A Missing Angel: Ask for Help

                             Angel soaking up the sunlight


Early last night I heard a strange rustling sound in the sun room. My first thought was Angel had found a little creature, but then I couldn't find our cat anywhere.  The noise had come from under the crawlspace of the house.  Elliot and I searched in all her favorite spots, but no Angel.  A call for desperate action, I shook her jarful of nuggets which always sends her running for a treat. No Angel.  I knew then something was up with our indoor cat.  With a flashlight, I searched the yard.   

Coming back inside to look again, I remembered to ask the Angels for help.  That's when I began to feel more peaceful.  An idea came to shake a brown bag on the patio while I waited and watched for her in the dark.  I sat rattling my big bag calling out, Angel!  Angel! 

The results were amazing.  In less than a minute, that little Angel slinked down the driveway and scurried into the house. A refined house cat, she was happy to be safe at home again.  I was so thankful to the Angels!   If I hadn't heard that loud rustle warning, no telling where Angel may be now.  This morning I was especially grateful when she jumped up on our bed, ready for her breakfast.  What joy to see those bright green eyes and cute little pink nose in my face.

Enjoy your day with the Angels.  And, remember to ask them for help. That's why they are with you and they love you.

Love and joyful blessings,

A Peacock Mystery: An Angel Message

                             The Peacock Bracelet


Early this morning, my bare feet stepped on a strange object in the bedroom!  To my surprise, I found my peacock stone bracelet on the floor. And, I didn't even know it was lost! An angel assignment for sure, I wondered about the "hidden" message.  Knowing peacock is a symbol of watchfulness; their feathered markings appear as many eyes, I was thankful for the heads up.  Stay positive.

Still it was a mystery--I hadn't worn the bracelet in months. Like that childhood game of Clue, I tried to piece the puzzle together. Who dunn it?  Miss Peacock in the Library? Colonel Mustard in the Kitchen?  Mustard is always a sign to have more faith in God than in yourself.  In this case, I have a funny feeling it was Angel, our tuxedo cat, in the bedroom, who swatted it off the dresser. But I kept it in the jewelry box, so...

I looked up the symbolism of a peacock. The keynote for this exotic bird is New Cycle of Death and Resurrection.

 "When peacock appears, it is a strong reminder that anything lost will be replaced by something new and more beneficial."  (Ted Andrews)   I chuckled at the synchronicity and my lost bracelet.  

The peacock has large feet, and feet represent dominion, support, and discipleship. So know that whatever you are going through, you are never alone. The angels remind us that we don't always understand why things become difficult, or don't work out as planned, until we've completed the process. 

The good news is the resurrection energy brings us into a better place and afterwards we are grateful that it did. So keep watchful, don't lose your Christ consciousness. Change can be peaceful, if we just stay in the flow and keep having faith.

Enjoy your day with the Angels.

Love and joyful blessings,

An Ant on Patience: An Angel Message

Everything is important in nature--all the creatures of the earth, the things that fly and the things that creep or crawl. With an open heart, we can make a shift from learning about nature to learning from her. Although a gradual process, it can be most rewarding.

For instance,  nothing is so annoying as to find ants in the house. Interesting though, I've noticed, in the past, they show up just when I need to practice the art of patience the most...just when I think I can't stand another minute of...whatever...is bugging me.  Yesterday was one of those best of days and worse of days, but I'll spare you the details.  To my surprise, early this morning, a lone ant appeared on the rim of the tub while I was bathing.  Not too big, not too small, but large enough for me to recognize an ant.  Patience!  With the message delivered, he  disappeared.  

At breakfast, I told Elliot. Then shared wisdom from Medicine Cards Book on our visitor:  Ants are excellent builders and community workers for the good of the Queen and the whole hive.  Self-sacrificing, an ant will haul a leaf hundreds of miles back to the anthill.  Each one is part of the "group ant consciousness".  

When an ant shows up, ask yourself, are you working for the good of all?   If so, know the universe wants that goodness to come to you, too.  If it hasn't yet appeared, do something creative while you are patiently waiting.  Ant "people" know that what is theirs will come to them at the time most needed."  They have patience, trusting in the Universe.

Elliot listened and then shared an unusual encounter from yesterday morning. An insect hit him in the nose as it fell from the hallway ceiling.  Startled, he looked down and saw a medium sized brown ant  on the floor.  More patience... Who doesn't need patience these days, but the angels remind us to keep having faith in God and the angels. What is yours will come to you.

Enjoy your day with the Angels, and watch for subtle ways the world reflects your inner life.

Can You Hear the Whistle Blowing? An Angel Message

                                      Photo: Wikimedia Commons

Our neighborhood is not far from the railroad tracks and on occasion I hear the train whistle blow from the station.  It stirs up memories of visiting my grandparents in Indiana. Sleeping by an open window on a floor mattress, the lone night whistle awakened restless dreams of travel. An adventure was waiting to be had.

I LOVE to hear the whistle blow.  Something funny happened the last time the train let out a toot.  

 Elliot and I were in the living room talking when I first heard it. I stopped talking to listen, cheering it on, Woo Woo!.  

To my surprise, the whistle blew again... Louder and longer in a harmonic tone that seemed to match my childlike enthusiasm.  

I'm glad Elliot is a witness.  I was stretched out on the sofa when the whistle blew again.  This time a loud familiar tune:  "Shave and a hair cut, two bits!"  

We both burst out laughing.  Maybe your Mom is having fun on the other side, Elliot joked.

 I was thankful for the reminder nothing great can happen without enthusiasm! 

Enjoy your day with the Angels.

Love and joyful blessings,

The Crystal Pentagon: An Angel Message

Last evening I ran into Bell's while Elliot picked up a print cartridge next door at Office Depot.  The angels seemed to have me on a mission as I found myself sifting through the colorful journals and notepads on a shelf. That's when I discovered an unusual paperweight in a white gift box. At first glance I took it to be a pentagon, A crystal pentagon--the only one.  Its clarity sparkled as I examined it in my hand.  A pentagon seemed significant--but not trusting my intuition, I looked for and found the PENTAGON label on the bottom of the box.  I thought about the significance of this five-sided symbol. Unlike the 4-sided square, it represents freedom and expansion, no longer subject to the limiting repetitive pattern of the "4".      

So if you've been feeling out of sorts lately--not like your old self--yet not quite coming into your new, take heart, liberation is at hand.  We're all in the midst of a celestial expansion taking shape in our lives.  The angels are here to help humanity with the acceleration.  Daily meditation and prayer are keys to a smoother transition.

Enjoy your day with the Angels.

Staying on the Beam: An Angel Message

This morning, from our bedroom window, an unusual sight caught my eye. Our neighbor's TV satellite dish had fallen off his roof and landed on a cable cord.  Upside down the dish was swinging in the breeze, way off the beam.    

Knowing there are no coincidences, I wondered about the personal message.    

It seemed like a good metaphor for our spiritual path. We all have a satellite dish, but unless we keep it anchored on the roof, aimed upward, we'll miss the loving, helpful angel messages that constantly fill the air waves.   

Enjoy your day with the Angels.  And try to stay tuned by keeping your thoughts on High, ready to receive inspiration and guidance from above.  God is Love 24/7.

Love and joyful blessings,

A Moth Calling Card: An Angel Message

Early this morning on my way out to photograph the sun-filled  maroon Ti plants, another "light-attracted visitor" caught my eye. Plastered on the  backdoor like a calling card, this unusual moth had a message.   Moths and butterflies always reflect transformation.  The emergence of the moth from a cocoon is the final stage of development, a new birth is awakening.  What was hidden inside--talents, blessings,--is coming into full view.  As we all know, moths are attracted to the light, and this morning it was especially mystical in the garden.  

Curious, I looked up the symbolism of the Ti plants. Turns out they're a member of the lily family.  In ancient Polynesia, this colorful plant was an emblem of high rank and divine power.   A lily also symbolizes a time of new birth, as the Archangel Gabriel is often depicted in the Annunciation with a white lily for Mary.  

How wonderful that these nature messages just appear-- the angels guarantee delivery as they inspire hopeful change is in the air.  Nature speaks...and the more you pay attention...the more you'll begin to see the Light. Naturally, you'll gravitate toward the places and things you are meant to experience. Life takes on a whole new dimension, and what blesses one, blesses all.

(The moth plastered on the backdoor like a calling card!)

So be sure to watch for angel messages that may come your way today in many shapes, forms, and sizes, you'll be glad you did.

Super Slug: An Angel Message

Only one strange visitor came to our house for Halloween, I discovered this slug on our front porch door early the next morning. A day late for trick or treating, but on time for All Saints' Day, I wondered about his message. I hurried to investigate, knowing it must have something to do with moving too slow. To my surprise, in my Animal-Speak Pocket Guide,  slug symbolizes move to the light.  "No shortcuts exist right now.   Illumination is at hand.  Appearances are deceiving, but you have found your path."

More research revealed the slug is a member of the snail family without a shell.  It turns out to be an ancient divination tool often considered sacred.  Its slimy trail was guidance in the direction of life decisions.  This one was upside down...

The slug is also related to the letter yud in the Hebrew alphabet, both are shaped similarly.  When the slug appears, we are opening to receive a higher vision.  A new path is opening. We are setting an intention to accept change in our life.

This slug is the first I've seen in Florida.  When nature poses in the most unlikely manner, and especially appears at our front door, it can be enlightening to explore the significance. With all the global challenges as well as personal trials, I believe each of us is moving through the darkness into the light of a new path. 

Have a joyful day with the Angels.


Love and joyful blessings,

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.

Love and joyful blessings,

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.

Love and joyful blessings,
