Truth

This morning we traveled up to the historic monastery here in Vila Velha to take in the sunrise from this amazing viewpoint.  Housed within this building was a beautiful monument of Mother Mary, so I chose the 'Mary, Queen of Angels' card deck for your reading today. Your card is the 'Truth' card, and Doreen's message for the card is this:
"I am lovingly honest with myself and others."

My message for you today is this:
Mother Mary's maternal energy is stepping forward for you today to remind you that it is important to begin with being truthful with yourself and then to lovingly express that truth when sharing with others. 
Is there an aspect of your life (the very first thing that comes to mind, without over-thinking) where you need to be more truthful with yourself?  Allow yourself to be vulnerable enough to admit and acknowledge your true feelings about the situation that comes to mind.  The upcoming energy of Mercury retrograde is the perfect energy to bring just such issues to the Light, so that you can move forward in a positive way, rather than from the stance of denial. 
It is truly human nature that when more than one person views the exact same incident, each will run the experience through their own 'personal filters' which have been created due to their unique life experiences, and so each account will differ in some ways from the other. Mother Mary is asking you to strive to see the situation that came to mind for you from the perspective of your Higher Self, where the personal filters are removed somewhat and the actual 'truth' is revealed more clearly to you. This will assist you in finding the ultimate solution or perspective for the greater good of all.
Mother Mary also reminds us that there is a loving way to express our truth to others, and that standing firmly in your truth need not come from an aggressive stance, but simply from  a self-empowered position.  Your 'truth' will be more readily received by another when expressed from a position of Love, rather than aggression and seeking to force your Truth upon another.  
Blessed be...
