Angel Sign The Gerbera

The flower of happiness.
In 1884 Gerbera Daisies were discovered in South Africa by a Scotsman called Robert Jameson.  The flower was eventually bred to create even brighter and larger blooms.  The gerbera is now the fifth most popular flower in the world behind the rose, carnation, chrysanthemum and the tulip.  The Meanings associated with the daisy include purity and innocence; plus the daisy is historically known as the ‘symbol of beauty’.  The gerbera variety of daisy holds an added meaning of ‘cheerfulness’ as it is associated with so many bright colours.

Look what the Angels have delivered into my shop; bright orange gerberas!!!!  Many of you may have heard me talk about my orange colour sign that just doesn’t stop!!!!!  So what does the orange gerbera mean?  The brightly coloured orange gerbera is associated with feelings of creativity, happiness, warmth and sunshine.  To give an orange gerbera to someone expresses a message of true friendship and kindness.  These inspirational prints are the perfect present for a friend and will last for years; not like a gerbera in a vase which unfortunately don’t last very long.

Well Angels looks like I am going to get my creative juices flowing again soon!!

Till next time Angel Blessings of sunshine and warmth!

Angel Sign- Roses

With Valentines day fast approaching lets have a look at the symbolism of the ‘Rose’.  Every flower & tree has its own meaning and symbolism attached to it.  Symbolic associations with the Rose date back to the early Greeks.  Roses have been identified with passion and love since these times beginning with their association with the goddesses Aphrodite & Isis.  Isis was said to have received Marc Anthony in a room knee-deep in rose petals.  The rose is also associated with the Mother Mary who is known as “The Mystic Rose”.  Saint Theresa is often depicted holding a red rose and is known as ‘ The little Flower’.  As a novice nun she was said to scatter flower petals which was her little action for God & Love. Before she died she said “I will send down a shower of roses”.  In modern culture much has been written about roses especially in poetry. Shakespeare also mentioned roses frequently in his plays and sonnets.  In China roses have given inspiration for artistic design in many areas from wall paper to china patterns.
Roses are my favourite flower as not only are they visually beautiful but often have the most heavenly scent.  They are also a reminder to me that even the most beautiful things are not perfect.  One of my favourite sayings is “even a rose has thorns”.
Florists for many years have studied the very special language of flowers especially roses and have ascribed meanings to the colour, variety & number of roses gifted.  Traditionally of course the Rose is considered “The Flower of Love” but as every colour has a different meaning it may be well worth a look at the following list.

Rose meanings from the Flower experts:-
Red Rose:- I love You!
Deep emotions; be it love, longing or desire.  Also associated with respect, devotion, & admiration.
White Rose:- Purity, & Innocence.  I am worthy of you.  You’re Heavenly.
Pink Rose:-Perfect happiness!  Please believe me!  Convey gentle emotions such as admiration, joy & gratitude. Elegance & grace.
Yellow Rose:-Symbol of friendship & caring. No undertones of romance.
Orange Rose:- You are my secret love! Signifies passion & energy. Intense desire.
Lavender Rose:- Love at first sight! Enchantment. Regal majesty, splendor, fascination & adoration.
Blue Rose:- I can’t have you but I can’t stop thinking about you!
Mixed Roses:- I don’t know what my feelings are yet but I sure like you enough to send you roses!!

This Valentines day if you are trying to win someone’s heart it may be an idea to steer away from yellow roses as lovely as they are!!!

Angel Sign Numbers: Duplicate number signs.

Today I want to share a lovely experience that I shared with a little girl called Emily at an expo in Healsville that I recently attended.  Emily,her mother and little sister were in the audience at Healsville when I spoke about Angel signs and how to interpret them.  During my talk Emily’s little sister 9 years asked me about a repeated number sequence that she had been receiving; I knew the individual meanings of the numbers but asked her to come down to my stall and we would look up Doreen Virtues numbers book for more explanation.  Following the talk the two little girls followed me down to my stall; after looking up the number meaning Emily had a question for me.  All of 12 years old and as serious as they come, Emily says to me; “I have a question for you but I don’t think you are going to be able to answer it!”  (This is what I refer to as Golden Tongued Wisdom or “Out of the Mouths of Babes and Others”)  Emily was just delivering a message with no intent of any disrespect.  After she said it I instantly knew that I would not know the answer so I said to Emily; “Well I probably won’t know the answer but lets make a deal; we will work on finding out the answer together.”  She agreed to this.  Emily said that since she had been at the expo she had been seeing a repeated sign; the ‘Paisley Print’.  I must say I was quite amazed; what 9 year old even knows what a paisley print is!  She said “I have seen it everywhere today” and she pointed out several examples as we were standing at my stall.  Aren’t children just awesome!!

Lets look at the Spiritual meaning if the paisley symbol.  The paisley symbol resembles a twisted tear-drop, kidney shape or an elongated comma; it is of Persian & Indian origin, however the modern name ‘paisley’ came from Scotland named after the town of ‘Paisley’.   My investigations found that the paisley design is rich in symbolic and spiritual meaning.  In India the paisley signified the time of harvest, a time of spiritual and socio-economical significance.  In Eastern religions, two paisley symbols are representative of the ying-yang; the interaction of two polar energies :ie male & female of which encompasses creation; (this symbol is therefore often found on wedding bands to signify the union of marriage).  Some believe that the paisley represents a floral spray and the ancient cypress tree of the Middle East; a spiritually rich tree often depicted in the Bible.  The paisley also had its origins in royal designs of the Safavid Dynasty of Persia of the 16th & 17th century.  At that time the paisley floral motif was very popular in decorative designs of royal insignias, crowns, jewellery, persian carpets & embroidery.  The Paisley design saw a resurgence in the 60’s culture with an interest in Indian spirituality and was made popular by the Beatles pilgrimage to India in 1968.

special-gifts-PAISM-sm The Paisley collection now available in the online shop. Gift boxes covered in the paisley print featuring blue Angel as shown, buttterfly, the friendship butterfly, blue bird of happiness & the lucky elephant. 

After this encounter I realised that the Angels were instructing me to do further research into various ‘Symbolic’ ‘Angel Messages’; I’m sure this will prove to be very interesting.
Till next time;

Angel Sign:- Numbers

One of the easiest ways the Angels find to communicate with us is through the use of numbers.  There are many spiritual connotations to numbers and each number has numerological significance.  The Angels communicate with us through numbers throughout our day by using devices such as clocks, videos, watches, & computers.  Messages are also delivered on car number plates, signs, house numbers, street signs, within books, magazines and on billboards. The main thing to take into consideration as with any Angel Sign is a message that is repeated, especially two or three times.  Once you start to see a significant pattern of a repeated number message then it is important to find the significance of the message for yourself.  The Angel message is amplified if the number sequence you are observing is shown in multiples for example 111, 222 or 333.  As I have spoken about previously the number pattern 11:11 is significant for Lightworkers and means that there is an energetic gateway that you are about to experience; so therefore I advise when you see this often to “Make a Wish”.  The following list is some general meanings of Angel Numbers that you can receive.

1. Watch your thoughts.                  111 Energetic Gateway especially for
Lightworkers.

2. Faith & Courage.                         222 Everything will be alright.

3. Ascended Masters.                      333 Ascended Masters around you.

4. Angels.                                        444 Thousand of Angels around you.

5. Change & Transformation.            555 Major changes & opportunities.

6. Earthly Materials & Possessions.   666 Ask for help from above.

7. God; Right Path.                          777 Congratulations you have listened
to Divine Guidance & put it into action.

8. Abundance & Money.                   888 Great prosperity is coming to you.

9. Life Purpose.                               999 Get to work Lightworker.

I hope this is of some assistance in interpreting the Angel numbers you receive.  I recommend Doreen Virtues Angel numbers book; its a great resource to have. An easy to use little book which I personally use everyday.

‘Angel’ Angel Signs (Transcendent Angel Signs)

I would like to write about a very special ‘Angel’ sign that heaven delivers called a ‘Transcendent Angel Sign’.  This sign I refer to as being ‘Transcendent’ meaning; above or beyond what is expected as normal. Of ‘God’; having existence outside the created world and ordinary limitations. Supreme, supernatural or mystical; above and beyond what is expected as normal.  This is not an ‘everyday’ type sign.  Throughout my life I have found that this type of sign is delivered at times of great stress or distress; they are delivered almost ‘unexpectedly’ as one is consumed by the stress that is playing out in life.  It is the most comforting type of sign they deliver and when received an instant overwhelming feeling of calmness and relief washes over you that pulls you back into a state of control.  This sign is generally delivered as an actual visual of an Angel.  I have received many varied transcendent signs.  For example; for the past 25 years I stayed in the one job. Last year I finally decided it was time for a change; one that I found difficult to make as I was so attached to my previous workplace.  In June last year I found myself in a new job as an Associate Lecturer of Nursing at Latrobe University.  I really enjoyed the job and I knew that the Angels had put my in a place where I would develop my public speaking abilities; so I felt grateful for that.  However; for many reasons I found the job taxing.  By the end of the year I found myself asking the Angels for another job.  In January this year I applied for a new job at Melbourne University. As I sat nervously waiting to go in for the interview I found myself asking, “what are you doing?”, “do you really want to change again after only six months?” etc etc  It was then that I suddenly looked up and saw the emblem of the Melbourne University on the glass wall behind the main reception desk; A beautiful Angel!  Instantly I felt calm and a sense of “I’m in the right place came over me”  Yes; I got the job & the hours that I was looking for.  Now everyday I wear a name badge with an Angel on it and see the Angel emblem everywhere.  It feels like the right place for me to be at the present point of time.  I could tell many other similar stories of receiving transcendent Angel signs.  All involve seeing a visual of an Angel. For example; someone wearing an Angel Pin, opening a magazine to find a picture of an Angel and a story about Angels, someone has an Angel pen, receiving a gift of an Angel or a card with an Angel on it, receiving an email about Angels, looking at the TV to see someone making Angel biscuits etc.  The only time that I have received this sign in a format other than a visual Angel is when someone has said “Hello my name is Angel” or when I have rung someone about an important matter and they say; “actually I am just outside a shop that is called ‘Angels …….!!!”

Double Rainbow Tree

The Double Rainbow nature sign is an Angel sign that is being presented frequently to me at the moment from the Angels.  I received a beautiful email from a friend with this sign last week so I thought that I would share it with you all.  As I have explained before the double rainbow is a sign from the Angels of a “Special Blessing”.  It doesn’t matter how this sign is presented to you; either in the sky or in the form of a picture; the significance is still the same.
The message seems particularly relevant as Valentines day visits us, so the Angel message to you may be from the words or from the picture or both.
The message above the picture read:-

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn’t supposed to ever let you down probably will.  You will have your heart broken more than once and it’s harder every time.
You’ll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken.
You’ll fight with your best friend.  You’ll blame a new love for things an old one did.
You’ll cry because time is passing too fast, and you’ll eventually lose someone you love.
So take too many pictures, laugh to much, and love like you’ve never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you’ll never get back.
Don’t be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin.

Author & Photographer Unknown. (Thank you Kathy).

Understanding a visual Angel message such as the picture above.
The following are some symbolic interpretations that an be related to the rainbow tree picture:

The Double rainbow:- A Special Blessing
The Tree:- symbolic of the basic structure of our inner lives.  The tree spiritually symbolises the ‘Tree of Life’ & represents the union of heaven, earth & water.  When we learn to understand our own tree, we are able to live life successfully on all levels.
Branches on a tree:- signify stages of growth that we go through.
The Road:- suggests an individual’s way forward, the road also reflects the way of doing.  If a particular stretch of road is highlighted; as in this picture, it is significant of a period of time.
Turns in the road:- indicate changes in direction.

So I hope that you can see just how many things the Angels may be telling you through one small picture.  What will be deciphered by one person may be totally different to someone else as the message will be intended for the individual and what is happening in your life at the present time.  The Angels are always trying to reassure us and are constantly around to guide us on our path.
It just takes practice in observing & interpreting the signs we receive.

Wishing you all a wonderful month of love & hope you had a beautiful Valentines Day.
Never forget that your Angels love you eternally.
Special Angel Blessings full of Love

Golden Tongued Wisdom/The Colour Gold:- Angel Signs

Happy New Year & welcome to 2010.  Did you notice that the new year began whilst the moon was full.  I spent New Years Eve with my sister and her friends this year.  Whilst I was talking with a couple of her friends I looked up at the sky and noticed the most magnificent sign.  There was the most unusual cloud formation in the sky and even though the cloud was reasonably dark the edge of the cloud was highlighted by the full moon behind it.  Several of us tried to take photos on phones but no one had a reasonable camera to capture it.  It was then, during much discussion about the cloud that a man (a dairy farmer) said to me “Its a sign; it is a cloud with a silver lining!”  Immediately his wife followed with; “I think it is actually a gold lining on the cloud, that’s a great sign for the New Year!”  Comments that people make like this are Angel Signs called ‘Golden Tongued Wisdom’  Even though they may not be aware of the significance of what they have said the message was taken by me to mean that 2010 is going to be really wonderful & difficulties would resolve.
An old proverb says that “every cloud has a silver lining”.  The cloud referred to is a storm cloud. The correlation therefore between the cloud and the silver lining has been applied to situations in life:- for example we should never feel hopeless because difficult times always lead to better days and a negative situation can produce something that is very positive.  The sign has also been seen as a ‘hopeful comforting prospect in the midst of difficulty’; imagine then if the lining was actually ‘Gold’.
Lets then look at the colour ‘Gold ‘and its associated meanings.  Gold is a high energetic vibration.  The Angels tell me that the Gold Lining is a sign of “Transformation”; a cycle completed full of learning & growth.  This golden energy will renew the spirit in readiness for easier & brighter days.  Other meanings for the colour Gold are:- glory, understanding, attraction, spiritual inspiration, wealth & abundance, compassion, confidence & stability.  Sounds great to me!
2010 began with a storm and an inch of rain which is truly a blessing in an area affected by drought.  Just the beginning to brighter days.  I would like to wish you all a golden lined 2010.  May if be full of Angels to guide your way & may you be showered with many Angel Blessings.

PS:- after posting this blog I noticed that at the end of my recent blog titled “rainbow clouds” I said “may all your clouds have rainbows or a silver lining!”; what an interesting a quick response from the Angels. I feel so grateful that I could share it.  Namaste  xx

Rainbow Clouds

The Rainbow Angel Sign continues to present in the sky.  If you have been following my blogs you would be able to imagine how excited I was to open the local paper and see the most beautiful picture that was sent in by a lady from Murchison.  The headline read” ‘Rainbow cloud’ a unique sight.”  I would love to know the time that the picture was taken because the interpretation of the number would have significance to the meaning of the sign for those who were fortunate enough to view it.  How wonderful that this lady chose to share this beautiful work of God.  Through her generosity and most definitely guidance from above this sign has been presented to many many more people but just in a different format. Eventhough the picture of the ‘rainbow cloud’ is in a newspaper the sign is just as significant to those who took notice.

The article went on to describe a short interview from a spokesperson from the Bureau of Meteorology who referred to the rainbow cloud as a Parhelion or “Sundog”.  I would love to know if this person actually viewed the photo.  Of course this lead me to do more research on the subject.  I found an interesting website which I would encourage you to look at which has many awesome photos on it with corresponding descriptions.  http://www.atopics.co.uk/rainbows.notabow.htm
This site describes different coloured cloud formations such as the parhelion, corona, glory, circumzenithal arc, circumhorizon arc & iridescent clouds.  I am certainly no expert but to me the photo in the paper corresponded to the photo of ‘iridescent clouds’ on this website not a sundog.

The actual cloud shape of the picture in the newspaper appeared to me to look like a pair of wings; truly Angelic.  Therefore a beautiful Angel Blessing for those who saw it.  At Christmas time we are reminded of our Angel Guides frequently both visually with Christmas decorations such as Angels on our trees, on Christmas cards and through music in Christmas Carols. Despite all these obvious signs the Angels are doing their best to let us know that they are near and care for us dearly so keep your eyes open for the next sign that is delivered personally to you; maybe in the sky.

PS:- Remember that the Angels love us to laugh.  Just today I was driving with my eldest son to do some Christmas shopping.  We were chatting away about his cousin coming over to play in a special cricket match with my youngest son next week. I said “it should be really good!!”  honestly as the words came out of my mouth a car drove past us and the number plate was no joke “GOODIE”.  We both saw it & just burst out laughing.  To note we had a lovely day.

PSS:- May all your clouds have rainbows or a silver lining. Angel Blessings at Christmas

Rainbow and Butterfly Angel Sign:- Beyond Words

I would like to introduce readers to a lovely website which may prove to be helpful for anyone who is grieving:- www.beyondwords.net.au   Aileen Waits’ website promotes a book she co-wrote with Lea McDonald. Their book/journal is aptly called “Beyond Words” and features of course a beautiful rainbow and butterfly on the front.  This journal is designed to help people through their grief by providing a sacred place for wonderful memories to be stored.  “Beyond Words” is dedicated to Aileens daughter Zoe who joined the Angels in 2004.
I have been talking with Aileen over the past few months about her website and was very excited to check it out myself just last week.  You can imagine what I said when I saw the cover of Aileens book:-  Of course it has a rainbow on it!!!  If you have been reading my blogs you will see that the Angels have had me write about rainbows for some time now; even my last blog featured a picture of an ‘Earth Bound Rainbow’.  The synchronicities with the Rainbow sign just keep coming.

The butterfly is a beautiful ‘Angel Nature Sign’.  I believe that my father has been sending me butterflies for years now; he passed in 1985 when I was 22.  Every time I see a butterfly I instantly think of my wonderful father and feel him close to me.  The butterfly is a nature sign that has many meanings including:- renewal & rejuvenation, the ability to bounce back form disappointments & setbacks and also a wonderful transformation of spirituality.  The butterfly stands for metamorphosis, beauty, grace, balance and symbolises the human soul.
I would like to wish Aileen many Angel blessings as she continues her work with those who are grieving.  I encourage you all to support her work by buying “Beyond Words” for yourself or someone who may benefit from it.  Check out her website atwww.beyondwords.net.au

Till next time notice all the rainbows and butterflies the Angels send you.

Angel Blessings
