Crystal

This is your card reading for Monday, May 2nd/16 (May? Already?).  Your card today bolted out of the 'Messages From Your Angels' deck, authored by Doreen Virtue.  Each card in this deck is aligned with an angel, who is the title of the card. Your card today is 'Crystal', and Doreen's (and the angel, Crystal's) message is this:
"Have faith and hope, because there is something positive and new on the horizon that you can't yet see...
ADDITIONAL MESSAGE:  The seeds that you have planted are beginning to sprout results. You may not even be aware of these results, however, since they are in their infancy.  Now it is more important that ever to stay positive, and to hold a clear vision of your desire and intention.  Avoid skeptics or those with negative mind-sets.
Daily action---even if it only consists of baby steps---toward the fruition of your dream is essential.  A phone call, a letter, or reading relevant material will keep the energy of your manifestation at a high level.  Every day, positively affirm that you have already achieved or exceeded your dream.  And most important, ask for angelic assistance every step of the way."

My message for you today is this:
Don't you find it incredible that we are already in the month of May???  Time seems to be truly flying!  
And, as the angel Crystal shares with us, we HAVE been planting seeds that will serve our Soul moving forward...you are being reminded today to have FAITH that that which you have sown, is now germinating. Despite how things may CURRENTLY look, know that your faith in what you have sown, and the guided steps you take toward it, will bring it into being. (As I type this message, I can't help but think about how I am literally going to be planting some shrubs and seeds in our yard today, in preparation for our daughter's wedding celebration here this summer, and how I must hold faith that everything will bloom and grow as I now envision it!) 
Today is indeed a day to 'hold and trust in your vision', whatever that may be---perhaps you are holding multiple visions regarding different aspects of your life; such as relationship, health, career, etc.  This is a day to have faith in the Universe and faith in YOURSELF.  We are currently in a very expansive energy. You've no doubt heard the quote "That which you focus upon expands."  That is so very true.  Focus upon what you WANT to happen, and brush aside your doubts and fears. Don't DENY your doubts and fears---acknowledge them (you wouldn't be human if they didn't creep into your consciousness occasionally) and then place your attention upon what it is you desire to experience...

...OK...just like last week...as I was typing your message, Spirit interrupted me.  My cell phone rang and it was someone who had been referred to me as a teacher of accessing the Akashic Records.  This is a synchronicity that I just have to share with you, because it SO speaks to your message today!  Due to current life circumstances, which are 'happily hectic' with our family; I have had to set aside for a time, teaching my courses, and have even had little opportunity to do Akashic Records Consultations for clients---both of which have been such Soulful, joyful parts of my life.  So, now, with this phone call from someone about my 'Empowering Yourself Through the Akashic Records' course; the 'seed has been planted' for my teaching that course early this Fall, when our family situation is less hectic.  As stated in the message above---just prior to my receiving the phone call---"Today is indeed a day to hold and trust in your vision".  Despite the indisputable fact that, at this moment, I simply do not have the time or circumstances to teach; I have now been reminded to hold the vision that it will happen in the near future, and will set aside my concerns about if or when it was going to happen! In light of some recent experiences, I can actually understand why Spirit has placed my teaching on a 'hiatus', because of some very important personal learnings I have undergone and can now bring to my teaching.  So, rather than residing in frustration that I have not had opportunity to teach, I can see the bigger plan that the Universe held. 
Crazy how the Universe has presented a 'message within the message' at times these last couple of weeks!  Obviously I am meant to give you a concrete example from my own experience to illustrate what Spirit is sharing with you! 
Blessed be...
