Small Acts: Cat’s Angel Message for February 9, 2021

February’s Theme: Trusting in the “unseen” and believing in yourself puts you on the path to manifesting your dreams and goals. Our keywords are “I CAN”.

____________________________

Share encouragement, listen attentively, and above all show kindness. ~Cat

_____________________________

29: In some respects we all share a very similar life purpose in that we all have something that we can share with others in need. These Humanitarian acts can complex or as simple as a smile or hug, kind or encouraging words or just being a good listener. Today the Universe is reminding us that we are all qualified to do these small and simple things. Make time today to be there for someone else. Embrace self confidence and listen to your heart as it guides you on this path of service. If it resonates with your spirit you are on the right path. In helping others we often find that we are helping ourselves as well and small acts of compassion and kindness can make a big difference.

Today’s Spirit Helpers include:

Archangel Zadkiel helps us to bring our compassionate energy forward and to share it with others. He teaches us that true compassion and healing lie in our ability to forgive ourselves and others. This is one of the best self-healing practices and gifts that we can give ourselves.

The Ascended Master Mother Mary provides us with all forms of healing. She surrounds us with her gentle energy and helps to fill our hearts with love as she imparts feelings of peace and safety as she gently heals the dark, hidden places within while showing us the path that leads to compassion and forgiveness which are essential to healing ourselves and helping others.

The Egyptian Goddess Nuit (Nut) represents the sky and the cosmos. She is a mother goddess, a life giver. She teaches us the importance of nurturing those in our care with patience and love. As a cosmic goddess she reminds us of our divine place in the Universe and while we may feel small and insignificant the truth is far different. She says” Rejoice in your own power. It is love and patience that allow you to shape the world and make you a creator in your own right. You do not need to have born a child to be a mother, this essence lives within all. Embrace it and send it to those around you.”

Today’s Sacred Stones 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 calm during times of stress. This stone is associated with the Archangel Zadkiel.

Chalcedony brings mind, body, spirit, and emotions into harmony by calming fear, anger or self doubt. It also promotes good feelings towards self and others.

Deep blue Lapis Lazuli helps to open the Third Eye Chakra (mind’s eye) and stimulates our personal power. It also harmonizes our energies on all levels as this balance and strengthens our knowledge of self. It also helps us to confront the truth of a situation and promotes acceptance of the lesson involved. It promotes clarity and helps us express our opinions in a positive manner and teaches us the value of being an active listener.

Gentle Success: Cat’s Angel Message for September 9, 2019


September’s Theme:  Why are we here is a question that we often ask ourselves, and this month we will be exploring our purpose.




If a warrior is to succeed at anything, the success must come gently, with a great deal of effort but with no stress or obsession. – Carlos Castaneda




99:  The angels are once again calling out to all Lightworker’s and Peace Warriors as you are needed during this time. Remember that even small things matter and whatever contribution that you make helps create better things for all. Send love and light out to the whole world, small groups or simply start with an individual. Each of us is a Lightworker to some degree and it is part of everyone’s Life Purpose/Mission. We are all capable of spreading this healing and peaceful energy to those who need it. When we all work together on this common cause healing and miracles can and do happen. Never be afraid to embrace your inner healer and share that energy with those around you!

The Ascended Master Maitreya (Laughing Buddha) whose name means “the loving one” helps to promote both global and personal peace. he also teaches us about the healing power of laughter.

This communion can heal a weary and battered soul and replenish your spirit with hope and divine peace.”

The Higher The Sun: Cat’s Angel Message for September 8, 2019


September’s Theme:  Why are we here is a question that we often ask ourselves, and this month we will be exploring our purpose.




The higher the sun rises, the less shadow it casts; even so, the greater is the goodness, the less it covets praise; yet cannot avoid its rewards in honors. – Lao Tzu




98:  Over the last few days we have practiced sending our light out to the world and to those around us. If you stop to think about it these actions are a part of everyone’s life purpose. Sharing our light can be done in many ways, however, it’s easiest through our natural talents, passions or even interests. By doing what we love or what comes naturally to us we are effectively sharing with the world around us. By focusing on service instead of gain we are opening that revolving door that allows positive flow to enter our lives. That’s when we find that any concerns we have are taking care of themselves. Less worry and stress sounds pretty good, doesn’t it? In the words of Captain Picard…. “Make it so Number 1”!




Archangel Michael helps to calm our fears and guides us through issues of self doubt by clearing our energy field and quieting the internal chatter so that we can access the guidance being sent to us He helps us to find our courage and our direction while giving us the strength that we need to choose wisely and make decisions on our own. The Ascended Master Mother Mary provides us with all forms of healing. She surrounds us with her gentle energy and helps to fill our hearts with love as she imparts feelings of peace and safety as she gently heals the dark, hidden places within while showing us the path that leads to compassion and forgiveness which are essential to healing ourselves and helping others. And the Celtic Goddess Aeracura shows us the way to expand and share our loving energy. She tells us, ” Playfulness and a carefree spirit are the heart of true abundance. By sharing of yourselves it creates an energy that spreads and grows.”




Our Sacred Stones for today include:


Inspirational Apatite helps us to be of service by encouraging us to be more open and at ease in social situations as it promotes a humanitarian attitude.


 Golden Beryl (Heliodor). This warm, sunny stone helps us to find clarity and illumination as it eliminates confusion of purpose.


Charoite 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 and helps us to see ways we can be of service. This stone can be used to reduce stress and worry as it helps us to overcome fear.

Whatever you want in life, start today. Not tomorrow – today. Let it be a small beginning – a tiny beginning. Your happiness depends on starting today – every day. – Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Something Marvelous: Cat’s Angel Message for September 5, 2019


September’s Theme:  Why are we here is a question that we often ask ourselves, and this month we will be exploring our purpose.




Anything I can not transform into something marvelous, I let go. – Anais Nin




95:  This month is all about discovering and working with our Life Purpose. Even if we don’t know what our “purpose “is the clues that provide those answers are there. Many of the clues we need can be found in the changes that either just show up or that we initiate for ourselves. These changes happen through the clearing process of letting go of outdated thoughts, feelings, people and things. Letting go tells the Universe that we are ready to move forward and continue our growth cycle. Remember that without change we don’t grow and it is through growth that our Life Purpose comes into focus. Today the angels are telling us that the time has come to embrace the changes that we have been working on or putting off. It is it time to step up and start creating the life you want and acknowledging what really fills your spirit to the fullest!




Archangel Jeremiel is reminding us that concern about change is normal. Ask him to help you to see your path clearly and to assist you in taking the necessary steps to embrace your future. The Ascended Master Vywamus teaches us that change can be a healing opportunity. This happens as we allow ourselves to let go of things that have held us back. Along the way, we unearth talents that we had set aside, which will help us to move forward. And, the Yoruban Goddess Oya helps us navigate the winds of change. ” My child change must be embraced, not ignored or simply put up with. Allow these changes to inspire and encourage you to transcend your self imposed limitations.”




Our Sacred Stones for today include:


 Chiastolite (aka Cross Stone or Andalusite) promotes the creative problem solving process. It enables us to release things that are no longer relevant to our current path and dispels any guilt we may have when we leave things behind. It helps us to make the necessary changes and brings harmony to conflicts that arise when we blaze new trails that others were not expecting or able to control.


Black Obsidian not only protects it also helps to bring negative energy to the surface where it can be dispelled and provides support during times of change. It takes the “things” that we’ve hidden and composts them into positive soil to support out new growth.
















Sunstone brings personal empowerment and fights procrastination. It brings out our natural optimism, self confidence and promotes our natural flow of abundance as it soothes our fear of change and the accompanying stress that change can bring.

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

Today’s Recipe: Strawberry Lime Cake


This is an elegant looking yet easy to make cake for these warmer months. The juice from the strawberries seep into the sponge and makes for a really moist cake. Using both the juice and the zest of the limes really gives it a nice kick. I hope you enjoy this cake!

Meditation


“The very best and utmost attainment in this life is to remain still and let God act and speak in thee.”


-Meister Eckhart

All the wisdom of the universe can be found in silence, can be experienced through meditation. When we are quiet, we allow spirit in, we are in-spired! This is how we get the answers we seek, this is how God communicates with us.
