\u00a0I love the freedom that fearlessness brings!<!--more-->\\r\\n\\r\\nI wanted to write at this special time to encourage faith and trust, especially in this year of immense change. \u00a02012 promises to be an extraordinary time on this planet that will propel us as humanity into a whole new vibration of love, harmony and peace. \u00a0I know it, feel it and am completely trusting that it is so! \u00a0Love is the innate fabric of the universe and this hologram we have co-created. \u00a0It is pure love that will get us through.\\r\\n\\r\\nThere is a tremendous force for good that is moving through the globe now to dislodge the dark forces that have ruled this world for centuries and enslaved humanity (known as the Illuminati or Cabal.) \u00a0Their power has infiltrated many institutions, governments and the global world of finance, as well as some corporations and areas of life we take for granted. \u00a0Much of the suffering in the world is due to this pervasive force. \u00a0\u00a0We believe that now, right now, forces for good are moving to remove this threat to our happiness, freedom and harmony and great changes are afoot!\\r\\n\\r\\nI normally have not gotten into these kinds of things in the past, but feel\u00a0compelled\u00a0to share the GOOD NEWS \u00a0now and to share with you the truth that all that will transpire is FOR THE GOOD OF ALL. \u00a0So do not fear, as all of the changes, though they may cause some disturbance in the flow for a short while, will be for our highest good and ultimately give us, as humanity, \u00a0the freedom and safety we have sought for so long.\\r\\n\\r\\nIt has been SEEN scientifically and intuitively that the LIGHT HAS ALREADY PREVAILED! \u00a0I believe it with every fiber of my being and by the end of this year, we will have a very different and much better world.\\r\\n\\r\\nBELIEVE and know that ALL IS IN PERFECT DIVINE ORDER.\\r\\n\\r\\nALLELUJA!!!\\r\\n\\r\\n&nbsp;\\r\\n\\r\\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\\r\\n\\r\\nI was born on Easter many years ago and so it has always been a very special celebration for me throughout my life. \u00a0Raised Catholic, I remember so well the wafting scent of the incense during &#8220;high mass&#8221; and the &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/trishregan.com\/2018\/rejoice-a-day-for-hope-and-celebration\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[18,37],"class_list":["post-211","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-inspirational-wisdom","tag-inspiration","tag-spiritual-inspiration"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/trishregan.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/211","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/trishregan.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/trishregan.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trishregan.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trishregan.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=211"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/trishregan.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/211\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/trishregan.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=211"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trishregan.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=211"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trishregan.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=211"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
