Smile

It sounds ever so simple 'smile'.  
It's what we do when we meet people, when we're having our photo taken or when we like someone.  But what does a 'smile' mean?
In simple terms it's an outward expression of how your heart or soul resonate with a situation.  

We can all tell a false smile immediately; it's as if we can sense there is no heart or soul behind it.  
So to honestly smile and mean it we need to connect with our hearts and souls and beam brightly with the result.  

For some people a smile, even from a stranger can re-engage them with their hearts and souls.  It makes a deep connection in that fleeting second and if you have ever tried it, you will almost always get a smile in return.  

The angels taught me when I was young that the intention I held in my heart when doing anything was the genuine reason for doing it.  This intention was the true and divine purpose of my actions and would always steer me in the right direction.  So when I smile it is genuine, as I am tapping into a deep connection between my heart and soul and the resounding smile is truly heart felt and heart given.

Smile at someone today, connect with how you feel when you do it.  

If my post has resonated with you today, consider leaving a comment as to do so not only expands your learning and understand but also help others on their path and journey.

Love and Strength

We are often told to open our hearts to love and to show love to others especially those who hurt and upset us. This allows us to forgive and move on, opening us up to further love and grace.

Most of the time it is easy to open your heart and shower those you love and the world in the healing glow of your love.

On the other hand there are times when this is the most difficult thing in the world to do. There are days when our loved ones hurt us, either through actions or words and these actions gnaw away at our souls. They pierce a thin membrane and wound us deeply. We are after all human and the fragility of being human can at times make us paper over aches and wounds so we can muster the strength to face another day. Therefore it doesn't take much to peel this fragile layer away and re-expose the wound.

At times like this having strength of the soul can help you to face this wound, take on its pain and see it in the light of day. You can examine why this wound hurts and why are you carrying around this hurt? Every little question you answer and expose can help you to permanently remove these hurts and wounds allowing your strength to overcome and fight on.

To love means you have to be strong, because love has many facets and dimensions, many ways it can be used against you, many ways to hurt and wound you but its greatest treasure is that it can be the answer to all your questions and be the one part of you that you take with you. It never subsides, never dies and never ever leaves you.

Have the strength to love.  

Angels Everywhere

This last week I spent quite some time chatting with my Sister on Skype.  Nothing fantastic just the usual updates and goings on in the families. To my horror I realised it was almost 3pm and i'd nothing done.  We swiftly said our good byes etcs and I rushed about getting some order on my kitchen.

Suddenly I realised i'd forgotten to go to Costco to do a quick stock up and dashed to the car.
As I ran out the door my daughter informed me to go easy as there was road works and at this 'awful' hour it would be a bit manic. Yes the school rush time is the time to avoid the roads if at all possible.
Without thinking I headed off hoping that all would be OK and announcing to my Angels in the back seat - 'Over to you guys' .

I put the radio on, rubbish nothing great to drive to so I had to make do with my hubby's CD of Garth Brooks - not bad; a few sing along types did me fine.
Got to Costco within 35 minutes - a record but not even noticing the time I dashed out of the car and in to the store. Wow I couldn't believe my luck, instead of being thronged with frazzled mums and snarling kids it was almost empty.  I dashed around got all my stuff and headed to the checkout in record time.

Only 2 checkouts open and one with some very full trollies so I decided to go to the other. As I approached a member of staff finishing at a nearby checkout said 'Allow me to sort your trolly,' naturally I didn't refuse.  And again the other side the same kindly soul filled it again.

I smiled as I left the store only to get a fantastic blast of cold wind and rain in my face. I dashed to the car.  Luckily with the boot raised it blocked the advancing downpour and as I reached for the last few items I pondered if I should return the trolley to the trolley bay or the front of the store.  I hadn't made up my mind on reaching the last item when from no where a young man, said behind me, 'I'll take that back for you, save you getting wet!" "Thank you, you're very kind," I responded but I doubt he heard as he rushed off - i noticed he wasn't even wearing a jacket as I dashed to the driver door and got in.

"Thank you all," I said as I took a quick moment to thank my Angels.
A short while later I retuned safely home and there waiting for me on the door mat was a pristine white feather.

Laughter

Laughter is great for the Soul.

It lightens your mood, relaxes you and helps you to unwind. 

I find children's and babies laughter, full of innocence, wonder, expectant delight and lightness. Its pure energy produces love in sound waves that wash over you and leave you feeling light and fluffy - just like a cloud.  Passing by a school ground and hearing the children playing and laughing is such a wonderful thing to experience.

Angels love laughter and they really enjoy joining in when we are laughing. 

You encourage angels into your life when you laugh and see the lighter side of light.   

God Is Good

My life is mine but yet it's not

A gift for me to live.

All are one, in this place

connected through every race.

I was chosen to come here now

to share my love with you

I serve him every day I live

by serving you.

Share his light and gift of love

with others every day,

Then you will bring your soul

to light and fill your life with love.

He waits for us to return home

full of joy and peace,

to share our lives lived on earth

so all will know his love. 

Just Be

We are all going along living our lives, day after day.  Our priorities change as we get older and our interests and hobbies evolve.  No matter who you are, where you live or what you do you have at least one angel with you every second of your life.  Some are aware of their angels others are not.  


I'm not here to tell everyone they must be communicating with their angels daily.  This is their own choice.  We all have free will and we can use it anyway we choose.  


We are all at different points in our Spiritual Journey and for some this will mean needing to find out more about their Soul, Soul Journey, Spiritual Journey, Inner Self, Inner beliefs etc.  The angels have guided me all my life and shown me a different way to others.  They guided me to set up this 'blog', my website and other pages on social network sites.  This in turn has help others to find a focal point for their journey and clarity on different points and issues.  The best advice I can give anyone who is searching is to learn to 'just be'.  


To 'Just Be', is difficult, but with practice, meditation as well as listening to your guidance and knowing you too can 'Just Be'.  To be present in the moment, to experience every moment for its clarity, beauty and existence is amazing and when you achieve it you too will understand what it fully means.  


Please share your moments of clarity, inspiration or beauty with us all, they help us all on our journey too.

Thinking Time

Today is just like any other day.  
Sitting at the kitchen table I work steadily through the hours.  
Then a loud clap of thunder distracts me.  
I listen, get up and go to the back window.  A few minutes later the rain begins, its soft clinking on the windows around and above me creates a melodic rhythmic beat.  I gently open the window and a soft chilly air embraces me. 
I drink in the sweet smell of rain and damp grass, it evokes memories of long gone days of family and love but here, now, standing in my kitchen I look at the soft green hues in my back garden as life returns to it, and I feel totally relaxed and refreshed.  
I thank my angels for bringing all this beauty to my attention.  A beauty which would have totally passed me by if I had remained engrossed at my computer.  
A short thinking time does wonders for the spirit and soul and is very much needed from time to time.
