December 2023 has been an interesting month, one with much gratitude and love, also filled with experience, something that with 2024 I know will be much more prevalent in our life.
I am excited to experience the great reset of the new year.
Sunday December 31, 2023 – 123123
The great reset, as the dates shift – I am grateful for this month especially, that I have honored me more and acknowledged my own pros and cons to make even the slightest shift, which can actually feel huge!
As I leaned into the month, of transformation, I truthfully often forgot as I carried on about my day, however made the conscious decision to simply BE conscious within my day – of how I was sitting, if I was drinking water, when did I go pee last, things that may seem small but really are things that when I can get “busy” in my day, get forgotten about or pushed off, yup even peeing. Something I actually want to bring to the forefront because I have also noticed if we are going anywhere in the vehicle, I was bad for not drinking enough water because I didn’t want to be an inconvenience and have to stop for me to pee. I know there is also an energy block related to this, that is within my consciousness now to be aware.
Honoring that I am a very visual person, this is not a bad thing at all, its actually quite beneficial, as I am able to visualize exactly what I can see working for whatever, its pretty cool, especially when not long later I manifest it into my life! I am the type of person who values quality over quantity, I would rather have something that would be considered multi-use vs an multiple items, if you know what I mean. This month, was really cool. Trusting in the process, at times at some deep levels of trust, to focus on fun and experience in a much bigger way. A cool example of visualizing and trusting, releasing it out, to no longer ‘worry’ about, was when my purse came into my life. For a very long time, I wanted something VERY specific. I knew in my mind what it was, I wanted a larger – but nice purse – one that could be an everyday purse but also a “bag” to carry my oils/rollers, a book, my journal, pens etc (how do you know you’ve been doing a lot of surgeon follow up appointments in the past 3.5 years…) but also one that goes within that so that if I didn’t need if for example going out. I searched online, looked in various places, was unsure of ordering online due to the quality – the reason I was replacing my purse was due to size but more so it was literally falling apart, the “leather” was flaking off everywhere. So it was time. This purse that I am now using, is EXACTLY what I was envisioning in my mind, but better!!! The quality is incredible, its big enough to very comfortably carry my oils, fits my wallet, keys, etc etc very well and easily accessible to me, has room to carry a book or two with even space to spare! Its moments like this, that remind me, the simple life is so friggin amazing to me! Especially when, I TRUST in me and the universe. Release the desire, trust in the process, what is meant for you, will meet you!
As I look back on my life, I can very clearly see where this has been modeled to me before, our first home, it was a bit of a bumpy start, when we offered on a place and lost it, thought it was the one, turns out the one that became our first home, was perfect for us, in so many ways. Our current home, new to us as we have renovated every square inch! It was a journey to find this place, and yet its just perfect for us. The wait was worth it. The journey, the trusting, stepping slightly out of our comfort zone, to find the true peace.
I can see how every step of my life, yup even those ones that at the time I wished were not happening, have led me to this exact space that I am in. The woman who I am so fucking proud to be! The knowing, the guidance within, the physical and emotional growth, the HEALING. Wishing the past to change, would be wishing to change me, regardless of what has happened, any bitterness or resentment, was slowly killing me.
One of the biggest things I have learned, especially the past 4 years (we are ending a 4 yr cycle… 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023) is that when life is in alignment it FLOWS with grace and ease. When its not in alignment… just try putting that square peg in a round hole – it doesn’t work and as much as you try to force it to work, it doesn’t. Even in the simplest of terms – sleep. The past 4 years was like a rollarcoaster, that joined a gym and went every morning at 5am to then head to the water park and go on every single water slide and ride and then jump on a yo-yo and go up and down and round and round to then fall and need to figure out what the hell is going on.
2023 was truly my year of surrender. To allow myself vulnerability to just be me. Some days that was crying, and many times the hard core ugly cry. My husband jokes at the amount of pens that I go through as my soul speaks through journaling, allowing to clear, the visions to dream, the healing to take place with support. To FULLY step into trust, 100%. No more sitting on the side lines. Either 100% in it or not. Energy doesn’t lie, when my energy is wavering, especially as the mom in our home, it shifts – Mom’s try this out, watch how your household shifts and reacts to YOUR energy. Trust that all is Ok. All is well.
No, its not easy to trust after you’ve been betrayed, in whatever way, trust is trust. Rebuilding it takes time. Being vulnerable and surrendering, is extremely powerful. Its also challenging with trauma. Trust becomes that 4 letter word that isn’t fun to say. Recognizing the trauma, and reaction, things surfacing to be properly processed and dealt with. Honoring how I feel. Feel, to Heal. Rather than setting aside any feelings that were coming up, because maybe it still hurt just like the day it happened, allowing myself space and time to fully process it, to then clear and transmute that energy of the pain of that memory from ever hurting me again. After the journey with my husband after his accident and then our son heading down the multiple surgery road, I was having an extremely challenging time with trusting the process, trusting that all WOULD be ok, trusting that the last 4 years was not the most unbelievable joke on so many levels.
GROWTH – in every single way possible
I am beginning to learn more about crystals and the transformational and pivotal shifts they can bring to my life. I received some crystal jewelry for Christmas. A couple days later, our local crystal shop hosted a boxing day sale, I wasn’t able to make it into the store, however she shared photos on her Instagram stories that I made sure to take a peak at! A few things caught my eye… Rose Quartz tower, just incredibly beautiful, I had the clear vision of where it would go. Blue lace agate, also had a vision of where it would go. Then I saw the solar plexus singing bowl, for 50% off! Something pulled me in and without even looking anything up, I messaged and bought the singing bowl! When I later looked up the singing bowl for the Solar Plexus chakra, the stones that go well is Tigers Eye and Citrine (as well as one other one) – both stones that I received at Christmas.
ALIGNMENT – is so beautiful!
We have brought in another form of holistic health modality into our family and life, its been profound, true alignment in the body IS with our emotional and physical health.
Within the video is my oils for January, I will recap them in my January video!
