Hi All,

Today, the angels talk about the recent earth changes and how they affect us personally in mind, body, and life. I'll share how I've been experiencing them and how we can navigate both the challenges and the blessings they bring.

Have a blessed & beautiful week :)

My dear friends, we love you so very much,

If you've been feeling sudden, unexpected, or rapid changes in your body, mind, or life, you are not alone. Your dear Mother Earth has been releasing tremendous amounts of pent-up pressure. Coincident with that, there has been a massive release of energy flowing through each and every one of you. You are not separate. You are part of her body, and as a cell in the body of this magnificent creation, many of you are feeling the changes within her as your own.

And while your Earth has no desire to hurt a single being on her surface, there are times when she—like you—must move and realign in order to maintain her well-being. Just as you might stretch or move in a certain way to fix an uncomfortable kink in your back, or to alleviate pain and tension in your neck, she, too, must realign from time to time. And just as you can displace many cells in your body when you release your pressures, so too her earthquakes and earth changes are not intended to harm anyone, but rather to restore her health and well-being so she can continue to support the greater good of all those who live upon her.

So many of you ask us, "Why? Why are so many people hurt or displaced by earth changes? How can lives be so suddenly disrupted? What about the innocent victims?" From your 3D perspective, these are perfectly reasonable and valid questions. But until you see through the eyes of the soul, it is difficult to imagine that any being might be drawn to experience such hardship, or even be drawn to leave the planet in such a dramatic and difficult way. Dear ones, there are as many reasons for being where one is at as there are souls—and moments of existence—upon your planet Earth.

Many who are involved in earth changes are evolved beings, there to help their spiritual family get through and learn from the experience. Some go through difficulty with a smile or with fortitude to inspire others. Some participate in these events to learn greater faith or to learn to receive help. Some are the earth angels who assist those in pain. Some are there to learn to let go of control. And some die in such experiences out of curiosity, or because they are tired of being on Earth, or because they want to inspire those around them to embark on a spiritual journey.

We could not possibly enumerate all the reasons a soul might choose the classroom or the forum of natural disasters, but we can tell you this: No matter where or in what situation you find yourself, your soul is reaching for greater love. Whether you are reaching to receive it, recognize it, embody it, or share it, every moment you are reaching toward love. Human life—no matter how long—is temporary, but love is permanent, eternal, and the only thing that will ever truly transform your reality.

Most of you have not been directly involved in these earth changes, but you have, nonetheless, been affected by them. On a purely human level, you may feel your heart swell with compassion and a desire to contribute what you can. Perhaps you were compelled to say a quiet prayer for those in the chaos, or a prayer of thanksgiving for your relatively peaceful life. Perhaps you released a complaint because, relatively speaking, your life is good.

On a deeper level, even if you were unaware of her changes at the 3D level, many of you feel her changes within you. You may have felt changes in your own body as she releases the pressure. You may have experienced a release of old thought patterns that no longer serve you. You may have had something come to the surface that surprised you, be it an illness or a memory. All these things are perfectly normal in the energetic world. When energy is released, the intensity of the new flow can push up against old blockages and reveal them, or cause you to move in new directions quite suddenly. Your body may feel its own pressures building, or it may more easily release them.

Imagine a gentle flow of water through a pipe that has some mud encrusted on its walls. It is likely that only a little of that hardened mud will flow out with the gentle stream. You might not even notice it. But if you aim a firehose through that same pipe, the rapid flow will likely loosen the caked-on mud within. Depending on how much has been stuck and how much is released, there might be temporary blockages, or the dirt might flow out in a sudden burst of energy. This is only an analogy, of course, but one that might help you understand why some of you are feeling what you are at this time.

So if you have discovered blockages you didn't know you had—pains, lumps, bumps, medical conditions, memories, thought patterns, etc.—be kind to yourself. Keep the love flowing through your body and mind as gently and kindly as possible. Move slowly and deliberately. Seek help in creating more ease in the body and a greater flow in your energy. For some of you this may mean walking or stretching gently. For others, you have your favorite chiropractors or energy workers. You can always sit with us, relax, breathe, and receive our assistance as well. The more you can create relaxation in your biology, the greater the ease with which your nerve signals, circulation, and lymphatic drainage will flow.

To create greater ease in your mind and emotions, seek to accept and be kind to yourself, no matter what you are feeling. Choose thoughts that feel spacious rather than constrictive. Choose to love, accept, and be kind to yourself no matter what you are feeling. Grant yourself grace.

To create greater ease in your life, notice where you are fighting yourself, pushing yourself, or simply not allowing love to flow. Choose kinder, more heart-centered actions, or at least more loving thoughts about what you must do. Think of the stuck spots in your life and how you might create greater flow. Do you have a hard time choosing an outfit in the morning? Set one out the night before. Does a messy drawer bother you every day? Take time to organize it. Do you put off tough conversations because you dread them? Move forward and have them sooner. Or conversely, are you pushing yourself without mercy? Remind yourself that most deadlines are self-imposed and that the whole universe is waiting to assist if you can calibrate your energy. Perhaps there is something you want to do but have put off. Take baby steps. Make time for small progress.

As you bring more love into any area of your life, you introduce more love into every area of your life. As you unblock a tight spot in the body, you will be releasing pent-up emotional energy as well. As you shift a stuck thought, you will be freeing up your physical body. You are whole, integrated beings, dear friends, and you are cells in the body of dear Mother Earth as well. As such, your freedom and ease become her freedom and ease. Her releases become your releases. You cannot separate yourselves, nor would you truly want to.

Take a breath now if you like. Take a moment to thank your dear Mother Earth for her love, for sustaining life, balancing ecosystems, and loving all of you without condition. And then take a breath and open to receive her love in return, for she feels you, she thanks you, and she loves you. Your flow is her flow, and her flow is yours.

Rather than fighting these powerful currents and all they reveal to you, our prayer is that you accept the gifts they bring, release the revealed blockages with grace, and enjoy the forward motion they permit, for you are all, truly, in this love together.

God Bless You! We love you so very much.

Hi Everyone,

I mentioned this a few weeks ago. I had a day when, mysteriously, every vertebra in my back seemed to be popping with every turn. I'd reach for a glass of water and feel my neck shift. I turned at the computer, and my lower back adjusted. I got up and mysteriously had sciatica for a few hours, then moved a certain way, and it disappeared. That was new. I've never felt such movement in my life. I had moments of energy rushing through me, then moments of feeling like I was baking in an oven as something burned off. And then the next day, the earthquakes shook South America, among other places, and it all made sense. Our Mother Earth was having her own chiropractic adjustments as well, and they were powerful. For the people on the fault lines, they were devastating.

It does make you wonder at times how we are so blessed to be stable and sleeping with a roof over our heads, while many are not. Over the years, I've had to slowly accept the angels' words that we are all where we need to be for what our soul wants to achieve in a given moment. Sometimes that feels wonderful. Other times, not wonderful at all. But I have experienced and heard enough stories to know that there is a silver lining to every dark cloud, no matter how impossible it might seem at the time.

In every case, I look back at my life and see how I've grown through the tough stuff. My worst relationships led to me learning the most about self-love. My scariest physical issues showed me where I was blocked and what was required to change. My financial dips led me to learn manifestation and faith, which now serve me daily. And the times when I've lost people I loved have convinced me beyond a shadow of a doubt that this work I do for others is very real, and that at the death of the body, the soul emerges into even greater love and has even more to offer us if we're open.

I'm not comparing myself to someone whose apartment has collapsed and crushed their entire life, someone whose existence was rocked by bombs, or many of you who have gone through unthinkable loss. There are always those going through far better, and always those going through far worse. It doesn't serve us to compare because we will inevitably find reasons to criticize ourselves. It does serve us to face our own feelings and challenges with love, grace, and faith, and to have compassion for others as they go through their own.

If you've felt off, tired, or experienced sudden physical or emotional changes, you truly are not alone. Over the past two weeks, many have come to me with intense situations, sudden revelations, new resolve, and all manner of other unexpected developments in life. And inevitably, these dear souls have found the inner wisdom to recognize what needs to change to create a kinder situation in their lives.

Here are a few tips to weather the intesity of the energy and the changes it can bring, with grace...

1.  Don't make it wrong.

Don't look for what you did "wrong." Don't beat yourself up. Refrain from being hard on yourself. Whatever is going on within you, trust it is simply the effect of strong energy pushing up against blockages or moving them through you. If you feel something coming up that is a "stuck spot," whether a physical condition, a life situation, a memory, or an emotion, do this simple exercise often.

Sit with your angels, breathe slowly, and attempt to relax. Imagine a very soft, gentle, and kind flow of energy moving through any stuck spots. If there's a condition in your body, imagine gentle, water-like energy moving through a hardened sponge until it softens. If there is a condition in your life, imagine the energy moving through you, inspiring new thoughts and ideas to deal with it. If there is a thought or a memory that has bothered you, imagine it as dense energy, and imagine a gentle stream carrying it away.

Use whatever visual or feeling metaphor works for you to imagine energy moving through your body, mind, emotions, and life. The actual symbolism matters far less than the intent to get things moving.

Or if you suddenly feel resolved to treat yourself better, do something you've wanted to do, or pull away from drama, don't make yourself wrong. There's never a need to feel guilty for doing something right for yourself.

2. Try to see everything as energy that is trying to move.

If you have a challenge with a coworker, think of the challenge as energy that wants to move. You may want them to change, but all you can do is change your own energy. Can you let the energy flow around their personality like water flowing around a boulder? Can you let them be the challenging soul that they are and find a way around them? Can you think a bit differently about the situation and make them less important in your own mind? Can you offer compassion? Any of those ways of getting the energy to move are more effective than "chewing on the problem."

Likewise, if you have a physical problem, see it as energy. Tight spots need more flow. Diseases or cancers need more light and love to dissipate them. Whatever is going on, imagine what it might look like as energy, and imagine a way you can use energy to create more flow in the area. I've been doing this with my spine lately. I sit or stand and imagine a nice flow of energy moving up my spine until it looks like a picture of a well-aligned spine that I found on the web. As I'm doing this, I feel things start to move back into place. It works!

3. Ride the waves

In the past four weeks, I've published four new coloring books under a pen name that I made up purely as a creative playground. I've worked full time, had more than my share of all-nighters, rebuilt 12 TB of data from a failed hard drive, and started planning for a family visit. I don't know how I get away with as little sleep as I do, but when the creative muse hits, I run with it, and when the desire to sleep hits, I leave everything as is and am out like a light. Riding the waves of inspiration and natural impulses allows us to live in a flow that sometimes seems impossible, but wonderful.

If you've suddenly become inspired to do something you've put off, hop on the wave and do it. If you're suddenly done putting up with something you've tolerated for years, make the changes. Don't wait on your impulses or inspirations. There will always be new impulses and new inspirations, but when you have one, that means the universe is telling you the timing is good and circumstances are ripe for change.

I love my gluten free pasta and I love summer veggie pastas salads with dijon dressing. He's a mediterranean inspired one. Think of it as a guideline and use whatever you have in the kitchen. Use the veggies raw or grill them. (I love grilled corn). Use up your leftovers!

Possible variations are below but really you can do whatever you want with the idea! It makes a meal for me and is a great summer barbecue side or potluck dish.

Enjoy!

Serves: 6–8

Ingredients

For the salad
• 12 oz gluten-free rotini or fusilli (corn/rice or chickpea pasta both work)
• 1½ cups cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 large cucumber, diced
• 1 yellow bell pepper, diced
• 1 zucchini, diced small (raw or lightly grilled)
• ½ small red onion, very thinly sliced
• 1 cup fresh corn kernels (raw if very sweet, or lightly grilled)
• ½ cup crumbled feta (optional but delicious)
• ½ cup kalamata olives, halved
• ¼ cup chopped fresh basil
• ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
• ¼ cup toasted pine nuts, sliced almonds, or pepitas for crunch

Dijon Herb Vinaigrette

• ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
• 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
• 1 small garlic clove, finely grated
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
• 1 tablespoon chopped basil
• 1 teaspoon chopped dill
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt
• Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Whisk everything together until smooth and emulsified. This can be made up to five days in advance and keeps wel lin the fridge. In fact the more time it has the better the flavors mesh. I've kept it much longer than recommended!

Instructions

Cook the pasta in well-salted water until just al dente. Gluten-free pasta softens quickly, so check it a minute before the package suggests.

Drain and rinse briefly under cool water to stop the cooking.

Toss the warm pasta with 2–3 tablespoons of the dressing. This helps it absorb flavor.

Let the pasta cool for about 10 minutes.

Add all the vegetables, herbs, feta, olives, and nuts.

Pour over the remaining dressing and toss gently.

Let the salad rest for 20–30 minutes before serving so the flavors meld.

Taste and finish with another squeeze of lemon, flaky salt, black pepper, and extra basil if needed.

Note - if you're making this ahead, toss with half the dressing and toss the last half in last minute. If you have stored it in the fridge overnight, leave time to come to room temp before serving.

Optional Add-Ins

• Grilled chicken
• White beans or chickpeas
• Avocado (add just before serving)
• Roasted asparagus
• Marinated artichoke hearts
• Sun-dried tomatoes
