Gemini

I take a moment to reestablish my root-system. Making sure that I am accessing nourishment from sources that know not of scarcity. Empty storehouses are no longer appealing to me. I’ve lost interest in what isn’t able to be replenished. I am invested in the kind of love that is renewable. Sustainable. Unrelenting in its ability to hold the whole and not just the pretty parts of me.

I renew my commitment to my life by making sure that I am coming from a place of appreciation. I know that each time I lose my ability to be grateful for something, anything, in my life, I am no longer in touch with myself. I know that even in the bleakest moments, there is a way to honor my pain while bringing beauty to my attention. It is my responsibility to get myself to the places where possibility lives, without diminishing my any other part of my experience.

I am learning how to hold both the pain and the knowledge that it will pass. The weight and the knowing that it will lift. The pressure and the understanding of its inevitable release.

I am learning that the more I am able to work through the challenges my life sets out for me, the more I am able to refine my talents. I am learning that my life isn’t trying to punish me. It is trying to release me from ill-fitting situations. I am learning that the more I show up for what is happening, the more aware I am of my power to positively impact it.

Leo Rising

I am dedicated to finding all the ways in which I can clarify, and encourage my life purpose to unfold. I am devoted to discovering what it feels like to be more at home in my life. I am working on appreciating my past for all it has taught me about love.

Through the lack of it, through the promise of it, and through all the things that have stood in its way, love is, and always has been, my birthright.

Love’s light may have evaded some aspects of my past. It may have been chased away by systems that distorted my humanity. It may have been shunned by traditions, social norms or sentiments that I grew up in, but it’s my job to find a way out of anything that refuses love. Love may have had to go underground at certain points in my life, but love has always been the bedrock of my existence. I’m here to live out as many expressions of it as possible. I am here to heal all that stands in the way of its ability to take root in my life. I am tapping  into the greatest power available to me when I remember to bring love into the room, no matter whose house I enter.

I bring this sentiment into my work, so that every effort I make reminds those that receive it about the possibility for more love in their own life.  Every single thing I do to support myself is an act of care for myself, my family, and my community. This world might have been set up to see me fail, but at each turn I am ready and willing to see myself prevail.
