Apologies, apologies, apologies. Yes, I know exactly how long it’s been since my last confession (er, blog post.) I had started prepping one about 2 weeks ago, but it never got off the ground. Must have been because it wasn’t necessarily something that needed to be said.
But, here I am, over a month since the last, and I do have a few things worth saying.
This past month has been… well, it’s kind of been hell to be honest. There have been maybe 2 good days the entire month of June.
I wish I were joking. I’m not. It has been rough, y’all.
However, even though June was not necessarily filled with smiles and joy, June was filled with something else in abundance. Something extraordinarily important, even if less desirable…
Lessons.
Now first off, if you think you can’t learn anything as an adult, you are sorely mistaken. Our lives are continuously unfolding. Our soul, our purpose, our direction… it is always growing, always changing… and often times, in order to do that, we have lessons to learn.
Lessons are not always pleasant. In fact, they usually suck. We humans have a difficult time paying attention to what’s important if it isn’t literally slapping us in the face, so sometimes the Universe slaps us in the face to make sure we’re listening.
Or to make sure we change direction to get off that unhealthy path.
Or to make sure we find our way to the right one. The one that leads to all those dreams we’re busting our ass to manifest.
I have learned a lot this month. I have been reminded of things I had forgotten. I have been wrenched from situations I had become complacent about that were no longer good for me. I have been awakened to my body, my mind, and my spirit. I have been assured that no one is immune from time unfolding, and that life can change in an instant. I have had my intuition validated. I have been shown the difference I make in this world and that I am valuable, worthy, and appreciated. I have seen the glory of achievement… and the depth of defeat.
I have been shown that sometimes people never change.
I have also been shown that sometimes they do.
In both cases, I have been led to practice the art of letting go.
And in others, the need to hold on.
I know it sounds like all kinds of hippy dippy soul journeying lovey spirity awesomeness.
It wasn’t.
It sucked.
BUT… it’s leading me to all kinds of hippy dippy soul journeying lovey spirity awesomeness.
I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. July is reassuring me that it holds much for me. I can see that the space I have opened by learning these lessons and releasing that which no longer serves me is preparing itself for something wonderful, light-full, and new. I can feel the winds of change breezing across my skin, and a new life starting to take shape.
A life that I’ve yearned for.
A life that I’ve prayed for.
A life that belongs to me.
A life that I have created.
And this life… is going to change everything.
So learn your lessons well, my friends.
I promise they hold the key to every happiness and dream and aspiration you have ever hoped to achieve.
The world is not against you.
The Universe is not against you.
God is not against you.
Spirit is on your side. Our lessons prepare us for the very thing we’ve asked for.
We simply need to learn to trust.
Trust in our greatest good.
Trust in becoming our most authentic self.
Trust in everything unfolding as it should.
And above all… trust in ourselves and everything we are capable of.
