Entry #1

Welcome to Expansion Self!

First off, I'd like to thank you for checking out my blog. It's the first time I'm doing one of these so it'll be a work in progress but I hope you'll enjoy it.

A little bit as to why I created this blog...

I wanted to have a place where I can share my thoughts with others and have them share there's as well. I love to exchange ideas and beliefs with other like minded individuals (and non-like minded as well... that's always fun) to get to know the world from a different perspective. I try to be as open and honest as possible about my thoughts, viewpoints, and experiences as much as possible and I hope you'll do the same. I want this blog to be interactive where you all can share your thoughts on my posts as well as ask me any questions you'd like.

About me:
I am an eternal student of life. I enjoy learning about cultures, beliefs, customs, religions, and the way people think. I have studied various subjects ranging from the metaphysical to the scientific. I have a particular interest in psychology and am currently studying it in school. I have worked as a Spiritual Life Coach/ Intuitive Counselor as well as an astrologer. Do to that, I've had a lot of experience with counseling others on a myriad of topics ranging from relationships to personal growth and empowerment. For me, my main objective when working with someone is to help them realize their highest potential and help them discover the tools they already have to achieve the goals they want in life. In the process, I learn a lot about life and it brings me a lot of joy.

So with that I, invite you all to feel free to ask me any questions you might have about myself, the work I do, or anything else that comes to mind. I am more than happy to help you any way I can. Also, I encourage you to tell me about yourself! Once I get my first subject blog out, that'll get the ball rolling.

But until then, you can let me know your thoughts:

Have you ever had an experience that you couldn't explain logically?

Do you believe in Life after Death? why or why not?

  2. My name is Angela Jewell, Angie for short and I use 1jewel4u as a username on accounts. I am 38 years old I can connect with your eternal student of life.I have had the same interest about the spiritual world however I am hesitant due to my faith in God. Its confusing because I do not want to harm my faith or be mislead.I read a book that said that the devil uses this to seperate with doubt.
    Was wondering what your intake is on this subject.....Do you believe in God? Jesus?
    I do believe that I have a gift of empathy, it has caused a great deal of stress in my life. The empathy feelings I have I see as a good thing but I have used it against myself for years. When people tell me to just cut those feelings away I really get frustrated because I can not do it. I can feel people pain before I even think of my own, even as I let those others destroy me I still feel for them. I have gotten better at perserving myself but only through my faith in God and as I get closer to Him I find it easier to distance myself from negitive people but not completely. Its a long story! I will share if you would like.

  3. In December this year on the 11th I lost the closet person to me in my life. She was my cousin, her mother is my mothers twin sister. We are 6months apart, she was the oldest of us and would have turned 39 on December 15. Her death was unexpected and I am rattled. I am strong in my Faith not is not what my mind is questioning. I had gone to about 7 month of Bible study where we answered questions from a pamphlet staright from the Bible and some of the answers just opened me up and I found more direction. One lesson was on death, at the time I thought I had found a answer that made sense and that I had peace in knowing. It stated that when we die we are no more, we know nothing, we are asleep until Jesus returns. Which I found comfort in instead of when people I love have grown old and die sitting up in heaven watching thier loved ones fall all to peices or grieve. At this time I also thought I had experienced grief but from where I am now I had no idea what grief was.
    I have lost loved ones but honestly there hasnt been alot of death around me until 2010.The ones that I have expereinced had been deathly ill and although I miss them I was relieved for them to go to sleep.They were all older, except my uncle he had hit his head while drinking and two days later he was in a comma, they thought it was his kidneys so they had him in ICU running dalias(cant spell) but then three days later found that he had crack his skull and the fluids had drained without knowing it.

    Back to my point, Missy the cousin who passed was sudden and crazy. We still have no information on what happened, they took her for autopsy but no results yet. She had started new medication on that Monday, went to sleep Thursday and was still alive Friday although incoherint and next thing I know is a phone call at 6:30 a.m. telling me she was gone.
    Since the I am not in comfort thinking her spirit is just gone, i want to know that she returned with God. Wether she can see me or not isnt my concern I just want to know that her spirit is existing.The day she passed I went to her apartment to sit with her dad waiting for the Med. examiner and she was upstairs I wanted to run to her side but I didnt because the cops reminded me that I should wait until she is at the funeral home and not in the position she was in. I regret not going up but I did get to view her before her family cremated her, which I wish they hadnt. Then after her stuff was moved from her apartment I went back to take pictures and to say the palsm 23 and to pray just to release any negitive energy left from the moment. In some way I was hoping to feel something a cold chill or anything but all I felt was peace. I havent been able to see her in my mind or in my dreams. I have dreams that I know she was in them but I can not see her, this I dont understand. We were so close in mind body and spirit. What I do have is images of her not detailed again I just know its her as a child and being lead by Jesus.

  4. She died on the 11th and on the 15th I found a bird in my house. At first I was just laughing with no thoughts of Missy, when suddenly as it flew from one side of my kitchen to the other I said outloud Missy, Missy thats you isnt it? The bird was no struggling to find away out once I said her name it matter of factly flew and perched on a angel that rest on the edge of the top of my bar, like a few inches of space below the ceiling.Then it sat there and looked at me, it seemed forever but most likely seconds.I could see the blue on its beck and the browns on its feathers. i think it was a finch. My sliding glass door was opened just a bit, after those seconds of eye contact the bird flew towards me which was away from the opened door, landed next to a vase I was cleaning that she likednd was thinking of giving to her daughter(17)and then in a calm manner flew across the room like it knew where the door was and without a struggle exited through the small opening.

    Guess I am going to stop here I know I am rambling now but I hope you get this comment and that you reply your thoughts. This blog was started in 2009 so I hope you still respond to it.
    God BLess and take care
