The Winds of Change

06 Apr

Up, Up and Away!

We have a powerful solar eclipse coming April 8, 2024 and I’m wondering if leading up to this, the past few weeks, if there is anyone else who has also felt a shift?

I’m not exactly sure on the what or how but the only way I can identify what I’ve noticed within and around me is that there is significant emotional change brewing and on the horizon. 

The question remains though is this good or bad? 

My thought is all change, while maybe not always wanted, is usually necessary.  I feel the heavy hand of such swiftness is most often the kick in the direction you should have been going before you got off course.  I’ve had many moments like this and honestly I quite like such a sudden shake-up, it keeps me on my toes and at the ready to adjust and pivot. 

I’m not talking about the kind of change that results in a disconnection from someone you care deeply for and have a strong bond with; that is loss.

The change I speak of is that which motivates and challenges you to carve a new path or get back onto the path you were on before you took a very large wrong turn.  I think we all know when we are off course, there are many indicators, signs and brick walls to keep butting up against.  I know I’ve done it and I’ve tried to shush the soul voice within screaming at me while the Ego relishes and grapples to control.  It’s difficult to imagine a clear visual of what this looks like when both the soul and ego reside within the same body.  I feel the best description is still the two wolves theory and you can only feed one at a time.

I did find though that as I started listening and to the soul voice the more talkative and informative it became and as a result the more the Ego started to deflate.  It’s healthy to learn all you can about your own emotions and how they shape and influence your life because it’s the best way to teach yourself about managing and moderating them.  It’s even better to have that awareness when there are such big shifts going on in our skies.  You don’t need the grenades of mismanaged emotions doing maximum damage.

I do not have a lot of astrological type of knowledge but I can say that I definitely notice consistent patterns during certain times when planets and such are hi-lighted to be shifting around.  That being said I am curious with anticipation about what this solar eclipse will bring.

Happy Eclipsing!

The Voice of Reason

17 Jan

A Diamond in the Rough

As of late the current events have been focused on our children and I wish that they were all positive but mostly they have been sad and senseless.

There are so many terrible, difficult and challenging trends that affect our children, sometimes in a very tragic way.  The difficulties that are being experienced are also at times being sensationalized and as much we are all trying to acknowledge and remedy this globally the battle still continues.

It’s through our genuine presence in our children’s lives that we create a positive influence.  An influence that they will carry with them throughout their daily lives.

Believe me, I know how busy life can be.  The demands on our time can be overwhelming and sometimes we feel pulled in many directions, multi-tasking has become a normal part of our day.

Our focus on our children is the one thing that we can’t afford to compromise.  I can only speak as a Mom, I believe that our children are the most significant loves of our lives.

As much as we want to let them have some independence and allow them to experience life and grow, it’s so very important to build a solid, compassionate and genuine communicative foundation.

In creating this foundation we are providing our children with supportive values and morals that will become their own inner voice of reason.

It’s that inner voice of reason that helps to keep us all on the safest path as we navigate through different and challenging experiences.

As parents we should all be helping to provide the safest path for our children.  Sometimes they don’t want us to be so present but it is necessary and much later in life they will look back on it and be glad that we were there.

Be present.

Be supportive.

Love is Louder!

Time Out! Working Moms

02 Nov

Finding balance in today’s world is a challenge, to say the least, but extremely necessary to a healthy lifestyle.  Our health depends on our physical and mental well-being.  If we don’t feel good physically or mentally it dims our eternal light.  It’s important for everyone to take a “time out” every once in a while to enhance your life.  It’s during these “time outs” that we recharge ourselves and experience motivation, personal growth and inspiration.

I’ve even had a tough time of it myself this week.  It’s really important to include yourself in the list of people you have to take care of.  How we feel on the inside reflects on the outside and that directly affects the people in our lives.  As much as I want to inspire positive thinking, sometimes I too get affected by negativity when it comes into my realm and find myself unnecessarily snapping at others and that is one of my biggest indicators that I need a “time out”.

If you burn yourself out by not paying attention to your needs then you leave yourself wide open for negative energy to get in and wreak havoc.  When we are well rested, we are strong, resistant and powerful enough to ward off any negativity that could possibly come our way.  Negativity, like everything else, travels in a cycle and our own personal awareness is the beginning of its defeat!

It can be really difficult to find a little or a lot of time for yourself and whatever it is that provides you with what is needed to refuel and recharge your soul is what you need to do.

Because my life is so busy I prefer anything that is quiet and peaceful and hopefully without interruption.  Now this can be a tall order at times, but even a few moments can sometimes help.  It’s like that catnap when working a graveyard shift that gives you the extra boost needed to make it through.

If I could pick and choose, that’s easy – a Spa day! – of course that could get kind of pricey on a regular basis.

So on a smaller scale I could choose 5-10 minutes of listening to a CD of the ocean or a waterfall or anything with nature, for me that is what resonates balance and peace within.  It’s really important to listen to your inner voice. It won’t lead you astray, and if it’s telling you that you need to take a “time out”, then take one.

For myself I need more than 5-10 minutes here and there, but if that’s all you can accommodate to begin with at least it’s a start, an important start.
