If you caught November’s Blog you know that the Universe delivered a heck of a message to me on November 1st. You know that I’ve been working on not only being authentic, but showing my 100% authentic self. That is not easy, especially when you are worried about being judged, or trying to live up to someone else’s expectations. I said I wasn’t going to do that anymore. And then I did, a little. So…queue a fall down the stairs and the harsh reality that I wasn’t quite hitting the mark (well, maybe I hit the mark with my face…). So, I did it, I put myself out there. I received some really nice feedback, thank you!
You might also remember, there was something else that I am also working on. LOVE. Giving freely and receiving graciously. I don’t know about you but I do ‘OK’ with giving, but I’m crap at receiving love. I just don’t feel worthy of someone else spending their time or money on me. I don’t really take in compliments as truth, I sort of brush them off. So, in true Universe fashion, she delivered another lesson, can you hear her? “the eye socket break wasn’t enough for you to learn both lessons? Fine. How about a shattered eye socket that requires an awful surgery and recovery?? That should do it.” Yep, that’s what I got.
I spent 2 days in the hospital with lots of meds to control the pain, being helped to the restroom, being completely taken care of. To come home, not able to see very well, not able to walk steadily, let alone drive or work, or even get my own food. Just writing this maybe points to the next bit of work needed: my fierce need for independence! 😁 BUT, the outpouring of love has been unexpected. The offers of help, the dinners delivered, the rides to appointments, the cleaning, the company, and those that generously picked up my work in my absence….I am grateful for every little bit of it. 💗
So, I bring you December’s lesson: What’s Love Got to Do With It. Please learn from my experience!!
Reminders:
You already know that loving yourself is a requirement, it is not selfish. You know that you need to be a priority so that you are filling your cup in order to serve others.
You already know that confidence is the ultimate accessory for every outfit. You have to strut your stuff in order for the world to see your sparkle.
You already know that your quirks, imperfections, the things that you want to change are the things that make you uniquely beautiful. Am I the only one that snorts when I laugh?? Embrace those unique qualities, they are what make you different and cause others to love you more…ok maybe not the snorting.
You already know that having a strong, supportive group of women who cheer you on when you are up or down makes all the difference. Love your squad and accept it in return.
You already know that you shouldn’t take yourself too seriously. That you need to laugh often, and love always.
But now maybe you need to learn:
1. Receive Love: You're a Queen, Accept Your Crown
Guess what? You deserve it! Just as you should be giving love to yourself, allow others the pleasure of expressing their admiration for you. Maybe it’s a compliment, maybe it’s a small gift, maybe it’s a hug. It is for you. Accept it, believe it.
2. Vulnerability is Strength, Not Weakness
Opening up to receive love requires a bit of vulnerability. (Que my independence streak and this is hard!). But remember, it's not about being weak; it's about being real. Letting people into your world allows for deeper connections and the kind of love that can lift you higher. So, let those walls down, and let the love flow in.
3. Kindness: The Love Language We All Speak
Acts of kindness are like little love notes from the universe. Whether it's a friend surprising you with your favorite coffee or a stranger holding the door open, kindness is a universal language that speaks to the heart. And remember, it's perfectly okay to bask in the warmth of these gestures; they're proof that love is all around you.
4. Celebrate Your Successes, Big and Small
When someone showers you with praise or acknowledges your achievements, accept it graciously. You're a queen, and every queen deserves her moment in the spotlight. Whether it's a promotion at work or successfully navigating a flight of stairs without breaking your face… celebrate your successes with the grace and style of royalty.
5. Love Begets Love: Pay It Forward
Just as you graciously receive love, spread it like glitter on the dance floor. Share compliments, offer a helping hand, or simply be a listening ear. The more love you give, the more you receive. It's a beautiful cycle that turns the world into a brighter, more loving place.
So, my queens, it turns out that receiving love is not only allowed, but it's also an essential part of your empowerment journey. Embrace the compliments, let the kindness in, and remember that you are deserving of all the love that comes your way. And then give just as good as you get with grace and dignity. You’ll become a magnet for the love we all deserve.👑💖
Oracle Card for December: Blessing the Journey
Angelic Lightwork Healing Oracle Cards by Alana Fairchild.
This card hits home given the topic for the month!
“A journey changes you and can have profound benefits. It may provide you with healing, refreshment, and understanding to resolve problems that couldn’t be overcome with a narrower frame of reference. Every journey has inherent challenges. Part of the adventure is leaving behind security and certainty of familiar terrain and ways of being. The oracle encourages you on your journey and supports you in overcoming any fear around the unknown so you may evolve through the adventure and learning that awaits you.”
Healing, Magic, and Manifestation with Archangel Uriel
Close your eyes, breath deeply, and drop into a peaceful, loving connection with your heart. Say aloud: ‘Archangel Uriel, I gratefully acknowledge the abundance, prosperity, manifestation, and countless blessings that you bring for the highest good of all. I am ready and willing to receive your healing and guidance to fulfill my purpose for the good of all. So it be.’
