A Hollow Heart

A heart to love encased in gold

now shrivelled tight and old

not to beat with life and love,

the story now unfolds.

It beats a life

an echo felt

within a chest so cold.

Encased within its withered shred

of hate, regret and woes

Hollowed out of love and life

empty thunders roar.

Not to live a life of love

its beating endless chore.

Clear Your Mind !

An easy way to clear your mind is to light a candle and stare at the flame.

You may find random thoughts float into your mind. Try not to focus on the thoughts just acknowledge them and move back to focusing on the flame.

Breathe slowly and practice a couple of times a week. You will find next time you meditate it will be easier to clear your mind and focus on your meditation.

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.   

Snowflakes

Winter's hold is tight and cold

smothered in a blanket deep.

All around the wind does blow

Timeless shivers within me creep.

Light the snowflakes fall around

swirling softly to the ground.

Covering all with magic white

pristine shapes a brilliant sight.

Now my bones lay deep below

the upper blanket of the snow

and the peace I hear above

of softly snowflakes landing so.

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. 

Be Thankful

Are you thankful for all the good things in your life?

When was the last time you seriously thought about all the positive and beautiful things you have each day?

Do you give thanks for your sight, for your health, for the people in your life, for your home, for the food you eat or the job you have?

If not what are you giving thanks for ?

Angel Duties

Your angels can help you with most things you do daily. Remember to ask your angel(s) for their assistance and it will be given freely. Many people tell me that they constantly ask for signs and help from their angels but receive nothing at all in return. Often there issue here is that they're not looking. Once is enough to ask your angel for assistance with a particular subject. After all you wouldn't go into a coffee shop and keep demanding a cup of coffee over and over again until it's handed to you. So be patient and perhaps decide on a particular answer, ask for a feather, or to feel a cool touch on your arm or face. Be specific because once you find a connection your angels will be delighted to use it constantly.  

It's A Whiteout !

It's official the Snow has Arrived.

For one thing I love the snow so i'm really not bothered about all the hype and media frenzy about the snow. Alright where the snowfall is heavy and roads, schools etc are closed i see the need for notifying the public.  However if you live in scotland you'll be fed up completely hearing about south wales being under several inches of snow - and they keep it up all day - it's exhausting to listen to.

So i'm not, not listening to any of it, instead i'm sitting in my back room watching the snow swirl around my garden and collect in soft mounds on every surface available.  It's been snowing here for hours now and there is something very serene in just watching snow fall, a bit like watching waves crash against rocks.

I love the way it effortlessly floats down sticking to every surface it encounters.  It amazes me that every single snowflake is a magnificent creation of symmetry and each holds its own beauty.
So i will be spending the weekend enjoying the snow and taking lots of beautiful pics of the snow around me.

Relativity Of Time

What is time?

A function created by humans to account for periods during each day, measurable and quantifiable so we can apportion out our daily tasks.

But does time really exist?

My angels have told me that time is a concept only used on earth. As such, time as a linear means of calculation does not exist anywhere else in the universe and humans find it very difficult to grasp the idea of a 'timeless' environment and space. 

Time is relative and I often find myself asking my angels to help me with more or less time as needed, after all we all remember those long afternoons in school when time dragged on and on.

Questions And Answers

We're told that we have all the wisdom that we need and all the answers can be found within. Although to access this wisdom we must first quieten the mind through mediation and focus on the stillness to access this wisdom.

We accumulate wisdom from our experiences and learning acquired through our lifetimes. However, many find it difficult to access this wisdom so one must ponder on is the difficulty in the access to the wisdom or finding the correct question!

Angel Card Readings

Sometimes we need a little direction, some clarity as we get weighted down by all the things happening in our busy lives.  I'm here to offer you a beautiful Angel Card reading where by either Angel Therapy or Archangel Michael card I can offer you assistance in what Message the Angels have for you and direct you back to finding peace and tranquility in your life.  You can also book some time via Skype for a Card Reading also.

You can pay by either a Pay Pal account or Debit/Credit Card.  It couldn't be easier.

Divine Light

We are all currently watching the Olympics and not only enjoying the sports we like but also the lesser known sports too.  Having spent a week glued to every event televised I have to say I'm really enjoying London 2012 very much.  The opening ceremony was delightful, fun and full of energy a very well done to Danny Boyle and i'm sure her 'Maj' will be honouring him in her own way later on - although I do have to say her role as a Bond Girl was very well done too. Congrats!

The one thing I have noticed about these Olympics is the Sprit that is almost tangible throughout every single event.  The Energy in London is very positive and Team GB are very tuned in to it.  There is a wonderful sense of pride and love emanating from all the competitors from every country and many people have commented on the positive nature and high buzz that is all around.

The Angels are working very hard to bring about this high infused energy and I can feel it even watching on television.  The Olympics have been wonderfully organised and top marks to all those who have been working behind the scenes at every venue to bring this about.  These people are listing to their intuition and Angels' guidance and this is evident in what is taking place.

Congratulations to all those who have won medals and best of luck to every nation competing.  London 2012 will be a very special event for many not just the competitors, staff and everyone in London and event venues but to all those who are tuning in and absorbing the energy and love that is being sent world wide.

Thought for Today !

Sometimes you need to listen and not give advice.  

Many people ask me questions about all kinds of things and some seek advice and guidance but today i'd like to ask you all to remember to listen.  When your friend wants to ask your advice about something are they just wanting you to agree with their decided opinion?  Is your work colleague relating an experience or asking for advice on how they should have handled it?  

We can sometimes get too drawn into the situation of offering our advice when it isn't needed.  Be there for all who need you but engage in the conversation by listening to their real needs.  

Are you practising listening ?

Steps to help :

• Focus on what the individual is saying, give them your full attention.
• Listen to and identify the words they are using.
• Do they pause for you to answer?

If they are just getting something off their chest, the steps below may help you.

• Give positive feedback and steer them away from negative words/phrases.
• Help them see your side/other side of the conversation.
• Ask them clarifying questions.
• Be helpful and positive in your guidance.  

Woods

When I was at school we were taught many poems.  However, one in particular seems to have remained in my mind and comes back to me from time to time.  I can remember when I first read it, even then it resonated with me.  I'd like to share that poem with you.

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

Robert Frost

Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village, though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep. 

Is there a special poem you would like to share with us, please leave a comment below.  Thank you, Cora xx

Don't Back Down ?

Today's message from the Angels is 'Don't back down'.   But what exactly does that mean ?

The angels don't imagine you'll be in an argument and to stand your ground no matter what.  Their advice is more gentle and encouraging.

• Not backing down means not to give up on your goals, ambitions and dreams.  
• Not to go the wrong road when you know it isn't right.  
• Not allowing others to change your mind from what you inwardly know is correct.

The angels know that you have the ability and integrity to know the difference between right and wrong and they are encouraging us, not just today, to believe in ourselves and do what is right regardless of what others expect, think or want.  If you find you are persuaded from doing your own thing or making choices that benefit you then today the angels want you to ask them for help.  They will help give you the strength not to back down or give in to other's persuasion or bullying.

6 Simple Steps to Help You

1. In a quiet place by yourself clear your mind and ask the angels to give you courage and strength today whenever you need it.  (The angels cannot assist without your permission.)
2. When you find yourself in a challenging situation, in your mind ask the angels to help you, (Angels please help me now.)
3. Before replying or making a decision take a deep breath and listen to your body.  What is it telling you?  Is there a tightening in your stomach?  Are  your ears buzzing ?  Is the situation making you feel ill ?  All these signs indicate that your body is telling you something is wrong - these are signs from your angels.
4. Leave the situation if you don't feel well enough to deal with it at that moment.  Get some fresh air and know that you are not alone. 
5. When you return to the situation you will be stronger in body, mind and spirit.  
6. Don't forget to thank your angels. 

Word Power

Word power - the ability words have !

We live in a world where we are inundated with words; news programmes, internet, Twitter, Facebook, newspapers, magazines, books, ebooks, etc.

Have we forgotten the power words have ?
Not so long ago many would only have access to a weekly newspaper which would update them on world and current events or the little radio in the corner of the room brought the world into the home.
We have in some way forgotten the power of words.  In History the words of a great orator would whip a crowd up into a frenzy or impart a belief or ethos.  Words were a powerful tool to gain followers or convey beliefs.

Have you given any thought to the words you use?
Your words hold great power to hurt or heal.  Your choice of words is very important, each word when used with a particular tone can create an energy of its own.  Be careful of what you say and how you say it.

I would love to hear your comments on how words have helped your life.

27 June 2012 – Yemanya – Golden Opportunity

The angels ask that you have courage now, you have been working hard to achieve success and it is within your grasp now. We have been asked to work hard, don't give up and you will see the results soon. Well now is the time.

Take the opportunities as they arise, after all you have worked very hard for this. Divine timing is very different to time on earth and you must have great patience to unlock and benefit from it. 

Enjoy your golden opportunity today. 

26 June 2012 – Shield Yourself

Shield Yourself

Many people believe in shielding themselves from negative people and situations. 

I believe that if you constantly live in love and light, the angels know that nothing can impact upon you, harm you or distress you. Only humans can effect you with their hurtful words and deeds. 

Many shield themselves with visions of glowing orbs and energies and ask for protection from negative situations and people. When working  spiritually  I don't believe that we can be impacted upon in this manner.  If we are working from a centre of love and light then we are automatically shielded as we only see. hear and know good.  We are not effected by the negative. 

 People who say they take up other's energies need to work on this issue, and learn not to do this. The Angels will help you in shielding yourself and if you are in love and light then you will be protected always. You need to re-learn to look positively on situations and people and not judge. 

25 June 2012 – Release

Let it go. 

What are you dragging around with you? 

Sometimes we carry many thoughts, emotions, regrets and negativity from the past around with us, sometimes it's just from last week. 

Holding on to memories is wonderful, it helps us to remember good things about our past and even people who have now passed. Holding on to bad things/events in our past can be a good thing too in some ways as it can prove and remind us of how strong we are. 

It's the perception of the memory or event that makes it positive or negative. 

Getting rid of all bad things can work against you so even those times of struggle that you overcame, or times of hardship that have made you stronger are worth holding on to. 

Release all these to the angels and they will help you to hold the positive and remember them in the right way. Let go of what you don't need, it is of no help to you today.
