Buttercups - An Angel Message

                                          A Happy Buttercup in the Meditation Garden

My Angel card for today is Faith. She brings encouragement to trust what is yet to be seen.  To have more faith in the unseen than the visible world.  

The buttercups in central Florida (Land of Flowers) are quite different from the wild ones that blanketed the fields and yards in Virginia.  Yellow is the color of faith, and this happy bloom is a joyful reminder that with self-worth and the help of our loving guardian angel, we can succeed in every environment.  The flower is named for its buttery color.  Like sunshine, it brings a time of healing and understanding.  Her message:  Feel free to express yourself like this happy floral messenger. And never lose the innocence of the child.

Enjoy your day with the Angels and share your joy and beauty.

Love and blessings,

The Celestial Month of June: An Angel Message

A cosmic celestial dispensation of Love and Light is here just when needed the most.  So don't give up.  In June, the Gemini Observance known as The Feast of Love occurs as the sun passes through Gemini.  Up until now, Angels and Archangels were in control and we are ever so grateful for their loving dedication.  

Now the exalted Beings known as Cherubim and Seraphim, Hierarchies of Gemini and Cancer, take the lead.   They radiate an  outpouring of mighty Love currents upon the earth, the stabilizing force of this planet. Their radiation as brilliant as ten thousand Suns permeates our entire Earth.   

During this celestial processional, the Divine Lady of Love, the Blessed Virgin Mary. is the central point of focus from which these powerful Love currents are poured upon all humankind.   Mary is not only the Queen of this high Feast, she is also a compassionate and understanding mother to all who seek her help.  

Love is the greatest power in the world.  Love can change all people, things, and conditions. 

I'm reminded of that song,  "What the world needs now is love, sweet love."  It begins when we each learn to trust and open up our heart to give and receive.  

Love and joyful blessings,

Rae Karen

Canna: An Angel Message to Confide in Heaven

Many years ago when I began gardening, a favorite was to bloom, the tropical red canna, tall in stature, bold in blossom, and dressed in a variegated maroon and green leafy foliage.  

When we moved south to Florida, my Virginia cannas made the trip to the Land of Flowers in the car. But the intense heat took a toll on them in the full sun, so now they are happy in a bed shaded by the camphor tree. 

To my delight, yesterday while sitting in the garden, the late afternoon sun tapped me on the shoulder. Turning around, I caught sight of a beauty.  A tall canna stood bathing in the narrow shaft of sunlight between the houses.  

 It just goes to show that sometimes after a major move, a little adjustment helps us bloom at the perfect time in the perfect spot. 

I learned the symbolism of the canna:  Confide in Heaven. 

I was so thankful for the angelic flower message. 


Enjoy your day with the Angels.

A Mother's Day Gift from Nature : Angel Message

On Mother's Day rather than eat at a crowded restaurant, Elliot and I enjoyed a take-out lunch on a picnic table lakeside at Lake Helen. 

After lunch, I sat with my back against an old cypress tree, gazing at the peaceful lake. 

It was a familiar spot as I'd sat on the old trees "knobby knees" when Mom had passed on two years prior. 

 Now looking up, I could see that the old cypress had a fresh canopy of bright green leaves. The joy of springtime!  

Looking down at the intricate roots growing above ground round  the old tree, I saw a white rock embedded in the roots. Curious, I dug it out and discovered my rock was a snail shell! Am I moving too slowly? I wondered, examining the hard empty spiral shell.  Guilt crept in.

But an angel message softly reminded me that life is a journey, an ever expanding spiral upward toward infinity.  

Thankful for the Mother's Day gift from nature, I tucked it in my pocket, to add to our garden.  

Digging into the symbolism of the present, I learned: "Snail is a sign to protect your vulnerable emotions and spirit.  Bring your Holy Inner Child out of the shell.  Look at walls you have built around you."  (Animal Speak Pocket Guide by Ted Andrews)

Enjoy your day with the Angels and ask their help if you have any walls that keep love out. 

Love and joyful blessings,

Manus: An Angel Message (Revised)

A recent visit to historic Saint Augustine in celebration of my birthday presented a surprise. On a stroll back to the hotel after dinner, the glow of sunset lit up this mighty hand holding an obelisk.

A quote from the artist on a plaque.

"The cradling hand is simultaneously reflective of an offering, a gift of security, safety and ultimately, control.  That which we hold in the palm of our hand can have monumental consequences."   KCurry.com

Enjoy your day with the Angels.

Love and joyful blessings,

Archangel Jegudiel

On Sunday I received a text with a question: Have you heard of Archangel Jegudiel?  

No. Out of curiosity, I searched on-line.   My friend had been at a metaphysical book store searching for answers about his career.  While waiting for the cashier to ring up his sale, he turned around and was surprised to see a  powerful angel statue.  At first glance, he thought it was Michael, but a closer look revealed the name of a new angel:  Archangel Jegudiel.  

The Angel's timely appearance seemed divinely deliberate. The answer to a prayer, as this Archangel oversees work and career! He plays an important role by offering wisdom, encouragement, and strength as far as how to best use our God given talents and strengths to serve the world for the glory of God.  Archangel Jegudiel's name means: One who glorifies God.

He can help people in positions of power and leadership who want to honor God while performing their duties of office. We can pray for him to assist our world leaders today during these troublesome times.

Turns out, the statue had been in storage for several months and just recently displayed in the shop.  Synchronicity is the language of the angels and brings a joyful dose of understanding that we are never truly alone.

Enjoy your day with the Angels.

An Iris Beam: An Angel Message

Yesterday afternoon while sitting on the couch, my attention was drawn to a bright shaft of light.  Its unusual presence brought a smile as it appeared to beam from the iris painting on the wall!  

I thanked the angels for the message!  Iris not only represents the promise of the rainbow, but over the years has been a symbol that I'm following the right path, so don't be fooled by outer appearances.   

When we are faithful to divine guidance, the light of understanding will break through the mists. 

Have a joyful day with the Angels and watch for signs of God's Love for you.






Joyful blessings,

The White Heron: An Angel Message

A beautiful snowy white heron was the first messenger to cross my path this morning.  Patiently she watched the rippled waters waiting for sustenance. Her pose was one of elegance as her white wispy feathers reflected the gleam of the morning sunshine, I was reminded of Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's, dressed to the nines, after a night out on the town. 

When a heron appears it signals a time to assert yourself when opportunities arise. White represents spirituality, higher truth.  So take action, as you will have unseen support in the spiritual realm.   

The Angel of Spontaneity had pushed me out of my morning routine, and a happy walk around the lake fed my soul as I enjoyed feeding the birds.   

Three darling ducklings swam toward me gladly seizing the opportunity for a meal. Ducks bring a message to stay in an environment that brings comfort; your problems will be easily handled.  (They were fed right on time.)

Enjoy your day with the Angels, and follow the subtle nudges that break you out of a routine and into the realm of exciting possibilities.

Peacocks: A Time to Rest

When I saw my wild peacock friends today, they hurriedly flew to a nearby tree in the courtyard at the rehab center. Something I rarely see them do. I watched them branch out on the old tree to rest under its sheltering leafy canopy.   The morning rain and lingering gray clouds might have played a part in their choice of activity.  

Watching them I was reminded that we too need to take time to rest and review life from a higher view.   Peacock is a splendid "watchful" bird, their tail feathers often are more than a yard long.  Nothing is more magnificent than to see their colorful rich plumage unfold in the sunlight. 

But today I could see that everything has its season...there's a time to strut about in full self-expression, and also a time to fold it all up, and just rest in the silence.

So the angel message I got for today from the peacocks: If you find yourself out on a limb, just wait for divine timing to guide you. Everything happens in its due season.   Meanwhile rest in God's Love and feel the presence of your angels enfolding you.

Enjoy your day with the Angels.

Love and joyful blessings,

Traveling with Angels

When traveling the road, you can  drive under the influence of Angels.  Give it a try and you'll be pleasantly surprised, just invite them along on your journey. 

Last weekend Elliot and I attended a spiritual conference in St. Petersburg, FL. 

On the trip, I like to acknowledge the Guardian of each city we pass through, as well as welcome the guardian angels who live in the city.  When you think  how most of the population forgets to welcome their angels, this can be a powerful transformation for that city.  You can also do this everyday in the city where you live.  It works wonders...

Our first trip to the west coast of Florida, Interstate 4, cuts across the entire state.  Often it is congested. But rather than worry, I invited the angels of the highway to guide everyone safely.   

A funny thing happened.  A freight train barreled down the overhead tracks at that exact moment we passed under the railroad bridge. To my surprise a childhood reaction kicked in, my hands reached straight up for the car ceiling as I lifted my feet off the floor, and made a wish.  Just like I did in my youth whenever a train passed by. 

Then later down the road, the only Rest Stop appeared just in the moment of need.  I caught sight of another familiar traveler taking a break.  The sandhill crane.  He brings a message that spiritual justice is at work. Karma will be playing out somewhere in your life....so review past issues.  

So wherever you're going today, it's wonderful to ask the angels to come along.  You'll be so glad you did.

Love and joyful blessings,

Wild Turkeys: An Angel Message

This roaming pair of wild turkeys crossed our path last evening.  We'd gone up the street to get a carry-out dinner and ended up taking a detour on the way home in hopes of seeing these magnificent birds.  Following the Angel message to drive by the wooded area paid off. There they were!

Turkey in the Native American custom represents the great give-away.  It can also symbolize a need for us to give ourselves away to life, not to hold back, but live it to the fullest, giving way to full expression of our emotions in order to become more authentic. 


Turkey also brings a message that blessings and abundance are present now. Your efforts will soon be rewarded.  (If you're reading this now, the gifts apply to you.)

What messages have you been receiving from nature lately?  The closer we pay attention, the more demonstrative the communication. Our inner world is reflected by the outer.

Enjoy your day with the Angels.

Love and joyful blessings,

In the Flow: An Angel Message

Sometimes being in the flow we are fooled by appearances.  Yesterday's shopping trip for a new patio umbrella was fruitless.  On our way home, an angel message whispered, Go to the lake.  So we did. I had my camera, but not much was happening as I panned the sunlit ripples. 

This lone duck in a red mask was the only sign of animal life.  Cooling off in the shade by a picnic table, Elliot and I went to join him. Our timing was perfect as we caught sight of a new family swimming out from the nearby lily pads. 

Out of the quietude, these adorable little ducklings came bobbing along in the flow with Mama, heading "downstream".   Their joyful little spirits stirred the lake waters and my heart with the excitement of new life.   I watched the  happy procession carried by the current until they were out of sight.   

Duck brings a message: "Seek out emotional comfort and protection.  Stay in a comfortable environment.  Difficulties will be easily handled."    (Ted Andrews, Animal-Speak Pocket Guide)
     

Enjoy your day with the angels and listen for their loving guidance.  Spring is a joyous time of renewal.




Love and joyful blessings,
