UPDATE 3/23

Dear Friends,
We ask that you take a little time out of your day, connect with Infinite Intelligence,
and send healing thoughts of love and compassion to those in need.

Janet Johnson
Janet was involved in a car accident a few weeks ago. She is recovering and is able to move around, but has received some setbacks that are making it difficult for a full recovery.
Infinite Intelligence, we ask You and the Summerland Healing Angels, Spirit Guides, Doctors, and Healers to
surround Janet and her recovery team in healing light of the highest vibration.
We call in healers from far and side to assist in the process so Janet can get back to daily activities without
pain and without any additional stress.

Donnie List, brother of Rosemary's husband Jim
You may remember praying for healing for Donnie earlier from a previous healing request. Donnie is the brother of Rosemary's husband Jim. Sorry to say, in Rosemary's words, Donnie had unexpected complications from his
illness and transitioned yesterday Prayers would be appreciated for his journey home and for the family, especially his four children, two of whom are young teens.
Infinite Intelligence, we ask You and the Summerland Healing Angels, Spirit Guides, Doctors, and Healers
to support and lovingly guide Donnie List's transition to the Summerland.
In addition, surround his family, especially his children, in compassionate, nurturing and comforting light of the highest vibration. Show them the way to find peace and tranquility under Your guidance.
We ask this in all sincerity and honesty, and we will do our part. Let it be so.

Olivia Carbone
Barbara Newman
M'Lis D'Angelo
Michael Thorn
Jodie and Bob Kiss
Please keep Olivia, Barbara, M'Lis, Michael, and Jodie and Bob in your thoughts and send healing prayers their way. Ask for Divine guidance to help make their path ahead full of joy, fully connected to the All That Is.
Thank you for your time and prayers.
Valerie
