There will always be haters and shamers with their opinions of how we should look, what we should do and how we should act. It can be hard to deal with particularly if it comes from someone close to us. This quote tells us to always be ourselves. When someone gives advice the key lies in our ability to weed out what is true and what is not. Don’t go belly up and blindly accept critical opinions. Have faith in yourself and in your abilities.
Blocking the Noise: Cat’s Angel Message for February 23, 2020
February’s Theme: Trusting in the “unseen” and believing in yourself puts you on the path to manifesting your dreams and goals.
Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.Don’t be trapped by dogma –which is living with the results of other people’s thinking.Don’t let the noise of others’ opinionsdrown out your own inner voice.And most important, have the courageto follow your heart and intuition.They somehow already know what you truly want to become.Everything else is secondary.– Steve Jobs
223: Speaking up and standing up for ourselves can be a little intimidating. However, if we truly want to be successful in our personal evolution and making our dreams happen it’s definitely necessary. Today the Universe is asking us to engage in some positive self expression. Communication is the key that will unlock these doors. No need to be aggressive or project anger because you can be forceful and still be positive. There will always be those people who think they know what’s best for you.

She has ridden into our message today to remind us of the importance of sowing fertile ground to nurture our body, mind, and spirit. The keys to this can often be found in our dreams. She says ” As you ride into your evolution remember that you are the key to unlocking the doors that will lead you on your journey. Clues can be found in your dreams and daydreams so don’t gallop past the waymarkers.”

MBG: Pulling This Tarot Card Is Basically A Green Light From The Universe
Reading tarot cards may have hazy associations with fortunetelling, but this centuries-old practice isn’t nearly as mystical as it seems. At its best, reading tarot cards can be a direct line to your own intuition and wisdom. The practice helps one hone skills like mindfulness and meditation, and tapping into those abilities can illuminate a positive path forward in every area of your life.
In this real-life model of forest resilience and regeneration, Professor Suzanne Simard shows that all trees in a forest ecosystem are interconnected, with the largest, oldest, “mother trees” serving as hubs.

When it comes to “valid witchcraft,” there’s an ugly undercurrent in today’s pagan and witchcraft communities. Over the past few months as I’ve been promoting Intuitive Witchcraft, I’ve spoken with a lot of people about experiences of witchcraft invalidation. I’m here to call BS on this issue.
“What saves a man is to take a step. Then another step.”
— Antoine De Saint-Exupery
Does the prospect of changing and growing seem monumental to you? Just too much to tackle?
Then consider this approach. Take a simple step of affirming your openness to experience more or something new. Or a different first step might be to let go of judgment by embracing the neutral. Begin to see the people, activities and things around you as neither good nor bad.
A journey is made of many small steps. Don’t focus on a far-off destination if you’re not clear how to get there. Build a foundation that is solid for you. We get to new places one step at a time.

Unseen Friends: Cat’s Angel Message for February 20, 2020
February’s Theme: Trusting in the “unseen” and believing in yourself puts you on the path to manifesting your dreams and goals.
A friend is someone who understands my past, believes in my future, and accepts me just the way I am.– Anonymous
220: During the course of our lifetime, we will have many friends. Some are only with us a short time and others are with us forever like the Angels and the Divine Source. Today we are being reminded that we are never alone and that these ethereal friends are always here for us. We can talk to them anytime, they are always home, never distracted and always have time for us. They are the ultimate listeners and freely offer advice that comes in many forms. This divine relationship is further enhanced through meditation, prayer and simply staying “present”. Renew your connection today by expressing gratitude for the “Tiny Miracles” you receive and the insights that you gain. The whole Universe is on your side and a friend is only a thought away!
Our Spiritual Helpers for today include:
Archangel Zadkiel helps to heal our hearts and minds so that accepting support in all forms is easier. He also promotes compassion for ourselves and others while helping us to find things that we have lost, forgotten about or set aside. Ego is not a friend of truth as it forcibly tells us that we don’t need help and can do everything by ourselves.
The Ascended Master Yogananda teaches us how to open the channels of divine communication and promotes feelings of divine love and teaches us about peace and how to share it. He can offer assistance in all things including your spiritual path.
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 so that new information can be sent to you. “
Our Sacred Stones for today include:
The gentle energy of Blue Lace Agate helps our overall communication skills by teaching us to freely express thoughts and feelings in a peaceful manner. it also allows us to find balance and emotional clam during times of stress. This stone is associated with the Archangel Zadkiel.
Charoite. This multi-hued mineral is a stone of transformation. It helps to open our hearts to the concept of unconditional love and brings those energies forward. Charoite enhances our perception and helps to ground our spiritual nature into everyday reality
Larimarhelps 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 you manifest what you really need. It shows us how to go with the flow.
Bright blessings for a magickal day!
I invite you to share my work as long as no changes are made and to check out my websites:
Criticism is part of life. Nobody likes it but it happens anyway. This quote from Aristotle tells us “how” to avoid criticism, but does it really? Living requires us to do things, speak up and make the most of ourselves even though we may be criticized for it. The opinions and judgments of others should hold no sway as we create our lives and work on our personal evolution. Good things happen when we try. Don’t be afraid and never give up!
