Angelic Greetings,

      Have you noticed that the energy has been quite intense lately? Are you experiencing shifts in your life, career, or relationships? Just know that you are not alone. More than ever, this is a time to tune in and listen to your inner guidance. The Universe is constantly pouring forth its gifts of abundance and love onto you. If there is pain, then at some level, there is resistance to this natural flow. Pain is a gift in that sense because it can help you notice and see that something is out of balance. If we are honest with ourselves, we know that no other person or outward situation is the cause of our pain. We must look inward and investigate the source of the pain. And we must ask ourselves honestly how and why we are resisting the flow of our true Source. There is always a bigger picture if we can step back for a moment and observe objectively. You are the wise one. You have all the answers you need. You know what you are supposed to do. You also have the free will to choose.

      My personal experience is telling me that on a soul level, many of us have chosen to live more fully as our authentic, true selves. That means shedding those things – habits, beliefs, judgments, people, jobs, etc. – that are not aligned with our true nature, or that hold us back from the full expression of our true selves. This is the journey right now and in the coming year. I know that you teach what you have to learn so I am hoping to facilitate and join in this process with you in upcoming classes. And again, we are not alone. There is a Great Circle of Light Beings -- angels, archangels, goddesses, and ascended masters – reaching out to help and support us in our spiritual growth.

Words of Wisdom from a First-Grader

      A couple of years ago, I wrote about “Lessons from a first-grader” in which I shared some things I learned from my then first-grade son. Well, the other day, I had the chance to volunteer in my younger son’s first-grade class and I wanted to share with you a couple of the pearls of wisdom that one of his young classmates shared with me.

      When three little girls arrived at the activity center I was manning, one of them immediately said to me “You’re pretty.” I smiled, said thank you, and said that they were all pretty too. Then another girl in the group spoke up. She said: “Some moms are pretty and some moms are not so pretty. But they are all beautiful in their hearts.” Wow! What a simple and beautiful truth.

      Part of the time I spent with these girls was playing a game in which we were trying to get a cup attached by string to a pencil to land on top of the pencil. I didn’t succeed once. Well, after these girls finished another activity with another mom, the mom came to share with me what the same little girl had told her. The little girl said: “I think that everyone has a special talent. Michael’s Mom’s talent [that’s me] is not the cup game. I think maybe her talent is teaching. She’s good at it.”

Thanks to my first-grade friend for these very special and wise messages!

Archangel of the Month: Michael

Card: Crystal Clear Intentions

Message on Card: “Be clear about what you desire, and focus upon it with unwavering faith.”

      About Archangel Michael (taken from Doreen Virtue’s “Archangel Oracle Cards booklet): Michael’s name means “He is who is like God.” Michael’s chief role is to escort away the lower energies of fear. If you become worried or anxious, mentally ask Michael to bring you peace. You can also ask that he clear your home, office, vehicle, or community of toxic energies. When you call on Michael you may notice a warm feeling. That is because he has a fiery warrior spirit. His aura is royal blue mixed with tinges of purple.

Message from Michael on Nov. 21, 2005:

      “I come here today to tell you that this is not a time to shrink back and deny your power. This is not a time for thinking someone else will get the job done. And this is not a time for competition. It is a time to work together by individually pursuing your paths and your passions now. There is anger and disillusionment, but this is not a time for despair. Many lightworkers are finding or will find within the next few months opportunities presented to them to fulfill their purpose in their own unique ways. Seize these opportunities and do not worry about whether or not you are ready or prepared. Those worries and fears are delay tactics of the ego. There is an opening at this moment and you must reach up as high as you can to grasp the flame, the energy, the passion that will guide you. Summon the lion or lioness within for courage and go for it! The archangels and ascended masters are here assisting you in numerous ways. The secret, as always, lies within your heart. When you stay focused on you heart and unconditional love for yourself and others, you will accelerate at the speed of light. Obstacles will slip away and loving people, situations, and circumstances will be magnetized to you.

      “Be joyful, dear ones. Play, rejoice. Laugh out loud. Your laughter raises the vibration within and around you. It heals miraculously. You can live your life without so much seriousness, and so much worry. You can have fun and be a shining light to mankind. So gather your strength and courage – please ask me for help – and grab the opportunity that arises. This is the moment you’ve been waiting for. Feel it in your heart and celebrate with unabashed joy.”

Angel Blessings!
