Believing in Magic & Exceeding Expectations

Your cards today jumped out of the 'Gateway Oracle Cards' deck, authored by Denise Linn.  I have had the privilege of spending time with Denise and having had her share her learnings...once at the 'Divine Wisdom' conference in February/13 in Scottsdale, AZ and then at the 'Celebrate Your Life' conference in Sedona, AZ in November/13.  She is a beautiful Soul, who is approachable, accessible and very loving and humble, while being a strong spiritual messenger at the same time!  My friend, Patti, took in the full day post-conference seminar with Denise and I know that she found it to be a powerful experience!
(I will post a picture of us with Denise on my 'Blog & Events' page).  
Two cards leapt out of the deck together today...the 'Believing in Magic' card, and the 'Exceeding Expectations' card.  As always, when this happens, the two cards are completely complimentary to each other and enhance the message being brought to you today. Denise's messages for the cards are as follows:
'Believing in Magic' ~
"True magic is abounding in my life!  It is indeed a magical Universe.  Spiritual dimensions and mystical realms are only a thought away.  The key to opening these doors is to trust in something you cannot see or hear.  You can have doubts yet still believe in a vast and mysterious universe, where signs, symbols, and coincidences reveal secret messages. Even if your faith is the size of a mustard seed, magic CAN abound.  Believe!"
'Exceeding Expectations' ~
"I soar into excellence!  This is the time to dream big and stretch yourself.  Exceed your own expectations...and definitely the expectations that others have of you.  Envisage that in the days ahead, you will be stepping beyond what others anticipate for you, and so it shall be. You may have been playing small, but now is your chance to dream big.  Expect miracles. Believe that the best will occur for you, and it will.  Make plans---big plans---for the future.  Do not act as if you are inadequate in order to make others feel secure.  In the months ahead, you'll be exceeding inner and outer expectations.  Get ready to fly!"

My message for you today is this:
We are moving toward a NEW MOON on JANUARY 1st/14...WOW!!!  WHAT AN AWESOME OPPORTUNITY FOR MANIFESTATION!!!!  I have spoken here before about the full moon being great energically to support us in 'releasement' and the new moon being great energetically in supporting us in 'manifestation'.   In 2014, the new moon falls on the first day of a new year, when people traditionally set their 'new years resolutions' and we have a powerful new moon ON THAT DAY to assist us with it's strong manifestation energy!
January will be a great month for being clear about what it is that you want to pull into your life experience, because there will be another new moon on January 30th also!  Can you feel it?  In 2013 you were compelled and propelled to step out of old patterns and ways of being in order to step more authentically onto your spiritual path...that felt pretty chaotic and uncomfortable at times, didn't it?  But you have done a great deal of the work in that regard, and you have gone 'within' to be REAL about your PERSONAL relationship with the Divine.
THE VEIL IS THINNING  and that is a beautiful thing for we, as individuals and as a society, yet, whenever you shake up the 'status quo' there are moments of resistance and adjustment and that was absolutely the experience for many in 2013.  Your message today is to first of all believe in the magic of the Universe and all the potentiality and possibilities available to you!  You are then being asked, as we move toward the new moon on January 1st, to take the time to 'go within' and dream the biggest dream for yourself!  Do not be shy!  It is NOT in EGO to shine your LIGHT!  You have your own unique contribution to make in bringing Light to the world!  Be brave and set your sights high...begin by asking 'How may I serve?' and then DO NOT FILTER THROUGH YOUR MIND THE THOUGHTS THAT COME TO YOU...RATHER, FILTER THOSE THOUGHTS THROUGH YOUR HEART.  Believe in the magic of the Universe that supports you...  Spend some time being clear within yourself that you intend to shine your Light and utilize the amazing manifestation energy of this upcoming new moon on January 1st to assist you in your creation.  There is NO COINCIDENCE, and the fact that the first new moon of 2014 falls on January 1st is a Divine gift to you, so take it, and soar with it, because in that way you are honoring the Divine!  I am sooo excited for you!
Blessed be...
