LOVE
Love yourself. All this next week do something every day that shows you that you love you. In today's world, with all the negative news, all the stressful energy floating around, it's easy for the soul to get drained, for us to feel overwhelmed and even hopeless.
It's not selfish to take care of yourself. On airplanes they tell you to put the air mask on yourself first, so you will be able to help the one next to you, or your child. The same thing goes in daily life. We have to fill our own cup in order to have extra to pour out to others.
Are you one of those who seems to listen to others pour out their hearts, their troubles, but nobody seems to listen to you? Do you nurture and support everyone and it seems nobody is there for you when you need them? Or are you to the point where you are so tired of helping others you just want to cry? Sometimes we have to do it for ourselves. Your soul needs pleasure, loving times, peaceful times.
Even if you can only manage ten minutes a day, TAKE IT! Ten minutes might not seem like much, how could that small of a time help? But try sitting still with no tv, no music, no book, nothing at all for ten minutes, and see how long it can be! It's all in how you look at it.
Some ideas for showing yourself love-
lay on your bed and listen to your favorite music. Take a bubble bath. Watch a favorite old movie, or a new one! Bake cookies, then eat three of them. Write a poem, or read a poem. Look at art online. Get a coloring book and crayons (they make adult ones that are really nice). Make a paper airplane. For me, it's my crazy quilting. I do embroidery, needlepunch, applique, and silk ribbon work. A half hour with my crazy quilting stash, and my soul is fed.
It doesn't have to be a big deal, it just needs to be something that gives you that 'heart-glow' feeling. When you take good care of your soul, your Spirit is fed also, and you have the energy you need to get through the day and share your life and love with others.

ABUNDANCE
All of your prayers for help concerning abundance have been heard, the answers are on the way. The more you follow your intuition, ask your angels to open doors for you and help you see the doors, the sooner you'll see the answers to your prayers.
Not only money, but abundance in many areas is opening. What is our part in getting prayers answered? Ask, Trust, Listen for guidance, follow the guidance.
We have to learn the difference between the Spirit within us (our Angels) guiding us and our ego-self leading us. Remember, God moves in mysterious ways, and through people. Circumstances are set up using people who WANT to do a certain thing/things, in order to ultimately open a door for you.
Remember the 'Domino Effect' I speak of during reads? When I see dominoes it means many people/situations have to be in perfect alignment for the end result. That is why it is so important to trust that your prayers are heard and being answered. It's hard to wait – especially when you don't see anything that tells you the answer is coming. I remember once I was praying really hard for something, and I just wasn't getting it. During meditation, I was reminded of something that had happened a while ago – my cat was at the back door wanting to go out. (we lived near fields, with no traffic, so I let him go out at times). He was meowing his loudest! I went to the back door to let him out, and I saw a huge
Saint Bernard in our back yard, so I wouldn't open the door. My cat (George) got so mad at me! He wouldn't talk to me for hours. When the dog was gone up the road, I let George out.
This was brought back to me in meditation, because Spirit was telling me I wasn't getting the answer to my prayer the way I wanted it, because I was like George – I couldn't see the danger if that door was opened. I kept praying, but I changed my prayer to ask for what I wanted, and asked for it to come in a safe and good way for me, not hurting anyone else. I did get my prayer answered.
I understand how hard it is to wait, but if you can trust, you save yourself stress over worrying about when and how it will come. Keep doing things that prepare you for the answer to be there, do the work, play your part, and it will all fall into place.

MIRACLES
MIRACLES
Definition – an extraordinary event manifesting divine intervention.
an unusual event, thing, or accomplishment. A wonder
Wonder - a cause of astonishment or surprise. A FEELING aroused by something extraordinary.
How many times do we miss the miracle? Think how many times in your life you have seen or heard something and felt that sense of wonder? For men, it manifests as cold chills, or it seems as if time has 'stopped' around me. How does it manifest for you?
Spirit wants you to know miracles occur daily. Watch for them. Expect them. Give thanks to the Creator of All when you witness a miracle, for that will strengthen your connection to the Creator and open the way for the Holy Spirit (your Higher Self) within you to give you more help, wisdom, and guidance by raising your vibrational level.
Be open to allowing miracles into your life. Sometimes the world around us can be so loud and vexing that our minds go into a dark tunnel and we can see no light or hope ahead of us. At those times, pray and ask to be open to receive miracles. Then leave it. Surely you will have negative thoughts such as 'I don't deserve', 'I can't', or 'miracles happen to others, not me'. When those thoughts come, tell yourself that there is Love, there is a Creator of everything, that real love is unconditional so it doesn't matter
if you deserve it, that you are not the one DOING the miracle – you are just receiving it, and remember that what Spirit does for one Spirit will do for another.
Look for miracles – even small ones. Trust that if you have prayed and asked for help, that help will come at the perfect time for YOU. Also, remember the Word from some time before – Silence.
Don't tell others what you wish/pray for, and keep working on silencing negative thoughts. Let go of fear and doubt.
Ask for help but don't put the answer to your prayer in a box. Be open to it coming in any way that is for your highest and best good. Spirit has many resources we don't even conceive of!
When you are in a state of 'receiving' you are not pushing or trying to 'make' or control what/how/when you get your answer/help.
Remember that song that said 'the waiting is the hardest part'?
Truer words were never spoken...or sang. LOL
While you are waiting for the answer to your prayer, busy yourself with doing all you can to prepare to have it in your life. Do all you can on your end (example – send out resumes, network with friends, make space for a partner's clothes in your closet, set up a budget and learn to handle the money you have to prepare for the money you will have).
Whatever you have asked for, prepare a space for it, and give prayers of thanks that it is coming at that perfect time. Faith can move mountains, even if your faith is as small as a mustard seed. Have you ever seen one? They are LITTLE tiny things! Just by the act of prayer you exhibit that much faith.
Be encouraged!

ACCEPT
ACCEPT
Accept yourself. Accept your life as it is right now. Accept your power, and own it. Every choice, every decision, every experience you have had has helped you to grow. Even 'bad' experiences have a part to play. Without going through hard times, we wouldn't be able to garner wisdom and be able to apply it to our self. Hearing the wisdom of others is helpful, but most of the time we need to be able to 'own' wisdom, and that comes through hands-on experience.
How to learn from a bad time?
It's sometimes very hard to be objective about events that have occurred. There is a part of all of us that doesn't want us to see all points – wants to always blame others. I am sure you have been on that end of things, when someone blames you and doesn't see or own the part they played.
One thing I use is to write down what I experienced or what is going on. I change the names of the 'characters' so as to help me be objective. I write the 'story' from my point of view, then I write it from the point of view of the other person. (As best I can) That little exercise has really helped me a lot. It not only helps with understanding the dynamics of the situation, it also helps with communication. By examining what the Other is saying/doing, then you can fine tune your communication with them.
Accept and love yourself. Treat yourself as good as you treat the ones you love. Treat the ones you love as well as you treat yourself. Remember what the Bible says “Be as harmless as a dove, and as wise as a serpent”. You don't see serpents standing in front of a Mongoose home! In other words, don't stay where you are in danger of being harmed, or destroyed. Certain situations can destroy parts of your soul.
Accept. Accept things as they are, and make wise decisions for yourself. Accept others as they are, don't try to manipulate, control or change them. The only person that can change them is THEM.
But most of all, accept yourself as you are. Love yourself. Treat yourself well. Honor the Spirit of God within you. Be an example of a wise person to others around you, and see how your light spreads!
Love and Blessings to you all

SILENCE
SILENCE
Take time to enter into silence and connect with your Higher Self. All the busy-ness of the outer world can overwhelm us if we are not connected to that source of Inner Peace. By taking time to meditate and/or pray, we increase the power of our inner self to keep us grounded when stuff happens.
Most of the time when we seek to enter into a silent time, everything in the world will run through the mind – from shopping list to remembering to take the trash out. Also, you may find yourself feeling an urgency, or restlessness, and thinking 'hurry up and get still'.
It can sometimes take weeks of practice for some of us to be able to be still. Don't worry if you have random thoughts go through your mind, just think it and move on. With practice you'll be able to focus your mind and control it. The Bible tells us to 'Be still and know I AM God'. This tells me that by becoming still, and letting the hustle bustle of the day and whatever may be bothering us go,
we connect to the Source, the God that dwells within us. This helps us become more peaceful inside, and better able to handle the stresses of everyday life. It also helps us to realize that as we are connected to our Creator, so is everyone and everything else.
By silence I am speaking of not just silence as in not talking, but silence of the mind. Peace in the mind and Spirit which enables you to live in the now. This helps break free of past issues and habits, and knee jerk reactions (reacting to your buttons being pushed without thinking about it).
Silence is also useful in relationships. Most of you know about my '30 second rule'. When you discussing a subject, wait 30 seconds to respond, and the other person will usually begin talking again, and you will see them draw closer and deeper into their own meaning/truth/understanding of the subject being discussed.
There is another use for silence, also. Silence in your mind while listening. The biggest problem between all people is communication. If you can train yourself to REALLY listen...that means don't think of your reply, don't think of how to defend your position – just listen to what the other is saying. If you are not clear, then repeat what they said back. Only be really listening will you actually hear what they said and be able to repeat it. This is important, because lots of times we think one thing while we say something not quite what we were thinking. This is easy to happen when we have so many things on our plate, so many things crowding our minds.
By learning to tap in to that silence within, accessing our source of peace within, strengthening our connection to our Creator, we have the power we need to respond to whatever comes up in our lives in a way that is for our highest good.
Silence can be a very useful tool, and a true blessing.

Awakening
Awakening
Time to step out of your routine and habitual thinking. Try to go through the next ten days pretending you are an alien here on earth...what do you see? Really listen to what you hear others around you saying. Don't think of your response...just listen. Notice what is truly going on around you.
We are coming into a time towards the end of this month when hidden and secret things will be exposed – these are things both within and around you. And/or you will be able to look at things more objectively than in the past. There is no need to force the issue or push to see what might be hidden. If anything needs to be exposed, it will be. IF you are paying attention and not assuming you already know. The things within that will be exposed can be things like habits, thoughts, beliefs about yourself and/or others.
It's time to awaken your power – to move forward, take action toward your goals. The forces of the universe are poning doors for your destiny to be revealed. If you have your head down, stuck in the 'same old' you might not see or recognize the doors.
The earth is being shifted into higher vibrational energy levels. It's time to work on getting lined up with these higher vibrations, if you haven't been. Look for what is important in your life. Look for the essence or 'root' of what is true and real.
For the last few months, the guidance has been to 'clear the clutter', to let go of things that drain you or that no longer serve you. Then was the energy for focusing on what you want to replace the old ways with – what do you want your life to look, feel and be like? Now is the time to move forward, take the first steps. Practice walking in your new choices and new decisions. The first steps toward the new life.
Use your energy to channel or 'herd' your thoughts toward what you WANT. Do not focus or give any energy to what you do not want. Now until Springtime is the time to practice making new decisions and choices, to practice controlling where your thoughts go. To work on taking those goals and tweaking them to fit where you want to be. Time to work toward the new life by taking first steps.
Awaken to the fact that you hold the power to change yourself, and thus change your world.

LIGHT
LIGHT
We are all connected, we all come from the same Source. We are the 'Light of the World' when we are following a Spirit and seeking to walk a kind, heart centered life to not hurt anyone or our self. That is how you can know if you (or any other) are really filled with the TRUE Light. “He who says he is in the light and hates his brother, is in the darkness... and the darkness has blinded his eyes” ( I John 2:9-11)
This is the root of a lot of relationship problems. When someone has been abused or mistreated in the past, it puts a 'hatred' within them toward the either some (a certain type) or all of the opposite sex that can manifest in various ways, such as trust or commitment issues, or different types of abuse toward the opposite sex.
Now is the time to let go of all hatred and anger towards the past. It's time for us to fill ourselves with the Light and SHINE! Remember who you really are – a part of the Creator of All. Clear out eh last bits of emotional and mental junk. Love is the greatest power of all. Shine love upon yourself, filling your cup so as to have enough to share. Treat yourself with as much consideration, compassion, sympathy and kindness as you treat others. Treat others as well as you treat yourself.
Remember not to throw your 'pearls before swine', in other words, don't give your kindnesses and help in places where they are not appreciated. If the Other is not treating you as good as you treat them, it's time to withdraw your kindness and help. It doesn't always mean to 'drop' them (although sometimes you must), but stop enabling them to hurt you by draining you and/or your resources.
Resources can be spiritual, mental, emotional and physical material items.
There is nothing wrong with taking care of yourself first, it's a needful thing. If you are not full of Light, you have no Light to share with others. It is part of our 'job' here on earth, to find our Source, and be filled with the true Light. We are all human, none are perfect. There are those who say they are of the Light, yet when you are around them, all their talk is negative, and hurtful gossip. When you tell them your plans, the first thing out of their mouth is what could/will go wrong. There is no support for you, yet they expect support from you in what they do, and seek to get you to agree and go along with their negative outlook. That is your decision time. What will you fill yourself with?
What is Light? It's love, faith and hope. It's connection with our Creator. It's the hope of the world. It's you. It's me. It's us.
