“Keep focused on your dream”

This card has so many layers for me today, the first being that staying focused on your dream and keeping your eye on the prize will manifest in ways you haven’t even thought of. I know when I realize something has manifested right before me, it’s often not exactly what I had in mind, but better. Better in a way that I didn’t even know would be better for me, know what I mean? It’s always a surprise for me, though I know I shouldn’t be anymore – but who doesn’t get excited about MAGIC?

Another layer that I felt pulling on my heart to talk about is focusing on YOUR dream. We look up to others who have paved the way for something that looks a lot like our dream, so we follow them and mimic their steps. This is not a bad thing, at the beginning. You’re still getting your feet under you and learning the base groundwork. But what happens when you suddenly have a grip on it and are blazing forward? Does your dream still look like yours, or is it a version of somebody else’s?

Do what feels right in your gut and in your heart. If it feels awkward and you keep finding excuses to not do it, what are you really doing then? A very wise lady recently told me that we should be creating from a “comfort zone”. Yes, push yourself out of a comfort zone to learn new things and grow, but when you’re creating – that’s a deep dive internally that you can only do alone. There’s a reason you were drawn to this path, but there’s also a calling to make it your very own.

As for me? I’m on this creative journey with you. I’ve learned this lesson the hard way, but I keep learning and navigating every single day.

These cards led me on quite a journey to get to this message – wow. 

Spirit:

“Spirit is moving in you. You are wisdom and understanding” – What does this mean to you? It can mean so so many things. And for today’s message, there’s a common theme running around in my head with the throat chakra. I chose a blue candle to light before I started, not knowing why just yet. And then was reminded of today’s early morning conversation with a sweet soul sister, focusing on being confident and humble at the same time, void of arrogance. The first thing that popped in my head was “speak your truth with love”. Ahhh, here we go. And here is where Spirit moved within me after drawing this card. For an extra touch, I was drawn to notice the calm, light blue on the card itself. THEN, I immediately saw on my screen a quote from Oprah (lifetime fan over here!) that goes like this…

“Every time you state what you want or believe, you’re the first to hear it. It’s a message to both you and others about what you think is possible. Don’t put a ceiling on yourself.” –Oprah Winfrey

Ok, I hear you! 🙂

The Ancient Ones:

And here’s where the hard lesson and message comes in. Our anscestors, full of wisdom and understanding, are reminding us of who we are. We don’t have to be bound and chained to the generational and family curses passed down, it’s really time to break those once and for all. And probably the biggest part of that is speaking your truth with love. In my lifetime, I feel like I have definitely challenged patriarchs, pushed “taboo” boundaries, and have tried to break out of the mold that was already set for me long before I was born. That was all wonderful and I regret nothing. But, the difference now, is that it comes from a place of LOVE and not just rebellion and anarchy. Done out of love invites in healing and forgiveness, being able to break free and move on without guilt and without looking back. You have your family, your anscestors from all of your lives, standing right next to you, behind you, and above; but not in front, because that’s your journey alone to create.

Today is the day the moon emerges as the Full Snow Moon in Leo. Rawr.

What do full moons mean to you? They’re a time for releasing whatever is no longer needed, talk to the Universe about your goals and wishes, create a ritual perhaps? For me, I’ve always thought the full moon brings out the “worst” in me. First, I noticed te pattern behavior that rises up during full moon energy and thought that was very interesting. Some moons down the road, and I was able to pin it as soon as the feelings crept up. Now? I am some kind of moody this morning (or was before I sat down to connect for this), and I’ve also noticed it’s about things that I want/need to stand up for. What bothers me during those times is injustice, the feeling of not having my heart heard, or I really feel like it’s the time to clean out the closet. I know, it sounds like a nightmare. But, it’s truly a gift! And I see that now. It took some baby moon steps, but I now know that the energy the full moon releases in me is GOOD, and necessary. As a human, I just have to learn how to channel it correctly. Moving forward, these can be very powerful time periods for me to manifest or whatever I want to do.

The point of all of this is MAGIC. Often people think of magic as like some fairytale action that we couldn’t possibly recreate on Earth. But that whole full moon process for me is magic. Synchronicities and meaningful “coincidences” are all magic, it’s the Universe doing it’s thing, and us being aware enough to see it. The magic lives inside of all of us, in the trees, animals, bugs, even the planets, the Sun, and the Moon. Stay aware. This magic gives birth to your dreams.

Today’s message has everything to do with love, keeping your heart open, and YOU. Specifically, you loving you. And you loving others because you recognize the light. And ultimately, letting Source flow through you to help the next one (whether human, animal, or tree).

To start off, let’s talk about loving yourself. This means loving every single part of your human form and presence. As humans, we’ve placed labels on actions, thoughts, and feelings as either “bad” or “good”. Spoiler alert: the Universe doesn’t care about those labels. We’re here to learn and grow, and that comes with good and bad. What we perceive is “bad” can simply be a learning experience, or a means to an end. These “bad” experiences are necessary, and they help us stay strong and moving forward. What I’m dancing around here is that you’ve got to accept the bad with the good. Make friends with your flaws. Part of doing that is acknowledging them and sharing them with others. I’ll go first! I tend to get caught up in drama and gossip, sometimes I just listen, but other times I throw in a comment or two (or five). Where I used to maybe dwell on the subject a bit too long, I now step back and recognize my humanness. There’s a little trick here to this part, though, that takes a bit longer to nail down; don’t beat yourself up. Don’t even do it. All you have to do is recognize the thought process, behavior, or words, and acknowledge the human in it – KNOWING you are so much more as a spiritual being on Earth. 

Now, on to the next part. After you’ve done all of that wonderful work, and you’re well on your way to accepting yourself and loving all if your fabulousness – just sit. Sit in silence, focusing on your heart chakra and listen. You may find that those messages, “knowings”, even visions come much clearer. Because why? Because accepting and loving yourself fully is in turn doing the same for the Universe/Source/God/et al. Your heart will start to open up in so many ways, it will make your head spin – in a good way. 😉 

Love each other and support each other. That, my friends, is what we are here for.

I have a very long history of making myself small, adapting and transforming my outward appearance. My speech, clothing, mannerisms, et al., were awkward for me and seemed to make me feel even more alien to other people than I already did. I’ll state the obvious here and say I had been trying to make myself into what I thought other people wanted from me.

Yes, I am a recovering people-pleaser, and yes, I went that far. Mostly subconsciously, but the fact remains that I didn’t want to show them Aimee. At the same time, I’ve always felt that I had something other-worldly that I needed to share with the world. Does this sound familiar? I see this Peacock card not only as encouragement to step out boldly and create from your heart, but to also feel the freedom of not altering that in any way. As with all lessons, there is no instant “fix”. As long as we are in these human bodies, we will always work for it. What I can promise you is that peace sitting right in your belly, taking the place of those anxious flares that shoot up through your heart and throat; all-consuming. It doesn’t have to be that way. In the same way you’re being encouraged to be bold, stand up and be fierce about your fears. Face them head on – awareness is key!

The Meerkat simply reminds us that we are not alone. Search your soul to pinpoint those people that you can trust, you’ll know – listen to your gut. And while you’re there, check in with your guides just to remind yourself that you are never truly alone on this journey.
For me personally, I’m starting a brand-new project, something I’ve never tackled before. You know what I did the first week after deciding I was going to do it? Write down ideas as they came to me and then proceed to fret to death over them. My sweet soul sister texted me today and let me know I could bounce ideas off her. DUH, AIMEE. I could have saved myself some days of spinning. I knew she would be happy to help me with anything, but why didn’t I reach out? Because of the behavior I described above. See how these animal energies are working together for you? All you have to do is ask.

#48 – Lean in Anyway
#28 – Allow Yourself to Shine

This is one of the hardest lessons I’ve had to learn, and believe me, it’s one that keeps on giving. I have been hugely reminded of this recently – YOU are the only human holding yourself back. I know you’ve heard that before along with the words “self-sabotage” and can also lead to playing the “blame game”. Why haven’t you started that book? Are you really just “still in the planning phases”, or did you pitch a tent and build a fire there?
Listen, it’s perfectly ok to be afraid. We came into this world agreeing to embrace and learn from the human experience, didn’t we?
This is where you grow. You’re questioning your fear. You’re questioning your self-confidence, maybe it’s not where you thought it was or where it should be? Sit for a moment in your awareness, take control and ask the fear where it came from. Then gently introduce it to your heart chakra. The fear came in when we were born to protect us in our human bodies. But that is not where we create from, is it? Where that deep passion comes from, fear cannot live.
Lean in to the whispers, answer the calls that come from within.

Good morning, beauties!

I drew this card for the collective this morning:

Queen of Swords – This Queen is honest, protective, intelligent, and also very quirky and funny. She can represent struggles in your past that have ultimately given you strength, compassion, and wisdom which can give you a love to protect and empathise with others who aren’t able to protect themselves.
This can also symbolise the struggle between the head and the heart. so funny this came out this morning, a few of the readings I’ve done this week alone touched on getting out of your head and paying attention to your heart, gut, and intuition. Don’t wear yourself out with the mind wrestling – ease into the knowing that you already have in your sprit. ALSO! Interestingly enough, today is Thursday, which is ruled by the Heart Chakra. Wear your green to elevate your heart, and send all of those pesky, swirling thoughts in your head straight there to transform.

Blessed Thursday!

Love & Light to you all! ✨AP
