STAY in your POSITIVE CIRCLE with Archangel Michael !

2012-02-25T08:08:00.001-08:00

Let your Angels shield you from ANY situation, person, place, environment, hurtful words, comments, judgements, decisions etcetcetc ETCETERA......wow, the list is seemingly endless, or can seem that way or can..........
NOT EXIST AT ALL?
yes
How do we manage this? How do we go about our daily life, CONTINUE CONSISTENTLY AND POSITIVELY ON OUR LIFE PATH, free from negativity and harsh situations?
Ask your Angels to put up that umbrella for you. Ask your Angels to surround you in a circle of white Light. Specifically Archangel Michael - one of his chief roles is to protect you in all ways from all things that might adversely affect you emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually. So just ask him to surround you in his protective bubble of Light.
Sound easy? It is. very.
The ONLY trick is - you have to do it vigilantly (preferable daily, sometimes more than once a day and especially when you are around or are going into a situation or environment where the energy might be 'challenging' (nicest word I could think of ! haha!!)
oh, AND you have to BELIEVE.
yup, that's pretty much it.
ASK and BELIEVE and be VIGILANT with both.
good
GREAT.
EnJOY your walk today ... along your Path .... completely protected ...
Shine out at me! I'm in the bubble beside you!! ;)

You are safe

2012-02-23T15:46:00.000-08:00

A very strong, gentle and yet persistent message from our Angels tonight - You are safe.
They are with you all the time. There are MORE Angels around you just when you feel there are NO Angels around you.
Just when you feel like there is never going to be an end to the feelings of despair, hopelessness, frustration, hurt, aloneness.......there is. and there they are.
Feel that hand on your shoulder? The warmth on one side of your body? a brush on your cheek? see a spark dart in the air in your peripheral vision? find a penny? a dime?
These are all ways in which our Angels race around trying to give us our own personal signs and symbols that THEY ARE HERE. WITH YOU. "Hello???? We are here!!!"
When times get tough, tense, dicey etc. envision your Self as a spectator of your own Life Path. Allow your Angels to guide you, to 'set the scene' for you so you are able to be at your best, for your Self and others. Stop trying to stay 'one step ahead of the game', stop planning every single second, stop reliving in the past and START LETTING YOUR ANGELS BRING THE VERY BEST OF SITUATIONS TO YOU. GET OUT OF THEIR WAY TO BRING YOU WHAT YOU NEED.
And listen to their guidance. When they are urging you to rest, rest.....play? ....play......work? work!!! :)
Follow their lead and KNOW that they are working overtime to make sure you and your loved ones are safe and provided for.
Say thank you to your Angels today as you assure them that you KNOW they are there for you and you FEEL their presence.
Let them Shine on you today.
You deserve it.
:)

RE-READ that.

when you are ready....you KNOW you are ready .... and your Angels KNOW it too.

Keep shining

BE THE VOICE!

2012-02-20T08:15:00.001-08:00

A song is playing and playing and playing in my head this morning - I know I am supposed to share it with you all, remind you of a great song- (Thank you Barry Manilow) but also to share its MESSAGE!! 'our loud and proud' today..... (read the lyrics, slow down, BREATHE, and READ, UNDERSTAND AND FEEL these lyrics....) *i.e. you will not even be SLIGHTLY interested in this unless you are ALREADY somewhat of a VOICE .... :) * so, read on if this APPLIES to YOU!! ....

Just one voice singing in the darkness
All it takes is one voice
Singing so they hear what's on your mind
And when you look around you'll find
There's more than one voice singing in the darkness
Joining with that one voice
Each and every note another octave
Hands are joined and fears unlocked

If only one voice would start it on it's own
We need just one voice facing the unknown
And then that one voice would never be alone
It takes that one voice

Just one voice singing in the darkness
All it takes is one voice
Shout it out and let it ring
Just one voice
It takes that one voice
And every one will sing

BE THE VOICE people!
and make sure you are SHINING while you SING it out there!!
Feel me shining out at you all and sharing Angel Blessings while I do so :)
Enjoy the day.

2012-02-16T20:08:00.000-08:00

You bet! THAT is what it is all about. and THIS is coming from your Angels, my Angels, our Angels. Find the WIN.
Grey skies, tumultuous skies, overactive weather prognosis in general and we are LIMITING this weather forecast to our RELATIONSHIP STATUS. (family, romantic, business - it's ALL THE SAME - this is HOW we relate!!!) so.....

SHIFT please.

Blue skies, USEFUL and BALANCED conversation and communication, looks like nothing but SUNNY DAYS in the 5 day forecast..... oh yeah..... :)

We have just FOUND THE WIN.

not hard. open your heart, listen, learn, feel with compassion 'the other side'. (easy stuff)

SPEAK YOUR TRUTH.
YOUR truth.
SPEAK IT. (not so easy)
:)
haha!! (even and sometimes ESPECIALLY when spoken to SELF)
seriously.

right, so we have some learning to do. Speak the truth, EXPECT SAME BACK and in so doing.......
MAGIC.

win win ....... winwinwinwinwin (domino effect)
life does not get better.

so hands together, voices at premium :)
LET'S DO THIS!!!
Shine on people.

Reach out to your inner child......

2012-02-15T06:05:00.000-08:00

What IS IT that you do exactly to get past the FORMALITY of each day, the seriousness (is that a word? regardless, your Angels are USING it!! haha!) of each day, the task-oriented part of each day, the RESPONSIBLE part of each day, the 'how do I figure this out?' part of each day......
What exactly is the way in which you do this? How do you get to the 'fun' part, the 'relax' part, the 'sheer joy' part of each day.....?
Do you? Do you ever GET THERE? When was the last time you were there.........
If you are having trouble remembering.....then your Angel Team is speaking to YOU.

Seriously (or actually, OPPOSITE of seriously here) we are talking about your inner child. This is the part of you that ALWAYS lives in present moment (does not need to be reminded) ALWAYS laughs, giggles, smiles at the most mundane, feels like picking up a rock at the lake and seeing how many times it will 'skip' across the surface and then picks up another and another and .... before you know it an hour has gone by...... lays down on the grass and feels the wind tickling your toes and cheeks, blowing your hair.....sits and stares out the window and lets the mind wander and wander enjoying the trip .....sits on a swing at the park and taking it higher and higher and then leaning back seeing the world upside down as your swing gently rocks you back and forth, you giggling inside at the 'butterflies' this creates inside you......suddenly you are 10 years old again and it feels.....WONDERFUL. This inner child is celebrating the moment, each moment, slowing down and savouring each and every moment.

Reach out to your inner child with Archangel Jophiel as she helps us to reduce the mental, emotional clutter in order to be able to slow down and reconnect with our Selves. Feel your Inner Child become a part of your day (again) and as you do so, acknowledge, notice and appreciate this inner child as he/she starts to come forward more and more often.
EnJOY the day - look for and FIND opportunites to laugh and giggle - tell a joke - SHARE THE MAGIC!!!
Shine on all

That's right! Forget all the cards, dinners out, candles lit, presents, gifts, flowers and vases, whispers and glances, secret phone calls, etcetcetc.
DIAL BACK PEOPLE and let's get back to basics! :) LOVE YOURSELF. FEEL THE LOVE. WARM TO THE GLOW. Every single relationship outwardly begins with the zest, zeal and warm compassion you hold most dearly for......your Self.
Love your Self.

I love me.
EnJOY today - enJOY every day loving your Self - remembering EVERYTHING spins out from this.

Healing with Archangel Raphael

2012-02-12T06:32:00.000-08:00

Feeling a little 'off'? Having a bad day? ... maybe it's more than that - maybe emotionally you are completely overwhemed....just going through a transition time at the end of a relationship (*remember, someone even better for you is on the way - courtesy of your Angels :) even knowing that is well and good but for right now...you are hurting - I understand that. Physically perhaps you have an ailment, sickness, flu, cold, broken bone, maybe something more serious......
Regardless of what type of healing you are looking for....Archangel Raphael can be called to your side...by you, at any time, any place and for any reason. Just ask him. He is the "Healing Archangel" and is known for surrounding anyone who needs it in his circle of healing green energy and light. Let him 'do the work' for you and assist you in this healing process.
Imagine yourself in the clearing and his green healing energy is streaming down for you. Sit comfortably in a chair and close your eyes, breathing deeply feeling the warmth of his energy on top of your head, on your shoulders, shining on your face just like sitting outside in the clearing, feeling the warmth all around you ....and focusing on your breath, you breathe all the way in and the exhale all the way out. Picturing as you do so that Archangel Raphaels healing light is surrounding you and at the same time with every deep breath in, green energy flowing up through your feet, from your toes up to your Crown chakra and with every breath out, the healing energy is flowing back down through your spirit, taking any impurities, blockages, negative energy and sickness along with it. Every breath in, green energy flowing strongly up and through you filling you with healing energy and like a river flowing back down and with every breath out, taking the pain, emotional heaviness, hurt and sickness with it. Stay with this breath and with this energy for as long as you feel is right for you, continuing to breathe in fully and then out. When you are ready, bring your breathing and your awareness back to where you are, continuing to feel Archangel Raphael by your side and all around you. Now you are free to carry on with your day in any way and his healing energy will be surrounding you as you do so.

Archangel Raphael can be called to your side at any time, simply by asking and/or partnering this request by taking 3 deep breaths, inhaling fully and then exhaling right down to your toes, at any point in your day. In a tricky situation? (3 deep breaths=circle of green healing energy) something painful going on at present time? spiritually, emotionally, physically? (3 deep breaths=circle of green healing energy) feeling anxious/fearful/worried for yourself or someone else? (3 deep breaths=circle of green healing energy)
What's that? Can you send green healing energy to someone or something else? SURE! how? same way! Whether you are with that person or at the situation or whether they are halfway around the world - 3 deep breaths=green healing energy surrounding you and then visualizing the same green healing energy around the person, place or situation you would like to send to.
Thank you Archangel Raphael.
Keep shining on all of us.

WHAT are YOU SHOUTING??

2012-02-02T22:25:00.000-08:00

Are you shouting at the top of your lungs?? (don't need to? have a bullhorn? a microphone? GOOD FOR YOU!!) errrrrrr....
but what is it exactly that you are shouting?

ARE YOU YOUR OWN CHEERLEADER??
if you are - then the original comment remains - GOOD FOR YOU.
*if you are NOT your own cheerleader...if you think you might be taking the high road by NOT being your own cheerleader.....if you have mistaken being your own cheerleader with being conceited (there is a HUGE difference!!) ..... if you think it makes you more APPROACHABLE or LIKEABLE to put your Self 'down' or stand in the corner as 'faithful observer' and not let your inner cheerleader take a stand for you.....then.....

take a moment and HEAR THIS!!!! (she shouted, bullhorn firmly in hand..)

firstly, go get a ladder - climb it - (top step) smile to the crowd, PAT yourself on the back and then shout out loud "GOOD FOR ME".
Visualize this performance in your mind first thing upon awakening, multiple times through the day and OF COURSE last thing before sleep....very powerful and VERY helpful.....

you know that old saying that goes something like 'if you don't cheer for yourself, no one else will either'.....blahblahblah.....
well, that is absolutely
NOT TRUE.

Other people absolutely WILL cheer for you.
yay!! so great!! THANK YOU!
and what are you doing while you are listening to them?
AGREEING WITH THEM? you should be.
THANKING THEM? you will be.
SHOWERING THEM WITH GRATITUDE. of course, it is what you are best at.
CHEERING THEM ON WHILE THEY PURSUE THEIR STRENGTHS AND PASSIONS? yes.
YES!!
great.
so we have a full circle then after all.
SO GOOD.
Keep shining all.
and KEEP CHEERING :)

Take a load off......

2012-01-30T19:21:00.000-08:00

As defined in www.yourdictionary.com "Take a load off" means to "Sit down, relax, as in I wish you'd take some time and take the load off. A shortening of take the load off one's feet, this colloquial phrase dates from about 1940.

Yes. I hear that. I hear that and I GET that. So does this guy. This big guy has also got the picture. The big picture. Taking a load off, sitting quietly in solitude, gazing at the breaking dawn, focusing on.....nothing? your breath? dozing off? gratitude? yes!! YES!!! all of it ....and none of it.

just - pause. Take a load off. mentally. physically. and CERTAINLY emotionally.

15 minutes can mean the world to your ability to rejuvenate and replenish your SELF on all levels.

Engaging in personal meditation, group meditation, chakra balancing techniques, Self Reiki are all experienced methods in 'taking a load off' - stripping away of life's mental, physical, emotional and spiritual clutter. Try it. Enjoy it. FEEL it and let it carry you away to ..... your SELF.

Beautiful.

Keep shining!

Feel FREE to 'BREAK THE LINE'!!

2012-01-24T07:15:00.000-08:00

Break away! Be free! Follow your intuition! Stay? Go?
Bottom line is....there is sometimes just as much to be gained from 'staying in the line up' as there is to .... breaking away - at a gallop!
Some days when you are standing in the lineup, the way forward seems slow and tedious - though predictable and not even a little bit uncomfortable or scary....WHY? because you are with the group. you are THE SAME. you take one on the chin? the group takes one on the chin. all good. ...sometimes.

Some days you wake up and you go to take your place in the lineup and.....THE LINEUP IS GONE! wha?! where did the?!?
This is the type of scenario that your Angels will place in front of you if you have had difficulty breaking free from the lineup previously. You see, EVEN IF you are in the lineup day after day, week after week, it is SO IMPORTANT to break the line, cut the line, TAKE OFF for a little while to go where you intuition is calling you (Your Angel team will also inspire you with ideas, inspirations for said 'breaks' and/or tempt you with different groups of friends, associates, learning environments, weekend getaways etc ....LISTEN AND ACT WHEN THEY GIVE YOU THESE TIPS!!! Chances are....you NEED to break the line!)
When you get used to 'breaking the line' now and then - your days become more interesting, you feel invigorated, challenged, infused with your own sense of direct communication with your Angels and guides....they are ALWAYS looking out for YOU and finding areas for you where you are able to GROW, RECHARGE and BE INSPIRED.
So, yes! EnJOY the lineup AND enJOY turning 90 degrees and 'breaking the line' whenever you hear your intuition directing you :)
Shine on!

Stand tall

2012-01-23T13:22:00.000-08:00

Hold your head up and look out at the vista surrounding you. Keep your chin high as you lift your eyes even higher and focus on your dreams and ideals. Visualize your dreams and goals aligning with you on your path. Keep your gaze fixed and focused forward as sometimes it may seem like everything around you is teetering precariously like a house of cards.....but it's not. Nothing is teetering, nothing is wavering...not even your gaze....not even your dreams....and not even your ability to get to where you would like to go.
Eyes steady as you fearlessly, steadily and confidently move to the direction of your dreams.
Shine on.

Stop WHINING!! and just do it!!

2012-01-20T03:31:00.000-08:00

"Do one thing a day that scares you"

SO TRUE!! and thank you Eleanor Roosevelt as I quote you (yet again! Her words are so inspiring).
To get to where you truly want to get to in your heart, on your path - emotionally, physically, spiritually, sometimes financially, personally.......you MUST TAKE THAT LEAP OF FAITH and GET OUT THERE and do something, go somewhere, say something, take action in an area where you are being called to do, be, go.
SO GO!
you don't want to?
SO WHAT?! stop whining and go anyway!!
haha!
no really - get going.
Sometimes you get to a point on your path where the road looks kind of frightening, daunting or maybe just a little uncomfortable.....but the point is - THAT IS the way forward.
Once you are on your path, you can't go back...you just can't - that is NEVER the way it works. So if you choose to turn away from the bumpy bits then ....you are NOT going forward, and since you CAN'T go back......you are simply STUCK.....standing there staring at what you could, should, would be doing if you had the gumption, courage, FAITH to move forward ....every day.
SO GO!! Take a chance and feel the power within yourself as you CELEBRATE YOUR WIN! Your step out of your comfort zone and into THE MAGIC!!
See you there! Shine a little of your magic my way :)

Reiki Share

2012-01-19T11:29:00.000-08:00

Hello!! We are hosting Reiki Share evenings every 3rd Wednesday of each month at the Clarity Centre - suggested donation $20 to go to a charity announced that evening. Please join our new Meetup page at Oakville Reiki Share for more information and to register.
Thanks and I look forward to connecting with you all!

Which of these colours are you????

2012-01-15T07:58:00.000-08:00

Colour is enlivening, tells a story, brings out different emotions, shores us up, and on the other hand can sometimes make us feel uncomfortable....energizes, calms, fires us up etcetcetc.

We all are drawn to our own set of colours for our wardrobing, decorating, advertising you are drawn to etc. as certain colours draw your own personal attention. The particular colour can change from day to day, hour to hour, moment by moment - as your personal emotions, situation, relationships change.....so does your connection with different colours as each part of your emotional and spiritual body reacts and acts within different circumstances - you are using each part of your internal energy system to do so.....and part of your internal energy system are your Chakras....the energy centres within your body that keep your own internal energy, your prana, your chi......moving at maximum capacity and benefit to your physical, emotional and spiritual body.

I am always drawn to yellow ..... that is the colour of the Solar Plexus chakra and as long as I can remember I have always drawn the colour yellow (great BIG YELLOW sun on my doodle pages at school) thought of the colour yellow, wished for and visualized often a great big yellow truck, been drawn to bright yellow cushions and towels to spruce up a decorating scheme....

The Solar Plexus chakra represents sense of self, ego, self esteem, willpower, and ability to get things done. When it is open, balanced and clear of blockages this Solar plexus chakra assists us with all of these areas and more. When it is 'glutted' or blocked, problems can arise as well as when it is overloaded, more issues may present themselves with regards to self confidence, forward motion etc. By envisioning (through meditation of light visualization through out the day) the colour yellow, you can put a focus on this chakra and while doing some deep breathing ... you can assist and strengthen this chakra within yourself. For a deeper clearing and balancing of each chakra, a Reiki treatment may benefit you.

For a very brief idea on which colour is associated with each chakra and thereby having a better understanding of which of these colours you are drawn to and an inkling as to the 'why'..... please see below,

Root chakra - red foundation, security

Sacral chakra - orange creativity, freedom

Solar plexus chakra - yellow self confidence, self esteem

Heart chakra - green ability to give and receive love, self and others

Throat chakra - blue speak your truth, self and others

Third eye Chakra - purple ability to see the truth, use imagination

Crown Chakra - white spirituality, connection to Higher Source

An indepth study of each chakra, and much more can be gained during a Usui Reiki Level I course.

2012 - the year to GET REAL

2012-01-13T09:42:00.000-08:00

So this is it - this is the year. Sure, other years have been about other things - maybe losing weight, maybe getting that promotion, maybe ordering up that renovation, maybe trying to be in the 'popular group', finally taking that course you have wanted to for awhile, find the relationship you have always dreamed of hopefully with 'the one', plan that dream vacation, get a permanent postition at a job of your choice, plan more free time.....and on and on and on....
This year truly has the potential to be 'the end of the world as we know it....and I feel fine' (thank you R.E.M.) except the type of 'end' we are talking about is having the ability to put an end to any and all pretenses ...... AND! We all have the power to feel MORE than fine, better than fine.....fantastic in fact, better than ever. We all have and hold the POTENTIAL for this to be true.....will you meet the challenge?

Turns out, not much of a challenge actually and more of a PERSPECTIVE CHANGE. This challenge does not require any muscle or mental stamina, hours of studying and documenting, striving against the odds to make it to the finish line........ahhhhhhhh, no.
This 'challenge' is all about opening up and tweaking your perspective of who you are - more importantly who you THINK you are.... to your Self, to others, for others, in front of others vs. in front of Self, how you communicate, demonstrate your talents and strengths, show your weakness, how you present your Self (to others and to your Self) etc.
Is it really YOU?
Dial back a little while, a long while, minutes, days, years, decades, a few decades (ha! dating myself!!)......how does THAT you measure up to TODAY'S you? does one recognize the other? have you completely morphed? Is there a way to 'keep the good points' and 'drop some other points' that may not be working for you as well as you had hoped??'
Time to GET REAL folks. BE YOU. period. Be polished you, confident you, happy you, sad you, frustrated you, worried you, celebratory you, awkward you, stick-your-foot-in-your-mouth you (but have the best intentions you!!) -almost like awkward you but sometimes this bears mentioning twice! ESPECIALLY when we are first getting comfortable putting REAL US out there ....YES! there are going to be some 'cringe faces' (usually done to Self) but DON'T put your Self back in the closet yet!! KEEP GOING!
BE YOU!
and be proud of ALL OF YOU that you put out there. You are being YOU honestly, clearly, cleanly and living with the best of intentions for all you encounter and are able to shine your 'best you' forward.
CELEBRATE THAT! and feel the simple and energizing energy that comes along with it!
EnJOY your GET REAL YEAR.
Thank you for taking time to share with the REAL ME and I thank you for sharing the REAL YOU.
Shine on.

Savour the sparkle

2012-01-12T09:48:00.000-08:00

Savour the sparkle. Indulge yourself in wonder. Allow your Self to be awed by the beauty around you. Stare openly at marvellous happenings. Drink in the miraculous ways in which we are shown we are all connected. Allow the wave of acceptance to wash over you as you allow your Self to be shown different ways, better ways, more simple ways.....of 'be'ing. Slow down and savour the sparkle. See it and FEEL it in the conversations around you. Show it in the smile you give, a shared comment, a mutual giggle....at 'nothing'. A feeling of belonging, of comradery, of partnership and friendship with mutual benefit .... feel the glow. See it, feel it, be it - be the sparkle. Be it for someone else. Be it for your Self. and savour it.
Shine on my friends. :)

Believe.....why not??!

It is better to believe than to disbelieve;

in so doing, you bring everything to the realm of possibility.

(Albert Einstein)

Hold on tight to your dreams....

2012-01-05T12:24:00.000-08:00

Man, I love that song! and I woke up with it playing in my head this morning and it's been on a 'loop' all day....so naturally, the message comes with it and here it is!....

If you have a dream....then it is yours to hold on to. Don't let it go. Don't let it fade away. Hold it up there and out there for everyone to see! (especially you - YOU have to be able to see and feel and examine and appreciate and get accustomed to your dream being a daily part of YOU) It is real. It is palpable.

Do you remember a dream you used to have...YEARS AGO!! DECADES back....well, start clearing away the rubble, reach way down and RESURRECT that dream! It IS YOURS and you have every right to it. Once it is dusted it off, you will find that you have every bit the connection to it that you had before....dialling back through the years - this dream rekindles the spark and fire within you that you have not seen or felt for a long while....this dream is worth holding on to - hold on tight.

This dream....

Has it happened yet? no. Are there steps that have led you closer to it? maybe. Will there be more steps shown to you that will lead you even closer?

ONLY IF YOU ALLOW YOUR SELF TO SEE, FEEL AND HOLD ON TIGHT TO YOUR DREAM every day. It IS a part of you. Your dream was placed within you for a reason. Your Angel Team have given you this dream and they will give you the steps, opportunities, 'chance encounters' that will lead you closer to achieving it.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO KNOW 'the how'!!! (HOW will I achieve this? HOW will I ever be able to raise enough money/influence/talent/confidence to GET there? WHAT IS MY PLAN?)

no.

no plan.

just believe.

Believe that your dream was given to you

for a reason

and your plan????

is to BELIEVE in it.

is to BELIEVE in you.

HOLD on tight to your dreams.

Thank you E.L.O.

and thank you Angels....

I believe I will.

Be your Self....always.

2012-01-02T05:28:00.000-08:00

Allow your Self to simply be. your Self.
So simple and so 'free-ing' is this state of mind as you allow your Self to shine. Any petty annoyances, irritations, ego-challenges (real or imagined!!) can be simply swept away as you remind your Self that you are simply you.
YOU.
and this YOU is doing the best that YOU can do.
Regardless of external factors - the internal is the constant
- the internal weather forecast is calm, peace and strength all rolled together.
Be your Self.
and keep shining it out there!!! :)

Divine Guidance from our Angels

2011-12-30T04:47:00.000-08:00

Each stone on our Path may only be taken one step at a time however if followed in Faith and Belief of Divine Guidance, the actual journey far supasses in expectation and satisfaction, the destination.

It's nearly 2012 :) ANSWER THE DOOR!!

2011-12-29T06:23:00.000-08:00

How many times have you heard that call through the house "ANSWER THE DOOR!!!"
The doorbell is ringing, has rung, there is a persistent knock at the door and (as you are geographically farthest from the door) you wait patiently (somewhat) to hear footsteps from said roommate/husband/wife/kids as someone else goes to answer the door.....nothing. and so you 'direct' them "ANSWER THE DOOR"!!
wow. SO MANY analogies here as our Angels are directing us at this moment of the upcoming New Year - this brilliant beginning to 2012!
Here's the thing...
the DOOR has always been there and periodically we all have heard someone on the other side knocking and knocking (sometimes fist banging!) for us to open the door. Take the first step. OPEN THE DOOR A CRACK AND JUST SEE.......get an idea for what is possible.
I had a dream a long time ago where I was standing on my front lawn and there was an enormous stone wall with a door in the middle. I approached the wall and the door all the while looking at the magnitude of the virtual fortress that had appeared before me. I levelled my gaze and stood staring at the door - it was calling to me to open it ..... I looked down and noticed the key was already in the door, the key had already been turned and light was pouring around the keyhole....I was nearly there! I put my hand on the doorknob and turned it expectantly and as I did so.......the key fell out of the lock into my hand and the ENTIRE stone wall started to crumble and let go and as I looked up I saw the wall caving in ..... what did I do???? Well, I panicked and fumbling and fumbling around I managed to get the key the right side up and stick it BACK IN THE LOCK and the wall?...... 'righted itself'. Each stone back in place, higher and stronger than ever. The light around the keyhole was gone. The door firmly shut. And I??......BREATHED A SIGH OF RELIEF. I was safely back in my front yard staring at a stone wall that, while it called to me now and then, I would never know what was on the other side. Maybe something better. Probably something better. However, it would take a bit of an 'upset' to get there. I was just not willing to do that.
yet.
That was my dream years and years ago as I was growing up. I have never forgotten it because even though I was very young - it left me with the feeling of 'I blew it'. I messed up. I had a real opportunity there within my grasp however ..... phew! I was able to turn my back on it and now find myself back where I started - 'safe in my rut'??? (wow. brutal)
Never mind, the cool thing is - this dream got me ready, REALLY READY for 'the door' to knock in my 'real life', my waking life.
NOW - When my door knocks, I answer it!
If my whole family/friends/work associates all hear the same knock and all get to the door at the same time?.....BEAUTIFUL!! synchronicity in action!! all the better!
Sometimes, learning the lesson of 'not answering' is a timely and appropriate one. If you have not answered the door in the past and you KNOW in your heart that you were meant to...and still did not.....THAT'S OK!
Your Angels put that lesson there for you so you could assess HOW that made you FEEL and as you tuck that experience in your portfolio, you will be able to apply those feelings to your reaction when there is ANOTHER KNOCK AT THE DOOR.
Because there will be.
another knock at the door.
and when you hear it?
you will be READY TO ANSWER.
Welcome 2012 knocking at your door - you are ready.
Shining from my door to yours :)

The KEY TO SUCCESS?? set your BOUNDARIES!!

2011-12-25T21:01:00.000-08:00

you got it. set those boundaries. DRAW THAT LINE IN THE SAND. there it is. done.
didn't hurt you to do it. and GUESS WHAT??!! (much to your chagrine...!!) didn't hurt ANYONE ELSE for you to do it either.
period.
I know, I know.....you had drummed up ALL these scenarios in your head about "why you couldn't NOT do this" or about "why you just HAD TO do that" because IF YOU DIDN'T.......blahblahblah....bottom line is you felt if you didn't hold up your end (AGAIN!) then 'the world would stop'.
maybe that's what you felt. maybe that's what has been IMPLIED in your direction for numerous years. maybe that is what you felt, or WHAT WAS UNDERSTOOD, by all!! (including your Self) for years.
and...maybe that is what you have FLAT OUT been told.
fine
fair enough.
got it.
(maybe that is what you have told YOUR SELF)
!
huh
either way and
ANYWAY.
TODAY we are drawing a line in the sand.
see in the picture....?
see how EVEN AFTER we have drawn a line in the sand there is STILL a balance of extra sand on each side??
it's ok.
you can SET YOUR BOUNDARIES.....AND
YOU CAN BE SUCCESSFUL .... AND
STILL have your limits
and STILL give EQUALLY to your SELF and to others
and...
STILL have the line.
DRAW THE LINE and keep to it.
it's all good
and STILL GIVE TO OTHERS
but this time
EQUALLY GIVE TO YOUR SELF
on YOUR side of the line....

shining at you from my side of the line today....
and wishing and sending you ALL KINDS of Angel Blessings!!
Shine on!!

Take your minute!!

2011-12-22T03:33:00.000-08:00

Yup. if you've got a minute - take a minute. Don't have a minute? Take one anyway. (Guess what? EVERYBODY has a minute. You are just kidding your Self if you are telling yourself otherwise)
FEEL THE JOY IN TAKING A MINUTE.

OM on the subway. why not?
eyes closed at the office - deep breath in - deeper breath out.....hold.......shoulders coming down......what's that? your client is asking you what exactly you are doing? haha!! keep going.....you are 'TAKING YOUR MINUTE'!!!
hot tea steaming up your glasses as you rest your favourite mug at your chin, both hands warming on the sides and drift off to your favourite retreat in your minds eye...............
hands resting on the keyboard, your eyes glaze over and your gaze falls down and you 'fuzz over' mentally allowing your Self to rest from the 'busybusy'.....for your minute.....
pulling into the parking spot at the mall, you shut off the car and leaning your head back you allow your hands to rest in your lap, closing your eyes, smiling a little to your Self, you 'give your Self the nod' to take your minute.....

That minute is precious - don't also make it 'rare'. Visit that minute OFTEN and enJOY.
Shine into your minute
and afterwards, SHINE INTO someone else's minute.
:)
Thank you for letting my SHINE into yours.

Establish 'your FLOW'!!

2011-12-20T03:50:00.000-08:00

Flow. Establish your flow. Go with your flow once you have established your flow. Stay in the flow. Feel the power of acting from within the flow. Feel the ease of movement and enJOY the ride - your ride with Flow.

No idea what I am talking about? Well, that could be because you have not received your Angel call yet to 'Establish your flow". and that's ok.....you will. Or maybe yoU have gotten the call, and ignored it. that's ok too....they will call again.
or MAYBE, you know EXACTLY what I am talking about!
You have already felt the joyous ease of establishing and maintaining your flow, have also shown others the grandeur of such state and then ...... jumped OUT of the flow and are now left standing on the sidewalk asking 'why?".
WHY did I do that?
Well, sometimes there is a brighter penny shining at you in the moment and that can falsely lure you out of your flow. (This can happen time and again through your journey if you don't recognize this pattern and call a halt to it :) ignore the penny and STAY IN THE FLOW!)

The fact of the matter is, life is beautiful with an ease of movement one never thought possible - ONCE YOU FIND 'YOUR FLOW'.
so once you find it, stick with it ...... and enJOY!!!!
Shine into your FLOW! :)

QUIET contemplation

2011-12-16T11:11:00.000-08:00

very interesting this being still. Still in the body. Still in the mind. The whole world still working away at peak capacity all around you and yet....here you sit - being still. Honouring your Self by doing so. Taking time to tip your hat to your Spiritual Self and your Divine Source. Feel the connection and warm to it.
Taking time to allow your emotional Self to fully enJOY being in your state of NOW.....and resting. so loose this feeling of letting go - such a relief.
Taking time to feel your physical Self release muscle by muscle, joint by joint, cell by cell coming into a state of 'physical liquidity'.....rejuvenate and renew in this way....taking time and honouring the quiet.
Breathe in the quiet.
Quietly contemplate your state of NOW.
Shining quietly :) .... I SHINE back to you
enJOY

SHARPEN YOUR AXE!

2011-12-14T06:48:00.000-08:00

Once upon a time there were two men who lived in the forest. Each of their houses backed onto the forest in different directions and both men wanted that land cleared for farming. They decided to have a contest. They set down that each would take the entire day to chop down as many trees as they could and whoever finished first, would be declared the winner. And so they began.
The first tree took quite some effort to cut down - for each of the men. Much energy was expended, such great effort! however finally the first tree for each, was down.
The first man thought "Wow, I did not see this as being such a tremendous task - I am going to have to work MUCH HARDER than I originally thought, skip lunch and push through to the end some way some how I'll just have to put my nose to the grindstone and NOT LOOK UP until the work is done" He looked over at the second man and saw that he also was mopping his brow as he was going round the back of his cabin towards the door.
The first man thought "Ha! He is tired already! and needs a break - I will certainly be the victor!" and with that he put his head down, grunting and straining and swinging his axe with all his might felling tree after tree, steadily working his way forward, Yes! he congratulated himself, he was DEFINITELY making some great headway and kept working into the evening.
By dusk, he decided to finish for the day and as he looked with pride - he was a little more than halfway done! Such hard work had he kept himself on task - he could greatly admire his own diligence! Sweating, exhausted and weak from effort and hunger (as he had had to work through his meals) he slowly walked round the front of his cabin and INCREDULOUSLY looked over at his neighbours land!!! COMPLETELY CLEARED! EVERY tree had been cleared, chopped into firewood and neatly stacked against the barn!!
Dragging his beaten, bruised and battered body over to his neighbours, eyes wide he peered in the window to see him sitting in front of a roaring fire enjoying a nice cup of cocoa and singing along to the radio......
he knocked at the door - words stuttering, eyes unbelieving and asked "HOW?....HOW??!! did you manage??"
The second man replied simply "When we first began and found the first tree SO difficult to make headway on - I took quite some time at my back shed to sharpen my axe, after that.....the rest of the tasks took no time at all"

So, take some time today - take a look at your axe and decide if it needs sharpening.....dollars to donuts says it does....
SHARPEN YOUR AXE everyone so you can enjoy YOUR time by the fire!!
Shine it up while you are at it!! :)

I found this prayer blowing down the street today.....

2011-12-09T13:32:00.000-08:00

...yes, really - I saw a piece of paper blowing down the sidewalk and I hurried a little to catch it and do my bit to clean up our community. I wasn't near a trash can at the time so I shoved it in the pocket of my big coat. A little while later, I saw a trash can and pulled it out of my pocket, noticed it had some writing on the other side and turned it over....this is what I found....

"Creator,
We thank you for the gift of laughter.
We thank you for the gift of your Spirit
giving us energy to go out and share with others.
Make our laughter bring healing and joy to us and those we touch.
May we respect and honour your presence in everyone we meet this day.
Amen"

Thank you Angels for this and so many messages you bring to me and to others ALL the time. So grateful. So good. Shine on everyone. :)

Have you "turned down" your 'beautiful'?

2011-12-08T20:11:00.000-08:00

Well have you? why? No big deal but ....

WHY have you?

I get it. Life is busy and sometimes TIME does not ALLOW YOU to look your best. fine.

Walk with me for a moment. You are going out with the girls, you are excited, you feed the kids early, mark the clock for the babysitter and run up to the shower to 'do your hair and makeup', put on THE outfit, and you are READY. :) One last check in the mirror and you FEEL how you look. You feel special. and you LOOK special. but what matters most for you as your eyes twinkle back at you.....you FEEL special. No one needs to tell you this - SELF is telling you this and in your Soul right down to your toes....you KNOW this. so good.

You are going to an important meeting. VERY important meeting and have had the prerequisite haircut, trimmed what needed trimming, brushed the teeth / flossed / mouthwashed / aftershave / cologne / perfume / heels / earrings (what have you - this scenario is gender neutral!! haaha!) regardless, you are READY for the boardroom. good. you take one last look in the mirror and that confirms it - you definitely LOOK how you FEEL.

and you FEEL - Powerful.

BUT

(were you waiting for this 'but' ? cuz I was!! ) we can't do this EVERY DAY! We can't DIAL UP our beautiful, our gorgeous, our powerful, our dazzle EVERY DAY. We don't have TIME.

(did you hear how 'lame' that sounded? cuz I did!!) haha!

of COURSE we can look our best EVERY DAY. yes. our BEST. and we LOOK our best because we FEEL it. inside. where it counts. we FEEL it and we SHOW IT, we SHINE IT out to others and then THEY FEEL it. (does it get better than this?)

Somedays, feeling your best looks like yoga pants, hair tied back and a twinkle in your eye and a smile on your face.

Somedays, feeling your best looks like 'fighting the good fight' on behalf of another who can't go it alone.....(*quick tip - wear your armour and be RESILIENT.)

Somedays, feeling your best looks like posh clothes and full on makeup/cologne - GOT IT!

Somedays, feeling your best means a crisp white STARCHED shirt, dress khakis and your favourite tie

Somedays, feeling your best is your tried and true denims with a cozy long sleeve polo, hot cappuccino and the Saturday paper

Somedays, feeling your best means comfortable clothes and a dash of lipstick (red! why not?!) over coffee with a good friend.

The common denominator here is YOU HAVE TAKEN SOME TIME for your SELF.....to feel special, powerful, dazzling, comfortable, secure and SPECTACULAR.

it's quite simple. you. your SELF deserves that 'time spent'. make SURE you are spending that TIME on your SELF in whatever way makes YOU feel SPECIAL and POWERFUL.

because you are. and I said so.

I am Shining out to you today - be sure to take your own time ..... and SHINE up your Beautiful. :)

Sometimes things get really 'too much'!

2011-12-08T04:01:00.000-08:00

Too much of people, too much of situations, too much of emailing, too much of the phone ringing and requesting your presence or another 'favour', too much of boardroom meetings, too much traffic, too much of too much......

you are full. to the brim. and wherever you look in whatever direction you look in there is more, more, MORE to be done, to do, to see, to speak with, to cross off the list......!!!!!

Look up. Don't look around! Wildly turning in circles looking for the break, the way out! LOOK UP!
Up is where 'the break' is....no more dark obstacles standing in your way forward. Face turned up to the Light shining in through the trees - all of a sudden.....! Yes!! your mind is clear, the brow unfurrows, the lips separate a small bit and start to .... smile? yes :) a small one is DEFINITELY forming!! Gaze intently to the Light as you continue to feel the stressors and to-do's and demands of the day slide off of your physical, emotional and spiritual Self.....keep looking - stay focused....and as you do so....a wonderful thing happens......NOW the Light is STILL above you but ALSO WITHIN you. You have RECEIVED it. By looking up, by stopping the 'whirling' and looking up. nice.

Your own Light within you NOW knows the way clearly and surely through the forest. Your Self is now strongly guided forward and suddenly ....KNOWS the path! and it is not without its obstacles to be sure but with this strength, compassion and confidence in your connection with Source...they are EASIER to step over.
Today - look up! and restore your Light! :)
and then Shine it into your Path!!

Balancing your Chakras? Try Yoga!!!

2011-12-06T04:08:00.000-08:00

Yes it's true! As well as being a calming influence on your mind (always leaving me in a near euphoric state of mind after a beautiful and cleansing yoga session!) AND a great workout for your physical body! (wait, there's more!) AND --- also it is a WONDERFUL way to keep and maintain your own balanced chakras between Reiki sessions. If you go to Yoga classes then you already know what I am talking about but if you are 'green' to this whole experience then it is worth checking it out - see us for Yoga (and Reiki!!) at the The Clarity Centre in Oakville.

Specifically for each of the Chakras, focus on these positions...
Root Chakra              - Mountain, Tree and Corpse pose
Sacral Chakra            - Sun Salutation (my favourite!)
Solar Plexus Chakra - Warrior I, Warrior II and Boat pose
Heart Chakra             - Bridge, Cobra and Child's pose
Throat Chakra           - Jhalandara bandha (chin drop)
Third Eye Chakra      - visualization through meditation
Crown Chakra           - modified headstand

Any of these poses either as part of your Yoga daily session or separately on their own will assist you maintaining these particular Chakras (or all of them!) and when your own Chakras are balanced.....YOU are balanced and your own energy within your physical, emotional and spiritual body is able to replenish, rejuvenate and renew its own power that leaves YOU - ALL OF YOU! - feeling and being YOUR BEST.
So SHINE into your Yoga today!! :)

Divine Magic in the air!

2011-12-04T05:16:00.000-08:00

When I first saw this picture I saw it as 'letting go'. Those are the words that popped into my head - Letting go. The gift of Letting Go. The story that came soon after was describing how we each had our unique and individual type of sparkling Light that came very easily to us - we can shine it inside whenever we like and generally (sometimes only occasionally) we shine that sparkle out to others also - but it is always inside us (as long as we RECOGNIZE the fact that we already HAVE that Light - then it is activated!) and available at any time.
and that is GREAT! and then.....
it is not QUITE enough.
We have it, we use it, we still have it, we use it some more and then THEN something happens. an awakening of sorts, a realization....(and this can happen as a result of a shock that you have had in your physical world which has opened this realization for you or it may have dawned on you suddenly (maybe as a result of a dream) or just inch by inch, day by day this realization has come to you......

In order for your Light to grow .... you have to Let It Go.

Set it free. Get it out there. Uncurl your fingers that are hanging on SO TIGHT to what you know and roll your Light out there.
(If you love something, set it free.....?? YES! EXACTLY LIKE THAT!! haha!)

Here's the thing....
Once you have set it free......KEEP YOUR HAND OUT.
Don't just STAND THERE with your arms at your sides and wonder when you'll be receiving back payment from your gift. Don't cross your arms and tap your foot and wait for said reciprocal gift!!!
There are MANY others before you who have also set their Light free. and many behind you and beside you who are about to do the same.....Keep Your Hand Out.
This hand is a symbolic gesture to others to 'keeping your hand in the ring' - in this case, the 'energy ring'!
This hand will assist others along the way - if they need a hand to hold, or to steady them or to lead the way...yours is ALREADY THERE - no need to ask for help - help is CONSTANTLY being OFFERED!
This hand will show others to also keep their hands out - reaching out to others in its own unique and individual way.
This hand is a CONSTANT REMINDER to your Self and to others that we are not here to do anything alone - there are other hands out all over the world that are both in need of a hand and OFFERING a hand to others.
....Keep YOUR hand out and see, feel and enJOY and be EMPOWERED by all of the beautiful Light that comes shining back to you - so much Light and Love beyond anything you could have ever imagined! Bask in the beauty of that Light!
and feel free to WAVE at me now and then!! :)
Keep shining!

Feeling small?

2011-12-01T06:14:00.000-08:00

and you are....small that is. A very small drop of energy in this vast universe of physical 'things', emotions, and spiritual connections. Nothing brings home this feeling of 'smallness' more clearly than stepping out into the dark night. As you step out the door adjusting your scarf, locking the door, slipping your gloves on and as you see your way down the stairs, stepping down the driveway and onto the sidewalk a little bit farther away from the house lights now, the glaring glow of the lights over the garage......moving farther into the night you glance up......and stop, still in your tracks - mouth open a little, eyes wide and shining as you scan and notice and scan some more.....wow.

Those STARS! shining down on you, some brighter, some flickering, some joined together, some all on their own, some dancing, some holding steady....a symphony of energy playing for you, for your benefit.

They do it every night whether you are there with your face turned towards them to enJOY the show .... or not.

EVERY single night - they are a study in perseverance, persistence and vigilance. Shining constantly, regardless of audience or attention - each shining in their own unique and special way, working together and working individually - the show is intense, amazing and SPECTACULAR.

EVERY night!

and so it is here, on this planet - (and THIS is where the FEELING SMALL part FADES AWAY!!)

Envision all of our light filled souls shining out together and separately, joined and separate, flickering and dancing and persistently ensuring that each single day and night we are radiating our own special and unique kind of Light out to the Universe in whatever way we can.

SHINE in whatever way makes YOUR 'uniqueness' radiate out to your World today!

BE persistent and

BE SPECTACULAR!

TRUST your Angel signs & symbols!

2011-11-30T07:09:00.000-08:00

So what is it for you?
Your sign, your symbol or type of message that you 'connect' with?
I think every single person on this planet has something in this regard that pulls at their heartstrings and reminds them of a single moment or a time shared - a symbol that whenever you see it or feel it or hear it you are reminded to be in the present moment, to really BE in that moment and also to FEEL supported in time - a message that when heard or felt or seen is a gentle reminder that you are NOT doing this alone, you have help, you have support, you are being thought of at this moment and your hand is being held, an arm around your shoulder.
After you see, hear, feel this signal you feel surprised then an understanding comes over you and then gratitude and also sometimes, relief. I am not forgotten, I do have help, I am still connected.
This connective feeling might be a deep understanding of being led by your guides or by your Angels or maybe it is a signal that you feel a loved one has left for you to let you know that they are still with you in Spirit.
For me, it is dimes. I find dimes and lately over the past year or so I also find pennies. Actually, growing up I ALWAYS found pennies (and have the collection to prove it) but then around 5 years ago it switched to dimes and NOW when I see a dime I look around for the penny .... and it usually isn't too far, a few inches maybe a foot away :) It makes me giggle and a sense of strength comes over me also as I do the 'inner wink' at my Angels. I also 'get the nod' when I see a rainbow, sun rays, lights flickering, certain flocks of birds (I think they are swallows) etcetcetc.

TRUST IN YOUR SIGNAL. If your intuition, gut feel, instinct is telling you that this is a message or a sign from a loved one/your Angels/your guides....know KNOW that this is indeed the case....and accept the gift as your CLEAR INDICATION that you are supported, loved and cared for on your Journey moment by moment.
Keep shining YOUR Angel Light brightly today :)

"Dismiss what insults your soul" - LOVE it!

2011-11-29T08:02:00.000-08:00

I love this message of Walt Whitmans :) When I came across this jewel....I instantly started my standing ovation inside my head!! (hear! hear! Bravo!!! and the like)
and OF COURSE this is SO true! Not to say that we are to DISMISS everything for sure. SO much of what we are told, shared with, discussed with, what we absorb through osmosis in the informational overload of 'stuff' that surrounds us (if we let it) on any given day is so true and helps us along our Path exponentially.....and then there is 'the other stuff'....

There is 'stuff' that people say, infer, body language, describe, argue, defend, insult etcetcetc that absolutely stops us in our tracks. period.
Other stuff is not so 'in your face' - the subtle 'stuff' that is either spoken or just happens - that I call the 'side door slam'. You are ticking along quite well through the day then come into contact with a person, persons, or situation that is interesting and a little 'different' and then you move on....you feel fine for the most part but some of the situation is 'sticking' to you, you are rerunning the conversation again and again on a loop in your head as you continue on your day (some of this is done subconsciously) until you realize with CLARITY....HEY! what this person(s) said/didn't say/inferred was very HURTFUL to me! and THAT'S why I am having problems moving past it!! (side door slam!! in action)
It's very difficult, if not impossible to move PAST hurtful situations until we acknowledge that YES! that was hurtful. period.
Acknowledge it. SEE and FEEL that situation as having taken its toll on your spirit.
and then ..... take a deep breath in?.....and...
DISMISS IT.
yes, send it packing. Visualize that hurtful emotion as packing its bags, (buy it a train ticket if you have to and drive it to the station!!) and SEND IT ON ITS WAY.
It was NEVER meant to live with you anyway. Just because someone else said it or did it.....you made a meal for it and fixed up the spare room???!!!
NO!!
Just because someone said it does NOT MAKE IT TRUE. It just means that someone said it or did it or didn't do it.....that IS ALL. and so.....
dismiss it.
Don't be afraid to "Re-examine all you have been told" Go back, take a good hard look at what you have been told :) and FEEL FREE to KEEP WHAT HELPS AND SUPPORTS YOU and "DISMISS WHAT INSULTS YOUR SOUL".
and then you can SHINE even brighter!!!

I am.....

2011-11-28T08:15:00.000-08:00

what? what! WHAT ARE YOU? you don't know, you are not sure, you can't decide, so many choices really and then...not many choices at all.....what you feel? drrrr.....you CAN'T quite put your finger on the EXACT feeling...is there a word for it? well, really it's just that you don't want to commit to any one thing because if you say you are one thing and then things change......then you won't be THAT thing anymore you'll be something else again....and things are ALWAYS changing aren't they really, so you see the quandry.....

or ARE they always changing. ARE you always changing. or ARE you pretty much the same. pretty numb? pretty glum? pretty 'stuck in that rut'? pretty 'shut down' (maybe with brief moments of 'AWAKE' but otherwise plodding along on the treadmill?

Well, today ...

YOU ARE JOY.

We will not leave it up to you and you alone then - the 'team' decision for today is that WE ARE JOY. This is so easy to be. and there are so many kinds of joy. Go ahead, you can simply decide in your head and your heart that you want to play, you want to join the team....c'mon, join the team!! There are no tryouts, practise time is 'all the time' and 'game time' is all the time also!! We need more players and we promise that EVERY BODY gets equal playing time!! There are NO benchwarmers on the JOY team - it's FULL GO all the time - Go big or go home!! It's full-on JOY!!

While you are playing, make sure you are also recruiting new players -keeping in mind that some of the players you attempt to recruit might not be ready to play the game yet - THAT'S OK! don't let a non-joiner dim your light! just keep playing. Eventually they'll want to see what it is that is 'shining you up' all the time and be desparate to join...and we'll have their uniform and number at the ready!! Because it's tiring playing the game ALL THE TIME when your players are limited - the team needs more and more and more and more players to also be playing - that way the game is MUCH EASIER to enJOY! The game of JOY! Awesome.

So if you are a 'jump up and down' kind of joyful, a 'I am focused on the task at hand and content that I am allowed to be' joyful, a 'sit on a bench and gaze quietly at the clouds' joyful, a 'help someone across the street' joyful, a 'share a cup of coffee with me?' joyful...........etcetcetc. It's all the same team and we are glad you are on it.

WE ARE JOY. Shine into it :)

Breathing 101

2011-11-26T04:45:00.000-08:00

and YESyesyes....we all breathe - in and out, breath after breath, from our very first second of this journey to our last....it is a natural process and we do it automatically, effortlessly ...... but do we do it WELL? Are we MAXIMIZING the effect of what proper breathing can do FOR us ? Yes, we are exsisting and maintaining but ... are we BREATHING optimally?
Think about it. We practise everything. We learn something new - we practise. Things that we have been doing since our formative years, (speaking, walking, running, relationship building, sports and fitness activities, creative endeavours) WE PRACTISE. Why? because we want to DO IT BETTER. By doing it better, we are growing, learning, there is a sense of accomplishment and a sense of steady growth that keeps us firmly in our foundation while we are here on this Path.
Breathing? we don't practise as much.....until now.
There are all different kinds of breathing - the 'things are melting down around me' DEEP BREATH IN WITH LOUD EXHALE - eyes glaring, nostrils flaring, usually hands over head or out to the sides.....haha!-generally precedes masses amount of action to correct 'said devastation'!! :) but there is also the fearful breathing - when we breathe little 'panting' breaths, the 'normal' breathing punctuated by moments of holding our breath? what is THAT about?! (generally we somewhat realize we are doing this when we are on the computer or working on a project or the like...), or the 'no breathing at all' really - just 'numbness breathing' of shock and/or a grief period...(knowing and REMEMBERING to focus on breath at ALL of these times helps our connection to our Self and makes EVERY situation more manageable and results more effective.)
When we are stressed/focused/apprehensive/'pushed' we breathe with little half breaths, just enough to keep everything working inside but NOT ENOUGH to keep everything FLOWING (if you catch my drift here). Yes, the heart is pumping, the blood is oxygenated, lungs are filling (kind of) and emptying (kind of) but we are only HALF breathing - we are not CONNECTED and therefore are not able to apply all of our resources within our Selves to the task and matter at hand. We are AT BEST working at 50% capacity.
Are you ok with that?
If you were writing an exam and your prof handed back a 50% grade....are you ok with THAT?
If you asked your associate employees to finish a task by the end of the day and at 5pm they were merely finished HALF of it.....is THAT ok?
if you asked your family to spend a Holiday meal with you and cooked enough to feed an army and then only HALF of them showed up.....wow. not cool.
and so it is.
WHEN we breathe fully in through our nose right down to our toes and let it fill us and sit with it for just a moment before breathing out fully letting the shoulders, diaphragm, chest lessen and relax as every last bit is exhaled and then we relax and sit with this for just another moment and then beautifully we allow ourSelves to enjoy another deep breath in appreciating every little bit of energy and relaxation and cleansing that comes along with our ability to tune into this wonderful resource and relaxing and fulfilling process that is available to all of us....
.as we take the time to turn our attention to the IMPORTANCE of this...
.the great need we have intrinsically and energetically to ALLOW this energy to accompany our Spirit and buoy us up in times of joy and gratitude, times of despair and frustration, times of 'just floating along enjoying the moment'.... :)
Breathing properly gives our physical bodies an opportunity to connect with our emotional body and then connect with our Spiritual Self.....3 in one....mindful breathing to connect mind, body and soul.....breathe in.....yes.....breathe out.....SO good!!
Shine into your breathwork today and FEEL CONNECTED :)

What is Reiki?

2011-11-25T07:00:00.000-08:00

I get asked this all the time :) and let me begin by saying that Reiki is one of the most well known and respected healing modalities worldwide and generally I just ASSUME that EVERYONE knows and is aware of the amazing benefit of receiving a Reiki treatment and then taking the next step and learning Reiki themselves so that they are able to do their own Self Reiki healing session and also for others.

Anyway, here it is.....the 'drop in the bucket' explanation of the very powerful healing method - Reiki

Reiki is a generic Japanese word meaning Universal Life Force Energy or spiritually guided life force energy.

REI - pronounced 'ray' is Japanese for universal or spiritual consciousness/wisdom (God consciousness) or a higher dimension of light and the soul; knows the cause of all problems and what to do to heal them.

KI - pronounced 'key' is Japanese for vital life force energy that animates everything: also called Prana, Chi etc.

Reiki is healing energy which automatically goes to the area in your physical body or spirit where healing is most required. Reiki practitioners act as a conduit for Reiki Light by invoking energy through their Crown Chakra, feeling it moving down to their Heart Chakra and allowing the same healing energy to flow through their arms and out of their Palm Chakras to you, the client. Reiki energy ensures that your entire spirit is in alignment by focusing on the elimination of blocks in your physical body and chakras. Your own energy is able to now move freely through your spirit and body. Reiki is totally natural and works on all levels of your life. It can relieve pain, discomfort in the physical sense and ease grief and/or anxiety as well as lack of self confidence and insecurities. Reiki will also will provide healing energy for cancer and other sickness and disease and has been found to be a proven healing modality in many other areas as well.

What are you going to do with YOUR grain of sand??

2011-11-22T02:48:00.000-08:00

Grain by grain, moment by moment, minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day, week by week.......ahhhhhhhhhhh! yes.....WE GET THERE!!

We CANNOT live this hourglass ahead of time. WE CAN NOT. It is impossible. We MUST flip it over and then watch....as grain by grain, minute by minute, moment by moment....etc....the minutes flip by and THEN when sufficient time has passed....it is done. We flip it over again and we watch as grain by grain, moment by moment.....well, you get my drift here.

THE TIMING IS NOT UP TO US. It really really isn't. AND it doesn't matter how much money we make (or don't make), it doesn't matter how many friends we have (or don't have) it doesn't matter what kind of house we have (or don't have) or what kind or car we drive (or hey!! don't drive!!) haha!!

THE TIMING -Divine timing - IS NOT UP TO US.

frustrating? YES. but at the same time....very levelling. and balancing. and a GREAT RELIEF in a way. This truly is NOT a race. This truly is NOT a contest.

Our ONLY way to 'win' is to REVEL IN THE MOMENT and whatever that may bring us. So!! what are you going to do today with YOUR grain of sand?

I, my Self? and going to enJOY THE HECK OUT OF IT!!

Live in the NOW with me people and be the very BEST YOU you know how to be - THIS VERY MINUTE. Believe me, nothing matters more.

SHINE into this moment with me!

Can you keep a secret?

2011-11-21T03:28:00.000-08:00

NO! I do not have a BIG SECRET to share with you today....well, not one that I haven't already shared in previous postings and who knows?? maybe I will have groundbreakinginly HUGE SECRETS to divulge tomorrow...time will tell however in the meantime....the question stands.

Well, can you? Many cannot. Actually, most CAN for the MOST PART however they DO tell one or two people....not the masses....just one or two. But what if one of THOSE people are the type that also have a secret?? and what if THAT secret is that.....they can't keep a secret??!! uh oh.

It is a VERY special position to be in - when a friend, acquaintance, complete stranger trusts you enough to take you into their confidence, bring you into their circle and share an opinion, a tough situation, a 'monkey on their back' etc. and YES!!!! We have ALL been that person where we have been betrayed by a close friend (sometimes innocently enough but the betrayal stings just the same) after we have shared with them.

Our Angel Teams encourage us to 'be that Rock' for someone. (Notice I did not say 'be the sponge'....you don't want to 'take on' someone else's problems so that now YOU have their problems and THEY feel better ... there is a way to provide 'safe harbour' for others WITHOUT leaving your Self vulnerable to negativity and despair)

so no.....BE THE ROCK. Someone who is drowning in the water needs a sturdy rock to climb onto - up and out of the waters of confusion and despair. BE THE ROCK. And stay 'being the Rock' for as long as you need to, as long as they need you to be. You can do it. You get a lot back by being that. For the day might come round when you 'need a rock' ....and you know what?? There will be a 'rock' there for you too. :)

so yes! Keep secrets for others (they are not yours to tell), keep a shoulder handy for others to lean on and walk proudly and strongly today as you offer assistance, security and confidence to any who require it.

Shine brightly!

Balance your energy...AND MANIFEST your goals!!!

2011-11-20T05:36:00.000-08:00

There are a thousand, nay a MILLION reasons to spend more time outside. INSIDE, there is always work to be done. People know where to FIND you. (haha!) Phones are ringing, computers are beeping and even JUST the daily static of life going on around you is sometimes completely deafening and confusing. In our quest for clarity, understanding and PEACE, calm, love, light etc......INSIDE can be very challenging and hindering in this manner.
Outside is a different story. and YES! Outside sometimes takes some work to get there (coats, hats, umbrella maybe, WHERE ARE MY SHOES/KEYS/SUNGLASSES????!!!) but it can be very worth it.
Do NOT be an 'excuse maker'. ....too hot, too cold, too windy, too rainy, too snowy, not enough time, will wait and go with husband/friend/kids (go AGAIN later but DO go NOW!), I have nowhere to go, I'll go tomorrow etc. none of that please.
and WHILE it is wonderful to walk along the forest floor with a babbling brook beside you and that should be found and cherished whenever you can....you get the same effect simply STEPPING outside and walking around the block (or a couple of blocks) Even just taking your tea out on the balcony, closing your eyes and letting the breeze, wind, sun, rain 'breeze you off'. !!

Right, so which benefits exactly are to be gained? Being outside has a wonderful balancing effect on our chakras, our energy centres within our body. Any negative or harsh energy that is around any (or all!!) of our chakra points is able to be removed or at least 'watered down' when we step outside and BREATHE in our outdoor air -- feeling all of its purity fill our chakra centres and releasing any impurities that are attached to us. Our own energy/prana/chi is revitalized in this way. (Water has a very similar effect - you know how you feel when you are 'bogged down' and then you jump in the lake, the pool, the hot tub or even just take a shower or bath - it is actually doing more than cleansing our physical bodies but also cleansing and clearing our spiritual and emotional side as well)
Outside also brings us side by side with the Nature Angels. My favourite. - they are my favourite because they are small but mighty! and they are similar to the other Angels and yet different - in that they are a wee bit 'fickle'!!! haha! and make me laugh also! It seems like an oxymoron to call an Angel fickle but they are! They will "do for you" IN ANY AND EVERY WAY as long as (this is where the fickle part comes in) you 'do for them' :)
How do you 'do for them'? Spending time outside, picking up litter outside, filling up a birdfeeder, placing ANOTHER birdfeeder outside, planting and caring for your garden, someone else's garden, looking after your local park, recycling, becoming more and more environmentally AWARE and TAKING ACTION on your newfound information (be a 'do-er! no lip service) Even just your actionable steps each day towards your own personal environment are MORE THAN ENOUGH to catch their attention. And you WANT to catch their attention because all of your actionable steps are like 'paying into an account' with the Nature Angels and they are more than happy to pay it back to you with interest...and they will....and they DO!! HOW? Well, yes the Nature Angels are part of that 'balancing the chakra exercise' also to be sure, also they circle around you PHYSICALLY and pour their good energy into any physical ailment also (picture a NASCAR driver pulling in the pit, he/she is just sitting there in the car while the pit crew goes to work switching tires, fuelling up, topping up oils, tightening this, loosening that etc.....YOU are the driver and the Nature Angels are your pit crew :)
NEVER MIND, they are also CHAMPION MANIFESTORS. NO ONE even comes close to their ability to bring whatever and whichever dream, vision, goal to fruition than them. Work CLOSELY with them to ensure any manifestation you have 'on your books'. and it all hinges on .... stepping outside. :) Go ahead!! Pay into their account while you are there, see how much you can give to them and enJOY the benefits of having the Nature Angels as your 'pit crew'. Be vigilant and be consistent and prove to them that you are able to 'stay the course' with your commitment to them and reap your rewards!
Shine into Nature!

Wow! This is COMPLICATED!!! Really??!

2011-11-19T05:01:00.000-08:00

Dogs and Cats living together!! this is absolute mayhem! "keep your hands in the car at all times" you are NOT going ANYWHERE and at the same time travelling at the speed of sound. DEFIES all reasoning....no other choice except to....

.....enjoy the ride?
okay
why not? here's the thing, you had NO IDEA you were even going to ENTER this ride. no one gave you a ticket. you did not 'call in' at contest time. you did not purchase a seasons pass.
You have NO REASON to be here except.... that you are...here.
with all the 'stuff' that you see around you. no more, no less. with all the support staff that you see and feel around you. no more, no less.
It sometimes feels VERY complicated. IT OFTEN FEELS VERY COMPLICATED.
It's not.
You leave with the very same 'stuff' that you came with. You only have to enJOY THE RIDE!!!
so JOY IT UP.
c'mon.
JOY IT UP. JOY IT UP!!!!!!
....
that's more like it :) I can see (and FEEL!) you smiling!!! keep it up! and SHINE that out there!!! :) It REALLY is that simple people.
you feel JOY and you SHINE that JOY out to others.....THAT IS THE POINT!! THAT IS "THE WHY!!" :)
so good. Thanks for shining.

Where is your Red Wagon?

2011-11-16T17:50:00.000-08:00

Never MIND ...what did you keep in that wagon? WHERE IS THAT WAGON??! Why did we trade it in, give it away, leave it abandoned, walk away, put it in storage........
That wagon never left our sides....and it was so easy!

Anything you aspired to be and thought you might need along your journey....went into the wagon at the start of the day to be reclaimed when the situation deemed appropriate. EASY.

As you went along your Path, anything that looked useful to you and for your purpose?.......was picked up easily and slotted in with the original things you chose for your greatest benefit...into your Red Wagon to be reclaimed when the situation deemed appropriate...you are now CONFIDENT that as you go along you are able to gather any and all that benefits your Life purpose with EASE.

When you hit a roadblock, an obstacle, tough weather, rainy days.....NO PROBLEM! You are able to quickly reach into your Red Wagon and grab a ladder, step stool, rubber boots and/or umbrella....you have prepared, you have whatever you need within your grasp....no matter what you come up against, you need only to turn to 'the Red Wagon'....so EASY.

WHERE IS THAT WAGON?
As children we KNOW intrinsically that we are supported and we are given all the tools we need to rise to any challenge on any level that we need. As children, we are MORE THAN HAPPY to gather our tools at the start of each day and wheel along with our support....happy, confident, carefree and prepared!!
As adults, we feel 'confident' we can do this 'on our own' .... we are 'self sufficient' ....we are 'in control'.....and then reality hits and we realize we .... control absolutely nothing.
(*There is a certain release and freedom that comes from this realization at a later date however at the onset...this is quite disturbing to say the least!)

Support....REAL support....is 'yours for the asking'. (*Angel footnote - once you ask (once) you MUST TRUST that they heard you.....ask and then say THANK YOU FOR HEARING ME AND ASSISTING ME....PLEASE do not ask and ask and ask.....you are NOT in a foreign country with your Angels (where you believe you need to speak louder and slower etc to be understood!! haha!!!! quick travel tip...THAT doesn't work either no matter WHAT corner of the World you are from - my largest following Canada, US and all the followers in Russia!! - nice to see you here! - know this) Your Angels are always on track for you!! But DO ASK and DO BE SPECIFIC and then TRUST!!*)

Here is the 'visual' that MY Angel Team is asking that I share....
Dial back to days where you finished breakfast and then went out and found your Red Wagon wherever you left it the previous day. (It is STILL THERE - even if 'yesterday' was 35 years ago!!) Make no apologies for taking this Red Wagon with you wherever you go. You need it. and you deserve it. PUT IN IT whatever and whichever and WHOEVER you feel you need ..... AND STRIDE CONFIDENTLY DOWN THE STREET....TODAY AND EVERYDAY.

Shine it up People. :)

GET OUT OF THAT BOX!! Learn something NEW!

2011-11-16T04:06:00.000-08:00

Yes it's that time again!! It's that time where 'to-dos' are piling up, tension in the air, brain capacity is stretched to maximum, noise level (mostly the noise INSIDE your head!!) is at a fever pitch and THEN you decide to do just the OPPOSITE of what you normally decide to do or think is a good idea......you ADD ANOTHER ACTIVITY/APPOINTMENT!
However, this addition is different. It's not FOR anyone else, this one is for you. You have MADE the time to sit on your own (in the car, in the park, scrunched down in the laundry room, basket against the door!! wherever!!) quietly for awhile and thought about 'getting away' one evening or one afternoon a week and JUST FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS (this is NOT going to bring about the end of the world as we know it if we are ABSENT from our regular routine for a couple of hours!) to attend or take part in and enjoy a break from 'the norm'.
Now, here's the trick. This particular time we are NOT going to sign up for or on for a class, workshop, lunch date, sporting activity that we would normally do....this is all about getting out of that comfort zone and playing that kids game "Opposite day"!! Learn something new - DO something new - TALK about something new ....

for example, if you haven't played golf in awhile and haven't gotten together to shoot a few with some golfing buddies .....sign up for tennis lessons.   Never played tennis before? or ANY kind of racquet sport? PERFECT!

If you remember last holiday season you had such a blast, never mind a truly relaxing time with friends getting ready for the holidays, scrapbooking, crafting and making your own Holiday cards......take a public speaking course.   Do you have a fear of getting up in front of people? EVEN BETTER! Great choice! Run with it!

Do you normally spend Friday nights relaxing and watching your favourite show (that you record and look forward to all week!) ..... join a running group. Do you not even quicken your step when the phone is ringing let alone go jogging? YOU GOT IT! This is the group for you!

Are you getting me here? You are NOT signing onto this for the rest of your life....This is for the next four weeks. four times.   do it.
you have absolutely ABSOLUTELY nothing to lose.....
Your soul, your Spirit, your level of confidence in Self, your perspective CHANGES AND GROWS each and every time you step out of your 'box'. Don't be timid or shy - It's OKAY to say "I don't know how to do that" "I have never done this before"...In fact, it is the OPPOSITE! It is empowering!! totally (DO NOT say I am not good at that.....HOW WOULD YOU KNOW THAT?? you have not TRIED!)
I am asking you to try - but more importantly your Angel Team is ALWAYS asking you to try....everything and anything. Why? because they want you to GROW forward!!
Sign up for something this week and SHINE brightly on your first try!!

Make it a 'soft' day :)

2011-11-14T17:17:00.000-08:00

This is a great day to let the harshness of reality, the tough decisions of yesterday (and today) slide, the ramifications of said tough decisions, the machine like ticker tape of to-do's SLIDE away, vapourize, disappear over the horizon of your awareness.
Being soft on your Self ensures that you are kind to your Self. The WHOLE WORLD may be buzzing around you with 'these are the headlines this hour' news.....turn it off. Not EVERY day, we don't want to live our lives in a make believe reality however, 'soft days' are VERY necessary for balance!!! For the most part if left unchecked we can live in a constant state of strain with a BARRAGE of information pummelling our senses from every direction!
So, live today 'soft'.

BLARING from the radio or the TV......'This is your news this hour'....turn it off

Someone is upset about the way someone said something to someone else which wasn't true but they believed it anyway and so the whole situation.....blah....you know how this continues.....turn away...

LAUNDRY piling up in the corner!Pot boiling over on the stove!Phone ringing!"you've got mail!"doorbell ringing, baby crying, dog scratching at the door........breathe :) and smile, hum a tune (make a date with your bubble bath tonight and a good book in your head....you WILL get there :)

No matter what is coming your way today....if it is 'kind' to you, if it is a 'soft ' situation....one that will allow you to glide through present moment and into the next......EMBRACE IT!!!

If it is a harsh situation.....say a polite "No, thank you". Just for today. Just for even this moment. My Self deserves a 'soft' day..... and that day, is today :)
Shine a 'soft' Light today .... but shine it strongly enough for other people to 'feel the glow'!! :) Have a GREAT one!!

11.11.11 wow! Need I say more??

2011-11-11T03:53:00.000-08:00

This is it! This is the day that was MADE for Angel Communication, connecting with your Angel Team! KNOW that every thought you have is being put on your Angel's list of 'to-do's SO KEEP IT POSITIVE!! but keep it REAL!
Be careful not to schmooze up your thoughts and feelings and ASKING FOR 'stuff' that you would like help manifesting going forward - don't 'muddy up' your requests and your communication with your Angels with special voices, rituals, fancy prayers and tra-la-la thoughts!! KEEP IT REAL!

Some things you don't like? say so. Ask for help to banish those things from your day, your thoughts, your activities etc.
Some things you WOULD like very much and you would like them to become a part of your day....ASK for those things! straight out!! just say so.
write all this stuff down on paper (so it stops the incessant loop of thoughts in your head - once you write it down....you have OFFICIALLY given it over to your Angel Team and you are now free to live in PRESENT MOMENT - knowing that the 'yesterdays' have been wiped clean of any regrets leaving only the good bits within our Selves and the tomorrows that are guided by our Angel Team.....we have ONLY THIS VERY MOMENT TO PARTICIPATE IN AND DO OUR VERY BEST AT ENJOYING!
done. Now enJOY it!!!
HOLD THAT RAINBOW IN YOUR HANDS AND SHINE ON - It's 11.11.11 AND WE NEED TO SHINE IT UP!! :)
Intuitive Guidance based in Oakville On - Angel Therapy Practitioner Ontario, Stacey MacDonald

Our Angels prepare for 11.11.11 :)

2011-11-10T14:29:00.000-08:00

oh yes!! Angel operators are standing by!! haha!! It is the cusp of 11.11.11 and this is a VERY auspicious time for us all as we are offered this wonderful opportunity to connect and communicate with our Angels as we never have before!!
So what are you waiting for???
Let's get going.

What behaviours, habits, poor perspectives, RUTS, opinions and attitudes, BEHAVIOURS (worth mentioning again!! ha!) would you like to see the back of, get rid of, say ADIOS to? write em down.

Also, what behaviours, points of view, types of situations, mannerisms, abilities to 'handle' certain situations, what types of abundance (yes there is more than one kind!) ....would you like to DRAW NEARER, be your companion, be a comfortable fit for you on a daily basis??? write em down!

I want you to really FEEL this list. (and feel free to fold your piece of full scap in half like we used to do at school so you automatically have two columns!! this is an exercise in learning how to 'let go' and 'receive' SCHOOL IS IN PEOPLE!!! :)

for those sports fishermen out there....think of it as 'catch and release'. For others maybe it is "Law of Attraction" vs. "Law of Detraction" (? wha' ?)
but I digress...
This is worth having some fun with but it is also worth some careful thinking and planning and FEELING your way through this. How would you like to FEEL going forward. (free (of debt, of guilt, of barriers and obstacles) joyful, unobstructed, carefree, healthy, hopeful etc) now what types of actions in your world, what types of day to day activities support those feelings within you? (what OR WHO needs to GO? what or who would assist in this? who and what do you need to engage with?)

Make that list and make it LONG. make it detailed. and then hold it up for your Angel Team and smile. Fold it up in a small square and keep it in a very special place in your home.....do you keep a wee pot of Angel pennies somewhere? special notes or birthday cards from past days? momentos from your childhood or family mementos? a drawer that is reserved 'just for you'?
Stow this away and KNOW that you have handed this list to your Angels on 11.11.11. NOW, it is THEIR focus and not YOURS.
Go about your day, interact and know that your Angels have your back more than ever before!!!!!
Now, get going and prepare for your VERY SPECIAL DAY tomorrow!! and keep shining!

LET GO of that 'BIG THING' getting in the way of the Light!!

2011-11-10T04:01:00.000-08:00

Why do we always have to have 'a big thing' in the middle of our day? You know? The kind of 'thing' that isn't there as SOON as you wake in the morning...buuuuut arrives very shortly on the train as scheduled shortly thereafter. This is the same thing, burden, trouble spot, anxiety, insecurity that you took to bed last night only to have it dissipate in your dreams while your Higher Self took over and rested your body and mind washing it clean. Now that you are 'more like your old Self'....
DON'T ALLOW your lower Self access to your new, freshly washed and cleansed perspective first thing in the morning. DON'T LET in the little niggly negative self sabotaging voice!....just don't let it in. period.
STAY FOCUSED on ALL THINGS POSITIVE in your day, in your life, in your circle of friends,in your family, in your opportunities, in FAITH that there is EVEN MORE good being brought into your life RIGHT NOW. It is on the way. yes it is . Believe and Trust. Smile even! :)
and you know what? there are STILL going to be 'big things' to deal with (some bigger than others but our lower Self will try to MAKE SURE THAT THEY ALL!!! seem insurmountable!!! .... keep turning away and focusing on the light of positivity, trust and Faith....its just that easy) With this new change in perspective, even the REALLY big things are 'do-able', manageable and will be handled in due time with our support staff at our side, our friends, our family, our Angel Team, our belief....it's all going to be just fine.

AND it's going to be fine because we have popped the big black balloon of negativity (that our lower Self had taken all that time to blow up and float out into the middle of the room!!) so now, NOW!! we can see our Light!!! Keep shining. :)

BELIEVE!!!!

2011-11-07T20:11:00.000-08:00

IN YOU! yes! Believe in you. your SELF. yes, of course, believe in the other guy too - believe in the goodness of humanity, believe in your children, your marriage, your family, yesyesyesyesyes.

We believe in so much (mmmm, I believe I'll have another piece of pie!! hah!) no, really we BELIEVE in so much!!! WHY !! ? are we SO reticent to believe in ourselves. (and you know when I say that I am NOT TALKING LIP SERVICE HERE - WHEN WE TALK ABOUT BELIEVING IT IS BELIEVING......right down to our toes. no doubt, no hesitancy, no way. all in or all out.

We do it for other people.

We do it for other events.

We especially do it for those we love.

hmmm.

so - are we talking about BELIEVING? or are we talking about SELF LOVE? love of self=belief in self =strong sense of self esteem and confidence=strong ability to get things done confidently and knowing that not only are you capable but you are the ONLY person who can get this job done the right way because your own UNIQUE CAPABILITIES must be leant to this particular project to enable it to succeed on EVERY LEVEL!!!!

yes. that is EXACTLY what I am talking about. BELIEF IN ONE'S SELF STARTS TOOOOO-DAAAAY!

and yeah, is the wind blowing? are there a THOUSAND other people who look like you and say they can do what you do only better (and maybe even secretly want to BE you?? haha!!) SURE!! is the sky grey? ya! are the clouds ominous? sometimes!

but guess what? doesn't matter.

you are you. you are AMAZING. and YOU BELIEVE IN YOU. more than ANYTHING else today that is true and the WHOLE day we are going to wear that in our heart!

Affirm, "I believe in me more than I have EVER believed in me before - and it feels good. Really good. and it feels RIGHT. I know that I have been overdue for this self belief to be extended to my Self and my Higher Self and today, I honour that. I will wear this 'self Belief' every day proudly"

BELIEVE! and SHINE!!

Archangel Uriel guides us step by step.....

2011-11-07T09:03:00.000-08:00

Step by step. inch by inch. stone by stone. we get there.
where is there? one step further down our Path of course! maybe we are on an entirely new Path at this point (having completed all of the stones on the last chapter of our journey we are now facing in a new direction and just moving towards the next stone of a new Path)....same river ...just a new Path. We did not know that there would be so many stones to cover....but there are. and that's ok. The river is beautiful free flowing and clear, even when it rains and some of the mud stirs up at the sides leaving the water a little 'murkier' then usual...eventually it clears again (and we have that wonderful scent left from the rain - so cleansing and invigorating at the same time)....we can keep going.
In the day, it is fairly easy to navigate our way from stone to stone and see our way far into the future, have an idea of where we are going, see some twists in the Path, sometimes even see our destination....but then night falls and it is difficult to see even the stone we are ON let alone the NEXT step! Not even knowing where the next step is, not being able to see where OR IF there are any twists or turns in the path ahead, not being able to know for sure if the water is rising or if it is our imagination? certainly and in NO WAY being able to see the destination.....yes, Life Path is very much like this.
MUCH more like traversing the stepping stones across the river....AT NIGHT!
And THIS is where trust and faith step in. Relying on guidance, inner guidance, inner intuition, - all courtesy of the same source - your Guiding Angels. It's like having a lifelong connection with your Angel GPS! Trust it. It is real. It has got you this far and it will take you on!!
In particular, Archangel Uriel is generally the one around when you need to or are ready to take the next step. He will light the way for you - he will hold his lantern up high just over your shoulder (as he stands behind you to steady you forward) so that you will be able to get a clear view of or just catch a glimpse of 'the next step'. He holds your arm and makes sure that you get there safely and without incident....great! Now....where is the NEXT step? can't see it? That's because he has put the lantern back down again - he is still there steadying you while you are on THIS step and when YOU ARE READY for the next step, the lantern goes up and off you go! Hey! here's the other thing!! maybe the next step is NOT READY FOR YOU!! Sometimes we feel like we ARE ready!!! and we have been ready for A LONG TIME!! but you know what? the stage has not been set for us yet on the the next step....we have to wait and to trust and believe that when the next step is ready AND WE ARE READY TO TAKE IT.....then conditions are perfect for Archangel Uriel to raise that lantern.
If you feel a bit like you are 'stuck on a stone' - look up and enJOY the view, breathe in the beauty of the day, the freshness of the air - and KNOW that the next step is being prepared for you and RELAX! you are in good hands!!!!
Keep shining!! :)

This is where I "FACED MY FEAR'!! :)

2011-11-06T07:00:00.000-08:00

Yah! you know what? We all have 'fears' that have NOTHING to do with common sense or past circumstance or ..... well? I don't know but we ALL have them. I can tell you that one of my fears was jumping into 'dark' water. You know the kind? I CAN'T see the bottom. That is a problem for me. BIG.
Ever since I was a kid I couldn't do it.
I am a VERY strong swimmer. I have always been a very strong swimmer, love to swim, feel more at home in the water than out...but there it is.
I will swim ALL DAY..... in the pool, swim without a care in the world..... at the beach, swim at Tobermory, Ontario Canada
** (little plug - clearest freshwater in the world and divers from all over the World fly in JUST to have the pleasure of the GRAND CANYON like depths (150 ft or MUCH deeper one minute and 6 inches the next as you swim up to one of the MANY plateaus in the MIDDLE of the lake...let alone the shipwrecks that are lovely to dive and explore..also there as a result of the many plateaus!! ....but I digress.....:) I can do that because I am from that area!! go ahead, google Tobermory diving and book your plane ticket, pack your snorkel!....)
can you tell I am 'skirting the issue??' ha!
Right. so I grew up being able to swim in water where no matter where I was....I could SEE the bottom.
Regardless, this is not a prerequisite for most people....and I was SURE this was NOT going to be an issue for my kids....so I needed to get past it. I have always been open about this fear with my kids and they told me that I needed to face it (FACE MY FEAR!) but they told me to start small. Got it.
First stop, jumping off a dock. (lots of weeds. ew.) And after much coaxing (and some name calling!) I did it and somehow....much to my surprise....survived. whaddaya know???? yeah!

ok, so this summer? the black inland lakes of the Muskokas. Jumping off 15 feet of rock into pitch black water.....with my kids clapping and chanting (screaming!! I so apologize 'other campers') 'FACE YOUR FEAR! FACE YOUR FEAR! I flung myself forward and trusting in EVERYTHING .....I survived. NEVER MIND!!!! I had a BLAST!! and I kept doing it!! time and again I climbed out, jumped back in (when it was my turn mind, I NEVER even once CUT THE LINE!! haha!)

here's the thing. It hit me that I could have lived my WHOLE life not knowing how AWESOME it was to do one of the things that scared me the most. but I didn't.
I feared doing it.
I DID IT ANYWAY.
(with a little help...ok!! with alot of help!! ha!)
Sometimes what we fear are 'big' things and sometimes they are 'little' things but regardless, we fear them and they keep us from moving forward in so many ways. Today, make your list of things that you fear, things that make you uncomfortable, things that make you nervous, things that you could NEVER do...that is for 'other' people....haha!! and make a date with even ONE of those items .... to move past it!! FACE YOUR FEAR!
When you step out of your 'comfort zone' is when you get back a little piece of your Self that sometimes....you didn't even know was missing.....UNTIL you get it back!! wow. awesome!!
Discover that little piece of you that CAN DO IT!! It's in there! :) Keep shining!!

You gotta FIND that wave if you wanna RIDE THAT WAVE!

2011-11-05T04:57:00.000-07:00

That's right! I KNOW that you know that this guy was NOT just sitting on the couch a few minutes ago. No sirreeeeeeee. Big things, great excitement, terrific accomplishment, grandiose exhiliration DON'T JUST HAPPEN. ok, sometimes they do but it is SO RARE - why chance it?? Why not just GET OUT THERE and make it happen.
The thing is, generally to get to the BIG STUFF, the fun stuff, the end result, the "wow, this is what I always dreamed would happen' stuff......there is a bunch of stuff you have to do at the very beginning of this quest that.....ehhh, is not so fun. a bit boring actually and sometimes quite annoying (so its easy to throw in the towel, this is a way in which our ego will self sabotage our own Higher self's ability to manifest our desires)
so, knowing this - DO IT ANYWAY.
Acknowledge the 'boringness' and the 'tediousness' and then.... do it. YOU KNOW WHERE YOU ARE GOING and don't let a little 'running around the mulberry bush' or 'I'm just chasing my tail' niggly, negative thoughts slow you down. Simply do it. and keep doing it.
ALWAYS keep your dream close at hand. VISUALIZE where you want to be - actually SEE yourself in your mind's eye doing what you want to be doing, living the life you want to lead, looking physically how you want to look, acting emotionally how you want to act, riding the wave you want to ride! and say "I AM such and such" (you get it? not "I want to be such and such", not "Ohhhhh, why am I not such and such" and definitely not a jumping up and down "yeah right! I'll NEVER be such and such" ok, ya got me now? a very calm, very assertive and very powerful "I AM such and such" together with your picture in your mind......while you are jumping through the boring hoops of stuff....keeps inching you closer and closer.
Then your Angels 'throw you a bone' and suddenly IT'S NOT SO BORING anymore!!! It's good and you can see REAL payback for your work!! you are ON YOUR WAY! and this continues for a bit, and then it gets tedious again (just before you burst through another glass ceiling the Angels on your Path will crank up the tediom to see just who can stick with it 'through the plateau' - who really wants it? who believes the most? whose Faith is strongest? and if that is you, then GET READY, cuz you are onto the next level of your Path! and therefore that much closer to your destination.
Just remember that this guy on his wave had a day when he got his FIRST surfboard as a gift, was awkward carrying it down the beach to the water, (maybe even got some sand in his eyes!) and FELL OFF IT a THOUSAND times on waves no bigger than our knees. He got a little hurt now and then (both his pride and maybe physically also) along the way, he got discouraged, he maybe even wanted to 'throw in the towel' at some point....but something kept him going.
Inner guidance, a drive to accomplish what you KNOW IN YOUR HEART you can do......not at first maybe, and it might not be easy, but YOU WILL BE GREAT AT IT.
Keep going. Find your wave.
....and keep shining :)

workshop timeframe 2.5 hrs cost. $75 all materials supplied

Stacey MacDonald is a Certified Angel Therapy Practitioner, for more information please see the website at www.angellight.ca

you THINK YOU KNOW THE WAY?? GUESS AGAIN!

2011-11-04T09:44:00.000-07:00

So true - there we are ticking along our Path and (yes, admittedly!!) not looking too much to the right or left, not really stopping to smell the roses, not noticing the 'freshness' of the air, not HEARING the birds or squirrels scuttling through the underbrush.....when suddenly!! WHOA! What is this??! ok....regroup...where have I been? where do I need to go?? who is to the left? what is to the right? am I not meant to 'plough forward'? is a diversion called for? "I have been SO CAUGHT UP IN BUSY-BUSY that I have NO IDEA where I AM let alone where I should set my intentions of BEING....."....and so we stand there, mind-numbingly overwhelmed with choices for the future as much as a dawning of how NUMB we have been to our PRESENT circumstances and so that we have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA of where we have been! physically, spiritually, emotionally....

we are at the crossroads and forget the recriminations! haha!! but seriously.... it is decision time. Where have you been, what are you supposed to be doing, what did you say you would be doing, what do others expect you to do.....no. done. over.

stop. sit down in the middle. SIT DOWN.

breathe and realize that this is YOUR journey and you can choose whichever path you like. yes. YES YOU CAN. (and I KNOW you can think of a THOUSAND reasons why you can't ....but you can) there is always a way.

It might not be the best and most grandiose way RIGHT NOW but you know what???? .... hee hee ....it 'almost' is and it is DEFINITELY better than where you have been 'living' and it is ONE STEP AWAY (or a couple but we will 'get there'!!!) from being IDEAL.....really.

so, what is the 'down side' to taking a chance here? THERE IS NO DOWN SIDE! It's all good!

you simply have to BELIEVE in SHIFTING YOUR PERSPECTIVE....if you don't quite get that... then pretend you do....and soon enough you will have that 'AHA' moment and .....wow!!! you get it. so good. really SO GOOD.

you are on YOUR path.

so hey, SHINE a little Light while you are there huh? so the rest of us can find your circle of Joy and join in!!

Angel Light Reiki Training

As a Reiki Master, I am currently offering Reiki Training in Oakville and surrounding area. I am frequently asked

"What is Reiki? how can it benefit me?"

Here is a little breakdown :)

Reiki (pronounced Ray-key) is a natural energy technique that unlocks inner flow of vital energy to restore an inner balance. After completing your Level I training you are able to tap into an unlimited supply of "life force energy" to improve health and enhance the quality of your life. Reiki treats the whole person including their mind, body, emotions and spirit as well as assuring a sense of peace, security and well-being. Specifically, this healing energy can assist with reducing pain, reducing stress, enhancing self esteem and self confidence, clearing your mind, shortening healing time and restoring energy and balance.

Reiki level I - During this course, all participants will learn the history of Reiki and the chakra system as well as be attuned to perform Self Reiki and learn to use appropriate hand placement in performing Reiki to heal others. Class is limited to 6 people in order to ensure plenty of one on one attention and practice time. Reiki Level I manuals will be provided and each participant will receive an Usui Reiki Level I certificate following the class. Workshop timeframe 10-5 pm cost. $180 all materials supplied

Go ahead!! it's YOUR TURN!!!

2011-11-01T18:14:00.000-07:00

There is your swing - it is your turn. Your Angels have been saving your spot in the lineup and now, NOW it is your turn, finally. YAY! but wait, if you get on your swing, and start slowly and then start to climb higher and higher and farther out and farther out.....wow, the ground really falls away there...hmmmm.
So, the swing looks fun - and you've been waiting a long time in line for your turn - but now that its your turn it looks like there might be almost as much to lose by trying as there is to gain.....sometimes you can see the safe landing if something goes wrong and .... sometimes you are just....out there...
Archangel Ariel is asking us to just get on the swing. Your Angel Team WOULD NOT have held your place in line FOR SO LONG if you were not meant to GET ON THE SWING. She is a champion manifestor and also helps you to have the COURAGE to take a leap of FAITH when the lineup dies off and you find suddenly...it's your turn. Go ahead, trust and have faith that there is a LEGION of support staff that is watching over you while you take your turn. OH! and it's perfectly OK to enJOY the ride as well!! Keep shining all! and keep swinging too!!

Simply be your Self

2011-10-31T10:02:00.001-07:00

New day? Fresh Beginning!

2011-10-31T07:25:00.000-07:00

Fresh day. Fresh start. Fresh week. Fresh perspective.
Like the dawning of the day we can enjoy and are blessed with a fresh chance each morning to make a fresh start. Take the best of the "yesterdays" and add it into the mix for your own style of unique contribution to "today". Are you going to 'take this chance' that is being offered to you this morning? OF COURSE YOU ARE! and you are going to take it again tomorrow. and tomorrow. and the day after that.
wow, what a gift we are given each and every morning! Unwrap your gift today and let it shine out into your World. Shine Brightly!!

Is it RAINING ON YOUR PARADE??! Well, hear THIS!!

2011-10-30T06:44:00.000-07:00

That's ok! Here's the thing tips....the sun IS NOT going to shine every day. yup. that's right. it just isn't going to. stinks.
some days (weeks!) we are just sitting there minding our own business, ticking along beautifully....feeling the beauty in the air, giving thanks for all that we have around us, taking in our surroundings, feeling the love.....and THEN?? AND THEN???? WOW.
there it is. the wakeup call. The person, place or thing (that can actually be somewhat of a permanent fixture on parade day? and if that is so then we have a larger deal to work with.....for SURE!) but right now we are talking about this 'thing' that while we are sitting there minding our own business and wishing others would do the same (haha!) we feel a few drops, then a few more and then SLAM!!! IT'S like a water balloon in the face!! Negativity and bad karma rain down on us from OUT OF NOWHERE and what can you do?? The parade is somewhat dampened but continues anyway (because focused positive people persevere even in the middle of a monsoon!!) however, the silver lining has been a bit tarnished.
Right, enough with the meandering analogies for the moment (in spite of how I LOVE them!) It's time to get to the grit as this is a subject that is VERY close to my heart. (cue drumroll)
There are people in this world that LOVE parades...
.and there are people in this world who LOVE to rain on them....
and so be it.
Each serves a purpose to be sure. Parade people spend an enormous amount of time annually wearing rose coloured glasses and a dose of reality needs to be had in order to keep that balance. Conversely, Raincloud people spend an enormous amount of time shielding themselves from any type of emotion, tut-tutting and poo-poohing themselves into a very dark and dismal corner. Balance between the two is a beautiful AND PRODUCTIVELY POSITIVE place to work with, deal from, enJOY and ACCOMPLISH REAL GOALS FOR YOUR SELF AND FOR OTHERS. BALANCE.

I DO personally LOVE this picture. This little guy is sitting minding his business and yet suddenly feels life raining on his parade. Instinctively! (I am assuming he has not at this point consulted his life manual, Reiki manual, Angel Therapy manual or any point inbetween!! haha!) however, he INSTINCTIVELY reaches down to solidify his foundation to maintain his position while he is being attacked or his position weakened in any way and AT THE SAME TIME REACHES UP to ensure that he is shielded from any further damage....and HE IS SHIELDED - as we all are! (our Angel Team makes sure of that and in particular, Archangel Michael - this is his specialty and any time you need shielding he is RIGHT THERE for you! so don't hesitate!!)

If our roots are solid (our integrity, our foundation, our M.O.) and we are quite sure as we reach up that we have a firm belief in the protection of our Angel Team to shield us from any and all negativity that may fly our way(any harsh situation, any toxic situation etc)....we are good! We are protected above and we are firm in our foundations!....ALL SYSTEMS GO!! There is NOTHING we cannot accomplish. period. really. FEEL this and KNOW this.
If you don't KNOW this (and I mean KNOW it right down to your toes) then you need to try it. Next time you feel the rain drops start.....reach down.....reach up.....and FEEL SOLID! There is no need to call a halt to the parade!!!! Just keep going darlin' and KNOW that you can just keep SHINING from wherever you are at!!....REGARDLESS of the weather! Shine on!

Drink in your Angel Rays!

2011-10-29T04:42:00.000-07:00

There is no change quite like our changing of the seasons. In Canada as in many parts of the world we have a sense of awe and wonder at the constant change of the weather, the landscapes and the different feelings and emotions they all seem to excavate from within us. Currently, in the deep days of autumn with the frost on the roofs in the morning, the furnace kicking in in the middle of the night and getting caught by surprise as the outside is SO chill at the beginning and end of each day - however we still have these BEAUTIFUL warm sunrays breaking through the skies LIGHTING UP the fall leaves and warming us from the outside in.
Feeling, TRULY FEELING the suns rays on us at ANY point in any season and in any part of the world is like a deep relaxation spa therapy provided for you directly from the Divine! and especially at this time of the year I find the waning intenseness of the sun just before we plunge HEAD FIRST to winter....the most cherished.
Sunrays (also called Angel rays in my house :) are GOOD LUCK! When you spot them from afar (driving in the car down the highway ... especially on the way to a sporting event!...is a great omen also!) or see and feel them streaming into your windows of your house.... or are out for a walk and see and FEEL THEIR GRANDEUR and HARMONY seeping into you, feeling their bliss on your cheeks and forehead, warming the top of your head and shoulders.....it's just like you are physically feeling your Angels sitting on your shoulders, putting their hands on your cheeks and lending you support and comfort. Look for your sun rays....your Angel rays! and FEEL their healing and comforting energy working on you and all that is around you. Shine back at them and feel the bliss.

Let Stacey MacDonald help you to discover your Angel rays - she offers Angel Therapy in Oakville.

Change is SCARY!!

2011-10-27T02:59:00.000-07:00

Oh my gosh!! CHANGE? what change? good, bad, up, down, new, old, any way it will be DIFFERENT! different from today and there is virtually NO WAY of knowing FOR SURE if these changes will affect me positively in a myriad of ways, short term or long term and in general unless and until....I experience it.

drrrrrrrrrrr

Even just writing about it has quickened my heart rate and eyes are a little wider as my mind automatically starts ticking back, back, back through time to all of the changes I have endured, undergone, looked forward to , DREADED, been surprised at, taken in stride etc. .... and yet here I sit.

Here I sit with another change coming my way and I KNOW it is for my 'greater good' haha!! what's more I have felt it coming for awhile (a couple of years anyway) and I was initially overwhelmed when it came up in my face but then I giggled a bit under my breath and nodded - yup, here it is. and so....

I STILL am wondering a MILLION things!! have you been there? are you there now?? worried a bit, excited a bit, trying to think of all and any loose ends you could tie up NOW instead of leaving it till you are in the thick of it??! yes, well....

Change as we know is part of the 'schtick' while we are here on this journey of ours...as we change (either kicking and screaming or embracing it!!!) we are growing! and therefore EXPERIENCING more of what we are meant to on this journey! ticking off some of those boxes that we agreed to do with our Angel Team before we got here and started our Path!

As 'scary' as it is...ya gotta do it ! :) so 'buckle down and GIT ER DONE!!' and remember, great results are not made overnight....inch by inch, step by step, feeling your way, leaning on your intuition, listening to your Angel guidance (after all THEY are the ones who got you into this!! and they are the BEST kind of support staff!!)....you will round this corner brilliantly and beautifully!!

So keep going. Step by Step. enJOY it!! Yeah, that's right! Here's a tip!...have some FUN with it!! So, you are NEW at something!! Just buck up and enjoy the heck out of it! and KEEP SHINING!!!!!

Reiki - powerful Healing!

2011-10-26T03:57:00.000-07:00

Reiki - (pronounced Ray-key) is a natural energy technique that unlocks inner flow of vital energy to restore an inner balance. There are 3 levels of Reiki training in all. In Level I, you will learn the history of Reiki and the chakra system as well as be attuned to perform Self Reiki and learn to use appropriate hand placement in performing Reiki to heal others. You are able to tap into an unlimited supply of "life force energy" to improve health and enhance the quality of your life. Reiki treats the whole person including their mind, body, emotions and spirit as well as assuring a sense of peace, security and well-being. Specifically, this healing energy can assist with reducing pain, reducing stress, enhancing self esteem and self confidence, clearing your mind, shortening healing time and restoring energy and balance.

ACE that test!!!

2011-10-26T03:37:00.000-07:00

Ace-ing the test. Remember that feeling? Getting that question at recess, walking home after school, or from your mom or dad at dinner time or later on at college or University...that feeling after the exam when you KNOW you finished well.....'how did the test go?" .... smiling, "I ACED it". awesome.

HOW did we manage it? was there a special equation that we followed? did we eat something special for breakfast that morning? did we wish extra hard on a star in the night sky previously? maybe. But 'dollars to donuts' I would say that more than likely we prepared. We listened, we studied, we understood, we asked questions, we followed our intuition, we STAYED CALM and went through our preparations methodically and BELIEVED that we could do this. and? WE DID!! and we did it WELL. AND CONFIDENTLY! because we prepared and we believed!
On a much larger scale and also a much smaller scale this very same methodology can be applied to ABSOLUTELY any other situation, obstacle, challenge, new venture or tricky situation we come across on a daily basis. Once we have prepared fully - THAT'S when the believing comes in.
and on the way to the test, when the ego starts to play its tricky games and try to wiggle its way into our subconscious with negative thoughts - we PUSH it away and focus on calming breaths. Keeping our breath even and steady we visualize EVERY breath in comes the BELIEF and TRUST in ourSelves and the full support of our Angel Team.........and with every breath out....goes any doubts, fears or anxieties. NOTHING to feel anxious about! WE are PREPARED and we are SUPPORTED!!
So go ahead today and PREPARE! do some legwork in an area where you feel less than fully confident in!! Get that extra work done and then sit back and let your Angels do the rest!! :) and Keep shining while you do it!!

Throw OPEN your arms AND RECEIVE!!!!!!

2011-10-25T03:53:00.000-07:00

Oh wow!!! DRINK in the AWESOME power of today! right now! There is absolutely nothing like the feeling of standing out in a field all by your Self....MILES of field stretching out in all directions, MILES and miles of space, air, life giving energy between you and that beautiful blue sky and that revitalizing power of the sun, MILES of ground between you and centre Earth, the grounding life force of Mother Earth pulsing beneath your feet....

all of this for you. as you stand there. SO SMALL in the Universe that 'ticks along' with or without you, whether you are relaxing, sleeping, laughing, crying, controlling (or trying your best to! and miserable failing because WE CANNOT CONTROL THINGS - WE MUST GO WITH THE FLOW!! but I digress....haha!) working, playing etc.

for you. all for you.

so PAY ATTENTION! Be THANKFUL for ALL that is provided for you today. and yesterday. and yesterday before that. and tomorrow. and....the thing is - it is ALL there for us whether we are paying attention or not...whether we are grateful or not. THAT is unconditional love and it surrounds us everyday. now THAT is truly something to be grateful for!!

THROW OPEN YOUR ARMS WIDE and receive abundance into your heart TODAY! It is there for the taking! so TAKE IT!!

and keep Shining :)

FEEL the power of 'TOGETHER'!!

2011-10-23T10:14:00.000-07:00

It's a world full of 'busybusy' to be sure and while we are generally focusing on Self, true Self, the power of Self, getting in touch with your Self......yes yes yes ALL TRUE and all very important and all to easy to forget and so, yes. FEEL a deep connection with your Self on all levels. Peel off those layers of 'busybusy' till you get there....good.

AND ALSO!!! FEEL THE POWER OF TOGETHERNESS! ACCEPT help from those who are offering it in a kind and beautiful manner. Thank you. SAY "Thank you for offering your help - I will be GLAD to accept". The power of together - people that you ALLOW into your circle of friends, family, acquaintances, business partners etc that assist you in a POSITIVE way in all levels!!

We are MEANT to receive the help that is offered to us - emotionally, physically, financially, spiritually.....receive good graciously into your life, your heart and your whole being!

So go on! Keep that balance flowing while you maintain your own freedom of spirit, your own individuality WHILE you take advantage of the benefits of running with the herd!! FEEL the power of TOGETHER!! and make sure you are shining for your whole circle!! :)

Allow your TRUE SELF to shine through!!!

2011-10-20T06:07:00.000-07:00

Be your Self! Out loud and proud. Wear your heart on your sleeve. Shout out your emotions! Feeling low? let it show. (and then LET IT GO! as my kids always remind me!! ha!) FEELING GREAT?? don't hesitate! get it out there and SHARE it! Shine it out there to everyone you meet and everyone you see and Shine your good fortune and great energy into your community ALL DAY LONG!!

We live in a world of 'busybusy' and in this world our emotions and the way we truly TRULY FEEL too often get shoved down into the course of events that avalanche into our day. We MAY feel a bit sad, a bit frightened, a LOT EXCITED about personal events or opportunities or achievements etc at certain times through the day but ...oops! SQUASH IT DOWN cuz there is NO TIME to FEEL that right now...I must deal with this phone call, this email, this appointment, this feeding for the baby, this carpool to work, to soccer etcetcetc. "I will feel that later".
Have you ever done that?? "I will feel that later?" ok, LET'S START PUTTING OUR FEELINGS IN OUR DAILY AGENDA - yes? Let's as a group grab our smartphones and schedule in between 6 and 6:15 this evening 'joy'/ 'anger' /'frustration'/ 'confusion'/'excitement' ....making a special note that this particular meeting with Self MUST NOT extend beyond 6:15 as you have another engagement with someone or something else (other than YOU and therefore MORE IMPORTANT than YOU and naturally more important than you actually and sincerely TAKING TIME for your emotions! haha!)

ok, really? is this where we are at?? of course not! (at least not yet!) no.
Today, WEAR YOUR TRUE FEELINGS AS A STAMP OF APPROVAL! Do NOT under-react to situations, do NOT over-react to situations....simply and confidently RESPOND to each situation individually as you allow your TRUE FEELINGS to show you the way. Be your Self. and be empowered doing so!
Keep shining!!

hmmmm....which rock to choose for the best view? :)

2011-10-19T06:42:00.000-07:00

A GREAT BIG analogy today! as we place our Selves on the beach building our tower of stones - over the course of the day, the week, the year(s) :) we strive for balance and experience a constant rush of human emotions as we challenge ourSelves to find JUST THE RIGHT balance for EVERYTHING!!...and just like when we were kids and worked on our beach towers similarly in our life we feel we have placed the stones well - or have tried very much to do so, our chief responsiblility at the time was to ensure there was a solid foundation and each decision on which rock to place, how to place it and then test it to make sure the 'wobble factor' was reduced to a minimum!! haha! Then the next decision of which rock to place NEXT. Choose a rock as flat as possible, large enough to hold the next rock and the next and the next.....we actually don't know how many rocks we will be asked to place on our tower however - our main area of focus is that ... the tower is balanced.

When the tower is balanced you are not limited as to how many rocks you can add on. (You know the towers where the 3rd and 4th rock have been chosen poorly and so as you add 7,8 and 9 the tower starts leaning drastically to the left and then, and then......awwww!! down it goes! Yes, we ALL know that feeling!.....a few minutes to look in disbelief, bury your face in your hands and then what do you do?? YES. you simply start again - having learned some lessons on what rocks to pick that best suit you, and your tower and how to place them.- SOME of the same rocks can be reused in the new endeavour and some need to be traded out... It quite often feels even BETTER building the tower this time as you are WISER and more confident :)

THIS tower is getting stronger and higher day by day, moment by moment - the foundation is stronger, the building is guided and therefore there are NO LIMITS!

EnJOY your tower today! Whatever height it is at this moment in time - maybe you feel you have not built high enough to really see much from the top, maybe your tower USED to be higher but then it 'crashed down' and you have had to start over or MAYBE you feel it is SO HIGH that you don't dare BREATHE for it may come crashing down? FORGET ALL THAT!!! YOUR foundation is STRONG! Your belief is STRONG! Stride up to your tower and start climbing...grab ahold of your stones and climb each rock saying a prayer of gratitude for each lesson you have learned and gained from when you placed it...climb higher, higher and when you get to the top....SIT DOWN :) and closing your eyes...deep breath IN.....exhale out (loudly and fully, mouth slightly open, exhale right down to your toes!) now do it again, do it 3 times. :) Open your eyes..... Nice view :)

When you FEEL you are full to the brim with appreciation of your Self and your abilities.....

CLIMB DOWN AND KEEP BUILDING!!!! haha! oh, and keep shining too!! :)

Celebrate! do you remember how?

2011-10-18T07:00:00.000-07:00

Oh my goodness!! We strive and strive to reach a milestone that we have had in our heads and minds and dreams for so long - how long??! can't remember! just so long the striving has become part of us, our daily routine to think about , check back on, put it on the prayer list, the affirmation list, the "I'll be happy when I reach that milestone" list....
and then? WE GET THERE.
YAY? good for me? well done me? hip hip and "for I'm the jolly good everything"??! uh....er....actually, not so much. perhaps a quick revelation and then back in the car, driving back and forth, groceries to get, phones to answer, laundry to do....
NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!! STOP.
you got there. sit down and let that wash over you in a big big BIG way. Dial back to the time when you were lost and looking for some direction, choosing a goal, a milestone to reach for. Networking with others and feeling your way, making your choices about HOW to do it, WHEN TO DO IT, how much is too much, how much is not enough..etcetcetc. Alot of YOU went in to the accomplishment. Alot of inner guidance was followed....YOU LISTENED and YOU ACHIEVED. You are there.
Good.
and YES! I KNOW that now that you are there - there is SO MUCH MORE TO ALSO LEARN AND SPIN OFF FROM and this achievement also shows you that there is so much MORE TO DO , to LEARN...YES! and you are right. There is and you will.
But not today. Today you Celebrate :) and maybe tomorrow too. Celebrate within your Self and fully and COMPLETELY in a very self assured, confident and self satisfied way!! pat your Self on the back! Smile to yourSelf! ALL DAY! Tell your inner child that so strives for YOUR OWN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT that you did good. really really good!!
Keep shining! and allow your Self to 'shine brighter'!! as you Celebrate!! :)

BEWARE of the glass ceiling!

2011-10-16T05:08:00.000-07:00

Sure we have all had at least one glass ceiling at one point in time....what? ya? do you think you might have one now in some area of your life? no kidding! of course you do - we all do! you might not even realize it (or perhaps you very much do realize it and you have quite the goose egg on top of your forehead from continually SMACKING INTO your glass ceiling on a regular basis!) Maybe your 'one of those' who has JUST SUCCESSFULLY poked a hole in (one of) your glass ceiling and are VERY MUCH enjoying the view....well done! good on you!!
and who do you think is the glassmaker? right, it is US! WE alone have placed so many misconceptions, barriers, perceptions, excuses, anxious thoughts, self sacrificing duties etcetcetc on OUR SELVES! that while we are doing this we are carefully fabricating a beautiful glass ceiling directly over our heads. From this vantage point we can SEE where we would like to go (in fact this pops quite frequently into our line of vision) we can even see OTHER people get where we would like to go, we can even dream (dare we) about SOME DAY breaking through all those barriers and restrictions and POKING A SMALL HOLE in that glass ceiling and enjoying the view from the top!

So try it...WOW!! WHAT A RUSH!! no limitations, no restrictions, no excuses, no fear just grand grand thoughts and dreams and goals accomplished!! Sure, there is risk also....it is not as 'safe' up here....but, we can BREATHE again and we can LAUGH again!! we are truly living now!!!! not 'waiting' to live.

So, SOMEDAY is now TODAY! Break through your glass ceiling. Now in your head. Just DO IT! Strip away all the barriers, misconceptions, excuses, anxious thoughts etc and FEEL IT crumble above you and separate enough for you to poke your head up around you and see sights that you have never SEEN before....starting with the Self that you have never SEEN before!! like it? haha! I thought so!! me too! (*and think of the Windex we'll save!!*) haha!! Keep shining!

ZIP IT!! GREAT things can be gained!

2011-10-15T05:42:00.000-07:00

Ah yes! It never ceases to amaze my in this world of "communicatecommunicatecommunicate" through verbal agreement(or disagreement! haha!) through texting, through emailing, through skyping, through ... hand written letter?? yes, I still think sometimes! (SO NICE to get those in the mailbox by the way if anyone is wobbling on the edge of should I or shouldn't I jot off a note to someone and pop it in the mail...the answer is YES!) anyway, I digress - from the MOMENT our feet hit the floor in the morning we are communicating in some way with the outside world and WHILE I am generally the one being told from MY Angel Team to shout loudly from the rooftops and encourage people to "Get it out! Speak from the heart!" and that is true - TODAY the Angels are saying to know the difference sometimes and be able to gain from knowing when and which situations can be greatly benefitted by having the inner power to ZIP IT!! hah!
and when I say ZIP IT! I mean you are in a situation where every fibre of your being wants to make a comment (probably a nasty one) share an observation (possibly judgemental) express your displeasure (to say the least) maybe you even want to jump up and down, scream some accusatory remarks, shed a few tears in the process, slam a few doors...well, you get the picture!
bottom line is .... sometimes....and follow your intuition on this, there will be a niggling in your belly that will be urging you to....ZIP IT. Instead, try this...visualize your Self third person and instead of allowing the comments and frustrations rise to the surface - detach emotionally from the situation and see yourSelf grab a large popcorn and gargantuan pop from a make-believe vendor and take a seat in the theatre front row and see how the situation ends if you become a non-commital bystander in the situation. Watch all the actors in the play see out their roles, enjoy the show. Feel your Angel Team taking a seat with you...they will cue you when it is time to put down the popcorn and take your place in the show again but until then....ZIP IT and relax.
There are definitely situations where this rule can be applied and GREAT THINGS can be won by doing so. I had a situation just this week where I 'ZIPPED IT' and there were subsequent scenarios that followed (where I was just sitting there with my popcorn) and I wanted to THROW my popcorn down to the ground and jump up on that stage, my entire being was vibrating but I forced myself to breathe (sipped my pop) and sit on my hands and focused on ZIPPING IT.
At the end of (a very long) week, I had a surprise proclamation by a new actor on the stage but involved with the situation nonetheless, and the result was still tears in my eyes but NOT tears of frustration! they were tears of overwhelming Joy! how AMAZING was this decision that seemingly sprang from nowhere and even if I had tried to control the situation earlier in the week - there is NO WAY that this situation would have been able to be resolved in this GREAT way!! how awesome. truly.
I wish to share with you today that your Angels will be sitting and sharing your popcorn if a situation arises where you have GREAT THINGS TO GAINED BY ZIPPING IT! haha!

Sit back and enJOY the show!! and keep shining!!

Grab that morning time and run with it folks!!

2011-10-13T17:35:00.000-07:00

That's right!! ugh, the alarm is going off (because last night you were BENT on setting a new routine this morning) BEST foot forward and the morning has come now and you are getting up EXTRA EARLY to ensure you can have your cup of coffee before the rest of the world has woken up and CAPITALIZE on that intense energy that is practically palpable in the quiet morning air just before the dawn. Not a morning person? DOES NOT MATTER! This energy, this opportunity to connect fully with your Angel team in person, one on one is available to all of us and it is as simple as setting a pattern and letting them know that you are (somewhat! haha!) awake, ready and listening and DRINKING IN the beautiful morning energy!

In all seriousness folks, if you try it - you will know what I mean. Each day seems to get incrementally busier and busier - the energy and demands of the day can be felt prickling along our nervous systems much like static on a radio station. BEFORE all that happens - in the morning, JUST before the dawn is a magical time where even stepping out on the front porch or the balcony, FEELING the silence and allowing the notion of being the ONLY one awake in this sleeping world and therefore you have ALL of the twinkling stars energy to drink in all to your Self, all of the Angels and Archangels and Nature Angels attention all to your Self as they notice you standing there, so small in this great big world silently awaiting your download of peace and calm and quiet - an inner knowingness that no matter what today brings - it will NOT IN ANY WAY be as BIG or as AWESOME as this wonderful connection you have made with the Divine this morning. Together with this awesome partnership been forged as the sun greets the world in a yellow haze on the distant horizon....you turn to go in, vibrating with energy, having been cleansed of ANY doubts on your ability to meet any challenge with your newfound and welcomed back up team :) and are ready to greet the day - EXHILARATED!!!
Don't miss the next show! Its worth it!! Let the morning rays Light up your Shine and shine it back onto everyone you meet all day long!! :)

I Believe...

2011-10-05T08:31:00.000-07:00

I Believe the Divine lives within each one of us

I Believe we can heal our Selves

I Believe we can help others to awaken their own healing power

I believe in pure joy

I believe bliss lies in simplicity

I believe the answer to every issue becomes available when you open your mind to possibility

I believe that learning to live in the present moment is the key to uncovering 'the power of Self'

I believe laughter is powerful in its healing capacity

I believe compassion and love provide a gateway and safe passage through anger and fear to a new landscape of greater understanding and peace

I believe we set down our own Paths before we come here on this Journey and feel a comfortable fit as we unite with people and situations that allow us to reach our milestones.

I believe we are all "human connectors" between Mother Earth and the Divine. I believe wherever we have walked we leave a footprint of the Unity - a column of Light in our Path to shine for others.

I believe everyday that I believe creates more to believe in.

I believe in the power of one.

I believe in the power of many - working together as One.

I believe in Believing.

Whatever flows from you - also flows around you

2011-10-02T04:54:00.000-07:00

What kind of environment do you want to live in? what kind of relationships do you want to have? what would you like your marriage to be like? how would you like opportunities to come to you? how do you want to feel? how do you want others in your circle to feel? how do you want them to treat you?
Sit with these questions for a moment and then picture yourself in a swimming pool -swimming from one side to the other, the stroke you are using is the head-up breast stroke...from there you are able to smile at those swimming around you calmly moving through the water with barely a ripple of water moving around you. Now picture yourself swimming across the same pool doing the front crawl fast and furiously, bent on reaching your goal regardless of anyone in your path, breathing and gasping and splashing your way to your destination not stopping to notice anything except the time on the clock marking your pace.
Another picture the angels are showing us this morning is those people who prefer swimming in the river, going with the flow allowing tthe current to take them bobbing aand swirling along to their destination . Using the same analogy, the poeple who bob along the current for awhile and then when it gets too brisk and boisterous, maybe a bit challenging (this is usually in life where there is an imminent breakthrough) and THEN? those poeple grab the nearest rock or tree limb and hang on for dear life in spite of all the sticks and leaves and other floatables in the river that pile up on their back because they have created a blockage of flow and now have to bear the burden of their fear in this manner.
If you would like to live in an environment with peole and in relationships where you are able to keep your head up and greet those around you calmly and vice versa, getting to where you need to be in the time it takes to get there... then in your actions and words to yourSelf and to others today - picture smooth, clear flowing water emanating from you to those around you. Go with the flow, bend twist compromise, enJOY and feel the flow of compassion and love flow from your Self to others. Sure, there still may be some ripples --- but stay in the flow, be patient and the current will take you to where you need to go.
Keep shining 'in your flow' !! :)

CELEBRATE YOU! at the Peak, in the Valley and ESPECIALLY along the 'straight' :)

2011-09-26T07:02:00.000-07:00

Right, so please feel it within you that THIS IS NO STANDARD START TO THE WEEK!!! This day, today is a time for celebration! That's right! Celebration!!
Life is most definitely a series of Peaks and Valleys as we continue along our Path on a daily basis. A lot of the time we can find our Selves just 'ticking along' on the 'medium flat' level of events and sometimes we can get 'stuck in a rut' on the medium/average/nothing special level of days...and that's ok.. and one of the things that makes this ok is NOW you realize that EVEN on the straight and narrow. humdrum days there are celebrations to be had. Yes! Like we have time to reassess ourSelves, look around us and our daily 'busybusy' and pat ourSelves on the back, and give hugs of gratitude to the people who are in our 'circle' of optimism and support....DO this! reach out and be grateful for those in your circle. CELBRATE them!
Now go to the mirror...NO! don't look at the hair and assess the flyaways! don't judge the lines-- haha! THOSE are LAUGH lines - celebrate Them!!
C'mon now...focus... and look straight into your own eyes. Breathe. look deep into your eyes, past all the surfacey stuff and gaze right down to your own Soul...CELEBRATE your own Soul. Feel it. You've come a long way baby!! GOOD on you! Celebrate and allow yourSelf to feel genuine respect and affection for your Self as you recognize all of your accomplishments and the obstacles you have overcome thus far and give a nod to the deep well of strength within you that will continue to serve you well in the future. Yes. :) Feel that. and feel the deep appreciation turn to a bubble of celebration....inner celebration for your Self as you stand there and recognize your own Strength. This exercise and acknowledgement of Self as you are "ticking along the median" will propel you forward lift you up. Nice.
and if you are on a 'Peak'?? WELL!! Grab it! I want each of us to take that big piece of news that has found its way to us to brighten our world and hold it up above our heads and shout!! SHOUT that you are over the moon with joy and thanksgiving for this beautiful gift! Revel in the magic of this event/news/opportunity/reward coming your way and KNOW that you deserve this, KNOW that with this reward you can take it boldly and go forward again to create MORE joy and peace and clarity for yourSelf and for others...Use this Peak Power as fuel for when the Valley time comes...
you will also KNOW deep within that Strength that is in your Soul...(and you have only to return to the mirror if you want to see it for yourSelf - breathe and allow yourSelf to see your strength, to feel your strength...) that every moment you keep shining your Light into the Valley....another Peak time is on its way to you. Surely and truly. Keep shining. :) and NO MATTER whether you are in a Peak time, along the straight or in a Valley....CELEBRATING YOUR SELF by shining in to your Self and strongly out to others is ALWAYS the actionable step that brings positive change and forward movement to you and to all who are lucky enough to be in your circle! SO GOOD! just Keep Shining! :)

Reach out for that Quiet Strength within you :)

2011-09-24T05:18:00.000-07:00

Quietly inching forward into the weekend we find ourSelves coming to terms with our inner power. This STRENGTH does not come as it has before....GUNG HO! vibrating at an extremely high level, with much HOORAH and stomping around, fist in the air feeling of STRENGTH, power and forward movement.....haha!! No, this is different.
This STRENGTH is a feeling of inner Strength and fortitude. A quiet sense of 'knowingness' and a steady progression of seeing through the 'to-dos' in order to meet with goals at a time when it is best that they are met. We are not in control of EVERY LITTLE (and big) opportunity that comes our way however as we meet each day and each moment in our day with our sense of STRENGTH we are more than able to quietly recognize when there is opportunity knocking at our door....AND we have the time to answer. Nice.
Quiet STRENGTH. Strength from within. Strength that partners easily with Peace. Beautiful. Keep shining and feel your own Strength within --- Rise & SHINE :)

GOOD & GREAT things are possible, nay!! PROBABLE!!

2011-09-15T07:27:00.000-07:00

So, c'mon now - what has you a little worried today? what EXACTLY is it? can you put a finger on it? just a general feeling of buzzing anxiety, a tenseness, , a pressure that has you breathing little short breaths instead of big deep relaxed ones, has your mind preoccupied and at the same time running so quickly and jumping from topic to topic but going nowhere???? or a sense of well being PUNCTUATED by mini (or full scale!) anxiety attacks? or a medley of all of the above....
C'mon, you are going in circles anyway! let's BREAK THIS DOWN!!
Go get a cup of coffee or tea or lemon water or .... something! :) and sit quietly with or without a piece of paper and a pen (I do all of my thinking on paper) and remember to bring your 'gut feel' with you, your intuition....and start listing all of the things that your mind is rocketing around on from the tall to the small, large down to miniscule items that are going through your 'live wire' mindset....
NOW look at this list (and there will be extra ones that pop in to your mind as you do this, that's ok...add em on!) and find THAT ONE THING on the list that REALLY gets your 'gut' flipping, has you in its trance (ie. wow, I can't believe I even WROTE that down for fear that would make it 'more real' and might actually happen (or not happen whichever is worse)!!)
Look at it, underline it and fixate on this issue. Let it roll around inside your head, think of all of the issues that would compound THIS issue, let it grow and grow in your mind until you have arrived at the single most WORST, dire result that could come from this--- feel it, live it, shoulder the full weight of it. breathe.
There. Done. You have done it. you worried about it, it came to life and now you are dialling back to NOW.
All of the things your very visual mind has envisioned, the places it has taken you...HAS NOT HAPPENED. You are sitting at the table with a warm cup of cofffee, breathing and relaxing. You are ready to begin your day now. NOT THE "IMAGINED DIRE RESULTS DAY". The Real day. Your day. Present Moment day.
When life, worries, anxieties etc has you living present moment as if you are plugged into an outlet tingling with nerves....dial back to present moment, feel your Angel Team around you fully supporting you and guiding you as they tell you that truly, in the NOW, All is Well ....and truly this is the ONLY where we can truly enJOY - NOW.
So, bask in the knowledge that you are not doing this alone, you are FULLY supported in the NOW by your Angel Team. Do NOT let your ego/lower Self try to control your ability to feel pure joy in each moment by playing out makebelieve scenarios that it tries to persuade and CONVINCE you that are inevitable....GOOD AND GREAT THINGS ARE JUST AS POSSIBLE, nay! PROBABLE!!
If you want to fixate on something....feel THAT!!
Now, stay in PRESENT MOMENT --- BELIEVE ---- & BREATHE!!!
oh, and uh....keep shining! ;)

Yellow flowers.....mmmm....enJOY!

2011-09-14T03:57:00.000-07:00

Is there anything better? I LOVE the 'mums' (chrysanthemums) this time of year - a BURST of yellow to jolt some beautiful lighthearted energy through my soul as my eyes are drawn to the pot of flowers on the front step...always brings a smile :) SUNFLOWERS!! the royalty of the yellow flowers.....yellow tulips....24 of them in a vase...simple but posh, sunny grandeur :)
Yellow flowers are a 'trigger' for me that cause me to stop and marvel ... and smile. We all have these 'triggers' however don't maybe indulge them all that much. These 'triggers' are generally not expensive luxury items and some don't cost anything at all....other than your time to notice them. The sound of rain falling, waves at the beach, (even waves on a CD with your eyes closed will do in a pinch!! haha!) the feel of the sun on your face, a hug from someone.....
Spend some time today with your 'trigger' :) STOP, MARVEL AND SMILE INTO YOUR WORLD! and enJOY!! That's the point. That is why we are here. Let's do it!!
Keep shining!

Peace within :)

2011-09-13T06:36:00.000-07:00

One of my ever present guides is St Therese and her prayer here is so inspirational and meaningful and peaceful and calming to me .... you can find it on my fridge, taped to my mirror upstairs, in my car and yes....even on the back of my contact cards :) It only seems 'right' that I should also see it here also :)
Keep shining!

May today there be peace within. May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith. May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content knowing you are a child of God. Let this presence settle into our bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of you.

If life is a book.....then what chapter are you on??

2011-09-12T08:38:00.000-07:00

For sure on this great journey of ours we can easily equate our paths, our comings and goings, our situations, our joys, our successes, our low points, frustrations, devastations, our 'stuckness'....(that's when we are not on ANY chapter at all but have decisively 'stuck' our bookmark in to mark the page, set the book down and sit on the couch with our arms crossed waiting for life to hand the book back to us!!) with a book. Our book. How does it read? what is the theme? who are the characters? WHAT CHAPTER ARE YOU ON???
For me, looking back I can easily see the chapters that formed Part I and then I can see (oooh, actually I can FEEL the circumstance(s) that brought me abruptly to the beginning of Part II.....notice I did NOT say the ending of Part I.....**always turn to the 'beginnings' when circumstances show you, you are at the 'ending' of a chapter - that is an opportunity to focus on and wait with ANTICIPATION for the 'begining'!!**
and yes, the chapters carried on and I can recount them all and laugh, smile, pat mySelf on the back, put on my 'cringeface' and question "WHY did I do/say that?", cry, carry on etc but the chapters are all there and that has brought me to Part III.
Whew!!
There have been chapters that I am ready to toss it all, put in my bookmark and sit down and just - stop. done. and there have been chapters where not only am I READY to do that...I DID THAT. boo.

Right, so it is important to know in our heart of hearts that for the most part...we are NOT WRITING these chapters (sure, we have our own free will and obviously choices to make within each scenario that guides us on to the next chapter) but BELIEVE you me, if it takes the next 20 chapters for you to learn a lesson that you set down for yourSelf with your Guides and Angel Team before you started this pathway....then your Team of guidance will keep setting up the overall theme of your chapters so you keep having this lesson (they are very clever about somewhat 'disguising' this lesson within different scenes and with different characters) until you 'get over the hump' and truly know and learn that lesson....and GROW forward. Nice. :)
So, if you are at a particularly boring part of your book, or a frustrating part of your book...recognize the common themes your Angel Team is showing you (write them down if you have to...there ARE common denominators here!!) and MOVE PAST IT....to the GOOD STUFF!! you CAN do it! for sure, otherwise it would not be in your book. period.
Bottom line is? you are not doing it alone and if you need help to get into Part III or into Part IV or wherever you need a 'leg up' ..... reach out to your Angel Team and allow them ...YES, ALLOW THEM.... into your life and into your Book on a conscious level. :)
Keep shining all!

It's ALL about making GREAT CHOICES!! yup, it's THAT simple!!

2011-09-07T09:11:00.000-07:00

and so it is...we ARE and we ACT and we FEEL and we THINK as how we choose to. period. hmmmm.

tell me, what 'coat' do you put on in the morning? what 'baggage' do you instantly pick up the minute your feet hit the floor. Is your 'coat' strewn with judgement on your Self and on others, precariously wearing your 'coat' while you tiptoe around in your glass house??? FORGET IT!!
Let's hit that reset button!! Seriously, let's sit on a bench somewhere next to a busy sidewalk and let the world go by for a number of minutes while we take off our 'coat(s)' (and if you are NOT wearing one then 'good on you' and CARRY ON!! Light the Path!) and set down our baggage and feel our load get not only lighter but simpler. All of the 'stuff' that we carry around through our 'busybusy' not only affects others around us but most importantly, really REALLY affects us in everything that we do, say, feel, think and that affects our physical actions (or inactions) and THAT AFFECTS our emotions, our intuition (or lack thereof) and NOW!!!! we don't have ANY positive conection with others, our SELVES and also the connection with our Angel team has been seriously distorted (like trying to listen to an accurate message when someone is shouting into a tin can on a string while you hold the other one - a MILE AWAY!! haha!)
Right! So! simple, yes? YES! When you feel the urge to steer your thoughts in a direction where you see some 'negative' or judgement' ahead....steer the other way. If you are in a conversation where you see it 'going downdowndown' ....Don't be like the captain of the ship and go down with it! :) either get in a lifeboat and paddle away or plug the hole where the leak is and lift the conversation to new heights! Set a new standard for your Self and for all of the interaction you have throughout the course of the day! WHY? because YOU are worth it! and so is everyone else so let's make some GREAT CHOICES - CHOOSE to live and act and think and feel - simple, lighter, positive, joyful, tolerant, peaceful etc and enJOY spirited movement forward - together! :)
Keep shining!

The AWESOME Power of SHARING!!

2011-09-06T04:47:00.000-07:00

AWESOME! so awesome is the power of sharing!
Good situation, bad situation, nervous scenario, excitement, anticipation, trepidation, etcetcetc. ... Once shared, this situation expands or diffuses depending on exactly which type of emotion is being shared.
It is truly MAGICAL in that regardless of what the EXACT scenario is (different people, settings, words, etc) it is the EMOTION that is filling your predicament full of fear, jealousy, rage, sadness, grief, lonliness, desparation etc....ONCE SHARED this emotion starts to and continues to DIFFUSE within you...the burden of this heavy, negative emotion has been shared and therefore been relieved of its internal power over your ability to move forward.
In a similar yet different way, THE SAME MAGICAL EFFECT IS ALSO TRUE for emotions such as happiness, excitement, pride, joy, fulfillment, achievement... sure, all these emotions are wonderful and special and we all revel in them and relive these feelings and emotions whenever possible! however .... ONCE SHARED! these emotions EXPAND and NOW! the emotions of positivity surround you completely, make it REAL, and also you have the added benefit of seeing YOUR OWN POSITIVE EMOTIONS wash over the one or two or ten or a hundred people like a wave of Light.
Hey! either way you cut it SHARING IS GOOD....no, GREAT!! So, let it out, get it out and feel the power of SHARING :)
Keep shining! ;)

and now?? we press the PAUSE button!

2011-09-05T05:40:00.000-07:00

Have you ever found yourself at a party, busy intersection, subway car etc where you find yourSelf 'placed' in the corner and can easily watch what is going on around you as an observer only? While you are in this position it seems like you have been placed (temporarily) inside a bubble of space and time where movement around you slows down, you can hear what other people are saying, the 'busy busy' of the world around, see others 'holding court' in animated conversation, hailing cabs, searching through shopping bags etc...and you? just sitting there breathing deeply, watching and observing frantic lifestyles as you sit back and enjoy the show. In this day and age of PVR TV where you can watch things live, or fast forward and rewind as you choose....in a similar way we can and do apply these same settings to our daily routine.
Today the Angels are suggesting, STRONGLY :) (and taking the long way on this one as well haha!) that we take a turn at hitting the 'pause' button. Sit down, listen, watch, enJOY the silence or the pandemonium or the quiet conversations of others or the hum of the engine etc. and LET EVERYTHING HAPPEN AROUND YOU while you take a moment to PAUSE. See and feel all of the 'busy busy' and the 'to do's' flying around you in a circular pattern like icons ready for you to 'press and go' on anyone or many tasks. See them floating around you and visualize them fizzling out and disappearing as you remain in 'pause 'position. Let go of all the icons and 'post it notes of todo's' and take a deep breath and SMILE!! as you bring YOU back to your Self. Someone or something will eventually come along to the remote and press the LIVE button and snap everything back up to real time but for now....we PAUSE. SO good!!
Oh! and keep shining that beautiful Light!

Eyes forward please - always forward!!

2011-09-03T05:52:00.000-07:00

Simple - to make progress forward you MUST keep your eyes forward. :)
No one drives a speedboat across the lake, head turned over one shoulder staring fixedly at the wake the boat leaves behind. No one. One would NEVER EVEN THINK of doing that - this would NOT BE AN OPTION. Common sense rules that if one did that, the boat may crash, turn into a wave, a buoy, another boat, the opposite shore!! if you are turned long enough!! haha!! NO, this would not happen.
And so it is as we go about our daily business. Our Angels are showing us this analogy as they would have us learn that THE SAME thing happens as we are on this Path. We generally and regularly look over our shoulder to see 'the wake' we have left behind and in many cases remain fixated on this 'wake' to the point where we DO crash, find obstacles in our path, unsurmountable obstacles...that could easily been avoided if our eyes had remained forward.
Keep your eyes forward. Maintain steady eye contact with your goals, dreams, wishes, ideas, your desired Path, your future, your Self.
STAY CONFIDENT in your ability to move forward and breathe easy knowing that whatever obstacles show themselves (and they will :) you will be able to more easily move around them with the help of your Angel Team as you keep your eyes, your mind, your Self more in present moment with a positive Spirit looking FORWARD.
Keep shining!

Set the stage for 'Inner YOU' to SHINE!!

2011-09-02T05:21:00.000-07:00

Going forward ALLOW YOUR INNER VOICE its turn at the podium!! Yes! that's right!! let the 'surface you, the cardboard cutout you, the "I don't have time for this I have to get to work/the grocery store/the gym/my kids school/my appointment" YOU to step aside.....BREATHE.... and allow your inner voice 'the floor'.
At first, this inner voice may be silent, not ever been given time to view its opinions and options and so continued silence of 'busy you' will only lend confidence to the 'inner you', the 'real you', the YOU that your Angel team can communicate with. :) This voice may then start off chattering away to you regularly and often , however is more likely to start the ball rolling with 'twinges of feeling/intuition' and then one word clues (**learning exercise** these 'random' words/phrases can be jotted down as at this stage that one word will be random on its own however when placed with another word you will get later....the meaning is sometimes very useful in guiding you on your Path - so keep a jot notepad close at hand to record the words or phrases that come to you as you are learning to open up to your 'inner you') however one word, an image, a feeling from your inner voice will gradually (as long as the belief and faith is there) lead to confident, strong, inner guidance that you can tune into whenever you feel the need. :)
AWESOME! GREAT!! so TAKE TIME (even a few deep breaths while your on the subway is enough to signal your 'busy you' away and set the stage for the 'inner you' to shine through.)
SO! keep shining and set the stage to LISTEN to YOU! :)

Be DISCERNING wth your personal boundaries!

2011-08-29T07:00:00.000-07:00

There is a palpable message of 'discernment' this morning - of knowing the importance of truly being able to sift through the pulls and pushes of every day and to unapologetically LET GO of the things that push your own personal boundaries to the extent where you no longer feel like your Self. It is very important!! to set hard and fast personal boundaries ... it is quite necessary and exceedingly healthy for you to work as our own advocate and allow your Angel team to guide you through your intuition (do not ignore it .!! this is for your own good!!) and enable you to keep doing GOOD in the world without feeling overwhelmed and bogged down. So! use your discernment and judge accordingly that which you can take on and that which MUST be left behind for the betterment of YOU and all of the 'good' you can achieve aroud you. Keep shining!

New family motto :)

2011-08-19T04:41:00.000-07:00

Such a great GREAT feeling of excitement the day of leaving for holidays....for a week.... on a plane...going to see a dear dear friend.... all the packing and to-do stuff is done...nothing left except to 'dial down' and get into 'vacation mode'....and so I will.
and when I return I will (hopefully!) be able to call back this feeling of air going out of an air mattress as I totally and completely 'let go' of anything pressing mentally and RE-LAX! I feel like this is a skill that can also be honed, called up and enJOYed when needed.....hmmm, will put that one in the rolodex.
OH! Also, sharing something that my wonderful 11 year old shared with me as he announced our new family motto...."If you are feeling low, let it go". wow. done :)
Keep shining your Light!
