Dear Angels,
"Where can I go?  What can I do to find a job? I used to live in VA where I sold my own inspirational artwork and did custom framing. Here I have held various teaching jobs both part and full time. I think my strengths are in the art field, or else with children.

No job has even felt right.  I am now unemployed and without inspiration.  I would like to do something that aligns with my life purpose and of course utilizes my talents and abilities.  I am open to something completely new. "  Catherine, Santa Fe, NM

Dear Catherine,
The malaise of feeling stuck with nothing moving is in the air. It's what I call the pre-enlightenment energy. 'I've done all this work on myself, so why am I here of all places?"   Your Angels find this amusing.  The word is to do your best, stay put or move on, but don't push yourself.  As with all things, one of these days, the fog will clear and you will know what is right, which path to take, and which action is forward.  Today is not the day yet.

What I see about you is you are a spiritual dynamo.  You are a bright light in the fog of life, but today, you need to shine your light on yourself.  You're feeling sad, maybe even a little depressed and you're afraid to begin anything for fear of making the wrong decision.  "Again," your mind says.

You're concerned that you, Miss Invincibility, is losing her passion.  Not only that, but it's so unfair.  The challenge is to know that you are a master of balance, in spite of appearances to the contrary today.  Perhaps you are being offered the opportunity to balance your work life with your play life, your mind and your heart.  You are an exceptional person.  The trick now is to allow yourself to trust that who you are and how you live your life, will come back into harmony.  Do your best not to resist this quiet space.  Do anything with kids and art that comes your way to feed and house yourself. Be open with all your intuitive sensibilities, to accepting where you are today, while opening to something more exciting and fun for you.

Notice if it is possible that this is a time of the seesaw?  The time of trying out how it feels to live in someone else's shoes? This place of indecision, so difficult for us all, is the time where we learn to surrender our will and ask for guidance. Not from me, but rather the Source of All that Is.  It's the time when we learn who we really are underneath our education and good looks. 

As for today, have you tried putting a flier up to offer art classes for kids for the summer? Or a blog offering your services to tutor or teach the creative freedom of art to kids who are crammed into a tiny space and told this is their life?  You have an exuberance that wants to be shared that children as well as adults need to experience. 

Dear Angels,
"My ex-boyfriend's name is Art.  Will he be asking me back?"  Tracey, London, ENG

Dear Tracey,
Your Angels are showing me that you are not feeling like your normal, in control, self. You're okay but you would like to be able to change the course of events.

What Art is showing me is he felt intuitively, this was not going to work out, but he didn't listen to his gut.  He seems to have no interest in rekindling this relationship.  For him, he just wants to move on to find someone more compatible.

When I ask your Angels what do they have to say to you specifically, loud and clear they holler to move on.  Stop resisting this breakup.  Take your hopes and dreams and carry them with you into another more suitable relationship for you, one where you are respected and appreciated.

Dear Angels,
"I am in love with a man who truly loves me. Please let me know what kind of man is he?  Will he divorce his wife and marry me?  Will that be accepted in my house and in relatives' circle?  Will I ge peace of mind with this relationship?  What kind of lady is his wife?  Will he be supportive?  Will she divorce him without any problem?"  Jonnalagadda, India

Dear Jonnalagadda,
My lovely lady, this is a taste of a reading, not the whole thing.  I will be happy to answer these things for you with a detailed private reading.  As we stand, I will answer the first question and touch on the second.

Your sweetheart is what appears to be the perfect man.  He's got it all.  He sees you as an angel in his life, the temptress.  On the other hand, he has an accomplished and independent wife already, who seems to know how to take care of herself.  It is probable that she senses intuitively that he is no longer committed to her emotionally.

When I ask if he will divorce her, what I see is that he is very much a man of status and stature.  He has a hard won place in the world that he values.  If he divorces his wife, he will lose his money and in his mind, some of his status. 

I would like to tell you that he is throwing his life to the wind for you, but I don't see that. He is seeing himself splitting off from their friends and seeing you as holding on tightly to him, which stresses him. Unfortunately for you, his position in the world is what is most important to him, except when he is in bed with you. 

Dear Angels,
"Douglas and I lived together for one year at the end of our 5 year relationship.  He was the love of my life but an alcoholic. He did some cruel and hurtful things. In the past 8 years, I have pictured what it would be like to welcome him back into my life - if only without the torment of his alcoholism.
I was also far from perfect, being very emotional and hysterical when we were together.

Last week I googled him one last time and got his obituary.  He died suddenly in Feb.  I have never felt such regret. Does he still love me? Did he ever try to call?  I can't concentrate and keep sobbing for him.  I can't believe I screwed up so very badly.  He was the love of my life."  Liz, El Centro, CA

Dear Liz,
What your Angels are showing me is that you are living as if you had never split.  Somehow you are thinking that his alcoholic problems could magically disappear if you two were able to live together.  The opposite is probably true. If you had lived together longer, you would probably have no emotional baseline at all.

Alcoholism doesn't disappear just because you wish it.  The alcoholic and the codependent are two sides of the same emotional illness.  They feed on each other until one or the other is sick and hateful.  Abuse, which you already experienced, rules your life until one day you awake to find yourself a wisp of the woman you used to be. 

Douglas released you long ago knowing he was unable and unwilling to give up his addiction.  It is time to release your addiction to him if only to create a healthier life for you and your child.

Dear Angels,
"Is my best friend my soul mate?"  Nathalie, Oceanside, CA

Dear Nathalie,
Nathalie, you didn't mention your guy's first name, so I am assuming what I see is correct.  What I'm seeing is that you are doing your best to hang onto someone who is not interested in hanging on to you. I think this guy is perfectly capable of running his own life and succeeding without you supervising his life. He seems to feel as if you are trying to control him and he is no longer interested in you.  

Is it possible that he sees you holding tightly to him and a romance that is no longer?  Your Angels are showing me that your challenge is to let yourself have fun on your own  and be your exuberant self while you allow another, more spiritual a guy into your life. 

Is guy number one your soul mate? I don't see any evidence to suggest so.

Dear Angels,
"Just what do you see for me and is there anyone who needs to tell me something?"
Denise, San Diego, CA

Dear Denise,
Keeping in mind that I am not a fortune teller, what I'm seeing is you are a spiritual woman, compassionate and very sweet. You're someone that others like to be around because you know how to bend like the willow without giving so much the other person feels indebted. It looks as if you'd like to have a loving relationship where you felt like the two of you could communicate eye to eye, but the timing seems to be off.

Whatever it is that you are doing now does not seem to be working.  Your challenge is to get a job, figure out a way to make some money, or perhaps to move.  You seem to have tried everything but nothing has worked  financially to change your current situation.

Your Angels are showing me that your life feels like it has come to a halt.  The good news is this quiet time has been given to you as an opportunity to release your old anger and unfinished emotional business to clear your lower chakras.  You've simply been cleaning your emotional house to prepare for the higher vibrational energy that you intuitively know is yours.

It appears as if you are highly intuitive but can it be that you have not listened?  Either way, you are about to move into a new cycle which means that shortly, you will have the opportunity to create what you want. Hold your head high.  The standstill that you have become accustomed to is about to change.

As for if someone has something to say to you?  Probably, but this is a one question reading from the Angels, and they had quite a lot to share.

Dear Angels,
"I think I have a past life.   Can you help me?"  Amanda, Belmont, MS

Dear Amanda,
I'm not a past life expert, mostly because I believe in your ability to change your life today.  We have been raised to see ourselves living in a narrow little alleyway, when in fact the entire world is open for the asking.  Do I know how to do this personally?  I'm working on it, just like you.

What I see about you, Amanda, is you have a dream that you can hardly wait to begin.  What holds you back is your fear.  If that comes from a past life, it is time to realize that it is only your picture of what could go wrong, that prevents you from creating what can go right.  You are so ready.  You're like the kid on the high dive wanting to prove to herself and her friends that she can jump, but every time her toes come to the edge of the board, she backs down, trembling in fright. 

It is your gift to be the creative, entrepreneurial woman that you are trying to hide from yourself.  You have it all.  Those voices from your past are telling you to "sit down and shut up!"  Your Angels are saying that if you can take your internalized thoughts of not succeeding and put those aside, you can be wildly successful.

It's your choice. Remember that we never go "it" alone.  Ask for Guidance. Ask your Angels to walk with you.  This is not some airy-fairy thing that's like perfume, covering up a bad smell.  Guidance is real. Your beliefs control what happens in your life, past or future.  All you have is the present, today.  Believe today in your success, in your abilities.  Tomorrow you can start again if you think you flubbed up.  We are all so much more capable than we imagine.

For a moment imagine that you are now at the end of your life.  You never did do what you are dreaming of today.  Do you think you will be happy that you never trusted yourself enough to take a chance?  Hardly.  You'll be a little old lady wishing you had jumped because now it's too late.  You go girl!  Your Angels are behind you all the way.  And when you have a "bad" day, know it is part of the process of learning to see behind our limited beliefs in who we are.

Dear Angels,
"Can you clear this up for me please...are all the positive changes I was expecting like the car and the guy, by the end of this month and beginning of next still coming in for me even with the changes that happened recently?"  Ceci, Bradenton, FL

Dear Ceci,
Yes and no. Yes to the car, especially if you release your stranglehold over what you think you have to have.  Funny thing about asking for guidance. We ask and then we try to control the result, as if the Omnipresence doesn't know how to do it.  Un huh.  What I'm seeing is that you have to trust that you are being heard and let go of the reins on how to do it.  Expect. In the meantime, mention your desire to others and take action by talking to others, looking, and expecting your car (this or something better) will show up. 

As for the guy, it doesn't look good.  Today it appears that Mr. Wonderful is not so.  Perhaps he is standing back and judging you as being different from him in a way that doesn't please him.   Perhaps he sees you as not part of his group and so he's not treating you oh-so wonderfully now. Pay attention. If he's like this now, wait until you are just yourself someday, not gearing your moves to impress him.

It's time to realign yourself, knowing that the Universe helps us adjust by not giving us what we think we want. Sometimes what we think we want, turns out to be toxic. Ask any divorced person.

Dear Angels,
"Why do I not see the angels? What is blocking me?" Julia, Kuwait

Dear Julia,
Great question and thanks for asking.  I see that you are open to receiving guidance from your Angels. That's step one.  Being still and listening is step two. And trusting what you hear is step three.

Step three is your challenge.  FYI, I have been working on this daily since the early 90s.  That's almost 20 years.  You are definitely open and willing. What's in your way today is you are doubting yourself. It looks as if your repressed feelings of anger are coming up.  Your life is not moving forward the way you would like. Perhaps a relationship that you thought was going to be heaven has a lot more of the opposite than you anticipated. Your dream relationship has turned into a nightmare. This relationship has left you uncertain of yourself with the inability to own your own power. It's time to reclaim yourself.

Perhaps you are hearing and seeing what to do, but do not want to admit to yourself that what you hoped would be wonderful, has gone sour; or as we say in the States, it's gone south. 

Your Angels are showing me you connect with them just fine. You just don't like what you see or hear. If you can stop second-guessing yourself, you already know the answers.

Dear Angels,
"I am getting out of a bad marriage in which I made it all work.  An old flame has contacted me claiming he still loves me.  While this is very nice to hear, I am very leery and vulnerable.  Is it true and what should I do?  I really don't want to be hurt."  Janice, Detroit, MI

Dear Janice,
You have every reason to be cautious. You are already vulnerable as you said, and haven't healed from your marriage.  There's a warning in AA that says something about not dating for a year. And another warning which used to run around with the rest of us divorcing folks, which says it takes a minimum of two years before you have pulled yourself together again to remarry.

Since it doesn't look like you are in AA, I guess you're safe to do what you want.  You seem to be learning to stand on your own.  You are just tasting your hard-won freedom.  Still, your Angels are showing me that you are like an 18 year old who's not so sure of herself. She knows she's an interesting commodity, but isn't sure what to do with herself and how to act.  Intuitively, your Angels are showing you that you may be free soon, but you are afraid to step out and rightly so. 

Of course you can do what you choose. The fact that you are asking and I am seeing that you are fearful of this connection with your ex-boyfriend, says to me that you want to listen to what your gut is telling you.  If you want to date this guy, then go ahead.  If you think you will have no control  and end up remarried without dating now that you are an adult, then you might think again.

It is wise to experience life as an adult before we lose ourselves in another romance that recreates what we just left behind. You have clearly stated the answer for yourself, "I really don't want to be hurt." Not being hurt and dating are in opposition. If you are going to give your heart, pleasure and pain follow.

If you can give yourself permission to play and not get serious, that will be fine. If your tendency is to take everything as gospel truth, you might find yourself in trouble. There is no right answer.  It's what your heart can handle. We all talk about love; it's acting the part that counts.
