Dear Angels,
"I am in my own way, but it is the only way I know.  I try doing things differnetly and then, after the fact, I realize that it is attitude (and not the good kind of attitude,) that has propelled the event or project.  It is a 'costume' that has kept me strong.  I wonder if I am no longer in touch with reality.  And if I let the costume fall off, who will I be, how wlll I stand, and where will I fit?  If you have an answer, thank you."  Barbara, Solana Beach, CA

Hi Barbara,
You appear to be so willing to look at your behavior and what you think of as your imperfections, that you are unable to move forward in your life.  You have a lopsided vision that seems to prevent you from seeing all your wonderful attributes. There is nothing you are missing.  You have everything you need to be successful emotionally and physically in the world, but you have given up.  If given up means surrendering to the Divine and asking for guidance with a strong, "Help Me!", then you're on the right track.  However, if it means you have asked for help to create your world the way you think it should be, then you may be disappointed. 

You are at a point of wanting to grow, telling yourself you are compassionate and able to accomplish, lovingly, what it is you want.  Unfortunately, there is a huge "but" here. The "but" is that your little kid within is so fearful that you will lose the little you have, that she draws bigger than life pictures in front of your dream-eyes, enabling you to see only your faults. She is crippling you emotionally from expanding your life.

You might ask yourself what it is you were told about yourself when you were a child?  Try to remember what got you into trouble. What were you punished for?  Also notice if instead of being open to opportunities, perhaps you are so guarded, that you shut yourself down before you can begin to bud.  Can it be that you learned to hold yourself tight-in so that you don't get blamed or brutalized, emotionally or physically?  

When I ask what I can share with you that can help you move forward in your mind, your Angels show me that you worry nonstop.  It is time to quiet your brain long enough to insist on a change.  "Let me see this differently!"  When you are able to let go, and let God, as the saying goes, your life will begin once again.

Maybe your costume party might be part of "the Shift!" Shift your attitude toward yourself, and watch your life unfold in a way that makes you smile.
