Commitment & Power

Here we go!!! New Years Eve and the day before the Super New Moon on January 1st/14!!!
Can you feel the new moon energy already?  On that note, I was guided to choose from 2 decks for your reading today, and when I saw the 2 cards that literally dropped out onto the floor from each deck, and how they complimented and supported each other, I understood why I had been guided to do so!  Your first card is drawn from the 'Saints & Angels' deck, authored by Doreen Virtue, and your card is the 'Commitment' card, which is aligned with 'Guardian Angel' energy.  Your second card is drawn from the 'Return of Spirit' fractal art deck, authored by Cheryl Lee Harnish, and your card is the 'Power' card.

Doreen's message for the 'Commitment' card is this:
"Although you may have experienced difficulties or fear, this card is a message from your Guardian Angel to stay committed. Honor your promises to your loved ones, and keep your word to yourself and others.  If you're feeling conflicted about having enough time for your responsibilities, then call upon the angels to help...Remember that you're ultimately in charge of your schedule.  You have the right to say no to requests that pull you away from your commitments.  Your angels can help you when you feel overwhelmed and overcommitted...Your Guardian Angels enfold you with their loving wings and help you enjoy yourself as you accomplish everything on your list."

Cheryl Lee's message for the 'Power' card is this:
"The Power card rules the third chakra, the solar plexus chakra.  This is where we experience our own sense of personal power.  If you have drawn this card today, it is because Spirit is asking you to focus on your own sense of personal power---and claim it. Have you been hiding from your power or afraid to own it?  Have you been feeling powerless or feeling you aren't strong enough?  It's time to focus on your solar plexus, and start to build your sense of personal power.  Sometimes there can be a drain from our solar plexus because we are unintentionally corded to another person---most often in close relationships. This energetic cord runs directly from our third chakra and attaches to the other person.  We unknowingly let others siphon off our power.  This can happen if we are enabling or trying to please someone.  It can also happen if we fear losing the love of that person or if we feel attacked in some way.  It is time for you to look closely at why this has happened to you and to ask your guides and angels to assist you with cutting that cord.  This card also comes if we are in fear of claiming our power; of standing tall and showing the world exactly who we are. Most often, we have had experiences in our early years where we personally witnessed the misuse of power or had someone attempt to diminish our own.  This was in the past though, and you know how power is not to be used.  You also know that not claiming your own power does not serve you.  It's time for you to claim YOU---to claim your life, and claim the fact that you are a powerful, incredible soul."

My message for you today is this:
Another powerful message for you on the heels of your message yesterday, and heading into the new year of new beginnings!  I don't believe that I have ever been guided to use 2 separate decks by 2 different authors for your daily reading, but we are in some magnificent energy right now!  I feel that the message these two cards are bringing to you today is to understand that 2014 is going to be a year where you will be asked to stand in your power and to share your own unique Light with the world and to remain committed to doing just that! There may be challenges, both on your time and your commitment to being your best self, but if you view these challenges as opportunities to 'recalibrate' and 'readjust' you will flow more easily through such situations and circumstances.  I have stated SO many times that standing in your own personal power DOES NOT IMPLY disempowering another!  We are leaving that competitive energy behind as we shift from the 'masculine' way of being into the cooperative, 'feminine' way of being as a society (masculine and feminine do not refer to gender in this instance).  Cheryl Lee referred to our possible past experiences with 'power' and how we learned from those experiences.  We are learning that claiming our own power---our own Light---is empowering to all around us, when we do so with Love.  Presenting the world with your BEST and HIGHEST SELF can only bring good to the world!  The commitment aspect of your message today is reminding you that to make a commitment to something means to make it a priority in your life.  Make standing in your power and shining your own unique Light a priority and commit to striving to do your best to do so.  We live in the physical and we are often pulled in many different directions by the circumstances of life. In those times when you are feeling overwhelmed, call on your guides and angels to assist you with finding your center and standing in your power and having the strength to PRIORITIZE and remain committed to what truly matters to you. 
It is also interesting that Cheryl Lee brought up etheric cords in her message...I recently received an email from a former student asking me some questions about etheric cords...she had read my posting on my 'Blog & Events' page on this site about etheric cords and had further questions.  As I know that there IS NO COINCIDENCE, only SYNCHRONICITY, I feel the need to point out today that it may be important for some of you reading this to go to that posting and read what I have written there about etheric cord cutting. I will be addressing some of Diane's questions in a further posting (thank you, Diane, for taking the time to ask the questions!), though not for a few days, as I will be busy with my own New Moon/New Year ceremonies over the next few days!  Let me say that, due to having been very involved with family and friend gatherings this time of year, etheric cords are prevalent!  If you are energetically sensitive, you may be feeling drained and fatigued, even if you have had your usual amount of rest, or you may be feeling a 'funk' that you know is not yours...  In this case, it is imperative that you take the time to 'cut cords'...check out my posting (you will have to scroll back to find it...I think it may have been posted in May?).  If you already know how to cut etheric cords, then this is your reminder to do so!  We want to enter into the amazing manifestation energy of the New Moon on January 1st all clean and clear and carrying our own energy!!! 
And remember...enter into 2014 with the COMMITMENT to stand in your POWER and to let your LIGHT shine!  Your bless the world by doing so!
Blessed be...

Evolution ~ Herderite

Your card today is drawn from the 'Crystal Ally' card deck, authored by Naisha Aishan.  No surprise that we are beginning this week with a POWERFUL card of transformation!!!  Your card is the 'Evolution' card, which is aligned with the crystal 'Herderite'. Naisha's description of the crystal, Herderite, from her book, 'The Book of Stones', co-authored with Robert Simmons, is this:
"Herderite has come at this time as an extremely powerful tool for the evolution of human beings. While many stones until now have worked on the physical level as well as the spiritual, Herderite's purpose is to aid in making the physical shift to the higher planes...Herderite has surfaced at this time to aid humanity in the evolution of the brain...because of its effect on the brain it naturally stimulates psychic capacities and enhances one's ability to consciously process energetic information.  It has a particularly strong effect on the third-eye and crown chakras because it is so stimulating to these brain areas...It has come to assist humanity in activating areas of the brain that will assist us in integrating more and more high-frequency Light energies...Herderite is uplifting and enlightening..."

Naisha's message for the card is this:
"When Herderite appears as your Ally, you are being asked to acknowledge your part in the total evolution of humanity at this time in history.  Your choices and actions are like a drop in the pool, its ripples affecting everything else around it.  Are your current motions---your thoughts and actions---moving you toward a higher state of evolution?  Or are there ripples of past ways of being that need to be reformed or removed before you can experience your life on a higher level?
As with any Storm element card, Herderite heralds a time of great change.  When Herderite appears, it is telling you that this particular time of change is greatly directed by the thoughts and actions that you take.  You know in your heart the direction Spirit is asking you to move in.  If you accept Spirit's guidance, your actions will cause ripples in the entire fabric of humanity, moving the spiritual evolution of us all forward a step.
Chakra:  Seventh (crown) and etheric chakras
Affirmation:  I allow my physical self to align with my Higher Self now. "

My message for you today is this:
WOW! WOW! WOW!  What a powerful card to drop out of the deck for you as we begin the week and move into the energy of the upcoming New Moon on Wednesday, which falls on January 1st...the first day of the new year...DYNAMIC!  
As I stated many times, in 2013, we were COMPELLED and PROPELLED to step into our authentic selves and to get our feet firmly planted on our spiritual path.  This was due to the energies of the SHIFT, the global shift in consciousness which has been building and made a definite adjustment in December 2012.  Those sensitive to energy felt the chaotic and tumultuous energies that abounded in 2013, while understanding that it was all for 'the greater good' and that we are indeed moving in a 'positive direction'.
Today, as we move toward 2014, you are being reminded of how your personal 'shift' in consciousness...your choosing to live your life more from your 'Higher Self' and in connection with the Divine...is far more impactful than you can even imagine!  Often we do not 'see' how our actions and 'way of being' trickle out to influence others.  DO NOT PLAY SMALL!  YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE!  This is what you are meant to hear today!  Take responsibility for the part that you play and get CLEAR with yourself about how you see yourself contributing to 'the greater good'...you will be asked to make just such a contribution in 2014.  When you 'shine your Light', you anchor more Light into the world and that is so necessary!
In 2013, you did a lot of 'releasement' and letting go of old ways and habits that no longer served you...while this is obviously an ongoing process in our lives, it was a powerful theme for many and most prevalent in 2013.  Now, when you look to 2014, understand that you have done a great deal of 'inner work' and you are now asked to strive to approach your life and relationships from your 'Higher Self', to the best of your ability.  Naisha has presented the energy of Herderite to support you in this...it is not necessary to hold Herderite in your hand to experience the energy...it's energy and support are being offered to you through this reading and the card that came up for you today...   TRUST. ALLOW. BELIEVE. RECEIVE.
Blessed be...

Believing in Magic & Exceeding Expectations

Your cards today jumped out of the 'Gateway Oracle Cards' deck, authored by Denise Linn.  I have had the privilege of spending time with Denise and having had her share her learnings...once at the 'Divine Wisdom' conference in February/13 in Scottsdale, AZ and then at the 'Celebrate Your Life' conference in Sedona, AZ in November/13.  She is a beautiful Soul, who is approachable, accessible and very loving and humble, while being a strong spiritual messenger at the same time!  My friend, Patti, took in the full day post-conference seminar with Denise and I know that she found it to be a powerful experience!
(I will post a picture of us with Denise on my 'Blog & Events' page).  
Two cards leapt out of the deck together today...the 'Believing in Magic' card, and the 'Exceeding Expectations' card.  As always, when this happens, the two cards are completely complimentary to each other and enhance the message being brought to you today. Denise's messages for the cards are as follows:
'Believing in Magic' ~
"True magic is abounding in my life!  It is indeed a magical Universe.  Spiritual dimensions and mystical realms are only a thought away.  The key to opening these doors is to trust in something you cannot see or hear.  You can have doubts yet still believe in a vast and mysterious universe, where signs, symbols, and coincidences reveal secret messages. Even if your faith is the size of a mustard seed, magic CAN abound.  Believe!"
'Exceeding Expectations' ~
"I soar into excellence!  This is the time to dream big and stretch yourself.  Exceed your own expectations...and definitely the expectations that others have of you.  Envisage that in the days ahead, you will be stepping beyond what others anticipate for you, and so it shall be. You may have been playing small, but now is your chance to dream big.  Expect miracles. Believe that the best will occur for you, and it will.  Make plans---big plans---for the future.  Do not act as if you are inadequate in order to make others feel secure.  In the months ahead, you'll be exceeding inner and outer expectations.  Get ready to fly!"

My message for you today is this:
We are moving toward a NEW MOON on JANUARY 1st/14...WOW!!!  WHAT AN AWESOME OPPORTUNITY FOR MANIFESTATION!!!!  I have spoken here before about the full moon being great energically to support us in 'releasement' and the new moon being great energetically in supporting us in 'manifestation'.   In 2014, the new moon falls on the first day of a new year, when people traditionally set their 'new years resolutions' and we have a powerful new moon ON THAT DAY to assist us with it's strong manifestation energy!
January will be a great month for being clear about what it is that you want to pull into your life experience, because there will be another new moon on January 30th also!  Can you feel it?  In 2013 you were compelled and propelled to step out of old patterns and ways of being in order to step more authentically onto your spiritual path...that felt pretty chaotic and uncomfortable at times, didn't it?  But you have done a great deal of the work in that regard, and you have gone 'within' to be REAL about your PERSONAL relationship with the Divine.
THE VEIL IS THINNING  and that is a beautiful thing for we, as individuals and as a society, yet, whenever you shake up the 'status quo' there are moments of resistance and adjustment and that was absolutely the experience for many in 2013.  Your message today is to first of all believe in the magic of the Universe and all the potentiality and possibilities available to you!  You are then being asked, as we move toward the new moon on January 1st, to take the time to 'go within' and dream the biggest dream for yourself!  Do not be shy!  It is NOT in EGO to shine your LIGHT!  You have your own unique contribution to make in bringing Light to the world!  Be brave and set your sights high...begin by asking 'How may I serve?' and then DO NOT FILTER THROUGH YOUR MIND THE THOUGHTS THAT COME TO YOU...RATHER, FILTER THOSE THOUGHTS THROUGH YOUR HEART.  Believe in the magic of the Universe that supports you...  Spend some time being clear within yourself that you intend to shine your Light and utilize the amazing manifestation energy of this upcoming new moon on January 1st to assist you in your creation.  There is NO COINCIDENCE, and the fact that the first new moon of 2014 falls on January 1st is a Divine gift to you, so take it, and soar with it, because in that way you are honoring the Divine!  I am sooo excited for you!
Blessed be...

All Is Well ~ Archangel Jeremiel

Your card this Boxing Day was drawn from the 'Archangel Oracle Cards' deck, authored by Doreen Virtue.  The card that dropped out of the deck for you is the 'All Is Well' card, which is aligned with the energy of Archangel Jeremiel.  Doreen's message for the card is this:
"Archangel Jeremiel:  Everything is happening exactly as it is supposed to, with hidden blessings you will soon understand."

My message for you today is this:
Archangel Jeremiel's name means 'Mercy of God'...he specializes in assisting us to heal our emotions.  Many experience Jeremiel's aura as violet in color and it is no surprise that the crystal, Amethyst, is said to resonate with his energy as Amethyst is a stone of harmony and Divine connection.
Jeremial is stepping forward for you as we close the 2013 year, to assist you in sorting through all the emotions you may be processing regarding occurrences over the course of 2013 (which was a somewhat tumultuous year for many).  Jeremial wishes you to see it all from a 'higher perspective' and from the place of knowing that 'all is well', which is NOT to say that 'all was always comfortable'!!!  When you call on your guides and angels, and on the Archangels, to help you navigate your way through what you may view as 'challenges' within your life, they will help you to see that what you viewed as a challenge may not be a challenge at all.  How did some of your perceived challenges shift your direction and set you on a course that was completely in your 'greater good'? Jeremiel will help you to recognize the blessings within various situations and will help you to heal your emotions surrounding certain incidents and occurrences.  Strive to use the viewpoint of LOVE, and ask Jeremiel to assist you in doing so.
Perhaps you will sit with an amethyst or wear an amethyst or carry an amethyst and ask that it's energy of harmony and Divine connection pervade your body and your aura as you feel Archangel Jeremiel's energy also swirl around and envelope you.  Breathe in the peaceful, harmonious feelings and know that 'all is well' and everything is progressing forward as it is meant to, even if you can't 'see it' or 'experience it' yet.  Your faith that it is so is what will bring such circumstances into your experience.  Notice in the image on the card above that Archangel Jeremiel is showering you with beautiful golden Light.  Allow yourself to reside in that Light and permit it to permeate your space and to heal your emotions, and so it is...
All IS well...know this...have faith, and realize that you are completely supported and loved!
Blessings to you...

Merry Christmas Day!!!

Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas Day!
I am grateful to all who take the time to visit this blog for the daily card readings...it brings me great joy to share the messages with you and my prayer is that doing so serves you in some way!
Enjoy your day today!
Blessings to you,
Linda

Quiet

Your card this Christmas Eve is drawn from the 'Mary, Queen of Angels' deck, authored by Doreen Virtue.  Your card is the 'Quiet' card, and Doreen's message for the card is this:
"I go into peaceful silence, and I listen."

My message for you today is this:
Mother Mary has gifted you with the perfect card on this day before Christmas.  Of course, I chose her deck because Mother Mary's nurturing, gentle energy will serve you well at this sometimes hectic, high energy time of year. How appropriate that she has given you the 'Quiet' card...a reminder for all of us that it IS possible to find that peaceful, 'quiet' space within, even though you may be surrounded by a cacophony of noise and people and ALL kinds of energy!  This beautiful time of year, when we gather with family and friends is a wonderful way to end the year.  Still, the 'busyness' of it all, and the dynamics of multiple gatherings and bringing many people together can feel overwhelming at these emotionally charged times, especially for those who are highly sensitive to energy.  Mother Mary is advising you to that it IS possible to find a few moments to be still, breathe deeply and to rest in the stillness of your breath, no matter what circumstances you may find yourself in.  
If you are feeling that you are carrying around energy that you have 'picked up' from another, and that is not yours, ask your angels to assist you in clearing away that energy as you breathe deeply and allow the energy that is not yours to be released.  This is NOT in judgment that someone else's energy is 'bad' or 'negative' energy, only that it is not YOUR energy, and to be fully present to share of yourself means to share YOUR energy! Remember that the love energy ALWAYS remains, whenever you clear yourself energetically.
Mother Mary is also encouraging you to find some time over the holiday season, to just be QUIET...  Give yourself the gift of quiet reflection (without feeling 'guilty' for taking this time for yourself!).  Find a peaceful, quiet place, close your eyes, breathe gently and just allow yourself to BE...  It is during such times that you will feel the presence of your angels, including Mother Mary, who has presented to you today, acknowledging that you ARE supported and unconditionally loved by the Divine.  Mother Mary is asking you to enter that quiet space within and to allow yourself to be enveloped in angelic love and peace.  Give yourself this gift...the gift of 'quiet' and feel your Soul be filled with calm and connection to the Divine.  
Blessed be...

No card reading today...

There is no card reading for today...I took my daughter to the airport this morning as she returns to live in Brazil and I am subsequently having a 'me' day...missing her already!!!
Wishing you a blessed day of peace and gratitude for all the blessings in your life!  
Be sure to hug the ones you love today!  I will post a reading for tomorrow, Dec. 24th/13.
Blessings to you,
Linda

Have Confidence

Sorry for the late posting today...we are hosting our early family Christmas here tomorrow, so today is somewhat like Christmas Eve for me and it is a BUSY DAY!!! 

Your card today is drawn from the Archangel Michael deck authored by Doreen Virtue.  Your card is the 'Have Confidence' card, and Doreen's message for you is this:
"My prayer:  Archangel Michael, please lend me your courage and fortitude.  Help me realize that I am one with all that is Divine: wisdom, strength, love, creativity, abundance, and health. Allow me to feel confident and peaceful about myself in all ways."

My message for you today is this:
Well...that says it all, as we come to the close of the week and head into winter solstice tomorrow...
Have confidence in yourself and in your connection to the Divine and move forward knowing that you are fully supported in migrating toward all that you are intended to be!
A brief message for you today, but no less powerful in it's energy...take the time to sit quietly and breathe in the depth of this message.  Call upon Archangel Michael to be with you and to assist you in having that sense of self-assurance and self-empowerment.  It is NOT egoic to hold confidence in your worth and your knowing that you are completely loved by the Divine for everything that you are RIGHT NOW!  (Not only when you become more eloquent, or more graceful, or you lose that extra weight, or whatever...just as you ARE RIGHT NOW!)
Reside in this knowing and rest in the stillness of it as we travel into winter solstice and the holiday season...I wish you peace and confidence that 'all is well'...
Blessed be...

The Empress ~ Archangel Gabriel

Your card today is being 'held' by a beautiful prayer angel, which was gifted to me yesterday by a very dear friend for my birthday---Patti's friendship is a wonderful blessing in my life, and this prayer angel is a lovely reminder of that!  This prayer angel will be the 'keeper of the daily card' from here forward...I am in deep gratitude!
Your card for today dropped out of the 'Angel Tarot Cards' deck, authored by Doreen Virtue and Radleigh Valentine.  Your card is one of the major arcana cards from the deck...it is the 'Empress' card, which is aligned with the energy of Archangel Gabriel.  Doreen & Radleigh's message for the card is this:
"Lavish abundance.  Give birth to your dreams.  Nurture yourself and others.
Your creativity and hard work are bringing you great rewards, according to this card.  You have the Midas touch right now, so anything you give your loving attention to will flourish...Enjoy the beautiful things in life, knowing that you deserve to be wonderfully provided for.  Take excellent care of your body with massage; yoga; or anything that makes you feel healthy, vibrant, and luxurious."

My message for you today is this:
Do you feel a 'lightness' today that comes with the passing of the recent full moon energy? Did you feel a little 'heavier' during that period and do you now feel that some of the weight has been lifted?  If you did, indeed, engage in a releasement ceremony of some sort during that time, then I am sure that is the case!
Your card today is certainly a positive and uplifting one!  We have had some powerful cards already this week, and it is no different today!  Within a tarot card deck, there are major and minor arcana cards.  There are 22 major arcana cards within a deck, and they describe major events and turning points in our lives. Doreen and Radleigh have aligned each major arcana card with an Archangel. The minor arcana cards within a deck are divided into 4 suits and these cards represent the more ordinary day to day life events.  No surprise that it was a major arcana card that dropped out for you today!  Archangel Gabriel's name means 'Messenger of God' and he (or 'she', depending on how you experience this archangel's energy) is known as the 'communication' angel, as well as the angel who assists with matters of pregnancy and childbirth, and creative endeavours.  As we are moving toward the winter solstice and into the new year, you are being reminded to nurture yourself and your dreams and to understand that you are not only supported but encouraged to GO FOR IT!!
You are also being reminded today, as we move into the Christmas season, when many will be gathering with family and friends to celebrate, to approach this time from a heart-centered place and a nurturing place, and to allow any petty little annoyances that may arise to fall by the way-side.  Keep your focus on the 'bigger picture' and approach all of your interactions with a loving heart...you do so, not only for those around you, but also for yourself!  Bask in the positivity that is being sent your way right now!
Blessed be...

Release & Manifest Light

YOUR MESSAGE TODAY IS A BIGGY!!  PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY AND TAKE SOME TIME TO REFLECT ON HOW IT APPLIES TO YOU AS YOU MOVE INTO 2014...

Your cards today dropped together out of the 'Crystal Ally' card deck, authored by Naisha Aishan.  I wrote about Naisha's background in crystal consciousness in a recent posting when I used her deck for the daily reading, so you can scroll back to read that information, if you wish.  So, here we are, mid-week, the morning after the final full moon of 2013 (and of course, that energy remains with us into today somewhat) and the Universe presents you with the 'Release ~ Aquamarine' crystal card and the 'Manifest Light ~ Hematite' crystal card, which is a beautiful way of bridging us from one energy into another.  A reminder that Naisha informs us in her guidebook, which chakra the crystal on the card aligns with and also provides us an affirmation to work with regarding the card/crystal.  Below are Naisha's messages for your cards today:

Release ~ Aquamarine:
"Aquamarine has appeared today as a reminder that it is only by releasing the old that we can make way for the new.  Perhaps you are holding on too tightly to an idea or situation that needs to be released in order to take on the form that is most beneficial for you at this time. The Universe will always create that which is for your highest good---if you allow it to.
Aquamarine is asking you to take inventory of your life and possessions, and to release that which no longer fits who you are.  Create a give-away ceremony in which you release those aspects from your life; giving away the energy of control, and allowing yourself to have faith that the Universe will use that energy to create what is in your highest good.  Clean out your closets, both inner and outer, and create space for the new to take form.  Allow the light of Spirit to enter and fill your body and mind.
Chakra: Throat
Affirmation:  I release that which no longer serves, and accept Universal abundance."

Manifest Light ~ Hematite:
"Hematite has appeared in your cards today to remind you that part of your purpose here on Earth is to bring the Light of Spirit into the physical world through your creations, actions and words.  All of the physical realm is composed of varying frequencies of Light.  By focusing upon becoming a channel for that Light, you will begin to manifest it into the physical world through your creations and experiences.
Take time throughout the day to focus on expressing the light of Spirit through whatever you are doing.  Connect with the Earth element and bring the Light not only into your own body, but onto the planet as well.  It is through this expression of Spirit that the Age of Light will be born into the world.
Chakra: Earth Star and Root chakra
Affirmation:  I am a channel for the Light on the Earth Plane.

My message for you today is this:
I have a strong sense that this message is not only your DAILY card reading, but actually your BRIDGE from the final full moon releasement energy of 2013 and into the new moon manifestation energy of 2014 (AND the new moon actually falls on January 1st/2014...how AWESOME and SYNCHRONISTIC is that???)  How beautiful that these two cards dropped out of the deck together to advise you that by releasing what no longer serves you, you are better able to share your own unique Light with the World!  Some of you may be feeling the magnitude of the recent full moon (I know that is the case for me!), and your cards today are presenting in support and acknowledgment that there IS a great deal of Light ahead for you, especially when you make the conscious decision to let go of the old. Allow any 'grieving' or sadness to arise within you as you release...do not attempt to stifle it...acknowledge and honor your feelings and allow them to flow THROUGH you, rather than to reside within you, and in this way you make room for the possibilities and happiness awaiting you!   Remember that releasing the old does not IMPLY that all that was OLD was NEGATIVE...only that holding onto that aspect of the past as though it is your present will NOT serve you in moving forward and in sharing your Light in the way that you are meant to.  You are supported and loved by the Divine in doing so!  Ask, and the support is there for you...  
The beautiful crystals of aquamarine and hematite are also making themselves available to you, as a gift from the Universe to support you energetically...simply holding a crystal can honestly bring you great comfort, if you open yourself to the energy, trust, allow, receive and believe... 
How will you shine your Light in 2014?  I feel great excitement energy for you!
Blessed be...

Contact

FINAL FULL MOON OF 2013 THIS EVENING!  
Due to the strong cosmic energies at play today, into tomorrow and on into the winter solstice on December 21st, I chose the 'Return of Spirit' fractal art deck, authored by Cheryl Lee Harnish.  The card that literally FLEW out of the deck for you today is the 'Contact' card, and while I usually only share a portion of the author's message for the card of the day written in their guidebook for the deck (depending on the specific energies of the day), I feel I need to share Cheryl's entire message with you today:

"Life's great synchronicities and the alignment of fateful events is very dependent on our contact and connections with other people.  You have drawn this card today because it is important for you to make contact with someone in particular in your life.  This one-on-one communication could be by phone, e-mail, text message or in person.  In whatever way that contact happens, it is important that you reach out.
Sometimes we resist or procrastinate doing the very things that will help to move us along on our path.  The Contact card is asking that you look at whatever resistance you may have, and gently push yourself forward to do what needs to be done.  Perhaps you need to contact someone and deal with an emotional issue you would rather avoid.  Maybe you have neglected speaking with a family member, loved one or friend.  Do you need to get past your fear of making a business call?  Spirit is asking that you be brave and make contact with a certain individual.  The stagnant energy that is being held through your resistance needs to be released and cleared.  This will help to aid in the flow of new energy, healing, empowerment, and manifestation in your life.  Energetically, you will be free to set-up and align the next step of your journey.
This card can also indicate that there is a very important person coming along in your life, with whom you are about to connect.  Be present within yourself when meeting anyone you connect with--especially if it is unexpected or synchronistic, as this person could be playing an important role in your future."

My message for you today is this:
WOW!!  A perfect card to leap out of the deck for you today, in the energy of a FULL MOON, which is EXCELLENT for supporting us energetically in releasing that which no longer serves us (and thereby making 'room' to allow in that which DOES serve us)!
As I lay my hand upon this beautiful fractal art card, I felt a HUGE swelling of my HEART CHAKRA, and a slight pain in my head!  Is your head ruling your heart and resisting what your heart is telling you to do within a certain situation in your life right now?  The holiday season is typically a time of year when we make the effort to reach out and connect with those we have not made the effort to connect with throughout the former year...often we receive Christmas cards with letters and pictures, bringing us up to date on the happenings of family members and friends...  You may even feel compelled to interact with a 'stranger' more readily than you might at other times of the year, through volunteering of your time or services, or random acts of kindness.  Such is the energy of the 'holiday season'...We are in 'contact' more readily and are supported in reaching out more willingly.
In the energy of the FULL MOON, Spirit is supporting you to 'drop from head to heart', and for your OWN greater good, to take advantage of the holiday 'Spirit' of reaching out to another...perhaps someone with whom you have 'unfinished business', that it would serve your Soul to rectify...  If such a person comes to mind, you are being 'strongly advised' to 'deal with it', from a heart-centered place of Love, for YOURSELF and the other...it will be a healing experience for you, regardless of the outcome (meaning whether that person remains a strong connection in your life or not).  It may be that this person is no longer in alignment with who you are at this time, but at least you would have 'closure'.
Spirit is also acknowledging that it is not necessary to re-engage in some former relationships that  brought us pain and suffering, but you can choose to 're-visit' on your own, the interactions within that relationship from a loving place of non-judgment and there-by release any pain and hurt, so as to no longer carry the burden of that forward in your life. Utilize the full moon energy to conduct your own 'releasement ceremony'...to let go of residual pain from a past relationship that just doesn't serve you...One means of conducting a releasement ceremony is this:
Write down on one piece of paper (or more, if necessary!), all the pain and suffering that the relationship brought you.  Write down on another piece of paper all the lessons and blessings, and how that relationship, and having the strength to leave that relationship, served you in moving forward on your path.  Burn the first paper with sage for clearing and cedar for healing, and release the pain to the Light... Burn the second with lavendar and bless the learnings.(Remember...any ceremony is about INTENTION...if you don't have sage, cedar, or lavendar, ask intuitively what you have on hand that would serve you in ceremony, and use that).  We are in the final full moon energy of 2013, and it is time to 'clear away the old and make way for the new' as we move into 2014!!!
Perhaps, on the other hand, you have been truly missing someone that you feel a strong connection to, and you haven't reached out to because of the 'busyness' of life...Spirit is telling you to MAKE THE TIME...your heart will be filled because of it!
And...as Cheryl stated, be aware of the 'new people' entering your life and the beautiful and unique ways in which Spirit presents such people to us!  These people will be important on your journey forward, and you on theirs!
Blessed be...

Third-Eye Chakra

Your card today is drawn from the 'Angel Therapy' deck, authored by Doreen Virtue.  Your card to begin the week is the 'Third-Eye Chakra' card.  The guidebook that accompanies this deck includes action steps for each card, which I will include in Doreen's message:

"It is safe for you to see the energy of love in all forms, such as angels, auras and visions."

Doreen's suggested action steps:
Sit quietly and say~
"Archangel Raphael and the Angels of Clairvoyance, I call upon you now to surround my head with your healing energy.  Please clear my third eye of any old fear energies, entities or other blocks or intrusions."
Inhale and exhale deeply while the angels perform their 'psychic surgery' to adjust your spiritual sight. Keep a journal of your visions, and ask your angels for help interpreting them.

My message for you today is this:

Are you feeling the shift in energy as we head into the full moon tomorrow?  I am, and that is why I chose the 'Angel Therapy' deck to draw your reading from today, because I felt it's gentle energy would provide us with some assistance and guidance in navigating through the cosmic energy of the upcoming week, toward the winter solstice on December 21st.  You may find that emotions are rising to the surface in preparation for releasement, which will be supported by the full moon energy of tomorrow...go with it, to the best of your ability, and don't try to stifle the feelings that are 'rising up' for you today...allow them to flow through you, so that they CAN be released, and be sure to give yourself some 'tender loving care' today: be it relishing in a cup of hot chocolate; having a sea salt bath surrounded with lighted candles; having a massage or spa treatment of some sort; or...as I am prone to do when I am feeling 'stressed or 'out of sorts'...organize a certain area in your living space!  Whatever brings you a sense of peace, dedicate a portion of your day to embracing that...you are NOT just indulging yourself---you are being kind to those around you!  
Now...onto the message that came forward for you in regards to your card for the day!
Your card today is reminding you that you DO have the ability to connect to your angels and to receive messages from them clairvoyantly (meaning 'clear seeing').  Your third-eye chakra is located in your forehead, above and between your two physical eyes (see my posting about chakras on my 'Blog & Events' page on this site for more information).  You receive clairvoyant messages through your third-eye by means of using your physical sight when you experience seeing specific number sequences repetitively (see Doreen's book, 'Angel Numbers 101' as a reference for the meaning of various number sequences); lights and moving objects; orbs appearing in photos to indicate angelic presence at the time the photo was taken; or through signs and symbols such as feathers, rainbows, clouds and coins (or...as my husband and I were thrilled to witness the other day, two beautiful 'sun-dogs' in the winter sky!)  You receive clairvoyant messages through your 'mind's eye', sometimes referred to as 'inner vision',  as shapes, colors, flashes of images,'mental movies', dreams, etc...  This card carries the message for you today to trust in the clairvoyant messages you HAVE been receiving, and to consciously implement this beautiful gift of 'sight' to guide and assist you in moving through your life with ease and grace and the knowing that, in the 'uncomfortable' times in our life experience, we are completed supported!  Use Doreen's prayer above, or better yet, a prayer of your own creation, to express your desire to employ your gift of clairvoyance in consciously connecting to the Divine. You are safe in doing so! Trust.  Allow. Receive.  Believe.
Blessed be... 

Flying Free

Your card today is drawn from the 'Gateway Oracle Cards' deck, authored by Denise Linn. Your card is the 'Flying Free' card, and Denise's message for the card is this:
"I unfurl my wings and fly!
You're not on the planet to live a mundane and ordered life.  You're here to grow, expand and step into your extraordinary self.  Of course there are times to live an ordinary life, but there are also moments to fling your arms to the heavens.  Choose life on your own terms. Clear out mental and emotional fog, and move beyond those situations that you have outgrown.  Don't unconditionally accept the rules you have placed on yourself or that others have placed on you."

My message for you today is this:
It is true that in this physical lifetime, we have roles and responsibilities that we must fulfill, and that really serve the greater good.  You may ask yourself, "How am I to focus on myself and unfurl my wings and fly?" at this time of year when everything is exceedingly scheduled and busy with social engagements, shopping, wrapping, decorating, baking, possible travel to convene with family, and whatever else the holidays mean for you?  If I spread my wings and fly, who will take over my role and responsibilities this holiday season? It may feel as though it is next to impossible to find time to be introspective or to be self-indulgent, or to 'choose life on your own terms'.  
That is a self-limiting way of thinking!  Your message today is that you DO choose your experience through the way that you PERCEIVE your circumstances!  If you were to ask anyone that you view as living a passion-filled life, they will tell you that, seldom when they chose to 'unfurl their wings and fly' was in convenient!  You may have heard the phrase, 'Sometimes life gets in the way'...I have used that phrase myself, as an excuse of sorts at times.  The truth is, WE get in the way!  Within the circumstances of life, there are always creative ways to live our passion, while still fulfilling the responsibilities and roles that are a necessary part of living fully.  By taking flight, you are not flying AWAY!!  Be present. Prioritize. Grasp the moments that reveal themselves to you and revel in the sense of freedom---these moments CAN and DO happen, even in the 'busiest' of times! Sometimes, it's up to you to create them or to recognize them, embrace them, relish in them and know that by allowing yourself to fly, you serve as inspiration to those around you to do the same!
Blessed be...

Trustworthy Guidance & Notice the Signs

Two cards dropped out of the 'Daily Guidance From Your Angels' deck, authored by Doreen Virtue for your card reading today.  Those two cards are the 'Trustworthy Guidance' card and the 'Notice the Signs' card.  Doreen's messages for the cards are:

Trustworthy Guidance:
"You've received a wonderful idea as an answer to your prayers.  This idea is real and trustworthy.  You can safely move forward with it, knowing that we are with you every step of the way.  Ask for and be open to receiving our support for anything that you need related to this idea."

Notice the Signs:
"Yes, the signs you've been receiving are heaven-sent.  We drop feathers, coins, and other signs upon your path to remind you that you're loved and never alone."

My message for you today is this:
How beautiful that these two complimentary cards dropped out of the deck together for you today!  We DO receive our guidance in the form of 'signs' and synchronicities that appear in our lives and this is being validated for you today!  My son recently sent our family a photo of a wall hanging he had come across and just had to purchase for his home...it reads:
"If you're looking for a sign, this is it!"  I LOVE IT!!!  Sometimes we get caught up in thinking that communication with our guides and angels has to be more complicated than it is...as I've said so many times, our guides and angels WANT to be in communication with us, and so they will send us messages in ways that we as individuals will recognize.  All we need to do is to be open and aware and when we recognize something to be a message or sign, to give thanks for having received the message.  Your angels are indicating to you that you have received guidance from them recently and to trust in that guidance, while acknowledging that such guidance is generally subtle in the means by which it is delivered.  It is up to you to notice and recognize the signs and symbols being presented to you in communication. Seldom do we receive our Divine guidance by means of hearing a booming voice issuing a proclamation to us!  It is up to us to develop our own unique form of communication with our angelic team.  I have long recognized, on a Soul level, prior to ever having read any books on communicating with your angels, that when I saw a feather and it drew my conscious attention, it was a sign that my angels were with me...  At such times, I would just lovingly express my appreciation and say my little prayer of, "I say thanks, I say Amen".  Still, I am certain that there were times in my life that 'feathers were dropped for me' that I did not consciously recognize.  I will tell you that I doubt that would ever happen now!  As you set the INTENTION to develop a clear CONSCIOUS CONNECTION with the Divine, and to ask for guidance and assistance in your life, it will present in ways that you cannot help but notice, subtle as it may be.  Let me be clear in saying that the angels seldom employ only one means of communicating with us.  The more open we allow ourselves to be, the more diverse they can be in how they communicate with us.
Today, ask yourself where you KNOW you have received DIVINE GUIDANCE recently (do not 'over-think' this...simply accept the first thing that comes to mind).  Acknowledge the signs that were given and how the guidance was presented for you.  Give thanks for having been given the guidance, knowing that you thereby strengthen the line of communication. 
Trust. Allow. Receive... And so it is...
Blessed be...

Leadership ~ Sunstone

I am posting your daily card reading for Wednesday, December 11th a little early, as I will be busy with readings tomorrow...  
Your card was drawn from the 'Crystal Ally' card deck, authored by Naisha Ashian.  Naisha is also the co-author, along with Robert Simmons, of 'The Book of Stones'; an excellent resource for the physical and metaphysical properties of a great variety of crystals!  I often use the guide book that accompanies Naisha's Crystal Ally cards, as an excellent reference as to the properties and qualities of crystals, also.  Naisha is the founder of the 'Crystalis Institute', which is dedicated to working with people worldwide offering training in a program she has developed, 'Crystal Resonance Therapy', healings, and consultations on the properties of gemstones and crystals.  Her perspective and understanding of crystal consciousness is well-respected.  As someone who has always been drawn to 'rocks', I was drawn to her deck many years ago, and I find it highly accurate as a divination tool!
Your card today is the 'Leadership' card, which is aligned with the crystal, 'Sunstone'. Naisha's message for the card is this:
"When Sunstone enters your cards, you are being asked to take the position of Leader in the present situation.  Be clear about your motivation about assuming this position, as any ego-based motives will ultimately be exposed by the powerful light of Sunstone.  Seek out the advice and knowledge of those who have walked further along this path than you have. True leadership begins with the ability to listen to others, and to respond to them from the wisdom of your heart, not the platitudes of ego.
Whatever the specifics of the leadership role that you are to take on, remember that enlightened action for the good of all is the only true course for a leader today.  The power of a leader lies in his or her response-ability.  Be willing to take the action the good of all makes apparent to you, and move forward in the courage of your heart's convictions.
Chakra:  second (sacral) and third (solar plexus)
Affirmation:  I respond joyfully to the experiences that arise before me.

My message for you today is this:
The opportunities for leadership can present themselves to us in a myriad of ways...
It can be as simple as 'leading by example' as you choose to deal with a difficult situation in your life with grace and love and understanding.  It can be as global as founding and operating your own publishing house, as Louise Hay came to do in her early 50's.
Perhaps you will assist someone in seeing a situation within their life from a different perspective, simply by offering just the right words at the right time.  Perhaps you will feel inspired to share with someone a book that you have read that held a powerful message for you, or a movie that inspired you, or a website that you find insightful.  Perhaps when you are surrounded by frustrated people while in that LONG check-in line at the airport, over the holiday season, you will consciously strive to lift the vibration by helping out someone in line near to you with their fussy child, or errant piece of luggage, or simply starting a conversation about a happy topic (rather than complaining about the long line up) to help pass the time. Sunstone asks you to acknowledge that it is in the details of how we conduct ourselves throughout our lives that we often have the greatest impact, as leaders.
All leaders do not have to have the persona of the amazing Dr. Martin Luther King in order to be impactful...while such leaders are necessary and are a blessing, remember that the 'small' contributions we make to leading others to the Light are cumulative and impactful, also!  For some, it is difficult to imagine themselves in the role of 'leader'...being 'front and center' is not a place of comfort for them...I completely understand that, as speaking publicly, for example, is WAY outside my comfort zone, but I have come to learn that, when I am called to do so, I view it as 'an act of service', which takes my Ego out of the equation and allows me to undertake the task I have before me (hopefully with ease and grace).  If YOU are called to a leadership role that challenges you to put yourself 'out there', Sunstone can assist you in residing in that 'act of service' mentality, rather than in Ego, and thereby know that you are acting in 'the good of all'!  In those times when you are called to serve in a leadership capacity, ask for the energy of Sunstone to support you in your role...crystals and their resonance are a beautiful gift from the Creator to assist us on our earthly journey. Sunstone is alerting you to your capacity to be a leader in 'bringing in the Light'.  How will you lead? Be open and aware to the possibilities presented to you by Spirit, then embrace those opportunities from a 'place of service', knowing that you are fully supported.
Blessed be...

Love ~ God

Your card today is drawn from the 'Saints & Angels' deck, authored by Doreen Virtue.  The powerful card that came forward for you today is the 'Love' card, associated with God, and Doreen's message is this:
"God is love, and God is everywhere.  Therefore, Divine care is surrounding, healing and supporting this situation. The answer to your question is quite simply 'love'.  That's because it's all that exists, in truth.  By focusing upon God and his caring, you'll find the answers, solutions and results you're seeking."

My message for you today is this:
Perhaps you are like me, and you prefer to use 'Creator' or 'Source', rather than 'God', in referring to the Divine.  In truth, it is really just a label, but I find that the word 'God' has been misused by some---the connotations associated with the word 'God',  and so the way in which some others use the word 'God' is not representative of how I personally embrace and experience the Divine.  Whatever word you relate to the Divine experience, unconditional LOVE is the energy you will encounter when you commune with Divine/Source energy, and that energy is available to ALL regardless of the label you choose to give it!  As you have heard me say SO often, INTENTION is the key!  You can say the most beautiful words, but they are not a 'prayer' without having the power of INTENTION given to them!  You are being reminded today that you are a child of the Creator, and the omniscient unconditional Love energy of the Divine is ALWAYS available to you, if you but ask!  
You are also reminded that you are residing in the energy of the Divine when you seek to fully embrace Love as your means of 'being'...  When you are 'in your purpose', what you are exuding is Divine Love, as you share the Divine spark that is within you...that is why it feels SO GREAT to be 'in your purpose'...it's like a natural high!  Remember that your ultimate 'life purpose' is to share Love with others, in your own unique way, by using your own unique gifts and talents of Divine expression.  Ask the Creator to express Love through you, and ask for the guidance and protection you require to be of service in such a way.  This is a powerful missive...it has been the energy of 2013...our feeling compelled and propelled to move more fully into expressing Divine Love in whatever way we are meant to as individuals!  Know that the Creator supports you in doing so!  Shine your loving Light!
Blessed be...

Gratitude

Your card today is drawn from the 'Mary, Queen of Angels' deck, authored by Doreen Virtue.  Your card today is the 'Gratitude' card, and Doreen's message is this:

"As I notice and appreciate my blessings, I open the door to more of God's gifts." 

My message for you today is this:

I have always worked closely with Mother Mary, and I am 'in gratitude' for her gentle, nurturing, supportive ways...  She has stepped forward to be a comfort to me in my life at times when I desperately needed just that, so while her message for us today is 'gratitude', I must begin by expressing my gratitude for her beautiful energy!

The truth is that, in every situation it IS possible to see some blessings within the whole scenario...  With my younger brother's sudden passing in 1997, even in my intense grief and shock, I was able to appreciate the blessing that I had no regrets about our relationship at the time of his passing---that I had recently had cause to tell him that I loved him and that I was proud to see how he coached his son in hockey, etc.---I was truly grateful for that!  It served as a powerful lesson to me at the time to continue to express my love openly and often. When making a decision now, in how to deal with relationship issues, I ask myself, 'How would I feel about this situation if me or the other person were to pass tomorrow?  Would I have regrets?" If so, then I take the steps to recitify the situation.  My brother's sudden passing left me with the understanding of the immediacy of life, and I promise you that not only members of my own family, but also my husband's family said 'I love you' far more readily and openly after we lost Frank.  So, even in dire situations, it is possible to feel grateful for blessings that reside within the situation.

Mother Mary wants you to know today, that when you give gratitude for and see the blessings present in your life, you energetically attract more blessings into your experience. 

She wants you to notice and appreciate the blessings in your life...doing so will cause a powerful shift in how you view your life experience.  Even just revelling in the pleasure of drinking your morning coffee; feeling thankful to be warm and safe in your home while the snow and wind blow outside (which is our experience this morning in central Alberta!); all the small pleasures that we are blessed with daily...give gratitude!  See how different you feel! As Wayne Dyer tells us, "Change the way you look at things and the things you look at change!"  So, by recognizing the blessings already present in your life, you shift your perspective in the moment and then invite more blessings into your life!  How great is that?!

Invoke Mother Mary to assist you with residing in gratitude...her energy is available to you!

Blessed be...

Spread Your Wings

Your card today is drawn from the 'Archangel Oracle Cards' deck, authored by Doreen Virtue.  Your card is the 'Spread Your Wings!' card, and Doreen's message for the card is this:
"Archangel Ariel:  Do not hold back right now. The timing is perfect, and you are ready to soar!"

My message for you today is this:
Quite honestly, initially, I felt that this card was NOT the intended card for today, when it dropped out of the deck, because the energy of today feels a little more 'laid back' and less 'pushy' than it has in recent weeks...  Then I realized that Ariel's energy is such that, even when you are being compelled or propelled to embrace 'all that you are', it still has a feeling of 'gentle encouraging' about it, as her energy is so gentle in nature (DO NOT misinterpret 'gentleness' as meaning 'lack of strength'!)  I JUST realized the pun in having said 'gentle in nature' when referring to Ariel's energy, because she is often referred to as the 'nature angel'!  (I just love how the messages come forward in a way that I couldn't script if I tried!!!)  Ariel means 'Lioness of God', her aura is experienced by many as pale pink and a crystal said to align well with her energy is rose quartz (the stone of unconditional Love).  Ariel is encouraging you today to 'spread your wings', and to acknowledge to yourself that you DO have your own unique contribution to make to the betterment of your own personal environment and therefore, the environment at large. (The 'ripple effect').  It is by accepting that you CAN and DO make a difference that you begin to affect change. Ariel is reminding you that having such an attitude DOES NOT mean that you are residing in EGO.  If you focus on coming from a 'heart-centred place of service' in sharing your gifts with others, you are thereby HONOURING THE DIVINE for having blessed you with your own unique gifts.  It is not coincidence that the crystal associated with Ariel is rose quartz...the crystal of UNCONDITIONAL love, thereby also associated with the HEART CHAKRA, and that acts of service truly come from the heart!  Just residing in the energy of, 'How may I serve?' invites so many opportunities into your life for you to do so. Today, Ariel is asking you to KNOW that you have wings, and to be brave enough to take flight when you are guided to do so, understanding that you are completed supported by the Divine!  You are safe, and you are loved!
Blessed be...

Listening

Your card today is drawn from the 'Healing With the Angels' deck, authored by Doreen Virtue...I believe that this is the very first angel oracle card deck that Doreen created!  Your card today is 'Listening' , and Doreen's message for the card is this:
"You are in communication with your angels, and the messages that you are receiving are very real indeed.  Trust them."

My message for you today is this:
The image on this card has a very soft, gentle look to it, and THAT is exactly how your angelic team communicates with you!  Typically, they communicate in subtle ways and it is important that we be aware and open in order to receive their messages.  The word 'listening' on the card implies paying attention and not that their messages will only be 'heard' but that they can be expressed in a myriad of ways...  The KEY is to notice when something draws your attention, especially if it happens repetitively.  Our guides and angels truly WANT to support us and to communicate with us...it is we who block that communication by expecting that it should happen in a certain way, or by doubting the messages we are receiving, rather than just expressing gratitude when the messages come our way.  
The beautiful blue border on this card and the blue overtones bring to mind the sky-blue colour of our throat chakra...our energy center of communication...  Ensure that your chakras are all clear and balanced in order to be a perceptive receiver of the angelic/Divine communication that is being expressed to you. You can clear and balance your chakras in a number of ways...a simple means of clearing your chakras is to ask Archangel Michael to assist you with this (I will post on my 'Blog & Events' page about various means of chakra clearing, since it came up for you in your reading today).  Having cleared and balanced your chakras, bring to mind an area of your life that you desire guidance about from your guides and angels.  Mentally ask the question and then be open to receiving, without attempting to dictate just HOW or WHEN the messages will come to you...relax into it, and trust and allow!  Pay attention!  It's really that simple...your angels are letting you know that they have been in communication with you...are you 'listening'?
Blessed be...

Revealing Radiance

Your card today is drawn from the 'Gateway' deck, authored by Denise Linn.  Your card is the 'Revealing Radiance' card, and Denise's message for the card is this:
"My light illuminates the world!"

My message for you today is this:
Sometimes we get caught up in the frustration of whether or not we are living our 'LIFE PURPOSE' (yes...in CAPITAL LETTERS!)  The truth is we DO each have our OWN UNIQUE and VITAL contribution to make to the world and often it takes COURAGE and TENACITY to step fully into that PURPOSE...  If we get so caught up in seeking what our LIFE PURPOSE is, in the BIG scheme of things, however, we miss out on shining our LIGHT in the PRESENT MOMENT!  This is NOT to say that you should deviate from SHINING YOUR LIGHT in the way that only YOU can, but is a reminder that you are given the opportunity to shine your Light in every moment of every day in a way that will impact others as you can only imagine!  Whatever your LIFE PURPOSE is, you have been given that GIFT and ABILITY by the Divine, in order to bring more LIGHT to the world, and you are encouraged today to take guided action in shining your LIGHT as you are intended to!  Be brave!
Today you are ALSO being reminded that it is in LIVING our purpose, from moment to moment, that we not only shine our Light, but that we encourage and inspire others to SHINE theirs, also!  Perhaps your best means of illuminating the world today is in complimenting another on their unique gift and talent and supporting them in stepping into sharing their Light with others...  The greatest message for you today is that, by shining your Light, the World is only brighter...by encouraging another to shine their Light, the World is only brighter...AND it is in striving to be Light in every moment that we can that we best ILLUMINATE the World!  Our LIFE PURPOSE is not something to be ACHIEVED, but something to be LIVED...the truth is, your LIFE PURPOSE is continually morphing and changing in the ways that it is best expressed out into the world.  Have you noticed that? We have absolutely been URGED in 2013 to express ourselves and to share our unique talents and abilities in a 'bigger' way, but we must be sure that in pursuing that, we don't lose sight of the MOMENTS along the way, when our Light can make a difference...
How will your Light illuminate the World today?
Blessed be...

Let Go

Your card today is drawn from the 'Magical Messages From the Fairies' deck, authored by Doreen Virtue.  Your card is 'Let Go', and Doreen's message for the card is this:
"As you surrender the need to control, your relaxed energy rapidly attracts your desires."

My message for you today is this:
Although we may be clear within ourselves about what our goals and dreams are, sometimes these goals and dreams manifest in ways that we couldn't even imagine for ourselves!  You may have heard the phrase, "The Universe dreams a bigger dream for you than you would ever dream for yourself!"  The message here is that we may limit ourselves at times, because we do not see the potential that exists within us...but the Divine does! The fairies are affirming that you must have goals and dreams for yourself, but they encourage you to surrender as to how these dreams and goals will best manifest for you! Do not try to control and manipulate every facet of the manifestation of your dreams! Embrace the trusting, playful energy of the fairies and relax into all that the Universe has in store for you!  Allow the people, opportunities and synchronicities to be presented to you that will best assist you in moving forward, rather than striving to ORCHESTRATE everything!  Of course, action is necessary, but allow yourself to relax into the DANCE of it all...let go and just engage in the beautiful dance that the Universe is choreographing for you!
Blessed be...
