I hand her the cards and I explained her how to use them. I could see the excitement on her face but also her disbelief. Why Angels will talk to her anyway? Finally, she agreed to try.

And we were both surprised!

The three cards she picked were “Signs” “New Love” and “Soulmate”. The message was loud and clear…
“Pay attention to the messages the angels are giving you, a new love is around the corner and this person is your soulmate”

Why surprised?

My friend’s heart is closed to romance, love and partnership. She was deeply hurt in a past relationship and she promised herself that she will never again give anyone the power to hurt her. I knew she had been in several relationships before with people who eventually walked away from her because of her fear to open her heart to return their love. The fact that everybody was abandoning her gave her more reasons to distrust people and to close her heart even further; not realizing that she was creating her own reality.
When she looked at the cards, I saw her eyes bright with hope but also shadowed with fear. I thought to myself, oh GOD… please be gentle. I have been in a relationship with a Soulmate before and I know by experience how challenging it can be if you don’t open yourself and accept what is being given to you and let the Universe guide you when things get difficult. (They always do….)

And yes, she found her soulmate. And for a couple of weeks she was happy but then her fears kicked in and every time her soulmate tried to get closer, she will turn her back and hide again in her little perfect world with walls so thick where nobody could hurt her, not realizing that she was bringing her own pain into that secured place, making her existence more miserable than ever. She loved him but her fear of being hurt was more powerful than all the love the Universe was giving her thru him.

I watched these two souls for months going back and forward, knowing that they loved each other deeply with the kind of love that only many lifetimes together can create.

Then one day I received a phone call from her Soulmate, he wanted to see me. That day I learned that they were not longer together, I watch with sadness the devastation in his eyes and I asked him what happened. With his heart on his hands, broken in pieces by the pain of losing her, he explained that she refused the wonderful gift that the Universe had giving both, that she had decided that she didn’t want to continue with the relationship. She exercised her Free Will.

I felt his pain so deeply in my heart that I was unable to speak. I just hugged him in silence and let him weep. He walked away and never saw him again.

I was not surprised of the outcome. I closed the door, sat for a minute and I allowed my mind to take me back to look at my own past experiences.

Free Will…one of GOD’s given gifts to us. Once we exercise it, the Universe cannot interfere. (Or help)
How many times have we used it out of fear or pride or ego? How many times we were so blind to the gifts of the Universe that after exercising our free will we realized that “Oooppps… now what?” And then we ended up screaming like idiots “GOD please get me out of here”. And GOD will. But then, the people we hurt in the process might never forgive us.

Long time ago I promised myself that next time when the road gets bumpy and I decide to find a smoother ride, before I change paths… I will remind myself the kind of wonderful hiding gifts or lessons I might find after sorting out the obstacles. Do I need to exercise my Free Will? Not anymore. I learned that trusting GOD puts me in a much smoother path.

I know, GOD has never giving me something I can’t handle. In taking the bumpy roads with all its challenges instead of the smoother ones, I have found my own strength. I have also found, when reaching the end of the road, my spiritual family cheering (very loudly, I might say) for me.

And then the ultimate gift… GOD and his Angels pouring their Love and Light into my heart creating a bridge between Heaven and Earth.

When the going gets tough…Trust the Universe

When darkness tries to enter your heart…turn the lights on…

Remember: Love is the ultimate gift from the Universe…LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! Never be afraid of giving it away, it always comeback!

Blessed be…

I understood his predicament and his need for freedom. I knew that one day I would have to let him go and be who he needed to be…free and royal.

I learned that I cannot caged an eagle not matter how much I love him. I set him free… It was not easy to let go…it hurt deeply because I learned to love him, he became part of me.

From time to time I see him flying around my house…proud and regal…looking down at me thankful that I understood.
