I've left St. Anthony finder of love cards in churches and shrines and coffee shops and restaurants all over Budapest. If you look closely, you'll see the cards at the base of the statue tucked next to the flower pot. Spreading love.....all over Eastern Europe.

I'm in Berlin at a friend's house. I've been traveling around Eastern Europe for the past 10 days leaving little St. Anthony cards around in Coffee Shops, restaurants, bookstores and churches along the way. I've discovered that many churches actually have a statue or shrine to St. Anthony. I took that as a good omen and so left cards behind on or near the shrines. If I can figure out how to add pictures to this page of the cards and statues, I'll post some. If not, I'll wait to get home and seek the help of Natalie or one of my children.
I've visited Budapest, Prague, Vienna and now Berlin. I now am convinced that the Fairy Tales we read as children took taken place in Eastern Europe! The settings for these tales replicate the city centers, the castles, the plazas and churches that still adorn these beautiful cities. The pictures from the likes of Cinderella, Hansel and Gretel, Wee Willy Winky, Simple Simon, The Beauty and the Beast, Humpty Dumpty etc.,etc., etc., came to life as I walked through these picturesque cities and villages. The bridges, the cobble stoned streets, the lamp posts, city walls, stone stairways, wooden and iron gates, ancient and mid evil statues.......all brought back memories of Grimm Brother's Fairy Tales. Spectacularly beautiful yet quaint and romantic.
Believe in the power of myth, believe in the power of prayer, believe in miracles, believe in love.- that's the message on the St. Anthony finder of love card. I'm sure they'll fall into the right hands. There are no accidents, there are no coincidences,....and only love is real.

Natalie and I worked all Friday evening to complete the website. As soon as our web master, Michelle from TechKnow Solutions, Inc. works out a few kinks and applies the shopping cart, we'll be ready to roll. I expect the statues to arrive this week. It's all very exciting and it's been a long time in the making. But, if I've learned anything in my life, I've learned that there's a divine order to things and that it's all about divine timing. The minute the website is live, I'll pass the word along. Then, I will ask everyone to please do the same - pass the word through FB, email, Twitter, etc. etc. Can't wait to spread the love! Thanks already for your help!
