ONE THING THAT IS SO EXCITING RIGHT NOW
Yes, that's right
angel
cards! Hear me out.
I haven't always been an angel card girl. In fact when my
friend Henriette Mantel (who wrote/directed/EP'd
the acclaimed Ralph
Nader doc, go Henriette!) gave me a deck of the Angel
Cards
shortly after I moved from NY to LA I thought they were a
gag
gift. Welcome to Lala land.
The angel cards
seemed so light weight. If I needed divining, or
guidance, I'd be more apt to reach for the very serious and
studious and possibly stentourous except I'm not exactly sure
what that means, I Ching. (Now I hear "lightweight" and I
light
up on the word light.) Plus like with most things "angel" the
art work is sooo goofy. And I'm an art snob. So absolutely
not open to
angels. But why blame the angels? Just because humans
can't reproduce multi-dimmensional energy fields in two
dimmensions. But I did. Angels were where I drew my woo
woo line in the sand.
Then one dillemma filled day I didn't have time for the I
Ching. And my 8
Ball
was acting up. And there the angel cards were. With a word
of wisdom. So succinct! I was in. Over the
next few years a
conversation developed. They would often give me the same
card over
and over till I got the point. Still, I didn't really think of the
force behind them as angels. I
thought of them as the universe.
And then I went to Vegas. I went as a reporter, and came
back a believer. I was covering The Hay House "I Can Do It!"
convention for the Satellite Sisters and so
rather than just
attending all the lectures by Hay House authors I got to
interview them. And healers don't want to talk, they want to
heal. So I'm having an angel healing in a corridor in the
Venetian Hotel, roulette tables right over there, the
McDonald's corporate event right over here, and Doreen Virtue
(real name) is
telling me my angels say this that and do I have
any questions? And I tell her well, I've had a
pain in my back for a few years.
You have a
huge psychic dagger in your back, she says after a few
seconds of quiet concentration. Really??!! Do
you want me to
remove it? Um, yes! A few seconds pass, she doesn't seem
to be doing anything. Ok, it's out she says.
And... my back got better. It was just the power of
suggestion
people say. Ok, maybe. But you know who else had
suggested
my back was better? My chirpractor, all my yoga teachers, a
few masseusses, two accupuncturists and my mom. Ok. I'm
in on the angels, who according to those in the know, are
here full force helping with the light and love that is part of
the transformation that is really what is so exciting right
now!
But even so sometimes I'm so dense. I've been picking the
'release' card from my angel card deck. Never got it before.
And now,
it's always one of the three. (I can't narrow the angels down
to one word!). And today it dawned on me that I've been
picking 'release' right now, as my book is being released!
That as much as I want to move on to new projects, this is
what is happening right now. Be here now. Release the need
to move on. Be awake to this moment of release. Divine
Intervention? I don't know. But definitely funny! Oh
those angels have such a good sense of humor! And really
help me stay plugged in to what is so
exciting right now.
