I see you. I hear you. I feel you.
We are all connected.
Have you ever struggled with or are you struggling with self-love, self-care? You are not alone. I see you. I hear you. I feel you.
Last week, I started preparing to do a Facebook Live. I had my ideas written down and somehow I just couldn't find the words to complete it. So no Facebook Live last week. I'm happy to be back.
When we get caught up in our work, in our home life, in our relationships, in world events, it's easy to focus on what's wrong, to get caught up in fear-based negativity, in anger, depression... We can become overwhelmed and unsure of ourselves, our purpose. We may end up looking outside of ourselves for validation, approval, love, seeking fulfillment in unhealthy relationships, in trying to fill the emptiness deep within by turning to alcohol, drugs, or buying the next "shiny" thing that captures our eye. The problem is that none of that will satisfy the love and fulfillment that we seek.
Looking up gives us hope ... the stars, the planets, the galaxies ... inviting us to remember who we truly are, spiritual beings having a human experience, inviting us to see the Divine in each one of us
Looking up also reminds us that there is light in the darkness, and the darkness will not overcome it.
The stars and planets will always lead us, point us to the Creator of all life and love and will also direct us to look within; we have everything we need; we are enough; the Creator truly sees us and loves us exactly the way we are.
Astrology helps to remind me of this and continues to teach me more about the gift that I am. It also helps me to see beyond my difficulties, challenges, fears, doubts and to trust that all is as it should be. I am not alone. Spirit is with me, guiding me, directing me, loving me.
Looking within gives us wisdom, happiness, self-confidence, peace, truth.
Oracle cards have helped me to get in touch with my intuition, to listen to what Spirit and my Soul are trying to tell me, always reminding me that I am Divinely directed and Divinely protected.
Our struggles and challenges lead us to the Truth and help us to see ourselves as the beautiful beings that the Divine created us to be.
Last week, I shared on my Facebook page, a powerful Tapping meditation called "You Are More Than Enough" from Nick Ortner, hoping that you may find it beneficial. I posted about EFT Tapping. Emotional Freedom Techniques is a powerful holistic healing technique that has been proven to effectively resolve a range of issues, including stress, anxiety, phobias, emotional disorders, chronic pain, addiction, weight control, and limiting beliefs, just to name a few.
Tapping therapy is based on the combined principles of ancient Chinese acupressure and modern psychology. Tapping with the fingertips on specific meridian endpoints of the body, while focusing on negative emotions or physical sensations, helps to calm the nervous system, rewire the brain to respond in healthier ways, and restore the body’s balance of energy.
It may look or feel "funny" at first, that's what I used to feel and think, but if you give it a try, you may find it helpful. Many others have.
And last week I went to see Amy Schumer in "I Feel Pretty". It's about an ordinary woman who struggles with feelings of insecurity and inadequacy on a daily basis and wakes from a fall believing she is suddenly the most beautiful and capable woman on the planet. With this newfound confidence she is empowered to live her life fearlessly and flawlessly, but what will happen when she realizes her appearance never changed? It's a movie that inspires hope and truth in the beauty of who we truly are.
Many of us struggle with feelings of insecurity and inadequacy.
May we have the confidence to live our lives fearlessly with joy and love, trust and faith, and to truly see the Divine within ourselves, celebrating that every day of our lives.
This may be the perfect time to feel those long-buried feelings of insecurity and inadequacy, allowing them to come to the surface, and let them go.
Here's why...

Full Moons reveal all that is hidden, and bring to light all the emotions and intuitive awareness that is buried deep within us. Scorpio is a sign that is inherently psychic and yet tends to keep things hidden and beneath the surface. This Full Moon in Scorpio invites us to dig deep, to go within, to listen to our heart and soul, to feel the feelings we may have been ignoring, the thoughts that we have been pushing aside.
The Full Moon in Scorpio is a time of soul-searching, introspection, intuition, and transformation. If you feel uncomfortable about something, you most likely have intuition that you have been ignoring. Pay attention! The answers are always within you!
Don't be afraid! Have courage!
Using Colette Baron-Reid's "Wisdom of the Oracle" card deck, I asked...
"What do we need to know about this Full Moon in Scorpio for our highest good?"
and was gifted with...
#52 Mending
"Essential meanings: Forgiveness; making amends; healing after arguments.
The Oracle's message: Each time we are hurt and allow the hurt to pass through us without understanding and integration, we accumulate an unwanted burden. This keeps us chained to the very things we need to heal: the pain, the memories, the echoes of resentments, and the arguments that we rehearse over and over. Now is the time for mending rifts, healing wounds, and letting go of the old hurts in order to reclaim your power. Now is the time to forgive, to release, to make peace, and to make amends to others. Set yourself free."
Now is indeed the time. The answers are always within us. It's time to set ourselves free. We are enough!
Remember the suffering of one of us is the suffering of all of us. We are all one family. To those who suffer in any way today, we feel you. We pray for you. We send you strength, hope and love.
So, my friends, that's it for tonight.
