Thought For The Day: April 13, 2018 “Are You Successful?”

Posted on by
Happy  Friday,


Being successful doesn’t always mean having a lot of money, expensive things or an amazing career. Sure………….. that stuff is nice but it isn’t necessary. True success can be measured by how we treat others. Everyday we have opportunities to make a difference in the lives of others. Single parents, stay at home moms, caregivers, people who volunteer or people who just enjoy helping others are just a few examples of regular people who make a difference to someone everyday. It doesn’t require money, just time, the attitude of gratitude and a compassionate heart!

Happy Monday,


It’s a new month and that means that a new cycle has begun. Our week starts with a reminder about our powers of manifestation. What? Of course you have them… everyone does! We are responsible for making things happen in our lives and for initiating the changes that help us to grow. What are your dreams, your goals, your desires? Are you working on them now or are they stuffed in a closet somewhere? It’s time to dig them out and take inventory. Set a goal, even a small one and before you know it you are manifesting great things! Now go………. create!

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

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!

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.

Being Your True Self: Cat’s Angel Message for March 12, 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.




I do not need anyone’s permission to be my true self. – Jonathan Lockwood Huie




312:  The Universe is speaking to us today through repetitive thoughts, ideas and visuals. These important clues can help us to improve our lives. We all have areas that need attention and  if something is not okay,  or  isn’t working out for you it’s time to move on to something better.  The key is in being honest with yourself. Don’t put frosting on a problem  and then tell yourself that it’s all better. It’s through change that we make these needed improvements and while changes takes time  remember that baby steps are the key to making them successful. Each step in itself is important so don’t be too eager and rush ahead as you might miss out on something amazing. Changes are often seen as scary but don’t let fear take over, you are supported in every way!












































 The Ascended Master Saint Germain helps us stay on track by showing us where improvement is needed. He is adept at make room for new things and giving us the courage to see it through. The Chinese Goddess Kuan Yin  teaches us that change and doing what is best for yourself is often the best form of self care and Archangel Jeremiel provides both protection and direction as we navigate the avenues of self improvement.








Our Sacred Stone for today is Turquoise. This stone is both grounding and healing. It helps to purify our energy and clears away negative energy as well. Turquoise aids our problem solving skills and protects us against self self sabotaging thoughts and actions.

An Abundance of Opportunities: Cat’s Angel Message for March 8, 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.




A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty. – Winston Churchill




 38: Today we are entering a window of abundance. The Ascended Masters are urging us to be bold and grab opportunities when they present themselves.  The key is to use what you are offered to create the necessary stepping stones that will form the path to your goals and dreams. Even if it’s not exactly what you were hoping for  keep in mind that each opportunity opens a new door or window that allows us access to bigger and better things. Keep a clear vision of your ultimate end goal, not the “how to’s”, this allows you receive in a broader spectrum. Visualize, embrace and be ready to move forward!




Archangel Jeremiel can help us to gain a clear perspective on the future we want to create. He also teaches us how our past events have shaped the place we are now. This allows us to make the choices that will keep us moving in the right direction. The Hindu God Ganesh helps us to see the prosperity and opportunities that come our way as he removes the obstacles that keep us from achieving our goals and The Ascended Master El Morya guides us through making decisions that affect our path. The strengthening of our faith is another gift that he freely shares with us.






Use Orange Calcite help dissolve problems and insecurities that can arise when we are faced with new opportunities. This stone energizes on all levels and  helps us to embrace our full potential. Sunny golden Citrine is a crystal of abundance. It helps us attract good things and gives the manifestation process a boost.

Inner Journey:  How aware are you?


“The capacity for delight is the gift of paying attention.”

— Julie Cameron


How aware are you of:

– your senses?

– your body — its condition, needs and wisdom?

– your fears?

– your defences – how you hide what you�re really feeling?

– your self talk?

– your beliefs and their power to create your reality?

– your passions?

– your purpose?


Go on a treasure hunt to discover your authentic self and the truth of life in and around you!


“Relative to the level of awareness that is possible for us, our ordinary state of consciousness is as far from a direct experience of reality as sleep is from waking consciousness.”

— Don Richard Riso & Russ Hudson

Daily Wisdom

March 7, 2018


Love


“Love is a fire and I am wood.”  -Rumi


Love has been the subject for poets throughout the ages. In contemporary times, think of how many songs we hear that are all about love! According to the lyrics, “Love is all there is,” and “Love can move mountains.” Love brings us to the movies, where we can see love acted out larger than life and feel our emotions stir. We are drawn to love because that is what we all crave more of. And we crave love because that is what we are made of! Love brings us to our true nature. We are consumed by it because we want to know who we really are, and love allows us to experience that.

Thought For The Day: March 7, 2018 “Start-Use-Do”

			
						

				Posted on   by  			

			
					


				

			
Happy Wednesday,


New beginnings or even just keeping yourself moving forward can be hard. Our thought for the day helps to simplify the process.


If we wait for the “perfect” time, it will never come. Make wherever you are right now the right time and take the first step.


If we wait for everything to be handed to us  we never get it. Start with what you have and the rest will come (and then some!)


If we try and force things to happen our forward progress can stop. Do what you can with what you have. The object it to START and get the ball rolling. You’ve totally got this!

Wisdom Is The Reward: Cat’s Angel Message for March 4, 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.




 


 Wisdom is the reward you get for a lifetime of listening when you’d have preferred to talk. – Doug Larson






34: There are times when we just need someone to listen to our concerns, our fears, or our worries. Like a dear friend  the angels and the ascended masters are also here for us. Their job involves assisting us on all levels as well as  surrounding us with protection and love. The more often we talk to them the easier it becomes to “hear” their replies. If you ask a question and find yourself receiving repetitive impressions, signs or thoughts then be assured that they have heard and are sending you an answer. Our job is stay open to receiving the information being sent, this will also become easier as our relationship with the divine evolves. Remember, never be afraid to ask for  their help. Keep faith in yourself, your inner wisdom and in your Divine support team!




 Archangel Uriel is the overseer of Life Lessons. He provides assistance with any problems we may have and helps us to make better choices when faced with decisions. The Ascended Master Sanat Kumara teaches us that we have an unlimited supply of personal power. He helps us strengthen our personal boundaries so that we can be and stay strong in situations where we need to be and the Hindu Goddess Tara offers us both protection and  valuable insight.She helps us to navigate the obstacles in our path with compassion and grace.




Our Sacred Stone for the day is Jade. This warm stone can provide aid in problem solving and shows us the path to reaching our goals and actualizing our dreams. It also promotes emotional balance and self confidence as it gently dissipates negativity and brings peace on all levels.




Bright blessings for a magickal day!
