You have made plans for your life, you know which direction you are moving, you do your best to stay happy and treat your sacred vessel accordingly but, sometimes, The Universe has other plans.  Prior to your arrival, you and I had a conversation.  There were certain things you asked to experience, but some of you may have ‘misplaced the memo’. (Smiling)
Because of this, you may feel as if you are being punished…..I do not do that.
You may feel I do not hear you or you are being ignored….I do not do that either.
Your experiences and your journey are just that, yours.  It is a co-operative effort between your soul and The Universe.  Keep the lines of communication open and, even if it was not what you were intending for yourself, remember that you are always learning. ~ Creator

Dear Ones, your evolution process is about finding your way into greater balance. Balance in your relationships with others. Balance with your relationship with yourself. Balance by embracing both your human and spiritual sides. And balance with your service so that your efforts empower and uplift everyone involved. ~Archangel Gabriel

God said:

Did you grow up hearing dutiful refrains running through your ears, such as:

"First eat your vegetables. Then, after, have your dessert. Not before."

"Get your work done first. Then you can go out and play."

"Frivolity is frivolous. Idle hands get you into trouble."

"Hold on to your money. Don't waste your time nor money on foolishness."

Did you grow up with the idea that joy best comes later? Did you grow up with the idea that joy of all kinds is to be denied you until a vague later time yet to be announced? When exactly you don't know. Just later some time. And so your joy has been pinched, and you may still restrict joy until some day, and some day may never come.

My children are not meant to be in harness and trudge along heavy-footed. Be light of heart and light of foot. May joy be your password into work or play. Why not?

It's possible that children have the right idea. Joy first. Joy is a forerunner to everything. Restricting yourself may take away joy and sadden your dreams.

Instruct yourself in the idea that joy is your winning number. Deferring joy is not a virtue.

The difficulty with being heavy-handed about life is that you get stuck in seriousness. Sometimes it seems that you believe too much in the concept that, before you can have joy, you have to suffer. The idea has been expressed that you must suffer before you can be beautiful.

Dear Ones, we wish for you to understand that just because there may be energetic influences going on around you that others find difficult, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you will be experiencing it the same way. You are all unique beings with your own different individual energetic stamps. It is good to educate yourself so you understand that a time that could be energetically challenging for some is coming up, so if you do feel not like yourself you know there is a good reason for it.

By knowing what is going on, you are far less likely to be resistant and hard on yourself and will simply give yourself whatever you know you intuitively need. There are many human beings who are sharing this energetic and astrological information as their service to humanity. We recommend you find a source that resonates with you that you can refer to as required. Think of it as an energetic weather report, to help you be aware of potentials.

By far, the greatest way to move through any challenge is one Now moment at a time, with a focus on surrender, flow, and ease. It is also important to remember that times of intensity pass and will be forgotten as soon you are on to your next energetic adventure. These are the very times you have come onto the planet to experience, and you have everything you need to both navigate them and harness the wonderful growth, evolution, expansion, and assistance that comes from it all. ~Archangel Gabriel
