A little kindness goes a long way and can make a bad day bearable. Even if you can ‘t do anything else you can always be kind. You can listen, be compassionate, express empathy or offer assistance even if it seems small. The point is to reach out and touch the spirit of another. Like ripples in a pond kindness grows and reaches out.
The Power Is Yours: Cat’s Angel Message for April 24, 2021
April Theme: We are being challenged to change ourselves. You have the power to make things happen and the Universe is on your side.
____________________________
As you look into the future remember that it’s within your control to shape your destination. ~Cat
_____________________________
423: Our spirit helpers are part of our support system and they helps us navigate through life’s up’s and down’s. The key to their assistance is simple….just ask. If we don’t ask they are unable to step in without our permission to do so. Once we have asked for their assistance we must also do our part to make things happen and keep the energy flowing. Take opportunities when they present themselves and stay strong in your faith in the universe and in yourself. Remember that the key lies within you. Make time for a self check and ask yourself:
*Am I where I want to be on my path? *What can I let go of to make my journey easier? *Am I balanced or am I giving away too much of myself? *What self care have I indulged in today? What can I do for myself?
By doing your best to turn life’s challenges into opportunities and embracing life with gratitude you will find that doors open, good things gravitate your way and miracles happen!
Today’s Spirit Helpers include:
Archangel Gabriel helps us to access our inner wisdom and shows us how it can guide and inspire us. Gabriel also teaches us the importance of communication on all levels. This helps us to overcome our fears so that we can complete the things we start and achieve positive results during times of transformation and change.
The Ascended Master Solomon helps us to take what we are given and make the most of it. He teaches us how to do things more efficiently as he guides us through difficult situations. Focus and efficiency help us in our quest for personal evolution and help create the necessary stepping stones we need to move ahead.
The Hindu Goddess Devi helps us to find meaning in our lives and gently guides us in learning to follow our own inner wisdom. She says “Take my hand and let me guide you on your journey of self-discovery. You need only look within to find your true meaning. Release your cares to me and I will purify your heart and spirit. “
Today’s Sacred Stones include:
Agate is the perfect one for grounding and balancing our energies. It also helps by raising our consciousness to access our higher self and promoting the awareness and acceptance of who we are and where we want to go in life. It nurtures our spiritual growth and inner strength by helping us to make the most of our life experiences.
Nebula Stone. This energetically unique stone resembles the night sky. It allows you to see the value of the things around you and helps you to appreciate what you have while promoting gratitude toward yourself and others.
Okenite helps clear away obstacles and teaches us the important lesson that the universe is filled with unlimited possibilities when we allow ourselves to face and adapt to change. It helps us to find our inner strength so that we can finish what we start
Blessings for a magickal day! Cat

Patheos-Pagan: A Magic Formula for Designing Your Own Spells
Spells. That’s a word I don’t use very often. I would usually say “ritual” or “focusing will” rather than spell, but we all know what it means and that makes it an incredibly useful word.
“I am a child of God. I came from the womb of creation.” — Tao Te Ching
Our grand business in life is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand.” — Thomas Carlyle
We each play a role in the bigger game of life. In this bigger picture, life plays with energy and matter to expand, create, express and evolve. It explores new possibilities, realizes them and then reaches for even more. Life continually transforms what is into something brand new.
We choose how actively we take part in this cosmic dance. We can become mere spectators to life if we get stuck in old ideas that have lost their energy for us.
How much passion do you feel for your goals? Are you still being creative in how you work with them?
“Embrace fully your capacity to create, to think in unlimited ways, and to pursue everything that you have been wanting. Be flexible, open and willing to let the new come to you. “This can be the most joyous, prosperous, and creative time of your life.” — Sanaya Roman and Duane Packer

Letters “Letter-writing on the part of a busy man or woman is the quintessence of generosity.”
-Agnes Repplier, 1926
Old-fashioned letter writing is almost a lost art. But think of the beauty of actually putting pen to paper and composing thoughts! How personal, how rare. This is entirely different that jotting off a quick e-mail, and cc’ing everyone on your list. This is different from buying a card printed with “Hallmark” sentiments. We’re all busy, but when we take the time to write a letter, it is a wonderful gift that we are giving.

Inner Journey: FORGIVE THE HURTS
“Forgiveness will never fail to free you.” — Jerrold Mundis
How do we forgive when we’re angry and hurt?
As a first step, we can be willing to truly feel our anger and hurt. Honouring our feelings by being fully present with them helps to release the feelings themselves.
And it helps to remember that people only hurt others when they themselves are in pain. When we can recognize the other person’s suffering, our heart can open in compassion. We can also remember that at some time or another, we too have hurt someone through our own unskilful action.
Only love can heal the rifts caused by a hurtful deed. Forgiveness holds immense power because it mends separation. It moves us towards the unity and love that lie at the core of our being. It is a fundamental part of the healing process.
“Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future.” — Paul Boese
“God has a big eraser.” — Billy Zeoli

Letters “There’s no finer caress than a love letter, because it makes the world very small, and the writer and reader, the only rulers.”
-Cecelia Capuzzi, 1987
A love letter is the ultimate in romance. It’s something to be cherished, and read over and over again. When we really make the effort to put into words how we feel about someone, that brings us clarity, and it brings meaning to the relationship. Letters of love can be written to our children, or our parents, or to anyone we love and appreciate.

Why Consecrate? In many modern Pagan traditions, magical tools are consecrated before use. This achieves a couple of things — one, it purifies the item before it is used to interact with the Divine.

Letters “Why is it that you can sometimes feel the reality of people more keenly through a letter than face to face?”
-Anne Morrow Lindbergh, 1971
Sometimes we allow ourselves to open up more when we write out our feelings. We have time to think more, to choose our words carefully, to really express what it is we want to say. And when we read someone’s letter, we have the time to absorb the words, to give it thought and consideration.

Inner Journey: THE EYES OF THE SOUL
Today, we want to share a passage from Martia Nelson’s book, ‘Coming Home’: “My greatest teacher was the experience of living in split realities: personality and true self. Personality is our daily companion, our conscious self that sees the world through the eyes of limitation and dutifully keeps us informed about what we can and cannot do. True self, on the other hand, patiently stands by, offering the unwavering knowledge that a state of vibrant well- being and unlimited possibility is our true nature, a birthright that can be lived if we choose to do so. … True self simply refers to the aspect of our being that is completely aware of its expanded nature no matter what we may be experiencing at the time.”
Whenever we feel constrained, fearful, unworthy, inadequate or anything we deem to be negative, we have identified with our personality. We can always choose to view the same situation from the perspective of our soul.
“As a Witness, you begin to discover that you are not that which you have been observing; you are not those things that you have been noticing about your body. Instead, you are the noticer.” — Wayne Dyer

Just like starting your day with a positive thought can help set the tone for the day ahead, ending your day the same way can help put the days events into perspective and help provide us with some inner peace. Look for the ONE GOOD THING (there is always at least one) and focus on that. Hold it close and extend it into tomorrow to create a positive platform to create from.
