Dear Angels,
"I have recently been seeing a man I knew in college who lost his wife in July, 2009. Is there a future for us?"  Julie, Houston, TX

Hi Julie,
Your bereaved friend, Brian, may very well be a great guy for you, but you will need to be patient. He is doing his best to get back into life, but his wife was special for him.  She had a natural balance that enabled him to feel comfortable. They were a good match in many ways.

In one sense this bodes well for another relationship, which he wants.  On the other hand, he is still in the throes of grieving.  He's locked in the past trauma and a little afraid to love again.  The good news is, he sees you as an exceptional woman whom he could grow with.  But, no matter what he says, he is not ready to fall in love today.

Is there hope for the future for the two of you?  Yes, but if he has a child, it can be that the child acts out as a way to find his balance.  You can handle it but you will need to think of what really matters for you.  If you want a traditional marriage with material abundance, Brian seems to know how to create it.  What may be missing is his heart commitment. He seems to be more the guy who uses his brain to form his world.

It appears as if Brian is wife hunting, so if he appeals to you with his lifestyle and command of the world, then he will be a good match for you. If you are someone who wants to exert your independence and make your own way, you might look carefully. Brian seems to like to have things "under control."  He will probably remarry sooner rather than later.
 
 

Dear Angels,
"I live in Thailand. My husband died 3 years ago and I'm very lonely.  I want to move back to South Africa to be with my family. Do you think the angels will help me get there and start a new life?  I just feel that nothing seems to be moving forward."  Sonia, Thailand

Dear Sonia,
You do seem to be unable to take action on your own.  You keep tripping on your own emotional stuff and then wondering why you unable to create the life you deserve.  I am sorry that you are having such a tough time, but your Angels are saying clearly, that is it time for you to let go. It is time for you to pick yourself up and begin living your life for you.

By holding on so tightly to your past and your deceased husband, you are living in the past while resisting your future.  That situation leads to an impasse. Quantum Physics indicates that there is no past, no future, only the present. 

Your Angels are showing me that you are a spiritual lady, but your challenge is to allow yourself to be guided without trying to control.  In other words, it is learning to trust in the Unseen and allowing yourself to move into the next stage of your life.  Why just exist when you can be alive and living each day as if it matters, because it does, and you do. 

It looks as if you have the money to move back home, but it can be that when you get there, it doesn't feel as good as you think it might.  Your challenge as well as for the rest of us, is to remember that wherever we go, we take ourselves with us. 

Since you seem so uncertain, a better plan might be to reinvent yourself in Thailand and then let yourself move. Or if you are unable to deal with that, then allow yourself to move. but make a choice today to live your life "as if" you are happy.  That way, you will be able to pull yourself together into the spiritual and loving woman that you are underneath all of this uncertainty and fear.
 
 

Dear Angels,
"I'm trying to follow a path that leads to helping others. Am I on the right path (mostly career choice) right now, and will this lead to my goals?"  Trevor, Orlando, FL

Dear Trevor,
You seem to be at a crossroads of sorts.  You are leaving behind your old way of living and beginning a new path.  It appears as if you had to do some serious soul searching to get here because you are going "against the grain" of a traditional career path.

Now your challenge is to commit, if this is what you really want to do. Think of what you are planning to study as a jumping off point, because that is the way life is.  We are taught that if we go to school and study hard, that success will follow. Everything in life is variable. Nothing is lost. Sometimes we study one thing because we are interested, and not use it, officially, for years; but our course of study might very well be useful years later in something we never thought about when we were younger.

Think of yourself as a complex puzzle.  A little here. A little there.  One day it will all come together, but not necessarily in the way you can anticipate today.  Watch for yourself your fear that you will not make enough money. We are all changing our lives. Our thoughts count. Going a non-traditional path can be fabulous.  At the same time, holding fear that you won't be paid as much as you desire, will draw that energy to you.  Believe in what you are doing, release your fear as it comes up, and expect the best.

Can you succeed with your plan? Yes.

Dear Angels,
"I entered my book for the next top spiritual author competition.  Was it a good thing to do? I want to know what the angels have to say - was it a worthy thing to do?  Do they have a message for me about this competition?"  Martha, E. Grinstead, UK

Dear Martha,
Are you kidding me?  I am filled with goosebumps! This is my "scientific" affirmation that you are on the right path.  Now I feel a little giddy. There are kudos all around for you.   Whether you win or not, I'm not quite sure, but it looks good. Your Angels are celebrating, not how your book will be received, but your writing of it. They are also telling me that you have something important to say and it will be heard by many.

It appears as if you unleashed some of your old painful story from the depths of your gut while channeling the wisdom that comes through you.  Now you are determined to do what it takes to get your book read so you can help others.  You've been holding a lot of past life wisdom that didn't come from being treated like a princess.

Your challenge with your book, is to maintain your determination to have it well-received and appreciated, and to know that what you have to say is powerful and appropriate for revealing today.
In no uncertain terms your Angels share that it is your gift to share your power and your healing knowledge.  They are saying to hold the picture of your book's success, hold that dream as if it has already happened, because it has.  You are the healer you want to be.  Success is yours, win or lose.  You've already won. The competition is over.  You, as you are today, are the accomplishment.

Dear Angels,
"I'm in school at the moment and I was wondering if I'm on the right career path?"
 Sylvia, Ontario, Canada

Dear Sylvia,
You seem to be following the path of someone else, like your parents?  What your Angels want to say, however, is that you are fine. You are recovering from an emotional breakup with a boyfriend that has led you into feeling uncertain about yourself, who you are, and what you want from your life. 

It appears as if both your Mother and Father are highly intelligent people who wield their control in your life, leaving you feeling unsure of your own abilities and capabilities.  If you feel like you have ground to a halt in your own willingness to study hard and succeed in your education, this is simply what is happening for you astrologically.  Release your resistance, and you will again move in the flow of life.

Your Angels also suggest you look within you. Notice what you, personally, are interested in. Pay attention to if there are jobs that pay in the field that you are drawn to.  Then you can weigh what your parents tell you and what it is you think you want to do with your life.

FYI, dear Sylvia, change does not always occur just in your youth.  Change is part of life.
I once attended a workshop where the leader asked for a show of hands as to who was working in the field they studied when they were in college?  With over a hundred in the room, maybe five raised their hand.
 
 

Dear Angels,
"Will I ever get married and when will I meet him?"  Kimberley, Derry, Ireland

Hi Kimberley,
Your Angels are showing me that you have a perfectly nice guy in your life.  Your challenge is your judgment.  You like to be the one in control, you like things your own way, and don't we all? However, you are at a turning point. Notice if you feel like you are finished with Mr. Nice-Guy,  but are afraid to let go?

Your challenge is to realize you are nowhere. You are not happy.  This is not what you want, and you are not willing to see things differently.  Your Angels want to say that the tendency of humankind is to project our personal dissatisfaction onto those we are in closest contact with. "If only he could be like this...Why won't he see that my way is better?...Why must he...?"

Without letting go of what you have, there is no room to create a space for someone new.  And, of course, we take ourselves with us wherever we go.  As you begin to accept that your upbringing has left you on unsteady ground, and that you feel the necessity to create a structure that makes you feel safe, you will begin to heal.

You have already drawn a nice man into your life. Unfortunately, you feel as if he is not "the one" for you.  Once you work on your inner self that is still discounting your abilities and gifts, you will attract a kinder, more interesting relationship.  You will be able to let things flow as opposed to trying to cram what happens into a set box. You will realize that he, whomever "he" is, offers a different outlook on the world and it is just as valid as yours.

Do I know how to do this for myself?  Are you kidding?  I'm working on it all myself.  This is straight from the angelic realm, where  The "Father Knows Best."
 
 



Dear Readers,
Many of you want to know "Who is the love of my life?  Or today I received an email asking,"When will I die?  and How?" And now just another, "When will I meet my life mate?"

The Angels offer their wisdom from a higher level of consciousness than what we can muster in our third dimension.  The Angels are not fortune tellers and neither am I.  They are here to assist you in life, to point you onto the high road spiritually, to give you insight onto a path you might not have noticed on your own.

In reality, there is no time.  Everything runs concurrently; i.e., in the present. Therefore, time is not predictable, although I have been with fortune tellers who do predict.  My answer to a time question is it depends on how you think and act, how you live your life. I can answer a time question within six months, but longer than that there are way too many variables, not the least of which is your behavior.

Your life depends on what you are willing to create.  You choose your life path. You are not a marionette with no control, although it may feel like that.

Your Angels are here to act as your guide, not to tell you what to do. You are much more powerful than you believe.
 
 
 

Dear Angels,
"I've been in deep thought over a situation with Chuck. What do you see in this situation and what do you believe the outcome will be?"  Lorraine, Nashville, TN

Dear Lorraine,
Here's how this situation between you and Chuck looks. Initially you thought you both had a different approach to the world, or maybe just different professions, but you felt completely connected to him. As if he had your back.  Your basic tenets for life appeared to be similar, so much so that you felt supported. 

Unfortunately, something has happened where no matter what you do this relationship doesn't work. You seem to feel like it's all too much work, you've somehow lost that connection that bound you initially where you felt you could trust him no matter what, and now you're just hanging out, watchful.

This man, who appeared to be an answer to a prayer, is not the man you thought he was. He is either holding onto his money for dear life or his old way of being.  Whatever you thought you had, you don't.  These ongoing issues are beginning to be more trouble than they are worth.
 
 

Dear Angels,
"John and I had so much in common with a strong intellectual, emotional, and spiritual connection. Will we reconnect again? I had to distance myself because I was not able to handle certain occurrences at the time. I feel his presence strongly at times as if he misses our friendship as much as I do. Will we be able to reconnect in the future without interference from others?" 
Rosalie, Galveston, TX

Dear Rosalie,
Your hopes have been smashed yet you seem to be having trouble releasing this relationship. Your feelings are preventing you from moving on.  It is time for you to think positively about your future and to attract someone new, but you are holding on to the past.  You seem to be allowing your anger at this unfilled relationship to block you from creating someone new, leading you into a depressed state of mind.

Your old friend, John, couldn't move on either, but now is feeling hopeful and ready to shift into a new relationship. He realizes that although you had much in common, there were certain personality differences that just didn't work between you.
 
 

Dear Angels,
"Will Kim ever come to me and be my best friend again?  And will we ever date or be together?"
Ed, Santa Fe, NM

Dear Ed,
It's obvious you would like to make something happen between you and Kim pronto, but when you think about it, do you realize that this was not a great relationship to begin with and now there is really not much hope?  You're definitely having trouble letting go. Maybe you're playing Monday morning quarterback thinking that you can create something more positive.

When I ask about Kim, there seems to be no willingness on her part to go around again. Whatever it is you two shared initially, is long since over on her part. Look to see if you were living in a haze of mind-numbing substances.  Yes or no, she is not interested.
