A Gentle Christmas Reflection

Embracing Grief, Presence, and Self-Compassion This Holiday Season

Christmas is often portrayed as a season of joy, celebration, and togetherness. Twinkling lights, festive music, and cherished traditions surround us, carrying an unspoken expectation of cheer and connection. Yet for many, this season stirs quieter, more complex emotions.

If Christmas feels heavy, subdued, or emotionally layered for you, please know this:

You are perfectly okay.


When Christmas Feels Out of Tune

There are times when life simply doesn’t align with the outward celebration of the holidays. Grief, loss, major life changes, or emotional exhaustion can make the brightness of Christmas feel overwhelming rather than comforting.

You may be missing someone dear.
You may be navigating changes in family dynamics.
You may be mourning a past version of yourself or a life that has shifted.

All of this is valid.

I share this from personal experience. Having lost both my father and my stepfather, along with navigating other significant family changes, I understand how deeply these moments can affect the heart. These experiences have shaped who I am, influenced my work, and guide how I hold space for others. Because of this, I honor your journey—exactly as it is.


Being Gentle With Yourself During the Holidays

Gentleness does not mean forcing joy or pretending everything is fine. It means allowing yourself to be where you are, without judgment.

Being gentle with yourself may look like:

  • Stepping back from traditions that feel draining
  • Saying no without guilt or explanation
  • Choosing quiet moments over crowded gatherings
  • Allowing emotions to move through you naturally
  • Honoring memories without pressure to “move on”

You do not need to match the energy of the season.
You only need to honor your own.


Missing Loved Ones at Christmas

Grief does not pause for the holidays. Missing loved ones can bring waves of sadness, longing, and reflection—sometimes unexpectedly.

Loss comes in many forms:

  • The passing of loved ones
  • Shifts in family relationships
  • Changes in identity or life direction
  • Endings that were not chosen

If you are navigating any form of loss or transition, remember this: your heart deserves patience and compassion.

Love does not disappear.
Connections endure beyond the physical.
And you are never truly alone.


A Gentle Christmas Blessing

May you move through this season at your own pace.
May peace find you, even when joy feels distant.
May memories bring warmth rather than pressure.

May you feel supported by both the seen and unseen.
May comfort meet you in the quiet moments.
And may you trust that your way through this season is enough.


Gratitude From AngelBlessing

I want to express heartfelt gratitude to everyone who supports AngelBlessing—whether by following this space, sharing messages, booking services, or simply being present with an open heart.

Your trust and connection allow this community to continue as a space of compassion, healing, and gentle guidance. Thank you for allowing me to hold space for you and for trusting me to walk alongside you.


Honouring Loved Ones During the Holidays

If it feels meaningful, you may honor those you miss by:

  • Lighting a candle beside their photo
  • Playing their favourite music
  • Speaking to them—they are listening
  • Journaling, creating art, or sitting quietly with your hand on your heart

You may also choose to:

  • Plant a tree or garden in their memory
  • Share stories that keep their legacy alive
  • Cook their favorite dish
  • Donate to a cause they loved
  • Create a scrapbook or photo album of treasured moments

There is no right or wrong way—only what feels true for you.


Closing Reflection

If Christmas feels different this year, that is okay. There is no single way to experience this season.

Honor your heart.
Honor your pace.
Honor your process.

You are held.
You are supported.
You are deeply valued. 🤍

With love and angelic blessings,
Nancy from AngelBlessing

A Season of Return: Embracing Renewal & Soul-Led Growth ✨

Hello, beautiful souls,

Thank you for your patience, grace, and continued presence during my absence. I want to start with a sincere apology for being away from the blog for so long. This pause was not a disconnection; rather, it was a devotion—a conscious inward journey to truly meet myself where I am.

Over the past months, I have been deeply engaged in self-care, learning, healing, and growth. This season has required me not just to teach or guide, but to be the student, to immerse myself in the work, and to allow myself to be vulnerable.

Personal Growth: Walking the Path I Guide Others Through 🌱

One of the most meaningful aspects of this journey has been my own personal growth. In various classes and training spaces, I have been learning to embrace vulnerability—asking for what I need, softening my heart, and trusting my voice even more deeply.

I have fully opened myself to my purpose, values, drive, and compassion, and along the way, I’ve recognized something powerful:

  • ✨ I have always been authentic.
  • ✨ I have come so far.

Through numerous trials and challenges, I’ve come to understand that growth and this spiritual journey isn’t about becoming someone new—it’s about rediscovering who you’ve always been beneath survival, expectations, and fear. I have walked this path myself. I understand the courage it takes to be truly yourself, to be present, to embrace vulnerability, and to open your heart even when it feels uncomfortable.

This lived experience profoundly informs my work. I don’t guide from theory alone; I guide from embodiment, compassion, and respect for the process. I value the bravery it takes to show up authentically, to heal consciously, and to choose yourself repeatedly.

A Chapter of Professional Expansion & Integration 🌿

In tandem with my personal growth, I have been expanding my professional foundation through dedicated training and certification, including:

  • 🌿 Life Coaching Certification
  • 🎨 Holistic Integrative Creative Arts Therapy Practitioner Certification
  • ✋ Reiki Master Certification
  • 🔮 Continued Mediumship Development
  • 💖 Ongoing personal healing and nervous-system integration

Each layer has fortified my ability to create safe, grounded, and compassionate spaces—for both others and myself.

Coaching & Custom Integrative Healing Packages ✨

I am thrilled to announce that my work has evolved into custom coaching and integrative healing packages that thoughtfully combine everything I offer.

These soul-led packages may include:

  • Life coaching rooted in clarity, values, and aligned action
  • Reiki and energy healing
  • Creative arts–based therapeutic practices
  • Intuitive and mediumistic guidance
  • Angelic support and spiritual mentoring
  • Practical tools for grounding, embodiment, and integration

Every package is custom-created to honor the uniqueness of your journey. Whether you are navigating transitions, burnout, self-discovery, or purpose alignment, we co-create a supportive container that respects your pace, your nervous system, and your truth.

✨ A gentle note: I am still welcoming volunteers to assist me in completing my required practice hours, particularly for Reiki and integrative healing sessions. If you feel called to receive support while also helping me fulfill this part of my journey, I would love to connect.

Angel Blessings for the Holiday Season 👼✨

As we enter this sacred time of year, my Angel Blessing offerings are once again available. These sessions are gentle, nurturing, and heart-centered, providing reassurance, clarity, and loving support during the holidays.

They offer a beautiful way to close out the year feeling held, supported, and aligned, or to gift that energy to someone you love.

Honoring Christmas & the Winter Solstice 🎄❄️

This season carries profound meaning. Christmas invites us into love, compassion, and connection, while the Winter Solstice honors stillness, reflection, and the quiet return of the light.

Here’s a simple Solstice Ritual you can practice at home:

🌟 Winter Solstice Light Ritual 🌟

  1. Light a candle (white, gold, or natural beeswax if available).
  2. Take three slow, grounding breaths.
  3. Reflect on what you are ready to release from this year—old patterns, exhaustion, or self-doubt.
  4. Write down one intention you wish to carry into the new year.
  5. Say aloud:
    “I honor the darkness that shaped me and welcome the returning light within and around me.”
  6. Sit quietly for a few moments, allowing peace to settle into your body.

Close with gratitude—for your resilience, your growth, and the courage you embody in continuing to evolve.

What’s Coming Next ✨

I am deeply grateful to be back here with you. This pause has refined my offerings, strengthened my integrity, and reminded me of the significance of this work.

💫 Coming very soon: I will be posting a reading to support you through the end of this year and into the next—filled with warmth, reassurance, and guidance for the journey ahead.

Thank you for honouring my quiet season and for being present as I step forward renewed, grounded, and open-hearted.

From my heart to yours—
🎄 Merry Christmas
❄️ Happy Winter Solstice
✨ Wishing you peace, healing, and aligned beginnings

With love and light 💖

A Return to Wonder: Weekly Soul Guidance

Happy Sunday Beautiful souls,

I was guided to pull three cards today from different decks to bring in the messages for the week.

(Take what resonates and leave what doesn’t)

The cards that came were “Wonder” from Sacred Destiny by Denise Linn, “Success on the Horizon” from Soul Guidance by Amandah Tanner and “Dream a beautiful dream” from the Sacred Rebal Oracle Deck by Alana Fairchild.

The cards are very interconnected, a reminder of what this journey is all about. With the intense energy and solar flares we have been experiencing there is been a lot of vibrational changes and shifts, purging and clarity that is coming through, It has not felt pleasant but it is necessary, so many have felt their emotions shift from happy, to sad, angrey, frustrated to major clarity, if not yet its coming through out the week.

The message and reminder here is to get to a place of wonder and get curious with what’s coming up for you, instead of resisting the feelings. Challenge them, question them and see what the deeper guidance is around them. Connect with your higher self and ask for clarity around what you have been experiencing. You will be given the insight needed to move forward. We are asked to get back to a place of this child-like sense of wonder and play. Tapping into this energy will help shift and align in new ways. Children have such a creative imagination, innocence and purity that as adults we tend to lose along the way.

Spirit is reminding us that we all have that ability to tap into it as we are all pure souls, it’s just about reminding us to do it. Where are you feeling called to right now, what lights you up and gets you excited like that little child on Christmas morning?

It’s time to let go of what has weighed you down for so long, keeping you from being your most vibrant and authentic self. You’re being called to move past limiting beliefs, and see things from a new perspective, a more positive perspective, and it can, of course, be a challenge when the outside is screaming at us with so much heaviness, but listen to your heart, tune out what is not in your best interest, you will know this by how you feel.

You are on a divine path, keep going even when it feels like a challenge, you are being supported, recognize all the ways that your team is showing up for you, synchronicities, music, names of loved ones showing up, angel numbers, people showing up in new ways for you. This is all true validation for you. We are all connected, and it’s time to come together in a purposeful way to unite in love.

Self-care tips: reach out to a friend, or book a service to work through those emotions, journal, dance, do art, sing, play, find something that feels aligned with you and take time to do it. It’s ok for you to take care of yourself.

May you have a beautiful week ahead,

✨ Book your session and allow yourself to be supported

The energies right now are stirring deep transformation, and you may be feeling called to go inward, gain clarity, or release what no longer serves you. This is sacred work—and you don’t have to do it alone.

Through intuitive readings, energy healings, and soul-aligned coaching, I help guide you back to your center, awaken your inner knowing, and support you as you step into your next chapter. If your heart is whispering yes, this is your sign.

Book YOUR SESSION TODAY. Taking this step is a wonderful decision, and we are thrilled to support you on this journey. You’re not alone—let’s make progress together! https://calendar.app.google/hjjg6FDGso2eCbzHA

Many Blessings

🌿 Nurturing the Nurturers: A Self-Care Workshop for Healers & Helpers 🌿

🌿 Nurturing the Nurturers: A Self-Care Workshop for Healers & Helpers 🌿

In a world where so many of us are holding space for others — whether as nurses, social workers, Reiki practitioners, therapists, caregivers, or community helpers — it’s easy to forget one important truth: you deserve care, too.

That’s why I’m so excited to invite you to join me for “Nurturing the Nurturers” — a self-care art therapy and meditation workshop designed especially for those who give so much of themselves to others.

✨ This offering comes from a deeply personal place.

Recently, while receiving treatment in the hospital, I found myself reflecting on the incredible care I’ve experienced over the years, not just in that moment, but throughout my journey navigating the medical system. I’ve witnessed so much: the quiet strength of nurses, the endless patience of caregivers, the compassion of social workers, and the unwavering dedication of so many healers and support staff.

It wasn’t just the treatments or medications that carried me through challenging times; it was them — their presence, their kindness, their steady hands and open hearts. Their care left a profound imprint on me, deepening my respect and admiration for all they give, day after day.

Through these experiences, I’ve learned how vital it is for those who care for others to also be cared for themselves. And out of this knowing — and from my passion for self-care, love, art, and healing — I’ve created this workshop.

This isn’t just an offering; it’s an extension of my purpose. It’s a heartfelt space designed to give back, to honor, and to support the nurturers, the caregivers, the healers. A place where you can pause, reconnect, and receive.

While I do need to charge a modest fee to cover venue and material costs, this workshop is truly a labour of love — a way to pour back into those who pour so generously into others.


✨ What’s Included:

🧘‍♀️ A calming guided meditation to ground your energy
🎨 A healing art activity: Create your own Compassion Collage
📝 Reflective journaling to explore self-care themes
💬 Optional sharing in a safe, supportive circle
🌸 A break to enjoy light refreshments and set up your creative space
… and most of all, time to simply be.


📅 Date: July 12
🕒 Time: 7-9📍 Location: Thrive Wellness Studio, Langley, BC
💖 Self-Care Investment: $45 ( little surprise bonus included)


This workshop is open to anyone in a caring or helping profession — whether you’re a frontline healthcare worker, an energy healer, a therapist, or someone who shows up for others day after day.

I’ve witnessed the quiet strength and endless compassion you bring. Now, it’s time to fill your own cup.

💫 Spaces are limited to keep the gathering intimate and nurturing.

📧 To reserve your spot, email me at angelblessings.11.22@gmail.com or Keren at wizconsulting33@gmail.com
✨ Or DM @angelblessing_11 with any questions!


I hope you’ll join me in this circle of care. You give so much — now it’s your turn to receive. 💗

With love,
Nancy F & Keren Wiz

Trusting Your Spiritual Journey: Guidance & Healing

Good Morning, Beautiful Souls,

It certainly feels like it’s been a while since I felt inspired to do readings or pull any cards. I’ve chosen to let spirit guide me, sharing messages that need to come through when the time is right. Over the past few months, I’ve allowed myself to simply go with the flow—processing, evaluating, releasing, and trusting in divine timing. While I believed I was already doing this, I recognized that social media and its algorithm drama had drained my energy. I decided to embrace this setback and turn it into an opportunity. During this time, I participated in various workshops to develop and strengthen my gifts, upgraded my Reiki level, and focused on some inner healing.

Today however I was guided very strongly to pull some cards around what we needed to know going into this week, ie energy and any guidance. The tarot deck i was guided to was The Psychic Tarot by John Holland, 

The numerology alone was amazing four cards came through. 8- accelerated motion, 8- trapped in fear, 8- positive movement forward and 1- love begins. I have attached the significance of the number 8 below the channeling i received.

The words i was receiving for these chakra points were healing, releasing, balancing, transformation and security. These are areas in which we may be feeling the energy more intensely at this time, the call to heal, clear out and take stock of situations from our past that still need to be cleared. Where are you feeling stuck, what is this trying to tell you, what do you need to say but are finding it hard to speak up about? 

Some affirmations and journal prompts of each of the chakras that i was guided to list here

🌿 Root Chakra (Muladhara)

Focus: Safety, security, stability, grounding

Journal Prompts:

  • What does feeling safe and secure mean to me?
  • Where in my life do I feel most grounded? Where do I feel ungrounded?

Affirmations:

  • I am grounded, safe, and secure.
  • I trust life to support me.

  • Who do I need to forgive — including myself — to open my heart more fully?
  • How can I offer myself more compassion today?
  • What does unconditional love feel like to me?

Affirmations:

  • I am worthy of love and give it freely.
  • My heart is open to give and receive compassion.
  • I forgive myself and others with ease.
  • Love flows through me effortlessly.

  • I am connected to infinite sources and truth.

Symbolic Meaning of the Number 8

The number 8 is a symbol of balance, power, and infinite potential. Often seen as a number of material and spiritual harmony, it bridges the realms of the physical and the spiritual.

  • 🔁 Infinity and Continuity: When turned on its side, the number 8 symbolizes infinity (∞). It represents the eternal flow, cycles, and unending potential.
  • ⚖️ Balance and Justice: With its symmetrical shape, 8 represents equilibrium. It also stands for fairness and the karmic principle of cause and effect. What you put out into the world returns to you.
  • 💰 Abundance and Manifestation: In numerology, 8 is often associated with wealth and success. It empowers the manifestation of dreams into reality through discipline and focus.
  • 🧘‍♀️ Inner Strength and Resilience: Spiritually, it’s a reminder to harness inner strength. You should maintain self-discipline. Align with your higher purpose while staying grounded.
  • 🔮 Empowerment and Leadership: 8 carries the energy of authorityconfidence, and the ability to influence others wisely and justly.
