Angelic Greetings,
It’s back to school – already! I think I blinked
and summer vacation was over. Monday morning, as we were walking
up to the school, my 8-year-old son confessed that he felt good
going back to school, but also bad. The mixed feelings seemed to
confuse him. But I am sure many of us can identify with that. My
house is very quiet this morning and I will admit that part of
me cherishes the peace and part of me misses the background
noise of tiny voices, cartoons, and video games.
As Archangel Uriel just reassured me, however,
(see the message below), it is time to get back to work, to step
up, and take action. I am ready. How about you? I am looking
forward to the next few months, to reconnecting with many of you
through classes and emails, and to meeting more wonderful
lightworkers.
New
Certification Course Planned
Many of you have
inquired about a certification course and the angels have
assured me that now is the time. I am tentatively planning to
offer a three-day course to become a Connecting With Light Angel
Guidance Practitioner on Nov. 11-13 (registration and
orientation on Thursday evening, Nov. 10) at the Holiday Inn on
Hollywood Beach. The exact details are still to be announced,
but I would like to get a feel for how many of you might be
interested in attending.
The course is open to
anyone who feels guided to heal, teach and spiritually counsel
others by working with the angels or other spiritual healing
methods. We will spend three days together learning, growing,
healing, and inspiring one another. Morning yoga and lunch will
be included daily. My hope is that this course will help you
gain experience, trust and confidence to get your personal
lightwork out to the world, in whatever form it takes. More
details will follow. Please email me if you would like to
receive updates about this course.
Archangel of the Month: Uriel Card: You Know What to Do
Message on Card:
“Trust your inner knowledge and act without delay.” About
Archangel Uriel (taken from Doreen Virtue’s “Archangel Oracle
Cards booklet): His name means “The Light of God.” He is known
for his ability to enlighten our minds with Divine inspiration.
Anytime you need answers or insights, call upon Uriel. You’ll
know that Uriel has answered when you have repetitive thoughts
or ideas that are positive, loving, and helpful. Uriel usually
lights the pathway ahead, one step at a time. Uriel’s energy is
pale yellow, like a lit candle and his energy is aligned with
amber crystal.
Message from Uriel on August 8, 2005:
“Take a moment. Breathe. Relax. Feel my warm
golden light gently embracing you and piercing through your
indecisiveness like the sun breaking through after a foggy
morning. In this light, in this state of relaxed calm, you are
the master. The answers lie here. The truth lies here. This is
where the ‘gut reaction’ begins.
“But first we must speak of trust. You have come
a long way in learning to trust your feelings and intuition, as
you call it. But doubts creep in as they often will. It is the
human condition. You are remarkable, one-of-a-kind beings,
because you have emotions. These emotions are truly a gift. But
they are also a challenge, especially when it comes to trusting
your inner wisdom. Fear, worry, anxiety, depression, even
excitement, can mask what is true beneath the surface. Strong
emotions act like a storm upon the water, making it cloudy and
unsettled so that it is difficult to decipher what exactly lies
below the surface. In turbulent times, call upon me to help you
settle the storm and calm the waters.
“Gather your strength now for it is time to move
on. You have rested and rejuvenated and now it is time to move
ahead, to take action. Trust the thoughts and ideas that are
coming to you. Trust the inspirations that are filling your
daydreams and night dreams. Trust that you really do know what
to do – that you are indeed in touch with your deepest wisdom.
There is no need to be overwhelmed. Trust that all your needs
are met and that the assistance you require, in terms of people,
money, and time, will be there. Give me your doubts and your
strong emotions so that we may smoothly sail on crystal clear
waters in the direction of your dreams.”

Angelic Greetings,
Well, we have all been on quite an emotional rollercoaster over
the past few weeks. The hurricane and all the images and stories
that go with it have stirred up a wide range of emotions and
reactions. And in those emotions and reactions are many lessons
to be learned.
One thing that comes to me out of this is that
often, it takes a major shake-up to open our eyes and not only
see the changes that need to be made, but actually get motivated
to make the changes. I remember that a facilitator of a retreat
I attended talked about the “neck-snapping event” in your life.
Practically everyone has had at least one. It’s that event that
makes you pause and do a double-take. It might knock you right
off your center. It may blow away everything you have believed
up until that moment. But mostly, it makes you look at life
through new eyes, even if for a brief moment. It fills you with
awe and determination. How many of us stepped onto the spiritual
path because of a “neck-snapping event”?
On a grand scale, we could call Katrina a
neck-snapping event, couldn’t we? It got the attention of so
many and collectively, we all paused and blinked our eyes and
questioned our own take on “reality”. It brought so many issues
to the forefront – issues that we have ignored for so long, but
that do require major change if we are to progress as a society.
Poverty. Our reliance on oil. Global warming. Environmental
hazards. Inadequacies in our government. These are major issues
that are not going to be changed overnight and not without the
resolve of a great number of people.
What can we do as individuals to help in this
seemingly overwhelming task? It certainly does not depend on
just one of us. It depends on a lot of us just doing something,
no matter how small. We all have a part to play.
Take a moment to think about what might have
touched you most during the hurricane. What got you angry or
made you cry? What might have propelled you to action? These
give hints toward where your passion lies and where you might
find a way to be of service. Bring those feelings into your
heart center and then ask your soul “How can I help? How can I
do my small part to elicit the changes that need to be made? How
can I serve?” Of course, let us continue to join our Light
together and share it with all who need it. And let us not
forget too quickly. It is easy to pour out our compassion when
we are in the midst of the drama. But just like Sept. 11, the
tsunami, Iraq, and other neck-snapping events we have all
experienced, the images and the emotions tend to fade away and
we return to our everyday tasks and put our blinders back on.
Together, let us make a commitment to keep remembering and to
keep placing our focus on the way we desire the world to be. We
ask for and accept the assistance of God, the angels, and the
ascended masters in helping us have the courage and initiative
to make and be the changes of which we dream.

Archangel of
the Month:
Gabriel
Card:
Nurture Message on Card:
“As you nurture a child, you
nurture your own inner child.
Both activities are important for you right now.”
About Archangel Gabriel/Gabrielle
(taken from Doreen Virtue’s “Archangel Oracle Cards booklet):
Gabriel’s name means “God is my strength.” She is
the messenger angel and loves to help writers, speakers, or
teachers clearly communicate their messages. She also assists
with parenting, children, and pregnancy and will assist you in
nurturing your own inner child. Her aura is copper colored.
Message from Gabriel on Sept. 14, 2005:
“This is a time for self care. There is a
harshness in the air which has kept many on edge. There is a lot
of stress that is being carried in the hearts and minds of
people. We say there is no need for this stress as all that it
does is keep you from seeing and feeling our presence. The
support from the Heavens is around you more than ever at this
moment. You are being led and guided. But how can you hear and
feel us when the monster of stress has consumed your soul and
you wrap your thoughts around everyday matters? Release your
stress now. Give it to the angels who surround you with their
love and comfort. Give up your fights and struggles and turn
your attention upward.
“Watch your words, my friends, for they embitter
your battles further. Your words to yourself are harsh and your
words about your situations are harsh. Thus the harsh energy
that continues to be drawn to you. Step into the Light with your
thoughts and words and watch the miraculous shift in your
perspective.
“Make time to relax, enjoy a good night’s sleep,
and nurture yourself in loving ways. Speak kindly to yourself as
you would to a child who was in need of comfort. This is what
you need right now. Once you have re-centered yourself, you will
begin to help others do the same. Remember to laugh
 and
play as you did in your childhood. Surround yourself with
children if you can and allow their smiles and warmth to soothe
your own inner child. There is much to do, but we tell you this.
It will be done so much more easily and joyfully when you rid
your soul of stress.”
Angel Blessings!
