Now that we’re into 2023, like, for real
I happen to be writing you right during the Pisces New Moon and to say that I've been feeling it (especially as a Pisces sun, Pisces moon, Cancer rising) is an understatement. The truth is, these last several months have entered my life like characters that have received their cue from side-stage and have stepped forward as my next teachers on this journey. I won't get into it because it's a very long story and, in my mind and my own perception of it, is very messy...and timely. Which is great because my ultimate desire is to learn, grown, and expand in this life...and I have learned that this means uncovering, releasing, shedding, facing, healing. And that process isn't always rainbows, hummingbirds, beloved neighboring cats, magical wildlife sightings (that will make more sense if you've been following my IG journey) but it is all interspersed with them. Plus, on the other side, it's always better than I imagined, in often very surprising ways. So, I'm keeping my eye on that prize while also finding pride in the knowing that I am consciously participating and allowing this processes to occur.
As a way to honor my own energetic needs and allowing myself to use what bandwidth I have to do the work that is begging to be done right now, I am being really deliberate about waving to the guilt as it passes me on the highway, rather than beckoning to it because it's familiar and then letting it jump into my car at full speed (and I do like to speed, I'll admit it!). I'm taking as much time to rest as I crave. I'm letting my schedule be as open as it can be and only agreeing to do things that I really want to do and know lift me up. That's also part of the work itself, continuing to refine my standards for myself and letting things continue to get better and better - even though I was told long ago, by those who didn't know better, that there's a limit on how good things can get.
If any part of this resonates with you, even the tiniest of details, consider that to be a confirmation/acknowledgement of where you are on your own journey. If something strikes a chord for you or grabs your attention, it's a message for you too. What would your experience be like if you opened to that idea.
On another note, I have been continuing my work in the Human Design arena and am feeling called to dive further into Mom/child readings. I have done a few readings of this nature and the impact has been so wonderful. I can't help but think back to my own childhood and wish that my parents knew about my design and how I could have been better understood and nurtured and how that would have changed my entire life. I simultaneously know that it all happened as it did on purpose and led me to where I am today so that I can bring this to others so that their path can be different.
If learning about your child's Human Design intrigues you, let me know as I'm preparing this offering for you!
With love,
Emily
