It's weird to say but I have not looked in the mirror at my body for almost a year until today. I have been filled with shame for quite a while and for various reasons and it made me not want to look at myself. I think I am overcoming that, finally.
I hope the message was healing for you and I'm glad you're standing in your courage. That's a difficult thing to say when it's something so deeply personal. But vulnerability is power. Sending my love. <3
I feel like I’ve been “in limbo” for a couple of years now. I don’t know the next steps are at this point but I know I need to use this time to “warrior up” - strengthen my mind, body and soul - for what’s coming.
There was a meme I saw yesterday that I reposted because it hit home... turns out there was a chorus of agreement on how hard it hit.
It said, "Did it hurt? When you realized we only have four months left until 2024 but you're still processing 2019 and that was almost five years ago."
We're all feeling this limbo. You're not alone. Please be kind to yourself and have compassion for that - we've been through so much collectively. It has had an impact. We can't deny that. But most are still so shell shocked that they haven't even figured out what hit them yet. Most are dissociated and trying to distract themselves from all the things that are too difficult to understand, the biggest one being how trust has been so thoroughly eroded. And add to that a layer of continued energetic isolation from not feeling seen or understood by one another.
And that's on top of all of the things that usually happen in our personal lives year over year and navigating the way we all fit together now based on bifurcation points, ideology shifts, and overall understanding of what is happening around us.
Most are just trying to figure it out, and the second most think they have it, the rug gets ripped back out from under them and they have to alter to suit some new perspective or piece of information and they have to reframe and start all over again. Lather, rinse, repeat.
Come back to center. Reel back in any projections of any futures that didn't come to pass the way you had thought they might or should... do that brick by brick until you are simply standing in the present with zero expectations. Get used to being in that space for a bit. Just being.
From here, you can rebuild, but you're on stronger footing - not only because you're not comparing now to some other timeline and feeling the emotional discrepancy between the two, but also because, from this vantage point, you can co-create your future with the universe and use that guidance system to find the best possible timeline for you. And maybe, in switching to that approach, it can be better than anything you had previously imagined.

Oh, and even in 2011, Sade remains one of the most beautiful women to walk the planet!
I needed this message today. Thank you.

I hope that helps. 🙏🏻💜💫
Some good music choices here! (Except Tracy Chapman, who evokes nothing but bad memories lol)
