This morning I climbed up that skinny ladder to walk on the floor of my soon to be office. I stood where my desk will be, looked out at the lush green tropical foliage and was amazed. Look at what love created.<\/p>\n<p>This is my life. When I was growing up in NYC I never expected to live in Hawaii or be a writer writing about angels and spirituality no less. I was a tough, scrappy little street kid that didn&#8217;t think twice about getting into a fight.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>I share this as a reminder that anyone can have the life of their dreams. Suffering and hardship really are optional and it&#8217;s an option I suggest you skip.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\nChanging my beliefs, thinking differently, trusting the process, connect with angels and making my spiritual connection a priority in my life is what made such a big difference. Once I opened my mind and my heart to the love of the universe I realized all of my limitations were self imposed. I imposed them on myself because I didn&#8217;t know any better. <\/p>\n<p>Fear or faith, suffering or expansive acceptance, limitations or alignment with our limitless nature. Those are all choices we make in the moment, thought by thought. Love or fear.<\/p>\n<p>Connecting with the angelic realms, letting in the love, allowing them to support you and not expect them to do it for you will profoundly change your life. Give it a try, see what happens. You&#8217;ll be amazed how different life is when we live it based on the loving guidance of our spirit rather than the fearful direction of our old, limiting beliefs.<\/p>\n<p>I thought I&#8217;d let you know.
