Angel Reading for Summer 2011

This summer brings a lot of new energy for creation, manifestation and shifts in vibration.  As the summer progresses, allow your spirit to flow with the energy and not fight against it.  There are many challenges that are coming this summer, to strengthen you and strip away anything that is keeping you from fulfilling your life purpose.  Allow the new vibrations to free you from past regrets, past hurts and past mistakes.  Allow the higher vibrations to raise your spirits, encourage your heart and ease any worries that may cause you to think that you cannot overcome the current challenges in your life.

The Angel Cards for this summer are:

Crown Chakra – Pay attention to your ideas, as they are messages of true Divine guidance sent in answer to your prayers.  Allow the light to flow down through your Crown Chakra, let it help in manifesting your heart’s desires and find new ways to solve the challenges in your life this summer.

Shield Yourself – Protect yourself from harsh or fear-based energies by envisioning a cocoon of healing light surrounding you.  Call upon Arch Angel Michael to assist in protecting you, your family and your home this summer.  Ask that you are protected from all negativity, whether it is from people, entities or vibrations that may cause harm to your life.  If you plan to take a vacation or weekend trip away from home, be sure to shield your home and property so that it is protected while you are away and that you are kept safe from harm while you travel.

Earth Angel – You are a lightgworker who has come to Earth to teach about love.  Summer weather allows us to plant flowers, grow fruits and vegetables and enjoy the splender of Mother Earth.  Whether you are planting flowers or enjoying the summer weather, take time to share your love and appreciation with the Earth.  She enjoys the beauty of the flowers, the laughter of children as they play games in the park or families swimming in the ocean.  Allow yourself to be filled with love and peace this summer.

Earth Day Angel Card Reading 04.22.11

Celebrate Earth Day with the Angels! 

Take time to be outside and celebrate the day and connect with the Earth.  Allow yourself to be one with the Earth and all creation.  Remember that you belong on Earth, and that you are a gift to the Earth with all of your wonderful vibrations, love and beautiful soul!

Card 1:  Arch Angel Michael – “I am with you, giving you the courage to make life changes that will help you work on your Divine life purpose.” 

Today, call upon Arch Angel Michael to help you connect with the Earth, feeling surrounded in protection, love and support.  Ask Michael to clear any barriers that keep you from being at peace on the Earth.  He will help you to remember your life’s purpose and remove the fears that keep you from living it out each day.

Card 2: Angel Zanna - ”You are protected from all types of harm.  The worst is now behind you.  I ask you to relax and feel safe.”

Allow your spirit to feel at peace today.  When you heal your spirit and feel at peace, the Earth can also heal and be at peace.  Release any negativity, fear and anger that you may be holding onto and allow your spirit to be filled with light and love.  Spread peace around the Earth today, every one you meet bless them with peace and harmony from your spirit.  You are protected and there is nothing to fear, allow yourself to be a peace every moment of the day.

Card 3: Arch Angel Haniel – Sensitivity - ”You are extra-sensitive to energies and emotions right now.  Honor yourself and your feelings.”

Have you been feeling extra sensitive to criticism and negative energies?  Don’t allow mercury retrograde to cloud your judgement.  Remember that you can control your thoughts and that no one is truly out to harm you or hurt you.  Often times it is only in your mind that others are putting you down.  Believe in yourself and remember that you have something amazing to offer the world.  Be gentle with yourself today, honor your feelings, remember that you can choose how you react to others and can remain at peace no matter what is going on in the world around you.

If you have a chance today, go sit out in nature.  Walk in the forest, stroll on the beach and take in the sunset.  Celebrate the beauty of the Earth!

Angel Card Reading for March 31, 2011

Remember who you are and embrace the love that surrounds you in every moment of every day.

Earth Angel – You are a lightworker who has come to Earth to teach about love.  Do you consider yourself a lightworker?  If you are reading this message, you are probably a lightworker.  Allow your heart to open to possibilities beyond your current job or life situation and realize that you have an amazing love and gifts to share with others.  Do not be afraid to share your soul with the world.

Shield Yourself – Protect yourself from harsh or fear-based energies by envisioning a cocoon of healing light surrounding you.  Remember to shield yourself every morning and before you go to bed at night.  Surround yourself in a golden white light that will allow in only that which is of your highest and greatest good and allow out only the highest vibrations of love and light.  If you would like to learn about shielding, please contact us.

Archangel Raphael – Arch Angel Raphael comes forward to offer you healing at this time.  Be wrapped in his wings of love, healing and peace.  Let yourself be free of pain, discomfort and troubling emotions.  May Arch Angel Raphael’s wings of love provide a safe haven when life gets too stressful and remind you that you are loved unconditionally just for being you.

 

Tarot Reading for Mercury Retrograde (3.30.11 through 5.11.11)

Mercury Retrograde begins today, March 30 and will continue through April 23, 2011 with final release from the effect on May 11, 2011.  Mercury Retrograde can be a great time to release old habits, heal old relationships and let go of old hurts.  However, if you fight the energies, it can be a frustrating time of technical difficulties, miscommunication and challenging relationships and planning troubles.  Often during retrograde, people who you haven’t talked to in years will come out of the woodwork, old relationships that need to be resolved step forward.  Do not allow ‘what ifs’ to cloud your judgement, enjoy the time that you have with them during retrograde, but realize that they will be gone just as soon as retrograde is over and you will have to reclaim the life that you were trying to escape from with new consequences to be paid!

With this retrograde period being in Aries, people who have Aries as their sun sign or part of their natal chart may be particularly affected.  Aries brings the following lessons to this retrograde period: learning to put yourself first, standing with your truth and taking charge of your life with firey creative passion.

Kerry and I pulled 3 cards for this Mercury Retrograde Period:

1. Four of Pentacles

The Four of Pentacles brings with it the lesson to reflect on what you need to let go of and what you need to balance in order to bring your physical affairs back into order.  With Mercury Retrograde, it is about bringing both your spiritual life and physical life into harmony.  Neither side should be pulling you off balance.  Allow the beneficial energies of this period to assist you in letting go of what keeps you from having a firm foundation in your life.  Although you may dream of your castle in the sky, you have to build the ladder to take you from the ground to the sky.  Take time to build your wealth, security and be grounded to the earth.

2. King of Swords

The King of Swords will assist you in discerning the truth in situations that you face during this period.  Be honest with yourself, what have you been thinking about yourself or others that isn’t true or an outright lie?  Are you really seeing all sides of a situation or are you jumping to conclusions?  Mercury Retrograde often causes people to jump to conclusions because communications are so troubled.  Don’t jump to a conclusion that isn’t true during this time period.  Allow yourself time to breath, sort out the situation and remember the truth of who you are and the person you may be about to have a fight with.  The King of Swords will help you cut through the fog to see the truth and save you from making a fool of yourself.

3. Eight of Wands

The Eight of Wands will help you to accomplish your goals during this time period with speed and efficiency.  Often Mercury Retrograde will create obstacles in your way, allow the Eight of Wands to assist you in finding creative solutions to those problems.  If there is so much going on, be sure to take a break.  Use this time to streamline all areas of your life.  Take time to be aware of the synchronicities that could be showing up in your path with people from your past.  Perhaps there is an opportunity for healing, business or an old goal that could be achieved by talking with a friend from the past.  Do not allow pride or ego to keep you from speaking with an old friend simply because you became too busy to talk with them regularly.  Pick up the phone and make that connection.  Eight of Wands will help you to travel with ease, start up new projects and receive positive news during this retrograde period when it would otherwise be difficult.

 

Fucking Perfect to Me

 

I saw the video the other day for Pink’s new song Fucking Perfect.  Some of the lyrics really tapped into part of my psyche and reminded me of how much pain people are feeling.  That we are built in such a complex way, our minds can be filled with so many traps to drag us down into darkness, depression and despair.  Many times these thoughts stem from childhood where we were beat down, broken down and made to feel less than the magnificent masterpieces that we are.  We are each a masterpiece, miracle creation that is waiting to shine the special light that is inside.  Don’t allow fear from childhood or stress from life keep you from being who you came to the Earth to be.  You are more than the darkest thought or fear that hides in the depths of your mind and the doubt that hides in your heart of hearts.

 ”You’re so mean

When you talk

About yourself, you were wrong

Change the voices in your head

Make them like you instead”

Change the voices and thoughts in your head that say you aren’t good enough, you aren’t strong enough or you aren’t pretty enough.  Whatever it is, there is never ‘enough’ to make you perfect.  YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE PERFECT – BE YOU! Be who you came here to be.  Be proud of who you came to the Earth to be. 

Who you are is enough, just as you are right now.  Every time a negative thought or fear pops into your mind, cancel and delete it.  Replace that thought with one that affirms your beauty, intelligence, charm, love, kindness, generosity, creativity…the list is endless.  The negative back talk is so limited, don’t get trapped in the cave of darkness simply because it is comfortable.  Be brave and enter into the light, enter into the world with the faith that who you are is enough just as you are. 

If you need help with affirmations or letting go of negative thoughts, please contact me.  I would be more than happy to help  you heal and release negative thoughts that keep you trapped in pain, hurt and fear.

I realize that for some of my readers that this video may be triggering, especially the images of suicide.  Please if you need help, support or feel triggered, reach out for help.  If you are triggered by images of suicide, I would recommend not watching the video.

Pink – Fucking Perfect  – (Suicide Trigger Warning!)

I copied the below warning signs from www.save.org

Warning Signs of Suicide

• Ideation (thinking, talking or wishing about suicide)
• Substance use or abuse (increased use or change in substance)
• Purposelessness (no sense of purpose or belonging)
• Anger
• Trapped (feeling like there is no way out)
• Hopelessness (there is nothing to live for, no hope or optimism)
• Withdrawal (from family, friends, work, school, activities, hobbies)
• Anxiety (restlessness, irritability, agitation)
• Recklessness (high risk-taking behavior)
• Mood disturbance (dramatic changes in mood)

If you or someone you know have any of the above signs, please reach out.  Seek medical attention immediately, call 911 if you are tempted to harm yourself or know of anyone else who wants to hurt themselves.  If you see the signs, don’t wait for someone else to figure it out.  Those precious moments could be what changes into a mircale that is transformed by help, healing and recovery.

Happy Thanksgiving! Counting our blessings…

Cheers! Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Hope your day is filled with joyful times with family and friends! Don’t let expectations of the ‘perfect’ holiday ruin the incredible moments that you share. Often times, expectations can cause many of us to become stressed out about the holidays, making it hard to enjoy ourselves, crabby and naggy at our closest loved ones as we try to recreate the picture of what we think the ‘perfect’ holiday is.  Remember that really, there is only the present  moment and you get to decide how you are going to live in it.  Choose to be at peace, even if the turkey burns.  Choose to laugh when your children spill the gravy.  Choose to share love and a smile when your difficult in-laws show up.  You can choose to be happy, content and peaceful.  By choosing your emotions, others will see your peace and try to mirror it back.  It will allow everyone else to be at ease, laugh and have fun together.  Isn’t that really what the holidays are all about anyway?

This isn’t the day to bring up past fights, arguments or judgements we have about others in our lives.  It is about sharing the best parts of ourselves and opening our heart to allowing forgiveness and gratitude to shine out.  Take time today to think of something you appreciate about each person who is in your life.  It may take more time for some of the difficult people, especially if they are not choosing to be at peace today.  Remember that each person is in your life because you chose them to be there.  Receive the lesson, insight and gift that each person brings and let go of the judgement on them and yourself for the minor imperfections that make us all human. 

Gratitude Prayer –

Dear Mother Father God -

We are so thankful for this special day where we offer our thanks and gratitude for all of the blessings we have received in our lives.  Thank you for filling our lives with infinite prosperity and abundance in all things.  Thank you for this beautiful feast, prepared with loving hands and hearts filled with joy. 

Bless each hand that has played a role in the preparation of this feast, from the animals, to the farmers and everyone along the way.  Bless this food with your unconditional love and infinite peace so that it may nourish not only our bodies, but feed our minds, hearts and souls. 

Thank you for the infinite oneness we all share, may each person feel the loving connection to you and others today and not feel alone in this world.  Thank you for the joy that you bring to our lives so that each day can be filled with happiness and laughter.  Thank you for the wisdom that helps guide our lives so that it is filled with mercy, grace and compassion for ourselves and all others.  In gratitude, we thank you for every blessing in every area of our lives, today and always.  Amen!

Thank you for all of your love, laughter & friendship today and always!  We appeciate each and every one of you, for the special sparkling light that you are and the gift that you bring to our lives! 

Happy Thanksgiving!

Gratitude Exercise for Thanksgiving

Bowl of Crystals

Would you like a fun exercise to express your gratitude at Thanksgiving?  This is a fun, new way to share what you are grateful for when gathered around the table for Thanksgiving.  It is quick and easy to prepare and doesn’t require a lot of supplies.  The exercise provides a great way to increase bonding and an increased understanding of abundance and gratitude in our every day lives.

 Supplies:

• Wine Goblet
• Crystals, Stones, Pebbles, Marbles, Coins
• Pitcher to pour water (maybe colored with food coloring)
• Plate or bowl for overflow of water

 Preparation Steps: 

1.  Test to see how many stones your goblet will need to overflow with blessings (water).  When I had performed this exercise in a group of 7, it took about 10-12 stones for each person in a wine goblet. The larger your party, the fewer stones each person will need to take.
2. The stones should be of varying sizes and shapes to provide interest.  Any color will do.  When I had performed this exercise with a group, I used mostly clear crystals with some darker colored ones thrown in.  The clear crystals represented all of the blessings we don’t always see in our lives, smaller crystals the small drops of happiness and darker crystals were easily seen or large blessings in our lives.
3. The goal of the exercise is to place as many stones into the goblet until the water overflows.  In a group of 5-6, that will take about 10-12 blessings a piece.  Larger groups may not need to take as many stones or if you have larger stones, it may take fewer blessings being shared. 

 Day of Exercise:

 Place the empty goblet into the overflow bowl and have the filled water pitcher and bowl of stones ready. 

 Say a few words to your family and friends gathered around the table to explain the exercise: 

 For example:  At this time of Thanksgiving, let us share the blessings we have received over the past year and express our gratitude for everything that is positive in our lives.  Within this pitcher is the water of life.  This water flows through each one of us and surrounds our lives in blessings of prosperity and abundance.  Watch as I pour the water of life into the goblet.  Some of you may say that the cup is half empty; others of you may say that the goblet is half full.  However, when we all share our blessings together, you may notice that all of our cups are overflowing with blessings of prosperity and abundance.  Please take 10-12 stones from the bowl as it is passed around. 

As the bowl is passed, you may explain the different types of blessings, by having some clear stones, small stones and colored stones for you to place in the cup. 

 Place a clear stone in the goblet:  Many times blessings fill our life’s cup and we hardly notice that they are there.  This could be a blessing of the sunshine, a safe commute to work or a smile on a loved one’s face. 

• Place a small stone in the cup:  other times we may feel that the blessings we receive are so small, they are hardly worth counting at all.  Though even with how tiny this blessing is, it raises the level of joy in our lives.
• Place the dark colored stone in the goblet:  other times, blessings are easy to see like this dark stone.  Such as a new job, a new car or a new friend in our lives. 

 

Speech to start sharing:  At this time, let us go around the circle and share one blessing at a time.  Together our blessings will overflow the cup with the water of life until we see the infinite blessings of abundance and prosperity in our lives.

One at a time, we will share what we are thankful for, what blessings we have received this last year and what we are grateful.  It doesn’t matter if someone else shared a similar blessing.  What matters is how much the blessing means to you.

 Continue to share until either, everyone’s stones are placed in or around the goblet or until the water has overflowed.  If your group gets into sharing, continue until no further blessings can be found. 

 Once the cup has overflowed, offer thanks and gratitude for all of the blessings you have received, share a prayer of thanksgiving and gratitude.  Acknowledge that in the future you will continue to receive infinite prosperity and abundance in all of your lives.

 Simple gratitude prayer:

 We lift up our praise for all of the infinite blessings of abundance and prosperity we have received in our lives.  We are grateful for every day that is filled with love, joy and peace.  We feel honored that we will continue to receive all that we need every day of our lives.  We are grateful for the infinite abundance and prosperity that surrounds us every moment of every day.  Amen.

Happy 2nd Anniversary!

First Dance on the Beach

Happy 2nd Anniversay to my dear husband, may we walk through life with infinite love, abundance and joy always!

Two years ago, today, at 11am we were married on the beach in Key West, Florida with family and friends.  What a beautiful day it was on the beach.  Thank you for two amazing years, filled with adventure, joy and romance.  Thank you for sharing your precious love with me and walking this path with me.  Your unconditional love blesses me every day in so many ways and brings peace to my heart.  I love you, Donald, and am so happy we are walking this journey as one together.  Happy Anniversary!
