Happiness is a state of mind that often feels elusive. So what does it take to experience true happiness? A little FAITH, the ability to live in GRATITUDE, and to embrace our GIFTS. It can be found when we BELIEVE in ourselves and when we share the unique ENERGY that is ours. You’ve totally got this and deserve true happiness. Welcome it in!
Did you know that you are a wealthy person? You have so many blessings in your life that are worth more than money can buy. Family, friends, pets, health, happiness, peace, joy, and more! Our challenge today is to look for the things that make you feel rich today.
Walk away from negative people and situations. Take a break from the media and online drama. Do something today that makes you happy and brings you peace. Look for the beauty, the amazing, the one good thing. Embrace gratitude and tiny miracles. Rise up and rise above!
Every day we make a difference in the life of another. Sometimes it’s a conscious effort and other times we may be completely unaware of it. There are so many ways to make a difference, some are large and grand, while others are small and mundane. We often go through periods of wondering if anything we do really matters. The truth is that that it does. Big or small, a touch, a smile, being of service or assistance, or just being a listener matter. Today, think about those who have touched in your life in some way. These memories are dear, hold them close, and know that others are doing the same.

However, the angels cannot do it all for us so we must do our part by adding our own energy and focus. This will help to open new doors that will increase our flow of abundance.

MBG: The Importance Of Friendship In A Time Of Social Distancing
In times of crisis, we typically reach out to a friend or family member to lean on. It’s one of the reasons the outbreak of COVID-19 is so stressful, as our natural reaction is to gather our friends and find comfort in numbers is discouraged.
A positive omen in all ways.

It may not cure or solve our anxiety or concerns but it can foster ease, connection, kindness, and well-being — all valuable qualities which would be good to “go viral” these days.

We never have enough information to enable us to fully understand the truth of the reality around us. And there is never only one correct perspective about anything.
Knowing this helps me let go of my tendency to label things as good or bad. I suffer least when I can accept reality just as it is. And I benefit most when I open my heart and mind in appreciation.
“If you are pained by external things, it is not they that disturb you, but your own judgment of them. And it is in your power to wipe out that judgment now.”

Reason
“Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord.”
-Isaiah (8th cent B.C.) Isaiah 1:18
Reason is calm, rational, and thoughtful. Reason could be called common sense. We are blessed with a thinking mind, which sometimes spins itself into wild imagination. When we bring reason into the equation, it lets us clear our minds, to see the big picture, to hear other opinions, to make sense of the chaotic.
-Lissa Coffey

Material Things: Cat’s Angel Message for March 6, 2020
March Theme: Manifesting our dreams and goal requires focus and clarity. By working on self-love we find the inner peace needed to navigate our path like a pro.
Living in fear of anything is a terrible wasteof what could be a great life.If you live in fear of losing your job,either you fear the embarrassment of being jobless,or you fear the loss of material goods –house, car, and such.If you live in fear of losing your stuff and money,it is clear that they own you.– Jonathan Lockwood Huie
36: Our focus today involves letting go of material worries and concerns. When we fixate on these things we are causing ourselves unnecessary stress. Even though there may be nothing we can do at that moment we often allow ourselves to get worked up. This is not so good for our physical, emotional or spiritual well being. The Angels are letting us know that they are here to help and that they are supporting you and your loved ones. Don’t focus on what you feel you are lacking, instead place your focus on what you have. Embrace gratitude and the tiny miracles you experience today. Show yourself a little love and hang out in a happy place!
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 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.
Aine, the Irish goddess of wealth and fertility shows us the path to increasing faith in both the Source and in ourselves. “True wealth is everywhere, but first you must find it within. Use the seeds you are gifted and use them to help you to grow your abundance.”
Our Sacred Stones for today 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. This stone is also associated with Archangel Jophiel.
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. This stone can be used to reduce stress and worry as it helps us to overcome fear,
Eulite (Hypersthene) which helps us to find solutions to problems (large and small) that get in our way and can hold us back. It will also make seeing the answers and solutions easier by stopping the need to overthink or overly critical thinking. Eulite is also useful for building solid relationships that are necessary for the manifestation process and our personal evolution.
