Believe ~ St. Hildegard of Bingen

Your card today is drawn from the 'Saints & Angels' deck, authored by Doreen Virtue.  Your card is the 'Believe ~ St. Hildegard of Bingen' card. Doreen tells us this about St. Hildegard:
"This Saint overcame tremendous self-doubt and became a multitalented author, musician, and healer.  This was especially remarkable, considering that women in her era (1098-1179) weren't expected to accomplish worldly deeds.  Born the tenth child in her family, she was sent to live in a convent in order to reduce her parents' financial burdens. Hildegard began having spiritual visions as a young child, and she was eventually called upon to write books about them.  She overcame tremendous self-doubt about her literary skills and later wrote: 'But although I heard and saw these things, because of doubt and low opinion of myself and because of diverse sayings of men, I refused for a long time a call to write.'  St. Hildegard is also known for orchestrating rich musical chants and for her two books on bringing about physical health by using items found in nature."
Doreen's message for the card is this:
"To heal and improve this situation, it's important for you to believe...You ARE qualified.  You ARE ready and prepared.  You CAN do it."

My message for you today is this:
As I am not familiar with this Saint, I simply shared Doreen's description of her from the guidebook that accompanies this card deck.  Unbelievable that Hildegard lived for 82 years at that time in the world!  What a dynamic person!  She has stepped forward for you today to encourage you to believe in yourself!  Whenever you drop into doubt about whether you've 'got what it takes' to express yourself out into the world, call upon St. Hildegard.  As a Saint, she has made the commitment to assist those of us here in striving to reach our greatest potential.  It takes faith and courage to express yourself despite your self-doubt, and rest assured EVERYONE encounters moments of self-doubt!  If you focus on coming from a 'heart-centred place of service' and see your expressions as the manifestation of your Soul purpose, it will be easier to step out from behind your fear and self-doubt. St. Hildegard will assist and support you in doing just that!  If you resist sharing that which you are meant to share, you rob the world of that gift which the Divine gave to you for a reason!
Shine your Light!  I dare you!
Blessed be...
