Happy Autumn Solstice 2022


Welcome Archangel Michael, the Governor of Autumn.  His name means "Who Is Like God".

Today marks the Autumn Solstice, the beginning of a new season for growth.   A powerful time for shedding the old to prepare for the new, while also maintaining balance in the physical and the spiritual.  During this season, dreams will often reveal much about our values.  
 
Autumn also brings a testing of the lower consciousness, regarding our judgment. When we pass these tests, there will be spiritual rewards.  During this time, we have access to spiritual guidance, especially through contact with nature, meditation, and prayer.  
 
Archangel Michael offers his dynamic assistance to provide protection and balance.  With his mighty flaming sword, he will cut away, and purify what no longer serves you.

Archangel Michael is accessible to every seeker on the spiritual path.  The Archangel in charge of change, he brings the gift of patience.  Often known as the Dragon Slayer as well as the Prince of Light, he helps us to face our own personal dragons that we have pretended do not exist. The dragon is associated with our lower-self, our fears.  Archangel Michael will aid in transmuting shadows into the light of new beginnings.

With his help, this can be a beneficial season in which to take courage, and make new decisions that will lead to more freedom of expression for the highest good of all. 
 
So remember to call for Archangel Michael's help in areas where you need more courage to face your fears. He assists in the great overcoming.
 
 Happy Autumn Solstice!

A Tiny Jewel in the Sun: An Angel Message

One thing leads to another, and, this morning was no exception.  Recent winds pruned the tall palms, and scattered their dead broom-like branches in the back yard. That's when I noticed the tiniest jewel. A little treefrog glistened in hues of green and gold atop my long forgotten Frangipani plant as it basked on a green leaf. 


So taken by the little frog, I didn't notice the resurrection energy of this once barren plant.  Only a tall lifeless stick when I brought her here in 2020. I couldn't let it go. It had been a birthday gift from a good friend in 2016. Although we lost touch over the years, I tucked it out by the garage, and heard to just let it be. 

I was glad I listened.  The Frangipani had rebounded in an abundant coat of green healthy leaves. Crowned by a tiny little tree frog, smaller than a dime, it was one of those angel lessons from nature that makes perfect sense. To F.R.O.G. it! Fully Rely On God.  A wonderful illustration that faith no bigger than a mustard seed can move mountains.

For fun, I looked up the symbolism of the Frangipani (plumeria) in Nature-Speak.  To have faith in yourself and in the higher forces of the universe and to aspire for more. 

I glanced over at the nearby fountain pool, once the home of the tree frog.  It was teeming with little tadpoles who one day will grow and evolve to rest in their place in the sun.   

 

 Enjoy your day with the angels.   Remember you are never alone.  Invite your Guardian Angel to help you as you go about your day. You'll be glad you did.

Love and peace,

A Happy Brood: An Angel Message

 

What joy to see these happy little heartbeats at the lake this morning.  Nine fuzzy baby ducklings popped up out of the water to enjoy a breakfast of cracked corn with the flock.  

Ducks represent emotional comfort and protection.  All ducks can swim and have a grace upon the water.  They teach how to maneuver through various waters of life. Ducks return to places where they feel safe and comfortable.   They have an ability to show affection and help us to move through emotional tangles by examining our feelings.  

When I looked up at the sky, a rainbow prism glistened in a wispy cloud. It topped off the beautiful morning with an angelic touch.  I was thankful my guardian angel guided me to bring extra cracked corn. A flock of 14 ducks, and 9 little ducklings were glad I listened. 

Enjoy your day with your angels, and remember you are never alone.  A powerful celestial companion is by your side waiting to lovingly commune with you throughout your daily affairs.  You won't regret the invitation to share the journey with him or her.  The ordinary will become extraordinary.

Love and peace,

Ink Joy: An Angel Message

 Yesterday I discovered Mom's old silver-and-blue Paper Mate pen (with 2 little hearts on it) was missing from its usual place in the sunflower cup on my desk.  This was her special pen she used to write notes to excuse me from school.  I looked everywhere for it, and then had to let it go.

This morning, I grabbed a fat, blue plastic pen out of the nightstand drawer to write in my journal.  As the pen moved across the empty page, the logo InkJoy caught my eyes along with the two little hearts that separated Paper Mate.  Mom's love was still coming through!  It was one of those AHA! angel moments.  The writing instrument isn't important as long as you fill up the blank page in your Book of Life today with joy ink.  

Love and peace,

Your Loved Ones: An Angel Message

Divine timing always sneaks up and gently taps our soul with a heartfelt touch of heaven just when needed the most.  Yesterday at dinner time, a beautiful LARGE golden damselfly flitted by the sun room window. An extra pair of diaphanous wings distinguished it from a dragonfly.   Immediately I thought of my dear writer friend Joanna who transitioned in 2018. Dragonflies had always been a special sign that her departed husband Jack was close by, watching over her from the other side.  

It may seem rather silly, but I smiled.  Hello Joanna! 

To my surprise, this ethereal beauty landed on the raised arm of the yellow metal bench. Soft rainbow hues danced and glistened on radiant wings.  So close was the beautiful damselfly that I could have reached out and touched her, except for a thick plated glass that separated our visit.  She seemed content to rest on the sun-drenched bench for a spell while we ate our dinner. Joanna and I had shared many inspiring meals together.  And just that morning,  I'd been missing my sweet friend, and sent out loving thoughts and gratitude for our friendship.   

But the best was yet to be.  

When it was time to depart, I watched her flit those beautiful wings, and disappear around the corner. What happened next was one of those unforgettable moments.   I heard the beat of her wings gently tapping on the sun-room window pane behind me. 

Until next time.  I called out. Thank you, Joanna!

 This morning's, daily inspiration in God Calling had a touch of synchronicity. The language of angels.  Your Loved Ones:

"YOUR loved ones are very safe in My Keeping. Learning and loving and working, theirs is a life of happiness and progress.  They live to serve, and serve they truly do.  They serve Me and those they love.  Ceaselessly they serve.

But their ministrations, so many, so diverse, you see no more than those in My time on earth in human form could have seen the angels who ministered unto Me in the wilderness.

How often mortals rush to earthly friends who can serve them in so limited a way, when the friends who are freed from the limitations of humanity can serve them so much better, understand better, protect better, plan better, and even plead better their cause with me.

You do well to remember your friends in the Unseen.  Companying with them the more you live in this Unseen World the gentler will be your passing when it comes.  Earth's troubles and difficulties will seem, even now, less overwhelming as you look,  not at the things that are seen but at the real Eternal Life.

"And this is Life Eternal that we may know Thee, the Only True God, and Jesus Christ whom Thou has sent."

Learning to know Me draws that Kingdom very near, and in Me, and through Knowledge of Me, the dear ones there become very near and dear.   

In closing, this morning after I'd written the blog, a beautiful turquoise damselfly flitted by me as I opened the back door.  She landed in the driveway by the car on our way to feed the ducks at the lake.  

A reminder that we too can shine today like the light of a dragonfly. 

Love and peace,
