Author Gary Quinn and I met only a handful of times. During each visit, I felt embraced by his acceptance, love, and truth, wishing I could do it for myself. I struggled up until about five years ago with the sense of loving what I was doing, but not at all with who I was being. The “not good enough” ran me, and I jammed it all behind mental walls.
My intuitive friend and author Gary Quinn knew that — instantly, of course – when we met about twenty years ago just after his book May the Angels Be with You pubbed. Later, in 2008, supporting his newest book at the time, Angels Believe and Receive, Gary sent out a short excerpt via his newsletter.”Our ideas and thoughts, ” Gary wrote, “often create our realities, because we give such power to them. Have you been hanging on to doubts and fears about the future? Those negative feelings are all made up in your mind. You are perfect just the way you are.”I used to have a hard time hearing his message when he would tell me that I am perfect. Immediately, I would throw a barrage of words against it: I can’t possibly be perfect. He would sweetly remind me that my angels love me just the way I am.
I remember this one time, we were at the BEA — Book Expo America — in New York City at the Jacob Javitz Center. We tore around from booth to booth, greeting authors he knew. As we moved swiftly through the crowds, he cheerfully spoke, to break down my resistance. I experienced Gary’s enthusiasm, telling me to visualize myself in my own booth, telling me that my angels adore me, telling me they have always been with me, even during the traumas as a child, teen, young adult. By day’s end, my body vibrated with laughter, and I felt like I was flying.
When I was young, my angels — I could see them, can see them — would take me away during the worst of the trauma, and the bright light I had entered would set me back down into my body when the violence was over.
One morning, when I felt like I was “not-enough,” I decided to meditate. I connected with my angels, tears instantly rolled down my face, and I felt fresh and new and loved. How is that possible, I wondered. Our angels are always there, ready to bring us into the light, which is also the higher vibrations Gary speaks of.
Gary says, “Dare to be great. You have the energy and the help to achieve greatness. You only have to ask.”
Ask! What do you want? In this very moment, in this Now, what do you want? Doesn’t that make you smile!
“The Universe has everything you need, and your angels will make sure that you receive it, if you welcome them into your life. Most importantly, banish the thought you are not worthy. You, too, deserve gifts from the Universal force,” Gary said.
A few years after Gary and I met for that interview on May the Angels Be with You, he sent me an electronic version of his manuscript Living in the Spiritual Zone. I loved it.
Gary is for real. I’ve never heard a false note from him. If he says you are perfect, and to welcome your angels into your life so you will receive the blessings you desire, believe him. That time we raced around BEA in New York City, Gary Quinn was walking his talk.
