✨June 8th, 2023 - Thursday Thought✨
Good Morning Mystics!
Earlier this week I felt a strong need to go outside for a walk. I needed movement, and my soul really yearned for nature—birds singing, blooming flowers and trees. Small blue dragonfly's passed by me in the long grass, the sun beat down on my head, and the air was thick with summer heat. It's not even the Summer Solstice yet! I found I kept getting lost in the bright blue sky—not a cloud to be seen. I'm telling you this because sometimes you need to go out and do something your body, mind, and soul yearns for.

During my walk, I felt my being open and soften at the same time. Wild roses were blooming near a park with a man-made pond. I saw the most gorgeous tree with silver leaves. I don't know what kind it is, but looking it up it could be a Silver Leaf Willow! I also saw a duck with baby ducklings all bunched together. And, a beautiful butterfly flew in front of me.

Now, why is this story important? Nature & fear, Mystics. I'm not one for going outside a lot as I have a deep-rooted fear towards bees and wasps. An incident occurred when I was very young and I've been afraid of them ever since. There are days where I can't even go on the back deck to enjoy a morning coffee because my fear is so bad. But the point is I'm trying. I've developed such a deep love for nature because of an oracle deck that came into my life. A connection that I sort of had as a kid, but lost as I grew up and that fear (phobia) became greater.

What I love about the card pictured above is how calm and serene the character looks in the forest, the growth, the abundance of life. A part of me yearns to be like that. And...I know this version of me is inside, somewhere, and that she'll rise when she's meant to. Every day when I work on my fear I take a step closer to her. And there are days when it's incredibly hard and I need to be extra gently with myself.
✨
We all have the things that bother us, trigger us, cause us great fear. And we have our days where we can meet them and days where we can't. We try and show up to this work because we know it's important. One day this fear won't stop me. One day I will walk through a field of wild flowers, of roses, of daffodils, and daisy's, and I will not be afraid of the bees or the wasps walking with me.
✨
And in sharing this, I'm showing you, Mystics, that I'm not perfect. I have things about myself, too, that I need to work through. And I'm doing it. Some days we need breaks. That work will be there for us when we come back. It can be tiring. But again—it's that willingness to show up and be present with the things that are causing us pain. It's moving through them and with them so in time they can ebb away and we're left with the pearls of wisdom in the end. With a deeper knowing of ourselves and our strength, our power. Never be afraid to seek and ask for support when you need it most. It's during those times we can create the most change knowing others have our back.
