I have wanted to come on here with a new post for little while now, but honestly I wasn’t sure exactly what to say. The truth is- things are going in a surprising way for us as a collective these days.
This Full Moon is beautiful for me. It’s in my Rising Sign of Libra and I can truly feel the balance it is bringing to myself and my life. External circumstances may be out of my control (as of course they always are) but what I can control is making the best of where I am at, right here, right now.
Personally, I feel on the end of a four year cycle. I can date back to this time in 2016, and see how I started the beginning of a new chapter. My single life, following leaving a few year marriage, starting my life over again in the Philly area. First three years in Southern New Jersey and then a move an hour away to the Pennsylvania side of Philly this past Summer.
The changes I have made and the growth I have experienced in these past four years is almost impossible to express in words. I have a few highlights I can mention. Gaining back my health is number one- eating regularly, drinking water throughout the day, switching to decaf coffee a year ago, getting on a regular sleep schedule, limiting exercise to long trail walks, getting monthly massages, eliminating stress and overworking- all of that has made the biggest difference in my quality of life. I came into this chapter with neck pain so bad and so constant I woke up every morning to a dull headache that lasted well into the later part of each day. I have worked hard to heal and to incorporate self love and self care practices including hot baths, downtime to rest and read, and listening to music while relaxing with my dogs. Life is good, life is calm, and I know I have done great things for myself overall.
Another big thing I have done in the past four years is truly grow this beautiful business. I have done many events, worked with so many clients through personal readings and phone coaching sessions, taught online classes, held Live readings and chats, and walked people through New and Full Moon rituals. I have developed Healing Videos (five made, more to come!) that can be purchased at any time on my site, the first of a big goal to scale this growth with passive income opportunities. I dream of having a space for events in of my favorite groovy mountain town of Woodstock, New York. I love taking trips there for inspiration and soul healing. I want to give large speeches, write books and create Oracle cards. I have so many ideas and I know it is going to be a wild ride!
Aside from my business my “day job” as a professor has grown as well. I have passed through seasons of wanting to work fully online, wanting to stop altogether, and have made peace with where I am currently at. I appreciate this means of supporting me, I like connecting with students, and I appreciate less of commuting time. I look forward to seeing where things go, I’d like to simplify my teaching load even further and have even less driving time, so I am open to what I can manifest concerning that in the near future. I wrote my first book and saw it published, and am using it in my courses. That was a nice accomplishment and one that filled me with pride at how far I have come since beginning teaching in grad school back in 2008.
I have built a cozy home for myself. I went from hardly any possessions left after moving around so much to truly feeling rooted and grounded. I have a home filled with books and records and crystals and so so many meaningful items. I have thrifted a personal wardrobe and have selected accessories that speak to me. I love the life I am creating, I love the thrifting and nesting I get to do.
I have enjoyed growing my friendships, and value the beautiful souls who truly see me and love me for who I am. Speaking of love, that is my next manifestation. I am ready to build the next phase of my life with a life partner, my true love. I am ready to commit and dream of longterm plans. I want to have a family of my own and look forward to this all unfolding in this next new chapter I am entering.
There is so much to look forward to, despite whatever challenges may currently be present. I am looking at this forced downtime as time to rest up, before it will be go time on this new season. I know I need the refocusing of my mind and clarity this space will bring. It is a pleasure to spend time with my parents and help them in this process. I am showing up for my clients and the collective as much as I can each week, and truly enjoy serving in this role.
I can’t help but be excited for what lies ahead, and grateful for all that has come. I bid goodby to the season of the past four years of growth, and open the door to a brand new life chapter. Thank you for being along for the ride through it all.
