If you haven’t had a lot of joy in your existence, we understand that experiencing joy might be too far of a vibrational leap for you. So why not simply be open to feeling pleasant presence? It is much easier, and far less pressure, to accept that you can create a pleasant now moment. By starting there, you just might be surprised at how quickly that moment can expand into deep, heartfelt, gratitude and joy. ~Archangel Gabriel through Shelley Young
