The Universe Reminds Us - Get Creative!
This past weekend I was at a workshop with amazing folks - going through a guided meditation/hypnosis/journey (smack a label on it - they all seem to be the same just different words ;-)) One thing my inner child said loud and clear (both my Eddie J - early development Jennie - and my Addie J - adolescent Jennie - was that I needed to sing more. This was the way that I as an adult could “play” more with all the younger versions of me. I laughed as I love to sing. Music is my language. Car. Shower. Sing a message to my cats or hubs versus speaking it. 🤣 Dancing in the kitchen, doodling, drawing, writing - are also beautiful forms of joy. It opens channels to our inner child and to our higher self but it lightens the vibe that allows that connection. Do you implement these items in your world? Do you notice a shift from ho-hum to joy? Does the energy feel lighter? Share your experiences and let’s learn together 😀☀️🎨🎶💃

I’ve been more connected to my younger self in more recent years. One profound moment, I was cycling in the South of France and it was really warm I was cycling up a hill it felt impossible. Then whoosh I was going down hill my legs sticking out my hair was flying and I felt like a child again. I often think of that when I am creating now as it’s like accessing the funnest part of me 🥰
Higher Guidance: This Week's Message
What do we need to know this week for our highest and greatest good? Queen of Pentacles and 8 of Swords - The Queen is nurturing, grounded, and abundant. You can see it in the green of the card representing growth, the yellow representing solar plexus energy of confidence and discipline, and the pentacles showcasing stability in the material world. - We also have the cherubs = angelic support, along with tulips bringing in spring energy and bunnies representing renewal and new beginnings. - The 8 of Swords tells us that this week we may be more in our minds. There may be overthinking, indecision, and a desire for forward movement while feeling stuck. - This is a reminder to pause, take a breath, ground yourself, and allow your intuition to guide your next step. You are more supported and stable than your thoughts are leading you to believe. What do we need to do this week? Reversed 9 of Wands - The wands remind us of passion and inner fire, while the swords from above reflect thoughts and mental energy. - That passion within you is still there. It is still moving forward even if you feel tired from the climb or worn down from the battle. - With this card reversed, it is asking you to stop expecting the worst. Release the need to push through everything on your own and allow support in when needed. You do not have to do this alone. The number 9 also carries the energy of completion. Something is coming to a close, and in doing so, it is creating space for something new to begin. :) What chakra learn or consider this week? Solar Plexus Chakra - Free will, courage, willpower, a choice. Well this speaks perfectly to the cards we pulled, doesn't it? - The number 17 breaks down to 8 (1+7 = 8), which is movement forward. This mirrors the Eight of Swords. Movement is available, but it requires a choice. - A choice to shift out of overthinking. A choice to trust yourself. You can move forward this week if you get out of your own way. Overall energy = Ground into what is real. Quiet the mind. Moving forward does not have to come from force, it comes from making a decision and stepping forward. Be the Queen of Pentacles! :)

Brilliant reading thank you 🙏🏼 🥰
Planning your week…
A part of spiritual and intuitive development is creating quiet time and learning that the check-list of to do’s can be a distraction (even though we feel so accomplished after knocking ten items off that list by noon, right?!!) In the mix of your planning of this week, make yourself a priority. Not in a selfish way per se, but carving out time for you. Your needs include some quiet time, movement, healthy nourishment. Without nourishing (or nurturing!) yourself, how can you help others? What’s one thing you can confidently add to your list this week that prioritizes you?

This space continues to grow because of the kindness, curiosity, and wisdom each member brings - and now you’re a part of that. 🦄Also, take some time to scroll through the posts - there’s so much here to explore at your leisure.
