Mercury is Direct ~ Equinox Ahead ~ Monday Morning/Weekly Check-In Thread
How are you?
Dang!
The last couple of months have really been something, bringing to my life and attention so much good and then some of my biggest worries and fears. I’ve had to force myself at times to continue to revel in the good and not let the fear take me down without bypassing anything that needed to be felt and dealt with.
I gotta say, I think I have done pretty well. The fight meter in our home barely registered a three. A few years ago, we would probably have been at a ten.
When my anxiety gets high, I start yelling. Jon’ll jump right in if triggered. Vice versa is true as well. I once made him leave the house prior to installing a new modem for our cable internet. We’ve learned the tough way that we can not do most technological things together without a battle. I’ll tell you all about the Great Remote Control Fight of 2002 some other time.
He did have to fix a hard drive issue on my computer. Again. And there was barely a tiff. I guess we’re growing. Not tempting fate here, however, so it may have been a one-off, and I don’t need any more opportunities soon to put this to the test, thank you very much to whoever is listening and runs this dumb show. I know, it’s all of us collectively, but sometimes I still like to pretend there is some ultimate power in charge, gives me someone/thing to blame. And, of course, I don’t really know, because there are things that are unknowable to us at this moment from our perspective, so just on the off chance that I am wrong and there is some ultimate power, I am not in the mood for any tests at the moment, and could you hurry on up and give us all a bit or a lot more help here?
I am going to spend the week cleaning up and clearing out in preparation for the lovely balancing energies of the Equinox.
We have our annual Equinox event on Thursday on Zoom.
We’ll also be having a Reiki Share on Saturday on Zoom for anyone attuned to Reiki I and above.
Details for both are here on my site
How are you today as we start to move into the regularity of both Venus and Mercury direct? Please leave me a comment and let me know.
I am responding from the inside of a plane just before takeoff. My parents and I are headed for two weeks in Croatia, ending in Venice. I’m very excited and a bit apprehensive - we haven’t done a family trip since I was little. Doing my best to stay grounded, flow as much as possible, take things in stride, process emotions as they come up, and also focus on all the good right now.
I’m approaching this as a true journey and my intention is to grow in my capacity for ease, play, and vulnerable joy while with them. And to embody even more of my authentic adult self in how I show up in the world. Sending you all love 💕
If I could describe in one word the last couple of months for myself it would be change. Radical change. It all happened so fast there wasn't time for much review. And most of it is all good, yet there have been so many fears and big triggering moments thrown in as well. The second theme after change is healing. Radical, fast healing, which is beautiful yet again not without a lot of inner work and challenges.
Now today I started new work and later this week I meet with someone about marketing my business. Yes, the financial situation could be very scary right now with a lot of uncertainty in my situation. Yet I feel optimistic and hopeful that I'll get through all this for the better. This level of faith and trust and joy is new to me, especially living this close to the edge. I understand the "my anxiety goes up, so does the yelling" part. And it's so cool to see this - not disappear altogether- but to notice something has altered over the past few years and is gaining traction more recently.
