Revealed

This is your card reading for Thursday, January 5th/17.  Your card today spun out of the 'Path of the Soul' fractal art deck, authored by Cheryl Lee Harnish.  Your card is 'Revealed', and Cheryl Lee's message for the card is this:
"Do you know how beautiful you truly are?  It is time to stop hiding from the world.  The Universe is calling you.  You have so much to offer, so much to give.  This card is a reminder for you to see who and what you truly are.  You are a part of the One.  You are beautiful and perfect in every way.
When you hide yourself you are withholding, not only your energy--but your Love.  Love for yourself and Love for others.  Embrace yourself and all your quirks---we all have them! Let yourself be free. Let yourself shine."

My message for you today is this:
This is EXACTLY what 2017 is about!  Last year was about letting go of and moving through any real and perceived obstacles to being the fullest expression of WHO you came here to be and HOW you are meant to share that.  In this year, you will be called to action in moving forward with that and in revealing your authentic self and the gifts and talents that you incarnated with to bless the world.  
Does this mean that this path will always be smooth with no bumps or turns or even the occasional red light?  No!!! There are always going to be times where we are challenged with the need to recalibrate, reevaluate, and perhaps restructure the HOW of moving forward.  That's what keeps life interesting and interactive!  The difference NOW is that you KNOW that you have come to a place where keeping yourself small and hidden is simply no longer an option.  That is why I believe I was given the phrase 'courageous expression' as the theme for this upcoming year.  Oftentimes, it requires courage to be vulnerable enough to be truly SEEN, and to express that which comes from the deepest part of you---your Soul! It takes courage to EXPRESS, rather than to REPRESS the unique gifts that only you hold--as so many of us have been doing for much of your lives, for fear of judgment, and even recrimination.   I personally, have definite plans for self-expression this year that I am both excited and joyful about, yet also somewhat apprehensive about...but I KNOW that I must move forward with these plans. I had some valuable (and sometimes painful) lessons, especially in late 2015 and 2016, that helped bring me to this place, and I am grateful for the learnings.
How is YOUR Soul calling to be revealed?  It's time to take steps (even if they are baby steps right now) in that direction.  When you think of doing so as sharing the Love you came here to share---as Cheryl Lee advises in her message for us today---it helps to lend you the courage to be revealed.  Shine your Light...it's what you came here to do!
Blessed be...
