✨June 1st, 2023 - Thursday Thought✨
Good Morning Mystics!
I find it's hard to choose which card is going to be my focus for our Thursday Thoughts as I have so many I can talk about. But, I've settled on The Threshold today! I find we're always on the cusp of something new. A threshold of beginning and ending; ending and beginning. Of stepping into a new state. Being in a liminal space where we're not who we were and we're not yet who we're becoming.

It's funny...I feel like I've been on so many thresholds lately as I say goodbye to old parts of me and hello to the new parts. As I learn to love and accept the shadow parts of myself and integrate them into the light. They're just as deserving of love as the light parts. And it's hard sometimes because certain experiences taught me to hate those parts of myself. I am constantly asked to hold space for those aspects and to be gentle with myself, which has been an incredibly eye opening and needed lesson. Of course, I am a work in progress. I am whole as I am, enough as I am, and yet I can still learn and grow.
✨A forever becoming.✨
The threshold that started it all was last year with wanting to change. Of knowing that I couldn't continue certain habits, yet I had no idea where to begin. I was willing to try and start anyway, and in that space I found books, teachers, and a deeper understanding of what this journey would take. And it's a lot at times, but I'm not going anywhere. But I've been leaning into and living the mystery of certain questions that I won't share yet as they're currently my self secret. I'm still learning and growing with them. My spiritual practice has deepened immensely and I'm starting to let this side of me show more and more.

What I can tell you is that it's hard to step over the threshold when you don't know what's on the other side. When everything is filled with the unknown and a deep uncertainty. That uncertainty is scary as sh*t. But it's got a soft curiosity underlying it that you can't help but wonder...what would happen if I take the leap? What would happen if I crossed the threshold? After doing it multiple times since September last year—I'd been given a taste in January—I can say in all honesty that yes it's scary and you worry and doubt if it's right for you...every time I have taken the leap I have been wonderfully surprised. It's never been what I expected which was usually the worst case scenario. It's been better.

So, if you find yourself on the edge of a threshold, know that I am with you. It is safe for you to take the first step into something new.
Note: This post will not resonate with everyone and that's okay. Take what does and leave the rest. Trust your intuition!
