Something Within ME wants to express itself.

"The Universe is friendly and for YOU and ME. What is it in You that is ready to express itself?" What do we have to give, to be? What do we complain about what we don't have? Use what we have, be in GRATITUDE! So inspiring! What choices am I going to make?



I don't know about you but I am so ready to let go of what has held me back, the fears, the vows.



Can I just let go? "If I can let go the darkness will fade If I can just let go there's a light all around me But the pain in my thought has kept me holding on But I feel like letting go I'm ready to run and I'm ready to leap into what is real I got a sweet invitation, a mandate of ecstasy Let go of your will, drop your tools, and follow me I am the life within you, it's time to be free I feel like letting go Let go, let God Let go, Let God Let go, I feel like letting go Let go, let God, let go. If I can let go heaven's at hand Right now new life is awaiting While I'm rearranging these old facts of mine Said I'm tired of holding on My heart is making an authentic appeal It's such a sweet invitation, a mandate of ecstasy Don't hold on any longer, drop your tools and follow me I won't abandon my vision, it's time to release The power of God is guiding me To surrender to what I've got to be And deep within God loves me so Let go, I'm letting go With God all things are possible With God all things are bountiful And deep within God loves us so Let go, I'm letting go If we can let go the darkness will fade Pray to let go, let go, let go. "I Feel Like Letting Go" from the CD In The Land Of I Am" Music and Lyrics by Rickie Byars & Michael Beckwith


Are you ready to Take a Holy Breath and Find your Joy? I am

Unemployed Angels Want Work - Hiring the Heavens

Yes there are hundreds and thousands of unemployed angels that want to work.   I didn't know that until the other day when my co-creator, Maggie Lukowski and I interviewed Jean Slatter, author of Hiring The Heavens.   Of course when I knew she was coming on our show Personal Empowerment For Your Soul, I bought the kindle version.  I could hardly put the book down.  Jean says you can hire committees of angels to help you with every aspect of your life.  You can have business meetings with your committees in your car as you drive to work or in your mind as you're walking through the grocery store.  You can ask your angels for help with anything and everything.  This is the way Jean lives her life, which she writes about in the book. She also gives examples of how other people have experienced seeming miracles by hiring their angels to help them find things, get better jobs, find their perfect doctor's, even meeting their mates.  She talked about a man who hired a Spiritual Joy Committee! 


Jean is such an enthusiastic speaker. She explained to us that she didn't want anything to do with religion and angels growing up but one day she had a profound moment that changed her life and led her on the path of hiring angels.  She says we do not need to earn our angel's help. "The payment comes in the form of currency the spiritual world knows and that is LOVE AND JOY."  Jean goes into detail about why we deserve our angel's help and on the radio program she talked about the difference between this and the Law of Attraction, which I found fascinating.

If you are struggling in your life and you're not living your dreams I suggest you listen to this uplifting and inspirational show. If it speaks to you and gets you excited you can buy the book, Hiring the Heavens by Jean Slatter.


I'm hiring, are you?




Wednesday's Free Tarot Class - SUN




Hi and welcome our Wednesday Tarot class. This week we are exploring that life-giving energy card called The Sun. Take a look at your Sun card in the Rider-Waite deck or the card above. Doesn’t it look like this child is saying, “Look Ma, no hands?” This is just about what the child is doing. This child represents the fool with nothing more to hide. Notice he is guiding the horse without using a bridle or reins. This is like the Charioteer in card 7 only the Charioteer was learning how to triumph over his own will. The child in the sun card has gained spiritual mastery and control between the subconscious mind and the conscious. Its like when we learn to play a musical instrument or learn to ski, we use the conscious part of our minds, then when we’ve practiced over and over until we finally “get” it, we let the subconscious mind take over and we can play almost by memory. All along in these series of tarot articles, we have been learning new ways to think, new ideas to work on and if we’ve followed along, we are like the naked child with nothing more to hide. Finally we are beginning to “see the light”, to be freer and more able to guide our lives with less struggle. Check out the red banner that the child is holding in his left (subconscious) hand. The red banner signifies action, vitality and fire energy. The Sun also represents the all-seeing eye.

The picture of the sun looks like a face because quabalists have taught that every human is a miniature solar system. Now that the child has learned spiritual mastery, he needs to share it with others by sharing true knowledge from his center, his heart chakra. When we open up our heart chakra’s people can see our radiant light and begin to look toward us for inspiration. The best way we can help others is to walk our talk instead of preaching and telling others what they should or shouldn’t do. When we get right with ourselves and open our hearts, we are living from our center and we begin to glow. People will say, “you look so different, did you get a new hair do, or is that a new outfit you are wearing?” We are the law of radiance, glowing, awakened and illuminating. People love to be around someone whose words, thoughts and actions are aligned with their Higher Selves and Higher Truths. You have healed your own child within and don’t need to keep your shield up anymore.

Astrologically the sun represents the sun. It rules itself because all life needs the regenerative life force from the sun to exist.

When you get this card in a reading, it means YES!!! It is a card of good news Yes your love will be back, yes you have more energy, health, happiness! If you look at the card again you’ll see a wall with sunflowers growing on top of it. Instead of facing the sun, the sunflowers are facing the child for their full development. We all are miniature suns within us and as we walk through the 19 initiates of the fool and learn each step, we, too can attain Mastery. We can help humanity on the inner planes the way the sun helps with its light on the outer. Remember that Jesus said, “Become as little children”? This doesn’t mean that we have to lose what we’ve learned but be honest and exposed.

How can you and I be more like the Sun card? Can we give up forcing our opinions on others and telling them what they should and shouldn’t do? How do we know what lesson they came into this earth plane to learn? Can we open up our hearts and love instead of judge and seek retaliation? What can we change in our own lives to make ourselves happier and more fulfilled? Have we lost the ability to play? Have we lost our childlike joy in life because we are too dedicated to the world of obligations and shoulds? Why don’t we let that beautiful child within ourselves out to enjoy the rays of the sun again! Let’s begin to be true to ourselves a little at a time until we reach that point where we know who this child is and what talents he/she has. Let’s trust our child within to teach us about who we really are.

The Sun’s Advice:

Find your joy and be excited about life
Find an exercise you enjoy and get your body moving
Get outside and into the sunshine as often as possible
Let the rays of the sun heal you inside and out
Be light and playful, be colorful

Next week we’ll be talking about judgment. Don’t shiver; it’s a pretty neat card. Come back next week and you’ll see. Until then,
Angel Hugs, Jean Maurie

Free Wednesday Tarot Class - Strength Card




Hi and welcome to the Wednesday tarot lesson. This week we are going to meet Strength! It is number 8 and if you look at the Rider-Waite deck you will see a beautiful woman with the number 8 floating over her head turned sideways. – The same as the Magician had over his head. Women can be magicians too! This sign is the symbol of infinity, or forever ness. It also represents the state of balance and how she is focused on right thinking, which leads to right action. After all, she is petting a Lion! She has moved beyond needing a wand because her power is in her hands. Using her spiritual courage, Ms Strength has learned how to control her passions, which the Lion represents. The Lion also represents our lower selves, the animal within us.

If you remember the Charioteer from last week, he was testing out his tools and skills by traveling, using his mind. He was outside of his protective city, venturing down the highway of life. Was he scared? I’m sure inside he was. Wouldn’t you be? Aren’t we all? Testing out our tools and spiritual knowledge is like taming the wild beast of fear which we all experience. That is where Strength comes in. We were all born with strength, even if we feel shaky and nervous. Remember the Wizard of Oz, and the cowardly Lion going to the Wizard to get strength? What did he learn? That he had it all along, just like you and I do. Think of your life and how you have or have not used your strength. Did someone give it to you, or maybe teach you where to find it? Some people live in fear, which sometimes develop into phobias. They are told to “act as if “they were brave, pretending until they actually felt their courage. This takes much practice.

The Lion is colored red which depicts passion. What are your passions? Are you afraid of them? Do you take the safe road instead of being daring like the fool? Leo is represented by the Sun and it rules the 5th house of our astrology charts. One of the meanings of the 5th house is creativity and play. Are you so stressed, overworked and fearful that you don’t play anymore? “I don’t have time to play,” I hear many say. That is an example of being unbalanced. Like the ruling planet, the Sun, Leo strength represents coming out, breaking through. What kind of breakthroughs do you want in your life? Become strong like the Sun and shine through your problems, which are like strong, dense energy forces. Give yourself new life, new ways to solve your problems, so you, too, can feel more creative and alive.

Leo also represents ruler ship. Who rules you or who do you rule? Strong, balanced people don’t need to rule anyone, nor do they allow themselves to be ruled. Strength comes from within and is based on knowing ourselves, believing in ourselves and being able to balance our lives between work, play, creativity and our inner spirituality. If we learn to be creative problem solvers, life would run smoother and we’d have more time for fun. So instead of fighting our beast within, we can begin learning to tame it inside ourselves. How do we do that?

We begin to realize that despite stress, family problems, illness, lack of any kind that with our Angel’s and Guide’s help we find the courage to keep going. Instead of fighting change, try to see life as an adventure and play with new ideas. Welcome new opportunities and see everything as a chance to grow and learn. Balance is dancing with the harmony of life, balancing our inner and outer selves. No it isn’t always easy, and I’m not implying that it is. But with patience, gradually beginning to change the way we view life, and practice – lots of practice, we can transform our lives so we are happier, more creative, attract love, peace and abundance to us. Can you imagine your life being that happy? You have the fortitude, inner strength, courage, passion, wisdom, endurance and patience within IF you want to tap into these God-given gifts.

Strength’s Advice:

Become more courageous
Be creative, state your ideas
Establish your territory, your boundaries, and act magically
Be yourself, its time to break through and create
Find your place of strength and create your power spot
Be the artist of your own life, so use your imagination and be creative.

Are you excited yet by your possibilities? Next week we will make friends with the Hermit. He has an interesting story to tell.

Pay your bills with Joy

I can hear you now, "what, is she crazy? I hate paying bills! How can anyone pay their bills joyfully?"

Now that you've expressed your skepticism, let me explain. Do you want to be prosperous, attract abundance, have more than enough to pay your bills? Of course you do!

Here is an exercise that works for me. When I sit down to write out checks, it gives me a chance to really tune in and think about how truly prosperous I really am. I feel the abundance in my life, the true, unfailing wealth that is my inheritance.

"How can you feel rich when you're sitting there writing checks that are depleting your bank account," you ask? Good question, let me explain.

First of all, I believe in a rich universe where there is no lack! Second I know I am a child of the all-encompassing, creative Universe, so I'm automatically heir to all this goodness and wealth. But so are you, brother, sister, friend of all good!

Ok now that we understand who we are, let's move to the next step.

You may even be asking why is the economy in the pits right now? It isn't because there isn't enough but more because of greed and mismanagement and FEAR. Fear always blocks our good.

Now you may be asking, "If I'm so rich why am I struggling to pay my bills?" Or, "why am I driving around in a beat up old car," or "why don't I have my dream home?"

Because you haven't been thinking of yourself as an enlightened, rich, dynamic child of God! You've probably been limiting yourself, believing you don't deserve. I'm not being judgmental but maybe you're focusing on what you don't have, what is lacking in your life. I know I've been there many times. I've been scared and started dwelling on lack. What did I create but more lack. Instead we have to start looking around at what we do have and start giving thanks. Being grateful and giving thanks opens our vibrations up to receiving more. So we can give thanks for our blessings no matter how small. Remember how Jesus blessed the small amount of loaves and fishes before they multiplied? This is what He was teaching.

So when I write checks I mentally visualize 100 times that amount coming back to me and I play with ideas about what I'm going to do with all that money. Say I paid a phone bill for $80. I hold the check in my hand and see $8,000 coming back to me, or visualizing an extra $8,000 in my account. I affirm it is here, meeting all my needs, wishes, goals and what I'd do with it. Then I bless everyone the check touches from the mail person to the book keeper who deposits it. This keeps me from feeling like I'm losing $80 because I just paid the bill. Of course I keep track of my bills and accounts and don't run out and spend $8000, that would be stupid. You can do this even if you're paying bills online. Just imagine this money doubled or tripled coming back to you. At first you may not be able to visualize 100 times the amount coming back so start with ten times and work your way up to 100. But above all, enjoy yourself! Have fun with this exercise and tell me how it worked for you.

Happy Prosperity !
