Hi Everyone, This week the archangels would like us to focus on abundance and gratitude for what we focus on we bring to us. In my mind, why not get the good stuff as close as possible. I write and talk a lot about perception because it is often the thing that will tie us up when it comes to shifting our focus to a more positive view.  Are you a person who takes time out of your day for the daily practice of gratitude? Or, do you bring it into your awareness, and because you are mindful of it,  gratitude then becomes a part of your energy and consciousness. I think that one may flow into the other. It wasn’t too long ago that I wrote about grace, and in that blog, I shared one of Deepak Chopra’s affirmations, “When I am grateful, I find my grace.” Gratitude lifts you and truly helps elevate everything you do, and when I remember that, I’m able to find the smallest things to be grateful for, and …

Hi Everyone and Happy Labor Day, This week the theme of all is well, continues from a different perspective. I am more profoundly aware this week of a deeper transformation that is occurring from the inside out that will eventually flow over and manifest in the physical world. How we experience it will be unique to each one of us according to our individual journeys. Most recently, I had a conversation with some colleagues about change. Sometimes change doesn’t look or feel very pretty. In fact, it can be downright painful. Beginning this week, consider that how things appear may not be as they actually are. However, as we are with Archangel Jeremiel this month, we know that all is well. This week the archangels would like us to focus on honoring the space, whatever that particular space may be. For some, it may mean doing something in your home that changes or shifts the energy to one of gratitude. Or, it could also mean that we need to honor the internal space that we …

Hi Everyone, This week we say goodbye to August and hello to September. Change is the theme for September, but maybe not in the way that you initially think. There will be softness added to the more abrupt changes we have all been experiencing that will sort of right the ship in very subtle ways. Some of you will be tempted to make drastic changes, and they may be appropriate for you. However, this month because of this season of change, consider a well thought out and logical plan rather than one that is based solely on emotion. Speaking of emotions, last month was an entire smorgasbord of emotional intensity, and now that is starting to balance out as well. Our Archangel for September is Archangel Jeremiel, who is an archangel that we usually don’t spend a lot of time talking about, and yet, he is mighty indeed. Especially in the realm of healing negative emotions and changing them into something else. Archangel Jeremiel is the archangel of transmutation. Transmutation means changing one form into …

Everyone, This week the archangels would like us to focus on and connect with Spirit. We can do so in a variety of ways through prayer and meditation, by honoring our selves and living within our values and beliefs systems, and by reading inspirational and uplifting stories or books. The written word, both in fiction and nonfiction, has been the source of some incredible insight into my life. Sometimes there is nothing better to nurture your own soul than reading a fictional story that transports you to a magical place where anything is possible. While we are all doing and managing busy lives and juggling responsibilities finding the balance with that and replenishing our own soul is the heart of being at one. The new moon brought stability and grounding, as well as setting intentions for the next few months. It could be that your intention is just to be more fluid in your life and not try to swim upstream all the time. While those moments of swimming upstream strengthen us, it should not …

Hi Everyone, This week the archangels would like us to focus on telling it like it is. This is a foundational aspect of following our truth and living with integrity. It may not always be a popular one, but there is a time and place where using your voice to express your perspective is essential, especially when it has to do with following your values and beliefs. Telling it like it is can sometimes be tricky because everyone has a perspective, and that perspective, along with differing values and beliefs, can create conflict. Here’s the good news. You are only responsible for your part of that equation and for listening with respect to someone’s else viewpoint. I don’t think that we have to agree with everyone to convey loving-kindness, we just have to honor our truth, live it, and express it the best way we can. Archangel Raguel is the archangel who can help with interpersonal conflict and can help to create a balance where everyone wins. This week listening is a great skill to …

This week the archangels would like us to focus on hope. Feeling hopeful is that tiny seed of faith that springs in the middle of your chest when you think or say, maybe it’s possible. That seed of faith is all it takes to manifest dreams, desires, or possibilities. The angels take our hope and help us give them life by opening doors, introducing us to people, sending us signs, and creating the opportunity. If you’re having trouble finding the small seed, ask the angels to help you. Take that tiny seed then and nurture it and allow it to grow healthy and strong. Most people equate the lotus flower to the yoga world or to Buddhism. The lotus flower has significant sacred meanings in many different cultures, including Hindu, Egyptian, and in early Christianity. In Saint Thomas of the Cross depictions, you can see the lotus flower shown underneath the cross while a dove rests above it.  To me, it has a special significance as a reminder and a symbol of hope. This beautiful flower is seen …

Hi Everyone, Whew, we made it! July is officially over and with it some interesting (nice way of saying challenging) emotions. Today, Monday, August 3rd, is the full moon at 8:58 a.m. and is an excellent time for a reset. In your meditation today and for the next three days, choose one thing to let go of that will free you up either physically or emotionally. Archangel Haniel can help us with emotional sensitivities as well as those sensitivities that can happen during a full moon. Let’s face it, with everything going on right now, we don’t need an additional reason to be feeling emotional. August is with Archangel Gabriel and Nurture. It couldn’t come at a better time for us when nurturing and self-care are so vitally important in how we show up in the world for ourselves and for each other. The subject of nurturing is multifaceted. There is self-care nurturing, nurturing our children, our inner-child, and others. It may take flexibility to be able to do one or more of those things, …

Hi Everyone, This is the last week of July with Archangel Michael and Remember Who You Are. It has been an exciting month and a chance for us to reconnect with ourselves. We spent some time on self-reflection and mindfulness as well as recommitting to seeing the beauty in things. As always, our spiritual team has been with us to guide, inspire, and show us the way. We also had moments that have challenged us on just about every level, but within those challenges, we have grown and will continue to do that. This week the Archangels would like us to focus on leadership. Archangel Gabriel is the Archangel of Communication and allows us to speak our truth in loving, kind, and compassionate ways. He is the Archangel who helps us develop those leadership qualities that will enable us to be a leader in productive ways. Those leadership qualities are mostly expressed by being a role model in our daily life.  The most powerful way to do that is by being the leader in everything …

Hi Everyone, This week the archangels would like us just to take a moment to breathe deeply and unwind. It appears that we have all been on the busy train lately. Now, it’s time to just enjoy a few moments. Do something different this week that will interrupt your current trajectory and instill new energy. We can focus and be focused and then take those moments where we relax and not be focused on anything. Sometimes giving yourself a break, and allowing your mind to wander is, in itself a good practice. When you reflect, you can stand back and look at things with fresh eyes and a clear mind. In the quiet and silent moments, what is it that you hear? Is it negative self-talk? Or do you give yourself some positive feedback for a job well done? These quiet moments are still learning and growing opportunities for me, but what I find is that in the quiet moments when I am grateful, that gratitude will shift the energy to a positive, loving, and …

Hi Everyone, This week the archangels would like us to focus on believing in a little magic. While the world has gone topsy turvy, we are reminded that how we view the world, ourselves, and each other is most important. The saying so within, so without means that what we focus on (and believe) we create. As powerful manifestors in the universe, we do have the power to manifest, so keep those thoughts focused on what you want rather than what you don’t want. Sometimes magic can be very subtle such as in the belief of something greater than ourselves, hope in a better tomorrow, or being grateful for the simplest of things such as noticing beauty. As I’m writing this blog, I’m wondering what I can do right now to beautify my space. This can be something straightforward that you equate with beauty. It could be rearranging something, hanging up a new photo, or cleaning a window. Being focused on beauty can also be as simple as taking a walk and being very present …
