January Angel Message: Allowing

Here is January's message from the angels. I hope it's helpful for you! See you next month! Give yourself time. There is no rush. Allow life to meet you where you are. Where are you going? You are only ever here. Now. There is nowhere to get to. Only to be. In this moment is where the magic happens. If you allow life to come to you, you will find there is nothing you have to do. Life blossoms where you are, as you are. So don’t fret. Don’t waste energy worrying what will come. Everything happens in due time, as it’s meant to. The blueprint from heaven made manifest on earth. It’s more than can be seen with human eyes. Trust and know, you only...

November Angel Message: Flowing

Here is November's monthly message from the angels. Enjoy! Allow yourself to flow. The human mind wishes to analyze, calculate, and figure everything out. That, too, has its place, but this weighing is not everything. There is so much more to life, right in this moment. How is your heart? Where is your breath? You, too, are a spark of the Divine, the face of love. “If you could see yourself the way God sees you, you would smile a lot.” Imagine the love you have for a child but multiplied a thousandfold. You are God’s beloved. So don’t worry, and don’t fret. Know how loved you are and allow yourself to simply be. In the moments when you forget yourself, you shine the brightest. Allow...

Staying the Course

The past month has been a lot for us as a family. If I'm being honest, the past two years have been a lot. Some days it feels as if we've been charting a ship through fog. We know there is sun up ahead, clear skies, and beautiful days, and we just have to trust and have faith that we'll get to the other side, even when we can't always see it. I know I'm not alone in these sentiments - was January a tough month for a lot of us? From the cold, to the grey days, to seemingly never-ending Omicron and kids too young to be vaccinated, our plates have been full. At least, ours has felt that way. And yet, there are good...

Taking Time to Connect

Every morning when I wake up, I usually (if I'm awake before my family) have a choice - spend a few minutes meditating and connecting to God/Source, or get out of bed and drink a bunch of coffee. On my best days, I manage to squeeze in both of these things, with meditating coming first (!). I have seen in my own life how much of a difference it makes for the rest of my day. When I forget to meditate, or I get too busy to meditate, my days feel off-kilter, as they often did before I ever learned about a spiritual side of life. Then I never fully connect to myself or something higher, and I am scrambling about for the rest of the...

Lashon Hara & Talking Trash

The past few weeks I've been thinking a lot about the importance of speaking kindly about others, and about how easy and yet how harmful it can be to gossip. Gossip can feel good because it brings us closer to the people we're with, but it is ultimately harmful to ourselves, to the people we're talking to, and to the people we are talking about. How can we stop? It requires real compassion, and an understanding that we don't have the full story on everyone around us. We need to be aware of the power of our words and be truly committed to living a life of love and non-violence. As a dear friend put it, "everyone needs a little grace." I love reminding myself of...

Centering after Social Media

Almost a year ago, I deactivated all my social media accounts. While I had been considering taking a break and had periodically taken breaks from time to time, that day my daughter had asked me a simple question that hit me right in my heart. "Mom, does the Earth get sad if we don't look at it?" Her simple, innocent question gave me pause. It was July 2020 and I was definitely swept up in looking at my phone - not at the earth, and not at the real people around me. While I wasn't a prolific social media poster, I did have active Facebook and Instagram accounts. My personal Instagram account had over a thousand followers at the time. Did I even have a thousand friends? I...

Finding Love Wherever You Are

When the world seems to be falling apart, it can help to remember that this is not all there is. I don't mean to ignore problems and issues in our world, but to see them from a higher perspective. At our core, we are all Love and we are all created from Love. When we get out of alignment with the Love that created us (and how many ways there are to do that!), we may lose touch with that Love, but the Love never goes away. It is always there at your center. It is always there beneath everything in our world. We just need to connect with it. I believe this in large part because of my Spiritually Transformative Experience (STE) - something I've only...

Enjoying Life & Having Fun

Having fun may seem selfish. It may seem fruitless. However, I believe part of why we're here is to have fun, grow, and enjoy life. I would not have been able to write that a few years ago, before I began healing. I know it can seem hard to enjoy life when the world seems unfair and harsh. But there is still joy in the moment, because joy is who you are. I remember being asked many years ago in therapy what made me happy. I couldn't even answer! I didn't know what happiness felt like and I did not know anything that could help me feel that way. So, I started small. I enjoyed nature. I liked flowers. I pulled a thread that eventually brought...

Using Your Will in Alignment with Divine Guidance

As we enter 2021, I felt called to write about finding the balance between using your will and following your inner guidance. Your will is the power you use to create things in the world. Your inner guidance is the promptings you receive from your higher self, spirit guides, and God as to the best path for your soul. Ideally, your will be in balance with your higher guidance. Finding the balance between the two is the sweet spot that will help you create beauty in your life and in the lives of those around you. Before my experience and before learning to heal, I used my will to create that which I wanted in my life. I did not have a sense of something higher...

Letting Go of the Past

As 2020 comes to an end, I’m thinking about letting go of the past. Are there things and people in your past that are clinging to you and not letting go? I can relate! Before my experience with the light, I spent a long time trying to make peace with the past. I did many exercises and went to a lot of therapy. Sometimes it helped, but most of the time, I felt weighed down by the pain of the past. Thankfully, my experience taught me that pure love can heal in an instant. Loving myself with total acceptance has helped me come to peace with myself and what’s come before. While letting go of the past can seem like a very hard thing to do, it...
