Classy Godwriterâ„¢

Santhan created a beautiful and businesslike Heavenletter business card for us. Here is what it looks like:

And on the reverse side it says:

“What is giving love
but letting others know
the Truth of their Being,
and therefore your own?�
God in Heavenletters

I am used to business cards that you print out on the computer. I even forgot there were other kinds. Not to knock what I had run out of, but what Santhan designed and sent is of supreme design and quality, truly, the cream of business cards.

The card itself has the composure of a credit card. It won’t get folded by mistake as I play with it in my hand waiting for the right moment to present it, and it won’t get wrinkly and dirty in anyone’s pocket. It is beautiful. It is almost too good to give away! I must stop admiring it and get to work.

But first, I have to tell you more. Not only is the card beautiful, it came with a smooth sleek stainless steel case to keep the cards in. It looks like one of those classy cigarette cases that you see in 1940 movies. It doubles as a mirror.

[Dear friends, the photo shows it bronze, but it is really smooth sleek mirror-finish stainless steel.]

I am really going to have to change my image to match this business card holder. Classy Godwriter™ , I’m not.

Because of the cards and the holder, I won’t be able to wear my hip-hop pants on my book tour in Europe.

My hip hop pants are black cotton, and a photo wouldn’t show the two big pockets on outside of the legs just below the knees nor the tabs at the ankles etc. Believe me, these pants are cool.

I won’t be able to wear my rocker outfit. This photo of the jacket was taken of it lying on my couch. Note that It’s made of glittery fake lizard skin.

I won’t be able to wear my Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, and Pluto sweat shirt either.

All of the above are my favorites.

As it happens, even before the shiny case for the business cards arrived, I was outvoted anyway. My daughter and friends forbade my taking any of these items.

I had asked my daughter, “Can’t I at least take my Mickey Mouse sweatshirt?�

She gave me a withering look.

I asked Jacqueline. She said, “NO.�

I asked Bev. She said, “Certainly, so long as you wear it in your room in the morning and no one sees it.�

It looks like I have to put away my real self in order to match the business card holder. I will have to try to pass myself off as a classy lady.

Hmmm, I wonder how long I can carry it off and if anyone will be fooled.

Dear Gloria,

Why not take all the clothes you love? If you look altogether “classy” might that not suggest to someone that a person has to be “classy” to God-write? On the other hand, by your choosing to ask your daughter and ceertain friends, do you perhaps reveal a part of yourself that does want to leave these particular things at home?

To me, the cards and holder are beautiful, and you are certainly very beautiful no matter what you are wearing. Maybe the pockets in the hiphop pants and the snakeskin jacket are just the perfect size to hold such a card holder. And perhaps the smiling images of Mickey, Minnie, and Pluto would do a world of communicating in a universal language in countries where your spoken words are going to be passing through interpreters. Who knows?

What do you think, dear friend?

By your sharing this with us, I think you were interested in our thoughts, and the questions I ask show you some of my thoughts! One more thought, my deep hope is that everyone you meet on your travels will see clearly WHO you really are and WHO they really are! What do our garments have to do with this vision?

Much love to you–and bon voyage!
Margaret

I’m with you Margaret. Gloria, I believe you must at least take your red faux-lizard jacket and your hip-hop pants to Europe. We’re supposed to be infusing JOY into all that we do. Why not dress joyfully?
Bon voyage and knock’em dead in Europe!
Love,
Jo

Gloria,
Oh no, you cannot put yourself away - you must be your own funny, smartalecky self there. Just don’t wear any of those clothes!

Dear Friends,

This is so much fun. I love every single reply. You are beautiful. And every one of you is absolutely right!

If I were traveling just for myself, I would probably wear whatever I felt like.

However, I am a guest on this trip, and people have gone to great expense and trouble to make this trip happen. It’s not about me! I have to give some semblance of decorum.

I can be myself, and still set aside hip-hop pants (they’re getting too tight anyway), the rocker outfit (it got too stretched out!), though it will be hard to part with the Mickey Mouse sweatshirt (it fits just right) for three whole weeks!

The next blog entry will show you some of what I am taking!

With love and blessings and many thanks,

Gloria

Dear my dear Gloria,

Many greetings to the business card holder!

And never mind, I will go everywhere with you even if you are wearing your Mickey Mouse t-shirt…… :)

And your rocker outfit is welcome as well. Just imagin you wearing that going downtown with a two meter guy wearing his favorit black motorbiker leather jacket. Sounds like fun, hm?

Looking forward to see you!

Much Love and Light

Visiting with you and Veronika in Munich will indeed be fun. Will the two-meter guy wearing his favorite black motorbiker leather jacket mind going downtown with me if I don’t wear the sparkly lizard-skinned rocker jacket and I wear a warm polyester-stuffed black unshiny coat instead?
