Patience

Your card to close out the week is the 'Patience' card, drawn from the 'Messages From Your Angels' deck, authored by Doreen Virtue.  The message on the card is this:
"Now is the time to learn, study, and gather information.  Enjoy being a student, because in the future, you will synthesize your knowledge into action."

My message for you today is this:
Yesterday, I began reading a metaphysical book suggested to me by a good friend...it is on a topic which I am already 'certified' in.  I am reading it because I am 'drawn' to do so, and also because I understand that different teachers bring their own unique experiences and perspectives to their teaching that can 'shed a new light' on a topic for me...  I am LOVING the book!  
The message for you today is to pay attention to what crosses your path in terms of your Spiritual learning...I've said it before...seldom do the courses and teachings come into your life at a 'convenient' time!  We need to indicate our commitment to our spiritual growth by MAKING  the time or TAKING the time, just as you make the time every day to brush your teeth!  So, buy that book that just 'falls off the bookshelf' when you are in the store; sign up for that course that you keep thinking about;  or just take the time to sit in meditation...invest the time in your Spiritual self!
This card is also indicating that this is a required time of 'reflection' for you, just as the sun is reflecting on the water in the image on the card...  Sit quietly and ask yourself what 'lights you up'?  Then make the commitment to learn more about what comes to mind for you, so that you can enhance your life with that learning in the future...  We are eternal students...what knowledge are you seeking right now?  Embrace the opportunities for learning that present themselves to you, knowing that you've drawn these opportunities into your life for a reason (convenient, or not)!
Blessed be...

You Know What to Do & Hello from Heaven



Wow!  Two cards from the deck, 'Archangel Oracle Cards', authored by Doreen Virtue, literally JUMPED out of the deck and fell to the floor for you today, so it's a 2 card reading!
When I saw what the two cards were, I understood why!  Your first card is, 'You Know What to Do', and the message on the card is this:
"Archangel Uriel:  Trust your inner knowledge, and act upon it without delay."

And your second card is, 'Hello from Heaven', with the message on the card reading:
"Archangel Azrael:  Your loved ones in Heaven are doing fine.  Let go of worries, and feel their loving blessings."

My message for you today is this:
Archangel Uriel's name means, "God is Light"...his aura is often seen as a pale, golden yellow.  Notice the lantern in Archangel Uriel's hand in the image on the card.  Uriel is known for 'lighting your pathway'...for shedding light on what your next step needs to be, while not necessarily revealing the whole plan... Call on Uriel to help you to see clearly how you should proceed, trust the guidance (knowing) that you receive and then take guided ACTION!
SOOO interesting that this card came up for you today, because I was talking on the phone to a friend in Arizona last night and we were discussing some of the 'metaphysical musings' recently of a few spiritual leaders, Doreen Virtue and John Edward being among them.  Our conversation included the reaffirming by many leaders recently that, while the power of thought is undeniable, it must be followed by ACTION!  We discussed how, 'The Secret' (both the book and the movie), was great to bring to consciousness the 'Law of Attraction', which IS a powerful Universal Law, but that what the book and movie failed to do was to also emphasize that taking guided ACTION is an important component of the Law of Attraction!!!  We are in the energy of 2013, which is propelling many Lightworkers to actively engage in their missions and to really 'step into the power within them to be all that they are meant to be' (as it says on the back of my business card!)  In speaking with my friend last night, this came to me, we both felt the power of it, and it is the key to your message from Archangel Uriel today...

"The word 'Lightworker' includes the word 'worker'!  To shine your Light upon the world you must take action!"

Ask Uriel to reveal to you the steps you need to take, and then take them!  Remember that each step is taking you down your path...it is not always necessary to take a giant leap to move forward!
Blessed be...

The other card that came forward for you today is from Archangel Azrael, whose name means, 'Whom God helps', and Azrael's aura is experienced by many as off-white in color.
Archangel Azrael is the angel who assists Souls in crossing over at the time of their physical death, and he also assists those in the physical world in dealing with grief.  He is stepping forward today to bring you a beautiful message of reassurance from your loved ones on the other side that 'all is well'.  Today be open and aware to signs and messages that may be coming to you from loved ones in Heaven, and then give thanks for the knowing that they are never really 'gone'.  You may also call upon Archangel Uriel to assist you with a visit from a deceased loved one as you are sleeping...then pay attention to your dreams tonight.  It is often easier for our deceased loved ones to access us when we are in the 'dreamtime' and our conscious minds are not so active...ask Uriel to help you in remembering the visit when you awaken, then quickly write down your dream experience before your conscious mind is fully engaged.  Give thanks for the gift of communing with your loved one...
Blessed be...

Visualize Success

Your card today is drawn from the 'Angel Therapy' oracle card deck, authored by Doreen Virtue.  The message on the card reads:
"See yourself doing well in this situation, and have faith in a positive outcome."

My message for you today is this:
The beautiful purpley-blue color of the angel wings in this picture indicates that Archangel Michael's energy is with you, guiding and protecting you, as you move through the experiences of your day today.  All you need to do is to be open to receiving that guidance and protection (remember the 'free will' aspect of our physical selves and the law that the angels and archangels are guided by that, does not allow them to intervene in our lives without our permission).  Whatever the situation that you would like assistance with today, visualize the outcome that you desire...take a few moments and truly 'see' the outcome that you desire, knowing that your angels and Archangel Michael are assisting you...then take the guided action given to you and trust that 'all is well'!  What you request help with does not need to be a huge event...it is even in the mundane aspects of life that we navigate our way through our day, and there are times we could sure use some support with that!  Have faith, even if the circumstances don't initially look conducive to reaching your desired outcome...it is in the energy of believing that 'all is well' that your best possible outcome will transpire!  Louise Hay says to begin with, "green lights and parking spaces", when requesting assistance from the angelic realm.  Sometimes, when I am feeling crunched for time in making an appointment, I will say, 'I have all the time I need', and then I will ask the angels to assist me with the traffic lights turning green when I need them to, so I can reach my destination 'sooner', and then for a convenient parking space to reveal itself to me when I reach my destination...that's what Louise is referring to... The key here is to TRUST that your prayer will be answered, rather than going into angst about it, and giving that energy to it...
So whatever you choose to 'visualize success' about today, have faith that you WILL be successful in it, and when you ARE, give thanks for the guidance and support you received!
(For me, personally, I am going to trust and believe that I WILL be successful today in locating that elusive fabric store that I've been trying to find, and that the fabric I've been seeking out will be there and will be affordable!)
Blessed be...

Emerging

The card drawn for you today is from the 'Healing With the Angels' deck, authored by Doreen Virtue.  The card drawn for you is the 'Emerging' card and the guide book message is this:
"Your true self--radiant, powerful, successful, and intelligent--is now shining through the surface.  Allow your true self to be visible to others, for you lift them up and inspire them."

My message for you today is this:
If you read my blog posted yesterday on the 'Blog & Events' page, you will fully appreciate this card coming forward for you today!  The message of this card is one of support, encouragement and acknowledgment for the spiritual 'work' that you have done!  Yes...we are emerging out of the transformative full moon (with a lunar eclipse) energy of the weekend which was one of releasement, and that is being recognized here.  This card speaks to more than that, however...it is indicating that you have been 'cocooning' for some period of time, and with the energy of 2013, you are feeling the urging to fully express all that you have discerned for yourself Spiritually.  Understand that this does not necessarily mean a drastic change in your physical environment, career or family situation!  The shift has been occurring WITHIN YOU, and is reflected in the way that you now interact with others and in how you present yourself to the world...  You are feeling freer about revealing to others who you truly are, and in doing so, you inspire them to step confidently into their authenticity also.  Inherently, we are unique and exceptional and it is only in expressing our true selves that we live our best life...this is what your angels celebrate with you today! 
Blessed be...

Gratitude

Your card today is drawn from the 'Guardian Angel Cards' deck, authored by Toni Carmine Salerno.  The card that 'jumped' out of the deck for you is the 'Gratitude' card, and the message on the card is this:
"Thank you!  This is a heartfelt thanks to you from someone you recently helped in some way.  I, your Guardian Angel, also wish to thank you for the unconditional love you emanate to the Earth, humanity, and those around you.  Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!  You are eternally blessed.  May peace, grace and love forever guide you along your sacred path."

My message for you today is this:
Wow!!! The message on the card today is an awesome way to begin our week!  As you can see, the cards in this deck are heart shaped, which makes them a little more challenging to shuffle, but the energy is so gentle and loving! 
This message is particularly supportive and uplifting as we are moving out of the extreme energy shift that we had been experiencing...I found the recent full moon with the lunar eclipse on May 24/25 to be particularly 'discombobulating' (yes, that IS a technical term!)
So much so, that I am compelled to write about it on my blog page, 'Linda...Likewise...', found on the 'Blog & Events' page of this site, so check that out later today...
As today's  card says, your Guardian Angel(s) are indicating that there is gratitude coming your way...receive it, and do not try to deflect it...just let your heart take it in!  So many times, when gratitude is expressed toward us, we brush is off with comments such as, 'Oh, it was nothing, really...' or something along those lines... Today commit to just really allowing yourself to fully receive the energy of gratitude when it is sent your way... Say, 'You're welcome!' or, 'I'm glad that helped you out!'  Just fully embrace the gratitude energy.  Remember that, by allowing yourself to receive gratitude, you are honouring the intentions of the person expressing the gratitude!  They are offering you a gift, so be gracious enough to receive it and FEEL it!!!
The other message that came forward for you today is that it is key to express gratitude in our lives, even in the times and circumstances that it may not seem 'easy' to do so... Expressing gratitude is a POWERFUL means of shifting energy...the Universe loves gratitude!  Let me just say that I am grateful that you took the time to visit my 'Daily Reading' site today!!!
Blessed be...

Yes

Your card today is drawn from the 'Magical Mermaids and Dolphins' deck authored by Doreen Virtue. (There you go, Patti!  Your beloved dolphins!)  The card that was drawn for you is the 'Yes' card. (And who couldn't feel good about THAT?!?)  The message on the card is this:
"Your intuition is correct.  Take action accordingly."

This is my message for you today:
The cards this week have led to this (I just LOVE how that works)!  The strong message for you today...and this is ABSOLUTELY a message of self-empowerment...is that whatever you say 'YES' to today will manifest very quickly for you.  Consciously CHOOSE what you will focus on today, regardless of the surrounding circumstances.  Today could be a powerful lesson for you in how your thoughts can influence your reality.  Notice the words, 
"take action accordingly", on the card.  For today, your action plan is to choose what it is that you will say 'yes' to,  observe in the near future how the Universe supports you in that 'yes', and THEN take the guided action steps presented to you.  Saying 'yes' alerts the Universe to your INTENTIONS, and so now the Universe can go to work to support you in your intentions, but then it is up to you to take the action steps that are aligned for you and presented for you.
Also remember...the 'self-empowerment' part is this...it is up to YOU what you will say 'yes' to...  Will you say 'yes' to the fact that your co-worker is going to drive you crazy all day, or will you say 'yes' to your having a calm, peaceful experience at work today?  You see, it applies to the 'little' aspects of our lives, as well...  
Blessed be...

Teacher

Your card today is drawn from the 'Ascended Masters' deck authored by Doreen Virtue, and your card is the 'Teacher' card.   Most 'Ascended Masters' have lived on the Earth and have served here as great leaders, teachers and healers.  They have made the agreement, upon crossing over, to continue to serve as a support system for the Earth, from the other side. They are governed by the same 'free will' law that all of our guides and angels are...they cannot assist us unless we ASK!

My message for you today is this:
The Ascended Master who has stepped forward for you is 'Mahachohan Ragoczy' (try saying THAT name 3 times quickly! Which is probably why he is also referred to as the 'Divine Director'.)  His earthly role was as a great spiritual teacher, with Saint-Germain being among his many students.
You can call on the 'Divine Director' to assist you with any spiritually based learning that you undertake.  If you have an interest or desire to pursue a particular modality, ask him to bring to you the course and teacher that will best serve you in your studies. This card is also urging you to take action steps to undertake the learning that your Soul has been yearning to pursue...if it seems that the circumstances are not 'right' in your life to do so, ask the Divine Director to assist you with this, and watch to see just how things 'align' for you...then, when an opportunity presents itself, have faith and take ACTION, knowing that it has been Divinely guided!  I can tell you that, often times when I have taken or taught courses, it hasn't happened at what I would consider to be the most 'convenient' time in my life...but the impact on my life has made it sooo worthwhile!!!
The other message that Master Rogoczy has for you is to remember that we often take on the role of spiritual teacher in the most mundane aspects of our lives...we do not have to be standing in front of a group of people to have performed  the role of 'teacher'.  We can teach others to embrace the spiritual aspect of themselves merely by actively embracing OURS and thereby 'teaching by example'.  Sharing a spiritually based book that had a positive impact on you, with a friend who you feel may also enjoy it;  letting someone who you know is struggling with health issues about how Reiki or reflexology have been of benefit to you; suggesting that a friend or family member check out a certain website that you enjoy visiting!   :-) ...These are examples of taking on the role of spiritual teacher.  Do not underestimate the impact of your sharing... In truth, we 'teach' others every day...what are the lessons you are sharing?  Consider that, today...
Blessed be...

Breakthrough

The card drawn for you today is from the 'Path of the Soul' fractal art deck, authored by Cheryl Lee Harnish.  The card that was drawn for you today is card number 6, the 'Breakthrough' card.  Remember that fractal art carries a very high energy...that it 'emanates' energy, and so try to lay your hand on the image of the card above.  Are there messages within the card that you are also to receive just for yourself today?  Trust, allow, believe!

My message for you today is this:
This card is referring to 'the thinning of the veil' energetically, and that we have been moving toward a time when it is 'easier' to connect with our guides and angels and to Spirit... Many of you are aware of the energetic shift that we are in, and will continue to be in.  In truth, energy is always in movement, isn't it? Having said that, we truly are in a wonderful time in history when our ability to 'make a conscious connection' with Spirit is  more accessible to all of us, if we set the INTENTION to do so...'the veil is thinning' between our physical experience and our spiritual experience.  Surely you have noticed that society is becoming more accepting of the psychic or spiritual aspects of self, and that courses, workshops, conventions and retreats that 'feed our souls' and educate us in making the connection are far more prevalent than say, 10 years ago...
The message for you today is to embrace your Spiritual self in a conscious way, meaning to know and understand that you DO have the ability to receive guidance from your guides and angels...that you do not have to be profoundly psychic to make that connection!  The Universe is supporting (and today, ENCOURAGING you!) to embrace your Spiritual self and to allow yourself to receive messages being sent your way. Remember that the messages are often very subtle in the way they are delivered...set the intention today that you are open to receiving messages from your guides and angels, and then, without setting your own personal agenda about HOW those messages are to be delivered to you, just be CONSCIOUS of your experiences today...and of course, TRUST, ALLOW, BELIEVE!
Blessed be!

(I would love to hear from you about the messages your received and how you received them, today specifically, if you'd like to share...just go to my 'Contact Me' page and click on my email address indicated on that page...)

Life Experience

Your card today is drawn from the deck 'Angel Tarot Cards' authored by Doreen Virtue and Radleigh Valentine.  Tarot cards have a longer history than oracle cards...Tarot cards were being used as a divination tool in the 15th century.  Radleigh has worked with tarot cards for over 20 years and the friendship between Doreen and Radleigh inspired them to create an 'angel tarot' deck that would combine the accuracy and detail of tarot with the gentle means of delivering a message that the angels employ. For your reading today, I separated the 'Major Arcana' portion of the deck out and pulled your card from them.  There are 22 cards in the Major Arcana,  each is numbered and is aligned with an Archangel.
I have NEVER done this before with this deck, I love this deck and use it often, but I always use the deck in its entirety, however, I was guided to separate out the Major Arcana and to draw from them for you today...
The card drawn for you is #16, the 'Life Experience' card, that is aligned with Archangel Chamuel  (pronounced 'Sham - you - el').  The key words on the card are:
"A significant life event.  A powerful revelation that leads to change.  Time to spread your wings."

My message for you today is this:
The number 16's meaning according to 'Angel Numbers 101', by Doreen Virtue is...
"Your words are magnetic affirmations that draw to you the very things you talk and think about. For this reason, the angels remind you to be aware of your words and thoughts."
Archangel Chamuel is the angel who assists us in our 'seeking'...this can be as mundane as helping you to locate your missing car keys, or as profound as a career that 'feeds your Soul'...  
The combination of the energy of the number 16 and Archangel Chamuel, infused in this card, is a reminder to be CLEAR AND POSITIVE about what life experiences we are wishing to manifest or draw into our lives.  The angels are also reminding you that you must ASK for assistance...because we have free will, the angels are not allowed to intercede in our life without our asking them to do so...  Ask Archangel Chamuel to assist you with your seeking...whatever that may be for you on this day...and do so with the positive expectation that your request will be answered, rather than from a place of 'lack', because your words, themselves, have energy...
This card is also a HUGE REMINDER that you CAN affect change in your life; that you have the support of the angels, and specifically Archangel Chamuel; that your words have energy, so be sure to choose them with INTENTION...
Blessed be!

Take Back Your Power

The card drawn for you today is from the 'Archangel Oracle Card' deck authored by Doreen Virtue.  Your card is the 'Take Back Your Power!' Card, and the message on the card reads:
"Archangel Raziel: Use your God-given power and intention to manifest blessings in your life."

My message for you today is this:
Archangel Raziel, whose name means 'Secrets of God', has stepped forward for you in your reading today. Archangel Raziel is who we call on to heal spiritual and psychic blocks. So who better to assist you with feeling self-empowered enough to manifest what you desire in your life?  And there's that word that I just love, again----INTENTION!  Intention is the key to every spiritual act we conduct! What is your true INTENTION, because therein lies the power... In truth, you have never really 'lost' your power, although you may have been feeling 'powerless' in certain aspects of your life.  Even the most self-confident, self-assured people experience feeling powerless at times...That famous quote by Eleanor Roosevelt, "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.", rings true with us because at our core we know that we DO make the decision on some level about how we will allow others to treat us, or how we will respond to situations we find ourselves in.
What area of your life comes to mind for you today where you would like to 'take back your power'?  Don't over-think this...the first thing that 'pops' into your mind, is what you are meant to focus on today...and DO NOT compile a long list, either!!! One item on your list for today, only!! Whatever comes to mind for you may seem 'insignificant' or 'not that important', but trust me...that is not the case!  Call it 'the ripple effect'...using the power of your intention to manifest blessings in one itsy bitsy area of your life will ripple out into all areas of your life!  Allow Archangel Raziel to assist you as you 'take your stand'!  Archangel Raziel's aura color has been experienced by many as 'the colors of the rainbow', so it may help you to see the person/situation enveloped in beautiful rainbow colors.  And as always, take your stand in a loving way...empowering yourself does not imply disempowering others!  Blessed be...

Listen

The card drawn for you today is from the 'Daily Guidance From Your Angels' deck, authored by Doreen Virtue.  The title on the card is, 'Listen', and the message on the card reads:
"Quiet your mind, Beloved One, and listen to our gentle reassurance that everything has been taken care of.  Stay in a quiet and receptive state, without worrying about the exact nature of your desire's manifestation.  A quiet mind and body hears us quickly and clearly.  This is our request to you:  Listen."

My message for you today is this:
So, yesterday you were guided to cut etheric cords, to clear yourself energetically so that you are not carrying anyone else's 'stuff' around with you and now you are being guided to continue with that clearing in yet another way.  You are no doubt aware of the 7 major chakra centers in your body...your root, sacral, solar plexus, heart, throat, 3rd eye and crown chakras.  Another chakra center that is less commonly talked about, but is key in 'hearing' messages from your angels and guides, are the 'ear chakras'...they are located just above both your eyebrows at a 30 degree angle.  So, vertically, they rest between your 3rd eye and your crown chakra.  Your ear chakras become 'clogged' or 'imbalanced' when harsh words are directed at you, and it is important to clear and balance them if you are to clearly receive messages through 'clairaudience', or 'clear-hearing'.  Ask Archangel Michael (yes... HIM again! :-)  to assist you in clearing and balancing your chakras, including your ear chakras, sit quietly and allow, and it is done!  There are also various guided meditation CD's out there that can assist you with clearing and balancing your chakras, and I believe that the one published by Doreen Virtue includes the ear chakras...  Just know that if you set the INTENTION to have Archangel Michael assist you with this, sit quietly to receive this assistance, then so it is!  (You will find, as you follow my blog that the word INTENTION is HUGE for me in doing any Spiritual work!)
Once you have cleared and balanced your chakras, (this could be a whole other blog...'How to Clear and Balance Your Chakras', which I also teach in my course, 'Conscious Connections'), sit quietly, breathe and just ALLOW yourself to BE...  Do not try to force anything, your angels and guides WANT to communicate with you, and it is easiest for them to do so when you quiet your mind, breathe and LISTEN to the thoughts that come to you in this relaxed, receiving state... Understand that you do not have to be profoundly psychic to receive messages from your guides and angels---EVERYONE has the ability to receive guidance for themselves...you simply set the INTENTION, then trust, allow, and receive.  Find some time today to clear your chakras (it takes only moments, with Archangel Michael), sit quietly to LISTEN and notice what 'comes to mind'!  Following this quiet time during which you set the INTENTION to listen to your guidance, also be cognizant of songs that catch your attention because the words 'speak to you', or a song that you hear repeatedly; conversations you overhear that seem to have a message for you; you 'just happen' to turn on your tv or radio at the time that words are spoken that you 'needed to hear' or that pertain to a question you asked for guidance about; or perhaps you experience some 'ringing' in one of your ears.  These are all instances of receiving messages through 'clairaudience'...As always, give thanks for the guidance.  Blessed be!

Gentle Release

The card drawn for you today is from the fractal art deck, 'Divine Guidance', authored by Cheryl Lee Harnish.  This is what Cheryl has to say about fractal art...
"Fractals are a type of mathematical geometry.  They are self-similar, repeating patterns, meaning the smallest part of a fractal is similar to the whole. Everything in the natural world is created from fractal geometry...(sic)---right down to our DNA.  We are fractal and the entire world is fractal..."
I will tell you that for me, personally, I can actually FEEL the vibrational energy from these cards when I lay my hand on them...not only are they beautiful and informative VISUALLY, but they are also of a very high vibration energetically.  Cheryl currently has 2 fractal art card decks published, with a new one being released in July of this year.  For me, these decks resonate with the same white light energy that the angel oracle card decks do, and I love working with them!
This is what the guidebook has to say about the 'Gentle Release' card:
"The presence of Archangel Michael is here to assist you with clearing your energy field of old hurts and past experiences that are weighing you down and slowing your progress in life.  He is here to help you cut the cords that keep you energetically attached to people and events that no longer serve you in a positive way.  Michael always performs his duties with love and asks you to consciously send love to those people and things in your past so that you may release them into the Light and move forward with your life."

My message for you today is this:
When I first drew this card for you there was just an 'ahhhh' feeling...beautiful!
Then, when I laid my hand on the card, and closed my eyes to receive the messages for you today, I first experienced what I can only describe as a 'mini-healing' from Archangel Michael! Wow!  He instantly cut cords for me and I absolutely felt the 'Gentle Release' as he did!  (I say 'Thanks', I say 'Amen'!)  Those of us who are highly sensitive to energy understand the NECESSITY in cutting etheric energy cords to take care of ourselves energetically---no judgment here about someone else's energy being 'good' or 'bad' when we cut cords with them---we have our OWN energy field and they have theirs, and because I have my own 'stuff', I don't need to be carrying around someone else's 'stuff' too!  That serves no one.  We have been residing in the 'spring forward' energy of late...that 'call to action' energy, and Archangel Michael is reminding us today that, in order to truly move forward in the way that we are intended to, we must first gently release what no longer serves us, and we must do this on an on-going basis...and it is Archangel Michael who assists us with this.  Sit quietly and then to invoke Archangel Michael to cut cords for you, simply say:
"Archangel Michael, I call on you now to cut the cords that are not serving me", and then give thanks. 

Please note:  Because this card came up today, I feel compelled to share with you more about how to 'cut etheric cords' and all that it implies, so have a look at today's posting on my blog page, "Linda...Likewise..."  You will find it on the 'Blog and Events' page of my website...    Blessings to you, Linda

Don't Compromise

Your card today is drawn from the 'Saints & Angels deck authored by Doreen Virtue.  The card that has been drawn for you is the 'Don't Compromise' card featuring St. Agnes of Rome.

My message for you today is this:
Interesting that this card comes up for you after being in the  energy of celebrating Mother's Day yesterday...  Those who have been in the role of 'Mother' understand COMPLETELY that there are times that you must stand in your convictions and beliefs, and that it IS possible to do so from a loving and nurturing place!  However, you do not have to have taken on the motherhood role to receive the message in this card today.
As many of you are aware, we are experiencing a great SHIFT energetically, and we are moving from the masculine dominant paradigm of the past to a more feminine energy paradigm.  The primary message for you in your reading today is not to mistake 'feminine energy' as complacent energy!  Understand that, you CAN stand firmly in your beliefs, your truth, and your personal power without 'walking over others'...
Simply put, the 'shift' is really about moving out of 'competitive' energy and into 'cooperative' energy...'cooperative' here means for the greater good of 'All', with the understanding that there IS enough for All... The BEST way to contribute to the greater good of All is to be YOUR BEST, TRUE SELF from a loving, heart centered space...
Don't compromise your truth and your right to be loved and respected...and take this stance from a place of LOVE rather than FEAR...Stand in your own power lovingly!

Expression

Your card today is drawn from the 'Guardian Angel Cards' deck, authored by Toni Carmine Salerno from Melbourne, Australia.  The card that was drawn for you is the 'Expression' card, and the text on the card reads:
"Express how you feel clearly, lovingly, and honestly without fear or judgment.  Say it exactly like it is.  All will be resolved when you express to others how you truly feel.  Trust in the power of life to guide you, and heal all concerned.  Self-expression is liberating and healing.

My message for you today is this:
What a great card to come forward for you at the end of this week!  Can you see that, although the cards this week have been drawn from a variety of decks, the messages for you have a definite relationship to each other?  Wow!!  I just love it!  Read back over the readings for each day this past week to see what I mean!  For instance, yesterday you were asked to be honest with yourself...to determine what your truth IS... and now you are being guided to 'speak your truth', and to express your truth to others.  
I would add, that it is KEY to keep in mind that expressing yourself should always come from a place of COMPASSION, as well as SELF-EMPOWERMENT.  You understand that the energy behind the words has an impact on how your words will be received...The exact same words, such as "Great to see you", may be received in a variety of ways, depending on the intention of the person speaking them, and HOW these words are expressed.  Expressing your true feelings DOES NOT mean IMPOSING your thoughts and feelings on others, but rather, SHARING them honestly and fearlessly.
This card is truly about standing in your authenticity, and being REAL from a loving space...
Blessed be!

Be Honest With Yourself

I am back home in sunny Alberta, and Spring has sprung!  Yay!  The photo of your card for today was taken in front of my house, where the hyacinth are in bloom...beautiful!

I chose the 'Healing With the Fairies' deck, authored by Doreen Virtue, for your card reading today because the fairy energy is sooo strong right now!  The card that I drew for you is, 
'Be Honest With Yourself', and the text for this card reads:
"This card indicates that you're hiding your true feelings and aren't being forthright about an important topic.  The fairies urge you to admit your true feelings to yourself."

My message for you is this:
Being honest with yourself does not imply being HARSH with yourself...the energy of this card is very uplifting and positive.  Notice in the picture on the card that she is looking UP, not DOWN...she is not 'looking down on herself', as we would say if we were in a place of self-criticism...she is literally looking up into the Light!   Dragonfly is there for her as she seeks out her truth for herself.  According to Ted Andrews in his book, "Animal-Speak...Pocket Guide", 'Dragonfly' represents 'time to shine'.  He tells us that the message for us when Dragonfly appears is this:
"Trust in the power of your light and your perceptions to succeed. Efforts are maturing.  Spiritual path is ahead."
So...be honest with yourself from a kind and loving place...access the supportive fairy energy that is particularly accessible to us right now to support you in your truth seeking.  Sit in nature and ask the fairies to assist you in being completely honest with yourself in a loving and playful way...  Fairy energy is PLAYFUL, uplifting energy!    Don't be shy!  Ask yourself this question, and be honest with yourself...    How are you meant to shine?
