Working with Clairolfaction: Smells
Hi, everyone.  This Thursday night, May 26, at 7:30 pm on Zoom, we will be working with smells. Clairolfaction is one of those “clair” senses that are not talked about a lot.  Let us explore the world of smells and how our lingering memory of different smells can enhance our intuitive and mediumistic readings.

• Mediumship Meetup Zoom link: Please email Frank for link.
• A minimum of four students is required for a class.  Please let Frank know by 2 pm Thursday if you plan to come:  Send an email,  text message, or phone call

Memorial Day
"We cherish too, the Poppy red
That grows on fields where valor led,
It seems to signal to the skies
That blood of heroes never dies."
~ Moina Michael, 1915.

This 32-cent stamp was designed by Margaret Bauer and features Georgia O'Keeffe's work, "Red Poppy." The stamp was issued May 23, 1996 in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where O'Keefe died.

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.
