I have one word for you  - WOW.

That was the most inspiring, riveting comment I've received in a very long time.  I felt like I was right there when it all happened with your father.

Indeed God and the angels work in very mysterious ways.  I never discount a so-called coincidence (which I know is not - it's part of a larger plan somehow).  Amazing how the paramedics were nearby to use the defibrillator.  They were definitely supposed to be there.  How could we explain it in any other way?

I never cease to be amazed about the power of stories like yours.  I'm thrilled your story had a happy ending.  But I know that if your Dad had passed on that day, that would have meant another lesson in some way, form or shape.  Not to minimize anyone's death, for certainly I don't mean that, but it has more to do with the spiritual meaning behind the timing, place and under what circumstances it happened under.

Fabulous, fabulous!  Thanks for sharing.  You've truly contributed a powerful story and I'm thankful you decided to share it here at Adversity University.  :)</description>

		<description>Hi Stephen,

I've only just found your website by following the link from Alexander Kjerulf's site.

This article really spoke to me.  As a Quaker it's very important to me to regularly sit in silence and talk with what I call the Great Spirit - what many call God.

And as well - five years ago my dad must have had angels looking after him.

He was in Las Vegas with some Californian friends, walking to a restaurant for supper, when he keeled over with a massive heart attack.

The friends he was with were volunteer firefighters - so trained paramedics.

And someone came rushing out of a nearby casino with a defibrillator of exactly the same type that those friends knew how to use.

Dad's life was saved.

Mum and I flew out to Las Vegas to be with him.  That was a really tough time as we weren't sure if he'd live or make a full recovery.  But on the second day after we arrived, I knew - don't ask me how - that Dad was going to live to see me married and he would live to see his grandchildren.  I drew great strength from that and I think it helped me look after my mum.

I wasn't even courting at the time and only two of my siblings had partners, never mind children.

But five years later, I'm happily married and my dad was there to witness my wedding.  And he's the proud grandad of four.

I've never told that story before, so thank you Stephen for giving me the strength and space to do so.

The Great Spirit bless you.

		<description>Jaee:

I am most grateful to know that you found this blog when googling "importance of feeling good"!  Thanks for telling me.  I am so very glad you enjoyed reading this article and how it uplifted you.

I am particularly intrigued by how you went with your gut feeling when you first saw the link to my site and how you had a feeling it would be worth your time.  Wow.  That's amazing.  Our intuition, if we listen to it, usually leads us in the right direction.

Thanks for stopping by and for spending some quality time with me at Adversity University.  It is an exciting time for me as a blogger, writer and speaker.  I'm meeting awesome people like you and others.  In fact, I'm going to my first blogging conference in Chicago next month - it'll be the first time I'll be meeting other bloggers in the flesh after corresponding with many of them via email over the months.

Blessings back to you Jaee!</description>

		<description>Hi Stephen,

WOW!! This article just knocked my socks off! 
I am so getting this one! I think knowing 
all of what you have in this article is so 
important.

Whenever I 'go against my gut feeling', THE 
Higher Power, Angels I always, always end up so 
unhappy with the outcome.  Hmm...so simple to
go with it because the feeling is never wrong
and the result is always great.  

I came across your fab site when I 
surfing under  'importance of feeling good' and 
along with many sites that came up your article 
about 10 things you do to make you 
feel good really popped out to me so I checked 
yours first, had that good feeling :)   
AND it just got me smiling and saying, 
Yep, that makes me feel good too.  
I was smiling AND feeling good! THANK YOU 
SO MUCH.

I have been checking out your site with great 
interest and feeling great as I read it.

Blessings,
Jaee</description>

		<description>Akemi:

You're right - it's sad when people walk around not aware of their inner power but hopefully something will occur in their lives to wake them up to this miraculous inner spirit that they're carrying around.  Sometimes it takes a major incident of sorts to make this happen.</description>

		<description>I know.  It is sad that some people don't realize their own inner power.  
I am learning more and more every day about my spiritual power, and I'd like to think some synchronicities are happening to me as a reward. . .

		<description>Akemi:

The interesting thing about this is that everyone and I mean EVERYONE has psychic abilities in one degree or another but some have learned how to tune into them more than others.

I consider myself very intuitive, like you, but until I take concrete steps to harness it to my advantage, I'm barely accessing its enormous powers.  It's good to hear Andrea tell you what your spirit already knows.  She was reminding you of your mission.

Now all you have to do is fine tune this ability with some help.  It's a skill that takes time to develp but everyone has this capability.</description>

		<description>I like this article. 
I recently had Andrea's reading, and she says I am a channel. She said I'd been getting messages especially when I write, and I was like, "Doesn't every writer get ideas, or even phrases, out of the air?" 
The idea of channeling or the past life influence is new to me.  I consider myself to be spiritual, but I didn't know much about psychic abilities before.  I am more and more interested to develop my spiritual skills for myself and for the people around me.

I'm actually a stealth subscriber of yours (both of your blogs).  Been a reader of yours ever since Patricia Singleton told me about you, I've been reading and yes, even commenting over there.

Thanks for stopping by.  I'm definitely a sucker for spiritually related materials - especially when it involves communicating with your intuition, the angels, God and the universe.  I love that stuff and believe in it very, very strongly.</description>

		<description>Stephen,

I'm a little late in discovering this article, but the subject matter is a major draw for me. I'm glad to hear you're a sucker for a divine experience, but I couldn't possibly share just one in a comment. 

So, I hope you'll visit my blog Shift Your Spirits and pick through my many, on-going personal experiences there.
