I want you to know that each and every one of you are on a unique journey and that each one of you is very important to so many (even if you don't feel it, you really are!).  You could be a miracle for someone, be it big or small and without you it may never happen.  We are all inter weaved, all of our journeys precious to not only ourselves but others along the way.  Every single one of you MATTER! Every single one of you is wanted, needed and so LOVED!!! And if no one told you that they love you today....I DO!!! I really do!! And I really hope you feel the love and healing of the universe wrapping you up in it's wings today and allowing you some room to breathe.

To know that each one of you is supported on your journeys and that you only have to ASK for help and it will be there for you, maybe not in the way you imagined but it will! Just ask, please ask.  Ask your guides/angels/high power whoever you believe in to step forward and help you with whatever it is that you feel you need help with, breathe and then watch for those answers to appear.
They may appear as a friend, a phone call, an offer of help, a hug, someone telling you that you are loved and that they believe in you.
It could be a newspaper article, a book, a song anything at all, just watch for that synchronicity and TRUST that you are exactly where you are meant to be in this moment for very good reason.
If you need more help than that ask, ask a friend, a family member, call a helpline of needed and use the resources that are out there (many of them free) to help you through whatever it is you're feeling.

It may feel hard and like there is no end, but that is our mind sending us into a big black hole or a never ending circle of unforgiving pain.  Choose to change those thoughts, choose to step forward in gratitude, choose to see the blessings in each and every day, even if they are small, the fact that you are looking for them, that you are asking for help, that you are not allowing the past to creep into this brand new moment or brand new day is the best start you could ever give yourself!

Allow yourself the room to feel good, to love yourself, to smile, to laugh, to bring all the good that you so desperately want and deserve into your life in amazing ways.
You are loved beautiful soul!!!!
I see you! I believe in you! I hope you see it too. I hope you believe and trust in you too! You are MORE than worth it!!!!

Please feel free to send a small miracle today in a comment below to your fellow souls across the world. You never know just how much your words of encouragement, experience, love, hope and faith may just mean to someone in the very moment that they read this.

Sending Huge hugs, Love and Warm Blessings to each and every one of you!

How many times have you experienced this optical illusion, and not thought much of it? Well unlike that scenario Mercury in Retrograde sure makes everyone stop in their tracks on some level, for Mercury rules commerce!


Mercury's retrograde cycle is approximately 22-24 days long.  During this time, you can be sure that communication breakdowns are ever present! Messages are not taken correctly or misunderstood (much like Chinese whispers), directions given often send you down the proverbial garden path, back again and then around a bend lol. Files are lost, items misplaced (this is the time to put some sort of alert on your keys or your wallet to help you find them in that moment where you need to be somewhere like 5 mins ago). Expect possible delays with travel plans (so make sure to give yourself plenty of time to get to your destination, wherever that may be) or with documents/letters that are needing to get somewhere by a specific time/day - all typically Mercury ruled activities.

Mercury Retrograde is widely known to be a time of 'fated' events, who will you meet? What will be revealed to you? What part of your past has come back up for you to grow through or learn from?

Being the planet that rules commerce take warning that it's best to avoid making any set plans during Mercury Retrograde. This means holding off and re-reading the fine print on signing contracts, forming partnerships, entering into new agreements etc.  Anything that gets put into writing at this time may turn out to need serious revising after Mercury goes direct. This is a such a strong repetition or scenario - what seems like a fantastic idea at the start of  Mercury Retrograde, often is no longer appropriate three to four weeks later; circumstances may change or new information comes to light that leads you to go in an entirely different direction.

Now onto our relationships with family, friends or colleagues.  What we once'd glossed over, swept under the rug or stuffed within, you know all those things that really pushed your buttons at the time, but which we often let slide) now comes back to haunt us.  What seemed not worth the trouble at the time may come back up during retrograde for us to deal with.  It could reveal itself as a major issue in need of our full attention (eeeek).  Mercury retrograde is a time to sit back, the universe is giving us a much needed break and allowing us time to review, allowing all those stuffed away, shrugged off and ignored beliefs and patterns within each of us come to the surface. 

By now i'm sure you're thinking ohhhh this is going to be horrible!!!! 
Why do we have to have this on top of everything else??? 
Just one more thing I didn't need?

Well believe me, I've asked myself that same question many times over, until I really understood that it is a fantastic time in our lives.   A major cause of stress within Mercury Retrograde is frustration from mishaps, things breaking down, computers going on the blink or you lose everything you really should have BACKED up when it was suggested (like now before it starts) BUT if we know the cycle, we are prepared for what's coming and understand that we finally get a chance to work through some of these patterns and belief systems that no longer serve us, you know the one's we keep repeating out of pure ignorance, and not understanding that Mercury is giving us a beautifully wrapped gift, a fantastic opportunity to NEVER have to repeat them again. 

Just observe and see what happens, and be open to the past returning for review. If it's coming back, there's likely something more to learn or release from it. This can be a good (and productive) time, in its own way. In conclusion and after much of my own experience during these times, I now conclude I LOVE Mercury Retrograde, how about you??  (Believe me, the more you are aware the easier and easier it gets)

With Love and Huge Blessings for an amazing Retrograde ahead, filled with much understanding, awareness, being gentle with yourself and those around you, patterns and beliefs obliterated completely from our lives and SOOOO much patience for the month ahead.

Of course, the problem with this is that our power lies in the present. When we live in the memories of the past or a dream of the future we give our power away.
We literally allow ourselves to forgo the now and focus on what could have been and what might be.

In the Harry Potter series, Dumbledore, the mentor filled with wisdom, says to Harry that the happiest man alive would be able to look in the Mirror of Desire and see himself exactly as he is. Now that my friends, is living in the present.

Living in the present is like being a pro surfer: riding the wave of time, capturing the wave of your life, following the flow of energy, being in that wonderful state of balance, embracing the adventure, the moment and every little piece of excitement it brings.

So what keeps us from living in the present moment, you may ask yourself?

• Letting go of the past is a HUGE one for many.
• Trying to be something or someone that you are not.
• Forgetting that we are all perfectly imperfect and that we are still wanted, needed and loved regardless of what we believe or perceive to be shortcomings. 

Just to name a few and i'm sure you could come up with far more (feel free to post them below, you never know someone might relate and find out something about themselves they were never aware of before).

So what can we do to help ourselves return to center, to live in the NOW?

• Let go of being too attached to the material world (I know secretly you're singing a bit of Madonna at this point)and someone else’s vision of success or failure.
• Connect to the heart of you and your inner guidance.
• Let go of constantly trying to impress others or wanting/needing their approval.
• Follow your own dreams and what it is that brings you joy, regardless of what other people may say about it.

• Ask yourself what is really important in your life, in this moment and let go of the rest.
• Choose to live your life like one big huge adventure filled with happiness and love.
• Always remember that it is not what happens to you or fails to happen that is important, so much as how you respond to each situation.
• And the big one, which for some I know is easier said than done. Love and Respect your gorgeous self exactly as you are in this moment, because you are exactly where you are supposed to be.
  

Living from the core that balanced center of yours means not becoming too identified with this life. It is to remember you are an eternal soul all the while  making the absolute best of whatever this life has to offer in all it's forms. It is to give yourself fully to your life in this moment yet at the same time allow yourself to trust, have faith and believe in yourself enough to go with the flow of life.

Once we are able to find that place of calm, that direct center, the eye in the storm so to speak, it is much easier to enjoy any wins, successes, fantastic opportunities without making them the center of the universe, massively important or trying to cling to them. It is also easier to deal with the storm that may be raging around you, the difficult times, because that place of calm also allows you the chance to discover the lessons, wisdom and growth they offer, knowing that this too will pass and that tomorrow is a brand new day.

Love and Warm Blessings
