Thought For The Day: Jan. 28, 2019 “Faith & Hope”

Posted on by

Happy Monday,

Today is a reminder that we are capable of achieving great things. Our quote mentions faith, however hope in tiny amounts can also help us to move mountains. By combining the two we increase our power which propels us forward. Our forward progress helps us to find more grains of sand. Before we know it we have collected enough “grains” to fill a small bag, then a bigger bag and then before we know it they are spilling out everywhere!

A Wish For You: Cat’s Angel Message for December 12, 2018 

December’s Theme: Pay close attention to recurring thoughts and ideas. These messages and clues will assist you to make improvements in your life. Taking action will aid in manifestation.



This is my wish for you: Comfort on difficult days, Smiles when sadness intrudes, Rainbows to follow the clouds, Laughter to kiss your lips, Sunsets to warm your heart, Hugs when spirits sag, Beauty for your eyes to see, Friendships to brighten your being, Faith so that you can believe, Confidence for when you doubt, Courage to know yourself, Patience to accept the truth, Love to complete your life. – Anonymous




1212:  Today the Universe is asking us to stay present and pay attention on what’s going on around you and within you. Acknowledge the information that you receive because these messages will help you create better things for yourself and your loved ones. The Universe and it’s helpers are always here to offer assistance and support when we need it. With their help we can find the inner strength to keep reaching for the stars and cloak ourselves in hope. If you find that you need clarity allow your creative mind to take charge, as creativity opens the avenues to divine communication. Today’s number also equals 6, and while it relates to earthly materials yet it contains this simple message as well. Take time today to thank the Universe and it’s helpers for being there for you and for the blessings that you have received.




Archangel Raziel helps us to manifest what we need and is assisted by the angel Barakiel who sends good fortune our way while opening our hearts to receive the blessings being sent. 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 set aside things we have no control over. And the Egyptian goddess Isis can be a powerful ally when we need help. She teaches us that through love all things are possible and that hope reigns supreme. She tells us “Always remember that you are a powerful creator in your own right. When you cloak yourself with dedication and determination you can move the heavens and the earth and create miracles.”




Our Sacred Stone for today is Amazonite. This stone is sometimes called the stone of hope. It helps us to speak our truth with confidence and instills us with hope itself. It works with both heart and throat chakras.




Bright blessings for a magickal day!

KarmaTube: Smuggling Hope


What would you think if you heard of two people smuggling 500 pieces of children’s artwork into the Guggenheim, one of the most famous art museums in the world? Would it sound ridiculous? Beautiful? Funny? Like a waste of time? Well, in this fun video, you’ll get to see this happen thanks to Brad and Kristi Montague of the Montague Workshop, a project dedicated to doing things for kids—including smuggling artwork. And though Brad and Kristi succeed, their endeavor bears a surprise message about hope, one that startlingly reminds us that things don’t necessarily have to be the way we think they are.

MBG: How To Create A Sacred Morning, Afternoon, & Bedtime Routine


Falling into a routine doesn’t necessarily sound like the most exciting thing to happen to your life. By definition, the very word “routine” implies the opposite of special, and often, it’s something to break free from, especially when it involves less-than-beneficial habits (gluing ourselves to the couch or blankly scrolling through our phones at bedtime—we’ve all been there!).

Elephant Journal: How each Equinox & Solstice teaches us to Honor Ourselves. 


Growing up, I had the privilege of experiencing a childhood where I had the opportunity to connect with and develop a love of nature.

Because of this, I’ve always appreciated Earth and all that she gives us. Being from Northern Ontario, I have experienced not only the extremes of each season, but also the beauty.

MNN: Rest easy, lazy bones: Evolution is on your side


Be as the mollusk — and embrace ‘survival of the sluggish.’


You may not have to get off the couch after all.

In fact, from an evolutionary standpoint, laziness may actually do you good — at least, if you have certain mollusk-like habits.


In a new study of bivalves and gastropods, University of Kansas researchers have found chronic lethargy to be an underrated survival strategy.

Patheos-Pagan: Which Pagan Path Should I Follow? | John Beckett


I wrote a book called The Path of Paganism. The irony is that once you get past the beginner stage, you realize there are many Pagan paths, not just one. Like a lot of people, I started out with Wicca – that didn’t work for me. Eventually I found Druidry, and through Druidry I found the ancestral, devotional, ecstatic, oracular, magical, public, Pagan polytheism I practice today.

Inner Journey: 


CELEBRATE DIFFERENCES


“Souls don’t have races or sexes or religions. They are beyond artificial divisions.”

— Brian Weiss


Intolerance of differences always exists in people who don’t know who they are, people who don’t have a strong sense of their own authentic self, the soul within.


Intolerance is rooted in fear.


The basis for having a strong sense of self-esteem is to replace our unconscious idea of basic unworthiness with a conscious knowing of our fundamental inherent goodness. As Matthew Fox argues in Original Blessing, the notion of ‘original sin’ must be replacedwith the truth of ‘original blessing.’


Being in touch with our essential goodness, we can see the essential goodness in others as well.


“Beliefs separate. Loving thoughts unite.”

— Paul Ferrini

Patience


“Steady, patient, persevering thinking, will generally surmount every obstacle in the search after truth.”


-Nathaniel Emmons (1745-1840)


Aren’t we all together in this search for Truth? Our quest for spiritual growth is impressive! And that’s what will get us there – the way that we surmount those obstacles and continue on. We know that we must be patient with our journey, and patient with ourselves. We know that there is no “instant” answer, but that answers unfold before us with wisdom and grace. We know that our patience is rewarded continually as we grow and experience more of who we really are.


-Lissa Coffey

Beliefnet: 5 Tips to Find Your Confidence


Confidence is an assurance that we can make it. It is the uncanny ability to crush the inner fear and draw power when you are on empty. The definition of “confidence is a feeling of self-assurance arising from one’s appreciation of one’s own abilities or qualities.” Oftentimes when we do have the determination to move forward and step out in faith, we do fail. Experiencing the ebbs and flows of life is part of the human experience. To be honest, finding confidence is not easy.

Be Gentle On Yourself: Cat’s Angel Message for July 14, 2018 


 July’s Theme: Pay attention to your path. Spirit is speaking to you so get ready to receive some important guidance. If something compels you to take action this is the time to go for it!




May the world be kind to you, and may your own thoughts be gentle upon yourself. – Jonathan Lockwood Huie




714: The power of positive thought comes up quite frequently in our daily messages. The Universe knows that it’s hard for us to be positive all the time. There are days that…….. well there are just THOSE days. We all have them and that’s normal. The key lies in our ability to acknowledge our negative feelings and then move past them.  Remember that you can turn a negative statement into a positive one by substituting words.  By eliminating the words “IF” ( that’s never going to happen) and “BUT” (I lack faith and self confidence) from your thought vocabulary you can change the intent. Replace “If” with WHEN (I know it will happen) and “But” with HOWEVER (I have faith and patience). This will give momentum to your manifestation process. Our Divine helpers are telling us that by making these small changes we will become more empowered with strength and confidence.




Archangel Michael teaches us how to be more self confident as he helps us work through issues of self doubt and worthiness. He also promotes the courage and confidence we need to get our ducks in row and moving in the right direction. The Ascended Master Sanat Kumara helps us to find our wings so that we can rise above negative emotions and thought patterns and the Greek Goddess Iris, Lady of Rainbows, sheds the prism of hope on stormy emotions. She brings feelings of clam and  an all will be well energy. Iris tells us ” While there is beauty and clarity found in turbulence remember not to let these storms become a destructive flood. Look for the light and use it to ascend to a higher level of thought.”




The Sacred Stone for today is Kyanite. This stone helps us to speak our truth as it cuts through the things that are keeping us from moving forward. Kyanite is a spiritual stone that helps us to connect to our guides by opening the paths of communication.






Bright blessings for a magickal day!

Thought For The Day: June 12, 2018 “Hope Lives”

			
						

				Posted on   by  			

			
					


				

			




Happy Tuesday,


Hope is sometimes a precarious thing. When things go wrong we often feel or feel that things are “hopeless”. The truth is that hope doesn’t die it simply becomes dormant for a time. Remember the ‘one good thing” (we’ve talked about it!)? Always look for it, because hope lives there. Place your one good thing in a cocoon with other good things and pretty soon your butterfly will emerge. It’s a transformation worthy of nurturing.

You’re Doing An Awesome Job! : Cat’s Angel Message for April 30, 2018 


 April Theme:  We are being challenged to change ourselves. You have the power to make things happen and the Universe is on your side.




 Don’t underestimate the value of Doing Nothing, of just going along, listening to all the things you can’t hear, and not bothering. – A. A. Milne (Winnie-The-Pooh)




 430:  As we close out the month of April Spirit,  the angels and ascended masters are giving us a big thumbs up! The internal and external work that we are doing is paying off and we are  starting to see the results of our efforts. Creating personal change is never easy but we have learned that we have the support of the entire universe that we can call upon at any time for assistance in any matter. The work we have done so far will begin to show big results in the new month so consider this a day of rest and indulge in some down time. ground, center and clear then give yourself a big hug for all you have accomplished!






 


Archangel Jophiel helps us to find beauty around us as well as within us. She tells us to “stop and smell the roses”.  Ascended Master Maitreya is telling us to find joy in your day and embrace the warm, healing power of laughter and the Greek Goddess Iris, Lady of Rainbows, helps us to embrace hope as she gently surrounds us with an all will be well energy.




Our Sacred Stone for today is Rose Quartz. Use this warm and loving stone when you ground-center-clear to surround you with peaceful energy, you have earned it!

What We Think, We Become: Cat’s Angel Message for April 22, 2018 


 April Theme:  We are being challenged to change ourselves. You have the power to make things happen and the Universe is on your side.




What we think, we become. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world. – The Buddha




 422:  Everyday we are made aware of bad things happening around us thanks to newspapers, social media and television. After being bombarded with this ongoing negativity it can be difficult to see the good in humanity. But the truth is that the GOOD is there and we just need to look more closely to find it. More and more of our fellow human beings are sharing positive stories and their light with the world. This is also true in our own lives.  Even though we sometimes get so caught up in the bad that we forget to see the good. Today the angels are urging us to trust in the Universe and in ourselves. They are asking us to have hope and to acknowledge the divine spirit that resides that resides within us. When we can embrace our own divine spirit we are able to see the divine in others, this enables us to find the good in humanity and promote hope and faith to those around us.






Archangel Chamuel is one of the seven core archangels and is considered one of the Powers who oversee the protection of the world. Call upon Chamuel if you are fearful of current world events and he will surround you with comfort and protection. The Chinese Ascended Master Kuan Ti also help to prevent hostile situations and warfare. Ask him to intervene and help bring about peaceful solutions and Ascended Master Buddha brings us inner peace and joy.




Our Sacred Stones for today are: Chrysoprase which helps to tune in to positive events and brings us hope. Blue Quartz helps us to understand our spiritual nature, it also inspires hope as it calms the mind. Hematite helps those in need of grounding and protection and Rose Quartz can be used to promote love of self and others.
