That Friday Feeling: entry 3

So long!

Friday marks Julys end

Good morning. It is the last Friday and day of July if you can believe it! One thing I noticed physically this month is my nails grew so much. I was curious about it, so I only did one manicure just be able to see the growth. That was on the 7th so not even a whole month has past. Thats crazy fast! I will probably do a new manicure this weekend. I have a polish I haven’t worn yet that I’ve had since January I’d like to wear. It’s called ‘Dead Reckoning’ from Prism Polish. I have a few brass rings that would look really cool with it and I never get to wear them. The only thing about having long nails I find frustrating is that it contributes to my spelling errors! I feel like I’m constantly rewriting stuff. 

Everyone should blog

Yesterday I changed the layout and look of the blog itself, I think it looks better. I hope you all think so too, and that it’s easy to navigate. I’m just learning more about Blogger as I go, and I’m totally okay with that. It’s slightly different than ‘Ghost.org’ where I had my last blog. I think it’s easier actually, and definitely cheaper. I think everyone should have a blog, if you want one you are certainly capable of keeping one. This is just one way to express yourself, it doesn’t take away from any other ways, it enhances it by filling in the gaps. You get me in a raw form over here vs social media. I almost created a blog immediately after Kitsune’s Corner, and was going to name it Michelle in the Raw. It just came to me one day, and to me it meant the me in a raw form from the soul. But I thought it would be taken wrong. I’m sure if you thought about it for a second you could see how. So actually, this blog was waiting for me to be ready to create it for a longtime, and I just spiraled back and reached that part of my personal timeline. I just had to give it a new name and start. I’ve never told anyone or wrote about this before so you 🫵🏻 reading this…you are the first to know! It’s not that big of deal but it is a part of me. The part I share with you. 

My personal links

I am going to try and put links up on the blog home page to my socials IG, threads, pinterest and my store on Mercari. I’ll explain them real quick. I bet my ‘real quick’ is long as hell 😆.

IG- I do visit everyday and post often but it’s not very engaging, I admit. Also before asking, no, I don’t get what I give.  I comment and like on an array posts everyday, and then hope that the algorithm doesn’t shadowban me for too much engagement. I get next nothing in return, acknowledgment of reading it like reacting with a heart, or follow back most of the time. It kind of makes you feel everyone has blocked you. It’s like the universe is watching to see how easily I give up. I keep giving on IG regardless because I’m either insane or resilient, maybe both 🤔.  So why do I stay? It isn’t purely for outside validation it is to see for myself that exist with the rest of the world with my outward eyes. There is something about Instagram I’m still fond of and don’t wish to leave. They did recently make a change I actually like, you can move posts around in the main grid. So I’ve been moving things to make it more aesthetically pleasing for ME to look at if nothing else. It will take a few days, I have a lot of posts but it’s coming along, it’s weird stuff like that I find fun. I also tend to move all video off my main grid after a few days but they are still visible under the play button ▶️ next to the grid. I long for the way it used to be more of a photo share social experience and less of a promotional app. I understand why it is used that way, but nobody engages with advertisements, why would you, it’s not warm, it doesn’t feel like a person. It’s lost a lot of charm. I only have a handful of real engaging friends, that I know in the real world, or at least know they are humans and not bots. I appreciate them, but it still feels bleak when everything else is just mass surveillance. 

Threads- is pure chaos. I feel like it’s in a good way though. I can feel the energy when it’s good and when it’s bad, it’s has its days, and while there are lots of bots there are also real people. Occasionally those people reach out to say something kind, inspiring, or share photo or memory of their own relatable story. Then you have the trolls which are probably also just bots. I do interact differently with threads than IG. I never use social media messaging unless I really trust you, and you’ll get like one word answers there, not true engagement. It would be much easier to email me to engage a conversation. That is in the home page. If you have my other email address, well, I guess you’re the real insider you may email me at either address anytime for any reason. I trust you!

Pinterest- I adore it so much, I’ve been there over a decade and I just can’t leave it. If you want to get into all my crevasses this is it. You’ll know all about me, the what I love, the way I think, my sense of humor, pretty much who I am. I’d say it is like the ultimate cliff notes to me. Like, go there read me, it’s a required friendship manual, and if you like what you find then you will know if you like me in real life or not. I know I’m not for everyone and would never want to be. 

Mercari- my online shop that I sell things on, it’s not at all about the money on there it’s more about giving someone else something I have I no longer need, or outgrown, or have too many, or I created something to share. Whatever it is, sometimes I have to downsize in one area so I can upsize in another.  It is a way for me to do that and get little something out of selling it, at least enough for me to come out even by paying shipping, on top of creating the empty space for something else I want or need. I like to think someone will get more joy from it than I did. I mostly sell fragrant jewels rings. I used to be a part of the inner circle and accumulated to many rings I didn’t want in the first place, I sometimes buy the ones I actually wanted from others there too, it’s fun.

That is probably more than I needed to say today. If this interests you and you are someone who doesn’t follow me yet and want to, I’ll try to get the links working before the day ends. Have a good weekend.

Reflect Thursdays: entry 3

My first ever liquid lipsticks from Limecrime black and red velvet (2015)

National Lipstick Day 👄 

This is a different kind of memory post for me. I went through a phase where I was obsessed with lipstick, as you can see I made weird photos like this one for no real reason. Really I was obsessed with makeup in general but with emphasis on lips and eyes. I have phased out of that for the most part and barely wear any day to day.  I do have some favorites though, and I’ll list them and talk about that and show pictures. I am not affiliated with any brands I mention. All opinions are my true feelings about the products I purchased with my own money. 

First I have tried lip venoms by Too Faced to get that fuller lip look, but those are short lived and irritating to lip in turn causes that plumping effect. Some of us like that feeling though, me included but it was more of a psychological thing associated with the product working. I found the plumping gloss by City Lips and there isn’t anything better than that. It swells lips fast and significantly for a long time, and it seems to build over time with consistent use. If you do skip a few days your lips will go back to normal though. Another perk is there is no irritation or flavor. Just leave on five minutes or longer before putting on lipstick. You can wear it alone as a gloss and it comes in different shades, it is very hydrating and silky not sticky at all. I’ve never had fillers injected. 

City Lips clear plumping gloss

Anastasia Beverly Hills Requiem Liquid Lipstick

Coven Cosmetics Void Liquid Lip

I did have most of this line KVD Everlasting Lipsticks 🥀

Fenty Gloss Bombs (The Best!) ♥️ 

KVD Lovecraft 💕
🥴 I was drunk, I wanted to see how it made my teeth look 

KVD Bow n Arrow 🏹 🫦 

Urban decay Native and First Sin exclusive to their website 

All the black in this picture is KVD Witches everlasting lipstick

Charlotte Tillbury Jewelgasm lipgloss (loved it!) one of those ph glosses
Tasted like fruit cocktail from a can 😆 
The most I’ve ever paid for a gloss!

M.A.C. crème de nude…ah concealer lips days! 

Charlotte Tillbury lip tint in Tinted Love 💕 so good!

ABH Cherry- love the shade but not the formula for color this vibrant it’s messy

ABH Rose- this shade is good formula is fine for this light color

So this is what I would purchase these days. City lips clear gloss, I always have a back up. Charlotte Tillbury lip stain and gloss is my favorite, very expensive but so different and luxurious without cruelty, and I appreciate that. Fenty gloss is a favorite. As for black lipstick I will only wear it in liquid matte form because I don’t want it to travel all over my face. I probably need to try a new brand as Coven doesn’t seem to sell void anymore. KVD isn't the same anymore, and lime crime isn’t no longer. I loved M.A.C. Lipstick but until it’s cruelty free I’m not purchasing it again. 

Here are some I’ll not repurchase 

M.A.C. Morange, didn’t look too bad 

KVD Echo? I think it was called was ok

M.A.C. Rebel…I don’t love this berry purple on my skin tone

Art lesson in procreate illustrator

Layering photos

Hello! Happy Wednesday. Today is just a quick showing how I made this layered photograph enhancement using the illustration app called Procreate, which might be exclusive to iPad. I’m not entirely sure. I have had the app for a few years, I think it might be free and if not it’s only a few dollars in a one time fee. 

I made a video but it won’t upload it’s too large 😑. So, I guess I’ll just explain it and insert a screenshot collage? Okay let’s go 👇🏻

Get two photos two layer in mind you wish to use in easy access in your iPad photo library

Open the procreate app. 

Go to the upper right hand corner to the ➕ sign and click it open

Create a new canvas, I always do screen size and change the color from white to black this will be your background layer. Below is an example.

The two photos, then go to new canvas, open canvas go to far right corner to layers button, open to background layer change color to black or whatever color you want, you can then save that background in a format and save to computer or just continue. 

Next go to upper left corner to the actions button 🔧, scroll to add picture, obtain picture from photos insert and align it to liking on background. If you’d like to save in steps you can do that now, or keep going. Do the same for next picture, place it directly on the other one. 

Once lined up you go to the upper right again to layers button to change opacity and type of layer you want. The first photo is not changed at all it sits at 100% opacity in ‘normal’. My second layer I chose 41% opacity in ‘overlay’. Exit out of that to see photo again.

If you want to do detail erasing make sure your are on the layer of your picture you wish to erase, and go up to the eraser then come down to erase unwanted lines. Use the left side bar o change size and intensity of the eraser head.  I didn’t mind the lines in the hair, but I demonstrated it here in before and after for you just to show you it can be done.

Once done with all that go back to action button 🔧 to save to your iPad. 
Go to share button, choose format, then hit save photo and that’s it. It will also save it to your procreate gallery. If you delete something on the gallery wall it doesn’t delete it in your iPad library. Hope this was interesting, layers are lots of fun once you get the hang of it. Just go in play around and learn, the app is practically free.

Have a great night and I will be back tomorrow with a throwback memory of some sort.

This weeks cosmic peek 🫣: entry 3

A sign from Saturn to slow down, photo from 2023.

Hello, everyone it is Tuesday/Mars day if you didn’t know. Which could start out extra grumptastic because Mars in Gemini is squaring Venus in Virgo 28/29 (it’s only two days!) if these are your placements you’ll feel it more. Now that you know you can be mindful.

Relationships with others: both ruled by mercury/communication and control. 

Do give space, Fix an issue without placing blame on others if possible, be patient

Don’t get into petty arguments, watch impulses, nitpicking, micromanaging people, rushing an outcome 

Lions Gate portal open:

We talked about that already, it is a triple abundance year 888, so keep solar plexus balanced and lead with the heart, stay in gratitude, feel the warm waves of expansion radiating from your body, move energy, hug your body stretch your body. Breathe deeply, sigh deeply. Be cat like, take your time. 

Saturn retrograde in Aries: 

Saturn wants you to review the big picture, you’re not being punished your being refined. This is more significant if you have Saturn in Aries because it’s your first or second return. This is a really challenging placement because Aries rules the 1st house of identity so these changes effect your identity, especially Aries risings. Saturn will be in Aries until April 2028,  so you have time to adjust to necessary changes even though it doesn’t feel like you do. It is because Aries is ruled by Mars, and Mars and Saturn don’t always work well together, especially when he retrogrades. Saturn returns are milestone moments in maturity. Your first return is building your foundation and taking responsibility for your own life for the first time, and it’s hard, all the while managing your frustrations and impulses as you move into being more adult. You’ll be in that feeling of looking for the adult to ask and realizing that adult is now you! Gasp. The second is more of reflecting on what you’ve built, passing wisdom down from embodiment while still cutting out immature habits you find yourself falling back into from the first time, they will resurface in you or those around you. You may clock it without judgement because you’ve done that shadow work and don’t need to. Now you give yourself and others some grace for having human flaws. This time you will make better choices because you’re wiser now, and you deserve a break. I have yet to go through my second Saturn return so don’t have any real lived experience to share but my first return was eye opening.

Full Buck/Thunder moon in Aquarius:

Sensitive people are already feeling this, on top of that Mars ◼️ Venus. Yes we do in fact feel the moon three days before and after. It pulls the water on this planet and if you didn’t know you are mostly water as well. Water holds emotion, memories, wisdom. That’s why we drink extra water during the intense summer sun cycles, so we retain the solar (sol/soul) wisdom. Full moons are release energy, this is why you feel extra heavy in the body at the moment if you have not released pent up energy this month. You may also sync your menstrual cycle with the full moon which is also a release of energy called red moon cycle, but not every woman. Some ovulate with the full moon and bleed with the new moon instead called white moon cycle, and some in between it can fluctuate. I was in red moon for 24 consecutive months and now I’ve moved into white moon this year, I prefer that because I can usually sleep better. The nodes shifted this year as well so that can drastically pull on your menstrual cycle too. If you are mindful enough to release regularly in healthy ways full moons do not bother you much. 

We also have few meteor showers this week the Delta Aquariids and Alpha Capricornids. They may be visible where the sky is darkest, which can be tricky with a bright full moon stealing the show. It still worth a look if you get the chance. Buck moon refers to the time of year the bucks get new antlers, and thunder is for summer thunder storms. Both names are correct.

I think that covers the main things. Have a great Mars day 😬😆

Becoming a Self Taught Genius

The habit that separates…

Understanding is a process

Todays Monday Motivation movie is a fascinating look at how to retain more knowledge like the great minds of our time. I very much enjoyed this and think you will as well because you are here after all. Great minds think alike, humbly of course 😆. I hope your Monday is enjoyable as it can be, and you get something useful from this. 

Sunday is for Self care: Entry 3

The solar calm/clairsentience, fearlessness, heart centered expansion

Good morning, I didn’t write a post here yesterday. I woke up feeling not so great so I rested and by the end of the day I felt much better. 

Welcome to the new galactic year, and first day of Lions Gate

Find the time each day to light a candle and speak with gratitude for abundance this year ahead, ideally at the same time each day. Make it a new candle at the start if possible solely for this purpose, any shade of white, gold, yellow, orange, red will do to represent the fire energy. Indigo works as well, hottest fire is blue. Green and teal also work as they represent heart and high heart. You can also wait until 8/8 (the peak) if you like, portal closes on the 12th.  Don’t blow the candle out because air and fire scatter energy your and disrespects the fire energy. Pinch the flame with fingers after being dipped in water or use snuffer, or use a heat safe metal to dip the wick quickly into the melted wax and then pull it out again. You can also just light it once and let it burn itself out but not unattended, put and a glass bowl with 1” water for extra precaution. Safety first!

Meditate on the heart chakra, pull that energy sitting in the solar plexus up. Breathe! Let out your deep sigh. Feel your heart expanding. I know you can do it! 

This is what I have for today. 

 

Friday feeling: entry 2

The oracle of the radiant sun

Lionsgate candle, sun sphere stand, dried summer flowers and a yooperlite bunny

“Can you believe it? It’s Friday once again!” 

If you can tell me where that’s from that would be really funny. 

As promised a few photos of my 88 portal things. I may have more by the time it actually rolls around but I’ve not purchased anything else as of yet. I will probably get a small blacklight flashlight so I can actually see the luminous yooperlite, I didn’t think about it. So if I do I’ll post another pic of the bunny lit up. I picked the firey bunny for the summer finale. I do have something unrelated coming to share another day that I’m excited about. Along with a nail polish for the eclipse next month. 

I hope you are all doing well, I forgot to mention in my cosmic out look about the galactic holidays tomorrow and Sunday. Tomorrow is the day out of time and Sunday is the galactic new year. It is a Mayan tradition that follows the 13 moon calendar. Basically you spend tomorrow at your pace focusing on leisurely things like family, art, food, music, whatever you like and not pocket watch yourself. 

I’m not showing and telling to show off, I am show and telling to give ideas on material to make life more enjoyable, these are just things that help my soul express itself. I know everyone is different but this is what I’ve manifested this month. You just have to decide what you wish to have and it will line up for you. Of course be grateful and there’s always next month if you didn’t, keep focusing. 

Alright I now need to go clean up and figure out something to eat. See you later.

Oh yeah and this happened on Threads, it’s mostly funny to me, but also grateful. Don’t give up on a platform you like, you just never know. 

how many!! 😳

Reflect Thursdays: entry 2

Day lilies in the neighborhood July 2023 

Good evening. I apologize I’m lagging today. I just woke up from a nap and remembered I didn’t post here yet. I still have a package to get and a make video for IG. I might put it off until tomorrow. I will post a collage of everything tomorrow here as well. 

It’s been a whole hour since I started writing…I must have a Mercury Retrograde hangover 😂. No not the drinking kind I don’t drink. Since I don’t have anything to talk about tonight I guess I can reflect on that. I quit drinking January 2023. I had one blue moon on Labor Day later that year and couldn’t finish it so I don’t count that. I just decided I didn’t want to do it anymore, for health reasons and stopped. It was actually pretty easy for me even if others are drinking. I don’t really miss it. I have tried all the non alcoholic beers and I really can’t drink those either, it’s the fermented grain that is the real problem makes me very uncomfortable.

I don’t know, I guess I’m at that age, I don’t want to do unnecessary damage to my body. I want to be able to atleast say I tried to do better, even if it doesn’t extend my life. I’m not judging others that do, not everyone processes alcohol the same way I have methylation issues that make it worse. 

I guess that’s all for today it’s almost 9pm. Back tomorrow with a Friday post to inspire. 

Weekly Art Discussion: entry 2

Gelli stamp plate, brayer/roller, and some acrylic paints

Good afternoon, I still feel overwhelmed with this topic and I did not pre-think up anything in particular to write about. So, this is just going to be a quick free writing ‘thing’. I’m just typing, not stopping. I am  pressed for time today, and my mind is slipping into thoughts around that. I have some deliveries and a sneak peek post to put up on Instagram, hopefully today. Also very hungry, I have some jolly ranchers to trick my mouth into believing I’m eating. 

I am really into gelli stamp art once I get started, and have been playing around with it for a while. I’m looking to post some stuff soon and I’ve been saying it for a year at least. I get overwhelmed at the whole video thing. Something else that is a pain about it is it is very messy. You have to clean the stamp, the brushes, stencils and the brayer/roller every time. Ideally if you get into gelli stamping, I’d suggest buying three brayers to start, that way you can always have a clean one ready to go. There is always the base paint layer (your top layer) which for me is usually black which forms the outline of your print, photo, drawing, wherever you use. Then at the very least you’ll have a pick up layer on top of that after it dries. In between use you could paint other colors into it by hand with stencils or paintbrushes or sponges, leaves, shells, even buttons! The options are endless really, you can press anything with texture into it…

Lay your paper over the stamp after the last layer of paint goes on then wait a little while. When all the layers are dry, slowly pull the paper or canvas off and you’ll have your painting. From there you can continue to paint layers on top, you can even stamp more over it if you want, totally up to you. You may want to get some masking tape to ensure clean edges, and seal the painting with fixative of your choice.

The gelli stamp is compatible with all kinds of mediums, very versatile. If you are unsure I would just maybe google it first to make sure a substance doesn’t eat your stamp. Also it does look and squish like a gummi bear. But it is not a gummi bear, do not eat your gelli stamp. 😂. I’m too hungry to write anymore. I’m craving an unwhich from Jimmy John’s and well…you know about the lettuce in this country by now. I’m so close to taking my chances. So close.

Tune in tomorrow for a better post. Also, stop by my personal IG page later for a possible unboxing. It’s 2:30pm and the mail is just arriving now. 

You don’t need a press machine for this gel just press it on paper, keep the plastic container to house it when not in use, they come in many shapes and sizes. This is the smallest one there is 3”x 5”, it costs roughly $13. I also have a that 4”x4” square one I think it was $16. I feel like if you needed a smaller one then this you could probably cut it up, I just haven’t tried it. 

This weeks cosmic peek 🫣

A clip of an old story I wrote about my multidimensional life (2024)

July is just booming with transits, I think around 14! Which is more than twice as many as a normal month. So hang in there, no matter your stars you are bound to feel out of sorts. 

Tomorrow the sun moves into its home sign of Leo with Mercury forward moving right behind it on Thursday and will also enter Leo next month on August 9th. That is good for everyone!  Mercury moves forward but will still be in shadow phase until August 7th. Collectively, communication will start to improve soon as well as morale 😂. Mercury retrograde is particularly rough when it is in the water signs, so many feelings. My Mercury is in Pisces, so it’s hard enough for me to communicate clearly when everything moves normal. It’s because Pisces is Mercury’s fall and detriment so I get double the debilitation. I haven’t always been a bad communicator, and I long for the old days of my Mercury in Aquarius again, it’s still there but a past chapter.  My sun progression is also in Pisces now, and it is an even lonelier feeling than Aquarius sun if you could even imagine. Shiver. Just a really misunderstood position despite having unlimited inner knowledge you feel like a ghost with a language nobody knows.  Anyways, I’m getting way off topic. I have made it through without too much crying. Meanwhile it’s Saturn’s turn to move backward starting Saturday until December 10th. All the while we are still in the barbault basket…with the lotion. 

If that wasn’t enough excitement for a while the nodes of destiny change from Virgo and Pisces to Leo and Aquarius on Sunday where they stay until March 2028. Technically,  I guess that starts next week but I figured I’d mention it now, because it happens before my next “Cosmic Peek Post” on Tuesdays. 

July is the Goat month in Chinese astrology, I think wood goat. So I guess it is the best month of this year for me. Still a few days left. Jupiter in Leo is supposed to be great as well but Pluto is in Aquarius retrograding so 😂. Also I’m a Leo rising with my north node in Leo. So the destiny transit is placing its South node on my north node in the 1st house. I’ll leave to my draconian placements to steer the ship. Aquarius is my (draconian/dragon rising) and draconian/true Leo sun, so when I feel stuck in my 3d life I’ll remind myself my soul is leading the way no matter the distance. 

How are these transits going for you in your life? Leave it in the you know where by now.

Astronomy Lesson

I have dedicated Mondays to some sort of lesson, something that makes you go 🤔? I watched this and thought that very thing. Could we already be living inside a black hole that resides in a larger parent universe? You may tell me your thoughts in the comments. Or simply watch and write your own journal entries in private. Have a thought provoking day!

🤯

Sunday is for self care entry 2

A cosmic cradle for the cat 

Hello, I hoped to get here earlier but I slept in, like really late, and it pushed everything hours forward. That’s fine by me, I am not in a huge rush to do anything. It’s a fun day after all. 

Happy barbault basket day at its peak. Put everything in the basket and run. Just kidding. It is a planetary alignment formed from a rare set of sextiles, conjunctions, and oppositions that create a basket. Each at 4 degrees, Jupiter, Neptune, Uranus and Pluto. We’ve not experienced it in this lifetime but I guess that it is a global reset and awakening kind of event. It seems due I embrace it.

I’m really having a great week, I found something extremely exciting to me that I’ll reveal soon. I also have a few things for the 8/8 portal to show. A candle, some dried flowers, a sphere stand, a fifth crystal bunny to complete my set, and a beautiful new oracle deck to inspire me to read more often. I may get a few more things for lions gate. I also want a certain nail polish for the solar eclipse on the 12th, finally getting it, I wanted it for years and put it off, for what though. Just do it. 

Today for my something new or treat I have jolly ranchers. I haven’t had them in forever, I was probably a teenager the last time not even kidding. Are they living up to expectations? They are alright, my favorite is the apple and there were only three in the bag. I’m probably good after this for another 25-30 years.

I’m afraid it isn’t all that exciting to write about today. I haven’t been awake long enough. So I’m going to sign off now. But I’ll be back mañana. 

Music. I’m still on my Journey kick…am I ok 🥴, someday day soon. 

A rose quartz heart, it has a face! Do you see it?

Pondering deeper thoughts: A Saturn Day Series entry 2

My angel aura quartz and…my angel 

 Self belief, vibration, and manifesting life in real time

If you don’t believe in yourself, nobody (human being) outside of you will either. I recommend taking this out in the wild if you are an alchemist and see for yourself as an experiment. We can return to a lower vibration to resonate for short periods with other people. It is all a learning experience we should not avoid, but as you gradually become more light the density will suffocate you if you stay too long, so keep feet on the ground and crown on your head, stay cloaked and warded. Follow each experience with cleansing the body, mind and spirit to recover.  It isn’t fake to tune into the lower for someone else, it is a true sympathetic resonance. Only someone who knows their worth can lift their own spirits for long enough to make a lasting change in their life. The other ones who cannot muster enough love within need rescued, it’s okay to share light when you know your own boundaries. People caught in the loop of loathing, stay stuck, because the only way out is through their own darkness back up into the light and it can feel near impossible to conquer. You know it because you been there, you have believed in yourself enough to pull through it. This is what you share with them, if they can’t lift their vibration, they won’t manifest anything but more despair. They may want a certain life and can say it out loud but it changes nothing if they they cannot envision that day, and feel that feeling of it happening, it cannot manifest. Not until they believe they deserve it and turn belief into knowing. Knowing you deserve it is key.  Help is there but hardly ever utilized. Nobody grieves more than the guardian assigned to help us, they aren’t separate from us, they are the version of us waiting to be integrated.

Becoming the Angel you were always meant to be

I have said before in a previous post that we are multidimensional beings of light. Humans are the lowest man on the totem pole of light beings. We can only access those higher parts of ourselves if we know that we can.  Our angelic self is always there, yes but they cannot interfere with the physical self, until you give them instructions to do so. They’ve never experienced being human and you’ve never understood being 6th dimensional. You teach each other the ropes, they long to die as you long to live. You can meet this part of yourself if you raise your frequency towards them. Your angel self is in the 6th dimensional layer, in the limitlessness of the super consciousness mind. Look toward your rising signs constellation that is where they are from, undercover that and akashic records open there for you to start remembering your souls path. You give them a name (tell no one) and you let them become you by pulling them into the 3D. The angel doesn’t really die, you just pull that outer layer into embodiment. We are just evolving into the inevitable as we learn. When we embody our 6th dimensional self it’s with intention, grace, and accountability. The path ahead is ours to draw as we walk it, it isn’t without challenges, we can do hard things, we are still imperfect beings not excused from divine timing. We use our intuition to guide our every step. Instead of giving our powers away to other people we admit our faults with humility and try again, and again, and again. We know what we know and do what we do to the best of our ability. We have been given the blueprints of our everlasting life by giving the angel a safe place to land and rest while waking up the dormant codes of our DNA. Manifest everything with ease, you know you deserve it.

My gift 🤲🏻.  That is all for now 🪽 

That Friday feeling

Enjoy the good days

 Well it is finally Friday, made it full circle on my first week of blogging as far as the ol’ Gregorian calendar goes. It feels amazing, since I’ve returned to writing publicly my body inflammation has been almost nonexistent. If you don’t know already,  I am someone dealing with healing my body from multiple aliments that leave me chronically inflamed. I don’t feel like going into all that today, I like to shift the focus to more positive topics. I just want to say this week has been good on me. With that said,  I always say “I am healing”, it is always better than saying, “yeah, I’m still sick”. The wording itself gives you your power back. Believe in the miracles, you are more powerful than you give yourself credit with nothing to lose in that statement.

I’m just on the fly here, I would like to keep this post short so I can get on with my day. There is more I can get done when I have more movement in my body and today is one of those days. Before I go I have a fun thing for you to all try, you can do this. 

Grab a book it doesn’t matter what it is, just pick one. Put in down in front of you and close your eyes, keep them closed. Open the book and start flipping the pages, stop when it feels right, use a finger as a stop.  What word did your finger land on? What is the page number?  The word will be your topic and the page is how many words you must write about it. You will surprise yourself how much you will come up with. This creativity will bleed through the rest of your life and improve your communication skills. 

This is what I have for you today. I hope it is enjoyable. Feel free to comment below, or share with me one on one, via email button which is located on the home page. For more inspirational posts tune in on Fridays! Have an excellent weekend. 

Panda Express has spoken! This is a message for all of you! 😊

Reflect Thursdays

Konza Prairie Nature Reserve 

Remembrance, reactions and revising the script of your life

I’ve dedicated Thursdays to reflecting on the past in some way. Inspired by social media throwback Thursday. Throwing it back doesn’t mean to get rid of a memory, like “that’s painful, I don’t want it anymore.” Well, we can only learn by return, that’s why we are here, and in this case ‘past’ is a time that doesn’t actually exist anymore except for when you recollect it. Try to look back at it with new eyes. That is the only way to change the past frequency of the experience. This is part of shadow work, and I love a good shadow work session. Many times you think you’ve resolved past wounds until the same frequency is experienced in the present by a new person or place or thing and pulls the scab off that was protecting it.  Since time isn’t linear you experience certain scenarios over and over and over again in your head until you learn from it and change the frequency. Once you start healing a certain core wound frequency you will experience less emotional turmoil when it shows up again. You could completely reverse the emotion, give the experience a new name and be free. That is growth and time travel that you can mindfully explore everyday if you like. 

When it feels like time is slowing down there is likely a retrograde transit in effect. We are (currently under three), it is a nudge from the universe to go within and work from there. Mercury slows down communication, travel and technology. It’s basically the transit everyone knows because it happens the most frequently. We hate it because it messes up our plans when we don’t slowdown. We as a collective are very impatient with the natural order of things, we have become so reliant on manmade linear time we no longer know how to appreciate life the way our ancestors did, we are encouraged to connect to the earth. So slow down when Mercury is in retrograde, if you are super exhausted it maybe that you are fighting against the flow. Then review your life choices between now and the last mercury retrograde? What needs revised? Rescheduled? Being in Cancer it will be bringing up conflict within family dealing with communication or travel or both. So it may ruin many annual family vacations, making us all extra pinchy. 

Neptune slows down 3D reality asking your inner psychic to come back inward, so you can dissolve the illusions you’ve been holding onto from the last Neptune retrograde. After you do this you will feel more confident when the time comes to putting action to plans. The friction you feel here is that Aries likes everything now and fast and Neptune is very slow, also Aries is about personal needs vs others needs. Our egos are struggling right now. 

Pluto IS the underworld, and the retrogrades are slow heavy six month transits. Mass Psychological reevaluations are on us all. Unearthing burdens deeply buried, he asks you to dig up those deepest layers so you can resurface transformed. Pluto being in Aquarius puts emphasis on collective authenticity, and a revision of our technology and communication through it, which is being slowed down even further because Mercury rules that. This will be the case six months of the year for many more years, not necessarily with Mercury Rx at the same time but many years in Aquarius. The song lyric I hear in many voices is, “I want to break free!” I’m sure it’s all Air signs singing 😆 

This is my free writing exercise, it was super fun. This concludes my post. I’ll end it with an old random memory of mine in picture form. 

This is a photo of my late Zita Bella, she passed in 2020. Today is here birthday so I always take a moment to look back at our time together on this day each year. 

Weekly Art discussion

Are you an Artist or not? You decide

The urge to create has always been part of who I am, I unlocked that part of me before I even went to elementary school. Currently the urge is at an all time high and has been getting stronger since about 2020. I believe everyone has the ability to create something they just have to find what that something is for them. When someone says “oh I can’t draw”, or “I can’t paint”, “I can’t insert” any other art avenue, I think in my head ‘bullshit copout’ because I know everyone excels in making something, but instead of that I say, “but did you try?” “Did you try more than once?”

Why do people give up before they start? Everyone must unlock the gift they are given to live a fulfilled life. I’m not going to say “I’m the best” at any certain thing, I understand practice is needed to enhance your innate gifts but I will never say or let anyone else tell me “I can’t” or “I’m not a real artist.” In my world that can’t exist because it is up to me, the creator.  I’m not an artist because someone told me I was, or have some piece of paper stating I spent 5yrs in some institution and went broke for it. Art is subjective so just because someone may dismiss you doesn’t mean it isn’t good or isn’t art, they just don’t get it, the next person who sees it may love it. So with that said, I’m an artist because I fucking said so, and it doesn’t change my mind by the opinion of others. If you say, “I’m not an artist,” enough it will program your brain into thinking it’s true, and once it’s true then you can’t, and if you can’t you won’t.  It works the other way too, always choose the positive self talk. 

It reminds me of that unresolved author quote, (not Einstein);

“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it’s stupid.” -unknown

I enjoy creating many different things and due to that, I’m very overwhelmed in writing this first post. I have already deleted multiple paragraphs today.  I could go on and on, so I’m just going to list some supplies and elaborate on them on future Wednesdays. I have so much to work on I’m literally never ever bored, especially during summer and winter, must be the sun codes. I have a mental filing cabinet of more things I want to work on but those ideas must take a number and stand in line. I’m all the time having visions and I think oh that’s a good idea, ooh and that, oh my god what? Yes! let me write it down for 2027. 

Supplies I love in no particular order for sketching and painting: Bristol board (fav!), Ink (ranger/sumi), micron liners (sakura/copiic), Copiic Ciao Markers, Chromatik watercolor pens, Arches Aquarelle Watercolor paper,  Alex’s Melnyk metal stencils, Gelli stamp, Derwent Chromaflow and Inktense colored pencils, Grabie acrylic pens, acrylic ink (pearlescent), peter pauper press sticker books and journals, Aleene’s jewelry and metal glue, clear coat gesso, sponges, blending sticks, colorless blending markers (Copiic/Prismacolour), spray fixative (gloss and matte), ink blending tools, brayers, brushes, craft scissors, glitter, micro precision blade for small detail cutting.  That is all I can think of tonight. 

About the picture above, the Penticorn. I made it up! Penti because I was able to fit five horns on it before running out of paper. Sometimes it’s deep and other times it’s just exactly what it says it is. I haven’t actually seen one but if I did, it would look just like that. 😆

New moon in Cancer

 

A graphic I made last year for Cancer New Moon

It is that time of year when the Cancer new Moon arrives where you come home to self. I usually am really quiet during the new moons of the year because it is a time to be going inward. Even more so with this one because Mercury is retrograde also in Cancer. The 4th house is the house of family ruled by Cancer which is (the Mother) and the Moon. Everything is compounding here with emotions, whatever you focus on is what you’ll get x 2, so try to be in a neutral to good mood. Do your normal moon rituals, lay out your intentions, avoid complicated conversations especially with family for next three days. It will most likely be misunderstood due to the retrograde and will be emotionally charged. So use clear easy to understand communication and spend time with yourself until the moon energy passes.  Try not to take anything negative too personal.

I’ll add my Instagram caption that goes with this graphic below 👇🏻 

Astrology lesson

Good afternoon. Today I thought it would be fun to add a little Astrology lesson. It is really good! If you enjoy this topic like me, you will learn a thing or two. Take in consideration it is a few years old (2021) so some of the current events hadn’t happened yet, but he is right on track. Feel free to discuss it with me in the comments if you’d like. This is the extent of my post. I’m busy with gathering up some things for the upcoming August Leo cosmic events, I am celebrating 🎉 , it’s my Leo rising node reset and draconic birthday as well (Leo sun). Enjoy the video.

Sunday is for self care

It is Sunday, and what do we do on Sundays? We make time for self care. If you know me on any other platform you know I always do a self care post on Sunday. I don’t remember how the name originated, and I am not the only one who uses the term. Basically I feel like self care is a way of life and I incorporate it everyday. However if your life is demanding and you have a lot of things going on and people in your energy it’s easy to neglect yourself when you have busy days that need outside focus.

Sunday is the day that I associate with starting the new week. Most people have more time on Sundays to relax, it should be your fun day.  It is a time to recharge, call all your energy back so you can start fresh on Monday.  Doing something you love from the heart is soul work and soul work resets everything inside and out. 

No it isn’t just a spa day or anything like that really, but it totally can be if that is what you need. It’s whatever it is you need to do to return to yourself before anyone asks more of you. Take care of your needs.

Starting with just you, back to center, grounded in your core frequency.   What is that thing for you, and what do you need to do to make it happen?  It could be an hour or a whole day depending on what you need.  

It could be that thing you really wanted to get into all week but didn’t because you were too busy.  If you’ve been running on empty for over a week it’s ok to take a whole day off. It’s better to pull back a little bit than burn yourself out and need a week off.  

You’ll want to do something that resets your energy in body and environment. That usually means to cleanse the space you are spending time in.  Open a window or run a fan to circulate the air in some way. Light some incense, a candle, or use a diffuser for essential oils are some ideas. If you cannot clean the space for some reason spend some time outside instead.  Get some wind chimes and listen to the wind songs and wildlife.  Put your phone down so you can be present.  A lot of the time that will be enough to reset your nervous system.  When you allow yourself to relax your true self emerges. You might come up with all kinds of creative ideas in one afternoon. 

Also self care doesn’t have to be productive, if you deprive yourself of sleep during the week, then a nap is self care. It is a vital part of being alive and functioning normally. 

Writing is one thing I do for self care which will be this post for me today.  I incorporate it everyday so it is just a part of my wellness routine. I also listen to music, meditate, read, create physical art, digital art, sketchbook, nail art sometimes, spend time with crystals, dog, plants, etc. I try to incorporate something new to do or try on Sunday, if can’t I’ll at least have a favorite thing so I have something to look forward to. For example I had a dirty Diet Pepsi today it’s just something I like, I know it’s not the healthiest but I figure it could be worse. After this I’m changing my manicure to a polish I haven’t worn so that’s two things. 

Also I play this fun little game where I think of a band that I’m sure I know every song to and then go try and find one I don’t know. Thats a weird game but hey I’m usually surprised to find one. I was up after midnight last night so I looked for a Journey song I never heard before. If you don’t know me, that was the band I listened to when the rest of my classmates were obsessed with the likes of nkotb and insert any equivalent repulsive pop band of the current year.  Maybe what I loathed more was the jokes about, “I love your brothers” or “tell your brothers hi!” 😑🙄 I don’t have brothers, just have the same last name as two of them. So, I couldn’t relate to others my age in a music way. 70’s rock was what I gravitated to until the 90’s and then I opened up more to other music. Listening to that teenage fan girl music to keep the peace made me feel physically ill and I always felt misplaced, like by at least decade. Anyways, somehow I did find an unknown to me Journey song, “It’s just the rain” on the Trial by Fire album. I recall not their most popular album, but I knew the other songs. It brought back a memory of sitting in my bedroom listening to cd’s I would’ve been in high school when it came out. I had that cd but I don’t anymore. I mostly remember staring at the strange art on the cover and learning the words from the little lyric sheets. I should get it again. I like the most popular songs but some of the more obscure ones are my favorites on Evolution and Infinity albums. Like “Daydream” “Too late”, and “Opened the door”. Ooh or “On a Saturday Night” on look into the Future!

I got a little carried away there…retrograding 😆

So what will you do today?
