EST. JUNE 2015 FOR THE SHARING OF ANGELIC GUIDANCE/LIFE/LIGHT & LOVE
Hello Angels… I thought I’d share my Saturday activity…
Such a fun day hiking with these such adorable and well behaved goats…
As you can see the Angels are always around as per the signs in the sky. Always get out and explore Angels and enjoy this life that is short.
I wish you all happiness, good health, enlightenment, and most of all a love for life!
Always with Light and Love Angels!
Have you ever thought about getting a tattoo, but never really (1) wanted the pain involved and (2) we not sure about having something permanent on your body. Well, in order to see if I would really even like it I decided to try this… consciousink.com
Here is a little about Conscious Ink:
Can a temporary tattoo leave a lasting impression on our disposition? Solidify our intentions and affirmations? Make a permanent mark on the world? Crazy as it may seem to some, Conscious Ink founder Frank Gjata, offers an enthusiastic yes! Conscious Ink is on a mission is to spread love and raise consciousness around the world, one body at a time!
Of course, these are no ordinary tats. And we’re no ordinary temporary tattoo company. In fact, we’re not a temporary tattoo company at all. We’re a consciousness company that utilizes temporary tattoos, hats, and everything we can get our hands on, to support people on their path!
Conscious Ink Manifestation Temporary Tattoos consist of a dream list of positive words, inspiring quotes, healing affirmations and empowering invitations. Even at the most basic level, these messages can have a profound effect on us by simply reminding us of our intentions as we go about our day. Not to mention how they may impact those fortunate enough to get a glimpse of your provocative ink and its message. Perhaps, gifting them with the exact sign they need in that exact moment! Pretty cool.
Of course, the influence of these positive messages can extend much deeper. Read about the latest research on the mind/body connection here. (See videos on Dr. Emoto’s research on how even water molecules are impacted by our thoughts, words, and feelings.)
Now let’s consider aesthetics for a minute. Plain and simple, these are beautiful tattoos that look like the real thing. We don’t think there’s anything superficial about beauty. Each Conscious Ink Manifestation Tattoo has been thoughtfully designed specifically to convey the essence of the word, quote or affirmation.
Aside from never having to worry about getting your Conscious Ink tattoo painfully removed, another benefit of the temporary aspect is that you can change them out as often as your mood, or as you shift from one intention to another. Nor will you get immune from the power of the messages like you might if they were permanent. Our tattoos are safe, non-toxic, and exceed safety standards for the US/FDA, Canada and the EU. Made in the USA. They contain no animal products. No testing on animals.
So join us! Let’s raise our consciousness, so we can uplift the world!”
As for me, I purchased a few different ones, but am trying out the below to see how it looks …
I have it on my wrist and so far I like it. 8) It reminds me of ALL my Angels that surround me and look after me. It reminds me to keep the Faith, stay Positive, and always “look up” because you never know what you’ll see.

Happy Inking Angels!
Always with Light and Love!
Have you ever wondered what else there is to learn about Enlightenment and/or where it even came from or started? Thank you to the History Channel for opening our eyes and inspiring all of us even more so than we could have ever imagined … https://www.history.com/topics/enlightenment
European politics, philosophy, science and communications were radically reoriented during the course of the “long 18th century” (1685-1815) as part of a movement referred to by its participants as the Age of Reason, or simply the Enlightenment. Enlightenment thinkers in Britain, in France and throughout Europe questioned traditional authority and embraced the notion that humanity could be improved through rational change. The Enlightenment produced numerous books, essays, inventions, scientific discoveries, laws, wars and revolutions. The American and French Revolutions were directly inspired by Enlightenment ideals and respectively marked the peak of its influence and the beginning of its decline. The Enlightenment ultimately gave way to 19th-century Romanticism.
The Enlightenment’s important 17th-century precursors included the Englishmen Francis Bacon and Thomas Hobbes, the Frenchman Renee Descartes and the key natural philosophers of the Scientific Revolution, including Galileo, Kepler and Leibniz. Its roots are usually traced to 1680s England, where in the span of three years Isaac Newton published his “Principia Mathematica” (1686) and John Locke his “Essay Concerning Human Understanding” (1689)—two works that provided the scientific, mathematical and philosophical toolkit for the Enlightenment’s major advances.
Locke argued that human nature was mutable and that knowledge was gained through accumulated experience rather than by accessing some sort of outside truth. Newton’s calculus and optical theories provided the powerful Enlightenment metaphors for precisely measured change and illumination.
There was no single, unified Enlightenment. Instead, it is possible to speak of the French Enlightenment, the Scottish Enlightenment and the English, German, Swiss or American Enlightenment. Individual Enlightenment thinkers often had very different approaches. Locke differed from Hume, Rousseau from Voltaire, Thomas Jefferson from Frederick the Great. Their differences and disagreements, though, emerged out of the common Enlightenment themes of rational questioning and belief in progress through dialogue.
Centered on the dialogues and publications of the French “philosophes” (Voltaire, Rousseau, Montesquieu, Buffon and Diderot), the High Enlightenment might best be summed up by one historian’s summary of Voltaire’s “Philosophical Dictionary”: “a chaos of clear ideas.” Foremost among these was the notion that everything in the universe could be rationally demystified and cataloged. The signature publication of the period was Diderot’s “Encyclopédie” (1751-77), which brought together leading authors to produce an ambitious compilation of human knowledge.
It was an age of enlightened despots like Frederick the Great, who unified, rationalized and modernized Prussia in between brutal multi-year wars with Austria, and of enlightened would-be revolutionaries like Thomas Paine and Thomas Jefferson, whose “Declaration of Independence” (1776) framed the American Revolution in terms taken from of Locke’s essays.
It was also a time of religious (and anti-religious) innovation, as Christians sought to reposition their faith along rational lines and deists and materialists argued that the universe seemed to determine its own course without God’s intervention. Secret societies—the Freemasons, the Bavarian Illuminati, the Rosicrucians—flourished, offering European men (and a few women) new modes of fellowship, esoteric ritual and mutual assistance. Coffeehouses, newspapers and literary salons emerged as new venues for ideas to circulate.
The French Revolution of 1789 was the culmination of the High Enlightenment vision of throwing out the old authorities to remake society along rational lines, but it devolved into bloody terror that showed the limits of its own ideas and led, a decade later, to the rise of Napoleon. Still, its goal of egalitarianism attracted the admiration of the early feminist Mary Wollstonecraft and inspired both the Haitian war of independence and the radical racial inclusivism of Paraguay’s first post-independence government.
Enlightened rationality gave way to the wildness of Romanticism, but 19th-century Liberalism and Classicism—not to mention 20th-century Modernism—all owe a heavy debt to the thinkers of the Enlightenment.
My Angels ~
Let yourselves be free both mentally and physically in order to become your true self. Let go of things which do not inspire and push you in the direction of becoming your higher self. Listen to your inner voice and guidance, keep an eye out for signs from your Angels that will help to direct your attention back to your inner self, and always look to be inspired and inspire.
Always with Light and Love Angels!
Additonally, here’s a list of all the Channeled Messages:
Wishing you much love, light and abundance,
Nicholas
Always with Light and Love Angels!
Letting Go… sometimes it’s easier said than done. But, in this life you find that in order to be free, move on, and have peace, you have to let go. It might not happen all at once and might take a little time and practice in which to do so, but let it be and keep letting go. Eventually you find you might have to “Let Go” of friends that no longer bring you joy, but heart break or stress, you might have to let go of family member(s) that have too much negativity around them that just wears you down, you might have to let go of old memories or feelings for people, places, or things that no longer do you any good, but only cause you to be down or depressed. When you get to that point that it is all just too much anymore and you just cannot do it any longer, that is the moment when if not before you cry out and just let it go and hand it over to your Angels. Just Release it ALL! My Angels, sometimes in life it takes us a while to realize that we must just “let go” and move on. But, we have to move on in order to be happy in this life, in your life, for your future, and for your health as well as your emotional inner and outer happiness.
Once we get to the place of realizing we have to let go and are okay with letting go, we find that we have let go of this huge cloud that has been hanging over our heads without truly even realizing it. And boy what a release of emotional baggage that you again didn’t realize you carried so close. Ahhh…. it’s okay to just “let go” and/or “let it ALL go.”
The peace that I want for us ALL is to have the kind of peace that Dorothy has… you know Dorothy, my baby girl below… when looking at this photo you can see that she is at peace, she is stress free, she is relaxed, day dreaming possibly, and just enjoying and living in the moment…
Dorothy loves the fire as this (1) keeps her warm, and (2) brings her comfort and joy as you can well tell from this photo. It brings me peace and comfort to just sit and watch her just be in the moment and relax as that is what I have been working on doing. Just trying to be in this moment in time, release more of the negativity that has surrounded me for the past almost two years, and let it ALL go. It seems to be getting easier these days with the help from my Angels, Guides, Guardians, and Lord and Savior! I also could not do any of this without you ~ my Angels here that let me talk about things to let it out and be able to “let go.” So, thank you to ALL of my Angels for being here. You do not know how much you are all Loved and Appreciated just for being you!
My Angels, try to just release and let go of any negativity that surrounds you whether it be from family, friends, co-workers, other drivers, or whomever, just let it go and release it. Ask for help from your Angels as they are always near you, with you, and want to help you be free of any unnecessary stress, tension, or heartache. They want you and us ALL to release it all and just “let it go.”
My Loves Happy Friday and know that I wish you ALL the very best, always and send you much Light & Love.
Cheers!
Stephen Hawking (per his Official Site):
“In 1963, Hawking contracted motor neurone disease and was given two years to live. Yet he went on to Cambridge to become a brilliant researcher and Professorial Fellow at Gonville and Caius College. From 1979 to 2009 he held the post of Lucasian Professor at Cambridge, the chair held by Isaac Newton in 1663. Professor Hawking has over a dozen honorary degrees and was awarded the CBE in 1982. He is a fellow of the Royal Society and a member of the US National Academy of Science. Stephen Hawking is regarded as one of the most brilliant theoretical physicists since Einstein.”
Mr. Hawking also wrote children’s books like the one below:
Per Mr. Hawking: “In my latest book for children, “George and the Blue Moon”, George and Annie, set out to solve a mystery set on one of the cosmic waterworlds of space. Is there life under the icy crust? Where did those robots come from and who is controlling them? Meanwhile, my two young heroes win places on a Mars training programme which has a dangerous and unexpected twist. Suddenly, the best friends find themselves fighting for survival in what feels like the Hunger Games set on the red planet. Packed with space facts and essays from leading scientists, it is my most unpredictable thriller so far!”

Black Holes: The Reith lectures |
George and the Blue Moon |
“It is said that fact is sometimes stranger than fiction, and nowhere is that more true than in the case of black holes. Black holes are stranger than anything dreamed up by science fiction writers.”
In 2016 Professor Stephen Hawking delivered the BBC Reith Lectures on a subject that has fascinated him for decades – black holes. In these flagship lectures the legendary physicist argues that if we could only understand black holes and how they challenge the very nature of space and time, we could unlock the secrets of the universe. |
In my latest book for children, “George and the Blue Moon”, George and Annie, set out to solve a mystery set on one of the cosmic waterworlds of space. Is there life under the icy crust? Where did those robots come from and who is controlling them? Meanwhile, my two young heroes win places on a Mars training programme which has a dangerous and unexpected twist. Suddenly, the best friends find themselves fighting for survival in what feels like the Hunger Games set on the red planet. Packed with space facts and essays from leading scientists, it is my most unpredictable thriller so far!

My Angels… Have you ever had one of those days or weeks where everything seems to go wrong! OMGosh…. it seems like everything lately that I do or work on something happens and in a negative light or vibration. Lord Give Me Strength and Patience!
It has been so bad and upsetting that I have broken down and cried! Sometimes it’s just all too much and believe me I do have my moments… everyone does. But, in those moments I cry out and pray and talk to my Angels for Light, Love, Strength, and Power to overcome. My Angels never let me down and I know deep down that there is something to learn out of this and this too shall end soon.
I call upon Archangel Ariel for much Guidance and Strength:
Archangel Ariel: “Strength and grace through kindness. Self confidence. Forgiveness”.
“You have great strength and compassion! The kindness and understanding that you give to others are a blessed gift. However, it is equally important to show gentleness toward yourself. You may see aspects within you that cause you worry or impatience. But every person is a child of God. It is by balancing all aspects of yourself with love and mercy that you learn to exhibit those same qualities to people around you.
You are far stronger than you may believe. The situation you find yourself in requires a very soft and sensitive approach. Archangel Ariel can help you stay strong in the face of any challenge.
Additional meanings of this card: “Self confidence. Patience. Self control. Forgiveness. Inner strength. Influence through kindness.
Archangel Ariel is the angel known for protecting animals, the environment, and those who seek to safeguard our world. Her name means “Lioness of God,” and she can inspire great courage in the hearts of those who call upon her, Archangel Ariel is also known to be an angel of manifesting the essentials of daily life. Call upon Ariel if you are feeling uncertain or experiencing a lack of confidence, and she will help you get in touch with you own inner strength.”*
Excerpts from Archangels 101 by Doreen Virtue:
“Dear Archangel Ariel, please help me connect with the healing power and spirit of nature.” ~ Doreen Virtue
“Ariel is a healing angel who works closely with Archangel Raphael, especially when it comes to helping birds, fish and other animals.
“Thank you, Archangel Ariel, for guiding me toward the best way for me to help the earth’s environment.”
Archangel Ariel is believed to be a leader of the Virtues choir of angels – those who govern the order of the physical universe, watching over the sun, moon, stars and all of the planets, including Earth. For this reason, Ariel is intimately involved in environmentalism. If you feel called to work in fields protective of the earth’s ecology, oceans, air quality, or animals, then Ariel can help you.
So much has been happening lately that its so hard sometimes to even talk about, write about, but I need to. At times it’s just too much for my head and heart to handle.
My Angels… thank you for listening and Always being there! I have been feeling out of sorts lately and know that I find my comfort here, with you, with my Angels, and keeping the Light in my Heart though sometimes others try and take it away.
Sending you ALL much Love, Light, and Extra Strength!
HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY ANGELS!!!
My Angels, Happy Valentine’s Day!!! I wanted to tell you that (1) you are ALL LOVED SO MUCH and always watched over and (2) that YOU should always LOVE YOURSELF first! You are your own Valentine each and every day! So, you do have to have someone else in your life to make you feel loved as that love should come from within first for yourself and then and only then will you be open to receive love from another. Others will see your Light and your Love and will not be able to help but want to be near you. So, wake up each morning, look at yourself in the mirror, and say I Love you – you are beautiful or handsome, you are a gift, you are a Light and you are special! Start your days off this way and you will feel so much better about yourself and that day in general.
And, in case you were wondering who the Angel of Love is:
Archangel Chamuel, who guides us to find whatever we’re seeking, including romance and partnership. Archangel Raphael, who helps our hearts heal from the past and stay open to present and future love. Archangel Raguel, who instills harmony within relationships, ensuring peaceful interactions and communication
My Angels ~ I say all of this just so that you know that I Love You ALL and wish you ALL the very best, Always! I always wish much Light and Love for you and am always here.
Have a great day Angels and an even better week.
xoxoxoxoxo
I saw this on another blog (forgive me for not remembering), but I just had to share!!
Always remember Angels – you are about to be launched in GREATNESS!!
Good afternoon my Lovely Angels!! And, Happy Wednesday!
Have you ever worked at a job where you would just love to move on and do something else, but you enjoy some of the people where you are, you feel you haven’t quite made a big difference yet (when you truly have already), and/or you have been there for so long that the idea of a change and leaving the familiarity of this place and the contacts you’ve made is a bit stressful to even ponder. When someone thinks of something they need or need to have done they always know that you can do it and will. They depend on you and know your reputation to be the one to go to. That in and of itself is priceless. That right there shows that you have, in fact, made a difference. But, you have not been treated properly for a long time now, have not been supported in your efforts to grow, and you come home everyday irritable/upset/depressed and just not as happy as you used to be when going to do this job. Sometimes, there are just signs that tell you deep down “it is time to move on” as Change is Required.
My Angels, life is too short not to be “happy.” No matter what that happiness is for each and every one of us, we must all find our happiness daily. And, if you are working at a particular place that does not in some way, shape, or form give you some sort of happiness or fulfillment then please listen to your inner voice and the signs that are giving you the guidance you require – the guidance you need.
My Angels, I say all this to tell you to please have “FAITH!” Have Faith in the future, in your Angelic Inner Guidance, in yourself, Faith in this Life. My Angels, you are always looked after and loved tremendously. Believe in this, believe in you, believe in Faith, believe in your loved ones who are cheering you on and know you can do anything you set your mind to.
Now, Go and Spread Your Wings and Fly My Angels! Fly so High and Never Look in that Rear-view Mirror except to wink and say “I Did It!”
Always with Light & Love!

Hello my Angels… I find myself a little bored so why not go and take a tour of the world? Through Google Earth I am able to visit anywhere I want to, especially the “New 7 Wonders of the World.” I give you:
The Chichen Itza:
The genius and adaptability of Mayan culture can be seen in the splendid ruins of Chichen Itza. This powerful city, a trading center for cloth, slaves, honey and salt, flourished from approximately 800 to 1200, and acted as the political and economic hub of the Mayan civilization. The most familiar ruin at the site is El Caracol, a sophisticated astronomical observatory.
Christ the Redeemer:
The Art Deco-style Christ the Redeemer statue has been looming over the Braziliansfrom upon Corcovado mountain in an awe-inspiring state of eternal blessing since 1931. The 130-foot reinforced concrete-and-soapstone statue was designed by Heitor da Silva Costa and cost approximately $250,000 to build – much of the money was raised through donations. The statue has become an easily recognized icon for Rio and Brazil.
The Roman Colosseum:
Rome‘s, if not Italy‘s, most enduring icon is undoubtedly its Colosseum. Built between A.D. 70 and 80 A.D., it was in use for some 500 years. The elliptical structure sat nearly 50,000 spectators, who gathered to watch the gladiatorial events as well as other public spectacles, including battle reenactments, animal hunts and executions. Earthquakes and stone-robbers have left the Colosseum in a state of ruin, but portions of the structure remain open to tourists, and its design still influences the construction of modern-day amphitheaters, some 2,000 years later.
The Great Wall of China:
Machu Picchu:
Machu Picchu, an Incan city of sparkling granite precariously perched between 2 towering Andean peaks, is thought by scholars to have been a sacred archaeological center for the nearby Incan capital of Cusco. Built at the peak of the Incan Empire in the mid-1400s, this mountain citadel was later abandoned by the Incas. The site remained unknown except to locals until 1911, when it was rediscovered by archaeologist Hiram Bingham. The site can only be reached by foot, train or helicopter; most visitors visit by train from nearby Cusco.
Petra (Jordan):
Machu Picchu, an Incan city of sparkling granite precariously perched between 2 towering Andean peaks, is thought by scholars to have been a sacred archaeological center for the nearby Incan capital of Cusco. Built at the peak of the Incan Empire in the mid-1400s, this mountain citadel was later abandoned by the Incas. The site remained unknown except to locals until 1911, when it was rediscovered by archaeologist Hiram Bingham. The site can only be reached by foot, train or helicopter; most visitors visit by train from nearby Cusco.
~And Lastly ~
The Taj Majal:
A mausoleum commissioned for the wife of Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, the Taj Majalwas built between 1632 and 1648. Considered the most perfect specimen of Muslim art in India, the white-marble Taj Majal actually represents a number of architectural styles, including Persian, Islamic, Turkish and Indian. The Taj Majal also encompasses formal gardens of raised pathways, sunken flower beds and a linear reflecting pool.
My day has been quite active and I have seen so much and explored more than I ever thought possible. What an awesome way to see these amazing places (for now anyway) until I can get there in person.
So, please go and visit for your self and explore Angels! You will not regret it!
Always with Light and Love Angels~!~
10 THINGS SMART PEOPLE NEVER SAY
I’m not talking about shocking slips of the tongue, off-color jokes, or politically incorrect faux pas. These aren’t the only ways to make yourself look bad. Often it’s the subtle remarks — the ones that paint us as incompetent and unconfident — that do the most damage.
No matter how talented you are or what you’ve accomplished, there are certain phrases that instantly change the way people see you and can forever cast you in a negative light. These phrases are so loaded with negative implications that they undermine careers in short order.
“This is the way it’s always been done”
Technology-fueled change is happening so fast that even a six-month-old process could be outdated. Saying this is the way it’s always been done not only makes you sound lazy and resistant to change, but it could make your boss wonder why you haven’t tried to improve things on your own. If you really are doing things the way they’ve always been done, there’s almost certainly a better way.
“It’s not my fault”
It’s never a good idea to cast blame. Be accountable. If you had any role — no matter how small — in whatever went wrong, own it. If not, offer an objective, dispassionate explanation of what happened. Stick to the facts, and let your boss and colleagues draw their own conclusions about who’s to blame. The moment you start pointing fingers is the moment people start seeing you as someone who lacks accountability for their actions. This makes people nervous. Some will avoid working with you altogether, and others will strike first and blame you when something goes wrong.
“I can’t”
I can’t is it’s not my fault’s twisted sister. People don’t like to hear I can’t because they think it means I won’t. Saying I can’t suggests that you’re not willing to do what it takes to get the job done. If you really can’t do something because you truly lack the necessary skills, you need to offer an alternative solution. Instead of saying what you can’t do, say what you can do. For example, instead of saying “I can’t stay late tonight,” say “I can come in early tomorrow morning. Will that work?” Instead of “I can’t run those numbers,” say “I don’t yet know how to run that type of analysis. Is there someone who can show me so that I can do it on my own next time?”
“It’s not fair”
Everyone knows that life isn’t fair. Saying it’s not fair suggests that you think life is supposed to be fair, which makes you look immature and naïve. If you don’t want to make yourself look bad, you need to stick to the facts, stay constructive, and leave your interpretation out of it. For instance, you could say, “I noticed that you assigned Ann that big project I was hoping for. Would you mind telling me what went into that decision? I’d like to know why you thought I wasn’t a good fit, so that I can work on improving those skills.”
“That’s not in my job description”
This often sarcastic phrase makes you sound as though you’re only willing to do the bare minimum required to keep getting a paycheck, which is a bad thing if you like job security. If your boss asks you to do something that you feel is inappropriate for your position (as opposed to morally or ethically inappropriate), the best move is to complete the task eagerly. Later, schedule a conversation with your boss to discuss your role in the company and whether your job description needs an update. This ensures that you avoid looking petty. It also enables you and your boss to develop a long-term understanding of what you should and shouldn’t be doing.
“This may be a silly idea/I’m going to ask a stupid question”
These overly passive phrases instantly erode your credibility. Even if you follow these phrases with a great idea, they suggest that you lack confidence, which makes the people you’re speaking to lose confidence in you. Don’t be your own worst critic. If you’re not confident in what you’re saying, no one else will be either. And, if you really don’t know something, say, “I don’t have that information right now, but I’ll find out and get right back to you.”
“I’ll try”
Just like the word think, try sounds tentative and suggests that you lack confidence in your ability to execute the task. Take full ownership of your capabilities. If you’re asked to do something, either commit to doing it or offer an alternative, but don’t say that you’ll try because it sounds like you won’t try all that hard.
“This will only take a minute”
Saying that something only takes a minute undermines your skills and gives the impression that you rush through tasks. Unless you’re literally going to complete the task in 60 seconds, feel free to say that it won’t take long, but don’t make it sound as though the task can be completed any sooner than it can actually be finished.
“I hate this job”
The last thing anyone wants to hear at work is someone complaining about how much they hate their job. Doing so labels you as a negative person and brings down the morale of the group. Bosses are quick to catch on to naysayers who drag down morale, and they know that there are always enthusiastic replacements waiting just around the corner.
“He’s lazy/incompetent/a jerk”
There is no upside to making a disparaging remark about a colleague. If your remark is accurate, everybody already knows it, so there’s no need to point it out. If your remark is inaccurate, you’re the one who ends up looking like a jerk. There will always be rude or incompetent people in any workplace, and chances are that everyone knows who they are. If you don’t have the power to help them improve or to fire them, then you have nothing to gain by broadcasting their ineptitude. Announcing your colleague’s incompetence comes across as an insecure attempt to make you look better. Your callousness will inevitably come back to haunt you in the form of your coworkers’ negative opinions of you.
Bringing it all together
These phrases have a tendency to sneak up on you, so you’re going to have to catch yourself until you’ve solidified the habit of not saying them.

Good Day Angels! So sorry I haven’t been posting lately… I’ve been super busy… moving. Goodness how I do not like packing up everything you have for a move. But, we are almost done and officially move tomorrow. Whew… Now, if only my babies take to it well. That stressed me out more – my baby kitties being stressed for days at a time after a move. Do any of you ever have this happen when you move? And, if so, what do you do about it?
I thought I would write today and say “Happy Friday!” I have been ahead a day all week and cannot seem to get a handle on it. LOL!
I hope you are all well, staying busy in life and adventurous and as always staying in Faith, Light, and Love with your Angels. I have much to be thankful for and thank my Angels often. The last two years have been just awful and I look forward to new changes, new beginnings, and a release of past stressors and disappointments. Onwards and upwards my Angels!!!
