Hey there, fellow wanderers of the cosmic universe! Today, we're diving into the fascinating world of the Law of Attraction. Don't worry; this isn't some arcane sorcery or mystical incantation – it's a simple yet profound principle that can transform your life in ways you never imagined.
 
What is the Law of Attraction?
 
     In a nutshell, the Law of Attraction states that like attracts like. It suggests that the energy you emit into the world – be it positive or negative – will be mirrored back to you. Think of it as cosmic ordering: you send out requests to the universe, and it conspires to fulfill them.  Here is a few aspect of this law and how you can harness its power.
 
1. Visualize Your Goals
 
     First things first, get crystal clear on what you want. Whether it's a dream job, a loving relationship, or a fancy new car, create a vivid mental picture of your desire. Close your eyes, see the details, and feel the emotions associated with achieving your goal. This visualization process signals to the universe what you're aiming for.
 
2. Affirmations and Positivity
 
     Words are potent tools in the Law of Attraction toolkit. Use affirmations to reinforce your desires. Instead of saying, "I'll never find love," switch to "I am attracting love into my life." Keep it positive, in the here and now, and your thoughts will magnetize positivity into your reality.
 
3. Gratitude Journaling
 
     Ever heard of counting your blessings? Well, it's more than just a cliché. Keeping a gratitude journal trains your mind to focus on the good stuff in your life. The more you appreciate what you have, the more the universe will bring you to be thankful for. 
     Yes, I know—for some of you, keeping a gratitude journal isn’t going to happen.  I get it.  So wake up each day and state what you are grateful in your life.  If you can do this throughout the day, so much the better.  You’re now on your way in attracting positive energies in your life.
 
4. Take Inspired Action
 
     The Law of Attraction isn't about sitting around, waiting for your dreams to fall from the sky. You must take inspired action. This means doing things that align with your goals. If you want to be a successful writer, start writing. If you're seeking better health, make healthier choices.  In other words, the key word here is ‘Action.’  You gotta do the work!
 
5. Surround Yourself with Positivity
 
     Ever notice how you catch a cold when everyone around you is sneezing? The same principle applies here. Surround yourself with positive people and uplifting environments. The energy you absorb from your surroundings will influence your own energy.  Conversely, stay away from the negative.  Turning off the news is a good start.  Tuning out naysayers is even better!
 
6. Patience and Trust
 
     Remember, Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither are your dreams. Have patience and trust in the process. Doubt and impatience can repel your desires. Trust that the universe is working its magic behind the scenes, even when you can't see it.
 
7. Let Go of Resistance
 
     Release any resistance or limiting beliefs that may be blocking your desires. Sometimes, we cling to old patterns and fears that prevent us from receiving what we truly want. Meditation, mindfulness, and self-reflection can help you identify and can help let go of these barriers.   
     In conclusion, the Law of Attraction isn't some mystical secret; it's a practical approach to manifesting your desires through positive thoughts, emotions, and actions. By aligning your energy with your goals, practicing gratitude, and surrounding yourself with positivity, you can tap into the universe's incredible power to create the life you've always dreamed of. So, get out there and start manifesting your dreams – the universe has your back!

Lately, I have been worrying about things, more than I want to.  So, I started to think about all the stuff and began to realize that I’m probably not the only person on the planet who has a tendency to worry at tad more than necessary. 
 
I’m guessing you have stuff you worry about too.  And if there's one thing we can all agree on, it's that life has a way of heaping a truckload of concerns and anxieties onto our plates. From the nagging fear of financial instability to the ache of loneliness, from the looming specter of loss to the icy dread of the unknown, it's safe to say that worry is a pretty constant companion on our life journey.
 
We've all been there, right? That gnawing feeling in the pit of your stomach when the bills pile up, or the sleepless nights spent contemplating the future. It's as if life hands us an endless list of things to fret about, big and small. And let's not forget the daily dose of drama we willingly consume through our favorite TV shows and reality programs – a testament to just how much we love to worry!
 
But here's the thing: worry and motivation are like oil and water – they don't mix. In fact, worry can douse the flames of motivation faster than a bucket of ice-cold water on a bonfire. So, how do we fan the flames of motivation when we're knee-deep in a swamp of worry? Let’s explore!
 
1. Embrace the Fear:
First off, it's time to make peace with your worries. Acknowledge them, stare them right in the face, and say, "I see you." Sometimes, just recognizing what's got you tied up in knots can be a huge relief. Fear isn't your enemy; it's your body's way of telling you to pay attention.
 
2. The Power of Perspective:
Sure, it's easier said than done, but let's try to put things into perspective. Take a step back and ask yourself, "Will this matter a year from now? Five years from now?" More often than not, our worries lose their grip when we realize their insignificance in the grand scheme of life.
 
3. Find Your Why:
Motivation doesn't just sprout out of thin air; it needs a reason to exist. Ask yourself what truly drives you. Is it the desire for financial security, meaningful relationships, or personal growth? When you pinpoint your "why," you'll uncover the wellspring of motivation within you.
 
4. Break It Down:
Life's challenges can be like mountains – intimidating when you look at them all at once. But remember, even mountains are conquered one step at a time. Break your goals into smaller, manageable tasks. This not only makes them less daunting but also provides a sense of accomplishment along the way.
 
5. Seek Inspiration:
Don't be an island. Look around for those who've faced similar challenges and emerged victorious. Their stories can be a wellspring of inspiration. Whether it's a friend, a mentor, or a biography of a successful individual, find your motivation in the journeys of others.
 
6. Silence the Noise:
Our modern world is a cacophony of distractions and information overload. Sometimes, it's necessary to unplug, silence the noise, and create space for your thoughts. In the quiet moments, you can often hear the whispers of your inner motivation.
 
7. Cultivate Gratitude:
It's easy to get lost in the wilderness of worry and forget about the good things in life. Take a moment each day to count your blessings. Gratitude can be a powerful antidote to fear and a great motivator.
 
8. Take Action:
Motivation thrives on action. Start small if you must but take that first step. It's amazing how even a tiny action can light a fire under you. Remember, action breeds motivation, not the other way around.
 
9. Embrace Failure:
Failure isn't the end; it's a steppingstone to success. Embrace your failures as valuable lessons and reminders that you're trying. Motivation often flourishes in the face of setbacks.
 
10. Stay Curious:
Never lose your curiosity about life. The pursuit of knowledge, new experiences, and personal growth can be a constant source of motivation. After all, curiosity killed the cat, but it sure as heck didn't kill motivation!
 
So, my fellow worriers, let's not let our anxieties drown out the symphony of motivation that's waiting to be heard within us. Life will always serve us a platter of worries, but it's up to us to choose whether we want to dine on despair or feast on motivation.
 
Remember, it's not about banishing fear but making friends with it and letting motivation be the guiding light that leads us out of the darkest corners of our minds. Your journey towards motivation starts with that first step – are you ready to take it?

Many Blessings,

Life is what you make it.  While the angels and guides are there to help us along the way, ultimately it comes down to you and how you want to live your life.

In 2005, I visited New Mexico for the first time and felt the magic of the area.  I attempted over the next several years on subsequent visits, to find a job in the Albuquerque area, so I could move there.  The place felt so different to me. The sky was bluer, and the air was cleaner.  The mountains spoke to me. And even though it was hot, it was a drier heat and more tolerable.  But fate had other plans and so, I stayed in the Chicagoland area.
 
Years passed and my corporate world came to an end. Life moved me to Lexington, Kentucky. My part-time spiritual business blossomed into a full-time affair. I resurrected my novel writing career. Then fate spoke again.  Circumstances cropped up and New Mexico was again calling to my soul.  This time, the timing was right.  And so after many years of attempting to do so, I finally was able to move to the Albuquerque area in New Mexico.  My dream finally accomplished!

When I crossed the border from Texas to New Mexico, as I drove here from Kentucky—a 3-day journey, I cried and felt the wave of powerful, spiritual energy that is here.  They don’t call it the Land of Enchantment for nothing.

The Divine Guidance Team helped me get to the place I wanted to be and has awoken my soul to new possibilities and realities.  They wanted to share possibilities with me and you, as we shift our focus to new dialogues and conversations with you.  There is much to be said and discussed as we continued to grow spiritually, mentally and physically.  Even as we face challenges.

Note: New Mexico wasn't quite the place I remembered it and I have since moved to Louisiana.  New opportunities and experiences are now opening up to me.

The Great Shift remains upon us all and change is in the air in new dramatic ways. Learning to cope and grow with these changes for the highest return will be part of the ongoing undertaking as The Angelic Path goes forward.  I hope you will share our journey down our pathway!  The fun continues!

I am living my life the way I desire and am enjoying every minute of it.  Yet, I’m still learning and growing every day.  I accept what life is handing me, but I have also learned how to create what life is giving me. This is freedom and my heart singing its soul song.  Life is what you make it. How are you living yours?

We all have them – those people who bug us, who we complain about, who frustrate us.
People can play massive mind games with us.  When we are polite, we call them ‘difficult’; when we aren’t polite we call them much worse.
 
None the less they can hamper us, hinder us and even make us sick when we let them get to us too much.  They may be our siblings, our spouses, our co-workers, our bosses or the people at the DMV.
 
How do you deal with these people?  Ignore them?  Lose sleep?  Get a stomach ache?  Disown them?  Quit your job?
 
Once upon a time, I too had a situation (among many—but this was the one that turned it around for me) – where someone was being very difficult in a project at corporate world work that was creating great issues for the project’s completion.
 
One day I came home frustrated and angry beyond belief.  My Divine Guidance Team is always with me and they certainly were that day.  I came home mad as a wet cat. (Normally cats don’t like water and a wet cat is an angry full-clawed hissing type creature you don’t want to be near!).
 
I came home and was cussing up a blue streak (yes, I do occasionally do this – it lets off steam!).
My Team inquired what was wrong in a rather calm fashion, as they are warranted to do.  One particular Team member, Master Yeshua, was the front-runner spokesperson that day.  I told him in no uncertain terms what was wrong, throwing my purse to the floor and stomping my feet as a child in a tantrum would do.
 
I finally said to him, “What should I do about this situation?”  His answer came unexpectedly. 
 
“Bless him,” he said.
 
“What!??!!”  I yelled back (it was cool to do so – he’s used to it).  “I can’t bless him!!” I yelled and went on for another fifteen minute rant and rave.  Finally I let him speak again and again he answered,
 
“Bless him.” 
 
At this point I knew for certain I was channeling an Acended Master, for I would never in my current state of mind come up with this incessant, peacefully, spoken answer.
 
I went into another fit of anger, but I was winding down.  It only lasted five minutes.
 
“Are you through?” he finally asked as I collapsed into a near-by chair. 
 
“Yes,” I said, exhausted. 
 
“Then you must dig deep down inside yourself and bless this person,” Master Yeshua stated.  “For in doing so you will dissolve the block that is holding you from your solution.”
 
I pondered this for a moment.  “Do I have to?” I whined.  I can be stubborn when I want to.
 
“Do you wish to solve your issue with this individual?”
 
“Yes,” I said.
 
“Then you must bless him,” came the answer again.
 
And so with this answer at hand, I ponder the Master’s answer. 
 
The next day, I had a meeting with the difficult person, along with the rest of the work team.  They too were fed up with the situation and were borderline difficult themselves.  The situation had been a toll on all of us.
 
As the project manager droned on about timelines and duties, I focused on Mr. Difficult.  I looked around the table.  And I looked towards the ceiling (heavenwards) and silently, to myself, I said,
 
“Dear Angels, God, Master Yeshua and the rest of the Team, Please let me see this situation with new eyes and an open heart.  Let me heal myself and the others.  Let the bridge of knowledge between us flow openly. Let understanding flow between all parties and let there be peace among the team.  Thank you, thank you, thank you.”
 
Then I dug deep into myself (and deep is an understatement) and had to find all that peace, understanding and even love among fellow team mates.  I finally found that sweet spot and sent out waves of beautiful white light, love and blessings to all, especially Mr. Difficult. 
 
I blessed them all and asked the angels and Team to bless them all, especially Mr. Difficult.
 
Then I sat and waited. 
 
I didn’t have to wait long – in less than 20 minutes, if that, the situation began turning around.  I expressed myself in the meeting not with frustration, but with renew understanding and sympathy.  Especially of Mr. Difficult, who turned out didn’t have a clue of what was being asked of him.  We helped him with this process going forward.
 
The dam was broken and the project progress started to flow again after weeks of backup.
 
Mr. Difficult became Mr. Cooperative.  The project, while it still had its bumps, preceded and finally finished only one week late. 
 
I am convinced it was because I did as Master Yeshua instructed: I blessed the situation and the people involved.  
 
I am also convinced that anyone can take this method and use it to their advantage.  For I have done so a number of times since then with positive results.
 
The next time you have a difficult situation, stop and dig deep (this may take some doing) and bless the person.   
 
Many ask: “What would Jesus do?” when dealing with difficult people.  I know the answer: Bless them.

Many Blessings,

Did you know that we are programmed to fight against change?
How are you dealing with change?
Is change always good?

There are a lot of things in the world today that are changing.  Sometimes we feel there are too many changes; sometimes we think things may have the appearance of change but are really the same and then sometimes nothing feels like it changes.  Where are you in all of this mix? How are you embracing change?

Probably, like most of us, somewhere in the middle.  But did you know that we have a defense mechanism against change?   It’s called the ego –and it’s there to protect us against possible harm.  The ego puts on the brakes and says, “Now wait a minute, slow down, let’s this think out a bit more before taking further action.”  And for many of us, this is a very helpful thing –since some of us rush into things without thinking.

Then there are those of us who let this type of thinking stop us dead in our tracks.  “Whoa, we say.  That little voice is right.  I better stay right where I am and not do or go anyplace further.”  Don’t we all know people who never seem to change?  Who never strays from their comfort zone?  Who never goes out and experiences everything life has to offer?
They have the appearance of being afraid of change.  They may say they aren’t afraid and are quite comfortable where they are.  And maybe they are.  How are they responding to the world in that state of mind?  Are they happy with their life?  Do they treat others kindly?  If so, great!  Let them be who and what they are – that may very well be their current purpose in this lifetime.

But if they aren’t…well then, they are letting fear rule their life and may very well be quite miserable.  We all know people like this, don’t we?

Ego is not the Enemy
The ego can be a powerful tool for good or not so good.  It’s our reaction to that voice that is the key.  You can push pass this voice –it was only designed to slow you down not stop you in your tracks.  So listen to it and then analyze your own situation.  Weigh your options and your possibilities.  Maybe do some actual planning around the change.  Examine how you truly feel about the change and deal appropriately with those emotions.  Is the change in alignment with your soul’s mission and/or life purpose?  Examine what your reluctance truly is about and determine if it’s appropriate for you or a deterrent for you.  How are you showing up in the world as a result of your actions or non-actions?

We’ll be talking more about ego and how you can better deal with it over our next blog subjects.  We’ll even begin to start to talk more about your soul’s mission and your life purpose –which may be two separate things!  Lots of discussion ahead!

So, let us know how you handle change in your life?  Do you often listen to the voice of ego and let it stop you or do you manage to at least sometimes push past the voice and go towards actual achievement?
Let us know—we want to know how you deal with this subject!

Fear can eat us alive.  Let’s explore!

During one of my past relocation moves, upon attempting to transport my cat, the poor dear became terrified of being put into a cat carrier and lashed out in defending herself by biting me hard on my hand.  My hand survived, but it was heart breaking to see my cat so frighten.  She got over the whole incident within hours and once she was over her fear, life became an adventure again for her, as she explored our new home, inside and out.

But my point here is to point out that when backed into a corner and frighten, animals lash out.  And so do humans. 
​
We are frightful of so many things in our lives –from not having a regular paycheck to not having someone special love us; to losing a loved one to old age, illness, or accident to being homeless; to not having enough food to not being loved by people who should or could love us; to worrying about what our government will do next.  We are constantly worrying, fussing, and fuming over the “small stuff” even when we’re told not to sweat over it.  And if we’re not worrying about the small stuff, we worry about the big stuff – our nightly TV dramas and reality shows depict how much we worry about life! 

We worry and we worry because we are afraid.  And when we are afraid—we lash out in fear with a variety of behaviors, both dramatic and subtle.  The opposite of love is fear, not hate.  Hate stems from fear—often the fear of being different from others.

We all want to fit in, be liked and loved and to matter and to be accepted.  The angels can tell you you’re loved by God until the cows come home—but unless you feel loved, liked, and accepted in your world, you will be search of these feelings until you find them.  And you will be afraid until you are validated.  You will act out in many ways, from getting sick and dis-eased to arguing, procrastinating, from staying away from others, from making excuses why you can’t do this or that, by escaping into TV, game playing or gossip, or belittling and criticizing others.  More extreme behaviors are lying, thieving, larceny, and murder.   All of these behaviors and more come from a base feeling of fear. 

So how do you begin to feel liked, loved, wanted, and accepted?  How do you get over your base feeling of fear?

By starting to recognize fear-based emotions that you currently hold and behaviors that aren’t getting you where you want to truly be.  You have to start looking at yourself objectively and honestly.  You have to start by being honest with yourself ---and yes, with others.
 
Your behavior is triggered by your emotions.  Your emotions rule your life and cause your life to be the way it is.  Don’t like your life the way it is?  Change your behaviors, your habits, and your beliefs, which in turn will change your emotions and subsequently your life.

Rome wasn’t built in a day and neither is your life.  But by taking baby steps starting today, you can have a better tomorrow.  You can stop living in fear and realize that life was meant to be an adventure, full of wonderful experiences that allow you to expand in joyous ways.  My cat got over her fear and found new animals to chase and try and catch including chipmunks and squirrels.  (Note: she chases; she doesn’t catch).   But until she got over her fear, she sat literally in a corner, scared to move. 

Are you sitting in a corner scared or lashing out in anger and fear or are you enjoying your life?  

Hopefully it’s a balance.  Our journey is never over—that’s truly part of the joy of life—once you look at it from a different perspective. 

Start looking at your fears and see if you can’t look at the situation that’s holding you back, from a different angle.  You may be surprised at what you find!
