Sandra's Heavenly Corner 

I love angels! I always have. I collect them and surround myself with them. I have angel blankets, pillows, pictures, wall hangings, key chains, frames, jewelry, and knick knacks. I've been collecting them since even before they became so popular. They comfort me. I feel guided and protected by the presence of angels. I have no doubt that they exist. The word angel means "God's Messenger" and I was once given a life saving message by what I know to be my Guardian Angel. I am a believer. I think our society is in need of some faith and hope. We see so much negativity all around us. Angels remind us of love, fun, and protection. They are a positive force in an increasingly negative environment. The T.V. show "Touched by an Angel", one of my favorites, has become a hit due to its positive message and touching storylines. It is a comforting thought to know that I am being watched, loved, and protected from above at all times, especially when I'm feeling down. Angels remind me to have faith, to love, and to laugh. I am so thankful that they are a part of my life. The Internet is full of angel sites. Here are some of my favorites.

Romance 

I consider myself a romantic (maybe even a hopeless one). I think passion and romance are important and I know that they can last. People say passion fades, and I know it can, but like any good fire it just needs stoking and rekindling. I am a very sensual person. I love candles, bubble baths, champagne, firelight, feathers, and full body massages. I believe in extended foreplay. I think touching is a basic human need (one that I can't get enough of). To me romance is about the little things you do to show you care. It doesn't have to be a dozen roses, an expensive dinner, a limo ride, fancy vacation, or diamonds; although those things are wonderful. Romance can be shown through small gestures such as: a single rose, greeting cards, making dinner, a hug or kiss, saying "I love you", rubbing tired feet, a phone call during the day to say "I miss you", small gifts, or a massage. I am fortunate to have a husband who believes in romance as much as I do. Romance can happen daily, it doesn't have to be saved for special occassions. Here's a great quote I found which sums up how I see romance: "Romance isn't lust or a legally binding partnership. It is the physical manifestation of love without taking your clothes off." There are tons of romance web sites. Here are some of my favorites , as well as a few poetry sites. Enjoy.

BBW 

I am a BBW (big beautiful woman) and have been my entire adult life. I think I am very sexy and attractive, although not all men would think so. It's somewhat difficult being a larger person in a society that worships thin. However, I know that over 50% of American women are a size 14 or up, so really being a BBW is the norm. I was pleasantly surprised when I went online and discovered FAs. It's great to see how many men there are out there who think I'm beautiful just the way I am. I have found someone who sees my inner beauty as the most important thing, yet still lusts after my outer beauty. I am soft, curvy, and round. I take pride in myself. I dress well, smell great, and smile often. I also love lingerie and sexy clothes. I am assertive and confident. My self esteem is high. I enjoy reading BBW magazine and anything else that is fat positive. I make no excuses for my size, nor do I allow anyone to put me down. There is simply more of me to love. Here are some sites on the Internet related to being a BBW that I hope you will enjoy.

 Metaphysics 

"We are not human beings having a spiritual experience, we are spiritual beings having a human experience" 

My spiritual beliefs are based mostly on metaphysics. I believe there is more going on in the Universe than what we can see with our eyes. I am highly intuitive and recognize this as my sixth sense. I don't believe in every metaphysical concept, but I am open minded. I know there isn't one right way, one right answer, or one right religion. I do believe in a Supreme Being and I choose to call it God. I feel that the line between the physical world and the spiritual world is a fine line. I know that I receive support, guidance, and love from the other side on a daily basis. Some of the concepts I believe in are: soul mates, reincarnation, karma, angels, UFO's, aliens, ghosts, and psychic phenomenon. I feel connected to the Universe and know my place in it. There is a great wealth of information on the New Age on the Internet. These are a few of my favorite sites.

Alternative Healing

I am a holistic healing practitioner. I have been doing body work for over five years now and I love it. I have a business called An "Angel's Touch". It's great to be able to boost people's immunity, to help them relax, and to make them feel good. I believe in Western medicine, but I feel we need to be more responsible for our own health. There is a strong mind-body connection and we are the only one who can put it to good use. Doctors treat symptoms, not causes, and they avoid preventive care all together. There is more to being healthy than medicine can provide. We need to learn to take care of our bodies before they ever get sick. I think herbs and vitamins, as well as forms of stress relief are a good start. I believe in many types of alternative healing and health care but am involved in only three. They are: Reiki, Foot Reflexology, and ear candling. Reiki is an ancient holistic system of healing involving the laying on of hands in order to balance the mind, body, and spirit. The energy induces a state of complete relaxation. Other benefits include: improved health, reduced stress, pain relief, and accelerated healing. Foot Reflexology is a holistic form of preventive health care which combines Chinese accupressure and foot massage. It stimulates over 7000 nerve endings and activates the natural healing power of the body. Benefits include: improved circulation, reduced stress, revitalized energy, a more efficient immune system, and deep relaxation. Ear candling is a simple, safe, gentle, but ancient natural method of ear hygiene. It is done by placing a special beeswax candle in the ear and lighting it. Due to the cone shape of the candle a vacuum is formed. This vacuum draws out the wax and impurities in the ear canal while stimulating energy points. It is equivalent to the doctor using a water syringe in his office to clean the ears, only better. Not only is it good hygiene and relaxing, but it also helps to prevent colds, improves hearing, clears the body of toxins, relieves tinnitus, helps post nasal drip, and regulates ear pressure. During the session a facial massage is also done. This technique is not only healthy but very relaxing as well. Some interesting links for more information on these three techniques follow.

"Teachers do it for the outcome, not the income"

I am an elementary school teacher. I am currently teaching first grade in a low income culturally diverse public school. I have worked with children as long as I can remember and I always knew I wanted to. I went to college and was torn between becoming a children's counselor and a teacher; counseling won out. I spent 6 unhappy years listening to terrible stories about children and working with some truly messed up kids. I was a good counselor, but I couldn't leave it at work. I was unsatisfied and knew I needed to do something else. I wanted a job that I could feel good about. I decided to go back to school and give teaching a shot. I started attending Chapman University. They have a good but difficult multiple subject credential program. I was substituting full time and going to graduate school. It was hard, but it has all paid off. I am in a job now that I feel good about even though I go home exhausted every day and spend many hours working late at school or at home. No one ever told me it would be this difficult, but it is also very rewarding! I work hard, but I make a difference in children s lives. It is amazing to watch them grow and learn. I love working with the younger children because they love school and they are so excited about learning new things. Teaching takes immense patience, flexibility, and creativity. Mostly it takes heart and soul, not to mention blood, sweat, and tears. Teaching is not just my job, it is my career. I am good at it. I hope to teach for many years to come. Being a first year teacher is the worst most stressful year a teacher will have. Here are some of the sites I ve found which helped make it more bearable.
