Ahhh… That’s so sweet! It’s love.

I was just thinking of your beautiful sink today! I am going to be buying an older home and would love to put that very sink/vanity in the bathroom. I am very taken with your bathroom and I haven’t even seen it. I can’t even imagine living with it. Have you considered camping out on the floor? Just for awhile, nothing long term. No I don’t think you are going overboard at all. You just enjoy.

Have you thought about the idea that when you’ll go to Argentina, you will have to leave your bathroom?

Reply from Gloria on July 9, 2007

Oh, Trish, you have an understanding heart!

And so do Jack and Paula!

Alas, I will leave the perfect bathroom.

But just think what I am leaving for!

Gloria Angel, Jack is perfectly right, as long as you enjoy it and it makes you happy go on with it! I did laugh about the sunglasses! Anyway do you wear them while cleaning for protecting you beautiful eyes??? Would be cool! By the way, do sing some tune or song while your cleaning or chat with God ? We will get a perfect clean Heavenletter within no time with written above: Please put your sunglasses on to read this !
Love and Blessings
Berit

Why, yes, Berit, I am dazzled by your words and have to put on my best sunglasses.

Are you familiar with Winnie the Pooh? He used to make up songs.

I think I will make up a bathroom song that goes something like this:

Berit, Paula, Trish and Jack
have no lack of a knack to make me laugh.

There is something extremely gratifying in cleaning. I’ve got a similar practise when I’m in Argentina. 1nce a week I give the office/apartment a good cleaning; remove the carpets, put all the chairs on the tables, get out the feather duster, broom etc. I use a spray with lavendar and tea tree oil. I put on some music. We have a really cool 5 point surround sound system in the main office area and that produces the most amazing sound which is a great companion during cleaning.

Hand washing clothes has the same effect on me. Cleaning is therapeutic. Maybe its the simplicity of the whole process. Maybe its the part afterwards when you light an incense stick, sit down and enjoy.

In Yoga they have an aspect called Karma yoga, where one performs service or work in devotion.

Once I had to share the top floor of a small house with a guy from California. He had come on a meditation course with the people who owned the house. He didn’t feel it was necessary to clean the bathroom!

I remember cleaning the bathroom. I was scrubbing the floor of the shower. There were stains that just didn’t want to go. So I scrubbed and scrubbed. Somewhere during the scrubbing process I began to experience Karma Yoga. The scrubbing transformed into an enjoyable activity. The stains eventually dissapeared.

The stains and the scrubbing were a metaphor to me.

Seeking self purification for egoistic reasons make the tough stains more resistant. Purification occurs with less effort when one is devoted to God.

The cure for fastidiousness is devotion, and you are a shining devotee Senora. Really, there is nothing to cure.

Hello Gloria, for your invitation has finally arrived to “Godwrinting”… The health and work excess, they had not allowed me to arrive until here.

Beautiful page, is many Blessings of God in your page dear Gloria. I congratulate you; I send you my love, gratitude and friendship, because you already know that in the groups where I work - “HeavenLetters” is always present, in English and Spanish.

As long as can, I read in this beautiful page again; for the time being I say goodbye wanting for you, many blessings;
With love,
MiAng

Dearest MiAng,

How happy I am that you are here! Thank you for posting.

I will certainly look forward to seeing more of you.

With blessings and love,

Gloria

Beloved One,

You certainly make my consciousness leap!

You do make cleaning divine.

I don’t want you to think I am so fastidious in every room. Maybe it will spread. I would like it to. That’s the easy way, isn’t it?

You do raise cleaning to an offering to God. You inspire me. Everything is easier with God. I would love every room in my house to be neat and immaculate.

You mention washing clothes by hand. I haven’t done that in a long long time. I don’t recall finding great joy in it.

However, years ago, when I was teaching school, every Saturday morning, I would make bread. In contrast to teaching (180 kids a day), kneading the dough was so therapeutic. That must have some of the same action as washing clothes by hand. And was that bread ever good!

I’ll go on a little tangent. This was whole grain bread with all kinds of good things in it, hand-cut into big slices. When my daughter was in first grade or so, I sent her to school with a wonderful sandwich made from this bread. Most or all of her friends had sandwiches made from white Wonder bread, and my daughter just wanted to be a regular girl and was ashamed of the homemade bread (even though she loved it.)

I wonder if I can remember how to make bread. Maybe on the trip to Argentina in the motor home. Karma Yoga, here I come.

Hello dear Gloria, thank you for the welcome.
Today greetings to all in the Group, and I send them my affection and blessing.
I will set myself in these days, to participate with you.
I don’t know how to speak English; some day I will make it, for the time being use a translating program, I communicate this way and I can read and to study the messages of HeavenLetters and others.

We see each other in any moment,

MiAng

P.S. - Welcome to South Ameríca dear Gloria, something read in Heaven New of July 2007.

Wow … I almost had the urge to go clean something … ooops, nope, it passed.

Actually, I like folding laundry, especially sheets and towels, still warm from the dryer (or sun, in summer). It just FEELS good and smells good.

Reply from Jacqueline on July 15, 2007

Gloria, This made me laugh so much! You have turned into Martha Stewart in the bathroom. Keep up the good cleaning work.

Yes, cleaning and organizing … there seems to be a rash of that going on. I read somewhere many years ago in a spiritual book that when our lives begin to approach those ascended realms and we have reached our last Earthly incarnation, we will have everthing neatly folded and all dusty corners cleaned. So long as there is a song in your heart, and that song is about Love, then I say clean on.

In Gratitude.
