Sudden realization— Chapter 25 is coming to a close! This year, more than ever before, I’ve realized my true entrepreneurial spirit; and I’m diving deeper into that. Exploring what brings me the most joy. Doing more of what brings me peace. Following my heart— finding that purpose, listening to those spiritual guides. Discovering new parts of myself, which I’m learning doesn’t have to be just frightening; it can be exciting too. There are sides to growth that are scary, and then there aren’t… Often times I wonder if life is a series of overcoming. Your 20s— a sequence of feeling like you’ve cracked this code: you know yourself, you’ve figured things out, you know how things go; and then things change and suddenly you aren’t so sure. Truthfully, I don’t think that feeling ever ends. Things always change, and you change too. Experiencing early adulthood (growing up, in a sense) throughout a pandemic [apocalypse?], embracing change has been a means of survival. 

Losing your sense of time isn’t necessarily a bad thing… I’ve been thinking that for people like me, often anxious about the future, there is a limitless feeling to the present— where the time is always now. Not obsessing over what’s to come, but focusing on what is here. Not stressing over what’s been lost… only gratitude for what I currently possess. Since my last post [two months ago] it seems like I’ve been doing it all— thinking, living, [having fun!] surviving, [changing!] feeling, obsessing, stressing, [winning!] losing… everything in between, and still being grateful. Being present, and being grateful for that— hasn’t been the easiest mindset to adapt to, but a blessing nonetheless.

Striving to get even farther out of my own way in this new season, I’ve been succeeding. It’s true about epiphanies, how you wake up one day and realize that things have to be different. When you surrender to the ebbs and flows of life, instead of being consumed by the thoughts of everything you can’t control… I don’t want to be consumed by the things I can’t control anymore. I’ve also realized that when I focus on what I can control, the things I desire gravitate towards me much quicker. A lot of people don’t believe in the powers of manifestation, or affirmations… divinity, levels of spirituality in oneself to still discover… This blog ain’t for those people.

Evolving, like a Pokémon— I’m realizing there is no end to evolution, which I believe is part of the process [of a spiritual journey]. Over the past two [plus] years especially, I’ve been forced to have faith in an abundance of things I could not [cannot] see… I’ve had to see it for myself. I’ve had to honor process and though it’s been tough, process hasn’t steered me wrong yet. No longer surprised by the new characters I attract, or the new plotlines… the character development— a huge part of living in the moment and being present is showing up, confident, ready to play.

I want to say, cheers to August— this new month, new vibe, and this new chapter coming fast and furiously… There’s work to be done, and for right now at least, I feel equipped and capable. As a Leo-Venus, this season is usually very hot for me— full of fun, beauty [glamour!], grand gestures and spontaneity. A lot of opportunities for growth and gain. So very fiery, I can attest to Leo season being a time where some of us truly shine brightest. Leaving on the note of what’s been keeping me sane, as America moves through another insane [flop] era, the daily reminder to send gratitude up; and blessings will rain down. Then, all that’ll be left to do is stand still—
