Dear Translators and Administrators,
This is a Special Edition of this Heaven News. DON’T JUMP AHEAD, yet be sure to read to the end.
Aliksan Ohanyan or Alex from the beautiful country of Turkeye wrote about an experience he had before he knew about Heavenletters and which he recently remembered.
He wrote:
“This is what happened one day during my journey of knowing You. It was about one year ago. It could have been during a meditation or in a dream, but this does not matter. I was told that I would talk to people saying God's love words. When I asked for clear understanding of how this would happen, the answer was: ‘When the time comes, you will understand.’
“Oh My God, who can say that this is not a miracle? I met You, and now the contract that was divinely designed is being processed as I translate Heavenletters.”
Wow, it must be that this divine aspect of our lives represents Destiny AND Free Will. Somehow we find ourselves here, as individuals and as a group. How could this happen unless God beckoned us? We didn’t know until the time came. It’s like God always knew we would be here. Sometimes I wonder how this did happen to me, Gloria. Do you feel that way sometimes too?
Dear Readers, kindly comment on the forum, if you will, so everyone can hear what you have to say.

In the previous Translator and Administrative Heaven News, it was stated that if we start thinking about new translators coming to translate, they will come!
A few days after that, a solid dedicated new Turkish translator arrived! His name is Aliksan Ohanyan or Alex, the same gentleman who had that great experience above. . Alex wrote to us the first time and the very next day he was already posting his translations! Hurrah!
Alex is starting with 3 translations a week and will move up to 7 days a week.
At the very end of this newsletter, you will read about two more new translators, one from the Netherlands, and one from Germany.

Addendum! from Gloria.[ Apologies. Originally, mistakenly, I mixed up Alex from Turkeye with Axel from Germany. It would appear that I have some kind of dyslexia and mixed up the two names -- Alex and Axel. Please excuse me. I've got it right now.]
More news:
Paula Launonen has started an Italian Heavenletter Facebook page. What a great idea. Thank you so much.
We also have a Spanish Facebook page now. I neglected to write down who wrote the following. I am remembering it was you, Wanda Veloz. Am I right? Please confirm, dear one.
I believe it is Wanda who wrore:
“I forget to tell you about the facebook group lol. By the way, we've reached 93 likes there, so woo! Pretty happy. We're almost at 100!”
Fantastic!
Now to Breaking News and What Makes This a Special Edition:
When Heavenletters started, an especially good friend of mine, kept telling me: “Don’t do Heavenletters 7 days a week. You’ll wear yourself out.”
My response was: “God wants Heavenletters seven days a week.”
It took nineteen years before I came near to being worn out on the computer. From 10 to 14 hours every day, 7 days a week, on the road and in rain and snow -- to my good fortune -- Heavenletters became my life.
Writing down Heavenletters is the treat of my life every day. 10 Heavenletters a day could flow, and I would only be exhilarated. Writing down a Heavenletter is quick and easy.
In contrast, emails, as much I like communicating with everyone, responding often takes me 6 hours a day, and there are often heavy-duty emotions and decisions to be made with emails that take their toll.
It used to be I worked consistently from 4 a.m. to 10 p.m. with quick short breaks. Now I find that my eyes too often cannot or won’t focus on the computer.
From God and from other sources as well, it has become clear that I have to regroup myself with some rest, down time, and attention on self-development plus, possibly, a chance to work on projects that have long been waiting, like the musical Heart of a Gopi and an online interactive Godwriting Workshop which all of you great translators and administrators will be invited to as honored guests.
Starting very soon, I am forcing myself to take a temporary break, not from Heavenletters, definitely not, but from email and overseeing the forum.
A splendid opportunity divinely came to me for a change of scenery, to rest, and re-balance my life. Two amazing Godwriters are sponsoring me on a 10,772 mile flight to and from Perth, Australia, offering me friendship, travel, good times, opportunity for a break and also assuring me of bright sunny summer days down under!
A friend of mine who does Astrocartography (sp.) also told me that the best place in this entire world for me to be in is Perth, Australia! She indicates that in Perth, my personal and Heavenletter life will open up in delightful and surprising ways.
Pierre and Normand extended an infinitely generous all expense-paid adventure. Normand was a long-time French translator and administrator. I got to meet Pierre and Normand when they came to South Africa, where I was then living, in order to take a Godwriting workshop in January of 2012. Pierre and Normand subsequently invited Santhan (Heaven Admin) and me to their adopted country, beautiful home, and most gracious hospitality. Spent a marvelous month there as I worked straight from early morning until about 5 p.m. when I then came out of my room and joined the party. On this visit, I will fit into Pierre and Normand’s lives and be a good guest.
This trip starts with a visit to my daughter in Chicago. From Chicago, I fly to Perth. On my return, there will also be a visit with my daughter. For three weeks in between, I will be in The Land of Oz!
I expect to be back home between December 12 and the 15th.
What will happen to translator and administrator questions at this time?
Let’s make this an opportunity for all translators and administrators to pitch in to support and answer one another’s questions. Be one big team. I count 26 of you.
It will be hard for me not to follow the forum, so I ask you, the leaders of Heavenletters, to make yourselves visible on the forum and help greet people who post and welcome them here.
It would be great if you yourself would comment under the Heavenletter column as well. Of course, translations are your great contribution, yet what do even the very best Heavenletters and translations amount to without the beautiful hearts and souls of the subscribers who read them? Anyway, it’s right to extend ourselves to all guests, do you agree?
What to do when there is an English phrase you are translating and you are unsure what it means?
Please help each other. Together, do what you can do to figure out the intended meaning. You are looking for clarity and confidence that you can feel secure in your understanding. Do the best you can do as a team.
What other opportunities do you think of that you might want to make happen?
What occurs to me is this Heaven News itself. Compile the news, include photos, take the initiative. What small group among you is drawn to take over the Translator and Administrator Heaven News? There is much great stuff on the Translator Global Circle to excerpt from and other resources as well.
Who might like to be the translator (or two or three) who would like to manage the entire Translator Team and Department? Someone, or a small group, or several small groups to see that all translators have what they need, for instance:
To put together essential guidelines for new translators.
To see what is needed -- well, make new things happen.
Right now William and Santhan will be receiving the contact messages from people who offer themselves as translators and can refer these people to you so you can give new translators experience and confidence and help them in every way to get started and welcome them on the forum and in Heaven News.
If you can offer yourself to help out Santhan and William, please use the contact form here to let them know of your availability. Of course, this goes beyond language groups:

Two Brand-New Translators
Petra Poortman from the Netherlands has taken to translating Heavenletters into Dutch like a duck to water. Petra has had some beautiful experiences translating.
Paula Launanon, Italian translator and Heaven’s very first angel translator is Petra’s Heaven buddy. We all can use a buddy.
Here is a photo of Petra and her dog, Bailey, and the most favorite tree in her neighborhood. Petra loves to be outside. She also is loving to translate.
Our second newest translator is Uta Steger, a long-time subscriber from Germany. How many years, Uta? Uta is taking on translating the Heavenletter ebook into German. Thanks, dear Uta.
We now have 4 German translators headed up by longtime loyal translator and administrator, Theophil Balz, who thankfully is making great progress after the onset of a sudden painful illness. God bless you, dear Theophil.
Take good care of yourselves, everyone. Thank you for all you give so generously from your hearts. May all your dreams come true.
Love,
Gloria and the SpectacularHeaven Team
