Angel on the Keyboard

Music is a bridge to the Infinite and I've often read how Angels hover nearby whenever a musical instrument is played. This morning our cat, Angel, jumped up on the keyboard and somehow turned it on. Then she hit a few notes with her paw. This timely "recital" added emphasis to something important just said. For an encore, she laid down on the auto play and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star filled the room. A wonderful reminder for all of us to keep on shining!

Enjoy your day with the Angels,

Pansy Power

Everything seemed to be "coming down" at once yesterday morning. My perception getting cloudier with all the processing going on. Then from the sofa in the living room, I saw this wild flower, a pansy volunteer, had somehow bloomed underneath the deck. I got the notion that this was a deliberate message...and it involved trust. Out of great odds, this sweet blossom unfolded on the edge of darkness in a bed of lava rocks. All things are possible, and it performed this blessed act without any help from me....another message...to let go and let God.

Out of curiosity I looked up pansy in Nature-Speak. "Pansy, which means "To weight or consider", is a flower whose message alerts us to think things through before acting for actions taken now will have long range-effects."

The pansies are flat-faced, reflecting openness, and are symbolic of being open to all possibilities. I am grateful for the message as life is accelerating at a faster speed and it's important to stop and reflect on God's Love before jumping into reaction mode.

Enjoy your day with the Angels,

On the Road to Success

Yesterday morning Elliot and I were on our home from the bank. To our surprise, this beautiful white heron landed in the middle of New Bridge Road. No traffic was coming and luckily I'd listened to an angelic prompt to bring my camera with me. As Elliot drove slowly forward, I kept snapping away, but this big bird was in no hurry to take off. His focus so deliberate or else he just wanted to be in the lime light.

Later at home, I looked up the symbolism of white heron in Angel Messages, The Oracle of the Birds. The author, Claire Nahmad writes:

"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." Nahmad ends by saying, "The little egret calls: 'The fruition of all your striving is at hand, for your season has come!'"

The angels wanted us all to know that we are all on the verge of a break-through. Thank you, white heron for being our messenger.

Many blessings,

Karen

Silhouettes in the Sand

Elliot and I went to the beach on the morning of my birthday. Someone had drawn this circle in the sand and it reminded me of an eye. Playfully, I got a picture of our shadows in "the eye of God" and then we turned around to focus on the true Light of a beautiful new sunrise. Now I'm working hard to master this in a practical way in everyday life. Angels.... please... help!

Blessings,

Karen

A Change of Heart

Things are not always as they appear... It can be upsetting when our lives suddenly take a turn in a totally opposite direction. What is going on? Plans suddenly go awry, seemingly solid relationships break up like icebergs, and we are alone with only our thoughts for company.

Which way to go? At the crossroads, we are truly at the apex of our power. The results depend on how masterfully we can control our emotions and stay in our "center". Stilling our mind, looking deeper, solutions come by prayerfully asking for a higher vision of what is really going on, versus what is being played out in the material world.

We find the simple truth.

Underneath all the chaos, which is designed to help us grow spiritually, the Love of God is always there. At no time is Divine Love absent. Only in our own thinking can we move away from that truth and feel separate, isolated, and alone to face the tall shadows of fear. It's humbling to know that we can't always fix the problem, but Divine Love can and will... if we open up to the possibility that this is so.

Can it really be as simple as a change of heart?

We can't serve two masters. The choice is ours, and we will see according to our belief.

May we open up our minds to entertain the divine messengers of God's Thoughts, the angels, to guide us in love and wisdom.

Blessings,

Karen

The Summer Acceleration

(Archangel Michael artwork from the web)

Everything seems to be happening in acceleration mode. Yesterday looking out the window I could see "energies" raining down. I knew we were in for a quickening but this is something else. A friend in New York told me that whatever we are processing now is more than likely the same issue that confronted us in '92 during a special eclipse. I've experienced this to be true and in asking a few people they agreed. This time hopefully will be the final Rinso-white clearing and we'll be squeaky clean, translating the final vestiges into light. It's no fun though, as we go through the emotional turmoils that afford us an opportunity to keep our egos on a short chain and stay vigilant for Archangel Michael who is here to help us overcome any obstacles that try to thwart our spiritual growth.

In the Edgar Cayce readings on angels, we learn that our true Self is the Guardian Angel that never left the Throne of Grace and Mercy. This throne is not a physical place but a state of consciousness. The Archangel Michael is the Intercessor for every soul that becomes a seeker on the spiritual path. He, too, stands at the Throne, ready to help so long as we pursue spiritual truths in the material world.

The way to keep attuned to our Guardian Angel (this divine part of our selves) is to practice staying in the presence of the Christ consciousness until it becomes a way of life. In every decision we make, we have free will: To either embrace the Light or stumble fearfully in the darkness. The more we work our spiritual muscle, affirming the truth of who we are, (the divine immortal part) the more accessible we become to higher consciousness where inspiration comes in many ways to help us achieve our life's purpose: To make manifest the love of God and man.

I am so thankful to Edgar Cayce for giving us a better understanding of the Unseen Forces, the Angels who help us quicken our awareness in the material plane. The readings tell us that angels come in many guises and when we open our hearts to the celestial realm, He will give His Angels charge over us in all our ways.

The more we invite the Angels into our lives, the more palpable they become and we begin to truly know that we are not alone.

Many blessings,

The Prayerful Tree Frog

My son and I went out on the deck to study our lesson from The Christ Highway. When I opened up the umbrella, this little "fellah" was already holding the space. We left the umbrella at half mast so as not to disturb his vigil. He stayed "put" for the whole lesson which happened to be: "I bless all the world in the Name of Jesus Christ."

This summer is a time of great transition, seeing a frog is a wonderful acronym for (F)ully(R)rely (O)n (G)od. God is Love and nothing is impossible for those who believe in Him...

Enjoy your day with the Angels!

Diamond Backs on the Runway.

(picture of diamond back terrapin from the web)



The airport is not always just a place for arrivals and departures of jet planes, as we learned this week, it can be a road to travel to get to the best place to lay our eggs (creativity).

Elliot and I flew to NY on Thursday evening, June 29th, landing at JFK by sunset. In the past I've found it so helpful to welcome the guardian angels of the city I'm visiting. If you think about the population of that city, knowing that each person living there has a guardian angel, you soon realize that you are on holy ground. So when we got an expected call that Elliot's father had passed over that morning, I began calling on the guardian angels of NYC. We had to be in Long Island the next day at noon for the funeral service.

I remembered also that Angels are God's representatives, His winged thoughts embodying divine love, wisdom and healing. I hadn't been on an airplane in over 10 years, but our flight plans came together smoothly. We even arrived at the airport in time enough to take an earlier flight out. The 45 minute flight to Kennedy was a test of faith. Air turbulence had me recalling that I am in the midst of legions of Angels and so I began silently affirming that God is Love. A peacefulness enfolded me and we had a beautiful vista of the NY skyline as we landed. The terminal was backed up, so for 20 minutes our pilot drove around and around on the tarmac.

How surprised we were the next day to read about the herd of 150 diamond back terrapins "storming" the runways at JFK early that morning, the day of our flight. They were making an annual pilgrimage to the Bay to lay their eggs. The "Angels" helped escort the wayward turtles, rescuing them in trucks and driving them to their destination, while major airlines were rerouted or flights delayed for 30 minutes.

Something about that story hit a chord in my heart.

I thought about the determination of those female terrapins to fulfill their life's purpose. In the midst of chaos, lumbering across the tarmac, in the path of 747s, they kept on doing their best, leaving the rest up to God. Although their trek was precarious, they didn't turn back, but kept moving forward in a steady pace, sticking out their necks to get ahead. Their perseverance paid off. They received a helping hand(s) and were safely delivered to the sandy shores to lay their eggs. Again, I was reminded of the race between the tortoise and the hare...Only this time, the "turtle" won the race again, but so did humanity as airline officials yielded to the quest of nature, slowing down our advanced technology to meet the needs of motherhood, creating a moment of heaven on earth. It was truly a win-win.

The message of the terrapin was an important one. No matter what the externals look like, keep following your intuition and help will get you to where you need to be to develop your creativity.

Wishing you a joyful day with your Angels,

Karen

The Perfect Spot

I took this photo at The Perfect Spot in Florida. A little sandwich shop at the local sky diving scene. What fun to eat lunch and watch the colorful chutes float by the restaurant window making a graceful landing. It looked like fun to open up and embrace the blue sky, so much so I wanted to give it a try. I wish I could say this is me you see, but I got cold feet when a dud chute dropped to the ground like a straight pin. Although riderless, that impression didn't give me the courage I needed to make a leap at that time.

I realized that when planning a leap of faith, it's good to pack your own chute, but without you, there is no action. Someone needs to pull the chord to take a ride. We may board the plane, fly up to the right elevation, but unless we follow through with a courageous jump, it's just another dud with good intentions. This is true for whatever we do, we must put ourselves into "it" in order to achieve success. When faced with trying out new things, I try to remember I am not alone, but in the company of God's Angels as I begin to take flight. So maybe next time...I'll take action at the perfect spot.

Wishing you a joyful day with your Angels.

Just A Dream

This car was parked at Ruby Tuesday's where we stopped for lunch while on our travels. I loved the reminder of "Just A Dream." In spite of a smashed grill, the license plate affirmed that God is good all the time. Although we may sometimes get a little bruised and dented on the journey to our awakening, the truth about us never changes. We have and always will be perfect, made in God's image.

I like to think of Angels as God's representatives. They come as intuition and pure thoughts from God of Love, Truth and Life. These messengers are available 24/7 if we remember to tune in to the perfection of their Guidance. It's like listening to a radio, the radio waves are constantly bombarding the atmosphere, but unless we turn on the radio, we cannot listen to the broadcast. Can you imagine how wonderful this world would be if we each listened to the guidance of Divine Love (God)? The Bible tells us we have legions of Angels surrounding us. A legion of Roman soldiers numbered 6,000. Let this be an indication of the company we keep. The more I open up and listen, the more I will experience the Angels enriching my Life's experience.

Enjoy your day with the Angels,

Karen

Grow Where You Are Planted

Angels often speak to us in signs, songs, books, and words of a dear friend. So when I passed this marquis at a local church, I took this photo at a stoplight because it was a perfect message for me. Not a new saying, but a wonderful reminder that wherever I happen to be is perfect for my growth. A good measurement for growth is to be vigilant for my thoughts. Am I thinking purposeful positive thoughts? Or am I filled with resentment, anger, and frustration? Have I learned to be more tolerant and patient with others?

Light attracts light. To the degree I control my mind, I can control my actions. I can keep them at a higher altitude, above the clouds of confusion and doubt. I can fly in the sunshine. Growth to me means reaching a higher state of consciousness, stretching beyond the five senses and connecting with the peace of the Christ consciousness. Some days it is easier than others, but hopefully I'm quicker on pulling back on the throttle rather than throttling someone.

The Angels are here to help us quicken our higher consciousness and so the more I remember to ask for help, the easier it becomes to stay at peace or get back to center after turbulent conditions.

Enjoy your day with the Angels.

The Full Moon, The Eclipse, and the Rainbow

How many of you saw the rainbow here at the beach the evening of the full moon? We were on our way to a meeting. I love the rainbow as a sign of God's promise. I remember years ago being warned of the emotional climate prior to a full moon. Seven days before the moon reaches its peak, we are building up to the height of our manifestation power at the full moon. Opposition often arises to thwart us, especially with sensitive issues where we are the most vulnerable. So it is wise to remain vigilant for all the little nuisances that can knock us off our center. If you can, do your best not to react but maintain peace. A good way to safeguard against emotional turbulence is to call on Archangel Michael to go before you and make your path straight and clear. And get ready for a miracle!

Angelic blessings,

Karen
