Encouragement

After the 'profound' messages brought forward for you last week, I was compelled to begin this week with the 'Guardian Angel Cards' deck, authored by Australian intuitive artist and author, Toni Carmine Salerno.  The energy this week feels to be a little less 'intense' and more about 'integration' of what came forward for us last week...Last week we were asked to 'dig deep' and to be very real with ourselves about what we wanted to manifest in our lives. This week, we will be integrating what we brought forward for ourselves and the energy is more gentle and self-nurturing.  Although this deck can also hold some strong messages, its energy is that of your Guardian Angel...unconditional love.  Your card today is the 'Encouragement' card, and Toni's message for this card is:
"Your love is invaluable to the Earth and to those around you.  Even though you may not always see the positive effect your love has on others, trust, for it does.  Each time you offer love, through a loving gesture, thought or word, you plant a seed of love, and love always generates more love.  Trust and continue your loving work."

My message for you today is this:
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this card today!!! (Pun intended!!)  I had the blessing of attending an event this past Saturday called International Angel Day, hosted by my dear friends, Cindy Smith & Jaden Sterling, and I also had the priviledge of attending that event with some very special people in my life (I am in gratitude!)  One of the issues that was addressed was 'Life Purpose'...the BIG QUESTION that all who are striving to live our lives in awareness come to at some point!  Cindy's guidance from her angel team has been that, when we are in 'joy', we are in our life purpose...that resonated on a deep level with me!  With your card today, it comes to me that when we are in 'joy', we are experiencing 'love' energy...think of love energy in the broadest scope, not just the love that you feel for your spouse, your children, your family or your dear friends...you CAN literally feel 'love' for a stranger, for a place, for an item...in fact, you can direct the feeling of love toward infinite possibilities! Your life purpose is simply to share your LOVE, and when you do so, you will feel JOY!  
It brings me great JOY to teach and when I am engaged in that I KNOW that I am living my life purpose, but I ALSO experience JOY when I make eye contact with, and share a smile of encouragement with that young mom struggling with her uncooperative toddler in the grocery store, to whom my smile is meant to communicate, "I know...I've been there...you'll get through it".  Or when someone approaches me for assistance with something when I'm out and about and I am able to help them...joyful, also!  Your message today is that living your LIFE PURPOSE is not just the 'big picture things that you do', it is also in the so-called 'little things', which may actually shift a person's day in profound ways!  LOVE IS IN THE DETAILS!  How will you plant a seed of love today?  Plant that seed without any attachment to the 'outcome', other than the joy that you will experience in sharing your love energy with another.  You would be amazed to know the 'ripple effect' of how your gesture of love will in turn create another gesture of love, and so on...When you share LOVE, in whatever way, you are in your purpose, and you MAKE A DIFFERENCE!  
Blessed be...
