Jamie is singing my heart's song with today's Wishcasting A song it was singing well before my daughter left Now with more urgency I'm feeling stretched thin As Bilbo Baggins said in the Fellowship of the Ring movie "like butter scraped over too much bread" So I wish to just take a break and give myself some space Space to commune with Goddess Space to receive guidance on what's to come next  Space for magic and miracles
Space to really enjoy being with my son Space to play and wiggle our toes in the sand  My dog thinks I'm the most amazing person she knows. If I leave the room, she comes to see what miracles I'm preforming. She waits patiently for me to give her a bit of attention. She drapes herself around my shoulders and sighs with contentment whenever I sit down to knit. She sits at my feet as I spend seemingly endless hours online She dances with delight every time I return from a long or short trip. Even when I make mistakes Even when I'm not kind to others Even when I'm not gentle with myself She loves me unconditionally and thinks I hang the moon. If I'm the kind of person my dog thinks I am That means I'm an incredible, marvelous person capable of wonderful, outstanding things. If that's true, why is it so hard to believe that of myself? Could it be my self love reserves are running low? Self love can be a very confusing concept to grasp as people
often feel conflicted between it and egotism. I don't want to be thought of as egotistic So I minimize my accomplishments. I deflect complements or deny them all together I put myself in a victim state A state that weakens me and disconnects me from Goddess (God/Great Spirit/ Source) I know people who constantly talk about themselves. I'm sure you know them too. What I've learned working with Aphrodite on self love is that person that who talks about herself constantly isn't filled with self love. That person is trying to fill herself looking to outside resources. That person is saying no one else cares about me and there isn't enough love in the world. That person probably believes she will never have the love she needs I didn't want to be that person So I worked at it and came to realize self love truly is a gift that honors me and my spiritual source. And by honoring myself, I learned to honor the uniqueness of others and my connection to them. But it's not a one time thing. I continually work with Aphrodite and practice honoring myself with the gift of self love. Honoring myself for who I am right now in all of my imperfect perfection. And believe I truly am the kind of person My dog thinks I am Will you join me dear one? I put my daughter on a plane today for her foreign exchange trip to Japan. Her first solo adventure. I'm feeling very introspective about the whole thing My baby is starting to fly (literally and figuratively) on her own It's been her and me going places, sharing experiences for 18 years I've given her everything I could think of for her trip Everything I could find to add to her medicine bag Everything that worked for me Gave her space to figure out what works best for her And asked Goddess to give her the rest Encouraged her to let go of what didn't serve her While watching with pride as she grew  My Daughter Josephine Now she's off to see the world
Unfolding her amazing wings And sharing her beauty with the world May Isis wrap her wings around you my daughter And guide you as you begin this new life journey. Today is the day I offer you some of my favorite music that feeds my spirit and fills my soul. Soul Food. I hope it feeds your spirit too. |
