Trusting Signs of Love from Above

A couple of days ago, my son asked me to pray for him about a specific area of his life. I was on it, let me tell you! It was an honor to be asked and did my Momma's heart a world of good.

I was so grateful for the trust and privilege he bestowed upon me as he shared his heartful request.

That same day during my weekly free angel readings, we received the Divine Guidance and Power messages from The Healing with the Angels deck by Doreen Virtue.

One of the attendees received the message of signs (see image below) and prompted a discussion of the many ways angels try to get our attention.

Feathers, coins, lyrics of songs, birds, butterflies, and repetitive or unique number sequences are just a few examples of signs of love from above.

This card is Signs from the Healing with The Angels card deck by Doreen Virtue. You can join us for free weekly mini-angel readings in the Angel Angles Angel Circle of Gratitude group on Facebook.

While making the bed today, I was thinking of my son and praying for him and his special request, and lo and behold; I found a dime in the bedding.

Coins are often a sign of love from above for me and hold a special place in my heart. I could have easily dismissed it as it had only fallen from my husband's pocket or discounted its importance.

Instead, I filled my heart full of love and gratitude for the miracle of finding this sign of love from above seconds after sending my petition heavenward.  

I delight in the miracles and synchronicities I find during my day. A favorite quote about miracles for me is by Albert Einstein.

"There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle." - Albert Einstein

This special gift from the Angels is delighting my heart today, friends. I trust the best and highest is on the way for my son and am so grateful for this sign of love from above.

What are some of your favorite signs of love from above that the Angels send your way? I'd love to hear. You can post your answers in the comments section below or email me at Janette@angel-angles.com.

Blessings for a beautiful day full of love, joy, and peace.

Love,

Janette

Bouncing Back and Flourishing

We've all lived through challenging times these past two and a half years. You have experienced so much. Make sure you celebrate your perseverance and strength, dear heart.

You are not the same person you were at the beginning of 2020. These difficult conditions have honed your resiliency.

I looked up the definition of resilience in the dictionary (yes, I do use a real, old-school dictionary) frequently. I'm forever looking up words I've not heard of before or if I'm unsure of their meaning or usage. I love words and am a self-described "word nerd." Maybe you can relate. *smile*

Anyway, the word resilient is defined as "recovering readily, as from adversity or illness, buoyant, springing back after compression or stretching, elastic." Seems like a great definition we can identify with, especially after these past two years.

I've been watching a tree in the neighborhood during my morning walks. The majority of the tree’s interior is missing and yet, she stands tall and thrives. See her photo below. She is the epitome of resilience.

See how much of this tree’s interior is missing due to disease, injury or accident? Still she thrives and continues to bounce back and flourish. Great lesson for us all. <3

Like this tree, we are all looking to bounce back, recover readily and stand firm when things are tough. One of the ways I do this is by selecting a word of the year. It is my guidepost and beacon of how I want to live each day. This practice has increased my resiliency.

During 2019, I journeyed with pancreatic cancer, which helped hone my inner strength as I concentrated hour-by-hour on healing.

My word of the year for 2019 was Flourish. Each day, sometimes many times during the day, I would focus on how I could best flourish at that moment.

Sometimes flourishing while feeling nauseous, when my hair was falling out, and when nothing tasted "right," looked like resting, taking an antinausea pill, reaching out to a loved one or friend, or knowing and trusting that brighter days were ahead.

That mindset, along with my fantastic medical support team and the hosts of family, friends, and strangers who supported my family and me during those scary days, helped forge my complete healing and enabled me to recover, thrive and become stronger and more resilient than ever before.

I am so grateful to be here today to share my story and to celebrate the miracle of my healing. In fact, my words of the year for 2020 was Celebrate, and for 2021 was Miracles. Each day during those two years, I looked for ways I could celebrate or find a miracle. It's a marvelous way to live.

My word of the year for 2022 is Wonder and daily I'm on the lookout for it. Sometimes, it's something beautiful I see, experience, or ponder. I like to take a daily walk out in nature and capture a picture of something lovely and occasionally share my wonder with others.

I appreciate you reading my story, and I'd like to share more about being resilient and living your best life.

Joyful Living Requires Bravery

Even when the rest of the world seems to be falling apart before your very eyes, don’t feel guilty for feeling and exuding your joy. Your joy is a beacon of hope for others, especially during challenging times. And oh boy, have times been challenging for us all.

Joyful living requires us to be brave. Brave enough to choose joy and shine our brightest despite what is happening around us.

Joy is the core of who you really are. Joy is your birthright, and joy is your essence. It’s also a contagion for good.

We knew this truth as children before we were tamed by society. We moved with joy and frolicked. We’d skip around from place to place just for the sheer pleasure it gave us.

We knew how to delight in the simple pleasures of nature, hello splashing in a puddle, making a wish upon a star, and using our imagination bravely. Remember how that felt? When was the last time you skipped? Do you even remember skipping?

My friend, Pam Bohlken of Healing in Progress and I enjoyed some time frolicking at a wellness retreat in Maryland last month.

Our joy was second nature to us: instinctual, and then we were taught to be still, sit quietly and conform. Joy was slowly groomed out of our lives as we learned  to be “responsible adults.”

At age 12, I remember shutting down my inner child when I became a woman thinking, Now that I’m a woman, I’d better act like one, and I put my inner joy, my zest for life, that spark of divine goodness, behind a locked and dreary door that no one could access.

Your joy is a beacon of hope for others, especially during challenging times, and oh boy, have times been challenging for us all.

Here’s my favorite quote about joy.

“It’s not just that your purpose is joy, it is that you are joy. You are love and joy and freedom and clarity expressing. Energy-frolicking and eager. That’s who you are.

And so, if you’re always reaching for alignment with that, you’re always on your path, and your path will take you into all kinds of places.”
Abraham Hicks

A way to bravely live my joy is to swing at a park. Yes, swinging in a public park when others are nearby. I love to swing, and it gives me a sense of freedom. By being brave and enjoying the gift of swinging, even if I look silly to others, I can inspire others to live more courageously and do what they love.

I encourage you to live your life joyfully by doing what lights you up. Maybe today, you’ll do one thing to spark that joy in your own life.

Joy is different than happiness. Happiness is fleeting and depends on outer circumstances, and joy is a deep-seated inner spark of divine goodness. It is possible to live joyfully amid struggle, illness and hardship. I know it’s true because I’ve experienced that joy many times during challenging times, including when my precious brother was dying and during my healing journey with pancreatic cancer in 2019.

Want to find out more and cultivate extra joy in your life? I invite you to join in my online monthly donation-based event, The Secret Garden of Joy, in partnership with The Wellness Universe, where we’ll focus on joyous living for an hour as we leave the world behind to discover, explore, and dream.

Blessings of love, joy, and peace.

11:11 and All is Well: 11 Meanings for 11-11

Just what does 11:11, 11/11, or 1111 mean? Do you see this or other repetitive numbers often? If so, stay tuned, and we’ll explore the meaning.

Today is November 11 or 11/11. It is also Veteran’s Day or Armistice Day. World War II was officially ended in the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1945.

Today is a personal favorite of mine because it’s our son’s birthday. He was born in the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month and weighed almost 11 pounds (10 lb. 12 oz.) I see 11:11 nearly every day. I see 1:11 often, I can’t tell you how many times I have 111 unread emails. So, what does it mean?

According to angel numbers and numerology, 11:11 means many things. I’m sharing 11 things because I couldn’t help myself:

1. Pay attention, awaken

2. You are one with life

3. Live in Light

4. Creativity and genius

5. A fresh start and new beginnings

6. Big things are in store

7. Your dreams are being made manifest

8. Balance and synchronicity

9. A portal or doorway to trust

10. Your angels are sending a message

11. All is well; you are on the right path

When I see 11:11, I think of my son and send a blessing. I also thank God for the gift of his life and how grateful I am to be his mom. I usually think or say, “11:11, and all is well.”

Another visual I remember when seeing the number 11 is from my friend Moira Hutchison: Intuition Cultivator, and Mindset Mentor, showing us her index fingers of both hands with the hands apart, saying 1 and 1, the Universe and me and bringing the fingers side by side forming the close connection showing the number 11 as we are one with the Universe, we are not alone, the Universe and we are one. A compelling image indeed. Maybe it resonates with you also. You may want to visualize that image next time you see the number 11.

What do you think of when you see 11:11?

Do you also see other repetitive numbers? If so, pay attention to those numbers and google their meaning as you are being guided. Repetitive numbers are definitely signs of love from above, and warrant our attention.

We have lots of repetitive numbers in our family:

• Grandma was born on 4-4

• My Husband was born on 10-10

• Son was born on 11-11

• Sister and I share the same birthday, 3-26, and we are not twins (I’m five years older), and our great-grandmother was also born on 3-26

I’ve always loved numbers and numerology, and angel numbers fascinate me. As an angelic practitioner, many people I serve are on the lookout for signs that they are on the right track and are loved, supported, and protected.

So, what other things are signs of love from above and warrant our attention?

Here is a list of ways the angels send us messages:

• Feathers

• Coins

• Songs

• Repetitive numbers, thoughts, or ideas

• Snippets of conversation we overhear

• Synchronicities

• Birds, dragonflies, butterflies, or other gifts of nature that fill us with awe

• The scents of roses or other sweet fragrances

• Intuitive guidance

• Inner knowing

Feathers are often signs of love from above sent to get our attention. What other symbols do you frequently find?

Enjoy your 11/11 and next time you see 11:11 or the number 11 perhaps this article may spark the sense of you being on the right path, that you are not alone and there is lots of divine goodness grace for you.

I offer 1:1 angel sessions that benefit people seeking guidance, clarity, or direction. I invite you to find out more if it resonates with you.

Blessings of love, joy, and peace.

Love,

Janette
