Truth
Today's Angel Card is Truth.
I feel like I keep picking this one.
The state of being the case. I need to work on stepping outside of myself and looking at the bigger picture to get a better grasp of what "the truth" is. There are so many area's of my life where the lines of truth and perception are blurred. What I thought was truth was nothing more than a flowery fancy fallacy. And what I thought could never be the case was indeed the true state of being.
Fact is stranger than fiction sometimes... and I need to really take a hard look at what is real - what is truth - and what isn't.

Healing
Today's Angel Card is Healing.
I didn't do a very good job here. I did quite a bit of journal entries the old fashioned way, but didn't quite get them transferred over. But I kept entering the words for a while. You don't need my thoughts to draw your own inspiration from the word of the day.
To draw healing feels like a slap in the face today. My body is in rough shape. I haven't told anyone just how bad it's really gotten lately. Truth be told I don't want to go to the Dr. After several years in a row of surgery and being left to feel more and more like a science experiment and less like a person, it gets old quick.
But I'm working on healing my heart. It's been a rough month... I could use some self kindness and healing.

Awakening
Today's Angel Card is Awakening.
There have been a couple times in my life when I have had "Ah ha!" moments where I really thought I had things figured out. That I had my eyes opened as to what was really going on around me. Both in positive and negative ways.
Maya Angelou was definitely a wise woman. And it's true... we can choose to be blind. Lately I've been approaching situations with my eyes open. I would rather be fully awakened and see what is coming than play ignorant and be absolutely blindsided by things later down the road. It's definitely a form of protection.
"Awakening" also makes me think of Buddha. Spiritual Awakening. Opening up of the body, mind and spirit to reach a higher level of consciousness. I know I'm not ready for something like that, but I strive to be able to achieve something similar someday.

Respect
Today's Angel Card is Respect.
I've lost respect for a lot of people in my life. But on the flip side, I've met a lot of new people lately who I hold a great deal of respect for.
Overall, respect is an incredibly selfish notion. Whether or not you respect someone is often based solely on ones opinion. Opinions are extremely emotion based, and facts are often left out. I try to keep an even keel as far as respect goes. For example, I respect Lana DelRay as an artist for her talent and self confidence, regardless of the fact that she romanticizes domestic abuse. Of course, even that is just my opinion.
I do believe respect has 2 faces... The respect that is given to decent human beings strictly for being decent human beings, and the respect that is earned. I try to treat everyone with respect, but once you break my trust and lose my respect, it has to be earned from that point forward.
Respecting myself is a daily work in progress as well. I'd rather offer respect and compassion to a complete stranger, than offer it to myself.
