Hi Everyone, As a Phoenician, it is a very rare thing to be able to sit on a deck and look over the towering pine trees. If I could share with you the sights and smells of Idyllwild I would. The energy of the trees, earth, and blue sky add to what’s flowing here. Beginning Monday, July 24th I will be hosting the week on the 52 Weeks of Gratitude Movement page. What’s interesting is that my story in the book is about Idyllwild and a very significant journey in my life. It was a pivotal moment in my life that was probably one of the hardest and also one of the most spirit-filled. For the last several days I have been at the Primal Journey Yoga retreat hosted by Ignite Yoga Studios. As always the timing is perfect and these two events just synced. Now is the time to honor cycles and seasons and to embrace the next part of our journeys.  There are always choices and decisions to make but Spirit is calling …

Hi Everyone, Happy Full Moon (Monday, June 17th at 1:30 a.m. MST), this is the Strawberry Full Moon. And like our ally Raven, is steeped in the mysteries of life that have everything to do with the guiding and unseen hand of spirit. Take a few moments today to acknowledge where you’ve been with gratitude. This will pave the way for the upcoming summer solstice on Friday, June 21st at 8:54  a.m. MST. Whenever there is a solstice it is a time for honoring a season and cycle of life. What is it that you would like to honor this week? Set your intention on Summer Solstice and allow the energy of that intention to create something powerful in your life. This week the angels would like us to focus on celebration, not only for the recognition of accomplishments but also to acknowledge a time where you have overcome a difficult situation or challenge. Divine timing along with divine action is always in play, not only because of our spiritual team but also because of …

Hi Everyone, This week the archangels would like us to focus on healing. We are given multiple opportunities to heal past experiences and to live a life free from any negative aspects of that experience. With that in mind, this week ask yourself if your past is dictating your present, or is it creating opportunity?  That simply depends on how you look at it and your perspective.  There really isn’t any magic about healing; it is just about being open to the possibility of it and wanting it. We can ask for healing in our lives and then embrace it. The healing comes when we can find the joy and understanding of that experience and how it has touched us or shaped us in some way. Healing takes many different forms and is available to everyone. We don’t always have to know or understand all the whys and hows, we just need to be willing and committed to getting there.  I like to think of it as releasing ribbons from a present because what’s found …

Hi Everyone, Happy New Moon. We start off this month with a new moon to celebrate at 3:01 a.m. I received a spiritual nudge to check the angel number of 301, the message is, “you are co-creating the answers to your prayers with God and the Ascended Masters. The more you keep your thoughts Heavenward and positive, the faster your prayers will be answered.” This message completely supports our Archangel and Allies of the month and more importantly, the focus. Archangel Raziel is with us this month and is asking us to seek a deeper spiritual understanding. Not only so that we can apply that understanding in our daily walk but also to be able to experience the Divine presence in everything. Even when, and if there doesn’t appear to be anything divine in what is occurring, there is always a plan, a journey, challenges, and gifts. To be able to believe in the Divineness of everyday occurrences and trust that process will alleviate fear and help you step out with more confidence. This new …

Hi Everyone, This week the archangels would like us of focus on calmness. During this week, consider what things bring you peace and the ability to be calm. It could be that lately, you’ve forgotten how much you really appreciate diffusing essential oils or wearing them, or that your meditation practice has gone by the wayside. Refocus this week on anything that brings you that sense of peace, balance, and calm. It may be easy to feel or experience calmness and peace on a lazy Sunday morning when you’re at home in your sacred space. But what about those crazy mornings on the freeway? How can you carry that peace with you into your hectic schedule? What I find works best for me is to begin my day in quiet reverence and meditation,. That act alone sets an intention for the day. Sometimes I slip and find myself doing all the other things on my list of “to dos” first,  and then my day simply does not flow smoothly. It is in those times that …

Hi Everyone, I want to start this week with a little debriefing about last week with the headline of Blame it on the moon. Sometimes we just have to ride the wave no matter what it is and try to stay centered in the process. I have noticed more reactivity (sigh) than usual. Just keep doing you, use the tools you already have, and find some time to slough off excess energy, including physical activity and meditation. In my book, prayer is always helpful. This week the angels would like us to focus on Leadership, and to me, there is no better way than by modeling what we do every day. I have people say to me, you just seem so calm, which is pretty funny to me since I am most definitely a type A personality. However, I do take the time to walk, meditate, and do those things I know help keep me stay grounded and centered even in the middle of chaos. What are some of the things you do that bring …

Hi Everyone, This week the Archangels would like to focus on the circle of life and with it is beginnings and endings. Everything has a cycle and a season and us humans who experience both challenges and blessings are no different. If you have felt sort of in-between lately, it has been a necessary pause along the continuous path. A cosmic ebb and flow are at play that will close one door and open another. There may be times within this week where you will feel like one thing is ending, just know that as it does it is opening up another one in the same beat. This one, however, is better and in more alignment with who you are today. We have been individually discerning life choices and directions lately and so this now makes perfect sense to me.  As we flow through the week the advice from the Archangels is to trust, listen, and be aware that divine action is taking place. Archangel Jophiel can help us find those golden nuggets of beauty, …

Hi Everyone, This week the Archangels would like us to focus on Surrender.  I put it in bold because this is something that I’m really working on and doesn’t come naturally to me. I’m more of a doer and a fixer and know that many share my struggle. We have been focusing this month on compassion, transmutation, and sacredness so when we are trying to surrender, please remember to not beat yourself up in those moments when the thought of surrender is as doable as touching the sun. However, there are gifts in surrendering and gifts in the effort to surrender. Growth occurs even in the moments that we would not dub successful, especially in surrender. There are times to be full of action and warrior energy but this week is more about allowing spirit to take the wheel. Surrender doesn’t mean giving up or walking away; instead, it is the simple act of committing or recommitting to your path regardless of how it appears or seems in the real world. In surrender, we acknowledge …

Hi Everyone, We begin a new Month on Wednesday, May 1st and the beginning of the week is a great time to reconcile April. Our Archangel and theme of the month are Archangel Zadkiel and Whale with Compassion and Transmutation. Archangel Zadkiel is the Archangel of Transmutation and brings the attributes of compassion to self and others. The idea of transmutation is a metamorphosis and a change in the state of being and is much different than transformation. In transformation, we evolve but take the various aspects of self with us on the journey. Transmutation is the complete change of the state of being in mind, body, and spirit. This is a fascinating adventure this month as new ways of being in the world, our Work, and even our ideas and aspirations change based on who we are today and who we are becoming versus who we were. Embrace the change and be open to the subtle ways that spirit works. Outwardly you will see signs in the form of opportunities and the way you just …

Hi Everyone, Happy Easter! This week the angels would like us to focus on new beginnings. We are right on track with the theme of Easter which is starting fresh, renewed, and with a more profound sense of clarity and understanding. Over the last several weeks we have been rearranging, organizing and clearing things out both physically and spiritually. Now it is time to embrace that change by moving forward with grace, ease and the support of our earthly family and that of our spiritual team. There is action now, and the waiting is over. I also have this sense of taking a deep breath and jumping into the deep end of the pool without floaties. There is a time for caution and waiting, and there is a time to adopt Nike’s tag line, “Just do it!” This is going to be an exciting summer as we are now thoroughly anchored into our newness. As we take that giant leap or several small ones I’m reminding myself and you that we chose our spiritual blueprints …
