Grace, Growth and Gratitude: lessons on the journey

It’s a cooler day on the island and I’ve found myself in a varied place as we step through November.

Busy with responsibilities, in a way that feels productive and kind. Thoughtful with reflection, as I begin to do what I always do around this time each year –

Slowly take stock of what the past eleven months have brought and contemplate the changes rendered as we begin the initial stages of descent drawing us closer to the conclusion of another calendar year.

Truth be told, I haven’t always liked the lessons the past couple of years have brought, but I am trying to embrace and integrate them, so I can move forward with the wisdom learned…

October Akashic Magic: Shifts in Perception & Direction

The Records opened for October with some very interesting imagery, the first thing that I saw was a waterwheel cranking in one direction, and it was forced to come to almost a complete stop and reverse directions and start going the other way.

And I saw other images that were very similar to that, of some sort of a wheel or something that had been set into forward motion, stopping suddenly, and going in reverse along with a car on a road all the sudden realizing “oh, I need to go back and pull a U-turn”.

And energy coming through that felt like moving one way and then moving another entirely. And it felt like a shift in perception might be coming to us…

May Akashic Magic: Metamorphosis

As the Records were opening, the first thing I saw was a picture of a beautiful glittering diamond.

And I saw this process that a diamond goes through to form under tremendous amounts of pressure.

And there was very much the energy that that's a metaphor for the month of May: that diamonds are gems that are often formed under a sense of pressure, they’re formed sometimes in the darkness, they're formed under natural conditions that apply pressure, and invite us to transmutation. And on the heels of those images, I also saw a butterfly…

Finding Perspective in Challenge & Change

I once wrote the words March comes with a side dish of chaos. For whatever reason, I’ve found this to be true across the years.

Maybe it’s because March is named after the God of War, Mars, and Mars energy is typically fiery, willful, and can be conflict-oriented.

Maybe it’s because March hosts the vernal equinox and there’s a hectic rush of energy as the earth makes her final preparations to awaken and birth us into spring’s cycles…

The Red Paint of Reinvention: permission to redefine ourselves

Seems like I blinked and summer was almost gone.

June and July melted into a buttered blur or moving into our new home, decorating aforementioned new home, and allowing space for renewal, retreat, and respite after a difficult spring leading up to the move.

During this time I’ve painted the hallway green, hung pictures with precision and artful care, and sat in our yard, watching the sky turn from blue to orange each night at sunset…

Purpose it To Love: Finding the Light in Challenge

Life went and did it to me again this past season – broke my heart that is. Not in the capital H Heartbreak kind of way, but more of the lowercase variety, which has reminded me that smaller heartbreaks can also be painful.

I’ve struggled to find the light quite a few times this last season.

It’s not the first time I’ve struggled, and I know it won’t be the last, but I do know from previous incarnations of struggling that if we can just stick with ourselves and stay with our process, a time will come where the light begins to break through…

Leaning into The Unknown

I declared yesterday a soul-care day.

It’s been a while since I’ve done an extreme day of self-love, and the other day, as I was writing a list of “soul-care activities” for a course, it occurred to me that I should take my own advice and put it into practice.
