Make it a 'soft' day :)

This is a great day to let the harshness of reality, the tough decisions of yesterday (and today) slide, the ramifications of said tough decisions, the machine like ticker tape of to-do's SLIDE away, vapourize, disappear over the horizon of your awareness.
Being soft on your Self ensures that you are kind to your Self. The WHOLE WORLD may be buzzing around you with 'these are the headlines this hour' news.....turn it off.  Not EVERY day, we don't want to live our lives in a make believe reality however,  'soft days' are VERY necessary for balance!!!  For the most part if left unchecked we can live in a constant state of strain with a BARRAGE of information pummelling our senses from every direction!
So, live today 'soft'.

BLARING from the radio or the TV......'This is your news this hour'....turn it off

Someone is upset about the way someone said something to someone else which wasn't true but they believed it anyway and so the whole situation.....blah....you know how this continues.....turn away...

LAUNDRY piling up in the corner!Pot boiling over on the stove!Phone ringing!"you've got mail!"doorbell ringing, baby crying, dog scratching at the door........breathe  :)  and smile, hum a tune (make a date with your bubble bath tonight and a good book in your head....you WILL get there :)

No matter what is coming your way today....if it is 'kind' to you, if it is a 'soft ' situation....one that will allow you to glide through present moment and into the next......EMBRACE IT!!!

If it is a harsh situation.....say a polite "No, thank you".   Just for today.  Just for even this moment.  My Self deserves a 'soft' day..... and that day, is today :)
Shine a 'soft' Light today .... but shine it strongly enough for other people to 'feel the glow'!! :) Have a GREAT one!!

11.11.11 wow! Need I say more??

This is it! This is the day that was MADE for Angel Communication, connecting with your Angel Team! KNOW that every thought you have is being put on your Angel's list of 'to-do's SO KEEP IT POSITIVE!! but keep it REAL!
Be careful not to schmooze up your thoughts and feelings and ASKING FOR 'stuff' that you would like help manifesting going forward  - don't 'muddy up' your requests and your communication with your Angels with special voices, rituals, fancy prayers and tra-la-la thoughts!! KEEP IT REAL!

Some things you don't like? say so. Ask for help to banish those things from your day, your thoughts, your activities etc.
Some things you WOULD like very much and you would like them to become a part of your day....ASK for those things! straight out!! just say so.
write all this stuff down on paper (so it stops the incessant loop of thoughts in your head - once you write it down....you have OFFICIALLY given it over to your Angel Team and you are now free to live in PRESENT MOMENT - knowing that the 'yesterdays' have been wiped clean of any regrets leaving only the good bits within our Selves and the tomorrows that are guided by our Angel Team.....we have ONLY THIS VERY MOMENT TO PARTICIPATE IN AND DO OUR VERY BEST AT ENJOYING! 
done.  Now enJOY it!!!
HOLD THAT RAINBOW IN YOUR HANDS AND SHINE ON - It's 11.11.11 AND WE NEED TO SHINE IT UP!! :)

Our Angels prepare for 11.11.11 :)

oh yes!! Angel operators are standing by!!  haha!! It is the cusp of 11.11.11 and this is a VERY auspicious time for us all as we are offered this wonderful opportunity to connect and communicate with our Angels as we never have before!!
So what are you waiting for???
Let's get going.

What behaviours, habits, poor perspectives, RUTS, opinions and attitudes, BEHAVIOURS (worth mentioning again!! ha!) would you like to see the back of, get rid of, say ADIOS to?  write em down.

Also, what behaviours, points of view, types of situations, mannerisms, abilities to 'handle' certain situations, what types of abundance (yes there is more than one kind!)  ....would you like to DRAW NEARER, be your companion, be a comfortable fit for you on a daily basis???  write em down!

I want you to really FEEL this list. (and feel free to fold your piece of full scap in half like we used to do at school so you automatically have two columns!! this is an exercise in learning how to 'let go' and 'receive'  SCHOOL IS IN PEOPLE!!! :)

for those sports fishermen out there....think of it as 'catch and release'.  For others maybe it is "Law of Attraction" vs. "Law of Detraction"  (? wha' ?)
but I digress...
This is worth having some fun with but it is also worth some careful thinking and planning and FEELING your way through this.  How would you like to FEEL going forward.   (free (of debt, of guilt, of barriers and obstacles) joyful, unobstructed, carefree, healthy, hopeful etc) now what types of actions in your world, what types of day to day activities support those feelings within you?   (what OR WHO needs to GO?  what or who would assist in this? who and what do you need to engage with?)

Make that list and make it LONG. make it detailed. and then hold it up for your Angel Team and smile. Fold it up in a small square and keep it in a very special place in your home.....do you keep a wee pot of Angel pennies somewhere? special notes or birthday cards from past days? momentos from your childhood or family mementos? a drawer that is reserved 'just for you'?
Stow this away and KNOW that you have handed this list to your Angels on 11.11.11.   NOW, it is THEIR focus and not YOURS. 
Go about your day, interact and know that your Angels have your back more than ever before!!!!!
Now, get going and prepare for your VERY SPECIAL DAY tomorrow!! and keep shining!

LET GO of that 'BIG THING' getting in the way of the Light!!

Why do we always have to have 'a big thing' in the middle of our day? You know? The kind of 'thing' that isn't there as SOON as you wake in the morning...buuuuut arrives very shortly on the train as scheduled shortly thereafter.  This is the same thing, burden, trouble spot, anxiety, insecurity that you took to bed last night only to have it dissipate in your dreams while your Higher Self took over and rested your body and mind washing it clean.  Now that you are 'more like your old Self'....
DON'T ALLOW your lower Self access to your new, freshly washed and cleansed perspective first thing in the morning. DON'T LET in the little niggly negative self sabotaging voice!....just don't let it in.  period.
STAY FOCUSED on ALL THINGS POSITIVE in your day, in your life, in your circle of friends,in your family, in your opportunities, in FAITH that there is EVEN MORE good being brought into your life RIGHT NOW. It is on the way. yes it is . Believe and Trust. Smile even!  :)
and you know what? there are STILL going to be 'big things' to deal with (some bigger than others but our lower Self will try to MAKE SURE THAT THEY ALL!!! seem insurmountable!!!  .... keep turning away and focusing on the light of positivity, trust and Faith....its just that easy)  With this new change in perspective, even the REALLY big things are 'do-able', manageable and will be handled in due time with our support staff at our side, our friends, our family, our Angel Team, our belief....it's all going to be just fine.

AND it's going to be fine because we have popped the big black balloon of negativity (that our lower Self had taken all that time to blow up and float out into the middle of the room!!) so now,   NOW!! we can see our Light!!! Keep shining.  :)

BELIEVE!!!!

IN YOU!  yes! Believe in you. your SELF. yes, of course, believe in the other guy too - believe in the goodness of humanity, believe in your children, your marriage, your family, yesyesyesyesyes.

We believe in so much (mmmm, I believe I'll have another piece of pie!!  hah!) no, really we BELIEVE in so much!!! WHY !! ? are we SO reticent to believe in ourselves.  (and you know when I say that I am NOT TALKING LIP SERVICE HERE - WHEN WE TALK ABOUT BELIEVING IT IS BELIEVING......right down to our toes. no doubt, no hesitancy, no way. all in or all out.

We do it for other people.

We do it for other events.

We especially do it for those we love.

hmmm.

so - are we talking about BELIEVING? or are we talking about SELF LOVE? love of self=belief in self =strong sense of self esteem and confidence=strong ability to get things done confidently and knowing that not only are you capable but you are the ONLY person who can get this job done the right way because your own UNIQUE CAPABILITIES must be leant to this particular project to enable it to succeed on EVERY LEVEL!!!!

yes. that is EXACTLY what I am talking about. BELIEF IN ONE'S SELF STARTS   TOOOOO-DAAAAY!

and yeah, is the wind blowing? are there a THOUSAND other people who look like you and say they can do what you do only better (and maybe even secretly want to BE you?? haha!!)  SURE!! is the sky grey? ya! are the clouds ominous? sometimes!

but guess what? doesn't matter.

you are you. you are AMAZING. and YOU BELIEVE IN YOU. more than ANYTHING else today that is true and the WHOLE day we are going to wear that in our heart! 

Affirm, "I believe in me more than I have EVER believed in me before - and it feels good. Really good. and it feels RIGHT. I know that I have been overdue for this self belief to be extended to my Self and my Higher Self and today, I honour that. I will wear this 'self Belief' every day proudly"

BELIEVE! and SHINE!!

Archangel Uriel guides us step by step.....

Step by step. inch by inch. stone by stone. we get there.
where is there? one step further down our Path of course!  maybe we are on an entirely new Path at this point (having completed all of the stones on the last chapter of our journey we are now facing in a new direction and just moving towards the next stone of a new Path)....same river ...just a new Path.  We did not know that there would be so many stones to cover....but there are. and that's ok. The river is beautiful free flowing and clear, even when it rains and some of the mud stirs up at the sides leaving the water a little 'murkier' then usual...eventually it clears again (and we have that wonderful scent left from the rain - so cleansing and invigorating at the same time)....we can keep going.
In the day, it is fairly easy to navigate our way from stone to stone and see our way far into the future, have an idea of where we are going, see some twists in the Path, sometimes even see our destination....but then night falls and it is difficult to see even the stone we are ON let alone the NEXT step!   Not even knowing where the next step is, not being able to see where OR IF there are any twists or turns in the path ahead, not being able to know for sure if the water is rising or if it is our imagination? certainly and in NO WAY being able to see the destination.....yes, Life Path is very much like this.
MUCH more like traversing the stepping stones across the river....AT NIGHT!
And THIS is where trust and faith step in. Relying on guidance, inner guidance, inner intuition,  - all courtesy of the same source - your Guiding Angels. It's like having a lifelong connection with your Angel GPS!  Trust it. It is real. It has got you this far and it will take you on!! 
In particular, Archangel Uriel is generally the one around when you need to or are ready to take the next step.  He will light the way for you - he will hold his lantern up high just over your shoulder (as he stands behind you to steady you forward) so that you will be able to get a clear view of or just catch a glimpse of 'the next step'. He holds your arm and makes sure that you get there safely and without incident....great!  Now....where is the NEXT step?  can't see it? That's because he has put the lantern back down again - he is still there steadying you while you are on THIS step and when YOU ARE READY for the next step, the lantern goes up and off you go!  Hey!  here's the other thing!! maybe the next step is NOT READY FOR YOU!! Sometimes we feel like we ARE ready!!! and we have been ready for A LONG TIME!! but you know what? the stage has not been set for us yet on the the next step....we have to wait and to trust and believe that when the next step is ready AND WE ARE READY TO TAKE IT.....then conditions are perfect for Archangel Uriel to raise that lantern. 
If you feel a bit like you are 'stuck on a stone' - look up and enJOY the view, breathe in the beauty of the day, the freshness of the air - and KNOW that the next step is being prepared for you and RELAX!  you are in good hands!!!!
Keep shining!! :)

This is where I "FACED MY FEAR'!! :)

Yah! you know what? We all have 'fears' that have NOTHING to do with common sense or past circumstance or ..... well? I don't know but we ALL have them.  I can tell you that one of my fears was jumping into 'dark' water. You know the kind?  I CAN'T see the bottom. That is a problem for me. BIG.
Ever since I was a kid I couldn't do it.
I am a VERY strong swimmer. I have always been a very strong swimmer, love to swim, feel more at home in the water than out...but there it is.
 I will swim ALL DAY..... in the pool, swim without a care in the world..... at the beach, swim at Tobermory, Ontario Canada
** (little plug - clearest freshwater in the world and divers from all over the World fly in JUST to have the pleasure of the GRAND CANYON like depths (150 ft or MUCH deeper one minute and 6 inches the next as you swim up to one of the MANY plateaus in the MIDDLE of the lake...let alone the shipwrecks that are lovely to dive and explore..also there as a result of the many plateaus!! ....but I digress.....:)  I can do that because I am from that area!!  go ahead, google Tobermory diving and book your plane ticket, pack your snorkel!....)
can you tell I am 'skirting the issue??'  ha!
Right. so I grew up being able to swim in water where no matter where I was....I could SEE the bottom.
Regardless, this is not a prerequisite for most people....and I was SURE this was NOT going to be an issue for my kids....so I needed to get past it.  I have always been open about this fear with my kids and they told me that I needed to face it (FACE MY FEAR!) but they told me to start small. Got it.
First stop, jumping off a dock. (lots of weeds.  ew.)  And after much coaxing (and some name calling!)  I did it and somehow....much to my surprise....survived.  whaddaya know???? yeah!

ok, so this summer? the black inland lakes of the Muskokas.  Jumping off 15 feet of rock into pitch black water.....with my kids clapping and chanting (screaming!! I so apologize 'other campers') 'FACE YOUR FEAR! FACE YOUR FEAR!  I flung myself forward and trusting in EVERYTHING .....I survived.  NEVER MIND!!!! I had a BLAST!! and I kept doing it!! time and again I climbed out, jumped back in (when it was my turn mind, I NEVER even once CUT THE LINE!! haha!)

here's the thing. It hit me that I could have lived my WHOLE life not knowing how AWESOME it was to do one of the things that scared me the most.  but I didn't.
I feared doing it.
I DID IT ANYWAY.
(with a little help...ok!! with alot of help!! ha!)
Sometimes what we fear are 'big' things and sometimes they are 'little' things but regardless, we fear them and they keep us from moving forward in so many ways.  Today, make your list of things that you fear, things that make you uncomfortable, things that make you nervous, things that you could NEVER do...that is for 'other' people....haha!! and make a date with even ONE of those items .... to move past it!! FACE YOUR FEAR! 
When you step out of your 'comfort zone' is when you get back a little piece of your Self that sometimes....you didn't even know was missing.....UNTIL you get it back!! wow. awesome!!
 Discover that little piece of you that CAN DO IT!! It's in there! :)  Keep shining!!
