I have received several messages that the 8/8/23 Lion’s Gate Portal brought to a close an 8-year era for me that began in 2015. It’s been SO FUN to hear several of you respond that this 8-year era ending also resonates for you. Thanks for sharing with me!
The 2015 messages haven’t stopped. After I sent you my Monday newsletter I opened my email and clicked on a newsletter from one of my beautiful friends. The first line was…yup, you guessed it: “…in 2015”…I kid you not!
Then I walked upstairs and was telling James about all of my 2015 messages. 5 minutes later he came into my room with his computer and said “WATCH THIS!”. It was a music theory video he was watching that was dissecting Adele’s song “Hello”, from…you guessed it again…2015!
I’ve listened to Hello several times in the past few days. It feels like a conversation between my past and future selves. Plus…ADELE! THAT VOICE! That voice alone is pure magic. She could sing about dog hair and I’d be moved.
Back to past and future selves…
When I connected in meditation this morning it came to me how much appreciation I have for my past self – that Warrior who navigated the last 8 years. I’m so thankful for her ferocity and tenacity, for her curiosity, her exploration, for her allowing, her willingness to expand. She was a bad ass. I’m thankful that she wielded the swords when necessary, and that she curled in child’s pose to rest and receive when necessary.
She had a lot on her plate. She was far from perfect. But she stepped up and did the things.
I could have never predicted what my last 8 years would have brought. And I would have never signed up for it…well, I guess my soul signed up for it, huh? ;-). She’s so brave, my Soul, my Higher Self. And crazy! That girl/not a girl (reference from The Good Place show, which I highly recommend!) is so crazy!
So as I bring this era to a close, I’m exploring my intentions for my next era, also with the awareness that who the heck knows what it will bring! As the tarot card for my next era says: “Life is never predictable.” But I do want to put some intention into how I’m showing up, and who I want to be, whether I’m summiting a mountain or trudging through a valley or crossing a raging river.
Here are the questions I’m exploring:
In this next era, what do I want to leave behind?
What stories from past eras are now stale and lifeless?
What new stories do I want to create?
Who do I want to be? How do I want to show up?
And I’ll close with this share – an IG post from Dr Deborah Quibell:
You don’t have to have the answers. You just have to have the courage to ask the questions.
You don’t have to know the outcome. You just have to have the courage to consider all possibilities.
You don’t have to have clarity. You just have to have the courage to listen to what you already know (and are perhaps ignoring).
You don’t have to know the path. You just have to have the courage to listen and figure out the next step.
If you’d like help exploring and creating your next era, this is exactly the kind of thing I do in my 1:1 Evolution Package! You can schedule a discovery call to talk about what you want and what our work together might look like for you.
