\"2016bn\"<\/a><\/p>\n

2016 is a nine year and that means it is a year of completion. Some of you may have been feeling the affects of this already over the past few months as cycles that are done have needed to be completed. If you have caught the message and did the work then you are probably feeling more optimistic than those who haven’t done the work are feeling. None the less, there is no time like the present and that is truly what counts. This is the year to take a leap in your spiritual growth, you are being prepared for a new cycle and so there is no time like the present to start planting the seeds you want to create and finishing off all cycles you are done with.<\/p>\n

My son gave me \u00a0a Buddha Board for Christmas. It is a board that sits on a tray of water and has a brush. You can paint something, a picture, a saying, or whatever, but it only lasts a few minutes and then it is gone. The slate is clean and ready for a new creation, thought of intention. It is great. I have been using to affirm things, to write messages of love to those on both sides, to release unwanted thoughts, and to give freedom to wanted ones. I have drawn pictures, made hieroglyphics, and more. The point is, that it is only ever in the now and then the masterpiece begins to fad. I like to watch at the interesting messages that are created as it transforms… a kind of scrying. This is the perfect tool for this new year.<\/p>\n

Be fearless in your pursuit of a happy life. It is a time to take action and complete cycles and to make the most of the amazing opportunities that are becoming\u00a0available to you. Information that can help you but which can also be sometimes difficult to hear will be a theme for this year as expanded growth is not always comfortable, especially if you have been failing to see the signs or do the work that has been necessary for you. If you have been resisting, it will persist and with a bit more energy than before. Do the work and know the score and you will be just fine.<\/p>\n

Walk away from distractions and dishonest associations. Take a good long look and know that it is okay to realize that what you thought you wanted isn’t the best choice for you, your happiness, or your life. It just isn’t worth the effort when there is so much more you can do with the tools you now have at your disposal. Indecision holds you back. Make the choice that is best for you rather than trying to please others or make them happy at your own expense. To thy own heart be true.<\/p>\n

Be practical and yet also generous and gracious as you move forward. You have the magical ability to make anything more beautiful and when you take this outlook out into the world it makes a difference. You will find other human angels on your path to help you as this energy for great shifts is becoming stronger and more of you are expanding your Light.<\/p>\n

Tons of love, Sharon and the angels xox<\/p>\n
