As we approach the end of the year, it’s natural to feel a mix of emotions. For some, it’s been a year of growth, blessings, and success; for others, it’s been a rollercoaster ride of challenges, loss, and unexpected twists. No matter where you stand, one thing remains true: Life moves fast, and before we know it, the year draws to a close.
If you’re like me, you may want to pause for a moment, reflect on the past year, and clear the energy to make space for the next. I invite you to join me in a powerful spiritual practice that will help you wrap up
In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, our minds often resemble a restless monkey, swinging from one thought branch to another with seemingly no end in sight. This phenomenon, often referred to as the “monkey mind,” can wreak havoc on our mental well-being if left unchecked. However, what if I told you that you possess the power to tame this wild beast and reclaim control over your thoughts? It all begins with awareness.
Frequently, within the comfort of our familiar environment, achieving clarity can be a challenge. However, when the usual routines and constants in our lives are temporarily set aside, it becomes possible to view life from a broader perspective and engage more deeply in our personal healing journey. Furthermore, being away from our homes grants us respite from the constant worries of daily responsibilities, affording us a broader capacity to concentrate on self-care. This past week, I joined a dear client and colleague in Mount Shasta for an incredible transformational journey within.
When your plans go sideways, getting upset or frustrated is easy. With almost every planet in retro right now (an astrology thing) not much is moving forward until mid-September. The energy is shifting very quickly. In the past, I referred to our daily energy shifts as the ‘energy cocktail of the day.’ Now, the planetary energy is shifting, not every hour, but by the MINUTE! In all its beauty and complexity, life often presents us with unexpected twists and turns. Navigating these twists can be both exhilarating and daunting.
I was recently asked that question while flying to my niece’s wedding. The gentleman sitting next to me on the plane travels often and said he asks everyone he sits next to that question.
Before I answered him, I thought, “I wonder why he thinks I’m successful?” 🤔
And then, I answered the first word that popped into my head, perseverance—the ability to keep going when you get knocked down. I often feel like I’m failing, and I continue to keep going anyway. Most days, I feel like one of the wobbling weebles that gets blown over and pops back up!
Interestingly enough, he was surprised at my answer…
I’ve mentioned before for a while now I’ve been praying that I follow the highest divine design of my life. You may have been with me online or in our monthly group, Elevate, when we’ve done this together. There is no question that things shift when we sincerely ask for this. People and circumstances most often leave your life, sometimes even abruptly. Things may not always look or feel great when you are going through this shift of letting go. Although you’re surprised when it does happen, in the long run, you look back and can generally see the WHY. I continually remind myself, though, that nothing is ever wasted!
