Angel Message: 4444

This time last year, a memorial service was held for Mom in Virginia.  The angels guided me to make up these memory cards for the family and loved ones who gathered.  It all came together in a last minute effort when I found a photo of Mom dressed as a angel for a Halloween party.  Back at home, I was guided to take a photo for the blog. Angel messages often come in number sequences. I knew the meaning of 444 from Healing with the Angels by Doreen Virtue.  "The angels are surrounding you now, reassuring you of their love and help. Don't worry because the angels' help is nearby. 

 For Mom to appear as an angel in the 4444th picture seemed to add an extra oomph...as  if she had playfully tapped me on the shoulder, reassuring that  all is well and all is as it should be.  There is nothing to fear.

It's so comforting to know that our loved ones live on in a continuous celebration of life.

Enjoy your day with the Angels.

Putting It All Together: An Angel Message

Okay, I've never been any good at assembling things...or I should say...I never thought I was any good--but that's mostly because I was afraid of botching it up, and shied away.  Yesterday at the store, on a whim, I picked out a hot pink mesh office chair to charge my creative juices as well as to give needed support to my back.  

At home, with the chair box and all the parts on the floor, things went smoothly as far as unwrapping the cushions and lining up the bolts, but when I tried popping in the five caster rollers...the first two were a snap...then I hit a snag.  I called on the Angels and with a little extra pressure, the other three were soon rolling along, too. 

The new chair was soon assembled, pretty and pink. I must have chosen wisely because Angel spent the entire evening warming it up for me. 

It was a good lesson on not setting limitations.  How do you know what you can do, if you don't try?  Follow the directions, and do your best.  If needed, call on the angels for help and watch how things come together effortlessly. 

Now for some creative ideas...Angels...

Enjoy your day with the Angels.

Wonderful Wonderful: An Angel Message

                             (Virginia Beach Sunrise -R.K Hauck)


I love when angel messages are delivered in song...especially in those moments between sleep and wakefulness when a long forgotten melody wings its way through your mind...vaguely familiar...you try to remember the source. Then a few verses take hold and you've got it. A  song in the night can touch your heart by reminding you just how much you are loved by the Divine. 

Such an experience occurred several nights ago when feeling rather down.  In the wee hours as I turned over in bed, I was stirred awake by a song  in my head. I loved the melody.  Knowing it was an angel message, I tried to catch the title, playing with the tune over and over. Then a verse came to me: "The world is filled with wondrous things its true, but they wouldn't have much meaning without you."  I recognized an old high school favorite,  Wonderful Wonderful, the Johnny Mathis hit. Later, I found this "wonderful" video on YouTube. Here's the link. Enjoy! and imagine your guardian angel singing to you.

Miracle Bubbles - An Angel Message

                             (photo Wikimedia Commons)

Remember blowing bubbles as a child?  The beautiful swirling colors in an incredibly fragile sphere that brought wonder and joy.  When they popped, what did you do? Blow even more bubbles. Bubbles can symbolize our hopes and our dreams.   Elliot returned home from an errand last week with a surprise for me.  A  bottle of bubbles with four special wands--just for the fun of it. We had a good laugh when I pointed out the label, Miracle Bubbles. 

According to A Course in Miracles, a miracle is a shift in perception; when they don't occur something has gone wrong.  The angels remind us to capture the innocence of the inner child and find joy in the simple things in life. The miracle is in every moment. 

Enjoy your day with the Angels.

John Lennon Statue - "Imagine"

 In 2011 while sightseeing in Mount Dora, my husband, Elliot and I came upon a life size statue of John Lennon sitting on a park bench. I was struck by his pose, arms opened wide, embracing the world with a peaceful upward gaze.  

 A closer look revealed that someone had given John a half pair of eye glasses. Zooming in with my camera, I was surprised to see a lizard posing on the sign post, IMAGINE. 

Lizard represents dream time...

The lyrics to John's song made me smile.  "Imagine all the people living life in peace."  

"...You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one."

Love and peaceful blessings,

Autumn Equinox - Welcome Archangel Michael

                                                     (photo from Wikimedia Commons)

What a wonderful way to begin the Autumn Equinox this morning as I heard the President comment on the beautiful day the Lord has made. In the  sunlight Pope Francis and President Obama stood side by side in a sacred moment of silence.  I could feel a holy hush over the crowd of 15,000 gathered on the White House lawn.    Pope Francis brings the soulful message for us each to become more loving people.   His joyful smiling face radiates a tenderness and love for all people.  The Pope spoke about change, and so change is happening in the celestial realm as well today.

Archangel Michael. the governor of  Autumn, takes the reins from Archangel Uriel who guided us through a fiery purification this summer.  Now is the time of harvest, a time to shed the old to prepare for the new.   It is also a time to plant seeds for next year's harvest.

Archangel Michael is the warrior who helps  us to triumph over our own negativity.  Michael's name translates from the Hebrew as "Look Like God".  Historically he is the protector of both Israel and the Catholic Church.  Also known as the patron saint of police officers, soldiers,  and small children, he watches over pilgrims and strangers.  Archangel Michael also comes to assist each seeker on the spiritual path and is known as Lord of the Way while Christ is known as the Way.  Call on him whenever you are feeling fearful about your life.  He will guide you to fulfill your destiny.

Under Michael's rule, it is a testing time for the soul.  For some, it may be a willingness to give up that which is most cherished or sacred.  The good news is that when we pass our tests, a spiritual compensation awaits us.  And, also during these trials, there is always extra spiritual guidance available.  It is an excellent time to connect through nature.  

Love and joyful blessings,

The Woodpecker: An Angel Message

    (Woody across the street on 9-18-15)

This morning Elliot and I were surprised by a loud distinct whistle coming from across the street.  We had just stepped out the front door on our way to the lake.  With the zoom, I saw this red-headed beauty topping our neighbor's old lifeless tree.   The "call for a photo op" from this winged one seemed so deliberate that I looked up the symbolism of the woodpecker again.  The red crest reflects a stimulation, an awakening of new mental faculties.  The drumming indicates the power of rhythm and a need to follow our own unique "calling".  When a woodpecker shows up, you now have a solid foundation to move in any direction. 

 
In Angel Messages - The Oracle of the Birds, Claire Nahmad writes:  "Trees especially the fig tree, are emblems of the Goddess, and when the woodpecker comes to you, Divine Mother holds you in her embrace of love and wisdom, and gently soothes and nurtures your soul bringing healing balm to your wounds, whether sustained from life's stony path, or from the process of growth and putting forth."

Thank you, Woody.  If you're reading this now, the message applies to you, too.

Enjoy your day with the Angels.  All is well.

Love and joyful blessings,

The Pink Flamingo: An Angel Message

                             (Wikimedia Commons: Photo)


There's something special about pink flamingos that peaks the imagination and brightens the day. Recently I found a stash of large plastic ones at Lowe's. Joyfully they took up residence around the bird bath, adding a lovely shade of pink to the green garden.   

In her book Angel Messages, The Oracle of Birds, Claire Nahmad tells us:

This beautiful exotic bird gains its fairy tale plumage from volcanic lakes and mineral spas which are warm and sulphurous.  It has gleaned an angelic harvest from the hot, explosive points upon the Earth's surface.  When we command the elemental furnaces within us in full consciousness of the directives of the spiritually-luminous soul, we shine with the beauty of the morning, with the poignancy of evening, and with the noon's full strength.  No foul or dismal weather oppresses us, and no storms shake our foundations.  

She goes on to say:  The pink flamingo glows with the colour of the rose, which is an emblem of love both human and divine.

When I took this photo just now, a touch of synchronicity was at play as I noticed the nearby garden plaque:

Happiness

   lives 

 in hearts that

    Love.

Enjoy a loving  day with your Angels.

Love and joyful blessings,

Remembering 9-11

    Blue Heron - 9/11/15 Earl Brown Park

"My heart is beating in the peace of God."

Surrounding me is all the life that God created in His Love. It calls to me in

every heartbeat and in every breath; in every action and in every thought.

Peace fills my heart, and floods my body with the purpose of forgiveness."

                        Lesson 267, A Course in Miracles

On the drive to the park this morning, Main Street was lined with American flags.  The lake was still, the birds on land, waiting. Flocks of ibis and ducks ran toward us in hopes of a meal.  They peacefully congregated as we doled out handfuls of dry nuggets.  Satisfied, they walked on and so did we.  Elliot pointed out a beautiful blue heron on the hill, but I couldn't see it at first.  That's because I was looking in the wrong place, on the other side of the lake, thinking he meant "over there", but then I spotted it. Much closer, on our side, at the waters edge.    With the zoom, I captured the heron's  peaceful stance as she patiently waits, intent on the goal.  

May we be as focused on the goal of peace today, recognizing that it is much closer than we think, it is in our every thought and action.  Our prayers go out to all the families who lost loved ones on September 11th. 

Love and joyful blessings,


Rae Karen 

Great White Heron - Angel Message

                              White Egret - 9/9/15 Earl Brown Park


This elegant Great Heron seemed to be posing near the path as Elliot and I began our walk today. Her stance reminded me of Vanna White and the letter "S" on The Wheel of Fortune.  When I got home, I learned that the white heron  bears the promise of purification and fulfillment on a more intense scale.  "The white heron speaks of the dazzling sun-centre of our being, the heart and the shining brow.  It speaks of the Bright Knowledge, and of spiritual achievement and healing beyond time and space."  (Angel Messages, The Oracle of the Birds by Claire Nahmad)

What joy to see how perfect this message follows the swan "pyramid of light" yesterday. 

God speaks to us in nature and the "S" is a timely reminder to stay Spirit-minded.
It's wonderful to watch for what inspiration will unfold each day.  The more we tune-in, the more we will experience the joy of knowing that we are never alone.
Enjoy your day with the Angels.

Love and joyful blessings,

Swan - Pyramid of Light: An Angel Message

What a surprise to see a pyramid of light formed by the shadow of this swan's graceful neck as she preened in the sunshine today.    In the dictionary, one definition for pyramid  is to increase rapidly step by step on a broad base. As shown in the photo, it is through the shadow that the foundation of light is seen.   I took this to be an encouraging message that as we go through our dark times, the inner light is already there waiting to shine out.

Enjoy your day with the Angels.

Love and joyful blessings,

Cormorant: An Angel Message

Yesterday on my walk, I saw a pool of concentric circles emanating on the clear smooth lake, with no sign around of the source.   It looked like someone had tossed in  a stone creating a widespread rippling effect on the water. Then, up from the depths, emerged a large bird.  A cormorant!  After preening, he opened his expansive wings to air out in the breeze.  Or, maybe--he was showing the other birds how big the fish are in the deep.  "This BIG!"

This fisher bird has sometimes been called an underwater falcon.  I learned, too, that when one appears, it signals a need to dive  deeper for solutions.  Trust in your own methods--you will accomplish things in unique ways unlike others. You will reach your goal, but you must go deep within.

Enjoy your day with the Angels,

Love and joyful blessings,


Rae Karen
