I originally wanted to title this blog "About Our Pets," but since it's Halloween I thought I'd capture your attention with this adorable photo and title...

Today I am participating in a vendor fair, 10-3 p.m. at Living Things in Schnecksville. I will be offering mini angel card readings and pet Reiki. Our vendor fees are going to Tattered Tails Animal Rescue, so I thought it would be appropriate to deliver a few messages from Spirit regarding our pets.

Despite what you may have heard or been told, the pets that we cherish really do go to heaven. I see them there! They are with our loved ones whom have passed (even if they've never met in this lifetime). They are healthy and playful and our loved ones adore having them around. I am often able to connect with these pets to assure my clients that there is an afterlife for the creatures that God gave us for love, companionship and protection.

Another question that arises so often is concerning the painful decision of euthanasia. Since it is permissible to end the suffering our pets are enduring, we often doubt the decision to do so, even after seeking professional, trusted medical advice. Please know that these decisions are divinely orchestrated by your pet. Their souls are pure, and they lead us to solutions that are in their best interest. Believe me, euthanasia is always in their best interest. Typically they are suffering much longer than they will let on since they want to protect us. When the moment finally arises when you need to make that painful decision, IT IS TIME. Be grateful that you are able to end their suffering because they are grateful for YOU.

Never doubt whether you did "the right thing." If the opportunity has presented itself to you and the evidence is overwhelming, then it is the right time. Trust that our Spiritual team wraps our buddies in their loving embrace and keeps them happy and safe until they are returned to us. I see it all the time.

In honor of the amazing pets so many of us have, I will be donating $10 from any pet Reiki or attunement session that I hold in November. Please see my "contact" page to email me about scheduling an appointment.

Archangel blessings today from Azrael, the "Angel of Death." She is a wonderful counselor and helps me daily with connecting to our Spiritual teams.

PS: Black cats AREN'T bad luck, that's just silly superstition. Don't let it interfere with your decision to adopt one of these beauties! Today is the perfect day....

Do you feel stuck in a dead-end job? Do you feel like there should be more to life than punching a time clock? Are you searching for your life purpose?

You are not alone! Everything is moving at a faster pace, some physicists even say that the earth is spinning just a bit faster as well. Look how far we have evolved, even in the last 50 years! We are now instantly globally connected at our fingertips. But that, as we know, has its downside.

I felt that same energetic pull to find my life purpose...and did so on a grand scale! (For those of you not aware of my story, I left a $90,000+ career to follow this spiritual healing path).

Such extremes may not be for everyone as it certainly has its struggles (I'm still paying off student loans for a career I'm no longer in). But let me shed some light on the term "life purpose:"

They say when your soul leaves your body, you do not recount your career ups and downs or the money you made (or lost) or the material things you've acquired. What you remember is those you've loved and those who have loved you. If you focus your energy on connecting with love- to your family, co-workers, friends and yes, even to strangers and your enemies- you will be fulfilling your life purpose. For our purpose is to simply LOVE. It doesn't matter if you pick dandelions for a living, if you love everyone and everything you touch, your purpose is fulfilled.

So, yes, if changing careers will allow you to share an inner love that you currently cannot express, then by all means, take a hard look at a change. But if you just feel the need to be more connected, to leave a mark, so to say, then all you need to do is simply navigate your day in love.

The Law of Attraction will automatically bring that love back to you tenfold, and THAT is fulfillment of your life purpose!

The idea of connecting with a medium scares a lot of people...and with some of the stories and horror movies circulating....I don't blame you! But I'm here to offer some of the truths that I have discovered as I connect with those that have crossed nearly every day.

• Our loved ones WANT to assist in your struggles and take part in your joys. They are just a thought away, so include them in your conversations.
• When they do visit you (sometimes in dreams, other times simply by being present), they do not remain "trapped" here. There is nothing you can do or say that will prevent them from enjoying their time on the other side.
• They also typically do not choose to experience another lifetime while they can still support those they love here on earth. So don't fear that you are preventing them from returning for another go-around.
• I have never connected with a loved one who is in "purgatory" or "hell." For me, these just don't exist. Take comfort in that. Don't be afraid that you will find out your loved one is in hell...they are always peacefully in their "heaven."
• All of our "teams" on the other side are happy to assist us in this most difficult lifetime. They want us to navigate with ease and love, and can support us in that journey. Grief weighs us down and prevents us from connecting with their loving energy.
• My personal gift does not include fortune-telling or ominous messages. Again, your team on the other side wants you to heal, feel their loving presence, and be assisted in your struggles. Delivering scary messages defeats this purpose and is something I just don't do.
• The archangels have blessed us with the gift of taking our souls prior to the seemingly endless suffering we endure at our deaths. So if you are afraid to find out that your loved one was in desperate pain, fear not! They exit their bodies prior to the pain of death and typically watch their bodies from above, safely wrapped in the love of their angels and departed family members.

The only thing you have to lose by connecting with your departed loved ones is the burden of sadness that you carry on your shoulders and in your heart. Isn't it time to release the grief and make the most of your time here on this beautiful planet?

Archangel blessings today from Sandalphon.
*Sandalphon is one of only two archangels to be incarnated here on earth (as the prophet Elijah) and then delivered to the angelic realm upon his death. He is able to connect us with our angelic teams easily because he fully understands the suffering (and joys!) we endure here on earth.

For the next couple of weeks, Venus will be shining brightly in the eastern sky just before sunrise. I witnessed it this morning, it was breathtaking! A little lower to the left is Jupiter, also visible in that sky. It truly made me realize that we are just a tiny part of this big, wide universe.

But don't let our size fool you! Venus' light was so bright that it felt like a beacon shining down on Earth. It was as if a thousand brilliant ideas were waiting to be illuminated by its light...and I'm here to tell you that you probably hold some of those brilliant ideas! Never dismiss your inspirational thoughts as insignificant or unworthy. Some of our best inventions were manifested through one simple thought.

Do you, right now, have an answer to a problem, but just haven't acted on it? Do you feel the desire to offer a creative insight at work? Now's the time! Venus represents love, beauty and gentleness- and if you act with these as your guide, you can't go wrong. Remember, love is the highest vibrating energy, and when you act in love, you raise everyone (and everything) up around you just a little bit. It may push you past your comfort zone, but as Dr. Wayne Dyer has shared, "You will never regret what you do in life, you will only regret what you don't do."

Life is short...can you shift your world for the positive with your brilliant idea just a little bit today? Don't underestimate yourself. Give it a try.

Archangel blessings today from Uriel.

It's been said that we are our own worst critic, and it's true. Take a moment to think about how often you chastise yourself: "I shouldn't have said that," "Why can't I be more patient with my kids?" "I'll never have the confidence to speak up in that meeting," "I'm just too nice...."

As a card-carrying Aries (known for carving out the path and forging ahead whether or not anyone is following or listening while simultaneously speaking their mind), I've done my share of self-criticizing. Years of it. My work with Spirit has led me to some serious soul-searching and has made me realize something most of us lack: patience with ourselves. 

It's time to recognize your perfection! We are all made in the image of our Creator; no one's "spark" is any brighter than anyone else's. Therefore, we are all magnificent, wise, and powerful. Now, can we hone those "flaws" so they are more palatable to those we love? Absolutely. Can we shift the flaws into gifts? Most definitely. If your gift is speaking assertively (and you chastise yourself for constantly putting your foot in your mouth), by all means, speak assertively! The trick is to speak from a place of love and not from a place of fear or anger. That's when your messages will be most well-received. If your gift is the ability to multi-task quickly and efficiently with little wasted time (read: impatience), then do so from a place of love, not a place of fear or stress over unfinished business. The tasks will always remain! But the love you demonstrate while doing so will be what is remembered.

When your perceived flaws (assertiveness, impatience, or gentleness) lead to success, we inspire others. Take the time to soul-search and use these perceived shortcomings for the purpose of lifting up those around you. The angels will quickly deliver blessings to you when you acknowledge your magnificence!

Most of all, have patience with your faults. They can truly be your greatest gifts. 

Blessings today from Archangel Michael.
