It can’t be about the fear, it must be about the courage.
It can’t be about the anger, it must be about personal empowerment.
It can’t be about resentment, it has to be about the lesson.
It can’t be about frustration, it must be about the power of patience.
It can’t be about bitterness, it must be about understanding.
We can’t push, coerce, or control. We can only allow, encourage, and co-create.
We can’t deny, deceive, or destroy. We can only accept, be clear, and act wisely.
We can’t annihilate, manipulate, instigate, or mandate. We can only build, suggest, reflect, and speak our truth.
There is nothing we are here to teach. We are only here to learn and exemplify.
There is nothing that we are to prove. We are to simply be true to our truth.
There is no vengeance, no retribution, no showing them the error of their ways. There is only the power and strength of our self-love and the joy we embody and the purpose of our being which will see us through.

The story has now emerged into reality and there is no going back. There is only the choice in each next step. Those are your feet. These are my feet. I am responsible for each next step. You are responsible for yours.
There is no doubt of the feeling of nebulosity coupled with the desire for forward momentum. It’s an interesting mix of woundedness and joy, disenfranchisement and personal empowerment. Everything is swirling into everything else everywhere throughout time, all right now and we are in the middle of it.
So what are we gonna do about it?
The exact same thing I’m doing everything in my power to tell myself…
We are responsible for our next step. We are the music makers. We are the dreamers of the Dream. Our focus must be direct and powerful and clear, knowing that whatever path we are on, whatever steps we take, we are to bring into manifestation the truth of our being. Period.
Navigating through these waters, it is imperative that we keep our sea-legs about us. Surfing on the waves of rapid change requires an internal sense of safety and stability. The external world will not necessarily provide that for us until we master the waves within.
Standing at the threshold, as gatekeeper to our happiness and joyful empowerment is the ancient wound of disempowerment. There too, is the ancient wound of feeling like we are divinity, trapped in carnality. We must pass through these Rubicon by passionately loving our deeper shadows and bringing them to light through the necessary methodologies, supporting the process of healing.
Reintegrating our carnality with our divinity re-empowers us. It reminds us of our purpose, direction, and power. We act on our purpose. We envision, speak up courageously, and do the necessary work towards healing our strength, courage, and self-love. We become the master creators of our own lives. We find alignment, empowerment, and make the right choices. Choose to act in this manner as your highest intention with this New Moon, and all will be well.
