Thoughtful Thursday Photo + Words | #11

I am proud of myself for keeping my weekly Thoughtful Thursday blog post continuing. Even when my mind has been very consumed and the down time Ive had has been relaxing.

Life has been life-ing and it can be interesting at times. Just went you think you are shifting The Universe has other plans which can feel heavy. My capacity over the past 6 years has been tested to such high levels. My deepest, greatest desire is for all to live a beautiful, simple, healthy and happy life – whatever that means to everyone.

The energy this week to begin with has felt very heavy, actually the past couple weeks. Leading up to the new moon yesterday, it still felt heavy today, however the collective energy feels like its finally loosening its grip after an intense shared energy. Even talking to others they could feel it in some way in their life.

I am proud of myself for being brave and trusting. Trusting in me, to be led in the correct direction with strength and passion. Courage to speak my truth and embrace those within my life. Rather than retreat, well that it necessary, what isn’t is feeling alone. Retreat to your loved ones, such a beautiful message. Trusting.

A flock of swans flying over my house earlier this week, the only reason I saw them is because our bin fell over in the strong winds and I am assuming was on the road as it was laying against our mailbox post. I stopped my vehicle and got out to move the bin back to the house and as I was walking up our driveway I heard a noise I hadn’t heard before at our place. When I looked up I was in complete awe, a flock of swans?
Yes, a flock of swans!
It was a passing opportunity, thankfully I had my purse on me, quick grab of my phone and captured a couple images!

I looked up the spiritual meaning of a flock of swans.

“A flock of swans carries powerful spiritual meanings of transformation, grace, fidelity, and the soul’s journey, often symbolizing a transition toward higher consciousness, purity, and profound inner beauty. Their presence suggests a need for calm intuition and deep love in relationships, guiding individuals to navigate life’s emotional currents gracefully”, notes Parlour of Wonders.

When the universe sends you the calm before what feels like the storm.

The new astrological new year begins tomorrow, with the spring equinox.

“The 2026 astrological new year (March 20) initiates a powerful “hard reset” and a new 9-year cycle (Universal Year 1), shifting focus from 2025’s reflection to proactive, fiery Aries energy. It emphasizes taking initiative, personal truth, and tangible action to build a new, authentic reality, moving from passive dreaming to active creation.” online source

Our snow is almost gone, again, spring will soon be upon us. I am looking forward to getting out with my camera. Although before that happens we have a couple hockey weekends left, that will fill my heart for years to come!
