A blessing is always the result of your intentions. Blessings can be small yet empowering gifts in our lives. Blessings often go unnoticed because they come by the power of grace. Acts of grace are happening in our lives at every moment. People bless our lives every day, yet the interactions are taken for granted coming in human-form. We seldom stop to consider that there is a continuum... Where we have all met one another before and did the same things together. The blessings of children are, they come into our lives to teach us. It is not the other way around. We are simply here to mentor, guide, and remember what it was to be children, ourselves. If we just remembered who we once were, our commitment to keep the world a place of well-being would be number one.

Blessings feel ecstatic and are bestowed as we cultivate a sense of abundance, generosity and trust. This means sowing reverence for all living things. Sacred rituals are needed, if not daily, to help keep our heads on straight... We also need help to manage new creative endeavors.

Blessings happen in sacred places; they form within our seasonal shifts. We make efforts to learn about our own cycles of blessing, how our bodies and minds shift and change with the seasons; what foods we need; what's required when it's time to rest. Never forget, when all others give up, blessings are about staying loyal and open to the ways of peace.

The oracle is asking that you learn how to appreciate, re-use, and pass on things that might also bless others. This is not a time to take anything for granted. The oracle asks that you stay open to grace, take note of those moments when time seems to stand still. Pay attention to incoming energies and how they literally feed you. Perhaps you have been cut-off from your inner child and need to baby yourself. When was the last time you did something fun and laughed?

It's important to keep positive intentions. Look for the same with those you share your life with. There's much negativity in the world as people struggle to establish safe spaces. Some really get into their anger as a comfort zone (and they're better left alone)! Blessings are borne out of acceptance... They rely upon one's inner-authority and an earnest wish to live a genuine life. This kind of abundance is about faith. It relies on your ability to allow others to live and let live, protect the innocent and nurture them. That also means revering the innocence in you!

"I guess I really purposefully stay away from the negativity of life to a certain extent these days. And it's not about avoiding questions or avoiding issues. It's just that I look for a charged positivism in life as a whole. I can be very optimistic about life - not mine necessarily, but in a general way." - David Bowie; Esquire, Oct. 1995
