Angel Day

Yesterday was Angel Day. I have been reflecting on the meaning of Angel Day. Kindness is the word that comes to mind. Kindness does not demand a thank you, kindness does not demand praise, and in essence kindness demands nothing. Rather kindness is a reflection of the love we carry in our hearts expressed by our acts compassion and connection to each other.

Everyday can be Angel Day if we allow our Love and joy to shine through. This is easier said than done when life presents challenges that feel unfair and painful. This is the perspective of fear and doubt. The late Franklin Delano Roosevelt spoke the infamous words, “ The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” Fear destroys our Light and smothers Love until all that remain is a darkness, which feels insurmountable. Fear is the absence of Light; a hopeless abyss that will carry you down until you make the choice to say, “No, I will not go down this road again.” There is a Light at the end of the tunnel, and this Light will lift you up, if you choose.

Butterfly


While sitting in the plane waiting to take off from JFK I looked out the window and noticed a bright orange butterfly fluttering above a tiny patch of grass on the runway. This seemed an unlikely place for a butterfly.  Immediately, I knew it was a message from above. Butterflies are symbols of transformation and beauty. The message that came to me is beauty is everywhere; even in the most unlikely places. This message supports me in remembering that no matter what is happening outside me, I can choose to find the perfection and beauty in every situation life presents to me. Which is the beauty of life. We always have a choice.

Fairy Energy


I love Fairies. I never tire of the magical world of fairies. Which is why I am embarking on a new journey by starting to write a follow up book to my first book THE FAIRIES: Evidence of the Existence of Another World. I’ve been doing more research, which is always enlightening and fun.

Fortunately, more and more books published about fairies and other nature spirits.

Here are a some I recommend: The Fairy Bible by Teresa MooreyHow to Find Flower Fairies by Cicely Mary BakerFlower Fairies Magical Moonlight Feast by Cicely Mary BakerFaeries by Brian Froud and Alan Lee.

People often ask me how they can see fairies. I don’t believe there is one definitive answer to this question. What I can say is you have to quiet your mind, relax into the present moment and raise your consciousness to a higher level. The fairies live within the world we inhabit but on a much higher vibrational frequency. They live on the astral plane where many other magical spiritual beings of the devic realm reside.

Fairies can lose all semblances of human characteristics because they are shape-shifters.  They can abstract their forms into whirling masses of energy, color and light. It is important to keep your heart and mind open to the different ways in which they may appear to you.

I am curious about my own fascination with fairies, angels and other magical and enchanted beings from the unseen world. When I was quite young I would sit in the garden looking under flowers for fairies. It was an instinctive impulse, and I guess I’m still looking. Joseph Campbell’s words come to mind, “Follow your bliss.”  I am grateful the Universe has offered me opportunities to follow my bliss by exploring the unseen world and sharing my discoveries with others.

Footprints in the Sand

This is such a beautiful poem.  I hope you enjoy it.

Footprints in the Sand

One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.

In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes there were two sets of footprints, other times there was one only.

This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life, when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat, I could see only one set of footprints, so I said to the Lord, “You promised me Lord, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life there has only been one set of footprints in the sand.Why, when I needed you most, have you not been there for me?”

The Lord replied, “The years when you have seen only one set of footprints, my child, is when I carried you.”

Mary Stevenson, 1936

Hope


This morning while working on my new book I looked up to see the photograph I took of the Angel of Hope. I heard a message to share with everyone.

Hope lifts us up, Hope inspires, and Hope connects us to our higher aspirations of goodness and Love. Hope heals.

This is what I have learned about Hope in the last year. There is Hope on a deeper level... Hope for me is the aspiration to my highest potential without attachment to the outcome.

Embrace Change


Change is a constant. Nothing remains the same. We change; the weather changes; the seasons change; the stock market changes; change is a normal consequence of life.

I have noticed my own resistance to change. I now recognize this as resistance to the present moment, or more accurately my life. Resistance to change only causes pain. Open to your life; embrace change; this is the vertical path.
