Ms. Debbie - In The Flow: What a Difference a Day Makes

Photo by author

Yesterday was a struggle. Tilly needed my attention, my mind was going 90 miles an hour and I felt out of sorts. I tried to write, but couldn’t find the peace and quiet that I needed to focus. Hmmm how interesting. These cards were in front of me, but because of the chaos in my mind, I realized I needed to wait to write about them until another day. Today seems to be the day. 

Number 7 the Beginnings card actually added to the frustration I felt yesterday. I can’t video tape if it’s noisy and I am distracted. The card's meaning is, “Wipe the slate clean; it’s now time to release the old and start again.” Ok, what is ending and what is beginning? In the, “Your Soul Wants You to Know” section, I see a partial answer to my question. “Your soul asks that you not cling to the old but set sail into new waters.” Since I was so frustrated yesterday, I believe my Angelic Tribe was trying to help me see that it is ok to begin again. A new season will arrive again soon, at that time you can start fresh with a new beginning. Yes, they were trying to help me see that it is important to respect the cycles of your life. Don’t try to force anything. The affirmation is, “I cherish all the cycles in my life!” Yesterday, the cycle was to let it go. Let it be, let it end for now. You can start over another day. 

Surrender, number 48. The number 48 is 2 of the 4 numbers that my Dad and my Friend use to communicate with me. The deer represents my father - in - law and the water represents going with the flow. Today I feel as though I am on this side of the rapids. Yesterday I was in the midst of them. It was very rough. This photo of the woods and the water is where my heart loves to be. We have spent many hours in the woods with our horses and each other. The card's meaning, which I could not even digest yesterday, is brilliant. “It’s time to let go. Let go of fear. All is well. You don’t have to do it all alone. Release negative thoughts about yourself, for your life is divinely guided.” That was perfect for yesterday. I just couldn’t even understand it from the low mood I was in yesterday. My team really was trying to help me yesterday, I couldn’t see it, feel it or hear it. This is a huge lesson for me, maybe for all of us in the collective. When we are in the middle of the rapids, it is important to float down stream to the peace and calm, because the rapids don’t last. They can’t. The water keeps moving us forward to a new ‘beginning’ if we learn to relax and float, we don’t get hurt. The Affirmation for this card is “all is well. I surrender to my inner guidance.” Oh, today I can do that. Yesterday, I really just needed a nap. There is more. This card was talking directly to me yesterday in the Your Soul Wants You to Know section. Listen to this. Letting go can heal the need to be in control, the stress of unfulfilled expectation, the anguish of demanding how things should be and the tension of wanting others to act in particular ways.” If that wasn’t trying to wake me up to letting go and floating down the steam, I don’t know what was. Though, I honestly missed it. I only knew that I was frustrated and feeling angry. Today, I find this sentence very interesting. “By releasing your hold, you’re allowing the creative forces of the universe to spiral through you.” Let’s face it. I had expectations that I should be doing this or that, when instead I needed to simply let go of all of my thoughts. I honestly know this, I just forget sometimes. 

Focus, card number 22. When I look at this card today, I think about the night I was staring into the sky at the bright white light. The light was above our arena trees. It was incredibly mesmerizing. I wasn’t sure if I was excited or afraid. I didn’t know if it was a planet or a stalled aircraft. As I read through the guidebook today, I see that once again the message was trying to help me get out of my funk. I couldn’t understand it at the time. Once again, I understand how important it is to focus on what we want to bring into our lives, yet sometimes I forget this, too. I was trying to force myself out of a terrible mood, but couldn’t. I couldn’t laugh, I couldn’t write, I could hardly breathe. I was stuck in a tornado of thoughts that I didn’t choose. They were there like a dark cloud that I could not see through. This sentence speaks to me today. It is time to focus your intent and your passion on one thing, rather than being scattered in different directions. 

Hmmm, I must have heard part of the message yesterday, because I let go of writing about the cards, I let go of thinking about video taping, and I let go of any and all expectations to do must of anything until today. 

I can see the truth in this phrase from the guidebook, “when you focus on what isn’t working, you create even more challenging situations.” She goes on to say, “concentrate on what you desire.” Oh how I wish I could have yesterday, but at least I can today!

What do you see? My first thought was that it is a hummingbird image. I looked again and saw a shark. Hmm. The Coffee Froth sent me 2 possible images to ponder. One feels happy and light while the other feels scary and dark. This image complements the cards from yesterday so beautifully. I can focus on what makes me happy, which brings lightness and creativity to my life, or I can focus on that which feels dark and scary and causes my mind to spin into a crazy tailspin that I can’t pull out of easily. 

Today I asked my Angelic Tribe and the Oracle of Fairies what they would like to share with us today. The cards speak for themselves perfectly. 

What do they say to you? 

Manifest a magical day or more. 

Ms. Debbie - In The Flow: Celebrate with Grace and Compassion

I recorded my second inspirational video yesterday. This morning, I woke up early. The house was quiet. Tilly was still asleep. The dream vision that I had during the night was fresh in my mind. 

‘Keep telling stories. Let the cards guide you, just like you have been doing with your writing.’

Since I am following my intuition, I decided it was a writing day. Someday, I may figure out how to do both in one day or combine them, but for today, in this moment, I am writing. 

I loved the deck I opened yesterday so much that I felt drawn to ask a question of my Spirit Team after I said the Akashic Prayer from Debbra’s book. 

Soul Coaching by Denise Linn is a lovely deck. Yesterday during the unboxing video I drew a couple of cards. Today, I asked the question, What cards would you like me to share with the collective in my writing today?

Interestingly, my husband was listening to the video from yesterday, while I was shuffling the deck today. He was listening to the reading about the card Enthusiasm. There are no coincidences, so I listened to myself reading the guidebook. I heard the Affirmation: I celebrate everything in my life, and I live in limitless joy. I listened to myself give gratitudes for my husband, for Tilly and for the tripod that I was able to wrap around the kitchen chair so that I could do as I was asked to do by my Spirit Team and friends to share and inspire others. 

How did I get to this place on my journey at this time in history? I have absolutely no idea, but I do believe we are all guided to follow our intuition and the breadcrumbs. Today’s message was to tell stories from the cards. 

I thought of another story that this card reminds me of. I remember horseback riding on a private property nearby. My dad had crossed over within the last year or so. He crossed in 2005. I had been riding on this property for many years at this time and never seen what I am about to share, before. It was a fall day. The leaves were falling off of the trees. My husband and I were alone. It was quiet and peaceful. The sun was shining brightly. There was no wind on top of the hill. We were riding a trail next to a fence. Some small trees were growing up next to some oak trees on the other side of the fence. I was riding Jewel. I don’t remember who my husband was riding at at the time. Possibly an Arab gelding, named Buddy. All of a sudden a huge swarm of dragon flies flew out of one of the small trees. I was mesmerized by this phenomenon. I had heard of it before, but I had never seen this amazing migration. We stopped to watch them flutter about. 

When they were gone from our sight, we continued to ride our horses along the trail. Moments after we had started to walk, we rode up on another smaller tree. As we did, a kaleidoscope of beautiful butterflies flew out of the tree. That was when I realized that it was definitely a sign from our loved ones, in particular, my dad, that he was ok and watching over us. 

Once we connect to our team of Angels and recognize their language, which may be different for everyone, the language can grow and expand. It takes practice from both sides of the veil. I love that memory so much. This card reminded me of it. I am grateful. 

The second card, number 25, Grace. A feeling of warmth and love fills my heart up full as I look at this picture. The mother holding her baby reminds me of the photo no one wanted that my mom had moved with her from home to home and apartment to apartment. It took me a while to remember what my mom said about the photo this one reminds me of.  If I remember, it reminded her to always protect the children. She surrounded it with pictures of her family. Of her children and grandchildren. It held a prominent place in her heart. I have it surrounded with other pictures from her home of a mom and her daughter. I cherished these pictures, too. I wrote one of the poems and typed up the other one that I found somewhere. I wish I could give credit to the person who wrote it. 

As I completed my dancing for today, the last song was “Amazing Grace” . It too was a perfect coincidence. The following sentences from the guidebook touched me. “Angels, guides and spiritual guardians are watching over you and cherishing you. Kindly honor the reality of others!” 

Oh my, that last sentence is a big ask right now. Breathe, relax, allow and let it flow! Another sentence that radiates as important is, “The creator knows the truth of the situation, even if others don’t.” “Hear the truth of others without the overlay of your own opinions.”

I often remind myself to listen for the truth. Always listen for the truth, the rest does not matter. Hmmm, I do believe that I needed that reminder while we navigate through this very upside down reality into the next.

The last card that popped out of the deck: 12, Compassion. Reminds me so much of the love between myself connecting to the hearts of my special fur babies. Yes, this includes dear sweet Miss Tilly Bear. It is amazing how much compassion wells up into my heart when she is snuggled up next to me.  

The guidebook Affirmation: The vibration of compassion shines through my every cell. I can relate to that feeling. I love this sentence, “It isn’t necessary to be perfect, there is no one you need to please but your higher self.” Now that sentence sure feels like the truth to me. 

What can you celebrate with grace and compassion today? 

Manifest a magical day or more.
