Last Sunday
=================================================
Summerland members visiting the Fox sister's gravesite for the annual Founders' Day & Gratitude Day Celebration at Cypress Hills Cemetery in Brooklyn.
The grave is at the top of a hill and the wind was whipping around us all, but we paid homage to the Fox sisters, made grave rubbings, and left a beautiful flower arrangement.
We were also happy to discover the day we went was Catherine's birthday, March 27, so we also wished her well on the day she entered the Earth plane.
We left very inspired to have touched the sisters in this way.
With blessings from all of us: Terry Kruse, Karen Link, Danielle Mallon, Valerie Miller, Jane Ruggiero, and Frank Kotowski.

==================================================
Spiritual Healing Requests
==================================================
Spirit healings result from law-governed forces being put into operation following the sending forth of a thought directive (prayer). Spirit guides and doctors will diagnose the trouble and its cause, attention being directed to overcoming the cause, and then removing the symptoms.
Please set time aside each day to send healing thoughts for each of those listed below, that they may receive from Spirit that which is for their highest and best needs.
Your healing prayers are needed and benefit others in ways we may never know.

Prayer for Spiritual Healing
I ask the Great Unseen Healing Force
To remove all obstructions 
From my mind and body 
And to restore me to perfect health.
I ask this in all sincerity and honesty
And I will do my part.

I ask this Great Unseen Healing Force
To help both present and absent ones
Who are in need of help
And to restore them to perfect health.
I put my trust and love in the power of God.
