August Theme: Positive focus and creative solutions help to draw both prosperity and abundance this month. You are a powerful creator and all that you need is within your grasp!
Surround yourself with faith and all else falls into place.
~Cat
824: Yesterday we talked about using our natural talents to help us create the life we want. However, to make things happen we must also have faith in ourselves and in the Universe. Our angels are reminding us that faith relies upon courage and when it wavers so can our faith. Since our thoughts and actions create our reality it’s fair to say that our courage and conviction stem from them as well. Rely on your inner guidance and your ability to think outside the box. Remember that life isn’t a “one size fits all” and that the blessings and opportunities that you receive are tailored for you. Gather your gifts around you like an armored cloak and move through your day with confidence and create the life you deserve!

How are you today? Are you happy or are you grumpy? When we start the day grumpy or angry it can impact the WHOLE day. Everything annoys us and our bad attitude breeds all things negative. It’s sad but true. If your day is off to a lousy start take a moment to reset, breathe, and center. Look for that “One Good Thing”. Trust me there is always at least one. Use it to create that first step to a better day. If you can find something humorous in it then that’s even better. The power of laughter is healing and it clears our minds so that we can find more good things to make our day better!

Inner Journey: REFLECTIONS ON EFFORT
The anxious student asked the Zen master how long to enlightenment. The Zen Master answered a long time, at least 10 years. The student said, “Well I will work twice as hard.” The Zen master said, “Then it will take 20 years.” “No!” said the committed student, “I will work three times as hard.” “Well then,” said the Zen master, “it will take 30 years.”
Do you need to work at being spiritual? No. You already are spiritual. Do you need to work at being human? No. That’s just who you are.
The spiritual path doesn’t require us to get anything. It’s a process of opening to new dimensions of who we already are. It’s a process of awakening to our own truth. It’s a process of allowing ourselves to be authentic.

Creating Good Things: Cat’s Angel Message for August 21, 2020
August Theme: Positive focus and creative solutions help to draw both prosperity and abundance this month. You are a powerful creator and all that you need is within your grasp!
Expect success and focus on what truly matters to you.
~Cat
821: What do you want from your life? That is the question that the Universe is asking us today. The truth is that we are the Captain of our own ship and the Universe and our helpers are there to help us navigate and to assist in the journey. Remember that you are a powerful creator and it’s within your power to create the life you want. Focus on the things that are important and truly matter. It’s ok to let something go or just let it be. If you look at your life and your path and feel like you are missing something take a step back. Maybe it’s time to sail out of your comfort zone and take action. Surround yourself with good vibes and invite new people and opportunities.
Today’s Spirit Helpers include:
Archangel Jeremielis 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, Saint Padre Pio, keeps us on the path of spiritual and personal growth. As we continue to grow so do our abilities like intuition, compassion, and seeing through the eyes of love. His energy is strong and optimistic which helps to boost our faith and confidence.
The Egyptian goddess Isis reminds us that growth requires patience and that change and growth are an ongoing part of life. “Be grateful for the baby steps that move you along your path, for they are milestones on your inner journey. Celebrate these steps and appreciate every kindness shown as they are all part of a grand celebration!”
Our Sacred Stones for today include:
Ametrine. This stone, a combination of amethyst and citrine, helps to release blocks like negative emotional programming. It also encourages growth while helping us to explore all possibilities and find the creative solutions that are needed to make the most of the information we are given.
Galena helps us to stay grounded and centered. It helps to open the mind as it dissolves self-limiting thoughts from our past that can get in our way during the manifestation process.
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

Change is a natural part of life. If everything stayed the same forever and ever wouldn’t that BE boring? We would always be the same, never growing or evolving, never experiencing the adventures that life offers. Let go of something that you are holding on to today, just loosen your grip. By doing this you are inviting some new things to slip in. It revitalizes the spirit and rekindles our sense of adventure. What are you ready to let go of?
Good Morning Beautiful Souls, grab a cup of your favorite morning brew and start things off with “Today’s Inspirations”. I hope you find something here that will make you feel good or help you on your path today.
Blessings, Cat

Wise Woman Herbal Ezine: Writing as Meditation by Sara Deutsch, M.S.
To write is to listen–to awaken the inner ear to the stream of thought, imagery, feeling and experience continuously flowing within us. In writing meditation we listen, and record whatever enters our mind. Through relaxed awareness and absolute acceptance of all the inner voices–”wounded child”, “critic”, “parent”, “loving guide”–we delve deep into the mystery of our unknown self and learn to trust our inner process to heal and enlighten us.
A five minute time limit provides a gentle pressure that helps bypass the inner critic, responsible for writing blocks. Freeflow writing is a blind date with your infinite unknown self! You never know what will happen! Read more…..

“When guilt rears its ugly head confront it, discuss it and let it go. The past is over. It is time to ask what can we do right, not what did we do wrong. Forgive yourself and move on.” — Bernie S. Siegel
“I have made it a rule of my life never to regret and never to look back. Regret is an appalling waste of energy . . . you can’t build on it; it’s only good for wallowing in.” — Katherine Mansfield
“If we don’t forgive ourselves for our mistakes, and others for the wounds they have inflicted upon us, we end up crippled with guilt. And the soul cannot grow under a blanket of guilt, because guilt is isolating, while growth is a gradual process of reconnection to ourselves, to other people, and to a larger whole.” — Joan Borysenko

A Note from the Universe
Okay, for just five minutes forget the bucks. Forget your soulmate, too. Forget the new car, the “home run,” and being on Oprah. Forget your fears, your problems, and your pain. And during those five minutes, feel the feelings you most want to feel, for the rest of your life.
It might seem awkward, that’s okay. It might seem silly, too. And I can just about guarantee, at first, it’ll feel utterly futile… until your entire life begins to change.
If I were a beggar, I’d beg you. If I prayed in question marks, this is what I’d ask for. And if I could implore you to do anything, let this be it.
Because nothing else that you might ever do will have as profound an effect on your fortunes, friendships, and happiness; in navigating the illusions, manifesting what you want, and avoiding what you dread; as this little five-minute drill performed just once a day, on as many days as you remember to do it.
And just so you know, if you do this right now or even every day for the rest of your life, I’ll add back those five minutes to each of the days you do it. I’ll just sneak ’em in there, and they’ll feel like ten.
Hosanna in the highest,

Myth “I find nothing in fables more astonishing than my experience in every hour. One moment of a man’s life is a fact so stupendous as to take the luster out of all fiction.”
-Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)
I don’t know who said “truth is stranger than fiction” but I have seen so many examples of things that have happened where I just shake my head and say: “You couldn’t make this stuff up!” I have always been attracted to biographies and true stories for that very reason. Here we are, actually living some of the great myths of our time! Our history books are filled with them. Sometimes the lines are blurred, and we can’t remember what is real and what is not. We take liberty with history to have it “make sense” to us. Can we believe what is reported to us in the news? Or is it just another story? It’s up to each one of us to be informed, and make good decisions

Daily Tarot: The Lovers
Indecision is not necessarily a bad thing, but taken to extremes it can make you pessimistic and defeatist. Take the time you need to make the choices you need but don’t get bogged down and grind to a halt. Take yourself in hand and refuse to feel helpless in the face of a challenging (or tempting) situation. Refuse to be rushed by anyone, too.

Today’s quote reminds us about bestowing kind thoughts upon others. This is important because what we send out comes back. The thoughts and energy we send out, good or bad, comes back to us. Today, make a wish for those you meet and send them happy blessings. They may not realize the gift you have given them but you’ll know!
I Am Ready: Cat’s Angel Message for August 20, 2020
August Theme: Positive focus and creative solutions help to draw both prosperity and abundance this month. You are a powerful creator and all that you need is within your grasp!
I am open to and ready to receive all the good things the Universe has in store me!
~Cat
820: Today the angels are delivering a message from the Divine Source (Goddess/God, Creator, Spirit). “The universe holds a bountiful supply for everyone and all you need is within your grasp. Have faith in yourself and in me. My angels are here to help you, so do not be afraid to make requests of them.” Remember that “divine right timing” also comes into play here. When we make a request things are set into motion and sometimes we see quick results and sometimes we must wait. When our requests seem to be on hold it is because we are not quite ready for this specific request to be fulfilled. The Universe waits until all the pieces are in place before sending things our way. Behind the scenes, things are happening and the wheels are turning bringing you closer to your desired outcome.
Today’s Spirit Helpers include;
Archangel Michael helps to calm our fears as he guides us through issues of self-doubt by clearing our energy field and quieting the internal chatter so that we can access the guidance being sent to us. He helps us to find our courage and our direction while giving us the strength that we need to choose wisely and make decisions on our own. Michael’s energy is easily felt particularly during times of stress and confusion and helps us when we feel lost or overwhelmed. He sets us on the path of commitment to our purpose by showing us how to work through obstacles that pop up as he teaches us that we have what it takes to create new things for ourselves as he helps us reach new levels of self-confidence.
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 Gnostic goddess Sige teaches us the importance of being still of mind. Information and guidance come more easily when we surrender to the silence. She says” Allow your mind to be still and let your inner wisdom guide you. The answers that you seek are before you if you have the courage to remove the veils and shed light in the shadows.”
Our Sacred Stones for today include:
Amber which bestows a positive mental state and helps us find balance, patience, and aids in decision making. Use Amber to enhance your earth connection and to promote grounding. It is also a great healing stone (it’s actually tree resin) that helps to remove energetic impurities from the body.
Carnelian is used for motivation and increased creativity. It teaches us to trust in ourselves and helps us find creative solutions to current issues as it boosts self-esteem and invites us to embrace our personal power while promoting positive life choices which enhance our ability to draw new forms of prosperity and abundance.
Orbicular or Ocean Jasperhelps to increase our sense of responsibility and promotes patience. It provides the strength we need to calmly deal with life’s challenges and soothes the emotional stress that can happen when we become impatient for results.
Blessings for a magickal day! Cat
