Month Of January: Blessing In A Battle

A bird's eye view example of plant the life you want because under the dirt is a blessing in a battle! Greetings and many salutations to everyone! We are finally here in 2021 and of course the Rona is still here and yet many things with us and collectively has changed! I pray that everyone and their families are safe and doing well. My apologies for not posting as much but so much has been going on and things with my business have picked up. I know many of us have worked through different things to maintain our sanity, focus on the good and at the same time going after what we rightly deserve amidst what is going on in the world. Just know you are not alone in what you're experiencing and I encourage everyone to lean on those individuals that you know and are not afraid to keep it 100% with you. Having that area to speak your mind without fear of judgment is critical during these times. We all deserve a safe place to express ourselves freely and openly because when you are able to be completely vulnerable you will begin to see yourself in a new light and digest what you're feeling. As always my lovely disclaimer: I am not an expert on you! I am here to provide insight and assist those that are seeking comfort on a mental level. When it comes to making decisions that 's totally up to you! At the end of the day you get to decide what you want to be, where you want to go and the best path for your life.

So let's take a look at something: since last year we have dealt with having to self-quarantine, job situations may have changed, relationship status might of shifted, lost of loved ones, the roles people have played in your life both in a helping or hindering way and many truths have come to surface that you are still trying to process. The pandemic has certainly affected how we live our lives, how we interact with people and essentially change our outlook on how we view ourselves. For me it’s how things will truly be when outside officially “ opens back up”. Some people have been thinking about that a month into this pandemic and wanting to get back to whatever is considered “normal”. Think about how you are going to remember 2020 not just what happened politically and socially but what changes happened to you spiritually and emotionally? What was hidden and what was revealed? Did you get closer to yourself or further away? What was your blessing/blessings in this battle externally and internally? or both? What did this ongoing battle within you make you face and realize? One thing that I appreciate and know for myself is that even in the midst of a battle inward and outward God will have blessings waiting for you once you have healed and passed the lesson. Yet putting in the work and taking action towards doing the self healing and shadow work ( research shadow work and it what it means it will surprise you!) It is never an easy battle when you are uncovering layers of yourself that you didn’t know or you have intentionally ignored because maybe you felt you were not ready to deal with it. Honestly ask yourself this “ when are you ready?” People have tried to answer this question but the truth of the matter is no one is truly and ever ready for half of the things that have happened or will happen in the future. One thing that has helped me to be successful is that I maintain my sense of optimism even in a negative situation. Like you seriously I have to work on your mind to find the good and it is not easy but keep striving. There is something to be learned and you become better because of it and as long as you keep that in the forefront of your mind then you will notice a huge difference in what you do and what you think. Once you have awareness of self then you will view life and the people around you differently and absolutely nothing will be the same so welcome the healthy change in your life.

Another area I want to bring to light while most including myself are opening up more to receive the/a blessing in the battle is the energetic shift within January alone. We experienced the 1st New Moon of 2021 and it was in the sign of Capricorn on January 12th:

“This moon is all about support and building a new container where your support is coming from within and not from the outside. This may be a big change and different from your expectations in the past. If you continue to expect support from old structures you may be disappointed. Self-doubt can also surface as something to work through as you question yourself or feel unsupported. As this is a new time, it requires a shift in your trust and your sense of inner self esteem. Focus on your inner strength, your intuition, your abilities, your talents, your new ideas and inspiration. This is a perfect time to plant a seed for something new and then to trust that it will take root.”

After this we were introduced to the first Mercury Retrograde of 2021 and the pre-mercury retrograde started on January 15th to the 26th. It grew with intensity from the 27th to 29th until we reached January 30th the day it starts. Its energy is still being felt strongly from the 31st to Feb 3rd and in 2 weeks and 3 days it will officially go direct on Feb 20th. We are then entering its post shadow phase from Feb 21st to March 13th. During mercury retrograde there was also the first Full Moon in the sign of Aquarius on January 28th:

“This is a time to trust yourself, to be confident in your life path and where it has led you so far. The Full Moon gives purpose to the unknown by illuminating the unseen and lighting up the night sky. Expect moments of immense clarity, good energy, and an urge to move your body during this moon and coming days (Moon Omens).”

So in this inner battle with self there is a blessing or blessings waiting for you. And if you go back and read your journal ( if you do journal I highly recommend it!) you will begin to see the transition from your old self and cycles to your new self and cycles emerging. Look at the month of January has a higher level of self mastery whether or not you wanted to or God made it so uncomfortable you were not given a choice. Take it as God/Universe/Source had to intervene on this period in your life to give you the much needed push you prayed for because it was either your pride/ego and fear that was holding you back. Understand that your sense of timing and God’s divine timing is totally different. The future isn't down the road but found in the next millisecond, second, minute, hour etc and once you embrace this you will not waste anymore time on the things that do not fulfill you or make you happy. You will want to move into action towards more inner peace, balance and harmony. In this month, we had to really open the closet and talk to any of the skeletons still chilling in there and have overstayed essentially your inner man came to clean house bleach and all! LOL! 😂🤣😭

We had to get started up in order to move into action with the things that no longer serve us on the seven levels of our overall well being. This was and is a solo mission that no would could/ can assist you with because it starts with you and ends with you. In this first month of 2021, we couldn’t afford to live as we were living before because life is so dynamic and we must go and flow with the change that God has already planned for us. This month was not just about reevaluating relationships, friendships etc. but more so reflecting and dissecting yourself in every aspect imagined. The time of this battle is solely focusing on YOU! What area in YOUR life wasn’t working and you literally getting on your own damn nerves? You have to fight for the life you want to create and step into the fullness and worthiness of YOU! The positive risks that you take in January in full faith, trust, love, wisdom etc will start the domino effect in your life and rid yourself of the fear, boundary issues, the lack mentality and the many illusions that once blinded you and kept you stuck. This spatial development within you is in the process of being completely clear and allows for the more abundant things to show up and take root in your life aka the blessings! You have successfully rolled the dice and come out of the Jumanji season in your life hence you are winning the battle that is within so you can live life and not just exist. You are given signs and symbols to let you know you are on the right path but you must tap in and lean on your intuition because it will never steer you wrong! You are called to do many things to make a change in this world. Like they say “ people that are crazy enough to think they change the world end up doing it.” In order to make that happen just be authentically yourself and trust the process completely, honestly and faithfully.

As always remember to be good to yourself as well as to others and to #LiveLifePositive 🤍🕉️
