Angels of Abundance

Doreen Virtue’s books on the angelic realm have been a great resource for me since I started my journey of connecting with my angels in 2008. I was recently given the opportunity through Hay House Publishing to review Doreen’s newest book Angels of Abundance , which she co-authored with her son Grant Virtue.

   

As with most of Doreen's books - this one came to me at a time that I needed to be reminded that I'm not alone on my journey – that my angels are there to help and guide me, I just need to call them (and allow myself to receive their response).

When I have reviewed books for Hay House in the past I received a hard cover book. This time it arrived in the form of an e-book. Can you say the angels were signalling that I was in need of many reminders ASAP.  As I clicked my way through the pages I was reminded not to give up, to keep working hard towards my dreams and most important to pay attention to the signs that the angels give in response to my requests. 

In this book Doreen and Grant provide answers to questions about creating affirmations and how long one needs to do affirmations. Interesting - about a week after reading this book I was asked if I would be interested in conducting a workshop about affirmations. Not only was the workshop's theme perfect - it (workshops) was something that I have been hoping to branch my business in healing into. There really are no coincidences - and if you are reading this review, there is a reason why this book - Angels of Abundance - is being brought to your attention.

This book is an easy read, wonderfully inspiring and informative for anyone who is seeking a quick read on how to manifest an abundant life. And a wonderful reminder for anyone who needs a little nudge from the universe that asking is only part of the manifesting process - action and faith are also required.

Angels of Abundance - Heaven's 11 Messages to Help You Manifest Support, Supply, and Every Form of Abundance reminds us that we already hold all the power and resources needed to fulfill our life's purpose, we only need to allow ourselves to see what is revealed to us.

Week-end Inspiration - It's All About You!

Are you think only about positive thoughts ?

 Are you taking time for yourself each day?



What moves are you taking in life?

 Have you day dreamed today?

Are you remembering to stay strong when faced with challenges?

Do you remember to call on your angels for help?

When something happens that sends you into chaos take a deep breath and have faith that all will work out for your highest good- even if it doesn't feel or look like that at that moment. And know that change is constant so the storm will pass.

What is important is not what happens to you in your life - but how you react to it. Your reaction will set in motion the next events. Remember It's All About You! So think positive, believe, have faith and know you are never alone ~ your angels are always there to help guide you along life's journey.

Are you living your best life - at this very moment?

Wishing you a High Heeled Life week-end,

Do You Believe In Angels?

Origin of the word 'Angel' :

Old English engel, ultimately via ecclesiastical Latin from Greek angelos 'messenger'; superseded in Middle English by forms from Old French angele.

An Angel is a pure spirit created by God to help us along the life plan we have set for ourselves pertaining to the lessons we are meant to learn in this life and on a soul level. 

When we are born we are given no less that two Guardian Angels, as our angelic protectors. They are assigned to be with us our entire life and offer their loving and divine help, guidance and support according to the purpose of our life plan. Sometimes this is done, by inspiring a thought to spur us into action, in other situations it may be to lend us super-human strength (as in the example of a mother lifting a car to free her small trapped child). Guardian angels tend to be souls who once walked the earth in human form.

Archangels are larger in energy and more powerful than our Guardian Angels.Archangel's are capable of anything, though certain Archangels have chosen to specialize. Depending on the question, concern, celebration or decision you face, there is an Archangel who loves to help in that exact way. Each Archangel also has an aura color; this color represents the frequency that the archangel vibrates in – much like our own aura colors. Every frequency of spirit, angelic, earth and human energy has a unique color or combination of colors.

Our Guardian  Angels and the Archangels are always around us — supporting, guiding and caring for us at all times. 

How do you know when they are near?

Tea with Friends ....

I'm so happy you stopped by for tea today. Today's tea is a very special tea, as it is a tea that was created by friends.

 

This lovely tea cup was sent to me from my dear blogging friend Nan. I love the delicate swirl of the handle and it shows that it has been loved over many teas. And the colourful floral is perfect for welcoming spring. There are no markings on the bottom of cup or saucer ... so I'll call it my friendship cup - Nan.

While in Paris with my dear friend Elizabeth in 2011, she introduced me to The Mariage and of course since they are the oldest tea producers in France ~ I needed to learn more. This book has been a wonderful read, many times over.

 Look at how darling the footing of the teacup is ....

 Where there is tea ... a treat or two usually follows and this little Limoges dessert dish from France is perfect ... especially for the goodies that will be served with today's tea.

Voila! Elizabeth, had a friend of hers bring back some most delectable treats for moi, from a trip to France. And surprised me with a knock on my door one morning ~ to present this precious bag.  

Inside .... a beautiful rainbow of MARCARONS ... brought from France - just for moi!! but that is not all this bag contained...

An extra treat of tea from The Mariage  ... Marco Polo and this surprise contained even more ...

You see ... my sister-in-love's father passed away while on a cruise with his wife. My sister-in-law is pregnant with twins and this was a most stressful time for our family these past couple of weeks. Being 4 plus hours away from my family means there is much planning for a trip home .. but in an emergency the luxury of time does not exist.

The gift that accompanied Elizabeth's visit was the hug she gave me. It was exactly what I needed a caring hug from a dear friend, to help me get on my way to my family.

Angels and friends are blessings from heaven ... treasure them!

Have you had a friend visit or send a letter/card, or call unexpectedly and realize that was exactly what you needed at that moment?

From Heaven to Earth to Heaven and Back ...

If you would have told me 6 years ago that:

I would be scrap booking and blogging

I would be living in the countryside

I would be wearing flat shoes on a regular basis 

I would be a doting Doggie-mom to 3 furbabies

I would be in a relationship, let alone with someone who is a widow

I would be focusing on how I could help others with my time

I would be asking Angels and Spirit Guides for direction

I would be writing 

I would have responded...

" I think you have either had one drink too many, 

been out in the sun too long or gone mad? ... My career is my top priority, I have no time for any of that! ... And I may not be religious, but I do believe in God ~ there is no time for middle Angels or Guides, I speak straight to the top ".

Of course if you have been a regular reader of this blog, you already know God had other plans for me. So while I had been busy living and making plans for the grande lifestyle I wanted. And perhaps not remembering the purpose I had come to this place called earth, HE decided to give me a little time to think ... about why I was here and what I truly NEEDED.

This "time" HE gave me even included a trip (HE knows how I loved to travel) - this trip of course would be Home and would not involve a plane. Instead it would be HIS helping Angels that would lift me into the sky and along the way refresh my mind about what really is important to do with this time we are gifted with here on earth.

I have been told prayers were being said for me throughout Europe, Africa, South and North America, Asia – the power of the internet, loving family and friends throughout the world, spread the need of prayer for me.

I was truly blessed to have so many people from different cultures, religions, backgrounds and beliefs coming together for my survival.

I have been asked - "Why is that despite how hard some people pray their loved ones, they still return HOME while others survive?" The answer that comes to me is  ~ We pray for this person to survive. And they do survive (trust me on this).How they survive may not be the way we WANT, but the way they NEED to survive. We all survive this life we live here, some by staying longer to fully complete their purpose. While others having completed their work return Home (before us), to decide which lessons they will return to learn or teach next.

Silver Linings

Through time, compassion and love comes healing. From our darkest and hardest times we learn our most valued lessons and experience our most rapid growth. ~ as quoted by Artist Jane Crisp.

I have been blessed with the gift of returning HOME (YES, there really is a HOME we all come from - it is called various names, depending where in the world you were born/raised. Heaven is what I have been taught to call it ). And double blessed with the gift of remembering such a precious gift, though the how to carry out my purpose here, is buried deep within my sub-conscious - I know it's there and I am meant to find strength in this dark journey, so that I may help others find the strength to come out of their own dark journeys and go on to fulfill their purpose in this life-time.

Though we may be alone ... We are never truly alone, if we believe and have a little faith.

A drunk man in an Oldsmobile

They said had run the light

That caused the six-car pileup

On 109 that night.

When broken bodies lay about

And blood was everywhere,

The sirens screamed out eulogies,

For death was in the air.

A mother, trapped inside her car,

Was heard above the noise;

Her plaintive plea near split the air:

Oh, God, please spare my boys!"

She fought to loose her pinned hands;

She struggled to get free,

But mangled metal held her fast

In grim captivity.

Her frightened eyes then focused

On where the back seat once had been,

But all she saw was broken glass and

Two children's seats crushed in.

Her twins were nowhere to be seen;

She did not hear them cry,

And then she prayed they'd been thrown free,

Oh, God, don't let them die!"

Then firemen came and cut her loose,

But when they searched the back,

They found therein no little boys,

But the seat belts were intact.

They thought the woman had gone mad

And was travelling alone,

But when they turned to question her,

They discovered she was gone.

Policemen saw her running wild

And screaming above the noise

In beseeching supplication,

Please help me find my boys!

They're four years old and wear blue shirts;

Their jeans are blue to match."

One cop spoke up, "They're in my car,

And they don't have a scratch.

They said their daddy put them there

And gave them each a cone,

Then told them both to wait for Mom

To come and take them home.

I've searched the area high and low,

But I can't find their dad.

He must have fled the scene,

I guess, and that is very bad."

The mother hugged the twins and said,

While wiping at a tear,

He could not flee the scene, you see,

For he's been dead a year."

The cop just looked confused and asked,

Now, how can that be true?"

The boys said, "Mommy, Daddy came

And left a kiss for you."

He told us not to worry

And that you would be all right,

And then he put us in this car with

The pretty, flashing light.

We wanted him to stay with us,

Because we miss him so,

But Mommy, he just hugged us tight

And said he had to go.

He said someday we'd understand

And told us not to fuss,

And he said to tell you, Mommy,

He's watching over us."

The mother knew without a doubt.

That what they spoke was true,

For she recalled their dad's last words,

I will watch over you."

The firemen's notes could not explain

The twisted, mangled car,

And how the three of them escaped

Without a single scar.

But on the cop's report was scribed,

In print so very fine,

An angel walked the beat tonight

on Hwy. 109

- Unknown

Doctor's have told me that the soft tissue damage (no hair now grows in this spot) on the back of my head is consistent with a person whose skull fractures from impact against a hard surface, resulting in most cases - brain dead. They can't explain why my skull did not fracture - and say I'm a miracle to have come away with a brain injury.

I have a feeling my grandparents (both sets), whom I know are with me each day had something to do with it. A Miracle from God through their love and care from above.

Change Your Shoes, Change Your Life

Everyone has been through a time in life, 

when they wake up one morning and 

life as they knew it is no longer.

 You smile on the outside ...

While on the inside...

You know the new you and life is out there, somewhere....

Then you realize change your shoes, change your life 

really is not just a cliché 

You're no longer wearing heels, but the rest of you 

just hasn't realized it!

Your body and mind still try desperately to

 function and think like you are wearing those heels.

As you continue to smile ~ so those around you don't 

see the darkness that surrounds you ...

You turn to your Angels and ask for help

We have been waiting for you to ask!!

they happily reply...

Before you know it you are making new dreams...

Everything starts with a Dream or two...

I'll be taking a little blogging break ... but will be back very soon...
