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. I love it when they do things like that because it means an influx of new, magical souls to our amazing community of students. They’re also offering up a ton of free stuff if you sign up.

What to Do When Your Guardian Angels Leave
One of the most heartbreaking things I hear from people is that they believe that their guardian angels have left them. I don’t hear it too often, but the people who I do hear it from are pretty certain their angels have abandoned them. I even had one woman tell me...
Let’s Make a Deal!
When I was growing up, the premier gameshow on television was “Let’s Make a Deal.” Prior to writing this message to you, I googled it and was rather surprised it’s still on the air. But if you’ve never heard of it, the show’s host creates deals with contestants chosen...
It Just Doesn’t Hurt Anymore
Today would’ve been my father’s 86th birthday. He only actually made it to 61 so he’s been gone quite a long while. This is not a topic I broach very often, but my father and I did not have a pleasant relationship. He was an angry and abusive man. The angry part he...
Ever Wonder Y Something Happens?
Sometimes it’s hard to know why something happens - or is happening - in our lives. Why do we feel off? Why didn’t things turn out the way we had envisioned? Or even why are people we love having such difficulties? I’ve been there. I once had a situation occur in my...
Reclaiming Home
Last weekend I was teaching at 1440 Multiversity. It was a blessed experience in that I had amazing students. So this first paragraph is a shout out to them. (Hey y’alls!) Later, I went for a planning meeting regarding the rest of 2019, 2020, and even into the first...
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.
