Please welcome Rev. Kimberly Marooney, Ph.D.<\/p>\n<p>April is about soul connection and life purpose. Several months ago, this energy of resurrecting soul purpose started building and gaining intensity. The resurrection energy peaked around Easter and is still a strong force affecting us more deeply than we might realize. <\/p>\n<p>Archangel Gabriel announces the major duties of our spiritual destiny at the calling of our souls. The angel of resurrection, his is the voice of God and the bringer of good news. It was Gabriel who appeared to Mary to awaken the remembrance of her mission as Jesus&#8217; mother. Gabriel who watched over the prophet Mohamed and inspired Joan of Arc. Gabriel influenced Zoroaster. <\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">When you are ready, your soul calls to Gabriel to come and announce<br \/>\nthe spiritual duties of your destiny. Sometimes this comes in a dramatic<br \/>\nexperience of blazing glory like I had when I received the calling to<br \/>\nco-creation <i>Angel Blessings Cards <\/i>with<br \/>\nthe angels. And sometimes it comes in more subtle ways that are difficult to<br \/>\ndiscern. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">To resurrect something is to bring it to life. Think of<br \/>\nnature. In the fall some trees lose their leaves. By winter, the trees look<br \/>\ndead. Then in the spring the leaves bud. New life flows through and they come<br \/>\nback to life. So it is in our natural cycle. Parts of our lives wither away and<br \/>\ndie clearing the way for soul qualities to awaken in our consciousness.<br \/>\nResurrection is the rebirthing of our eternal qualities as the parts of the ego<br \/>\nthat we no longer need die away. What is it in you that is calling to be<br \/>\nbrought to life?<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><b>Thwarted Purpose<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Kathleen asked, &#8220;What happens when you have a strong desire<br \/>\nas a child to follow a certain path, like being a dancer, and then as an adult,<br \/>\nall the doors seem to close? I felt strongly led for the first forty years of<br \/>\nmy life. Now looking back, it doesn&#8217;t seem like there was much of a divine plan<br \/>\nat all. I feel so lost. I gave so much of life and now I&#8217;m having trouble<br \/>\nfinding the energy, inspiration and joy to forge a new path, especially without<br \/>\na specific goal or vision.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Like Kathleen, I grew up feeling a strong calling to music.<br \/>\nI became quite an accomplished concert flutist. I gave my whole life to it.<br \/>\nJust as I started my professional career, my hand developed pain that was so<br \/>\nbad I had to stop playing. I was devastated. It was a huge shock. I was left<br \/>\nlost.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">I had the thought, &#8220;If I can&#8217;t do what my soul is calling me<br \/>\nto do, I might as well just make money.&#8221; So I became a financial planner. After<br \/>\nfifteen challenging years, my soul decided that was enough of that. Devastating<br \/>\nillness came along to help me make a change I was unwilling to make any other<br \/>\nway. And thank God for it. My true spiritual destiny was resurrected from the<br \/>\nwreckage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><b>Signposts for Change<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Looking back, my love of music is an important quality of my<br \/>\nsoul. Once I left the financial arena, music was instrumental in my healing<br \/>\nexperiences with God. Music is a part of everything I do now helping me to stay<br \/>\nconnected with my soul and with God. For Kathleen, the gift of dance and movement<br \/>\nis probably a quality of her soul that is guiding her to a new form of<br \/>\nexpression that is way beyond anything she could have imagined.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Circumstances in life are guiding us in the direction we<br \/>\nneed to go, but that guidance is difficult to recognize. The parts of life that<br \/>\nwe like the least are actually guiding us to our soul destiny. With endeavor,<br \/>\ndiscernment, and persistence, we can discover where these signposts are leading<br \/>\nus. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">The angels help us along the way if we ask. The angels<br \/>\nfortify us to tolerate the withering death of our most cherished dreams. This<br \/>\nis where the miracles and magnificence begin. In the surrender, our souls can<br \/>\nlead us to our true spiritual destiny and a more amazing and fulfilling life<br \/>\nthan we ever could have imagined. How are you being called? What are your<br \/>\ndeepest soul desires? What do you know of your spiritual destiny?<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Rev.
