Creative Writing

This is your card reading for Wednesday, July 29th/16.  Your card bolted out of the 'Archangel' deck, authored by Doreen Virtue.  Your card is 'Creative Writing', and Doreen's message for the card is this:
"Archangel Gabriel:  Make time to write down your thoughts in a journal, or pen an article or book...
ADDITIONAL MESSAGE:  Your soul longs for creative expression through writing.  I can help you schedule this activity. Honor any inner nudges that guide you to write.  The writing may be for your own enjoyment, or may be a cathartic experience of self-expression in a private journal.  As you work with your connection to the written word, you may receive Divine guidance to write articles or books for publication.  Call upon me at any time to guide you through this process."

My message for you today is this:
I personally 'see' Archangel Gabriel as feminine in form and therefore refer to this Archangel as Archangel 'Gabrielle' (the feminine version of the name).  Regardless of whether you experience this Archangel as masculine or feminine, the name means 'messenger of God'. As I have often said here, Archangels are Light Beings, who have never been in physical form.  They present to us with a certain physique, because we are here in the physical and so we can better relate to them in that way.  There is no 'right' or 'wrong' way to interpret this beautiful Divine energy that is a gift from the Creator in helping us to best navigate this human experience!  Yet, each Archangel DOES hold a certain unique vibration and 'theme' that they are aligned with.  Archangel Gabrielle is often referred to as the 'communication angel'.  Many experience her aura as copper in colour and a crystal said to resonate well with her energy is Citrine.  
Today, her message for you is in regards to written communication.  It is no 'coincidence' that journalling came up for you in your reading a couple of days ago, either.  Journalling and writing are powerful means of 'sorting through' and 'anchoring' in, thoughts and feelings from your Higher Self and the Divine.  The journal pictured with your card today was gifted to me by a dear friend, who understands my LOVE of writing.  The cover says 'Creativity Takes Courage', and that is so true...it requires being vulnerable, which is the most courageous thing that we can ever do. The energies of the day are conducive to getting clear about what your talents and abilities and aptitudes are by recognizing what you are intrinsically GOOD at.  Automatic writing (merely sitting and allowing 'whatever' comes to mind to be written down); journalling; and consciously creating lists or 'action plans'; are all being supported and encouraged for you today.  Archangel Gabrielle will assist you, but remember that---due to the Law of Free Will---you must ask for this assistance.  At times, we get frustrated that 'our prayers are not being answered' in the time and manner that we would wish.  Or that the Angels are really not hearing our prayers or requests for assistance. Odd, isn't it, that one of the most challenging writing assignments can be to write about and list what we are GREAT at?  We could easily sit and rattle off all that we perceive we need to improve upon.  But, ask us to write about what we ROCK AT, and we become reticent and struggle to come up with responses, even when we know that we will be the only ones seeing what we have written!  Well...the Universe and the Divine is letting you know that it's time to shift that up!!!  OWN your talents and abilities. If you can't even acknowledge your awesomeness to yourself, how can you expect others to?  As Elizabeth Peru says, "You are the one directing your life path.  The universe and all spiritual forces work on your command."  So...utilize the tool of creative writing to get clear within yourself about just what it is that you 'command'.  Archangel Gabrielle will guide and support you in doing so, if you request it.  I have always held the belief that 'words have power'---utilize the power of the written word today to promote yourself in all ways!
Blessed be...
