Are you a 'flapper'? or do you do 'the Superman'?

                                                               For myself? It really depends on the type of dream I am currently in, what is going on in my physical world right now (am I being
 challenged to overcome some obstacles or is everything running along tickety-boo), etcetcetc.
I find that in the dreams where I am flap-flap-flapping those arms, EFFORTING to get some lift off!!! (usually there is some sort of
imminent danger and generally it is BEHIND me and sometimes I can't quite SEE what it is exactly because of the DARN FOG!!) however, other dreams I simply 'think forward' and before you know it I am sailing along quite nicely miles in the air on a blue sky enjoying my own abilities with ease and comfort!

All of your dream symbols mean something and as you begin to NOTICE the recurring themes, recurring types of 'efforting' or 'ease' you find yourself undergoing while in dream state, recurring colours, landscapes you identify with etc ----- you are ACTUALLY building a communication style with your Angel Team. As YOU notice the different imagery your Angels are sending you specifically - maybe making note of these images each morning (no matter how random they seem) you are ACKNOWLEDGING your Angels feeding you guidance and when you acknowledge them....THEY send you more. More images, more guidance, more assistance - ALL GOOD. :)

It helps to do a little digging on common dream themes - today we are focusing on 'flying' and a quick breakdown of this common dream theme is as follows;

Flying - Take special note of 'flapping arms' vs. 'superman style', speed, height, degree of difficulty. This particular dream refers to personal power and freedom. Are you able to fly easily and whenever/wherever you like? are you able to avoid awkward or upsetting incidents by flying, the level to which you are able to 'rise above' situations, can refer to the way in which you are easily 'flying' through a particular situation. Conversely , losing altitude or having difficulty getting off the ground can speak to a confidence issue with a  certain relationship or situation.

When you wake from a 'flying' dream, take a moment and try to remember 'where were you? with who? what was the weather like? how did you FEEL? what was your 'landing' like? '  etc  This game of 20 questions takes some time to get used to and at first your answers might not be any closer to leading you to some specific guidance that you are able to use in your physical world but as with anything....this gets better with practise...keep going!

...keep dreaming!....

and keep shining!!! :)  

Listen to your Earth Angels! "Don't Quit"

A long time ago in a quiet little town there was a girl....a girl who was about to embark, the very next day on her first trip overseas. She was going over to work and to see a part of the world that was new and different and had no idea what to expect but was excited and overwhelmed and bubbling with anticipation all at the same time.  She was spending the afternoon going to see friends and family around the town to give them hugs till she returned and also to receive their well wishes. The very last stop on her afternoon visits was at her favourite aunt's house where she always received a warm welcome and today was no different.  There were teacups and biscuits as well as the little muffins the girl had come to know so well and conversation as usual, flowed freely.  When the teapot was empty and conversation had dwindled the girl stood to get her coat on and as she turned to give her aunt a warm hug, her aunt held out an envelope to her.  There was some money in there as the aunt was always practical and knew that young girls had probably not the foresight to put aside an emergency fund but what stood out the most to her was what else was in the envelope.  There was  a single bookmark.....and on the bookmark read "Don't Quit".  Nothing else. The girl, not wanting to seem rude however looked at her aunt quizzically and in response, her aunt shrugged and gave the girl a hug and a peck on the cheek and sent her on her way.

I still have the bookmark. I still treasure the message.

Specifically in this world of flowery affirmations - haha! which I use, write, say and pass on shamelessly and often! -

Don't quit.  Simple and effective, not 'flowery', not particularly 'positive'....

but fantastically,

effective.

Thank you my lovely wee aunt. I love you.

Thank you for continuing to shine on me.

:)

Is that OPPORTUNITY knocking??

Thank you Milton Berle. For this jewel of wisdom and so many others.
QUITE right!
Here's the thing. Opportunity knocks ALL THE TIME. Sometimes we hear it, many times we do not. Sometimes we are so focused on ASKING for an opportunity in a certain area in our lives that while all we hear are 'crickets chirping' when we are straining SO HARD to hear a knock at the door...our frustration level is rising and rising and we FAIL to HEAR the other door(s) being POUNDED ON!!! for our attention.
too bad, yes?
Sometimes, we REALIZE that there is another door open a crack behind us that we can EASILY walk through and achieve 'some' headway on our Life Path .... but while we reach our left foot behind us to keep our big toe in the open door (we don't want it to close ... but we are not REALLY interested in taking that opportunity either because we are too focused on the opportunity that is NOT available to us right now) and so there we are.....straining our ears against a rock solid closed door, eyes and ears squinting with the effort, hands pressed flat against the wood in case somehow you were to MISS the knock, maybe perhaps you can better FEEL for the 'knock of opportunity'.... your body and left big toe stretched clear across the hallway to the other door - holding THAT opportunity open yet at bay.....
is this good?
are you COMFORTABLE doing this?
So, here we go....
You want an opportunity right?
You don't see one being conjured before you regardless of the 'efforting' you are doing in that direction??
and also
You see another opportunity available
-albeit one behind you and not really one you are interested in-.....

Good enough. 
Build a new door.
Turn in a new direction with a NEW PERSPECTIVE - A SHIFT in mentalities.
CLEAR YOUR HEAD.
and then start building.
Pretend it's 'opposite day'  (remember from Kindergarten!!??) and do almost everything the other way round....overturn rocks, look around corners, go places you have never been before, step out of that comfort zone, TALK to people, share ideas and FIND OUT WHERE YOU ARE GOING TO SET DOWN YOUR TOOLBOX AND BUILD YOUR DOOR.

and as my friend likes to say, 'Not for nothing.'  This message is being brought to you and to me this morning courtesy of our friendly neighbourhood Angels :)  (my brother is a Spiderman freak....this is probably a message to me I should give him a call today!! haha!!) 
HOWEVER, this message is brought for a reason....

sometimes it's time for a NEW day, NEW perspective and a NEW door.
Your Angels will help you build it :)
Shining on your door today :)

Do you remember this look?

This look of reverence, of awe, of TRUST. Do you remember the questions that surrounded 'this look'?  "Is everything ok?"

"Are you for REAL?"

"Do I believe this?"

This is the way we looked as children - looking up at adults and at new situations, finding our way, testing the waters, finding boundaries, trusting in the guidance around us....

as adults....this is 'the look' we have as we are just starting out on our journey in BELIEVING.....in our own intuition, in our guides, in our Angels, in the Divine, in Source, and sometimes even in our SELF.

Do we trust this? Do we REALLY hear/see/feel this message? or is this JUST our imagination? should I take the chance? should I TRUST THIS GUIDANCE?

yes.

believe it.

trust it.

and

GO FOR IT.

Confidence in your own ability to hear and accept and follow your own inner guidance as directed by your Angel Team allows you to step confidently along your Life Path.

and yes, Everything is MORE THAN 'ok'!! 

Keep shining!!



The Candle

The Candle

The neatest thing I ever saw

was a candle, stood proud though stout

surrounded by many a scientist

who were to try and put it out

The scientist hummed and hawed

(perceiving an easy task)

then proceeded with many experiments

to make this flame its last!

They tried to take its pride

by showing it all the dark

and said"How can one little candle

even make a mark?"

They tried to make it angry

by stepping on it's light

and said "how can one little candle

dare put up a fight?"

They tried to make it sad

by saying it could be snuffed

"Though flame is on your side," they said

"You're not strong enough!"

They tried to make it bitter

by saying it could be pitched

for a lightbulb and electricity

and simple flick of the switch

They tried to make it give right up

by saying it was no good

and that absolutely anything

would look better standing where it stood

Through all of this, the candle continued to shine.

Well, the scientists stood puzzled

by the fact the flame went higher

but who were they to think

they could put out the source of My Fire?

As the scientists began to leave,

and gave their shoulders a shrug,

I walked over to the solitary candle

and gave my sister a hug.

Quiet ..... and/or the sounds that surround you and resonate with you and fill you with a sense of peace, a restoring SOURCE OF YOU.....is sooooooooooooooooooo NECESSARY.....

Find your quiet. KNOW what it looks like. and GO THERE.  Regularly and restoratively.

Many Blessings to you....from MY Quiet to YOURS.   Keep shining.   :)
