Embracing Abundance
Divine Guidance- January 2025
Abundant. That is the word that I selected last month to guide my growth in 2025. In proper fashion, as soon as I declared it, the tests began. The old stories, statements, patterns and energy of scarcity began to rise. I quickly squashed them as if I was playing my bestie’s favorite childhood carnival game, Whack-a-Mole. Just like the game, as soon as I thought I had them all, a few stragglers popped up.
And then 2025 arrived! I started the year in the most abundant way. I meditated, prayed, journaled and then joined one of my favorite people on the planet, Kailei Carr, to deliver the New Year Morning Motivation and the 2025 Divine Guidance. With very little in my notes, I surrendered myself to God’s plan and They moved through me to bring to life the guidance for this year. It was simply beautiful. The way light poured through us and those experiencing the session live. I believe we all felt an abundance of love, light, truth and peace. I know you will feel it as you watch the episode below.
In truth, I have been seeing 2025 for a few years now. What I’ve seen is not all pretty. That doesn’t mean it is not an incredible year, because it will be. It does mean that God has been preparing me to prepare others for the more complex parts of this year. Divine messengers have to understand the context of the world, settle into their knowing and then cast hope and truth to others. In order to do that, I need time to accept the things that I know will come and to ground myself in the beauty of the opportunities that will also present themselves.
Perhaps what has been the most complex to accept is knowing that there is a plentiful harvest. There is lots of abundance in all forms available to many. I also know that some will choose familiar paths and old stories that lock them into scarcity and suffering. My heart aches for them, yet I know that just like you and I, they deserve to make the choice that is right for them.
One of my greatest lessons is found in the reminder that my role is to help others experience the love of God and cast light towards Them. I often have to remember that it is an individual choice to walk towards that light. It is a really important thing for us to recognize. No one loves what they are forced into accepting. It is a powerful truth for us to remember. Love demonstrated through choice, freedom, and space to grow at your own pace. Know that as you may desire others to connect in ways that mirror your beliefs, each person is entitled to explore their own path. What we can do unequivocally is to offer unconditional love and grace. That makes all the difference.
Wishing you the very best this year has to offer and a prayer that you expand the meaning of abundance in your life!
Peace & Blessings,
Anika

Give Me The Rest
Several months ago, I was reflecting on a new offering for my business. I had many of the pieces I needed, but a few were missing. In addition, I sought clarity on how to move forward with a current offering. I went to God with an immediate ask, feeling as though I needed all the clarity in that very moment. What was required to ensure the success of my launch? What would secure the continued growth of my current offering?
“God, please give me the rest!”
Maybe I shouted it. Perhaps I whispered. I think I said “please,” but my recollection is incomplete. I wanted all the information I needed right then. I sat with a blank page in front of me, pen in hand, waiting for instructions. Impatiently, I waited. Frustration began to seep through my usually graceful exterior. I wanted the rest.
The exact order of events is a blur. I felt as though I had been in a wrestling match. No words were spoken. There were no familiar tingling sensations or answers flowing from my hand to the page. Nothing. Silence. I was exhausted.
I remember the heaviness of my exhale. I felt uncertain about what to do with the business items I had brought to God. I could have made decisions on my own, but I built my business as an altar to God. I know it belongs to Them, and I am honored to lead it. Deciding without alignment was not how I wanted to lead, at least not intentionally. So there I sat, waiting for an answer. Finally, it came.
“Rest.”
That delicate word drove me to tears. Rest? No, I want the rest—the plan. I wanted the rest of the actions delivered into my hands. Whether I said this aloud or my heart raised it to God’s ears, the response remained the same.
“Rest.”
