Today I decided to put a post up on Facebook reminding everyone angels are all around us. They are constantly giving us signs, some that are incredibly blatant, but we are so caught up in our daily life, we can sometimes miss them, or don't realise what they are.
As I was driving home after a healing session this afternoon, I was thinking about all the ways in which angels had let me know they were around.
If you don't know me very well, you probably wouldn't know that I am a 'challenge' to Spirit and Angels. I always like to be told three times before I take any notice and I'm the eternal skeptic, in spite of what I do for a living.
As I was driving along, I started to list the ways angels send signs. I began with cloud formations, sometimes in the form of feathers or angel wings. As I peered out the windscreen, I looked up and saw formations that, yes indeed, did look just like that.
I could hear voices singing in a beautiful and touching way, but my radio wasn't on. I remembered times I'd heard songs with the word 'angel' in them, or people talking to me about things that had nothing to do with angels, but they'd said the word. Two more ways we receive signs from them, I thought to myself.  I reached over to turn the radio on. The song that was playing was 'Stairway to Heaven'. I smiled to myself, saying out loud, 'Well, that's not really a song with 'angel' in the lyrics.' The announcer came on and said 'Well, that was Led Zeppelin, number ten on our top songs today. We'll be hearing the other nine songs soon, including one from The Angels!' I chuckled to myself, the angels were obviously going all out to remind me they were there. The next song that played began; 'Imagine there's no heaven..' By this time I was laughing out loud and letting them know I was getting the message.
My car filled with the most delicious and delicate scent. As I was relishing another sign, I was enveloped in a loving warmth, as if I was being hugged by angel wings. 'All I need now is for someone to play with my hair' I mused....and there it was!
Well, they convinced me! I knew I had to write a post, and also a blog about my amazing experience as I drove home today.
So, if any or all of these signs appear in your day, remember your angels are trying to get your attention. They want us to know that we are loved unconditionally and without judgement. We only have to ask and they will help us in any way they can. (unless we ask, they can't help - that's the way it works).
Some Angel Signs:
*Feathers laying in our path or appearing in the most obscure places.
*Cloud formations in the shapes of feathers or wings.
*Songs that we hear with the word 'angel' in them, (and now I can add 'heaven' to that).
*Singing that is beautiful and touches our heart, even though we are alone.
*Buzzing in our ears, especially our right ear.
*People mentioning the word 'angel' in conversation.
*A beautiful, delicate and sweet scent that surrounds us briefly.
*A feeling of loving warmth, or an angelic hug (warming our head and/or our shoulders)
*Movement in our hair as if we are being lovingly stroked or patted.
Now you've got the list, and this is only some of the signs they send us, you have no excuse not to notice and believe they are all around us. Remember to notice the signs and be grateful for the love and support they are sending our way.

The other day I decided to change my timeline in Facebook. I was under the impression that people weren't aware of all the 'things' I was able to do to help them connect with their inner wisdom. I listed all my 'labels' across the header. It looked pretty impressive, but it felt 'off'. I couldn't explain why it didn't feel as good as I thought it would. I removed it.
During the night I received a message or three. All of them said the same thing. 'We are more than what we do'. I was asked to think about this and consider how I would portray this to everyone. Argghh!
I started the picture with my labels and photo. Well, that was the easy part over and done with. Now I had to work out what it was I knew about myself, my truths. This was the most difficult part of the process! I couldn't understand why it was so hard to think about me in this way. We are all taught not to 'blow our own horn' as children, and this felt a lot like showing off. I began to think of all the parts of me I liked, and the ones that I didn't like to think about. It took me a long time to get past the first few easy words, like stubborn and compassionate. I asked friends and family for other words to describe the divine being that lived within me. Some of the words they chose surprised me, others were connected to my fear of believing I could actually be that! It has taken me about a week to finish this project, to know deep within my soul that each and every word applies to me. When I look at it now I notice there are many more words that describe me than there are 'labels'. The funny thing is that now I've finished it, I can think of other words I forgot. Seeing them in print has made me acknowledge all of who I am - the good, the bad and the amazing!
Creating this picture has helped me realise how much more there is to any of us. Some people only see one side of us, or several 'parts' of us that, all too often, we only allow them to see.
Today, I'd like you to look past your labels and think of all the words that apply to you as well. Ask for help from friends, family and workmates if you want. When you are done, look at yourself through new eyes, see you as everyone else sees you and know you are magnificent in every sense of the word. You are so much more than who you appear in the mirror or what you do. We all are!
This is such an empowering thing to do. Let's get to know ourselves better....and once we do, lets celebrate that awe-inspiring being within us!

Clients often ask me what they can expect to get out of a reading, what impact it will have on their personal lives, energy, relationships and the bigger picture of their purpose. I sometimes wonder how can I explain the result without sounding airy fairy or rambling on for hours? This week I was talking to someone who had a logical/analysical mindset, so I knew telling him that providing inspiration and validation raised his vibration, so he could manifest everything he desired wasn't going to sit well.
I started to create the above flowchart with this person in mind, but once it was finished I wanted to share it in my latest blog.
A reading has far-reaching effects. It can help you remember who you are, clear any self-made or imposed blockages and it can help you remember you are never alone. If you are stressing about a certain situation or decision and you need validation, a reading can help with that too. When you are feeling undermined by someone or something, and you're not sure if it's just the thoughts racing around in your head, your guides and spirit family will probably be sure to make an appearance and offer advice.
A reading done with integrity and love will encourage you to be self-empowered. It won't make you dependent on the Reader, it will merely offer inspiration and insight. As a free spirit, only you decide whether to take any notice.
The most important thing I like to see as a result of a reading is that my clients identify with what they are given, and then take the steps to acknowledging the divine and magnificent being they are!
We are all amzing, awe-inspiring and perfect...we just sometimes get lost and forget this, our fundamental truth!
