Oceana

This is your card reading for Friday, November 26th/15.  Your card pitched out of the 'Messages From Your Angels' deck, right onto the floor! This deck was authored by Doreen Virtue.  Your card today is 'Oceana', and Doreen's message for the card is this:
"Take action.  You're in touch with your truth in this situation, and you need to trust your gut and lovingly assert yourself...
Dive right in! There's no need for more research or time.  You can trust your feelings on this one.  I will guide you through the actions that are necessary, considering the circumstances. Your main concern is to avoid procrastination at all costs.  Break the situation down into small steps so that you don't become overwhelmed.  Then, take those steps in regular intervals.
You already know what to do about this situation, and you have made up your mind to take action.  I am here to validate that your decision is on the path of Light.  Although there might be some temporary or emotional turmoil, this will soon be replaced by a lightness of spirit akin to gently floating on a summer breeze.
Sometimes you may feel too emotional or tired to take action.  That is because you're unsure of the 'correctness' of your decisions.  Usually, unfounded guilt is the culprit that is draining your energy and happiness.  This is when it's very important to call upon the angels to shore up your faith.  Notice how the doors open smoothly with each step you take.  That is one more sign that you're taking the best course of action."

My message for you today is this:
We are heading into a traditionally 'busy' time of year...the Christmas season.  This is also the close of a calendar year and the lead in to the next calendar year; wherein we naturally begin to evaluate what we have accomplished over the past year and if we have met our goals.  It is very easy at this time of year to drop into a state of 'overwhelm' as we become inundated with 'to do lists' and goals that have not come to fruition.  I have frankly, been finding myself doing just that!  2014 has absolutely been a year of ACTION for our family! Both of our 'children' ( 29 and 27 years old!) and their spouses have moved back to Canada from Brazil; it was decided that we would host our daughter and son-in-law's wedding celebration here on our farm next July, and so we have become 'inspired' to take on several projects here on the farm that had long been on the to-do list, but now take priority (such as tearing down old decrepit farm buildings on the original farm site, and building structures for the wedding celebration).   Our kids also arrived home with their dogs...one of them a 9 month old pup.  Our first grandchild blessed our lives in August of this year and changed everything in the most beautiful way!  Add to that the ongoing wedding plans and preparation aside from building and 'unbuilding' outdoor structures...  So our household has been happily chaotic with all the changes that abound at this time.  
A friend posted on Facebook the other day that she had completed her Christmas shopping and THAT threw me into an absolute panic!  Yikes!  I AM that person, typically, who has her Christmas shopping done by this time, but not this year! 
Also, I have been judging myself about not having dedicated any time of late to a project that I began earlier in the year that is very close to my heart and that is absolutely soul based.  Yet, when I list here all that has been going on, that self-judgment is crazy!  
I share this with you as an example of how even the best laid plans can take on a life of their own, and our means of being of the Light at these times is to take an objective look at what actions we CAN take at this moment, rather than to become overwhelmed with the steps we feel we need to take.  
Our children moving back to Canada from Brazil has been my heart's desire---I can decide to consciously choose to reside in gratitude that it has transpired sooner than any of us had anticipated and relish in this time together and our family preparations for the wedding next year; or I can waste this time feeling guilty about other projects that I believed would have come to fruition by now.  I SO appreciate Doreen's message from the angel Oceana, "I will guide you through the actions that are necessary, considering the circumstances."   I LOVE gift shopping and wrapping and am usually 'ahead of the game' in that regard.  That will likely not be my circumstance this year, but I will have all of my kids home here in Canada for Christmas and will be supporting them in making the transition to their lives back here in Canada---as my brother-in-law said to me, "Dreams do come true!"
Choose to take a CONSCIOUS look at what is going on around you and at what you can reasonably expect of yourself in checking off your 'to do' list.  Look back at ALL that you have accomplished in 2015, and do not allow unfounded guilt about what you perceive that you 'didn't accomplish' hold you back from moving forward in a positive way with what you can and WILL accomplish!  Shift your focus!  Focus upon ALL that you have accomplished and achieved as we move toward the close of this calendar year, and notice how acknowledging that inspires, rather than deters, you from moving forward.  Ask Oceana to assist you with this.
Blessed be...
