I have always been fascinated by accounts people have of touching the supernatural. From meetings with angels to other messengers, I love to hear how people connect in the various ways.

In my 20s, I began to wake early in the morning and write for the angels. I wrote letters of hope to those who were facing despair. Mostly these letters went to my brother-in-law at the time, sometimes I had ideas to help people I knew of but didn’t know. Each morning was like a new present to unwrap.

I have seen how creative the angelic kingdom can be… and how earthly angels also can be sent when we need each other.

Since I have watched, researched and seen so many accounts of angels and angelic communication, I was surprised to see a new series that touched me so deeply. Country Music Television’s (CMT) new series, Angels Among Us is one of the best I’ve seen. The storytelling and editing make this series amazing. What I love most, though, is that the series shares the many ways that the angels and other messengers make contact with us. I believe it can help people to listen to their guidance… and those guiding us each and every day.

I can’t imagine a life without connection with Divine… and this series shares how precious each life is. The show also shares that we must always remember to ask for help…as there are messengers just waiting to help.

Today is Self Love Day. And, boy has it been a long road for me to come to know Self Love for myself.

Back in 2007, my radio show was new. I followed guidance to create the show and felt like I had no idea why.

I invited a woman to be on my show and it seemed like no matter what we did, it just was not destined to be. At the time, I had an actual producer who worked the recording of my show. He had no idea why the show did not record. There was literally no reason for an technical malfunction.

To me, it seemed that working to accommodate this woman’s schedule was a lot of effort. It felt hard. It felt forced. Yet there I was trying to do it. The first show didn’t record, but I plunged ahead.

The day we planned to pre-record the show, I juggled many responsibilities. My mother-in-law needed a ride to the hospital and I was the only one available that day. I figured if I could drive just a little faster and still get her to the hospital and get back for the show, despite not having one second to be delayed.

What happened that morning would change my life. It was the day I decided I had had enough.

That morning, I packed Chance and my mother-in-law into the car. I planned to speed. I planned to push the limits of my time that morning. I did not ask for help. I thought I can do this.

But something didn’t feel right that morning, and it set me on edge. I have sped before, but this tension had my intuition on high alert. I pushed the Tahoe to go faster as my heart pounded underneath. I began to think about jeopardizing our safety. Pound…pound…pound my heart thumped.

We made it to my brother-in-law’s house. He said he would come home and stay with my mother-in-law at the hospital. I dropped her off and peeled out of the driveway. I had exactly enough time to get home.

Meanwhile my heart is pounding out of my chest. Something was not right, but what? I didn’t ask to find out, I just soldiered on to meet the responsibilities of the day.

I knew I was going to be two minutes late when I entered our neighborhood. I dialed my producer to let him know and that is when I found out what I was picking up on. I had bumbled the pre-record time. We were not supposed to record at the top of the hour like my regular show, we were supposed to start at a quarter til the hour! My intuition had been firing on all cylinders, but my mind was on a charted course already.

A flood of emotions invaded my body. First, I felt bad for messing up the time. This woman who seemingly had no time for this show and whose schedule was inconceivably difficult to accommodate had shown up and I was not there. If I have never been anything else, I have usually been responsible. I felt so guilty for leaving her and my producer hanging. Then I felt regret. Regret for putting Chance and my mother-in-law in harm’s way. That day, I did not even consider my own safety. I felt angry at myself for running around like a chicken with my head cut off to try to figure out some way to FORCE this interview that never did happen.

The truth of the situation was that the producer was fine. He was there anyway producing another show. No big deal.

The truth is that Chance and I did arrive home just fine, despite my own recklessness.

The truth is that the interview was never supposed to be. There were many, many signs to indicate this, but I just was not listening.

When I composed myself, I called the woman to apologize. I was ready to fall on my sword without one word of an excuse. I flubbed the time. That was that.

When I called, I was surprised at what I heard on the other end of the line. She said, “I have a message for you from your angels. Would you like to hear it?”

I said, “Yes, I would.”

She said, “They want me to tell you that you need to love yourself. You don’t love yourself enough.”

At that moment, every bit of anxiety, guilt, anger, irritation at myself bubbled up and I literally wanted to reach through the phone and strangle this divine messenger.

She continued, “I have been learning to love myself and now I am at 51%.” She babbled on and on about herself and all I could think is how much I hated this moment. I thought about how her schedule was all-consuming in trying to connect and how I had bended, given and given to try to accommodate her. I felt enraged as she babbled on about her own journey without even considering what it had taken to schedule the first show, then schedule another one – all around her time. Love herself, yes, she was definitely doing that and not inconveniencing herself or her schedule.

“Pay her for your gift,” interrupted my loathing and contempt. The voice was firm and loving and I recognized my own spirit guide.

‘Fine. I will, but I am done with this pretzel making routine,’ I said in my thoughts as she continued to pat herself on the back.

I sent her $100 for her message to me that day. She was astonished at the amount for the less than 10 minute conversation. To me, that felt an appropriate amount.

I had wanted to scream back, “I DO LOVE MYSELF!!!” My ego was ENRAGED at the gall of this intrusion into its idea of itself.

Then I considered the truth of the divine message. What does it mean to love myself? I had not been loving to myself when I drove like a maniac an hour and a half to try to get back on time. I did not love myself when I ignored every cell in my body that said, ‘Just cancel this, it’s not worth it.’ I did not love myself when I put my most valuable possessions, including my precious child, in harm’s way through recklessness. I flat out just didn’t love myself. I saw the truth that day…and like many other instances of truthtelling I’ve experienced, it wasn’t pretty.

The angels were right. And, regardless of the messenger, the message was received.

That was the beginning of starting to learn what self love is all about to me.

And, though I read this now and it may not sound funny, if you could hear me tell this story, you would be rolling on the floor laughing like a client was a couple of years ago when I shared this same message…It’s time to love yourself. And, I shared with her how I wanted to throttle the messenger who brought me the message! And how I was SURE I DID LOVE MYSELF, thank you very much!!!

Love isn’t easy though it should be. Once you unravel all that isn’t love, self love gets a whole lot easier.

Here’s to all of us on Self Love day!

Last night, I read several more pages of Robert Moss’s Conscious Dreaming. I have been reading a few pages each night (more or less) of this delicious book.

In the pages last night, he talked about psychic cords and how it is important to unplug from others. He talked about dreams being messengers that tell us that something is going on at a psychic level. If you find yourself dreaming of something that is trying to suck the life out of you – take note!

The holidays have a way of amplifying whatever we have going on – light and dark. One of the greatest lessons I believe we will ever learn is how to be One while still being ourselves. My show from November 18 gives specifics on how to address cutting psychic cords and other holiday tips for having fun with the family (and sometimes despite the family).

Last night, Mark woke in the middle of the night to find an apparition standing in our bedroom. Rico has been really spooked the last several weeks and though I didn’t notice anything (which isn’t surprising since I left the discarnate frequency behind years ago and only visit that level when duty calls), I figured it was probably a passing spirit.

Mark said that as soon as he woke, the spirit disappeared. Though it seems innocuous enough, I will be asking for some help from the Angelic realm for this! And, it reminded me to share with all of you. Just remember that during the holidays with drinking and such…you can attract in all kinds of spiritual beings.

Be sure to ask for divine safety and ask Archangel Michael to watch over you as you travel about – local and far away – during the holiday! Always great to travel with the angels.

The ancient Angels Bridge leads across the Tiber River towards the St Angel Castle in Rome, Italy.

Late afternoon light on the angels bridge leading to angels castle, Rome Italy. The castle was an old fortress during the medieval times and was renamed angels castle after the Archangel Michael was seen on the top signaling the end of the plague in Rome.

Had to share this because I’ve seen it many times and every time it cracks me up.

In case you didn’t know…

Women are Angels

And when someone breaks our wings….
We simply continue to fly….

On a broomstick….

We are flexible like that.

Have to plug Annette’s Touch of Class site. If you haven’t heard of the mother-daughter team that is adorning celebs, then take your tootsie right on over there and take a gander at what those two have been up to.

LOVE their lines… Di-VINE!

Search by Virgins Saints and Angels on their site to find all the baubles. If you live in the Dallas-Ft. Worth Metroplex, then you can find them at Canton, too.

Is it time for an after Valentine gift for yourself?

Yesterday I spoke at a local entrepreneur’s gathering. When Mark and I walked in, I wasn’t sure we had the right place. There literally was no one in the restaurant except for the staff. The meeting organizer was not there, just us.

So, we sat down and started talking. Before we arrived, I was concerned. I didn’t know exactly what to expect. I wanted to do my best, but had not heard back from the meeting organizer. Mark told me it would be great.

And it was.

A few minutes later, two women walked in. Followed by another. Then a gentleman. Our party was complete save for the meeting organizer. As veteran business people, we started networking, sharing tips and info. What lovely group of people!

Shortly, our meeting organizers walked in and we got under way.

My topic was about going bigger, going bolder for the rest of 2009. Join us at www.rapidsuccesspartners.com – look for the experiment.

Anyway… we had a lively conversation with our intimate group. The organizer apologized for the small group… yet I didn’t care. I enjoyed the experience so very much. I shared from my heart the messages that I have to give. And I realized as I felt pulled to one of the women in particular that angels are always watching over us.

We only need to step…and step again…knowing that we are guided in all things.

I’ll share more about the story as it unfolds.

When Mark and I left, I said to him… I just want people to know they aren’t alone. That they can do anything and they don’t have to do it alone. I just want them to know that God answers ALL prayers and that divine support is a whisper away. I hope you know that and that you talk with your divine team today.

Did you know that Prince, or the artist formerly known as Prince, or whatever his name is now was healed by an angel when he was little?

Yes, it is true! He shared this little tid bit on an Entertainment Tonight broadcast last week. He said that he had seizures when he was little and one day he woke up and told his mother he was not going to be sick anymore. When his mother asked him how he knew, he said that an angel told him.

Isn’t that a wonderful story? I love that, and I know there are so many more out there like it. My own experience with Jesus and an angel when I was three has sustained me through so many things. My wish would be that everyone would have an angelic encounter to know that these divine beings truly are real!

I received a call a couple of weeks ago from a business colleague who wanted to ‘access’ the angels. While I definitely subscribe to the idea of going to God first and then working with whichever messenger is sent, there are many, many Divine helpers who can lighten our load along the way.

Angels are wonderful assistants and traveling companions. Here’s a simple way to invoke an angel if you are calling a specific angel for a specific reason…for instance, healing with Archangel Raphael.

1. Take a few deep breaths. Connect to your core space inside by focusing on the light within you behind your belly button area.

2. Then say the angel’s name in three syllables. For Raphael – RAW-FY-EL, for Ariel – AR-EE-EL, for example.

3. Then, from this connected space of being fully connected ask your questions or ask for help.

There are many, many ways to connect, and I encourage you to find YOUR way. The way that feels natural and most ‘like’ you. Learn your own way to connect with spirit.
