One of the keys that I have found helps immensely during periods of great change is the ability to surrender to what is, no matter how unsettling it may feel at that time. Simply allow the situation to be\u00a0and know that it is\u00a0part of the greater plan. Remain flexible and shift gears if necessary, perhaps reevaluating your\u00a0immediate goals and how\u00a0you are\u00a0going to achieve them.

\nYour Angel Guidance\u00a0to realize that a new level of flexibility is required when you make the\u00a0decision to grow. Personal expansion\u00a0requires\u00a0stamina and the ability to extend your\u00a0perceptions\u00a0beyond current circumstances. The challenge becomes how\u00a0to remain present for the real work that is occurring. This is especially true during periods of rapid\u00a0change.\u00a0The creative push\u00a0becomes\u00a0its strongest, burning away that which does not resonate to the new and higher way of being that is attempting to come forth.<\/p>\n

Parts of life that were once familiar may fall away, and some of them never to return.\u00a0Letting\u00a0go, surrendering, and understanding that a part of you\u00a0moves with the need\u00a0of release inherent in any change.<\/p>\n

Shifts in our Collective Consciousness<\/h4>\n

Collectively, we are in a forward moving motion right now. With this global shift, responsibilities are great. If you believe in life beyond this current body, then you\u00a0are\u00a0open to the understanding that each and every soul on earth was cognizant that these changes where possible and elected to come here to experience them and to contribute in your own unique way. This is exactly why you choose to come here and experience being a spirit having a physical – finite experience.<\/p>\n

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