I love this quote by Eric Allen. It sums up nicely what the angels teach us when we ask “Why” as we often do trying to make sense of our crazy world and this human experience.<\/p>\n

\"Everyoneismyteacher\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone is my teacher. Some I seek. Some I subconsciously attract. Often I learn simply by observing others. Some may be completely unaware that I\u2019m learning from them, yet I bow deeply in gratitude.\u201d <\/strong>~Eric Allen<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have found myself sometimes just observing the world as it goes by and pondering the mysteries of life. From these sessions of being a ‘watcher’ of life, I have learned much about myself, what I want to create for myself or even not want to create, or sometimes even behave. Regardless of what I take from it, I have learned that when my attention is drawn to something, it has something to teach me about myself, about life, or how to live in a better way.<\/p>\n

Here is a wonderful message from the angels…<\/p>\n

There is a reason for everything and everyone you encounter upon your path and they are all here participating in life to help you on your journey of understanding. Each expansion you experience leads you to mastering certain steps or goals\u00a0in order to reach that next level and so every choice, every decision you make leads you to that understanding and expansion. When you achieve this or ‘get it’\u00a0, you are then ready to move on to the next stage.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are no wrong steps, and it does not truly matter how long you stay where you are in order to fully understand, it matters only that you are here, growing and experiencing. It is always best to put the past behind you – after all is that not where it belongs? As you release any regrets, feelings of hurt, and\u00a0<\/span>unforgiveness<\/span>\u00a0from your heart and your mind, that is when you are ready to\u00a0move on to something more meaningful for you and your life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Your angel guidance is to see the gift in your experiences and learn to live in harmony with each other and all the beautiful beings of the Earth. This includes everyone and everything that is a part of the earth experience, honour them, honour yourself and “bow deeply in gratitude”.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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