreciated and loved. And the lamb could not be more blissful when welcomed into my arms. Yes, it is another time. No more sacrifices please. But you are judging an older standard by the one you hold today. And truly that is not fair to you or your ancestors. And it certainly is not fair to my beloved lamb. Be my lamb. Let me guide you. Fear not. I know where the greener pastures lie. ------------------------------------------ Here is Heaven Newsletter February 2010 Vol. 24 Timely message from Spirit: In your Listening you will find Love The word this month beloveds is listen. Listen to your heart and it will sing you a song. You want to feel love this month. It is available now as it was always. This month you will feel love if you listen for it. Remember as a child you were taught to stop, look and listen. Practice that now, beloveds. Stop running around to please the one you love. Look at the one you love and listen to him or her. Also, beloveds, listen to yourself, because you are love. You were made from love and can’t be anything else but love. Contemplate the word. Meditate on it. You will find who you are and it is joyous. ------------------------------------------ Here is Heaven Newsletter January 2010 Vol. 23 Timely message from Spirit: Joy in Celebration The first month of the new decade. Does that not tell you something beloveds? It’s a new year and a new time. And yes, it signals in a new you, too! A time to party, yes! Of course, it is always time to party in heaven. It is a moment by moment party. Each moment bringing in its own glory and joy. Sound the horns, dance a jig, welcome this new year into your heart. Visit Me in heaven once in a while, beloveds. I visit you constantly on earth. Come within your heart and see Me there this year. Because in your heart is where heaven lies. The joy is similar to a new year celebration. But this joy, beloveds is year-round. Much love is here for you. ------------------------------------------ Here is Heaven Newsletter December 2009 Vol. 22 Timely message from Spirit: The Promised Land December is the month of promise loved ones. So much promise in this month. We celebrate Christ’s birthday. Do you not think we honor The Son here in Heaven the way you honor him here on Earth? You on earth are an extension of us in nonphysical. I delight in your honoring Jesus Christ, as I delight in you honoring any human being. Especially honoring yourself. Because I am within you as I was/is within Jesus. That is His message to you. And if you find Jesus, he will assuredly lead you to Me. But know this, you can also find me through a devoted Grandmother, a loving Father. I am expressed in all love. Jesus tapped into my love and brought much of it toward Earth. It was truly just the beginning. Because right now the Christ consciousness is surrounding Mother Earth and infusing all of you/us with My Love. Directly. You are now able to experience my Love directly. And that is the purpose of Jesus: to introduce you to my love and to show you how to access me directly. Praying to Jesus is beautiful. Joining with me is magnificent! You and I coexist. You, believe it or not beloveds, grow me. And that expression comes back to you in your lifetime. Grow, loved ones. The promise is one of growth. This is the Promised Land. It’s a place where we grow together. Milk and honey are but symbols for the nurturing of our love and growth. Take me to the Promised Land, you ask. We are here. Here is the Promised Land. Here is Heaven. ------------------------------------------ Here is Heaven Newsletter November 2009 Vol. 21 A timely message from Spirit: Love creates November’s message is one of love. How can I not speak of love when that is what I am. Newsflash all: that IS what you are, too. That is the basis, the essence of who you really are. You think you are the job that you hold, the friends that you have, the person you married, the children you bore. No. These are but instruments for you to use to express who you really are. You are love, beloveds. Pure incandescent light that shines and lights up the universe. And when you love, You think you are loving your partner, your child, even some of you, your work. Beloveds, these are but instruments to express your love; to express YOURself. Express Me this month. In all that you love. If you love a lot, know you are with me. That is how you “see” Me. It’s more of a feeling of Me. If you don’t love so much, find something to love and you will find your Creator, loved one. It is truth: Love creates all.

I invite you to turn the page. Partner with Me. There are many changes about your world during this time. You may be confused, you may not know where to turn. Turn to Me, loved ones. Talk to me. To talk to me, turn the page. When you are reading your book, you do not stay on a page forever because you like it, or because you are afraid of what the next page will show you. Maybe you will linger for a moment, maybe even more; but you don’t dwell there forever. You turn it. You eventually turn the page. Beloveds, the full story is not yet written; you fill up the pages. Meet me there on the next page. Together we will fill up the pages of your book. Turn it, dear ones. Don’t stay on the same page. Life is change. And change is Good/God. Yes, God is life. Dear ones, we come full circle you and I. And I would say to you, we are equal partners . Worry not about what others are doing and what others are fearing, for you are with me in Heaven. Here in Heaven, we create your life and your life.. one life at a time. It is up to you and up to Me. We are equal partners. Use me as a partner. Turn the page of your book and include me. You are blessed, ------------------------------------------ Here is Heaven Newsletter September 2009 Vol. 19 A timely message from Spirit: Where is God? If you would see that I Am in All, you would not have to read anything or think anything else about Me. I am in the heavens and the earth. I am in the sky and the stone. I am in all that is. I Am All That Is. This month, read nothing about Me. Find me in your brother, sister and friend. Find me also in your neighbor, co-worker and stranger on the street. I am within all. Look for me. See me there. I will grow if you do that and that is why I implore you to do that. I, too, want to grow and experience new things. In that way, I am like the child eager for first day of school, like the parent expecting the newborn, and like the tree spreading its branches over the next backyard, it is natural for me to grow. I spread my branches, my love, throughout all of creation, my creation. I love it. And I love you. Find the love in others and you will find me. You are blessed Here is Heaven Newsletter August 2009 Vol. 18 A timely message from Spirit Ask and it is given. What is it you want this month? A better house? A better car? A better life? Ask this month and I will give it to you. The question, of course, becomes: will you accept my gift? Do you really want to move out of the comfort of the now you are in? What I offer is to take you from your home and deliver you to a place of beauty, love and knowledge. I am Here. And Here is Heaven. Do I mean take you to a brand new home on Westeria Lane? No, I mean I will take you to a brand new home where you live right now. I mean I will take you for a ride in a car that runs better because you appreciate it. I mean take a look at your life. Look at all the glorious things that are working. Gloriously. Do I mean no, you won’t get a new home. No, if that is what you truly want, believe me when I tell you that, too, is on its way. The new car is just outside your door. Trust. Believe it will happen and it will come. It is how I designed this universe you reside in. Whatever you want you can have, just get out of the way and let me bring it to you. The joy for you is in the asking. The joy for me is in the giving. Let us be. Let us live on heaven and earth in the way we intended when we separated so long ago. I said so long ago, but you know there is no time here. I say so long ago to mean: So long! Goodbye that ago time when we did not communicate. Now that we are communicating: Hear me. I grant all desires if you allow me. Here is Heaven Newsletter July 2009 Vol. 17 A timely message from Spirit July’s message is one of hope. Hope truly does spring eternal. Because it is with hope that you imagine. Imagine only good things and that is what comes to you. Like the GE commercial, we bring good things to light. We, the God Energy, our GE, brings good/god things to LIFE. Hope for the best in July and you will find it in no time. Yes, I say no time because there is no time where we hope and imagine. You could say time stands still. But really, there is nothing to stand still. It does not exist. Time does not exist in Heaven where we reside. You and Me. We bring good things to life when you, you, you think them first. So, think good thoughts and we will romp in our creations. Hop-y, rather than happy, July. Here is Heaven June 2009 Vol. 16 Here is Heaven Cold and warm. The weather changes by day. All is well. Do not concern yourself with the weather. Concern yourself with heaven. We are about finding heaven. You are ever so close. You are with me now. Then, I will just sit with you. This is fine. Share your story of how you found me. Ask others to share their story, too. Here is Heaven May 2009 Vol. 15 Here is Heaven The message is one of hate. There is much to hate around the world today. It’s o.k. but don’t dwell on the word and don’t stay in that vibration. Pick yourself up out of the lower vibration of hate. Yes it exists. And banks are given money to lend and they hoard. That is of no concern to you, really. Think in terms of a new paradigm if you desire something. There is barter, there is used, there is change. Change your home, change yourself. Here is Heaven April 2009 Vol. 14 Here is Heaven April Message from Spirit: Life eternal. Do you not know beloveds you are life. And life is eternal. Your experience today is but a drop in the bucket of water, yet it is here in this moment that you experience that life and that eternality. What gives you life forevermore? It is how you love, beloveds. Love is the essence of life. It is not who has the best lawn or lawn mower, or snow blower. It is not who has the grandest home, boat or car. You are measured by the love you give in this moment. Not the love you plan to give later to your grandchildren. Not the love you gave to your sister growing up. It is the love you offer now in this moment in time. Experience love now and you experience eternity. Love in the now moment is what bridges this world to my Heaven. Eternal life is here, right before you. It sits in your heart in this very moment. Release it, loved ones and you will live here in Heaven with me. Here is Heaven March 2009 Vol. 13 March Message from Spirit: Growth Spring is coming where I write this in Chicago. It’s a time of growth. God says: Live with the cycle of the earth. You are growing too. Yes, your economy is falling, but it is you who is growing; see the bud and know that you, too, are more than what you see. Know that what makes the bud grow to bloom is the same source that makes you grow in Sprit. Your future promises so much more than what you are now. You are the bud of the flower, just opening up to possibilities of the future. What will you grow to be? Will you be a neighbor who shares your lawn mower? Will you be the friend who offers an ear to listen and perhaps a warm meal to share? Will you be the grandfather who teaches the children? Will you be the mother who shares your love without judgment? The flowering of the human is initiated by and touches the Divine. It’s a call from Source to be more than a bud, it’s a call to bloom and be more fully alive. And in so doing, you become one with Me. Here, my children, is Heaven. Lovingly yours forever, God Here is Heaven Newsletter, February 2009 Vol. 12 February’s message is one of goals. Goals are being redefined in our lifetime. When we were young, our parents and/or our society encouraged us to branch out; leave the house, learn something new, be a part of the outside world. This was a wonderful push for many because it taught many of us skills that will help us in the years to come. Our new goals are to go within. Find who you really are. Use your talents to help yourself, your family, friends, neighbors and those who don’t have as much as you have. In this era of loss of economy, you will find you are gaining so much more. You are gaining life. The life I gave you at the beginning is returning to you now. Life for life’s sake. Learn not to live a life to garnish yourself with goods that can be crushed and even taken away. Garner yourself with who you are and share that with the world. That is your only goal. Learn to first be yourself and then second share yourself with all of those around you. We are all one. Give to others your true self and you will learn who you truly are. In God We Trust, Geri Here is Heaven January 2009 Vol. 11 Enjoy the Gift. What would God say as we approach the beginning of the year? Relax loved ones. All is here for your need to be happy. As the stores close, do you not have more opportunities on line? As the stores close, do you not have more opportunity in your basements and in your closets and in your attics? There are many ways to find new things that you desire. Many are brand new and will be found in brand new places. Stretch your imagination and find your desires in places other than the downtown marketplace if it is not available to you. There will still be plenty of stores for you to shop, if you desire that. But it would be much fun for you to find a new way to find your goods. In January, I ask you to think outside the box – outside the big box of that big warehouse store. Find something inside your own box/home and alter it, creating a new thing for your use. Bake your own bread, make your own clothes, develop a new yoga. Share your creation with the world. There you will find joy. Blissfully Yours, Geri Here is Heaven December 2008 Vol. 10 What would God say as we approach the end of the year? In December, I speak of something I often speak of ..Love. Love your condition in life whatever it might be today. All things change. Your economy is not going to be ruling you forever. Make peace with that. Find the love without the economic problems you face. What can you appreciate that is born from you and not from your economy? Is it a relationship that you appreciate? Is it a talent you want to thank God for enjoying? Is it a fresh food you ate today? There is much to be thankful for. Please make that your focus today and all year. There is much love for you here and everywhere. Find the love and remember it bounces around. Take hold of it and toss it to a friend. It will come around again in no time. Enjoy this gift I give you. Enjoy every moment. Enjoy sickness, enjoy wealth. Amen I say to you, truly you have this gift of life. Live it awake and enjoy all experiences. Live to love it all. It is my gift to you. All aspects of life are joyful. Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, Kwanzaa whatever you celebrate, enjoy it all! Love, Geri Here is Heaven October - November 2008 Vol. 9 God's Plan: An inspiration from Spirit on the Stock Market. Much has been written about the volatility of the stock market. The lucky ones are the ones with the Golden Parachutes. The unlucky ones left holding the bag of devalued stock. I say take stock in Me and you will never be devalued. I say join your faith in Me - hitch your star onto my Glory and I will show you success like none you've seen before. Invest in Me - in My trees, in My water, in My Love. You will see it grow as none before - 5% phew - 10% puny - try one million percent. That's what I offer you. You say the ones with the G.P.'s (Golden Parachutes) are the lucky ones. I say unto you the only lucky ones are the ones with my G.P. God's Plan. Accept your part in God's Plan and you truly will be successful and loved beyond measure. Accept the Light of God not the darkness of your own making. For those that must know - understand that gold and silver are my purest elements. Take stock in them if you are fearful. But know this: There is no fear in God's Plan. The Word as communicated through Geri Here is Heaven September 2008 Vol. 8 Sinner or Saint? Are you sinner or saint? Some say I think I am a saint because of the title of my newsletter. But I know I am a sinner. Sometimes I realize I sin maybe twice a day. I assume I sin more. What is a sinner? Someone who falls when faced with the option of doing the right thing. I fall all the time. Like when I sleep in when I should get up to exercise, like when I yell at my kids for not using their time productively. Do I always use my time productively? I yell when they watch too much TV and play videogames. Do I spend enough time nurturing them? Do I plan enough activities that will stimulate them? Maybe not so much. Am I a sinner or a saint? I am a sinner. So how can I expect to raise saints? Most of us are sinners. But all sinners are future saints. Remember, all the saints are former sinners. Yours in Christ, Geri Here is Heaven August 2008 Vol. 7 Bloom Where You’re Planted. Seaweed, Tumbleweed, and the like never grow into much, because they are always on the run. Stop for a minute this month. Nurture yourself. Feed your soul and watch your success grow. Think if you will, for a minute about what that means. It means growing new flowers, pruning old ones not working. It means mulching, fertilizing, feeding and watering to help the growth. It means all of that. During this past year, I had a vision in my mind’s eye. I was with a teacher and we were planting a seed. We were in my child’s school yard. Not everyone was interested in what we were doing. In fact, nobody was. All the children were playing quite a distance from us. Then, one young boy came running up to us and his excitement was evident. He was curious and enthused about the possibilities for the plant. I am being told that is the point; one person, not the world. All the people will go on their way. But reach one person . Enthuse one person with your creations. And many times that one person will be none other than yourself. Namaste, Geri Here is Heaven July 2008 Vol. 6 It’s summer. We’re in the throes of it. The back door is open with the screen door in. The air feels great on my skin. The quiet of a warm afternoon is rejuvenating. The wind rustles through the tops of the trees. I can hear a bird chirping. I see big puffy clouds painted on a gray blue sky. There’s nothing to do today. I hope you have one of those days. I didn’t mean to do it. I kept starting or trying to finish a project ranging from writing a new story to cleaning the kitchen, whatever the project, my body said no. My mind followed. It feels good to lie on the couch with my feet up reading the paper. I quickly see the paper’s not the best choice, with all the bad news in it; the shootings, the war, the torture, the death, all of it. Today there was no good news in the paper. I had to look for some. Happy Summer time and blessings to all the troops around the world. Happy Birthday America! Geri Here is Heaven June 2008 Vol. 5 The newsletter is growing. Like this time of year. All is growing. It is so exciting to see and smell all the green bursting forth here in Chicago I wonder, on some level does Spirit see the growth we are bringing forth from our hearts. Is our love and the care we bring to our work and families as evident to Spirit as Springtime making way for Summer is so evident to us? In this part of the world, it’s a time of growth and celebration. I write this as we approach Memorial Day weekend. There are barbecues planned and weddings and children’s parties. It’s all a great way to spread love and receive Spirit as well. Happy June! Hugs, Geri Here is Heaven May 2008 Vol. 4 May is a time to breathe. Realize you are here to enjoy life, not to get things done. Of course, you need to accomplish a certain amount for your job, your families, your neighbors. But take a moment to breathe. Just breathe. Just be. Enjoy the smell of spring. Enjoy baseball practice. Get passed the dog’s doo and the traffic. These of course are metaphors for what is going on in your life. Take a moment to TAKE a moment. For yourself. Breathe it in and be. Blessings, Geri Here is Heaven April 2008 Vol. 3 Friendship is the message this month. Dear God, how does friendship fit in with your plan? Friendship is the playground of love. When we have friend to share our lives with, our walks with, our lunch with, our things with, we feel better. If you wake up one day and need a friend, of course, be a friend to someone because the love loves to play. It will bounce back to you in no time. Such is the essence of love and your friends are its play area. Make a new friend this month or call an old one. It will make you feel good. Blessings, Geri Here is Heaven March 2008 Vol. 2 Hel-lloooo, March! Here in Chicago, I feel most cells in my body screaming, "begin the march toward spring!" I think it's similar to the feeling those penguins might have, the ones who trek through treacherous terrain to find their mate. Well, it’s been an interesting winter with temperatures and wind-chill factors below 0 degrees F. And there’s been more snow than I remember even when I look through my rose colored glasses of childhood remembering snowball fights and canceled school. Well, here in Chicago, it's been sometimes most beautiful, other times, a challenge to stay cool under whiteout driving conditions. But here we are; with the worst of winter behind us. Thank you, Lord. Dear God, is there a message for our readers this month? Yes, there is. The message is beauty. In all things you can see the bad and the good. If you strive to find the beauty in your life you will surely come closer to me and closer to heaven. This is where I reside, in the beauty of your world. The snow piled heavy on the evergrreen, the ice crystallized on the sidewalk; the remarkable changing of the landscape while I pounce you with the white stuff; it truly is a joy, if you can look at it that way. Geri: When we look at the beauty, we get closer to you? Yes; because I am in Nature; and is not Nature most beautiful? Geri: Oh, yes, my Lord. Very beautiful. Heaven is beautiful. Your appreciation of my beauty brings you ever so close to heaven. Geri: Thank you my Lord. You are most welcome, Gerardette. There you have it. I feel like this is a short message; but boy is it beautiful. Have a great March; enjoy the weather wherever you are. Blessings, Geri Here is Heaven February 2008 Vol. 1 Hello. Welcome to February, the month of love. Yes, Valentine’s Day is in February. What a great time to kick off the Here is Heaven newsletter. I’m actually writing this still planted, although buried under snow, in January here in Chicago. So, I’m happy to mentally escape from this month and plunge ahead to happier and more loving times. At this time, I will ask God to tell me what words of wisdom we can share with the world. Gerardette and All human beings, Love is found within you not without you. Even though it is a cold and somewhat windy day, you can still find love in your heart to warm you up. Love is not determined by what is outside. Dear Lord, How do we access that love when we are not really “feeling” it if you know what I mean. Of course I know what you mean. I am a part of you as I am a part of all that is. You are a part of all that is; therefore, I know what you mean. When you are not “feeling” love; ask yourself the question: Why? What is keeping me from my natural state of being? Is it the car in the shop? Is it the bills? Is it the food you’ve been eating that hasn’t really agreed with, nor nurtured the best part of you? Have you been arguing with your children? Are you feeling like you are not doing enough for them? Do you appreciate your husband? Have you told him so? Are you open with your communications with your friends? Dear Lord, ouch, that’s a little personal. You asked me if I know you. Dearest Lord, you know me. Are our discussions beneficial to others? Yes, Gerardette. I think the newsletter is a good idea. I know we have many, many communications and I have shown you several parts of heaven. Here in this newsletter, we will learn where to find heaven and how to firmly plant yourself there and not in the outside world you see with your eyes, hear with your ears and touch with your hands. In this world, we will go inside and find happiness there. Thank you, Dearest Lord. Can you tell us how to get from where we are to where we/you want us to be? Yes, Gerardette. Start with attitude. Greet all people with a smile the first time you see them. Think about it: your neighbor, your husband, your coworker are all parts of God the Father. Would you not be happy to see your Father again? Oh, yes Lord, especially after we just marked the anniversary of my own dad’s death. Yes, and your e-mails to and from family members were a wonderful way to appreciate your father, Tom Hearne. He is close to me, and I appreciate what you did for him during those days. Very nice stories were shared Here as well as there. Lord, what do you mean by Here, where is “Here?” Here is Heaven. This is where I want you and all human beings to get. We are all Here. We delight in conversation and we delight in being remembered by you. Yes, you may close this newsletter with the words, Here is Heaven. Thank you for this communication, Lord. Thank you for your time. After closing my communication with Our Lord, I reread the message, and found it very short. I asked God if we needed to say more on this. He alluded to my own patience issue and said my audience would be served by this short message. That night, more words came to me, including treat people with love and respect; and give all the benefit of the doubt; including your children and coworkers. So, this is it, Here is Heaven is launched, with the simple message: Greet all people with a smile. We’ve talked about this in the past, God and me, and in the past he added: the first time you see them. So, if you follow God’s word and greet all people with a smile, don’t do it all day, for goodness sake, we’ll all wind up smiling at each other in the psych ward. God told me to greet people with a smile, the first time I see them that day. I’ve been trying to do that, remembering that it only counts the first time. After that, they’re on their own. And for now, I’m on my own, and so are you (although we are never really on our own). Until next month. It's a new beginning for all of us. Finally, here in Chicago the trees are beginning to bud. I looked yesterday, but couldn’t find a red bud on the front tree ... miraculously, they’re abundant today.
