Card pulled from:

Archangel Raphael brings this message today because a stressful situation is affecting your health (or the health of someone close to you).  The ill effects you may be experiencing are the body’s way of communicating that the current level of stress is beyond its coping capacity.  Find a way to permanently, or at least temporarily leave the situation.  This will help you find some emotional and physical relief.  Stress management and time management is vital to your health and well-being.  Take steps today towards alleviating a stressful situation, or removing yourself completely from whatever the situation at hand may be.  Know that when you take good care of your health, everyone benefits.

The number 13 is in today’s date twice, so I felt it important to see what the number 13 represents.  The ascended masters (such as Jesus, Quan Yin, Buddha, etc.) are helping you maintain a positive outlook.  The number 13 signifies the female ascended masters and goddesses assisting you at this time.

Angel Number From:

This card is a signal for you to schedule a massage in the next week.  The health benefits of massage are well documented.  Massages are not only relaxing, but also flush out toxins.  If you are going for a professional massage, think of it as an “investment” in your health.  This may be a simple reminder to “schedule and appointment” with a partner or friend to give each other a nice healing massage.

The angels are saying that your well-being is worth the time and/or money investment…it is good for your overall health, physically, mentally, and emotionally.  Try to shift your perspective to one where you don’t see this as an “extra”, but as an investment in feeling good.  We tend to prioritize our time and money, and this is a sign that this needs to be added to your list as a must-do.  ♥

Laurie kept saying, “now that you are in the field”…and I wasn’t even close to working with people {in my opinion}, I was barely seeing my own path and messages, so I thought. She also kept saying, when _______ happens 2 years from now…. well, here I am years later, and I feel so blessed to be working with so many wonderful people {you!} to help you find clarity, peace, and joy. I always thought I had to “talk to dead people” to find my way. While that does sometimes happen…I have found my path has taken me to mostly working with the living, and what you are doing in the here and now. I feel so blessed for all the trials and successes along my life journey….and it has only yet begun.

Thank you for being a part of my journey… I love being a part of yours!

“Relationships, be they with a spouse, partner, friend, or business associate, are, like everything else in our world, about how we are vibrating.  Period.  And how we are vibrating is coming from how we are feeling.  Period!

That being the case, it’s not going to take a genius to figure out that if we’re feeling anything other than at peace with ourselves, as well as totally allowing and appreciative of our partner (good luck), our vibrations are going to be slicing away at that relationship, no matter how much we’re convinced that since there’s nothing wrong with us, it must be the other guy’s fault.

If we are verbally or mentally accusing, berating, or disapproving in any way, we are attracting negatively.

If we are feeling trapped, ignored or neglected, unsafe, misunderstood, or short-changed, we are attracting negatively.

If we race to please, rescue, or placate, we are attracting negatively.

And I can already hear the “Yeah, buts”:

“Yeah, but you don’t know my partner!”

“Yeah, but how would you feel if you had to live with this one or work with that one?”

Now granted, when two people are involved, there are two doing the vibrating, and rarely do those vibrations match.  Nonetheless, we are the sole and exclusive creator of our experience, not our partner, not our parents, not even the boss who just got us fired.

So as hard as it may be to swallow, it becomes a matter of looking at our own valve, our own reactions, our own focus, our own energy flow, because as long as we’re glaring somewhere else – past or present- at all the stuff we don’t like, not only are we inviting more of the same, we’re blocking all the good things we’d like to see in its place.

The bottom line is, if our partner, or anyone else who classifies as a relationship, has some dorky little habits that annoy us (Don’t Wants), and we focus on them with even moderately closed valves, all we’re doing is perpetuating the dorky habits we’d like to erase, because we’re holding them in our vibration.

And therein lies the cause of every downward spiral of any relationship that ever went sour; the relentless-though surly innocent- attention to disagreeable conditions, no matter how meaningless they may appear to be.  As any small, unimportant aggravation begins to snowball into something major from our continued focus and negative energy flow toward it, we’ll start to get more of other unpleasant things on that same wavelength, as well as enlarge the petty thing we’ve been grousing about.  That means not only will that infamous toothpaste cap never get put back on the tube, but that very irritation has the potential, with our constant negative focus, to escalate into an unwanted extramarital affair, a fender bender, a layoff, even a divorce.

“The worse it gets, the worse it gets,” remember?  A constant flow of annoyance over anything will, sooner or later, turn ugly.  It must.  Like attracts like.

Sure, when someone is pushing our buttons, every ounce of us wants to push back.  But it’s never about what we do in a relationship that equals what we get.  Never!  It’s not even about how our partner is flowing energy.  Like everything else in our world, whatever it is we have in our face has come squarely from how we ourselves have been feeling, flowing, and vibrating.

There’s just no other way to put it; if you want to change the conditions of your relationship, you’re going to have to change your vibrations.” (page 201-204)

Hello Readers!

3…2….1…..and we are Live on the web!

This is a quick “hello” to introduce you to the new and improved webpage experience that Mystic is bringing you.  My brilliant husband has been learning web-coding, formatting, and has put in hours and days re-creating an entirely new webpage for Mystic.  Well, it is HERE!  The page is now viewable on mobile devices, iPads, tablets, etc.  I have also switched back to PayPal for your convenience.  I hope you enjoy the new page, and I look forward to hearing your feedback on the usability of the page.  Our goal was to clean up the page so it is simple to navigate and easy to find what it is you are looking for.  Right now the only thing on the page that has not been developed is the “Learning Center.”  Don’t worry…I’ll be adding to that area of the page soon. 

Blessings for a wonderful week!

We have buds growing on our rose bush all the time.  Those are the creative ideas, and opportunities that are in the works.  They are blooming, but not yet in full bloom….but they will be beautiful flowers some day!  They will become beautiful roses to decorate your rose bush of life.

Then there are the thorns.  Those are the uncomfortable things that happen in our lives.  Broken hearts, bad experiences, things that didn’t work out how we wished they had… those are our thorns.  Every rose bush has them…but that does not make our roses (or our lives) any less beautiful!

You can choose to see the beautiful roses for what they are – pure beauty!  …and you can choose to overlook the fact that a thorn just poked you.  You may have gotten a little “owie” on your finger (as my 4 year old would call it)… but it will heal!  Don’t forget how beautiful your roses are…and those buds that are almost in full bloom.  Nurture your garden and prune your flowers.  Life is truly a miracle, and our job is to honor everything in it.  Yes, even the thorns… because those thorns protect the roses.  They are there for a reason…and we can learn from them.  Honor your thorns, as they will bring you more and more roses in your life!

Life is so wonderful – there is passion and beauty all around us every day!  It is your choice to enjoy the beautiful flowers, or be angry that you got stuck by a thorn.  Choose wisely.

Our family went from a very stressful life to a not so stressful life literally within a month.  We moved from one state to another in physical location, short sold our house, and literally just up-rooted and re-located with a 2-year old in tow.  It was a very stressful time to say the least…but I very quickly learned that it really wasn’t.  It ended up being a blessing in disguise….

The one thing that I was able to do through this life change was to “let go” of all the old baggage that was holding me in that stale place – literally and figuratively.  I cleaned out my things – got rid of what I didn’t need or want anymore.  Some of that was hard to let go of, because it was “stuff” that I had been moving around with me for years.  But, it had not been used in years, so it was time to let it go and leave room for new things….for a new life.

I “let go” of all the emotional pain that was associated with that place.  I left it there, left it behind…in order to heal and allow for my new life to take over.   I had no idea what was ahead when we decided to move.  I didn’t know if my husbands new job would pay our bills, if we would find a house to live in, etc., etc.  While it was a very stressful time, there was also a feeling of relief that came with the change.  I guess you could say I turned it into an adventure, and I decided to take all of those scared feelings and turn them into excited ones for the wonderful new experiences to come.

When I hear the words “go with the flow…” I believe that it literally means to let go and let synchronicity take over.  Let the Universe bring to you all the things you are wishing for – and believe me…the Universe is always looking for a way to make your wishes come true!  Whether you allow them to come into your life…now that is a different story…. ;o)

I know there is a lot of change going on right now…or perhaps it is wanted change that is waiting for your allowing.  Sometimes change can be scary.  Believe me – when my husband said, “I’m fixing up the house and leaving in 2 weeks to go start my new job…you stay here and finish your school year teaching for the next 3 weeks – with our 2 year old – while packing, and staging the house for realtors to walk it with potential buyers…and I’ll meet you out there in 3 weeks.  Don’t worry, we’ll find a house and I’ll come get all the stuff after you get out here with our son.  It’ll all work out.”  I honestly had a bit of anxiety over the whole thing.  I am not sure to this day how I lived through those 3 weeks – but I just took a deep breathe, and the Universe literally took over and synchronicity took over every single detail of our move!  From financial, to logistics…I mean every detail was worked out in perfect timing.  Every moment…right when I was about to start stressing….the solution came into my existence – just like that.  A snap of the fingers and the problem was resolved without me even doing a thing.  That is what allowing and going with the flow truly is – I know what that looks like now!

My lesson in this experience truly was to just give in to the process of life, and “go with the flow.”  What does stressing out really get us?  Possibly an ulcer, weight problems, health problems in general, sleep problems, crankiness, mood swings, fights with our spouses, and in general just not so good feelings all around!  It’s not worth it!  Why go through all that, when in the end the stress has not aided you in any way towards your goal.  In fact…it has most likely taken you even farther away from your goal!  Good feelings breed good experiences!  I truly believe this, and I live this every day – now!

I used to live in my own self created hell built of stress, and for lack of a better term – drama.  I was a victim, and poor me.  I allowed other peoples decisions to overpower my own, and then sulked in the discontent of my life.  Nope, no sir – not any more!  I have taken my power back, and I have realized what control I have over my circumstances!  I realize how my actions and feelings create my world – and that can be good or bad – it is a choice!  I choose good!!  )

What are you going to choose tomorrow?  Go ahead, I dare you….take a deep breathe and do something different tomorrow.  Do something that you wouldn’t normally do that is going to take you closer to your goal!  It may be something that seems ‘scary’ because it is a change or ‘different’ than what you are used to and comfortable with.  I challenge you to step out of your comfort zone – stop staying in a place of discomfort, just because it is easier.  ….Have you been procrastinating getting started on a project?  Have you been living with extra clutter that you really don’t need?  Clean it out – share it with others who may really need those things.  )

Remember – anything that you truly want in this life is yours.  All you have to do is want it, wish it, and take action to make it yours.  There is nothing in this world that is being withheld from you by anyone – not God, The Universe, or Bob in the room next to you!  Sometimes our paths take us around unexpected turns and to new places – but that is part of the experience, the journey, and the growth.  It’s all good!

Joy is a feeling, and the only result of joy is a happy outcome!

Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy!

The reason I write this is because I am sure I am not the only person out there who is struggling with spirituality and relationships.

There is so much harsh judgement out there towards people who do not believe a certain way.  For myself, I believe in God and I believe in Love.  I guess you could say that I try to live my life to the standards of those who subscribe to the Christian faith.  However, I have had a very difficult time fitting into any one religious organization.  So I really don’t ‘subscribe’ to anything specifically ~ if anything I subscribe to Kindness!  I believe in love, integrity, generosity, compassion, joy, and understanding.  I am doing all in my power to raise my son with these same beliefs and qualities – whether we attend a specific church, synagogue, temple, or otherwise.  Our home is our sanctuary….God is everywhere!

Because I don’t fit into a religious box (so to speak), and I have some ‘alternative’ thoughts on spirituality…that makes me ‘different.’  I do believe in life after death, I do believe in reincarnation, angels, and energy.  I understand that not all will agree with my way of thinking or my belief system (if I could ever articulate what my belief system is, haha!)….and many will not resonate with what I do on my Mystic page.  That is totally fine, and I respect that.  Then move along, I say, and find something that brings you Joy!  =)

Yesterday I was dealt some pretty harsh judgement by a group of women who both my son and their children have made friends with one another over the last year.  One of the Mom’s ‘happened upon’ my Mystic page, and instead of approaching me and asking me anything about it…they discussed as a group and kicked my son and I out of their group – no questions asked.  All of this was “in the name of God” of course.  I know that they follow the Christian faith, however this had nothing to do with the Mommy & Sons group that they had put together.  It was not advertised as a religious organization….it was a play group for the children.  The group was supposed to be about the children playing, making friends, and enjoying some nice adult conversation with some other nice Moms.  My son and I both really enjoyed our time in the group.  I very much enjoyed the families, and felt that they raised their children with the same loving values that I raise mine….it seemed like a good fit.  Apparently not…

It was a very tough day yesterday, to put it lightly.  (The truth is, I cried for hours!)  Feeling like I was stoned and a scarlet letter placed upon my shirt.  They outed me because ‘my beliefs are a bit troubling to them’.  We never discussed religion, and if seeing my Mystic page alarmed them, I would have thought that they respected me enough to come to me about it.  They did not – they simply made their assumptions and judgements, and made a decision based on that.  I actually feel sorry for them that they live in such fear…. and I send them love and forgiveness for their judgements upon me.

Have any of you (my readers) felt this kind of judgement before?  Have you ever been judged or treated differently for having beliefs that are ‘outside the box?’  I would love to hear about your experiences.

The good news is that Joy did prevail out of all of this!  My best-est-friend in the whole wide world is a very faithful Christian.  My husband and I have in the past attempted friendly ‘debates’ to get some discussions going about religion and spirituality.  I think in the end we just agreed to disagree, and have still remained friends for years.  I adore her, and she has been such a wonderful support and role model to me as a new Mother.  I couldn’t imagine life without her!  With this said, when I started my Mystic page I had reservations.  I was scared to tell anyone in my ‘inner circle’…for fear of being judged, hated, or rejected.  I know some would think that I am a little ‘goofy’ for believing in angels and spirits.  But hey, that’s just who I am.  ;o)

Today my best-est friend called me up on the phone (and with 3 kids in her house and my one….this is usually a challenge to ever talk on the phone, lol).  She asked me if I was okay, and when I hesitantly answered, “yeah, I’m okay”….she knew I was lying.  She then asked me if it was because of the Mommy group.  I was trying to process…. how did she know?  She could tell something was up from the posts yesterday and today on my private Facebook page…so she asked my husband and he gave her the gist of it.

Scared to death, I decided that it was now or never!  I had to tell her about my Mystic page…. I couldn’t hold it in any longer.  Deep in my heart I knew she would still love me ~ but the human fear of rejection has been too much for me to muster up the strength to share it with her.  I finally did it – I told her, and even more, I shared my page with her to see!  Do you know what happened….?  She showed me what a true Christian she is….she showed no judgement and has put her arms around me in love (from a distance – we live in two different states now, lol).

……she left me a voice message today telling me ‘not to worry about it and that she loves me.’  What a relief to know that she loves me no matter how weird I am, LOL!  I had nothing to fear, but the fear I created myself.  Her family is part of our family (friends that we have chosen to be family!), so I pray that as we move forward from today that we will continue to agree to disagree….and maybe I’ll just be the “Crazy Aunt Beth”.  ;o)

After all…. I am still the same person ~ loving, caring, compassionate, positive, and supportive…..I will be your friend to the end kind of girl!  I love my family, I love my friends, and I love this crazy thing called life.  I respect you, you respect me…everyone is in harmony.  ♥

I truly went from heartache to joy in the last 24 hours!  What a blessed life I live, and I thank God every day for the love, gifts, and people that are part of my circle!    The lesson in this whole experience is that I just need to be ME!  I need to release that fear that I have of rejection, and live life authentically in all areas of my life.  It will still be a process to transition all areas of my life…. but the process has certainly started!  =)

The journey is bumpy sometimes….and sometimes the path curves and we can’t see around the bend….but in the end, there is always Joy!  ♥
