First came The Cosmos of the Soul: A Spiritual Biography in 2011, a book that highlighted this author's journey of awakening. In the 2014 sequel, The Cosmos of the Soul II: Messages, author Michele Doucette begins by emphasizing the importance of the miracle of the breath in conjunction with proper breathing techniques (and their value to the whole person); thereafter, she proceeds to focus on 33 vital messages imperative to the spiritual wellbeing of every reader. Based on personal experience, this easy to read and excellently researched and referenced text presents the reader with a welcomed melange of methods and techniques that can be used to reconfigure one's subconscious mind. It is her contention that anyone following these methods will be better prepared to take conscious control of their lives.

Genevieve Massignon, author of Les Parlers Francais d'Acadie, sought to establish the origins of the French Acadian people based on linguistics, making the argument, in 1961, that many Acadians came from the Poitou region, south of Loudun, mainly because they were still speaking the old language, one rich and thick of Rabelais and Montaigne. She was also able to locate a number of records from the Poitou area that bore many of the same surnames found in early Acadie. Some of the villages in this area include Martaize, Aulnay, and La Chaussee. As a young man, Vincent Breau had been recruited as an agricultural worker for the fledging French colony of Acadie (possibly from the Poitou region of France). He settled at Port Royal (present day Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia). Several years after arrival, he married Marie Bourg, a daughter of another colonist from the same region in France. Never would I have thought, when I first began researching the Breau surname, that I would have ended up locating Catherine (de) Baillon, a 9th great grandmother, who, in turn would help me identify Charlemagne as a long lost ancestor. Many people of French-Canadian ancestry are able to trace their ancestry back to the Middle Ages, all courtesy of this woman. Catherine was born in Layes, near Montfort-L'Amaury in the Chevreuse Valley, Ile-de-France, in 1645. Her parents, Alphonse de Baillon and Louise de Marle, were members of the minor French nobility. Coming to New France around 1669, as a daughter of the King, or Fille du Roi (meaning an immigrant bride that royal officials would send over to the colony to marry a settler), she married Jacques Miville dit Deschenes on November 12, 1669 at Quebec City. Jacques Gueret dit Dumont, born 1665, son of Rene Gueret and Madeleine Vigoureaux, was my 7th great grandfather. Born in the Parish of Canchy, in Normandy, by 1691 he had immigrated to Nouvelle-France (present day Quebec) by way of La Rochelle. Three years later, on April 19, 1694, he married Marie Anne Tardif (the daughter of Jacques Tardif and Barbe d'Orange, also a Fille du Roi) in Beauport, Quebec. My research has validated that the lineage of Jacques Gueret dit Dumont also constitutes a medieval noble gateway back to Charlemagne. Add to all of this, a smidgeon of some magick from the land of the Tuatha de Danann, the Aos Si (people of the mounds), the Druids, the faery folk, the wee folk, the leprechaun ... and you have a most well-rounded lineage. The surname Feeley comes from O'Fithcheallaigh, a name that meant chess player. Chess was a game that was much in vogue in ancient Ireland. The clan originally belonged to Corca Laoidh (South-west Cork) and held territory in Ardfield and Clonakilty. By the 17th Century, branches of the sept had become established in north Connacht and Donegal. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Donal O'Fihelly, which was dated circa 1500; a writer of Irish Annals, known as The Last Warrior King, during the reign of King Henry V11 of England. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation (which led to the poll tax that we still have today). Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to develop, often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling, including the English name Field.

This devotional is to be used in conjunction with Tammy Mentzer Brown's A Teacher's Prayer in either individual study sessions or as the primary text book for Small Group studies.
