Today’s Message: Make Friends With Patience

117: We start the day with a big hug from our angels. They are simply letting us know that we are on the right path and that the work we are doing is paying off. Don’t be discouraged if the results aren’t visible just yet and they are reminding us to have patience. The key is to remember that you are in charge of creating YOUR reality and to look for the “hidden gem” in any given situation. Even if things don’t go quite as planned look for that one (or more) positive thing that happened and use that a stepping stone to ensure your forward momentum. Ground, center, and clear as needed because your peace of mind assists your energy level and keeps the positive vibes free-flowing!

Today’s Spirit Helpers include:

Archangel Jeremiel is in charge of life reviews and changes. He can help you see everything that you have accomplished recently as well as the areas that need attention and helps us to let go of what we no longer need. He teaches us that by taking inventory of our lives we gain clear perspective of where we are on our path, which in turn helps us to make positive life changes. He removes our fear of change and what the future holds and replaces them with a sense of expectant excitement.

  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 Roman Goddess Vesta oversees hearth and home. She helps us to clear space (both in our physical home and our inner home) to make room for new things and teaches us the value of letting go of what we no longer need. ” If something does not make your heart sing put it where it belongs or set it free. This will clear your inner and outer sacred space. Then open the doors and invite the new blessings inside.”

Today’s Sacred Stones include:

Aventurine teaches us how to give and receive gracefully. Both are necessary for healthy relationships with self and others and it allows the Universe to care for you. Aventurine also helps to dispel the anger and irritation that sometimes arise when we are stuck in the “what I lack” mind loop.

Blue-Green Chrysocolla helps make smooth transitions and helps us to accept change with serenity by inviting  the energy of universal love into our personal experiences. It brings our inner strength and self-awareness forward which keeps our energy balanced and our creative side active which allows us to handle change more effectively.

Dioptase helps us to create a more balanced life while we work toward achieving our personal goals. It also teaches us to see things in joy and the best in every action.

Blessings for a magickal day! Cat

Today’s Message: Creative Solutions

116: Your power of positive thinking can help you create a revolving flow of what you need. However, the Universe is letting us know that our focus should be on more important things. The key is in learning to appreciate what you have and embracing the attitude of gratitude. It is through the acknowledgment of our blessings that new paths open up and new opportunities present themselves. This is part of the change process that we have been working with. Think big, dream big as some of the changes we are or will be experiencing will involve the material realm. Stay focused on the best possible outcome and if negativity comes knocking turn it over to the Universe to be dealt with accordingly. Remember that you are the creator of your own personal transformation and your destiny as well so find creative solutions and paths to take you to the next level.

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 Vywamus encourages us to continuously and consciously seek inspiration through the discovery and rediscovery of our own natural abilities and talents. He teaches us that healing can be found in change. If something is holding you back he can teach you how to let it go or let it be so you can continue moving forward.

The Hindu Goddess Lakshmi teaches us that good things happen when we embrace the world with a grateful and appreciative heart. She tells us ” You are worthy of so many wonderful things but first you must get out of your own way! Let me help you to clear the way so that these gifts can be given to you. Make room and feel the lightness it creates within your spirit.”

Today’s Sacred Stones include:

Aquamarine balance’s emotions that can become frayed during the change that new cycles create. It helps us to move forward and navigate the ebb and flow of life.

Beryl teaches us how to fulfill our true potential. It helps us to see both sides of a situation, opportunity or problem and promotes strategic planning so that we can use it to our best advantage.

Golden Ray Calcite to boost your creative thinking and to eliminate patterns of self-defeating thinking. This helps to promote new and innovative ways to solve problems and move things forward.

Today’s Message: Powerful Motivation

115: Initiating change in our lives is an ongoing endeavor and so it’s important to support our goals and thought seeds with positive intentions. Today’s number, 5 , relates to changes and transformations making this an excellent day to initiate something new or tend what we’re currently working on. Take time each day to affirm what you want and where you want to be. “I Am ” and “I Can” are powerful motivators that will help to boost your energy levels so choose words wisely. Remember that change should not be feared but seen as a new adventure. One that will enrich your life in ways that will benefit your growth (personal, spiritual, emotional). Today the Universe is reminding us not to force these changes, simply get them started then allow them to grow and unfold naturally as it makes for a much smoother transition

Today’s Spirit Helpers include:

Archangel Chamuel helps us in creating and maintaining strong and loving relationships. While this includes the one we have with ourselves and our own spiritual nature, it helps our relationships with others as well. Ask him to help you create an atmosphere of peace, love, and togetherness. His goal is to help us to build a strong foundation from which we can create our personal evolution.

The Ascended Master Saint Germain helps us to persevere in our personal quests and provides us with courage and direction. He teaches us how to clear the way and free our minds from worry so that we can work on more important things and shows us the way to comfortably interact with people and situations that can help us achieve our goals.

The Greek goddess Hecate teaches us about the importance of change. She helps us to release the past and the old things that keep us from moving on and how to accept change and transition. She tells us:  ” I am the guardian of the crossroads.  Remember that to move ahead you must face your fears and release the past. Change and circumstance are inviting you to choose a path. It is your choice so make the one that is best for you.”

Today’s Sacred Stones include:

Chrysanthemum Stone can help to remove obstacles from our path. Since obstacles tend to pop up during periods of change, this stone promotes the harmony and the balance we need to help our forward progress

Iolite, also known as “Poor Man’s Amethyst” it is a stone of vision that assists our intuition and aids us in setting things in motion by staying true to yourself and your path while freeing you from the expectations of others. It helps us to live in the moment making it easier to snag the blessings given to us. It is also a soothing stone that calms emotions during times of change.

 Larimar helps to remove self-imposed barriers that may be keeping us from accepting our personal power and stops self-sabotaging behavior by bringing out the best in us. It helps us to see the things that we have to be grateful for and the tiny miracles that we take for granted. This sky blue stone also helps to ease our obsession for material things and shows us how to put things into perspective so that we manifest what we really need. It shows us how to go with the flow.

Inner Journey:

KNOW YOURSELF THROUGH JOURNALING

“The blank page gives us the right to dream.”
— Baston Bachelard

Journaling takes us on adventures of self-discovery that explore two different directions:

  • DEEPER into the realms of the subconscious where we can clean house of personal problems, pains, patterns, and reactions; and,
  • HIGHER into the realms of our potential, where we can connect with intuition and higher guidance and uncover our essence and purpose.

“Life is a narrative that you have a hand in writing.”
— Henriette Anne Klauser

“I want you to get excited about who you are, what you are, what you have, and what can still be for you. I want to inspire you to see that you can go far beyond where you are right now.”

This is one of those days when everything is up in the air and you doubt that you could do much even if you tried. Nonetheless, things can go well when some unexpected good luck comes your way. Your carefree attitude can attract some unexpected help to keep you going and to make things interesting if not fun. Uncertainty can be inspiring in its own way.

Today’s Message: Hidden Gems

114: We are all creators in our own right and have many gifts that we can share. Through our own self-awareness, we are able to see the good in ourselves and in others as well. This also increases our ability to see the world around us in a different light and by trying to see the good we find that good things are drawn to us, doors open and new opportunities appear out of the blue. Today the Universe is asking us to view the world through a different lens and see things in a new light. Acknowledge your divine spark as well as the divine spark in others. Acknowledge the beauty and goodness around you and uncover hidden gems, then send love out and be open to receiving the blessings that come back!

Today’s Spirit Helpers include:

Archangel Jophiel the angel of Illumination and wisdom, fills us with beautiful, loving thoughts and uplifting energy which helps us to create a fresh approach to life. Jophiel tells us that goodness and beauty surround us all the time. By keeping ourselves open to receiving these blessings it draws the things we need directly to us. This is a reminder that slowing down activates our creative mind and makes these things easier to visualize and grasp and by taking the time to “smell the roses” the attitude of gratitude flows more easily.

The Ascended Master Mother Mary provides us with all forms of healing. She surrounds us with her gentle energy and helps to fill our hearts with love as she imparts feelings of peace and safety as she gently heals the dark, hidden places within while showing us the path that leads to compassion and forgiveness which are essential to healing ourselves and helping others.She helps to fill our hearts with peace and love and helps everyone regardless of path or religion

 The Greek Goddess Iris teaches us that miracles of beauty can happen in an instant. She says “Open your eyes, both physical and spiritual, then open you heart and allow the divine light to fill you. This will help you see the blessings and the beauty that are right before your eyes. Take nothing for granted.”

Today’s Sacred Stones include:

Crazy Lace Agate gently boosts our self confidence and concentration while reestablishing our overall feelings of wholeness and well-being. It’s an excellent grounding stone that helps to bring balance between our negative and positive emotions.

Inspirational Apatite helps us to be of service by encouraging us to be more open and at ease in social situations as it promotes a humanitarian attitude.

Green Quartz. This stone helps attract abundance in all forms and increases our powers of perception so that we can see the “Tiny Miracles” more clearly

Inner Journey: EMBRACE YOUR LIFE

“If there is a sin against life, it consists perhaps not so much in despairing of life, as in hoping for another life, and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this life.”
— Albert Camus

Have you taken ownership of your life?

When we own our lives, we accept what we’ve inherited and the experiences we hold in our memories. We also lay claim to our right to create new conditions if we’re not happy with what’s come before. We assume responsibility for changing what does not suit us. We acknowledge our own special talents and skills, and truly comprehend our right to enjoy the journey. In short, we embrace the meaning and purpose, the mystery and the beauty of our lives.

“Recognize that life is what you get when you’re born … living is what you do with it.”
— Jim Allen

“It began in mystery, and it will end in mystery, but what a savage and beautiful country lies in between.”
— Diane Ackerman

Security
“Only in growth, reform, and change, paradoxically enough, is true security to be found.”

-Anne Morrow Lindbergh


Security could be said to be peace of mind. It’s that feeling of being safe. When we know that no matter what happens on the outside, big or small, minor or major, we’re always fine, we’re always whole, then we have peace of mind – we have security.

-Lissa Coffey coffeytalk.com

Today, you are the equal of anyone. Be gracious.

Sometimes You Just Walk Away: Cat’s Angel Message for November 3, 2021

Sometimes You Just Walk Away:Cat’s Angel Message for November 3, 2021

 November’s Theme: Our goal this month lies in watching and directing our thoughts. Positive opens and draws, Negative closes and blocks. Stay focused on what you want and not what you fear. Pay attention to repetitive thoughts and ideas as they will keep you moving forward on your path.

____________________________

Setting boundaries is the first step to actualizing your dreams and goals. ~Cat

_____________________________

Today’s Message: Sometimes You Just Walk Away

113: After yesterday’s peek into the future the Universe is reminding us that we have the power to make those visions a reality. You have the ability to do whatever makes your spirit sing and makes you feel whole. Embrace new challenges and opportunities without worrying about success, remember that enjoyment is part of the adventure. Your spirit helpers are here to assist you and to make sure things fall into place. It doesn’t matter whether others understand you or not so do your best to stay above the energies of those who want to rain on your parade. Walking away from the nay-sayers is in your overall best interest today and will help nurture the thought seeds of yesterday

Today’s Spirit Helpers include:

Archangel Raguel helps us to find our power and brings clarity when we feel conflicted about what to do next by providing a boost of energy and by bringing order to your thoughts.  He also aids in the letting go process which is essential to moving forward. Raguel reminds us that sometimes people can get “freaky” when they see you moving off in a new direction and helps to smooth the way by resolving conflicts and disharmony with those around us as we work with our creative magic.

The Ascended Master Kuthumi helps us to navigate the distractions of everyday life. He encourages us to focus on what’s important right now and to stop fighting the things that we have no control over, which blocks our problem solving and creative flow.  Things flow easier when we are not struggling against the “what if’s and maybes.

The Hindu Mother Goddess Durga teaches us how to create boundaries and maintain them as well as protecting yourself from the negative or controlling energy of others. She says:  ” Personal boundaries are important to your well-being. It is sometimes best to walk away. I can help you to step back and give you the self-assurance to do what is in your best interest.”

Today’s Sacred Stones include:

Pink Banded Agate. This stone is a member of the Botswana Agate family. It teaches us how to look at our lives and see the big picture, as it helps us to use our creative problem-solving skills through focus and attention to detail. Pink Banded Agate also helps us to feel good about ourselves and is said to help ease stress and anxiety.

Cerussite helps to keep us grounded, as it stimulates new growth. It teaches us to be flexible and how to adapt to the changes we have made.

Blue Quartz helps us to understand our spiritual nature and gives us a spiritual boost as it brings hope as it calms the mind and helps us to become more self-reliant. Together these things promote happiness and feelings of well-being. It also cleanses the energy of our outer environment as it supports peaceful interactions with those around us.  Blue Quartz also promotes clarity and eases any fear we may experience as we continue to explore. It works with both the Throat and Third Eye Chakras and helps us to speak our truth and promotes being heard and positive communication.

Blessings for a magickal day! Cat

Inner Journey:

CONNECT WITH THE LIFE FORCE

“The spirit down here in man and the spirit up there in the sun, in reality are only one spirit, and there is no other one.”
— The Upanishads

We regard our lives as made up of an infinite number of separate bits and pieces. That is how our senses perceive our universe.

But science has now affirmed what the sages always knew. The life force is the foundation of all, unseen and untouched though it may be. It flows through everyone and everything. It is impossible to exist separate and apart from the source of all creation.

“Everything you see has its roots in the unseen world. The forms may change, yet the essence remains the same. Every wonderful sight will vanish; every sweet word will fade, But do not be disheartened, The source they come from is eternal, growing, Branching out, giving new life and new joy. Why do you weep? The source is within you And this whole world is springing up from it.”
— Jelaluddin Rumi

Security
“Security can only be achieved through constant change, through discarding old ideas that have outlived their usefulness and adapting others to current facts.”

-William O. Douglas

There’s an old saying that nothing is permanent but change. When we are flexible and open to change, we can learn and grow through all types of changes. Change offers us newfound freedom, and when we realize that, we are secure in knowing that change is good, and good for us.

-Lissa Coffey coffeytalk.com

Perspective and Manifestation: Cat’s Angel Message for November 2, 2021

Perspective and Manifestation:Cat’s Angel Message for November 2, 2021

 November’s Theme: Our goal this month lies in watching and directing our thoughts. Positive opens and draws, Negative closes and blocks. Stay focused on what you want and not what you fear. Pay attention to repetitive thoughts and ideas as they will keep you moving forward on your path.

Today’s Message: Perspective and Manifestation

112: Today the Universe is opening a window so that we may look ahead into our own future. Like change, the future can be a scary thing. However, once again we are reminded that truth lies in our perspective and how we choose to look at things. As you peek into the future ask yourself “Is where I am right now where I want to be in the future?”/ ” Am I allowing myself to move forward or am I letting fear and indecision dictate my thoughts and actions?” Remember to be honest with yourself. As we enter the new month take some time to plant a few positive thought seeds, this will pave the way for the future that we desire both for ourselves and our loved ones. Remember to stay focused on your goals and aspirations as you craft the future that you deserve. Your powers of manifestation are strong right now so use them to set things in motion!

Today’s Spirit Helpers include:

 Archangel Jeremiel is in charge of life reviews and changes. He can help you see everything that you have accomplished recently as well as the areas that need attention and helps us to let go of what we no longer need. He teaches us that by taking inventory of our lives we gain a clear perspective of where we are on our path, which in turn helps us to make positive life changes. He removes our fear of change and what the future holds and replaces them with a sense of expectant excitement.

 The Ascended Master Sanat Kumara teaches us that we have an unlimited supply of personal power and helps us find the energy we need to keep going and rise above negative experiences and thought patterns. This gives us the skills we need to  strengthen our personal boundaries so that we can be and stay strong in situations where we need to be.

 The Greek Goddess Artemis helps us to hone our intuitive skills so that we get the information we need without the unnecessary backwash.
 She teaches us how to trust in ourselves and honor our own wisdom. By following our inner guidance system we are setting ourselves on the path of authenticity and personal truth. Allow yourself to be a “huntress” like Artemis and track down your inner power. She tells us,  “All the skills and knowledge you need for success lives within you. Your inner wisdom is a powerful thing and you know in your heart when something is good and right.”

Today’s Sacred Stones include:

Agate. This humble stone 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.

Citrine. This happy and sunny crystal draws abundance and brings our self confidence forward. It promotes the optimistic mindset necessary to activate the manifestation process and nudges us into action.  We can also use Citrine to help us sift through information and analyze situations so that we can move forward with positive intent. Citrine also helps us go with the flow and encourages us to explore all options so that we can make the best decisions for our journey.

While Garnet is best known as a stone of protection it can benefit the use of our natural talents as well. It helps us to overcome any resistance we may have in using our gifts and promotes self-confidence. Garnet removes what no longer serves and mental self-sabotage which opens the doors to new growth and personal evolution. It promotes balance and clears and re-energizes the chakras.

November Quotes

“November comes
And November goes,
With the last red berries
And the first white snows.

With night coming early,
And dawn coming late,
And ice in the bucket
And frost by the gate.

The fires burn
And the kettles sing,
And earth sinks to rest
Until next spring.”

Inner Journey: LAUGH!

“We don’t laugh because we’re happy, we’re happy because we laugh.”
— William James

Why laugh?

Laughter nourishes the soul and triggers joy. It’s a natural stress reliever. It stimulates the immune system and increases oxygen, stamina and our breathing capacity. Medical literature is full of reasons to laugh for the health of it.

Don’t rely upon your funny friends, favorite sit-com or jokes to tickle your funny bone — just laugh for the joy of it!

“Laughter is like the human body wagging its tail.”
— Anne Wilson Schaef

Security
“Our greatest illusion is reliance upon the security and permanence of material possessions. We must search for some other coin.”

-John Cudahy


What is secure anyway? And why do we so desperately rely upon it? Anything we can see or touch is impermanent. “Things” come and go. A new car depreciates the minute we drive it off the lot. A gemstone is only worth what someone will pay for it, and prices change all the time. The only permanence, the only unchangeable, is spirit. We can find our security in our faith
