Dear Ones, if you are feeling overwhelmed it is so important to prioritize giving yourself exactly what you need. Take a moment to check in with yourself. What do you need? Intuitively you will know. Allow yourself to be the expert on you.

When you are feeling overwhelmed, your energetics are letting you know that they are in need of some extra support. You may be attempting to integrate new energies and require specific elements such as rest, certain foods, or activities to help with that process. You may be releasing, which will also present with requirements unique to you. Or you may simply be healing, which might require just a little extra tender care.

If you try to power through things, you make the process more difficult on yourself. Because your body is trying to move you into greater balance and you are not giving it what you need, you can be prone to emotional outbursts or actions that make you act out. This can complicate the process unnecessarily because if you become reactive you also will feel regret afterwards, throwing even more energy on the pile to be dealt with.

Making good energetic self care a priority during times of great change will ensure you shift with the energies the most effective way possible, as well as creating the space for you to show up as your highest selves, to serve and assist others, and to help anchor greater balance, peace, love, and stability on your planet. ~Archangel Gabriel

Every student loves a snow day, an unexpected day off from school. An unexpected day off from responsibility. What has changed? A day is a day is a day. Yet, when you get a day off, you may feel that you have won the lottery.

What has really changed is that you expect more joy now! A day in Earth terms is twenty-four hours, yet now you have a bonus. The idea of a day off lights your fire. An ordinary day has suddenly become a marvelous day.

It takes so little really for you to be happy, doesn’t it?

Somehow We want to make it so every day is a day off from strain and what others may want of you or even demand of you. You would love some days just to be! What is all this about fulfilling other people's desires and little left over for what you personally desire?

No one may have asked you what you want. You yourself may not know what you want and what makes you happy. You know a lot about what doesn't make you happy.

Here's one word that makes you happy: Opportunity.

And what does opportunity mean? It means you are free to explore, to wonder, to ponder, to find something today that rewards you for simply being you as you are and you as you desire to be.

When was the last time someone wanted to hear what you think, what you really think, and not what Copernicus or some expert far away from you thought once upon a time. You would like to know what you think.

You are in the throes of change, both personally and collectively. During times of profound change, it can often seem like things are getting worse. Many, many things are being brought up into your awareness for transformation. Do not lose hope, Dear Ones! The fact that things seem to be intensifying is not an indicator that things are heading in the wrong direction, rather that they can no longer be ignored in their desire to be healed. It is a sign that not only is change truly possible, it is happening.

Let us give you an example of worse before better. Think of when your body has caught a common virus. When you are first infected, you don’t realize it. That is the most dangerous time, when the virus is flooding your body undetected. Then your body moves into awareness that something is going on, and responds with a fever. You recognize extra care is required and you focus on what is needed to move back into wellness. You are actually healing the most when you are feeling the worst. Then you come out the other side of the illness with an immune system that will remember what it has healed beyond so it becomes a non-issue. You have created a new template for wellness.

If you are asked what your greatest gift to your Earth plane is, each of you would have a different answer.  The best part?  Each one of your answers is true! Please keep in mind that it is not necessary for you to agree if one thing/thought/action is better than another.  It is necessary for you to see each other’s truth as true within their personal perspective.  Love and embrace your differences…it is what makes you the same in your loving. ~ Creator

Sadness is somewhat like an old bathrobe that feels oh so comfortable to you. You've had it forever, worn it again and again. It holds sentimental value. How you want to keep this old bathrobe. You like to hold on to the past, even its sadness. Sometimes, especially its sadness.

Does this old bathrobe gave meaning to your life as it spotlights sadness? You don't want to part with sadness even as you wish you didn't have it. Of course, you could live without this remnant from the past. You can live without it, yet you don't.

You haven't been quite able to pack this old relic into the attic trunk. Nope, you seem to desire to make past sadness easily available when you happen to want to bring it out for old time's sake.

Somehow you relegate tears to this old bathrobe as if the tears were valuable diamonds. This old thing has worn well in the sense that it doesn't look so raggedy that you must throw it out right away. Your eyes mist over the holes the robe is full of.

This bathrobe from the old days never was beautiful. You never quite saw it as it really was, and so you hang onto this bathrobe of sadness now as though it were special. This bathrobe is a dime a dozen. Such bathrobes hang in many closets. They hang in too many closets.

You really can move out that old bathrobe now. Don't hang it in your closet any longer. What do you think you need it for anyway? You are already an expert on sadness. Your life really comes down to more than a piece of old cloth.
