I woke up this morning with a dream that I had so much luggage to pack that I missed my flight. Not a very subtle message.

Are you carrying a lot of baggage that is weighing you down and keeping you from soaring in your life? Can you relate?

I knew this dream was meant to catch my attention, and I knew my angels were behind it. They have been playing with me to see my work on myself from a different perspective, in a new light. They want me to have some fun with it, to let go of the serious self-criticism that comes so easily. I am so hard on myself, and they want me to see that it’s not working! Being critical, judgmental, harsh on myself is NOT the solution.

So my angels play with me and ask me to play along. Isn’t that a much better approach to personal growth?

One day they had me see shame in a different perspective. They had me realize I was feeling shame for feeling shame and going down a deep dark rabbit hole. They actually got me to laugh when I saw the dynamic that was derailing me, keeping me from being the light and love I know I am as I encourage others to do. My angels helped me quickly write an article about this insight called “A Surprise in the Shadows”. It is in the September/October issue of the On Purpose Woman Magazine. Check it out here.

This morning they got me to laugh about the simple imagery in my dream. Yes, it is time to let go of my baggage so that I can begin to soar with them. Doesn’t that sound so much better?

How do your angels get your attention? In your dreams? Through feathers, coins, repeating numbers?

Let me know in the comments. I would love to hear how you receive their messages.
