The Winner is-A World of Kindness

With the Academy awards now come and gone, The Posse of Angels and I were thrilled at several of the nominated films and performances. We took note that last year’s crop of movies had wonderful shared themes running through them of acceptance, tolerance and inclusion; which are the recipe for a kinder, gentler world.      The film “Hidden Figures” told the story of three mathematical geniuses. African American women, who worked for Nasa in the 1950’s and helped put the first man into space, yet were not allowed to use ‘white’ bathrooms nor drink out of the same coffee urns as their white colleagues.       “Loving” was the story of an inter-racial couple in the 50’s, Richard and Mildred Loving who broke the law in Virginia when they married and were imprisoned and made to leave their families and the state. They fought the injustice all the way to the Supreme Court which eventually ruled that marriage is an inherent right for all to determine who they wish to marry regardless of race, religion, culture or creed.      The extraordinary film “Moonlight” which won best picture, tells the timeless story of human connection and finding oneself, under extremely harsh circumstances. The film chronicles the life of a young black man struggling to find his place in the world surrounded by rough Miami neighborhoods and growing up with a crack addicted mother.       And the wonderful Australia film “Lion”, about a five-year-old Indian boy who gets lost on the streets of Calcutta, thousands of kilometers from home. He survives many challenges before being adopted by a couple in Australia, and years later, he sets out to find his lost family.      In each one of these movies, there was someone who dared to defy and challenge the conventional mores of the times and took a stand to do the right thing, the humane thing by showing kindness and compassion.       This theme of kindness was not only highlighted in the films, but real life reflected the films themes of unity and tolerance by many in the Dolby Theater wearing bright blue ribbons. These very noticeable ribbons were worn to build awareness and show support for the American Civil Liberties Union, and its untiring fight for basic human rights. Since 1920, the ACLU has offered tireless, nonpartisan commitment to protecting individual rights and liberties guaranteed by the constitution and U.S. Law. It has been very much in the forefront of recent news with the banning of refugees from seven Muslim-majority nations and by tirelessly fighting for LGBTQ equality.       This symbol of solidarity with the ACLU acknowledged those in the courts, legislatures and everyday individuals in our communities who wish to have a kinder more inclusive world and to ensure that our precious freedoms and values are preserved.       Like water quenching the thirst of a dying plant, these stirring, inspiring images and stories left many with a feeling of being nourished and fed by a message that touched deep within their souls. Perhaps, it was because each of these films was based on a true story. And if one person can take a stand for what is right and good in this world, then this reflects on how each and every one of us can make a difference in our worlds.      When it comes to practicing kindness, The Posse of Angels recently gave me a big reminder of how important it is to be not only kind and respectful to others, but to be kind to ourselves.        On a recent trip to Australia, I was strolling the beautiful oceanside town of Albany, Western Australia when I came across a homewares and clothing store down by the water. Walking into this beautiful shop, I saw a striking young woman, about 5ft 8in with beautiful long red hair. Greeting me cordially, I browsed the racks and chose a dress to try on in the fitting room. As there was no mirror in the change room, I stepped outside the curtain to view myself in the full-length mirror. As I was looking at myself in rather an uncertain way, the young woman said, “What is it that you are uncertain about the dress?” I immediately launched into an explanation of how I liked the color, but I usually did not wear cap sleeves as sleeveless dresses gave the impression of giving me more height. I continued that the neckline was very high and that I only wore V-neck or scoop necklines and that it was a much longer length then I was used to for my shape. Listening intently to my many criticisms, the sales woman, Jocelyn, nodded and then replied, “I’d like to tell you what happened this morning. When I came to work today, my boss handed me a pair of white pants and told me that I had to wear them all day. Before today, I have never worn white pants as I feel that white makes my rear end look big.” I could not believe what she was saying as she might have been a size 4 or a size 6. She continued, “As I am always telling my customers to take a risk and get out of their comfort zone, I put on the white pants and felt so self-conscious for the first two hours. Yet, after a while, I began to see how flattering they were and now that it is the end of the day, I feel comfortable and beautiful in them.      Still eyeing myself in the dress, Jocelyn said, “Can I tell you the first thing that I noticed about you when you entered the store?” and I said yes please I’d like to know. She then said, “The first thing I saw was not your height nor your body shape, it was your beaming face and your beautiful smile.”      We each have the capacity to choose kindness in our lives and if we can start with being kind to ourselves, then we will be more likely to be kind to others, and experience a world full of kindness.

The Blessing Of Living In A Supportive Universe

Do you feel supported by the Universe?
Having approached the past 11 years with a deep knowing that the
Universe always has my back and truly desires that which I desire, I rest comfortably
knowing that I am abundant, guided, protected and loved more than I can possibly imagine. Yet, this was not always the case.
Before January 2003, I lived in a restrictive prison of fear and
contrast that I had built for myself to uncomfortably reside in.

By consciously freeing myself from this restrictive illusion and only
choosing positive energies, I noticed something rather magical started to
happen. The bright, confident frequency that was held within my heart
radiated out and opened me up to optimistically receive, which then
created a reality that positively and enthusiastically gave to me. By
holding only the highest of energies, I connect with my Divine
eternal nature and experience my original crystalline essence.


The Posse of Angels is reminding us that a crystalline being is fully
aware of their alchemical, magician's ability to bend their reality to suit
their intentions, creating the life that they desire most.The deliberate
creation of life begins to reflect a regular flow of amazing synchronisities

and highly unlikely occurrences.

For instance, the day before our recent move, Pete and I realised that
the moving van we booked for 9am had to park on our side of the street
and there is no parking there on Wednesdays between 8-12 because of
street sweeping. In addition, the Culver City police are among the best and most
 vigilant when it comes to writing parking tickets. Knowing that things always
work out for us, we released expectations and waited for the moving van
to turn up.


At 9:30, a half and hour late, we caught sight of the moving van
coming down our street. As it went to the end of the block to turn
around, inthat moment, miraculously the street sweeper appeared
right in front of the moving van, swept in front of our house and
continued on, as the moving van followed and parked in front of
our house. I say it was miraculous because for the past 4 years the street
sweeper always comes down our street closer to noon and on this
particular day, he chose to sweep our street early. In addition, for the
whole time that the moving van was there, no police appeared!

Having established an energetic practice of being grateful that thing
always work out for me in wonderful ways, they do. This got me pondering
if I am in the minority in being supported by the Universe? If perchance you
answered my opening question with a "NO!" as you feel like the Universe
does not support you, think again.


The Posse of Angels is reminding us that whether we are conscious
of it or not, the Universe has always been supportive to everyone and it
does not differentiate and play favourites. No matter who we are, the
Universe has always wanted exactly that which we desired and the
funny thing is, it did everything to support us in the manifestation and
attainment of those desires.

But most of humanity has not seen the physical manifestation of their
wishes because of the perpetuation of energies such as doubt; worry, lack
and limitation that were in direct contrast to our Divine abundant natures.
With the perpetuation of this discordance within us, as we clung to all the
reasons as to why our dreams could not be filled, the Universe then supported
us in our energetic endeavours and sent us more reasons as to why our
desires did not manifest.

And just like the Universe supports me with my sunny bright
outlook, it also supports others, who perhaps are not so positive
and optimistic.

Last week. I was driving on the infamous 405 freeway with a car
load of boxes to take to our new home. The word 'freeway' which is
used to describe this stretch of road is at times a misnomer; as on
many occasions, there is no freedom as one experiences only gridlock.
Having snail-crawled past an abandoned car causing all kinds of snarls,
I looked off in the distance and caught sight of a man walking on the shoulder.
As I inched closer, I could see a rather unhappy fellow with a deep scowl,
carrying a gasoline can and I knew that it was he who had abandoned his
car in order to get fuel. With his speed of walking faster than I was driving,
I had the opportunity to read his T-Shirt.

On the front was a big circle, which had two crosses for eyes and a
very sad frown. Above the face in big bold letters read the word "NIRVANA"
and at the bottom of the face was the word "NOT!" And underneath
were the words, "Sh*t Happens!"

Knowing that this week's topic was going to be about the blessing
of a supportive Universe, I thought that this was a perfect example of
the Universe co-creating and matching this fellow's energy.

And The Posse of Angels can hear some of your thoughts, perhaps
thinking, "But that is not fair, as it is just a T-Shirt and he does not have
a clue about consciously choosing his energies." And The Posse of Angels
is replying, "You're absolutely correct.The Universe is not fair, nor is it unfair.

The Universe is always supportive as it is constantly bringing us more
of the energy we choose to focus on and perpetuate, regardless of whether
it is positive or negative. I guess the biggest turn around that I had in my
life 11 years ago was that I chose not to make excuses anymore as to why
I should not be supported and began to support myself. I chose to live by
the principle, "The best always happens to me; as I expect the best without
having expectations."

And magically, when I started to positively support myself in
following the path of the fulfilment of my dreams; it did not take
long for the Universe to then get on board and positively support me.

Here's hoping that your gas tank is alway full!

Love and Angel Blessings,

Let Go of Fear and Live The Life Of Your Dreams

I don’t know about you, but I am very excited about this much spoken about month of April. For those of us who have honored and respected our lives, we will experience a magical month indeed. The Posse of Angels is reminding us that unexpected opportunities and connections will manifest in physical form in order for us to begin to fulfill our intentions of stepping forward into our dreams. And there is a big difference between those that take advantage of these connections, and those that let these chances go by. The difference is that those who will take advantage of the opportunities will allow their commitment to their dreams to be of greater consequence, than any fear that they may choose to have. The dictionary definition of fear is that it’s an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause us harm or pain, or is a threat. And if fear is a belief that we have had programmed and educated into us, then with our free will, we can choose to go beyond our fears and educate them out of our lives by simply not choosing to believe in them. And this is precisely what The Posse of Angels wishes to address today, letting go of fear in order to live our dreams. Choosing to be so committed to our heartfelt desires so that no fear whatsoever will stop us. Yet fear of stepping forward and sabotaging our dreams may not be obvious, as I helped a client of mine discover. A lovely client and Reiki student of mine is one of the most gifted and talented spiritual Teachers that I know. Several years ago, she experienced gang violence when she was shot and a Dr. told her that she would never walk again. Not liking her Doctors prognosis, she got a second, third, fourth and fifth opinion and each Doctor told her the same thing that she would not walk again. While speaking with her physical therapist , he told her that there was hope and a chance for her to walk again. Choosing to align herself with this hope, she went through grueling physical therapy. By not taking no for an answer and with her iron will and determination, she eventually walked again. And if walking again was not enough of a success, she is an inspiration as she has gone on to become a physical fitness trainer. She is a remarkable teacher because she has taken the hardships and adversities in her life, learned from them and gone on to affect her world; not with hatred, anger and revenge, but with great love, compassion and forgiveness. And even with overcoming this enormous physical challenge, because of her fear and long held issues around worthiness, she sabotages herself in a very sneaky way that stops her from stepping forth and being of service as a Teacher. She is constantly studying and taking course after course for ever more certifications to make herself ‘good enough’ to be a Teacher. Now, The Posse of Angels is reminding us that there is nothing wrong with bettering our minds, and learning things. But there does come a time when we must face our fears and know that we are well taught and have all we need to offer our gifts and abilities to others. What I find amazing is that she physically defied the medical Doctors and walked again and yet her fear of being worthy and measuring up stops her cold in her tracks when it comes to sharing her gifts with others as a Teacher. And I can understand exactly what my student is feeling because there was a time when I was also in fear of teaching. You see, in 2003, I had been well taught as a Reiki Master/Teacher and had established my Healing Practice for over a year, when I received a random call. The caller asked when I would be holding my next class to learn Reiki. As I gave Reiki healing and Intuitive Counseling sessions but had never taught Reiki before, I literally laughed into the phone and said, “Oh you don’t want me, you want my Master Teacher who lives about 2 hours away.” I then gave them her number and hung up. A few minutes later, I received another random call from another person who wanted to study Reiki with me. Again, I giggled and I thought how synchronistic and directed them to my Master Teacher. Well, when God and the Angels want us to do something, they are tenacious and will not give up and keep sending us signs. Over the next few days, I received more calls from people enquiring about studying Reiki with me. The penny finally dropped that a) the Universe was encouraging me to teach even though I had never taught Reiki before and b) that I would have the wherewithal to be a great Teacher. After attuning many hundreds of Reiki Master Teachers and Reiki Practitioners over the last 11 years, teaching Reiki is such a delight and absolute joy for me. But like with anything new, I had to start with my first student and get over my fear and just do it. And The Posse of Angels is nodding their heads and saying that having one’s dreams and stepping forward to living them are two very different things. Many people sabotage themselves from actually living their dreams because everything in their life is not quite right yet or in perfect order. One client of mine who was offered to be host on a TV program said, “I can’t possibly step forward yet, as I have so much more weight to lose.” And if we do play this game of waiting for everything to be perfect in order to live our dreams, it probably will never be the right time. The truth is that God doesn’t listen to what our ideas of how life needs to be before we can step forward into our dreams. He knows that the perfection already exists in the fact that the offering of those opportunities and connections were Divinely given to us. The Posse of Angels is assuring us that when opportunity comes knocking at your door, please know in that instance that you have all the expertise, courage, strength and wherewithal to step forward through that door and share your gifts with others, because God’s grace has allowed it to manifest and appear on your doorstep. And if God believes in me, and presents me with opportunity knocking, that is all the reassurance that I need to walk through the door and live the life of my dreams!

A Life Long Love-Affair with Yourself

With this February newsletter, I thought I would check in with the Posse of Angels and ask them what they thought of the upcoming Valentine’s Day holiday. Well, The Posse of Angels was very amused and they asked me, “Why don’t humans have a National Breathing Day?” and “Why isn’t there a National Beating of your Heart Day?” Breathing and the beating of our hearts are similar to love, as they happen naturally. And most of the time, they occur without us even realizing it. I guess their point is that to love and to be loved is a natural thing that all human beings have, and that we can have love in our lives in any second if we choose to receive it. But most of the time, we are so dead set on preaching to the Universe how love is supposed to be in our lives, that we diminish and close off the possibilities of how and when we can experience love. If we buy into the vision of love perpetuated by the greeting card companies, the chocolate manufacturers, the florists and the jewelers, we can get caught up in a very, commercialized form of love that is built around conditions and expectations. For instance, some of these conditions might have us thinking that: • My partner loves me if he buys me flowers. Or, • If he really loves me, he will buy me flowers and a diamond ring. Or, • If he truly loves me the most, he will buy me flowers, a diamond ring, a new Ferrari and a villa in the South of France. The whole point is that once we start to play this game, it is difficult to know where to stop. Appropriating a single day to show love is so insanely ludicrous because at the most profound depth of whom we are as human beings is the fact that WE ARE LOVE in every single second! In fact, we are so inextricably linked with God that even if we do not think we are love, this connection of divine love always exists underneath any false premise that we choose to perpetuate. And if it is dormant and asleep within us, love can be re-awakened in the blink of an eye. And counter to what all the great romance novels and romantic movies have shown us, love does not happen because of who we are with, love happens because of who we are. But, it can only happen with our permission. Many times, we deny that we are love because we are replaying old programs of believing someone else’s words that caused us to feel not worthy or not deserving of love. But deep within, underneath any negative belief system, the angels want to remind you that you are not only love but you are more beautiful , more powerful and more magnificent than you could ever possibly imagine. In fact, as a child of God, you are loved, not only on a specific day, but in every single second of every single day, every single month and every single year before you were born, since you born and will be forever. This is not dependent on what you are given, what you own, what you drive, what you wear or if you ever produce, create or even if you achieve anything. This love is indisputable, unconditional, constant and un-wavering. How extraordinarily fortunate are you!!! If your life is not representative of these words, it may be because you have forgotten who you are and are allowing external expectations and conditions to dictate if you are allowed to be loved. Actually the hardest I have ever seen the angels weep, is for those clients who have completely forgotten who they are; as they have forgotten the love of God inside. Because when we forget who we are, we stop loving ourselves and stop seeing ourselves as having any importance. Once we stop acknowledging our importance, we then begin to seek and find our identity in other people and things outside of ourselves. This sets us on a perpetual carousel of giving our power away. So remember, if you have been disappointed by love on Valentine’s Day or any other day of the year, ask yourself where in your life that you can put more focus and attention on the creation of your importance. Perhaps you could: Write that book that you have inside yourself? Dare to switch to a more honoring job? Take that holiday that you’ve dreamed about? Honor your gifts and talents and share them with the world. And if you wake up on Valentine’s Day morning and do not find your new Ferraris parked in your garage, or your breakfast tray does not come with a diamond ring on it nor two plane tickets to your villa in the South of France, remember that love is not something that you are given or have to search for; love is something that you already are. Until next time, remember that by having a life-long love affair with yourself, it will constantly bring you the richest fulfillment from the inside out.

Happy Homecoming to Who You Are

Like many people, I love this time of year with its pumpkin scones and lattes, cheery jack-o-lanterns and cooler temperatures. The mere smell of nutmeg and allspice has me hankering to wear my pink flannel bunny pajamas and putting my scarves and sweaters from the back of my closet to the front. And while the month of October in the past has been a time of harvest, The Posse of Angels is sharing with us that October had many of us experiencing a very different kind of harvest this year. The harvest of October has traditionally been associated with gathering foods to can and store away, in order to sustain us physically through the winter months. Yet, what many of us have experienced this past month was so revealing, that in some ways, the spiritual nourishment that it provided will feed our souls now, during our winters and for all our days to come. After we experienced a somewhat sleepy summer with not much happening, September saw many of us draw connections that finally opened doors and created forward motion towards our heartfelt desires. And after this brief flurry of activity, October came in and seemed to have presented us with a time of stillness. The Posse of Angels is nodding their heads and saying that this time of void was invaluable to really take note of our lives. The quiet of October gave the collective consciousness a chance to reset, as to how we relate and connect on a more conscious level to ourselves, to others and to our environment. And as we spent so much of October resetting how we interact in the world, many returned to fully living from their Divine Eternal natures. And The Posse of Angels is saying that many have finally decided to return ‘Home’ to themselves. With many Lightworkers doing this, we chose to return to our biological families in October. Our relationships with our families are sometimes the hardest to deal with; as they are often laden with the heavy burden of blame. The Posse of Angels says that there are several reasons for so many of us reconnecting with family. By returning to our birth families, many saw just how far we have come and how much we have enlightened. With many Lightworkers having cleared and cleansed their issues, we have allowed ourselves to detach from family stories and dramas. Practicing detachment, we allowed our family members to live and experience their own journey. And by loving them for exactly where they choose to be, we have transcended the need for blame, finding fault in others and seeing ourselves as victims. With clear-eyed awareness, many of us have taken responsibility for our contribution to the perpetuation of negative emotions attached to family relationships. Having done all of the above, we have chosen to spiritually come home to who we are and then chose to literally go back home to our roots. My client Mary (not her real name) experienced her own ‘going home’ and what it felt like to return to her birth family in October. She had revealed to me that being the only girl in her family of boys had been very difficult for her whole life; as she was raised in a culture and religion that praised sons and virtually did not recognize daughters. It was actually voiced by her parents that education would be wasted on her, as she was very pretty and the expectation was that she would be married off to someone rich and have children. And while Mary was not against marriage or having children, she grew up deeply sad that her talents of writing were not praised like those of her brother’s. Putting all her effort into her looks, Mary made the decision to get the recognition of her parents by marrying a wealthy man. She went on to have children and endured many years of being subjected to his abuse. After she divorced, she decided that even though her family did not honor her talent of writing, she would respect her gifts and she began to write books. In the years that followed, only out of a sense of duty, she forced herself to visit her family. On the days before her departure, she would begin to sense a heavy feeling of being either judged or not being listened to. And every time she visited, her feelings were like a self-fulfilling prophesy that had her holding back tears of rage, at her parents blatant disregard for her efforts as they lauded her older brothers. Through Intuitive Counseling and Reiki Sessions with me, Mary was able to clearly see her life from a higher perspective. She understood why she had chosen certain souls to be her parents. She also saw that, because of her own actions in previous incarnations, she had chosen their contrasting characteristics to help challenge her to grow spiritually. Through our sessions, Mary became empowered to respect her talents as a writer. With renewed enthusiasm and passion, she finished her first novel. She then honored her writing and signed with a literary agent. It was sometime later that she joyously called, to tell me that a major publishing house was going to publish her first book. Now that she was a published writer, she decided to return home to prove to her family that she was deserving of being a recognized writer. Sitting with her family while they had tea, she excitedly told them what she had accomplished; as she had kept the publishing of her book a secret from them. The only thing that her mother said was, “You know, your older brother is such a brilliant writer, why doesn’t he get a literary agent?” It was in that very moment, that Mary realized that what her mother said or did not say, no longer had any effect on her. With the work that Mary had done in our sessions, she was no longer reactive. She knew that her mothers’ words and actions, had nothing to do with whether she was talented or not. Her mother’s words were reflective of her upbringing and programming to favor sons. In that instant when Mary realized that she no longer needed anyone else’s recognition of her talents, she smiled knowing that she was no longer needy and dependent on her family’s recognition. Mary thanked me for helping her remember that we all are Divine and each of us chooses to be where we are on the journey towards enlightenment. I had shared with Mary that we each carry the keys of spiritual awakening within us. Some of us choose to find the keys to enlightenment quickly, some choose to find the keys slowly and keep themselves in the dark. And then there are some others who choose never to find the keys and never experience enlightenment. Turning the mirror back on herself, Mary remembered that it took her to the age of 40 to find her spiritual keys and awaken to who she was. She then let go of judgment on how her parents should act and allowed them the same freedom of choice on whether or not to enlighten. By surrendering judgment, she stopped blaming others, and using them as an excuse for being a victim and not honoring her God-given talents. By letting go of self-imposed limitation, she opened herself to live from her divine eternal nature and her unlimited power inside. Mary said her trip back to her family was not so much about reuniting with them, but more so of reuniting with herself. For the reflection of her family helped strengthen her conviction to the path she wished to follow. No longer shackled to some self-imposed illusion of the past, she was now free to confidently step forward to her dream of being a writer. Happy Homecoming to One and All!

You Are Famous, You Are a Success

At almost 91 years of age, my client Maggie had certainly lived a very full life. When she was in her 20’s, she had been chosen to be the singing voice for several major film stars in very successful movie musicals and she headlined as a singer on the radio. As her professional star was shining brightly and on the rise, she met her husband who was a famous jazz pianist. When they married, she decided to give up performing in order to raise their children and be supportive of her husband’s career. Wistfully she recalled her former achievements and all the possibilities of success that she had been presented with but that had not been realized. As she spoke, she frequently sighed, as if there was a heavy resignation sitting on her heart. With 4 small children, Maggie was pretty much housebound. Although she occasionally sang with her husband’s band, she was relegated to watching her husband’s career soar as he played for the legends of music like Aretha Franklin, Sammy Davis Jr., Pat Boone and Ella Fitzgerald. She went on to say that even though she was not performing, she desperately wanted to express her love of music; so she decided that she would teach voice lessons from her home. When I asked her how she felt about having decided to teach over performing, she replied that it provided her with an outlet to express her love of singing. But she said, “I guess the old saying is true, those that can, do and those that can’t teach. Teaching was fine, but it was nothing like performing. I really felt alive when I performed.” Sighing deeply again she said, “You know, I could have been famous, I could have been a success.” This longing of not having achieved fame was a constant weight she carried. During the remainder of our session together the Posse of Angels showed her, her life’s choices from a higher perspective. Her path to performing was actually blocked because of what she wrote into the contract of her life was of such immense importance; not only for herself, but for the lives of her countless students. Her passion, light, enthusiasm, and creative expression demonstrated an immense joy and had a transformative effect on her students. The Posse of Angels showed her that each student that was under her tutelage was like a light bulb which she helped turn on. They were so affected by her teaching and how it individually changed them that they went on to emulate these same qualities in their lives. During her 50+ years of teaching, many of her students went on to be international opera singers, musical directors, and Broadway performers and each one carried Maggie’s enormous light in their hearts as they illuminated the path of joy and passion for others to follow. With the insights from our Intuitive Counseling Session and the Angel Reiki Healing Session, shifting and lifting her resigned, stagnant energies off her heart, she said afterwards, “Candy, I do not know how to fully express my gratitude and appreciation for our session today. You and The Posse of Angels have given me the freedom and empowerment that I needed. At 91, I now feel like I have a new lease on life. I feel so much lighter, like a burden has been lifted off of my shoulders. I feel like I can fly again!" After Maggie’s session, I found her words, “You know, I could have been famous, I could have been a success” echoing over and over in my head. It got me to think, what does it really mean to be famous and how do each of us measure success. So, I asked the Posse of Angels for their heightened perspective on fame and success, and this is what they said: Firstly, The Posse of Angels laughed. And as I have mentioned before, they never laugh at us, but they laugh with us. They began by stating that when we ask to be famous and successful, we are asking for that which we already are. Being children of God, and coming from the purest most loving Source, we are infinite, limitless and Divine; whole and complete just as we are. On some level, be it conscious or unconscious, we know this in the deepest core of our souls. It is irrefutable that we are famous and successful at being who we are; for there is no other soul or person in any space, time, and dimension like us! We know this when we are born and we retain this knowing while we are very young children. Children say and do things not to be quoted or noted for what they do, but they are motivated to act and to speak directly from their hearts. A child’s identity is allowing themselves to be who they authentically are. It is unfortunate that when some children get older, they become re-programmed to believe that they are no longer famous and successful for just being who they are. This message of not being enough, finds them turning their attention outward in order to attain or achieve something in order to determine identity. This is bizarre, as the highest Source possible, God, created us from pure Divine Source and made us enough in the first place. We do not have to produce or create anything in order to be Divine; in order to be who we are. Once we turn our attention outside of ourselves to receive recognition, external forces start to impose their ideas of what success and fame means. We look to the outside world to determine whether we are worthy and deserving of not just being who we are, but ultimately, for existing in the first place. Now The Posse of Angels wants to remind us that as humans, we are pure intention and there is nothing wrong with having goals that we would like to achieve. But, what is most important is that we do not lose the forest for trees by losing our sense of who we are, with or without the achievement of said fame or success. For no matter what fame and recognition we realize, the luster and the thrill from that achievement will eventually die down and it will be replaced with some other goal, dream or intention to succeed at. The Posse of Angels is saying that ‘this is so’ because this is how human nature works. And if we need that constant outside validation and so-called ‘hit’ of fame or success in order to get our sense of identity, then the eventual high from that attainment will wear off and we will quickly turn to the next big thing to get our identity from. And once fame and success fades away, so does your belief in who you divinely are. To be human and not to lose one’s sense of self in the process of attaining our goals and dreams is no small feat. And great goals and dreams in life, demand great sacrifices in order to obtained. But along the journey to those dreams, it is imperative that we do not lose who we divinely are and we take our achievements in stride. An example of not being carried away with one’s fame and success came from an article I read recently about where actors keep their Oscars that they have won. The actress Emma Thompson, who keeps her two academy awards on a shelf in her bathroom, says she does this in order to help keep her perception in check about being famous. Unlike many others who achieve fame, Emma is one of those actors who had a solid sense of self before she became famous. By understanding who she was before fame arrived, she was able to not let fame define her. Each of us was formed by God as a unique expression of fame and success and sent into this human incarnation with a full tool kit to build, imagine and create a glorious life. The more we bring forth our gifts and talents and creatively and passionately share them with the world, we will connect with the fame that is already part of our Divine inherent nature. By doing so, our success is felt by doing what we do well, without any thought being famous. And The Posse of Angels is reminding all of us that a life lived with passion, creativity, joy, love and integrity even if it lacks the publicized perception of fame and success is like a radiant bright star that not only lights a path for others to follow, but also shines a heavenly light for the angels to dance by.

The Lightworkers Next Important Step

Have you noticed that there has been a major shift that has gone on for the last 5-6 weeks? The powerful eclipses of April 25, May 10 and May 25th shined their intense light to help us transform into the highest ideal that we have for ourselves. In transforming ourselves, many have been guided to let go of relationships and choices that were no longer for our highest good. By freeing ourselves from those people and things that are not in direct alignment with our highest vision, we opened the doors for new relationships to manifest in our lives. And while the energies of these influential eclipses affected everyone, it was the role of the Lightworkers, and in particular the first way showers, that were most affected by it. Now, you may be asking, ‘How does one know if they are a first way shower?’ Well if you have been living a conscious life of awareness and been putting your emphasis on promoting peace, love and unity, then you most probably are part of this first wave. As people rapidly shift, they will be hungry for answers to their spiritual questions, and it is the first way showers that they will turn to for support and inspiration. With this in mind, has your journey as a Lightworker changed since you awakened and is it different to what you first expected?” My own journey began with my Walk-In experience in 2003, and beside the fact that I was ungrounded; I was naïve to think that helping the Planet to enlighten would be an easy thing to accomplish. My gentle, angelic nature thought, “When each individual is presented with love rather than fear, of course the world will embrace this change.” How innocent was I!!! I can hear the Posse of Angels, my angelic family, laughing; of course their laughing with me and not at me. They are saying that ignorance is bliss, and perhaps that is correct in this instance. For if many of the Lightworkers knew at the start, how much effort, money, energy and time they would be putting into holding the light for others, they probably would have given up a long time ago. The disparity of our expectations of what we thought we would have achieved by now, compared to what has manifested, has seen many Lightworkers who are disheartened and disappointed. And for many, the level of enthusiasm that we once had to help enlighten the Planet may have waned. In fact, I recently discussed this subject with my dear friend Catherine who said to me, “Candy you are still like an excitable child, having incarnated as a Walk-In only 10 years ago. You are still hungry to get out there and keep spreading the message of love, peace and unity. I have been doing this since the 1960’s, and I am just bone weary and exhausted.” Now, not everyone has clocked up the number of spiritual miles as my dear friend. But there have been many who have invested so much of themselves as Spiritual Teachers and established businesses as Healing Practitioners that are lamenting their lack of success, financial rewards or real tangible accomplishments up until now. And it is understandable why many Lightworkers have lost heart and have judged their lives harshly, because they have not seen the physical manifestation of their expectations appearing ‘yet’ in their lives. And the Posse of Angels is emphasizing this word ‘yet’ because what is presently occurring on an energetic level on the Planet, is about to be, what some may call, a game changer. As a result of the energetic frequencies of the three eclipses, our beloved Planet Earth will see the numbers of people awakening to consciousness, rapidly spread in the millions. And those numbers will keep on increasing even further as we go through June. With the consciousness on the Planet dramatically rising, many of us that have held a high frequency will now be able to be heard, seen and perceived by others. As more and more people shift, they will be in alignment with our higher dimensional frequency. Our writings, books, public speaking and creative projects which have seemed to be held back for no darn good reason, will be green lit as the people and opportunities will show up now with ease and grace to help us manifest the fulfillment of our desires. The Posse of Angels is saying that it is really simple to understand why we were seemingly held back; as the world was not energetically and consciously ready to receive us before. The Posse keeps telling me that June is show time; as we will be called to assist others along their newly shifted spiritual paths. But, The Posse of Angels is really emphasizing that compared to what we did before; we will be serving in a very different way for ourselves and the world around us. For much like my dear friend Catherine, many of us are weary of carrying energies for others in order to create a New World. And while for many years, we were happy to help, save and enable others as they shifted into higher consciousness, many of us will be thrilled to learn that this is no longer our primary role. Throughout past years, we moved as a collective consciousness to bring as many people as possible on board the train of enlightenment. But with these powerful eclipses, we are being asked to serve in a different capacity. The only responsibility we have to the Planet now is a very personal one; as we are being asked to stay in the energies of what feels best for us. Your decision and your choices will serve the Planet best if you stay in the energies of joy and love. And because we all have different fingerprints, how that physically manifests will look different for each and every one of us. Now you might think with so many people waking up on the Planet, how you can use your experience to save, and enable others. But just like it was vastly important for all first way showers to ultimately learn to discover our true, authentic selves and what makes us joyful and filled with love, it is paramount that we let the second wave of Lightworkers figure this out for themselves. Yes, be compassionate, be kind, be loving and be supportive but, ultimately,let them figure it out for themselves! And the Posse of Angels are saying that we, the first wave of Lightworkers, are so weary and exhausted having held the light for so many for so long, that we get to retire into a life of just focusing on joy and love. Now there are some out there who still have the energy and deep desire to teach and mentor the next wave of awakened Lightworkers. And if this really feels joyful to you, then by all means, go for it. But the Posse of Angels are stressing that we need to allow others to work through their deepest fears by themselves. The vision that the Posse is showing me is that of the phoenix bird rising from the ashes after being burned in the fire; as many of us went through immense challenges and dark nights of our own soul, to have arisen wiser, stronger, and more peaceful and loving as a result of enduring our struggles and trials. As the first wave of Lightworkers, we had to explore our own deep pain, fear, sadness, bitterness, regret, resentment and anger in order to transmute and transcend them. We have graduated and do not need to fall back into that process again by saving others as they go through it. Our role as the first wave ambassadors of Lightworkers is to tell our story and shine our example out to the world of what we have endured and the challenges we have overcome. And the more we do this with joy, unconditional love and passion the more we will be the example and inspiration for others to follow. And believe me; if you are a part of the first wave of Lightworkers, you have an incredible, special and unique story of how you transmuted your own fear, judgment and un-forgiveness into love and joy. And the more you share your story with others, in whatever ever way you choose; it will give others the strength to transmute their own fears into love. The Posse of Angels is saying that we first wave of Lightworkers have done what no other collective has ever done on the Planet before. We have elevated love and joy to such a heightened level, that it has made it possible for others to shift and enlighten into consciousness as well. God and the angels are so proud of your accomplishments and encourage you to embrace your story and share it with others in whatever way you are most passionate about. By living in pure joy and love in every moment, you will not only create your own individual Heaven on Earth, but you will be the shining example for others to go forth and create their own Heaven on Earth. Have fun sharing your unique and marvelous story with a now, listening and awaiting world!

Write A New Story For Your Life

Many of us have come to a significant juncture in our life’s journey and it has all to do with several things that have occurred as a collective consciousness. The first part of this grand journey was for all of us to remember our Divine eternal natures. To help us with this, many of us spent our time, focus and money at New Age Shops. Whether we spent our time devouring spiritual books, videos like ‘The Secret’, or attended spiritual workshops, all of these things were helping us to remember the spiritual wisdom that we were already born with. Once this remembering of our spiritual wisdom was done, many of us felt compelled to share our newly awakened awareness with others. We then embarked on an immense time of service, devotion, and helping others through our work as Life Coaches, Reiki Master/Teachers and Angel Practitioners like myself, and Motivational Speakers, just to name a few. Then, the energy from that immense phase of helping others began to very noticeably recede. And The Posse of Angels tells me that it began to recede around September 2011, as the Universe asked us to turn the mirror back on ourselves and re-ignite OUR dreams and desires by bringing forth our creative talents. This saw a veritable flood of Lightworkers begin to publish their books, create YouTube videos, attack the social network markets with podcasts, and webinars, write newsletters and blogs, and some even created their own radio programs…just like me. In order for us to have arrived at this most important threshold of new beginnings, The Posse of Angels is saying that this never would have occurred unless we decided to write a new story for our lives. Reviewing our past literary efforts, many of us can clearly see that the chapters that we had previously penned were written with a much darker ink. This stands to reason as much of the content that we focused on was heavy and written with a disheartened, disappointed and an unfulfilled pen. Looking back over the story of my life before I awakened, I can clearly see that what I wrote for my story was filled with fear, low self-worth and self-denial. Re-reading those past chapters, I saw that they had to be released as its dark content no longer resonated with the level of light that I now embrace. So when it came to re-writing chapters of my story, I went about releasing my abusive marriage, and released the predictable programmed way that I was allowing myself to live other people’s visions for my life. Once the pages were released, I stared at a new blank page, and that scared the heck out of me. It had been so easy to allow others to tell me what to write and determine the content of my book of life. But now the power was all in my hands and I decided to write what I wanted to read about in the future. Along with choosing the content for my own story, I decided to write with a very different pen. I chose to write with a fearless pen, a pen that was authentic and empowered. As a result of this, my new chapters took on a very different feel. Suddenly my life went from being a predictable tale of blame, having written myself as the victim, to turning my story into an adventure/thriller. My story became one in which the heroine, me, lives life on her own terms and faces the thrills, spills, challenges and triumphs of living a life without compromise. Reading over the new chapters of my book of life, some of the chapters were quite sad, while others were happy, joy filled and exciting. Like any good novel, my story now contained moments of struggles, perilous uncertainty, and renewed faith in myself and God. These then lead to restored hope and overwhelming achievements, successes, and victories. Now, was writing a new story of my life easy? No and Yes. The hardest part was deciding whether I was going to stop writing my life with fear and limitation as my main characters. Once I chose to change my main characters to faith, courage and strength of my convictions, an intriguing tale turned into a whole different novel. Having now written new chapters for the story of my life for over 10 years ago, I see that in each moment of every day, I have the ability to edit and alter my story. Realizing that the power lies in the wielding of my own pen, I know that life does not’ just’ randomly happen to us, as we are always choosing what to write. Some people love to write about drama, tragedy and conflict and they seem to derive such joy from being stuck in a loop of being a victim and speaking about chaos, heresy and gossip. The chapters of these people’s stories almost always contain lots of judgment, with very little resolution and a whole lot of blame and fault finding. Then there are other writers who choose to look on the bright side of life, and write content that is uplifting, inspiring and elevates the soul. These people do not necessarily have an easier life, but it is their choice to change their perspective and write about their experiences as blessings, which makes their stories inspirational reading. The Posse of Angels is asking, ‘So what kind of story have you written for your life so far?” Is it one that you love reading, or do you prefer to hide the story of your life in some dusty attic or forgotten area of the basement. If we have previously chosen to write a story that was written with a sad, fearful pen of limitation, it is vastly important to go back, wipe off that dusty book and re-read those chapters. For it is in the re-reading that we will acknowledge the struggles, the pain and the heartache that we endured and, so often, pushed us to get us to the stage of writing a whole new story. When I go back and re-read what I wrote for myself before I awakened, I am not embarrassed; but I am so proud of myself as to how far I have come. I have had many clients tell me that they have a book inside of themselves, but just have not written it yet. They look at my beautiful book 'Angles of Faith' and they ask how did I go about writing it and what preparation did I do.” Quite simply, I tell them that, “A writer writes.” An inspired writer does not think so much with their mind about what they are going to write, as allow themselves to feel the story in their heart and then co-create with the greatest author of all, God, in order to pen their story together. When I chose to stop writing myself in my story as the victim, always blaming and finding fault in others, and I started to write myself in my story as the triumphant, successful heroine, my life began anew. The characteristics that I write for myself as the heroine are joyful, childlike, adventuresome, curious, brave, authentic, truthful and fearless. My heroine chooses to script chapters that are positive, challenging, passionate, loving, non-judgmental, forgiving, and filled with my faith in myself, God and the angels. As a result of this, the novel of my life is an unbelievable best seller and the sequels to come are even more astounding. And if you have not started to write a new story for yourself, start today. For your new extraordinary life cannot begin if you keep writing the same less than desired content, with the same less than desired characters and pen. Happy writing!

10 Years of 'Making A Life' Instead of 'Making A Living'

I just posted on Face Book my 100th testimonial in the 100 days leading up to the 10thyear anniversary June 30th, of my extraordinary business Angel Healing House. And I do not exaggerate when I use that word, ‘extraordinary’ to explain the last 10 years. Come to think of it, if you are going to call your business, ‘Angel Healing House’, I guess one can expect miracles along the way. It is often at milestones in our lives, that we look back and review the path along the journey. And many times, with a business, one assesses its success or failure solely on the ‘bottom line’. Yet, looking back on the past 10 years, the richness and abundance I have received from my business, and the incredible life’s lessons that it has presented, has added so much more to the wealth of my life than just money. My business has given me opportunities to give of my time, my heart, my compassion and my unconditional love and what has come back to me has been miraculous and so much more valuable than gold. People tell you all kinds of advice when one starts a business. Keep accounts, act professional, be responsible and reliable, etc. etc. But the best business advice I ever received was from my father, who told me, “Whatever you do, if you decide to give, give purely, give openly and generously and with all your heart. And remember, the gift is in the giving. Giving is a gift that you give to yourself.” And some of the most miraculous results from my giving brought gifts that I could never have imagined. “My daughter started seeing Candy after a year of fighting cancer. In four short sessions, Candy’s beautiful words and comforting presence helped my daughter let go of all the anger and sadness inside of her. Candy helped my daughter cross over with peace and dignity and the knowledge that she would be returning to God and her angels. I can’t thank you enough for bringing my daughter finally back to peace once more.” Gwen, Culver City, Ca. “You have done more for me than you could ever possibly imagine. I now can love my children again.” Therese, Coolum, Australia They say that when the student is ready, the Master appears. Yet, I teach my Reiki students that everyone who you encounter in life is your Master/Teacher. So... you better pay attention! And the clients, my teachers, that I have drawn to myself have allowed me to open up opportunities for me to love like I never thought possible. “I went to Candy because I was recovering from cancer, and needed help to release emotional blockages. My sessions with her have been the most loving and caring experience in my life and I continue to receive benefit from ongoing sessions. I can honestly say, that as a result of meeting Candy, it was the first time in my whole life that I was truly able to feel and experience love. Candy truly is a gift. With love and Gratitude, Maggie, Pacific Grove, CA By giving with all my heart and truly believing in the divinity of all people, I have reignited a spark of hope in others for them to choose to heal themselves. That’s right, they chose to heal themselves. In fact, I vowed from day one of my business, that I would never use the word healer on anything associated with Angel Healing House, because I am not the Healer. It is the client’s reconnection to God, and recognition of fully loving themselves that opens up the door for true healing to begin. As a Healing Practitioner, sure I help them to heal, but ultimately the client gets to make the final choice. There is a saying, “We teach best what we need to learn most.” 10 years ago, as a result of my finally learning to love myself, connecting with the divine inside of me, and creating Heaven on Earth, I then went forth to help others love themselves and create their own Heavens. My business has been successful because I chose to “Make a Life” and not “Make a Living”. In choosing to ‘Make a Life”, I chose to do what made my heart sing and gave me great joy. When one “Makes a Life” instead of “Making a Living”, one does not compromise what breathes life into ones soul. One begins to understand that our joy and fruition and what we do is an integral puzzle piece of the Planet. In “Making a Life”, the natural offshoot of that is to be joyful and set your soul free to fly and create limitless possibilities. If one puts their emphasis on 'Making a Living", instead of “Making a Life”, the emphasis is off creativity and the Universe reads this as coming from lack, which will bring to us more lack. Angel Healing House has given me the opportunity to spread my wings fully and make my life and the lives of my clients brighter. “After my session with Candy, I feel brighter as if there is a positive light flowing in me. My heart feels lighter and more full of love. My heart is smiling.” Samantha, Mooloolaba, Australia And with 10 years of: healing sessions, intuitive counseling, angel tarot readings, teaching Reiki, presenting workshops, holding meditation nights, authoring books and hosting my own radio show, what does the next 10 years hold in store for Angel Healing House?? My angelic family tells me that everything that I have done up until now has prepared me for what is next in store for me. And while they won’t tell me specifics, they tell me that it will be more miraculous than my wildest dreams. So, just like I have done for every minute of the past 10 years, I start my next 10 years of Angel Healing House by giving and loving and by leaving the how and when of my life in the very capable hands of God and the Angels. “Candy, you are an amazing example of a faithful & trusting child of God.” Tracy, Sunshine Coast, Australia. Thank you to each and every one of you that has given me the opportunity and the infinite blessings to love and to give with all my heart. Love and Angel Blessings, Claire Candy Hough Angel Healing House 'Healing From The Heart' 831-277 3716 www.angelhealinghouse.com

Re-Invent Your Life

For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, spring is definitely in the air. Spring traditionally represents fresh, new beginnings, re-generation and a surge of hope. Like the first tiny buds that optimistically begin to appear after a cold winter, we also begin to feel a sense of optimism and re-newal after a long time of hibernation. And even though ‘spring fever’ is upon us and a feeling of expectation is in the air, many are feeling like an energetic force is weighing us down; bringing in self-doubts and uncertainty. I don’t know about you, but ever since the beginning of the year there have been times that I have felt like I have been pushing molasses along a flat surface. With more effort being put in to our dreams coming true and few results to show for it, I thought I would share some insight as to what is contributing to this sloooow down. One of the reasons for this is that Mars, the planet of energy, and action, started to go backwards on January 24th and halted much of our forward motion. Basically it feels like our get up and go, got up and went. When this planet goes in re-verse, we definitely feel like we are spinning our wheels and going nowhere fast. The frustration many have been feeling, has deflated our optimistic bubble and tested our faith to the max. Like many others, my first reaction was to just to try a little harder, push more and put in extra time on phone calls and computer with greater social media attention. But several weeks ago, I received a series of rather persistent visitations from the fairies that kept telling me, just to do the opposite. (A lot of you know that I work with and belong to a group of angels called The Posse. Yet, the fairies do bring me messages from time to time. God bless them for all the incredible work that they do in looking after Mother Nature!0 Firstly, they told me that as of March 2nd, this Moon in Cancer is urging us to rest, go within and do some much needed introspective work. This ‘downtime’ until March 22nd, is very important, as it will allow us to really hone in on what is causing irritation in our lives. This much needed attention will help us to once and for all acknowledge the beauty in the irritation, in order to thank it, bless it and finally release it. When the new Moon arrives on the 22nd of March, it will shine a light on how we chose to perpetuate any irritations in our lives and prevented them from being resolved. The fairies told me to be sure to pay attention to what is bothering me over the next week, for they said that this may be the very thing that is about to be radically transformed. To help us, the fairies imparted some advice that will help us to turn within and get in touch with our necessary inner work. (****Please note that there is not one mention of spending more time on FaceBook, LinkedIn, or going to networking groups.) Get outside and be in nature. When the fairies started to converge upon me 2 weeks ago, they led me to Culver City Park; where I discovered a wooden elevated ramp set in the side of a tree lined hill. As one gets higher, there are beautiful views of downtown LA, Century City and one can see all the way to Marina Del Rey. (As testament to how beautiful this walk is, I gave up my gym membership and walk it almost every single day.) Please note-While you walk, take the time to really connect with nature and become aware of the signs and messages that the fairies and Mother Nature are sending you. For instance, I have seen very large grasshoppers on my last few walks. I know that the Metaphysical significance of grasshopper is that it is associated with astral travel. The message from Mr. Grasshopper is that we are not limited to just this physical dimension and knowing this wisdom tells me that there are no obstacles. When the grasshopper appears, we are being asked to take a leap of faith and jump forward into a specific area of life or venture without fear; as it will be successful. Usually that specific area is one that we have avoided and is often connected to change on a larger scale concerning location, relationships, or careers. I also know that grasshoppers can only jump forward. In this way he was reaffirming that I am taking the right steps to move forward in my current situation. No wonder the grasshopper is the symbol of good luck all over the world. On other days, I have had ladybugs land on me as I walk along. Because this little cutie bug’s life cycle is short; as it is only around 4 weeks, its energies are tied to renewal and regeneration. Its limited time on Earth sends a powerful message of how important it is to release worries and enjoy our lives to the fullest. I guess if this wee creature could speak, it would say, “Let go and Let God.” Often seen as a sign of promise, the Ladybug helps to restore our trust and faith in the Divine and it is a great sign to get out of our own way and let God enter into our lives. And all this wisdom, from a little polka dotted bug!!! And lastly, I have seen lots of lizards. And by the way, what are they thinking about as they bask in the sun? They are dreaming their dreams into reality. Lizards for me have always been a sign to spend more time and energy on visualizing my dreams in order for them to manifest in my physical world. And these scaly little fellows may be very good at hiding physically, but they are no slouches when it comes to using the power of their voices. Lizards are a great reminder to speak up and be heard. And with the little lizard being associated to the element of Fire, it is definitely urging us to step forward and take action, when the timing is intuitively right. Knowing that signs just like these and others are waiting for me, I cannot wait to go for my walk and see what messages I will be given. And although you may come across a lizard yourself and begin to power up your voice, there is caution on the horizon. You see Mercury, the planet of communication goes retrograde on March 12th. When Mercury is traveling forward, it is said that communications of all kinds, phone, internet, fax, SKYPE etc are clear, understandable and arrive in a timely fashion. Yet when this Planet begins to travel backwards, as it will be doing from March 12th to April 4th, all kinds of communications can go astray, be misunderstood, and misconstrued. So instead of communicating outward, use the next 4 weeks as an amazing blessing from the Universe. It is giving us a marvelous opportunity to be still and not only clean house, but all other areas in our lives. During these re-trogrades, we now have the opportunity to re-view, re-search, re-visit, re-write and re-work what is not working in our lives. With this gift of quiet, where we would be otherwise occupied, we now have the time to re-consider where we are putting our energies and focus. It is a great chance to re-flect on what is not working for us, and re-consider what is truly important. So until these re-trogrades are moving forward again, have fun re-connecting with Mother Nature and see what messages and signs the fairies have in store for you. Let me know what you find on your walks. Love and Blessings, Claire Candy Hough 831 277 3716 candy@angelhealinghouse.com www.angelhealinghouse.com

Love of Self

With one of my radio shows scheduled for Tuesday mornings at 11am, I took note that it was Valentine’s Day, and centered the topic around Love of Self. Actually, the angels were very amused with the whole Valentine’s Day thing. They asked me, “Why don’t humans have a National Breathing Day?” and “Why isn’t there a National Beating of your Heart Day?” Both of these things happen naturally and most of the time they occur without us realizing it. I guess their point is that to love and to be loved is a natural thing that all human beings have, and that we can have love in our lives in any second that we choose. But most of the time, we are so dead set on preaching to the Universe how love is supposed to be in our lives, that we diminish and close off the possibilities of how and when we can experience love. If we buy into the vision of love perpetuated by the greeting card companies, the chocolate makers, the florists and the jewelers, we can get caught up in a very commercialized form of love that is built around conditions and expectations. For instance, some of these conditions might be that: • my partner loves me if he buys me flowers. Or, • if he really loves me, he will buy me flowers and a diamond ring. Or, • if he truly loves me the most, he will buy me flowers, a diamond ring, a new Ferrari and a villa in the South of France. The whole point is that once we start to play this game, it is difficult to know where to stop. You might be chuckling to yourself, but there was a time in my life that I was associated with people who were just like this. They were so caught up in climbing the social ladder of ‘who could acquire the most’ that they were materially blinded to anything remotely associated with feeling rich by connecting to their free emotion of love within. Appropriating a single day to show love is so insanely ludicrous because at the most profound depth of whom we are as human beings, is the fact that WE ARE LOVE in every single second! In fact, we are so inextricably linked with God that even if we do not think we are love, this connection of divine love always exits underneath any false premise that we choose to perpetuate. And if it is dormant and asleep within us, love can be re-awakened in the blink of an eye. And counter to what all the great romance novels and romantic movies have shown us, love does not happen because of who we are with, love happens because of who we are. But, it can only happen with our permission. Many times , we deny that we are love because we are replaying old programming of taking to heart someone else’s words that caused us to feel not worthy, not deserving or like we somehow didn’t measure up. But deep within, underneath any negative belief system, regardless of what you have done, what you have received and who you are, the angels want to remind you that you are: More Beautiful , more Powerful and more Magnificent than you could possibly ever imagine. Just for the record, my Posse of angels and I want to remind you that you are a child of God and adored and loved, not only on a specific day, but on every single second of every single day, month and year since you were born and before you were born. This is not dependent on what you are given, what you own, what you drive, what you wear or if you ever produce, achieve or even create anything. This love is indisputable, unconditional, constant and un-wavering. How extraordinarily fortunate are we!!! If your life is not representative of these words, it is because you have forgotten who you are and are allowing external expectations and conditions to dictate how and if you are to be loved. Actually the hardest I have ever seen the angels weep, is for those clients who have completely forgotten who they are; as they are denying their divine love inside. Because when we forget who we are, we stop loving ourselves and stop seeing ourselves as having any importance. Once we stop acknowledging our importance, we then begin to seek and find our identity in other people and things outside of ourselves. This is giving our power away. Over the last 10 years, through my business, Angel Healing House, I have lost count of all the clients who have gone through relationship breakdowns that have said that they need their ex to feel loved; as they feel so empty without them. The clients are rightfully empty as most of their relationships were co-dependent and they did very little to nurture and nourish their own self-worth. Once their partner leaves them, they fall pretty heavily, as they have been leaning on the other person for their sense of love. One of the greatest ways that I find to keep reminding me about ‘Love of Self’ is by honoring and respecting who I am. I do this by honoring and encouraging my unique gifts and talents. You know, there might be others out there with similar gifts, but there never has been another me, with my set of unique fingerprints. And nobody does things in quite the same way that I do them. This reminds me of when I wrote my beloved book ‘Angels of Faith.” I could have said, “Why write a book, there already have been lots of books written about angels.” But I knew in my heart that there never had been, never is and never will be another book written with the same energies and intention that mine was written with. Once you allow this feeling of uniqueness to permeate through you, you begin to value your contribution to yourself, others and to the Planet. You begin to see yourself as an integral part of life and you find joy in making yourself a priority. Not at the expense of anyone else, but you begin to see that your dreams and desires are just as significant as any others. So remember, if you were disappointed by Valentine’s Day or any other day, ask yourself where in your life that you can put more focus and attention on the creation of your importance. Perhaps you could: Write that book that you have inside yourself? Dare to switch to a more honoring job? Honor your gifts and talents and share them with the world. And if your woke up Valentine’s morning and did not find your new Ferraris parked in your garage, or your breakfast tray did not come with two plane tickets to your villa in the South of France, remember that love is not something that you are given or have to search for, love is something that you already are. Until next time, remember that by having a life-long love affair with yourself, it will constantly bring you the richest fulfillment from the inside out.

Angel Healing House

Hello World,

My name is Candy Hough and this is my inaugural blog.

I am a Healing Practitioner in Santa Barbara, California, USA and utilize my Master/Teacher degree in Reiki and intuitive counselling to help clients and students remember the extraordinary unlimited potential, beauty and empowerment that we all have inside.

To find out more about my passionate and compassionate work go to www.angelhealinghouse.com

I am so passionate and enthusiastic about helping others to shine their beautiful inner light to the outside world, because for many years I chose to keep my own light hidden. Through a near death experience and an angelic exchange, I discovered how to love, respect and honor my authentic self and never compromise my soul again.

For the first time I accepted responsibility for my life, forgave others, dropped all judgment, lived in gratitude and appreciation and loved unconditionally.

Because I started to accept and love myself, my world started to respect and reflect the love I had within.


As one of the lightworkers on this planet - dedicating myself to help bring about global harmony, peace and higher consciousness and unity among all people - I would like to dedicate the purpose of this blog for a place that encourages topics of discussion that are positive and uplifting.

A place where other lightworkers can feel acknowledged and supported.

Whether discussing energy healing, focusing on uplifting Global events i.e. International Peace Day Sept.21, or ways that we can raise the frequencies of our beautiful Mother Earth to encompass a caring, kind, and peaceful world, I hope that it will encourage others to join in and post their helpful comments.



"Through the teaching of love of self, gratitude and unconditional love of others, deep paralyzing emotional issues and physical ailments can be released and you can start to fashion a beautiful life for yourself. Restoring balance to your life and truly "living" everyday can be acheived only when you let go of negative thought patterns an destructive habits."
