Many of you know that I go on regular, early morning strolls. I call them “angel walks” and it’s how I try to start off my day on the right foot (no pun intended.) It’s also meant to be a way for me to count my blessings while also staying grounded. You see, I have a tendency to get overwhelmed when there are too many things happening at once. Most of the time the feeling of overwhelment (that’s a new word – I just made it up) goes away pretty quickly and I realize that my perception that I couldn’t handle all the balls I have in the air is just a moment of panic. Every once in a while though, the overwhelment is legit. This is when I have to do some work to balance the blessings.
I wish I could tell you that this is a simple process and is just a quick chat with the angels, but it’s sadly more complicated than that. The first thing I do is ask Archangel Michael to pop in and sever my energetic connections to fear, worry, and anxiety. I also ask that Michael block those connections from coming back throughout the day. Then I ask Archangel Chamuel (the eyes of God) to help me to see the situation clearly. I ask Jophiel (the beauty of God) to help me to see all my blessings for what they are: blessings! Joyful opportunities. The trap for me can be that I then circle back to thinking that I must say yes to every offering presented to me.
This is a type of scarcity mentality. The false illusion that one must grab every opportunity presented out of fear that those opportunities might dry up. As you may know, that is not something I believe in. So, then I just roll my eyes at myself. I might have to ask Archangel Michael to have another whack at me since I may have just undone what he just cleaned up for me.
Finally, I ask Archangels Gabriel and Uriel to provide me with creative, and brilliant epiphanies plus the motivation to bring them all to reality.
Some people say that if you love your work, then your work will be play. I don’t think I agree with that. I love my work. It makes me very, very happy! However, I think there is an important difference between joyful work and play. Balancing your blessings means leaving room for both.
Speaking of loving my work, I really do try to make learning fun. The good folks at Hay House have chosen to offer my Certified Angel Tarot Reader course at a whopping 60% off.

The Sprinter’s Spiritual Lesson
Looking back, I cannot recall a time where my life has been so much about learning about myself. Why don’t we do this when we’re young? It would save us so much time and trouble! We could make such better choices if we were just taught to “know thyself.” One of the...
Holding Hope Without Holding on Too Tight
I have a question for you. How does one balance holding hope in your heart without also creating a powerful attachment to the outcome? Seriously, I’m asking. To me, this is a spiritual highwire act. Hope and optimism are powerful manifestors. They bring our heart’s...
The Stuff That’s Hidden
I recently got back from a visit to the city I was born and raised in. My sister and her family still reside in Knoxville, Tennessee and I hadn’t been back there in years. But one of my nieces and my nephew have been “fruitful and multiplied” so I had three babies to...
The Unsuspecting Expert
I’ve been doing a lot of “nest feathering” in my little French cottage here in Colorado. That’s been a whole other kind of fascinating for me as I have been drawn to colors and textures and artsy things that frankly astonish me. My inner “introspection addict” is...
Life is Sooo Good
I talk to myself. I do it all the time. I’ve been working from home since 2001, so I had chalked it up to spending a lot of time in quiet spaces. But, I’m also starting to wonder if it’s more than that. That maybe… just maybe… sometimes me talking to myself is...
Oh Raleigh you are so right with this artical for me at present. I have overwhelmed myself with what I should have done, what I want to do. I love what I do & am so very grateful for all I have, but (huge implication) right now I’m overwhelmed, feeling like glass & will shatter at any moment. That said I will be speaking to my doctor later today, just need reassurance that it’s OK to feel this way at times & there is light at the end of this tunnel. Yes, I too go for walks in the morning, I like to think of it as a time when the world is new & everything is possible.
Thank you so much for listening.
Sending love, hope & joy.
