I captured the image above a few weeks ago while exploring beautiful Oregon. I was mesmerized at the magnificence by the light creating sunrays through the clouds. “God sure has an amazing hand in our Universe,” I thought to myself while soaking in the euphoria. And just when I thought this moment couldn’t get any better another natural marvel surprised me shortly after. An image of a rainbow in its full glory presented itself right before my eyes (image below). I pulled the car over to re-soak another exhilarating moment. Nature sure has a way of driving life’s stress and pressure out of the body, mind and soul.

I invite you to take a moment out of your busy life and connect with some aspect of nature. Go for a walk, take a drive or simply slow down once in awhile and look out your window. Immerse yourself in grace. Gift yourself some moments in nature and connect with your soul through observing God’s beautiful canvas.

Namaste Sweet Angels

There are certain times and moments in our lives that come to pass when we must cross a bridge to get to the other side of an experience, an issue, a situation or simply another aspect of our life. These moments are not intended to create chaos or misdirection, on the contrary, the intention and good will is to help our soul see things from a diverse perspective, a new point of view. Life crossings are intended to help us enrich our growth, to allow our soul to mature and to help us evolve into sacred spiritual enlightenment.

As we come upon bridges that we must cross in life the new paradigm allows us to view and feel life in a way that is different from how and what we usually view and feel. Life is about changes; it’s about new experiences. It’s about moving to a new and deeper level of spirit so that the soul can radiate in wisdom. After all, the soul’s journey is about reaching for the stars and arriving at its brightest spark.

What would it be like in life if things always stayed the same? If the colors that shine in a season never changed? How would we feel if the soul never experienced the true significance of joy? The shifts and changes that occur in life create and allow the heart to open to a new and glorious endeavor. By crossing bridges in life it leads us to fresh and invigorating means of breathing. It’s a grand gift from the universe.

Take a moment and ask yourself what issue, situation, or simply aspect of your life needs a bridge to be crossed? What in your soul wishes a different point of view? How can you shift certain energies to bring a greater sense of peace, joy and harmony in your world? This year is about moving from the old and bringing in the new. We’re 3 months into the year and already we feel the shifts upon us. The initial steps across the bridge are being made.

Give yourself permission to move through your voyage in life by releasing, surrendering and crossing the bridges to a new light, a new understanding, a new look at situations or experiences in your life that deserve a greater perspective. Begin a new passage of your soul today. Review, refresh, and rejuvenate. We’re discovering a rebirthing taking affect. Join the metamorphosis. You are crossing the bridge and becoming your own butterfly ~ fly.

 As a gift to yourself and the world, place your hand over your heart and invite the light of love and peace to move through you. Envision sending this light and compassionately wrapping around humankind and Mother Earth. Allow the collective force to enlighten all that choose to accept it and send healing for those that may be in need. Calm your mind and center on the stillness of peace. Breathe in a golden hue of love and like a ribbon being strewn let it rejuvenate life within and around you. Inviting it to go wherever it needs and is guided to.

This is the New Light and Energy that you are meant to live in, envelope in. It is time to celebrate your rebirthing and honor the path you have created. You are a part of this grand source of oneness that longs to reconnect with life. May you see yourself in the light that shines as bright as the guided star. For you have come to see your beauty, your warmth, your soul. You are a gift to the world.

Have you been feeling the wave? We’re on it. Ride smooth…

Keep your awareness high

Pay attention to your needs

Listen to your inner “KNOWING”

Thread lightly and allow yourself some R&R

Bring lightness into your energy field

Keep your mind clear

Observe your world

Move with grace and be kind to your space

Be at ease

PEACE is within you

TRUST

How do we survive these strange, turbulent, unexpected and continuous highs and lows that never seem to end these days? I’ll share what I learned today: gratitude. Accepting pain, difficulties and challenges by being grateful brings a different perspective of the situation, experience and process; not to mention shed’s a beautiful lightness upon it.

Why fight the inevitable? Why stress and strain, worry and fear not, or fall apart at the seams? It’s just not worth it. A lesson I have learned is to get over the pain and suffering and turmoil I create for myself. After all, what we send out is what we get back. And, in a nutshell, that’s the law of the universe. I have worked hard to accept this fact because living life is the greatest gift of all. Yet, some of us still wonder if it really is… It is a tremendous help to our perception to remember that no matter what we, or someone we love, might be going through, it is all simply something we have created in one way or another, as that is how the Universe works.

We are co-creators, here to create and attract exactly what we have asked for. It’s a game. And until we master it, it might very well seem like a naughty game, as well as one that gets tiresome. Most of us are so over being exhausted from life, and we are begging for answers and help. Personally, I’ve been learning to take my power back…and then I think, did I ever give it away, and if so, to whom? Or what? And where did it go? The questions, ah the continuous questions… Then I remember the simplicity of trust and being.

Let it be. Allow and simply accept. It’s a work in progress…and one I have chosen. Thus resulting in slowly finding more peace and harmony, no matter what. A tough task, you bet…but one that slowly dissolves the more challenging life becomes. Why? It must. That is the process of life: experiencing and allowing. It’s all about the present moment, about living life in the here and now. What a ride!

I recently experienced a huge energy block created by my ego, one that I have to accept with love and peace and patience. I believe and trust in my higher self, and that is enough. It’s all I need.

I invite you to recognize any pain or heartache, or issue, or tricky situation you might be experiencing with love and kindness. See where it brings you in life? Even I have learned by the powerful force of gratitude. You may find it quite surprising and recognize a part of you that you might have never seen.

What a gift you are to this life!

Have you ever had one of those moments where you’re mind continually goes back to something over and over? Perhaps to get your attention or help you receive an important message. Well, that’s what has been happening with me regarding this month’s blog. I read an article a client referred relating to rebirthing and how our world is shifting through this process. I found it incredibly interesting and wanted to share it with you.

It’s the July forecast and the topic is about REBIRTH. I am a firm believer in divine order and have truly been practicing learning to Know and Trust my divine path. It has been a grand journey. One that has not only challenged my humanness but solidified my faith in my spiritual world. I truly look forward to more divine magic in my life. Enjoy Sweet Angels.

Today, I remind myself of something often heard. It is simple, yet important. And it’s that we never stop learning.

I’ve been watching Oprah’s farewell season, and the last few shows have included not one but two shows of James Frey, the author of A Million Little Pieces who for those of you who are unfamiliar was caught in a huge mistake of distrust by authoring a non-truthful memoir. After James’ deceit brought him to his knees, Oprah invited him to come back on her show. A show that James thought was about redemption, but instead, he ended up receiving a back lashing from Oprah. After the show, James was gifted a painting titled, “Public Stoning.” At the time I thought it was all an interesting play out of events, but I did not really *see* what was happening. Why? I was too busy sitting in my own comfort doing exactly what Oprah had been lashed for doing: sitting in judgment.

After that show Oprah received a call from renowned spiritual teacher, Marianne Williamson, who happened to ask Oprah something along the lines of, “Who do you think you are? And who are you to be the judge of his mistakes?”

It took Oprah 3 years before she’d re-invited James to be on her show to clear the air and apologize. And there I was again sitting in judgment of his reactions, demeanor, and words before something made me stop. Stunned at myself, I started to cry, and I heard myself say, “Where is my compassion?” A few moments later, I gathered myself and released my ego thinking as I quieted my mind’s loveless behavior. Relaxed, I was able to shift my energy before I started watching part two of Oprah’s show with James on it. And wow, what a wake up call! My compassion flooded back, and I realized how human James truly is (and how human we all are). In a nutshell, he learned from a great lesson he sincerely recognizes was his undoing to redoing of who he is today. During this segment, Oprah expressed how sorry she was for what she had done and shared that she had also learned a great lesson. She admitted that she had come from her ego instead of from a place of compassion, and that the world was correct about her not seeing how viciously she came at James the show from years past. It was clear that Oprah was truly sorry for her actions.

It’s funny how our thoughts and responses can drastically shift like that, and it teaches us that things are not always as they appear. The harsh, difficult and most frustrating lessons we create are manifested to teach us something. And the lesson is often that we are all here to grow, and to learn to truly love ourselves.

Thanks to those particular Oprah shows, I was reminded how vitally important it is for us to remember compassion. The lesson certainly wasn’t about how important it is for me to judge others. It was about me remembering to quiet and cease all judgment. To presume another’s mistakes are greater than our own is a trap of the ego.

As a spiritual being having a human experience, I will make errors. And no matter how great or small, they are painful, but only enough to help wake me up to see my truth, which is to not just see but to feel my light; the lightness that comes when we see the love in everything and everyone! No matter what!

PASS THE BISCUITS – author unknown

When I was a kid, my mom liked to make breakfast food for dinner every now and then.  And I remember one night in particular when she had made breakfast after a long, hard day at work.  On that evening so long ago, my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage, and extremely burned biscuits in front of my dad.  I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed!  Yet all my dad did was reach for his Biscuit, smile at my mom and ask me how my day was at school.

I don’t remember what I told him that night, but I do remember hearing my mom apologize to my dad for burning the biscuits.  And I’ll never forget what he said:  “Honey, I love burned biscuits.”

Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night and I asked him if he really liked his biscuits burned.  He wrapped me in his arms and said, “Your momma put in a long hard day at work today and she’s real tired.  And besides… a burnt biscuit never hurt anyone!”

You know, life is full of imperfect things… and imperfect people.  I’m not the best at hardly anything, and I forget birthdays and anniversaries just like everyone else.  What I’ve learned over the years is that learning to accept each others faults and choosing to celebrate each others differences, is one of the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing, and lasting relationship. 

 Happy Valentines Day!

Simple reminders from our Angels…

When in need, place hand over heart and reconnect with your SELF. 

Feel the love and light move through your body, mind and soul. Envelope.

Before you fall asleep at night, visualize the world encompassed in radiant peace.

~ Breathe in harmony ~

 KISS

Keep it simple sweet

Gift yourself a heart’s promise

Follow your dreams

Treat yourself today, and all days of your life

Smile

Your presence is a gift to the world.

Enjoy the present ~
