Beliefnet: 10 Ways to Turn a Bad Day Around
Not all days start off well, and some of them might end a little worse. Small, trivial things can trigger bad days like sleeping past the alarm, getting into a spat with your partner, or spilling mustard on your shirt.

A Bountiful Moment:

Whatever happens to me today will prove to be a beautiful blessing.

Daily Thought: Going with the flow sometimes takes effort. We are all creatures of habit and have a need to control. We feel safe and comfortable when things stay the same. But going with the flow of the day can provide a view of opportunities that are present and missed. Don’t cloud your daily thinking with constant struggle to have things the same. Sometimes you need to take a step back, release control, and just let good things happen.

Daily Practice: Change your habits today. Do something that is out of your normal schedule. Go home from work a different way, skip watching the news or some other program that is a habit. While you are doing that look at all the new things that are different from the norm. Appreciate and enjoy them.

Have a Great Day and Believe in Yourself!

Inner Journey: Why? Why? Why?
“As long as one keeps searching, the answers come.”
— Joan Baez

Asking ourselves ‘why?’ helps us delve deeply into our main motives — why we do what we do. This process helps us go deeper into our reasoning, habits and unconscious beliefs. Once we become aware of our underlying motives, we can choose to change them, if we wish.

Regularly ask yourself, ‘Why am I…?’ Listen closely for the answer that surfaces in your mind, and write it down. Now look at your answer and ask why again. Continue with this process to reach the true source of your motivation.

“Men are more accountable for their motives, than for anything else….”
— Archibald Alexander

MNN: 10 Book towns where literature is alive and well

Hay-on-Wye

Hay-on-Wye was the original “book town.” Today it’s still filled with bookstores, many selling used materials and specializing in certain subjects. Some retailers have expanded to include antiques and collectibles on their shelves as well. The book town movement was started in the 1960s by Hay resident Richard Booth, who had the idea to promote his economically struggling town as a destination for book lovers and collectors.

The Quiet Voice: Cat’s Angel Message for March 23, 2018 


 March Theme:  This month guidance is coming from the Ascended Masters. Find what defines you and use it to inspire others. Free your creative side and share your ideas and gifts.




My quiet voice speaks the loudest. – Richard Carlson




 323:  Contrary to popular belief we do not necessarily need to be a “cheerleader” to inspire others. The dictionary describes inspire as ” to fill (someone) with the urge or ability to do or feel something, especially to do something creative”. While we sometimes need to open the door and let our inner cheerleader out more often than not the quiet approach is just as effective. Quietly inspiring others is an artform of great value. Doing things (even small things) that bring joy or peace to others, leading by positive example or even simply offering assistance (without making a big production of it) are all good ways to inspire others. They in turn will do the same or similar for someone else. By simply being cheerful, helpful and positive we share our light. Today the Universe wants to thank us for doing our part and quietly inspiring those around us!






The following Angels and Ascended Masters are assisting us today. Archangels Zadkiel and Michael work together to replace negative energies with faith and compassion. Zadkiel also helps us to see and share our Divine light. Mother Mary offers assistance in expanding our wisdom in regards to helping other particularly children. Melchizedek helps to rearrange unpleasant situations and shows the best way to assist those concerned through use of color therapy (chakras, crystals, reiki etc) and the Celtic Goddess Brigid provides inspiration, from creative projects to creative thinking she touches all areas with warm and loving energy.




Our Sacred Stones for today are:  Stilbite which helps us to find creative solutions to problems and enhances our intuition so that we can more effectively offer assistance. Turquoise promotes creative expression which allows to see the beauty in everything while strengthening our communication process and tempering our words with wisdom.






Bright blessings for a magickal day! Cat

Happy Friday,


The decisions that we make (good or bad) affect our lives, however it’s quite often the small ones that have the most impact. When faced with a decision we find that we have choices. The key is in weighing your options and taking the best of what is offered.Every small decision has the potential to become something amazing! Choose wisely!

Mind Body Green: How Being In The Forest Actually Boosts Immunity


New research, like the Journal of Adolescent Health study that found that teens who have more access to green space tend to be happier, continues to reinforce the idea that humans are intricately connected to the natural environment. Our entire body is constantly communicating and acting in tandem with our surroundings. But how can something as simple as spending time outside possibly make us healthier?

Take heart! It doesn’t mean the sky is falling. Mercury retrograde is not a freak occurrence, much less the end of the world. It’s a regular phenomenon that happens three or four times a year. We can’t stop it, but we can understand and work with it .Read more……………

A Bountiful Moment


There is a solution to every problem


Daily Thought: Every problem encountered will go through stages to resolution. 1. The problem occurs and appears as overwhelming and insurmountable. 2. The problem becomes less chaotic and devastating and more about the solution. 3. A solution is thought about and a plan is developed. 4. The solution is acted upon. 5. The problem becomes less relevant the status quo returns. Always remember no matter what the problem is there is always a solution.


Daily Practice: Make sure you don’t get stuck or that you are not stuck in a problem cycle. Look at your daily functioning and life situations and determine if you have become stalled without implementing a solution to a problem. Make sure you are always moving forward in your life momentum whether the problems you encounter take one plan of action or multiple plans to overcome.


Have a Great Day and Believe in Yourself!

Inner Journey: Contemplate Unity


“Poverty is in separatism. Abundance is in unity.”

— Torkom Saraydarian


Watch for those times when you perceive yourself to be separate from the rest of the world. When you find yourself feeling uncomfortable, threatened or isolated, remember Neale Donald Walsch’s words: “there’s only one of us in this room.”


When we perceive differences in thinking and behaving, we might remember that these are merely different expressions of the one universal life force. We can release judgment as to whether those differences are right or wrong or good or bad. We can drop the labels that divide the world into pieces, and simply appreciate the rich variety of ways that energy can manifest as form.


“If we are to achieve a rich culture, rich in contrasting values, we must recognize the whole gamut of human potentialities, and so weave a less arbitrary social fabric, one in which each diverse human gift will find a fitting place.”

— Margaret Mead

Never underestimate the immense importance of someone’s birthday, to that same someone, on that very day.


It’s like, really, really HUGE.


Especially when you appreciate that they chose it, probably a million years ago, surrounded by the wisest of the wise, scared to pieces by rumors of tigers, volcanoes, and cough medicine. Yet encouraged, nevertheless, by tales of romance, adventure, and… YOU.


Really. No, really!


Thanks,

What Action Are You Taking:  Cat’s Angel Message for March 22, 2018 


 March Theme:  This month guidance is coming from the Ascended Masters. Find what defines you and use it to inspire others. Free your creative side and share your ideas and gifts.




 


Every day is a new day – a day for new beginnings, new dreams, new action – a day for challenge, adventure, and discovery. TODAY, what is your goal? What is your dream? What action are you taking to further your goals and dreams? – Jonathan Lockwood Huie






 322: One of life’s big lessons is learning to believe in yourself and to trust in your own intuition. Too often we allow ourselves to be lead by what others think or say. By allowing this to happen we are not being our authentic selves and we are giving our power  away to someone else. While it’s good to have people around us who care and want to help us the truth is that you are the only one who knows what’s best for you. Today the ascended masters are reminding us to stand strong in our beliefs, both in ourselves and in the divine source. Allow  yourself to be open to receiving information from the world around you, and know in your heart that you are capable of guiding yourself in the right direction.




 


Archangel Raziel helps us to access both our psychic and intuitive abilities so that we are better able to receive divine guidance.  The Ascended Master Saint Germain teaches us that by staying optimistic we are able to draw good things to us and are able to  better understand the guidance that we receive and the Greek Goddess Artemis teaches us how to honor and listen to our intuition. She tells us that this gift that we all possess should never be ignored or feared. She invites us to make friends with our inner wisdom.


 






Our Sacred Stones for today are Pietersite which helps us to access our intuition, Star Sapphire which helps to open up our intuitive abilities by centering our thoughts and anticipating the intentions of others and Stilbite which assists in our manifestation of intuitive thought while helping us to put those thoughts into action.






 


Bright blessings for a magickal day!

Happy Thursday,


Our thought today is about purpose and motivation (hungry lion). When we lose our purpose and motivation we become lazy lion who misses out on what’s going on around him. Stay hungry, grow, learn and chase down opportunities.

Mind Body Green: 5 Quick Ways To Finally Put An End To Impostor Syndrome


Often when I sit down at my desk to prepare for a big interview, write an outline for a speaking engagement, or work on a new article, whispers of self-doubt swirl through my mind.


Before I even begin, the fear can start to get to me. “You know nothing,” a little voice says. “Who are you to deserve this opportunity? No one wants to hear what you have to say.” I know I’m not the only one. How many of you have heard those exact words echo through your mind—maybe after a promotion, an invitation, or being asked to pioneer a new project? Why, hello there, impostor syndrome.


Impostor syndrome was first named by a pair of clinical psychologists in the 1970s,

Spirituality & Health: 5 ways To Declutter Your Social Life


We declutter our drawers, our cars and our closets. How often do we tidy up our social lives? They probably aren’t terribly streamlined, as pruning them sounds so  severe. It’s okay to take stock. Consider the research of esteemed anthropologist Robin Dunbar, who studies the evolutionary structure of social networks in primates. He’s found there’s a ceiling to just how many meaningful relationships at a time we can have, and it’s based on brain size. For humans, it tops out at 150 about the size of a small village. More than that, it’s simply too hard to maintain. Let’s look at the idea of streamlining your friendships.

A Bountiful Moment:


Instead of saying “I can’t”  ask yourself  “what can I do” to create the solution.


Daily Thought: Stop repeating I can’t and starting thinking what am I doing or what can I do to change what is creating the current stress or difficult situation. Every day place your focus on the solution to direct tomorrows living. The solution will allow you to maintain control over your life and your future.


Daily Practice: Pay attention today to the times you tell yourself you cannot do something. Why are you telling yourself that? Note what is happening and why you feel like you have no power over what is occurring. Then take a deep breathe and think of every possible solution to change what you can�t do. Do not dismiss anything, every thought counts until you find one that works. Apply the possible and be in control.


Have a Great Day and Believe in Yourself!

Patheos-Pagan: Finding The Balance


I’m sure, after the post I made about Supergirl a couple of years ago, it will come as no surprise to you that I’m a huge fan of Star Wars. With the digital release yesterday of The Last Jedi, I have it on the brain  specifically, the way the newest trilogy is appreciating true balance of light and dark, and the spectrum between.


Competing Narratives


I have struggled for most of my life with western culture’s dominant narrative of light equalling good and dark equalling evil. It’s an aspect of the great cosmic battle that we inherited from the Zoroastrians, and their influence on first Judaism and then Christianity

Inner Journey: Hope and Disappointment


“It’s precisely the disappointing stories, which have no proper ending and therefore no proper meaning, that sound true to life.”

— Max Frisch


“Don’t get your hopes up!”


Were you warned of this as a child? What does this say? It says that life is bound to disappoint you. It says, don’t aim high because you’re not likely to get what you want. It says that we can’t expect good things to happen to us.


As our thinking creates our reality, this kind of thinking dooms us to a mundane existence. It’s time to change our stories. Why not focus the immense power of our hearts and minds on bringing to fruition the very best life has to offer? Allow yourself to hope and believe in all possibilities.


“Hope is the companion of power, and the mother of success; for who so hopes has within him the gift of miracles.”

— Samuel Smiles


“The very least you can do in your life is to figure out what you hope for. And the most you can do is live inside that hope. Not admire it from a distance but live right in it, under its roof.”

— Barbara Kingsolver

Today’s Recipe: Tangerine and Lime Bars


There are two reasons why I’ve made these scrumptious tangerine lime bars. First off, I love tangerine and lime flavours so much, I think they need to be stars of more foods. Secondly, my tangerine and lime trees really outdid my lemon tree this year, so when I went to pick fruit in my garden, this was the best idea for a sweet treat! This a very simplified recipe, so there is no egg separating or tempering necessary. The flavours aren’t as tart as lemon bars, they’re well rounded and velvety. I hope you give these a try. 🙂

Self Confidence-Faith-Creator Energy: Cat’s Angel Message for March 21, 2018 


 March Theme:  This month guidance is coming from the Ascended Masters. Find what defines you and use it to inspire others. Free your creative side and share your ideas and gifts.




 


 No, they don’t appreciate you – and it’s not their job. It’s your own job to appreciate yourself. – Jonathan Lockwood Huie




321: The Ascended Masters are sending us a gentle reminder today about faith. While it’s important to have faith in the Divine Source it’s just as important to have faith in yourself. This can also be seen as as an extension of yesterday’s theme of hope and new beginnings. By having faith in ourselves we are effectively acknowledging our readiness to embrace new beginnings and the hope we have for better things to come. We also gain valuable insight on a personal level and have a better understanding of our strengths and weaknesses. The key is to maintain a balance of faith between yourself and the Divine. Remember that you are a powerful creator and that the Universe is on your side!


The Ascended Masters like Jesus, Moses, El Morya can help with all areas of faith. The Archangels can help as well. Michael promotes courage and Raphael shows us how to heal areas of lives so that we can gain self confidence and faith and the Egyptian Goddess Isis teaches us that through our own divine magick we find joy and increased self esteem


Sacred Stones that increase faith include Pyrolusite which promotes confidence and determination, Peridot helps to sharpen the mind and enhance self confidence. It can teach us to look back at the past and find the gifts within our experiences and then shows us the path to forgiveness and moving forward.


Bright blessings for a magickal day!

It’s not really a fever, of course. The symptoms are vague, but persistent. People feel more energetic and often feel a certain element of lust—some of it for life in general. Exuberant sufferers want to plant gardens, move to the country, start new projects and may daydream of an al fresco dinner or even about calling in sick to work. But most of all, spring gets us thinking about love. Spring is hormone-racing season.

 Patheos-Pagan:   7 Suggestions For A Shinto-Pagan Spring Equinox


 I am exceedingly fortunate. My place of work, which is a Japanese organisation, gives us selected Japanese holidays as paid holidays in addition to the UK ones. And one of these holidays is Shunbun no Hi, or the Spring Equinox. I think I am one of the few Pagans in the UK who gets Ostara off without having to request it!






This is thanks to the fact that the Spring Equinox is an important day in Shinto and Buddhism, the two main religions in Japan which are more or less merged with each other. It�s part of a seven-day period called Higan, which is a time for remembering the dead. You can read more about what the Spring Equinox means for the Japanese here.

Inner Journey: Dream!




“The most pathetic person in the world is the person who has sight, but no vision.”

— Helen Keller


What’s the big picture for your life? Always have a larger, purposeful, even spiritually ideal picture of where you are going. Your mind needs to have a clear and challenging vision to draw you ever upwards.


“Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and follow where they lead.”

— Louisa May Alcott


“The only limits are, as always, those of vision.”

— James Broughton

Ever wondered why so many people, sometimes virtual strangers, tell you their deepest secrets?


It’s because when they look into your eyes, they see me.


And sharing their secrets with me, as you, reminds them that no matter what they have to say, my love is so much bigger.


We’re quite the team –

 Kindness


“Kindness is wisdom; there is none in life but needs it, and may learn.” -Bailey


It is truly amazing that as we learn and grow and attain more wisdom, that we understand more and more the real value of the most simple things in life. Kindness is precious. It is healing and life-affirming and contagious! And kindness is readily available at all times. If there were a prescription for happiness, kindness would be one of the ingredients. It all starts here – show kindness and see what happens!
