The Angels remind us that we naturally have access to a wide range of emotions. This is a gift, to be able to feel and express multiple, and even conflicting, emotions at any given time. But we can’t pick and choose only the “good” ones. It’s a package deal, and we must be willing to explore them as they arise.
The Angels remind us to appreciate the gifts we receive, even if they’re wrapped in packages we don’t understand or wouldn’t have chosen. So many time we throw out something valuable because it doesn’t appear so on the outside. As Mary Oliver writes, even darkness can be a gift.

The Angels remind us that sadness is also a gift, one which we must accept and unwrap like any other, in order to receive its riches.
The Angels remind us that if we aren’t connecting with our intuition it’s because we aren’t listening. Intuition is an innate gift we each possess, and it’s also a daily practice in becoming empty so that we have space to be refilled and reconnected.
Wide open spaces
Lure us to places of infinite possibility
Where our minds dare not go
And our hearts already abide
Lingering in the morning dew
Basking in the sunshine
Crawling through the grasses
To find each tiny creature of inspiration
Each is a gift,
A treasure,
A moment of grace
Each embodies the newness of spring
And the familiarity of summer
Where narrow minds open to new realities,
New worlds,
New faces
Like an infant who knows nothing but connection
The wide open spaces bring us back again

The Angels want us to know that when we feel blocked, with blank minds and empty hearts, that is when we have the opportunity, the gift, of a clean slate. We can write whatever we wish upon that page and send it out to the world fresh and new. Let your inspiration flow through the empty moments, for that space in between is where we find the richness inside.
The angels want you to embrace the being inside, even if she is hurting, angry, frightened. Even if she is not the person you envisioned yourself to be. Soothe her anger, her pain, her fear. Soothe her feeling that she isn’t enough. Soothe her with the gift of love.
We are all wounded; it’s our secret super power. Reach down into your deepest wound and ask “What here is my gift to the world? What from my experience, my pain, may bring light to those around me?”
Sometimes the gift you seek is right in your hands, you only have to recognize its worthiness and have the courage to open it.
The angel inside
wishes to tell you a secret:
that you are a life worth living
a dream worth having
that your very existence
brightens the earth
in a way no other can
that the light inside your soul
is not meant to be hidden
or denied
but is your gift to the world
this life that you live now
is your impact on humankind
a model for generations to come
death will not absolve you
but rather, lift you into the night
a shining beacon for all who wish to follow
Live this life well
find your peace within
do minimal harm
right your wrongs whenever possible
shine your beacon for those who struggle
those who wrong you
those who are difficult to understand
and most importantly
shine for yourself
illuminate your own path
don’t wait for someone to do it for you
all that you will ever need
is within you
