Last night I had a visit from a fairly new friend who is going through an extremely stressful time. This has been going on for over a year now. God only knows when he will have some relief. I have not seen him for the better part of a year but know that his problems are ongoing. I pray for him every night.
Yes, we visited in the astral. While I usually talk about visiting with our deceased loved ones, it is worth mentioning that we sometimes have real visits, in the astral, with loved ones who remain here in body & spirit.
In the ‘dream,’ I told him I was going on another cursillo retreat. He asked me what I was offering this retreat for. I realized I had no ‘intention’ yet. But I knew immediately my intention. “For you,” I answered him. He glowed he was so happy.
“I know you have been struggling and you have more trials to face. But face them, you will. You are strong.” I reminded him that he is a soldier of Christ and has all the strength behind him that he will need.
Now I don’t know if he remembers our visit. But I remember, and I know it strengthened him. The visit helped me too, in that I feel that I made a difference. Thank you Lord, for allowing me this.

As a toddler, Sue Baumgardner made up stories for herself looking at books she could not read and later spun tales for her younger sisters. After she had her own children, she told them tales and eventually wove a new pattern into the fabric of their lives. As the three sat together, one would begin with a story idea of her own. She spoke perhaps a paragraph or two or three, then pointed to the next who would take up the thread and continue with her own evolution of the story line passed to her, until she pointed to the next. The third person wove her own ideas into the story progression. After the three each had a turn, anyone could end the story, in their turn, whenever it felt complete to them.
After her children were adults, Sue studied writing, first poetry and then prose. After six semesters in adult education, she was thoroughly hooked on the story art form. Sue continued with dozens of classes, seminars and writing retreats. She studied writing and publishing under the likes of James Patterson, Peter Behrens, and Mark Dawson.
As a contributor to the Discover Maine Magazine, Sue received her first check for her prose.
Her poetry has been published in The Aurorian.
She has six of her paperbacks along with four ebooks published. They include fiction and nonfiction for adults and fiction for Middle Readers.
Her very first publishing though began with Greeting Card Universe, where Sue’s greeting cards with verse are sold across the world.
