I’m as compulsive as anyone about checking my inbox…. despite the fact that probably 90% of the incoming emails are groups, promotions, activist invitations, etc. Still… there might be that one important or awesome email…can’t miss that one!
Last night I pored over the paintings by Akiane along with her story. By four years old she was drawing images of people and sometimes angels that she said she saw. By 6 and 7 those images had become dynamic, realistic and unbelievable. By age 8, with color paints, she painted Jesus. Her Prince of Peace, 36” x 48”, is stunning, along with the poem that goes with it, and commands thousands of dollars for the original.
Her story, of seeing heaven but living on earth, is sincere, evidenced by the paintings she continues to create, as well as her rich and unusual poetry. She receives visions from heaven and puts them into paintings.
Reading Akiane’s story, I’m (again!) brought to remember. What is real? What matters? What is true?
What am I paying attention to?
I feel so fickle at times… one day I know I can hear guidance from holy sources that is unfailingly wise and loving. Two hours later I’m consulting my to do list and not listening at all. My incoming box has all my attention.
Which Incoming am I tuned in to? Today I’m tuning in to the softer, but wiser Incoming Voice/Guidance. Reversing the focus.
The noisy, visible, demanding world is receding, while I “listen,” and write, and hear.

I first heard about Akiane from the movie Heaven is For Real. I immediately became intrigued and looked her up. It really does bring about the question, what is real? I truly believe we create our own realities, and our existence here, now, is only part of our history/journey. I read a great article recently about what happens when we die. I found it interesting as well! Here is the link: http://www.spiritscienceandmetaphysics.com/7-things-happen-to-you-when-you-die/
