Liz and I have returned from two weeks down on the Jersey shore on Long Beach Island, where we had a relaxing and wonderful time. Mother Nature laid out the perfect weather for us and we were joined by our families on the second week.

For over 20 years, it's been a summer tradition to start off the summer on Long Beach Island.

As a kid growing up in the 50s and 60s, we spent our summers at Rockaway Beach in Queens NY. It was in Rockaway that I had some of my fondest memories, so as you can imagine, getting back to a beach environment brings about a lot of warm and good feelings.

Above is a picture of Liz and me. At right is a group photo with some of my family at the beach. From right to left: my daughter Elaine Mohini and her partner Danny, Liz and my niece, Peggy, my sisters Marge and Carol, my nephew James and my son Mike.

At the end of summer, Liz and I will be making another trip to Brazil to see John of God. For details on how you can participate, see the article below.

The Ah-Man Blog Posts for July will finish elaborating on each line of The Lord's Prayer. A prayer created, some say, by an Incarnation of God, Son of God, Jewish Rabbi/Teacher/Guru, a Mystic. Whatever your thoughts of Jesus of Nazareth, he achieved the purpose of human life...Oneness with God...and led a life of how to become One with God.

 

Namaste,
Michael

At the end of summer, from August 24 to September 7, Liz and I will be making another trip to Brazil to see John of God.

 

John of God and his healing center are very powerful. For more information, please visit his website at www.johnofgod.com.

 

I am happy to take prayer requests and pictures of those for whom you would like prayers said. All requests need to made the old-fashioned way, by mail to my post office box (see below).

 

On the back of the picture, please put the person's full name and date of birth and send it to me at 1958 Pleasantville Road, Suite 240, Briarcliff Manor, NY 10510. Then please send me an email to michaehoare[at]me[dot]com, letting me know that you have sent the picture, and anything else you might want to add.

 

Between starting the summer and then ending it with my trip to John of God, I will (and I hope you will, as well) try and remember to take each day as a new beginning, see each person you encounter as a child of God, smell the flowers, enjoy the gifts in life, try to see a positive in negative situations, and remember that everything (positive and negative) is not happening to you...but for you, to help you and all you know to achieve and become all you are meant to be on this journey of life.
