Aloha,<\/p>\n

Hope you have been having a wonderful weekend. When I lived in California, I loved going to old missions, lighting a candle, and just sitting in the presence of the energy created by all those centuries of people coming to worship. I loved the act of lighting the candle, saying a prayer, and then watching the flickering light.<\/p>\n

I ran across this site a number of years ago. I occasionally go there to light a candle and read other people’s thoughts and prayers. I thought you might enjoy it as well.<\/p>\n

Light a candle of your own<\/a><\/b>.<\/p>\n

With love and aloha,
Susan<\/p>\n

You really do have angels all around you, allow the love in!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
