Confidence Is Critical
Confidence is critical in the game of life. Stand in your power and speak your truth, because this really raises your confidence level. When you bite your tongue, when you ignore and deny what your true feelings are at the expense of another, or allowing another person to override how you are feeling, it crushes your soul, your beautiful spirit. The more that you do that, the weaker you begin to feel inside.
It’s not about getting into a fight with everybody. It is about lovingly asserting yourself, coming from your heart. Pay attention to the conversations you are having with people. Pay attention to how you are showing up for yourself and when you feel yourself backing down, or not being strong in your thoughts, in your opinions. Pay attention, and see how it feels to express yourself in a new way, differently.
The Season To Restore Harmony And Balance
The Wheel of the Year is turning again after last month’s Autumn Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere and Spring Equinox in the Southern Hemisphere. One can now feel a shift in the air. In both of these seasons I usually feel this change in my body, along with emotions of hope and excitement.
One of my favorite movies to watch again as Autumn approaches is, You’ve Got Mail. Yes, I’m a romantic. To quote the film, “Don’t you love New York in the Fall? It makes me want to buy school supplies. I would send you a bouquet of newly-sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address. On the other hand, this not knowing has its charms.”
In Astrology, most of the planets are now direct again, or moving forward, with the exception of Uranus and Neptune, and we are clear of Mercury Retrograde until mid-November. And Mars is getting back up to speed;, helping with the forward movement.
A Sense of Purpose – A Message From My Guides
We are aware that sometimes life on the Earth plane seems overly difficult, or perhaps even futile at times. Depending on where you are in life, what you have achieved and how satisfied you are with the outcomes, these thoughts can be dreary indeed.
Take heart. There is no magic timeline within which you must accomplish great and wonderful things to impress others. You are at liberty to structure your life in a myriad of ways, in the time frame that suits you best.
Take the opportunity to reframe your criteria for success. There are unlimited possibilities when it comes to realizing your ultimate purpose in life. Each person is unique. No two paths are the same. Your journeys, therefore, will not be identical.
Lost In A Dream
Even if we don’t always recall our dreams, we do have them every night. These are encoded messages from the most honored area, the higher self. There is no negative impact connected to this particular source of information. It is simply an individual guidance system that can help lead us into successful areas, or steer us away from potential danger zones. Once we acknowledge that we react from our thoughts and emotions, and understand what the end results are, we are then able to assist our own motives and create a change in the course we have set out for ourselves.
Dream interpreters can potentially evaluate, analyze and understand what all the signs, symbols, colors, and so on, may mean for us, pertaining to how we are conducting our daily lives. Dreams can hold a wealth of any type of information.
Live A Vibrant Life!
Focus on play and adventure in your daily life. As you tackle any tasks at hand, ask yourself how can I infuse this with fun? Simply smiling more changes the vibration and allows joy to shine brightly. Find a new lightheartedness in your step and your chores will become pleasures, as you focus on laughter and play.
To create adventure, excitement and enthusiasm in your life may be as simple as taking time to watch animals, or smiling as you pass people on the street, where before you would hurry with your head down. It might be stepping outside of your box and planning something with friends and family or maybe doing something delightful that you’ve always wanted to try.
You really can turn anything mundane into something full of life and vibrancy. It’s your attitude that keeps joy from being a dominant force in your life. Once you indulge in the joy of life things not only become easier to accomplish, but it takes less time to get them done.
Speak Your Piece With Archangel Gabriel
Gabriel is known as the angel of communication and God’s messenger in the Abrahamic religious traditions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The Bible tells us it was he who brought the message of Christ’s birth to mankind. As the great communicator Archangel Gabriel can also help us in speaking our piece in life, and empower yourself as a result.
Very often seen with his trumpet in religious art, Gabriel brings us messages from the spirit realm during our sleeping hours. His fabulous angelic presence emanates the most intense white light, which brings about purification wherever it is required.
Gabriel is associated with the element of water. So, whenever you find yourself near a river, the sea, or a lake, you should find that his messages bring particular focus and complete clarity of thought. In fact, Gabriel uses water to its best effect by purifying one’s soul, and helping us to reflect on any matters that may be on our mind.
Live Your Wild, Precious Life!
“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” These words by Mary Oliver is my favorite inspirational quote, which I even use as the postscript in all my letters and emails. No matter our age, we will always have desires. They are an important part of what our soul came here to learn and experience.
In this life we go through it all: love, loss, sickness, grief, anger, hope, and joy. Some of our challenges can knock us off our game and leave us in the land of the lost. We can feel like giving up on love, our dreams and desires, and numb out.
Before the movie The Bucket List was released, I was planning a transition from a fast-paced engineering job. I was contemplating early retirement and I wanted to take some gap time before going full-time in my metaphysical business.
