Celebration

Your card today is drawn from the 'Healing With Your Angels' deck, authored by Doreen Virtue.  Your card is the 'Celebration' card, and Doreen's message for the card is this:
"The angels want you to know that this is a light-filled time in your life.  You have been working toward making changes, and your intentions have now manifested into form. This is the time for you to fill your heart with a warm feeling of gratitude.  The angels ask you, through this card, to hold strong in this gratitude.  You are like a gardener who plants seeds and nurtures them because she has faith that her labours will yield new growth.  Keep watering and tending to your seeds, and you will soon see them sprouting through the surface.  The angels are your co-gardeners, who help you tend your crop."

My message for you today is this:
TODAY'S MESSAGE IS DEDICATED WITH LOVE TO MY DEAR FRIEND, PATTI, WHO IS OFF ON A SPIRITUAL ADVENTURE...I AM SO EXCITED FOR HER! 
LOVE AND LIGHT AND BLESSINGS TO YOU, MY FRIEND!
Once again, the Universe amazes me with how the messages are brought forth!  I had already decided to take the photo of today's card with my beautiful Smoky Quartz and the 'growing grass' bowl that is here in my office...I had them all set up, with the angel card holder in place, just waiting for the card to be revealed.  The 'Celebration' card flew out of the deck; Doreen's message makes reference to planting seeds, etc.; and there is the growing grass in the photo!  Validation that the Universe desires to work with us!  
Of course, my friend, Patti, is on my mind as she flies out to England and then Ireland today, and I just knew that the 'Celebration' card definitely held a message for her (and, as always, for anyone who is guided to read this today, also)!  Your messages all week have been about self-empowerment, holding intention, knowing that you are supported by the Divine as you seek to manifest your desired outcomes...  What a perfect way to close out your messages this week with the 'Celebration' card!  When we celebrate we are expressing deep gratitude.  The Universe loves gratitude, and when you are in the energy of gratitude, you are also very strongly in the energy of receiving!  You can be grateful for what you know is coming into your life, and in so doing, create the space to fully receive it!  This is a powerful knowing!  Gratitude is such a key component to manifestation!  To reside in gratitude allows that which you desire to flow to you with ease and grace...when you try to 'force' something, you actually stymie the flow. Celebrate where you are right now on your journey.  Give gratitude for where you are right now, then celebrate yourself and the courage and faith you are demonstrating by stepping outside your comfort zone into the potential of all that you are.  Know that there is always cause for celebration and gratitude, because your spiritual journey never really 'ends'...you are constantly in a state of spiritual evolution.  Your life purpose is really just to continue to 'grow your Soul' and to express the very best of your beautiful, unique self out into the world. THAT is definitely cause for celebration!!!
Blessed be...
