Transformation with Archangel Azrael

I'm going through a huge cycle of transformation at the moment! I've been working with Archangel Azrael - angel of transformation.  He helps with transition in our lives and is also a grief counsellor for the deceased and bereaved. 

I am currently painting angels for a commission for www.palmyhealing.com. 

Before I start every angel illustration I research the angel so that I can understand and connect with them. My research for Azrael began a couple of months ago just about the time when the current transformative cycle in my life really ramped up a gear.  

A main challenge for me for the last 2 years was my health after being diagnosed with CFS. My health improved enough to that I could start my business in April this year. My health has continued to improve which, I believe, is allot to do with living my life's dream of working for myself as an artist.  I'd suppressed that dream for so long that my mind and body had literally become depressed. 

Wonderful that it is to be working from home - one of the things about being an illustrator is that it's very sedentary.  I can spend hours at a time either illustrating or doing business admin.

Since become poorly, after my separation in 2011, I piled on the weight.  I'd always been naturally slim.  Recently I decided that I had mourned the loss of my sleek self for too long!  I'd not had the energy for exercise until recent months.  And I have found my body recently to have been calling me to action!

I used to love running.  I felt too chicken to go running with my curvy figure, and I'd procrastinated that I didn't have time to fit in exercise into my working day. Another barrier / excuse was that I'm a single mum so can't get out in the eves to a class.  This week I thought "Fuck it!"

It's now or never. And I went for a run after the school drop off.

This is my new routine; drop kids off at school, run for 40 mins, work. It's been amazing - I've been more productive even though my working day starts at 10am.  I have more energy. I'm sleeping better! Time will tell what other benefits come out of this! 

I have a confession. In my wardrobe I have a storage bag with all my slim clothes.  My stylish me clothes.  How I miss wearing them! 

So my aim is to slim down to enough to get back into them.  It's a 6 month plan to achieve my target weight.  

I've tried dieting, pills and weird powders. I know from past experience that the only thing that works is regular exercise combined with healthy eating. 

I know my self determination will get me there with the support through my positive health transformation with the help of the Angels.
