Hello StarScopers;

Thanks to all of the listeners across the country who helped launch my new radio network Empower Radio last week. We had an amazing week and had calls from all over the country and Canada. Joe Lawson, my co host and I were thrilled because so many of our listeners on our previous network found us as well as new folks. We actually debuted with more listeners on Empower Radio's first day than we did on our previous network! Thanks to everyone for being there and continue to tune in. My partner Brent Carey and all of the hosts are building a spiritual radio network community and invite everyone to be a part of it. Our show hosts are hand chosen, sincere, caring experts in their field. Empower Radio is like no other network on the air now. Join us at empoweradio.com 231-348-1963 is the call in number.

Now for the Law of Abundance Dates for May 2009

Law of Abundance Checks

You only need write 1 check from the dates. Once a blessing occurs, rip up the check and write a new one on a new date given.

The cosmic energy combined with your own energy helps the law of abundance work. Here's what you do again in more detail:

Take a check from an active checking account

Make it out to you

Do not date the check

Sign it the law of abundance

Do not put in a dollar amount because this limits how much the universe can bring you

Do not void the check in your bank book, just write it is for the law of abundance

Do not destroy the check unless you have closed the account Make out a new check when new dates come up.

Carry the check with you and watch what happens!

Just pick one date from the list. No need to write a check for every day.

In a matter or hours, days and weeks you should see money or blessings come in! Remember prosperity it doesn't always mean cash in hand.

Here are the dates for May to write your checks....May 25-29, 31

Important! If you get extra money, I believe you should give some back to the universe. If you do not, the universe will stop giving to you. I suggest 10% to charity, church, someone in need...pay it forward. It is not enough to give the money to your immediate family members but to someone in need.

Nice Letters We Get

Hi Maria,

I wanted to tell you that three times I have met Esther Hicks who channels Abraham and the night before the seminar in the hotel you can really feel "the essence of it" all happening and all of that higher vibrational energy-- the only other place I felt that same thing the night before was getting ready to work at your events!

I appreciate it! JJ, Kathleen and I will see you on the 8th

Cath

Dear Maria,

I just wanted to share some of the "abundances" that have come into my and my husband's life since we started writing the Law of Abundance checks to ourselves in March and April. So far we have received a $50.00 rebate that I sent in too late but received anyways, my husband got $118.00 for a guitar that he had for sale on consignment, we refinanced our house and saved about $36,000.00 off the total mortgage payment while receiving an equity loan to pay off our IRS debt that we had this year, my attorney contacted me about a lawsuit that's been pending for several years and it will be paying me from a class action suit by July!! Both of us will be getting $250.00 from the Obama stimulus package, a family friend sponsored my husband's trip to be with me at the Mayo Clinic last month ($500.00!!) which was an emotional lifesaver for me. There have been a few other smaller gifts that have come our way, but the main message is that it does indeed work! We have received many blessings despite having numerous monetary and health challenges in our life, and I will continue to write the checks. Oh, I forgot one that shows how what goes around comes around.....there was a local food drive that we donated 2 boxes of food to and my husband won a gift certificate to a local business from a drawing they had! Things just keep happening and I have become a true believer. My husband came across a last minute auction on E-Bay and got a real violin for a penny! We are going to see if the local high school can use it for their band as a way of paying it forward.

Thank you for keeping us informed of the dates and for you constant compassion and drive to always be helping others. I admire your dedication to your calling. Take care of yourself and your family and I will see you at the Lansing Cosmic Convention. Blessings, Ronny

Maria and Joe

Thanks so much for your help and support, not only last night for my radio debut but in pouring so much energy and love into the station. I really appreciate you allowing me to pursue my vision for what Transformational Journeys can grow into and being there to jump in and assist as needed.

Many blessings to you both!

Real or Imaginary? Psychic Children and Their "Imaginary" Friends
By Samantha Vandefeller

This article is written as an opinion piece. I am not a child expert, but I am very familiar with psychic children -- I was an Indigo Child and am an Indigo Adult and I have worked with psychic children, which includes my own two nieces.

This is a conflicting issue for most parents of psychic children. But there is no need to be afraid! An imaginary friend can sometimes be just that; imaginary! But some children choose to befriend spirits that are still on the Earth plane. Now every child, is naturally psychic, however it all depends on their upbringing. If you believe imaginary friends are a silly thing to have or constantly worry about them not having "real friends", more than likely they will not open up to you about what they "see". But if you look at it as a way to develop their creativity skills and have an open mind and actually sit with them and not belittle what they have to say, they will open up to you and tell you that they just are making up stories or are a friend of the other side.

When I was a child, I didn't have imaginary friends. I had an imaginary family! However, it was just that; imaginary. They were air, and I made up stories about their day to day life and acted out each character (or what you could call channeled each character). I wasn't able to write yet, so I used my imagination to tell myself stories and developed my little imaginary family. In one past life I had before my current incarnation, I believe that I was a writer who associated with Mark Twain and is apart of his actual soul family; considering we share the same beliefs and philosophies. In another lifetime, I believe that I was an actor. I went unnoticed in both of those lifetimes, which I brought these talents with me into this lifetime. That is one example of "imaginary friends".

Another example of imaginary friends is those who befriend earthbound spirits. Yes, it is real and can happen. Because children are naturally psychic and are able to see and sense spirits, especially earthbound (those who are afraid to crossover), they can easily make friends and attract such entities. But it is important that you be open minded with your child if they say the person used to be alive etc. You will want to call Archangel Michael (he works with all faiths, he is a non-denominational angel) for your child or teach your child how to call upon Archangel Michael if they feel frightened or do not want to be friends with a spirit. He will be the bouncer, per say, of who can come into contact with your child, and who cannot. Another great archangel to work with is Archangel Gabriel. She works closely with the psychic children and will help your child develop and appreciate his/her natural God-given gift as well Al as help the psychic children increase their creativity. Archangel Metatron (who was the prophet and scribe Enoch) is another archangel that works closely with psychic children and newly crossed-over children. Metatron helps the psychic children stand up for themselves, answer problems they have, and help understand the way the Universe works.

The important thing with your psychic child (or children for those of you who have more), is that you take the time out to play and listen. Get lost in their fantasy world with them. I did this with my oldest niece who said the Jonas Brothers were her brothers. I asked her if she remembers if they were her brothers in a past life (as I had thought maybe she was having past life memories of having a prior life with the Jonas Brothers), but she says to me "no Aunt Sam, I'm just pretending". And she is normally the one to tell me things out of the blue, like "Aunt Sam, you miss your cat Friske, don't you? " or "Tiger Lily and Trixe are at the doctors in Heaven and are okay and they come and play with me". Or we will be sitting there thinking the same exact thing and one of us will say what we are thinking and laugh.

And if you become fearful about who they are playing with or would like to safe guard your psychic child/ren, always invoke Archangel Michael and the White Light of Christ. That is just common sense when you are involved with spirits and ghosts. And it is most important that you remember it is okay for children to have imaginary friends as well (or as I like to call it, talking to air). It is how they develop their creativity. Any good child psychology book will tell you that imaginary friends enhances a child's creativity and social skills. And you may find out things about your children which you can later discuss with them.
