I AM graduating!

This upcoming Friday feels like a graduation of sorts for me.....and whenever I write about this portion of my journey, I am careful about how I express it, and I take into consideration that it may not be understood by everybody, and that is OK:) I understand that fully........we all come from our own perspective and experience.......Having said that though, I am fiercely committed to this journey, and using my blog to chronicle my journey as authentically as I can.....so......this is a part of it:) In 2018 an energetic shift occurred in my sign of Taurus.....Uranus entered my sign, and as that occurred I found out about my ex and his affair for the first time......creating a chain reaction of events and evolution.....and it has stayed in my sign these past 7 years, fixing to leave on Friday......moving to Gemini......and I am not sure anybody that has known me before then can argue that my life has radically changed in the last 7 years, in every way.......and here is the thing.....when I think of how much change and evolution has occurred within myself, and my life since then, it feels like a lifetime....truly......and it is considered the 'Great Awakener", bringing that energy to a person's life or circumstance....and well.....it certainly "awakened" my life in so many ways.....and while it has been a crazy ride since then, it has been a blessed one.....destroying and shaking the old to create the new.....and sometimes the foundations of our lives need to be leveled.....or dismantled......to make way for what is on the other side of that, I have come to believe that.....And in 2018 I was not a believer in Astrology.....I was a spiritual human, a God human, a Jesus person.....and have still remained all of those things....but my understanding, and again it is just mine.......has shifted and encompassed so many more things.....and so much of what I have learned, and seen has supported this shift for me, and brought me a great deal of peace and understanding along the way.....and so in that spirit I would be remiss if I did not honor the last 7 years of my life.....being tested over and over....needing to lean into change......A Taurus's LEAST favorite thing to do I might add lol:) Taurus humans seek steady.....and comfortable ways.....predictable ways.....but I have learned to shift my true nature, to journey through this and adapt to my new life with a willingness of spirit.....facing what has come, to the best of my ability, and acclimating and adapting to all of the change.....and the amount of changes, and areas of my life that have been touched by this energetic shift is countless......truly....7 years of a gauntlet in a lot of ways, but also infinitely blessed....very yin and yang for sure.....so for me it feels really exciting as I approach Friday.....and realizing that I am bidding farewell to this particular energy, and with appreciation in my heart......and had I known beforehand all I would have faced, I would have feared the power of the shake up I experienced.....no question, but I now know not to be afraid.... at all.......I know now to just face whatever comes our way, and feel it, and use it to move us to whatever is next......using the energy as well as we can.....the highest expression of it, whenever possible:) And I fully understand this may seem hokey or woo woo to some people, and I really am OK with that....that just means it isn't for them at this point in time, or maybe never.....I believe fully that we need to move through our life in places that resonate......and particularly as it relates to our spirituality....that is the beauty of it all.....having your soul find the place, or places that fit.....having it live inside of you in a way that speaks to your soul.......so all of the people and places I have met in the last 7 years have formed more of my spiritual journey.....awakening that too if you will:) I have been on a spiritual awakened journey the last 7 years, of that I have no doubt.....it has felt like an Odyssey to make sense of all that has happened in my life....and despite the shift on Friday, that Odyssey will continue.....taking in new energy that will move me to new places, people, things, all of it.....and it has become wildly exciting.....it brings tears to my eyes to think of how my life has OPENED up......becoming so much bigger and brighter than I had ever imagined for myself.....touching into magical places.....places I did not know existed for myself and my children....and now here we are, getting to LIVE THIS life......borne through fire some, and heartache, gosh so much heartache and pain.......but there is always a price for the rest....always......and so.....I plan on honoring this journey so far on Friday in some way....feeling grateful for the transit I just lived through, one that brought THE biggest challenges I have ever faced on a personal level, but also THE biggest blessings.....and anytime I think about the life I am living now and the peace and ease that lives within me, it makes me emotional......sitting in my chair this morning.....looking outside, listening to music....sipping coffee.....heading into meditation and exercise.....and feeling more like me than I ever have....having the privilege to write each day, and have a loyal band of folks that reads:) So I hope this was understood some, even if it doesn't resonate in your own life.....but I felt very drawn to express this, as this week is upon us:) Friday won't come bearing a cap and gown, no graduation ceremony in a traditional sense....but to me it feels like graduating law school or as a doctor or something along those lines;-) And being able to survive it all, and thrive amid the challenges feels pretty special:) The school of life continues...challenges......lessons......and gosh so many blessings, on repeat:) Happy Tuesday!:)
