Celebrate this day - it is our Freedom day!

-



July 4th is my favorite holiday of the year. On this day we celebrate our country, our people, its triumphs, its mistakes, its learning process. This is a day when Americans come together to celebrate their freedoms. 

Yes, we have freedoms. Yes, we voice our rights. 

I grew up in California. We moved up and down the California Coast. Talk about diversity. I met Mexicans, Asians, Middle Eastern, European, African people. Through our moves and learned about where they came from. The hardships they experienced in their countries of origin, which made me appreciate more about being an American. 

When I was going to cosmetology school there were a couple of sisters from Iran enrolled there too. They had been in the U.S. for about a year. They were applying for citizenship. They told me about not being able to go anywhere without a male escort, not being able to have a say in how they wanted their lives, education or who they might marry while living in Iran. They were not poor, as far as prosperity, they were poorly heard and poorly treated. They were possessions to be dealt out as their father and uncles  decided. 

A Filipino friend of mine escaped the Philippines during Marcos reign, without his father. His father and his uncle had been shot in front of him for having an opinion. 

African people having to leave their homes for fear of the governments and what they were doing to the people of the country. 

These people were so relieved to be here, to be safe, to see a better future for themselves and their families. 

This is a country where we can voice our opinions and make our futures. It is up to us to make it happen. 

I love the Fourth of July because it reminds me I am able to have my career, live where I want and do what I want. I can write this blog without fear of what I might write. 

Yes, this country still needs us to maintain it, it still needs us to direct it. This country was created for US and by US. 

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness
  
Let's live that truth! I encourage everyone to live your lives, don't be afraid of change as change is inevitable! Change is good and if you do not like what is going on you have the right to change it. Go do it! Give yourself permission to do so. 

Celebrate this day - it is our Freedom day! 

In Gratitude,

  Archangel Michael & Archeia Faith Archangels and angels are created to serve the Creator and Mankind. In other words the angels are our helpers, they help us, by different kinds of guidance. When you receive guidance, remember to say thank you.  You do not have to elaborate, leave offerings or anything like that as the Angels were created to assist our Creator and us Humans, Be polite, say thank you.  Archeia are the divine feminine Archangels. Most of the archeia are compliments for Archangels.  Remember not to humanize Angels. They are Angels, we are humans, totally different living beings.  The angels do not punish, or force a way of being. Angels assist us with raising our resonance. Angels are not religious, they are love.  You don’t need to worship the angels to accept guidance for you.  All you have to do is say thank you.  Archangel Michael & Archeia Faith are the Archangels in charge of the Guardian angels.

Gratitude - Gratitude, thankfulness or gratefulness, from the Latin word gratus "pleasing, thankful", is a feeling of appreciation felt by and/or similar positive response shown by the recipient of kindness, gifts, help, favors, or other types of generosity, to the giver of said gifts.  The difference between Gratitude & Thankful  The Oxford Dictionary defines the word thankful as “pleased and relieved.” Both of those are great feelings. ... The Oxford Dictionary defines the word grateful as “showing an appreciation of kindness.” This is where the difference lies; being thankful is a feeling, and being grateful is an action.  When I lived in Colorado, my friend Vicki taught me about being present with my gratitudes. She helped me rewire my brain to help me be open to receive what life had to offer. We started writing our gratitudes/Intentions - keeping journals. As word smiths we were able to write some pretty lines, lines that resonated with us to help us with ...

Knowing Your Worth

A couple of weeks ago I had a very interesting conversation with one of my colleagues. We were discussing the different rates that some of some of the different energy workers.  There seems to be some who have opinions that rates may be exorbitant with some of the healers, energy workers or mediums. I gave myself a few days to think about the conversation and get clear on what I thought about the differences in rates. My opinion is those with integrity and get results should charge what they feel is appropriate.  The Equal Exchange of Energy - Remember? There may be some rates are so high that the middle class or lessor cannot afford them. What if this energy work is just for those of the upper class? Maybe this expensive energy work is for those people who assist with 'making our world a better place?' I am thankful for this.  Perhaps this energy work will help those who make great decisions for the masses, instead of just for the self. Does that make sen...
