Progress

Charge forward. Be willing to make mistakes.

A number eight day demands that we consider ourselves as powerful and prosperous. Be the executive of your life and affairs. You are connecting at all times to the Universal Intelligence. With the Universe as my partner, I go from success to success. We are the benevolent and director of the Kingdom we’ve created.

The Moon in Taurus supports this numerological theme. Taureans are practical and determined – they can also be focused and goal oriented. With each moon phase we tend to pick up on these qualities and attributes – so consider your goals – re-evaluate and see how you are tracking.

My subconscious choices reveal a theme of movement. Actually, the first card, the Wheel of Fortune has a theme park essence. Prizes are won or lost on the spin of this wheel. Progress may come with two steps forward and one backwards. Ultimately, however there is progress.

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you continuously knock your head against a brick wall? You know that you are not making any real progress and yet you (for whatever reason) maintain the status quo and keep up this behaviour. And then a tiny crack appears and a little peep hole – you look through the hole and you can see a bright shinny light and then you say to yourself – well, that wasn’t so difficult after all, now was it?

The High Priestess coaxes us through the dark times. She knows the power of positive thought and recognises the crevice of hope. Don’t be afraid to embrace your dark side – allow the fear and foibles to surfaces – just don’t wallow in the misery for too long. No one likes a whiner!

The Sun glows with all the promises of a sunrise. This is your day – make the most of it – don’t waste a minute. Your life will slip away in an instant. I am forever wishing for the glory of now! What about you?

Life is so short. We seem to waste the seconds and minutes with useless fears and regrets. File them away in a folder of miscellaneous human experiences and bask in the beauty of the moment.

Speaking of the future I am off this week at a conference and won’t be posting any new journal entries. Feel free to delve into the archives and reconnect with the lessons of the past.

See you next week. Before I go here is a poem I wrote when I was seriously over weight. I began the healthy lifestyle commitment with recognising the beauty within and accepting me for who I was. I still love this poem as it reminds me of the power of self love. I hope you like it too!

The Perfect Vehicle for my Soul

I stare and glare at the vision before me. No, not a model or an exquisite sight with hips and thighs just right
The body is soft and round my chins double up and I frown. My smile is honest and my smile wide I am looking at the perfect vehicle for my soul. This vehicle could use some modification, I guess. There are some imperfections that could be gently modified.
However, I would if I could, Hmmmm, I just hesitate! Oh! Maybe I should! Then it would not be a perfect vehicle for my soul. I sigh a while and am gratified with this naked vision splendor before me. Maybe a diet?
I am sure if I try it.
Will it work?
No doubt! I throw back my head and I shout. I like what I see, it is incredible to be Well after all it’s never let me down To get me around, This incredible vehicle for my soul
I gently caress and feel the bliss of my touch on my lips. I slide down to my hips. Well maybe an inch or two to graft and to craft The perfect symbol of woman
To the knees – Oh! Please! Not now, I couldn’t imagine or wouldn’t Envisage a better vehicle for my soul. My mind wonders and I linger longer At the vision staring back at me The comments, the slights on many a restless night
I have tossed and I have turned From venom that has been spurned Rejected from words that don’t belong
To the perfect vehicle for my soul My soul is pure I know this much to be true My heart is strong and I know that I belong. To feel alive, to live and to thrive To celebrate before it is too late The incredible sight on this very night The perfect vehicle for my soul
Visual images display how we should look today. I sigh and I laugh – tee hee, ha ha – no way! For you and me and I am sure that you will agree This is not me and could never be! For we all know we have a long way to go And confidence is truth And to be certain THAT these body’s is the most Wondrous vehicle for our soul!
