Some Angel Reads...

Been enjoying my new home here in St. Augustine for several years now!  Love this historical city, love living downtown, meeting so many nice people here and down the Coast!   I'm so grateful that my Angels led me to such a beautiful place to call home! :-)

So on to some great Angel reads... One of the best Angel reads (in my opinion) is Doreen Virtue's "Angels 101" ... that helps you to connect, work, and heal with the Angels.  
This enables and encourages you to focus on attracting your Angels, identifying them, asking them for help with ANYTHING -- even help finding a lost item, when looking for a close parking spot... or help out of a jam!  I've done this many times myself, and am grateful for their guidance!  They're here for us... they're here for YOU.  :-)

As you know, Doreen Virtue is highly connected to the Angels and enlightens us all with her clairvoyant experiences and working with the angelic and ascended master realms.   I've seen her several times at the "I Can Do It! Seminars"!  WOW! How exciting, huh? :-)  

I've read MANY of Doreen's books, and there are so many that provide guidance.  This particular book is helpful if you want to connect & heal with the Angels.

I picked up another book the other day at one of the area libraries. I'm not used to being in a city that has at least 7 libraries! After living in the Keys and having one or two libraries that were about 25 miles apart... having a # of libraries within driving distance in any direction is fabulous!! Anyway, one library was having a sale on some books - $2.00 -- an Angel book popped out, looking for me... "A Book of Angels" " by Sophy Burnham;
Reflections on Angels Past and Present and How They Touch Our Lives.

Sophy was touched by spirits and Angels at an early age as well, and has written a book to share her experiences. I very much enjoyed reading this book as it introduced me to the various levels of Angels and also gave an enjoyable historical view of Angels through the Ages and in different cultures.  I really enjoyed the ancient artwork as well!

Another Angel Read that I'll be reading shortly is "Angel Power" by Janice T Connell.  This is a beautiful introduction to the invisible heavenly host and the immense power of the Nine Choirs of Angels.  I'll give an update on this book as soon as I'm thru reading it. 

I've provided links to Amazon for all the Books above, so you can add to your own Angel library!  :-)

A Wonderful New Life...

It's been quite a busy & ever-changing year... one of many transitions! Am hoping to settle down now here in my new home in Saint Augustine, a wonderfully old & historic city... the first city here in America! Did you know that? I've enjoyed discovering this city since I got here in the early Fall... so many wonderful museums to discover with some incredible treasures, historical forts, archaeological digs, quaint shops, wonderful chocolate shops, just so much to do & see!

I've been interested in visiting The Old Jail which I've been told has a strong ghostly presence... would like to see if I sense any spirits there... :-) I've visited the Tolomato cemetary on Cordova Street... just down from the Old Drug Store, not allowed in but can view from the street... and DID see quite a few entities throughout the cemetary... a lot of children, boys, girls... maybe a few adults.

I've always wanted to go on a ghost tour to see if there really ARE spirits where they say they are... or perhaps it's just a "fun" attraction! '-)

I did just learn about a new metaphysical shop opening at the end of this month... rather curious as to where that'll be. Hope they have some crystals... and other interesting metaphysical items, such as cards & books, candles, etc.! I'll post it as soon as I find it!

Creating Quiet Spaces...

What a wonderful website found through the Daily Om! All kinds of spiritual gifts can be found here from chakra beeswax candles to meditative art & flags to Raku spirit rattles (at right)!!

This is a beautiful website for a vast selection of handcrafted metaphysical & spiritual art, meditation... it's a nice site to peruse when you're feeling quiet and want to explore a unique place!

Enjoy...

Patience, Strength, & Faith...

They carry us through just about anything! These three words are very powerful words... but they also allow one to develop more peace within the self. With just these three words, I know I can handle just about anything... and I have! Even through the worst of times... these three words have carried me through (along with a daily chakra cleansing) ... and the Universe DOES eventually provide whatever it is that we desire, and whatever it is that will help to carry us through whatever situation we are presently in.

Trust is also an important word. If we could just "trust" in the Universe to provide all our needs, we would all be a lot happier and free from spontaneous decisions, and anxiety. Trust can be a very difficult thing to overcome; it could take years and years of healing to trust & love again. Trust in the Universe to carry us through our situations, and trust in the people around us.

All of these words go hand-in-hand and help to mold the strongest individuals... I'm glad I'm one of them! :-D

The pineapple plantation...

Another experience I had was within the same area. There was a path in back of the house I lived in. A neighbor told me to follow the path because it led to an old pineapple plantation... which would have been fun to see! So, one day I set out down this path. My little kitty, Abby, was leading the way excitedly! I was o.k. until I came to one particular point, not far from my starting point. I stopped... looked around, and felt the energy was overly heavy... and I also got a very distinctive feeling to not go any further, to turn around & go home, that I didn't belong there, not at all!! :-/ And so I did... Abby wanted to go further, but I told her it was time to go back home! There was a dirty cap on a rock just ahead of me.

Another day several months' later I decided to explore down this path again and see if I could get any further than the 1st time. This time, when I got to the same place and stopped, I noticed a very old rusted bicycle sitting on the left, possibly from the 50's. I KNOW that bicycle wasn't there the first time... and the cap was missing on the rock. And I felt the exact same way AGAIN!! So, I turned my little body back around and returned to the house.

I don't care much for finding the pineapple plantation anymore... my safety is more important. But when YOUR inner voice tells you something... LISTEN!! It's for a reason!

Entity in my home...

For the last nine months, I lived in an area of the Keys that I never really liked in particular but something was calling me to live there for a short while. I felt this area to be "very heavy" energy-wise and could never really put my finger on why I felt this way. Someone explained to me that it might be because of the past, the Indian past. Maybe...

I moved into this home (a duplex) and first off, I seemed to be "confused" in the home. It was VERY heavy energy-wise and it was suggested that I clear it (do healings on it). I did healings every 3 weeks on the entire home, and my space in particular; and found it extremely helpful to clear the space with sage also. The latter seemed to work especially well. Although I did these healings, I don't feel as if I was ever able to successfully clear the home on my own. I also found it rather heavy in hallway (as did someone else), and weird things were always happening in one of the rooms off this hallway.

I've never ever had any experiences with an Entity (not that I can think of anyway). Pussy cats are really interesting... they pick up on things we humans may not be able to. I have an ability to "know & feel" things, but I can't exactly "see" things... if you know what I mean. One night I was looking at my cat, and she looked over my shoulder to the right of me, and her eyes got very big & wide... and she ran away from me! In my attempt to calm her, I asked if there was someone else in the room with us, & by the look in her eyes I could tell there was.

Within the month before my move, I had another Healer come to the home who could "see". She walked through the rooms, and in particular the hallway. When she was in the bathroom, there was someone in back of her. An Old Man. Apparently he did not die in the house, but he loved the house very much and was still attached to it. He couldn't leave because nobody would talk to him (me, I guess) and he was very "confused" as to what he should do, where he should go. This reminded me as to WHY I was so confused at times. So confused I had to leave the house to clear my own head! Anyway, she was able to "free" him... and send him on his way. And thereafter, the house was clear (of any entities)... ready for the next person or family to move into! :-)

I've never lived with an entity in my home before... it was rather interesting, the energies I felt, the pussy cats' reactions, and the sharing of confusion! My new home has been cleared ahead of time, and it WAS clear from the start! Just lots of love energy here! '-D

My Spiritual Power Animal...

For a while I've wondered what my power animal was... the first one I acquired was on a misc. website that declared it was a "Bull Shark"... that seemed rather strong for me and so I was determined to find out what it TRULY is. At a recent "More Truth Will Set You Free" workshop with Elka Boren (a Shaman) we were all curious about our Power Animal... and when she told me mine, I was a little surprised... but then as I thought about it, not so much. Because as fate would have it... my Power Animal has been with me all through life (in beads, jewelry, history) and I've always had an interest in this animal.


So anyway... here's a description of this animal. Maybe you can guess what it is (Don't peek at the picture!!)! :-D


She who seems to move as slowly as the earth itself, who travels its own path in its own time. One of the lessons is to slow down. She who lives a very long time and who has been on earth longer than any other vertebrate animal, has all the time in the world.


She carries its house on its back, and when it feels attacked it withdraws into its protective shell. This can remind us that we carry within ourselves our own protection. It is also a reminder of the importance of going within. We need to learn to withdraw not only when we feel threatened by the outside world, but in order to contemplate, to decide what our next direction will be.

Slow-moving, contemplative this animal can also be described as grounded. When we feel as if things are happening too fast, or as if there's too much to do, when we are great at starting projects and not so great at completing them, we can call on the energy of this animal.

To be grounded doesn't mean to be stuck in one place. She travels very close to the earth and is intimately connected with the currents of Mother Nature's energy. Because it moves so slowly it has the time to appreciate all of her creations.

So can we when we take the time that is always there, when we move more slowly along our own paths and enjoy the journey.

Have any idea now? It's:



What's your Power Animal?
