As I begin this journey anew. I take a look bak over my life, and wonder what is going on. I look at the good. I look at the bad. I look at how the bad, has affected the good. I look at how each has molded me into who I am.

Would I be who I am today without those events in my life? No.

I had taken all those bad things, and made them into something pretty damn good I thought to myself. I feel the wings of an old friend gentle touch me, reminding me of something, we are the creators of ourSelf.

During these bad times Uriel aids in transforming them into events that are life forming, in a positive manner.

I look back over these times, and I remember him. He is strength when we need it. he is 'our saving grace.' He is nearby when changes happen in our lives. he has always been there as my changes happened in my life, and still is.

Uriel reminds us of the love of the Divine, by whatever name you call it, but whatever path you follow. He does not care whether you be pagan, Xtian, muslim, or what, it is all the same, and he guides us to it.

When I look at these times past, and know that he was there to forewarn me of them, I also konw he will be ther in the future to do the same.

Uriel is the wind beneath our wings.

So take a moment let uriel breeze into your life. Let him blow the bad things away and transform them into something wonderful

As we open the windows of our houses to refresh our rooms, do so with your heart.

Let him use his flame to ignite the flame of the Divine love in your heart, as he so often has done for me.

As I walk along today I look about and notice a small book lying on a stone by the side of the path. i pick it up and take a seat where it had lain. I open the old, worn, leatherbound cover and find that it is a photo album. I look at the pictures that are before me, and I realize that these are people in my life, or rather peopel who had been in my life. it is as if, someone had taken the time to lovingly record all those who had been a part of my life, good and bad, to remind me of all thos e souls who I have crossed paths with, and have influenced who I have become.

Pictures of old friends from school. I wonder what has happened to alot of them? I do ont go to the reunions as I did not graduate, I got my GED as a couple of the people who influenced my life did so in a not so good way.

I see 'his' picture. It wells up emotions. Anger, hatered, no I canhonestly say I have let it go. The past is the past. I may have been hurt by this man, but as I sit and look at his picture, I realize without the damage he caused me then, I would not be as strong as I am now.


My Mom. I miss her so terrible, as I do others who have passed from this level, but they are still with me, anytime I need to know this.

My family.

All of you are there. they may not be pictures of exactly how you look, as I do not konw, but I can tell even if it is merely a name, just who each and everyone of you are.

My girlfirend who I am not nearly as close wtih as I once was, as she has new people in her life, and me, well I don't bother where I do not feel like I am wanted, although I know I am. I love her dearly and she the same, she just gets busy with life, so I let her be.

I realize that I am not alone on my stone, behind me stands Mihr angel of relationships. He reminds us of love in our lives. not physical love, but platonic, friendship love.

do you have someone who held a special place in your heart, but you have simply lost contact with, or just have strayed from a bit? he bids that we reform these bonds for they are very special parts of our lives. These people come into our lives, and we into theirs for reasons beyond our knowing. We all teach each other some great lesson in this round of the wheel.

I have been blessed to have each and everyone of you in my life because of Mihr, and I am thankful and grateful to him for that. I couldn't imagine my life without you. Especially you Celeste, (and you know whom you are).

Today Mihr wants us to take a moment and take out your picture album, even if it is only the one in your heart, and take a moment to cnnect with friends, and people who have been part of your life, good and bad.

Pick up the phone, give one of them a call, reconnect, because friends are one of the most impiortant things we have in our lives.

I thank Mihr for bringing each and everyone of you into my life!!!

I too walk with Angels every day. It is a most wonderful, peaceful, fulfilling journey.

I work Angel Divination and there are so many angels that guide me. My "gypsy name" is Lady Gazardiel.

Gazardiel is the Angel of new beginnings. She holds dominion over the rising sun and encourages awakening and enlightenment. She guides my third eye as I embrace the cards and make contact with the spiritual plane on your behalf.

Meditate on Gazardiel and say:

I am ready and prepared to receive the enlightenment that I have been praying for. I embrace new beginnings and I am cherished and esteemed as I greet the rising sun each day. Awaken my heart to the love that surrounds me and allow me to share that love with others.

This is a very powerful mediation, and Gazardiel always answers and guides you.

Many blessings,
DesertMist

Everything we do in life is a challenge. To get out of bed some days is just that as well.

To conquer our fears, to face the day, to start something anew.

All of this takes one thing, Courage. Cerviel stands at the ready to remind us that we have the courage to do anything. It was hewho stood beside Daniel as he fought the lion, who protected him, just as he will stand beside you during your life battles.

it doesn't have to be anything nearly as life threatening as what Daniel was facing, but even the smallest of battles can feel like facing a den of man eating lions.

As we step out in life, be it a drastic life change, or doing something new for the first time. Stepping outside our comfort zones, if you will. Cerviel will always be there, guiding us, aiding us, or just simply 'having our backs' so we do not fear what might sneak up behind us.

he also aids in in our juornies into the dark places of our souls, as we endeavour to shed light on those things which bring us fear, which we see as our own personal den of lions.

Know this, always, Cerviel is there for you, you are never alone in any situation where courage is needed. Simply ask him to be with you, and he shall. he shall shower you with the light, to brighten your darkest moments, and give you the courage to move forward in life.

In order for us to move forwward on our walk, we must often look back to see where it is we have traveld. In doing so we realize that we are nt moving as fast or as far as we can, becasue we are carrying a burden along with us.

Hurts caused us by others. Pains of past encounters. It may be pain we cause our Self by not loving our self for something we have done, some way we may look, or some way we think.

In order to let loose of these burdens and move forward freely Stamera stands by us to aide us in forgiving these people, even our self.

We cannot harbour these negative things in our lives and expect to move ahead with positiveness.

We can 'say' we forgive, but our heart knows.

You may say, but the hurt was too large, the wounds will never heal.
I am here to tell you, yes you can, and yes they will.

Stamera has proven that in my life.

I was a victim most al of my life at the hands of others, or in the actions of my self.

Them, I forgave. They do ont cause me pain and discomfort any longer. I shed no tears. I feel no fear. I resent them not, for it is thier problem, not mine any longer, for I coose for it not to be, just as you can. Let Stamera be your aide in leaving all this old baggage behind so you may move forward lighter and happier than you have ever before in your life.

The hardest part in any of this is forgiving your self.

Until you do though your burden may be lighter, but you will still carry extra bags.

One cannot love another until first they love themselves.

If we are fat, we must forgive our self for the piece of cake we just ate, and move on, trying harder next time.

If we are not a supermodel, we must not let that bring us down, we need not forgive our self for our looks, but mere for the way we see our self.

If you did bad in the past, forgive that person, because you are ont that person any longer, you have grown beyond them.

So much I do I feel bad for, my own self image issues.

I find Stamera stepping into my life to help me learn to forgive myself, so that I may love my Self.

Let Stamera teach you how to forgive as well. it will make your heart ten pounds lighter.

In our lives comes people who help us acheive a sense of balance. The person who encourages us to step out of our comfort zone, who challenges us to be braver than what we think we can be. the person who let's us show our vulnerabel side when life wants us to be cold and hard. The person who let's us be us, even if that means we aren't the social norm.

The angel Soqed Hozi guides these people into our lives to help acheive a sense of Divine balance. He brings these people into our lives to make us feel whole.

From each one of these people we learn a liitle bit more about just how grand of a soul we truly are. They teach us, just as we teach them.

Honor the balancing people in your lives, and let Soqed Hozi bring these people into your life to help you become a more balanced, whole you.

For each one of you I thank Soqed Hozi! For you do just all of this and more for me evey day I breahte, even if I am not within the castle I still feel your love and your support.

maybe I need to start taking my walks again, might help out with issues at the moment.

Why is it, we never follow our own advice?

Hi Novia,

You know, I was just thinking that myself.  Why is that??  Sometimes for me I think it is because my heart gets in the way.  Logically I know that I should do this, but then my heart kicks in and I let it flow on by, going with the moment and then when it comes up again.....again....and again, you begin to wonder why you are allowing the situation, how many times do I have to experience this before I 'get' it, you know?  I guess that eventually, we do what needs to be done, but how many times do you need to hit your head against the wall?  Interesting that I was looking to read an uplifting walk with you and your angels and you pose the exact same question that I have been pondering for a while now.

(bang) Kinda like this little guy?

I am so sorry Aleea!  

I'll work on getting my head off the wall and back up in the clouds!

Oh my gosh Novia...don't be sorry, I thought it was quite appropriate.  As per usual we seem to be in the same space.

It has been some time since my head has taken me for a walk, that it actually took me aback for a few moments. i realized once again, I had stumbled upon my path. I was walking my oh so familiar path, but somehow it seems strange to me. Like I am walking in a black and white movie, or am strolling along the pages of a book that has not yet had it's glorious colors added to it. i gaze arund in bewilderment, wondering what is going on. What has happened to my lovely beautiful wolrd? I cry, not in pain, but in the sorrow that is filling my heart. The beauty it is gone. Is this my doing? Is it because I have neglected it for so long? Because I have neglected my Self for so long that it is but a mere pencil drawing of what it once was?

It is then, thru tear filled eyes that I notice someone. he is sitting upon the ground, with a box of crayons, and a box of colored pencils. with grat love and attention to the tiniest detail he is coloring in a tiny plant. Greens, blues, yellows, and a hints of pink. witheach stroke, life fills it as it's colors are renewed.

I know him. I cannot remeber him. I have so lost my connection with my angelic friends. he merey laughs at me, tosses me a crayon and tells me to grab up a spot, have a seat, and get to coloring. I feel like  child!

Aha!! Jophiel!! It is not often that one of the greater powers stops in to visit me on my journeys. My world must truly be in shambles if he has stopped in. Jophiel aides us in times when we are troubled. times when we are lost. times when we need to find clarity in our lives. he reminds us of not only the outward beauty of life, but of the inner beauty that lives within each one of us. he aides us in our lifes battle, just as he aides the archangels in their battles. We are no less important than they, in his eyes.

I have been so confused, so lost i tell him. he just once again laughs at me, and tells me he kinda figured that out by the lack of color and beauty in my wolrd.

Stop, he reminds me, Smell the roses, but please, first make sure that they are beautiful, and only you can do that, as he had me my own, brand new shiny yellow box of crayons to color my world with!!!

He reminds me it is living IN our worlds that makes up our worlds. Find the joy, the happiness, our little spot in it, and color it wonderful!!!!

with this, he returns to his task of coloring his little plant in my world. making one beautiful spot for me, to remind me, that even the greatest of the angels are not beyond coloring in our worlds for us!  (flowers)  (art)

That, Novia, is one of the most beautiful things I have heard in a long time....which made me realize, b/c I'm not so happy with my "whereabouts" I'm just  "walking " I think I nee to do some coloring as well, and I think it may be time to reconnect with my angel as well....Funny, I pulled one Rune for myself yesterday, and it was the same as the day before, Ansuz, "signals, the messenger Rune" there are signs and messages for me that I need to look out for, Not wanting to take anything for granted right now, talking again with my angels certainly cant hurt!!!!THank you sweetie, time for a walk through the ANgel section here as well.

Color away Novia.... and thank you!

Lav (angel)

I shall Lav, and you are most welcome.

Grab up your box of colors and color away with me!
