And just like that...

I'm changing this blog, my mind, my projects, my business... again.

I’m once again here (on the internet) to tell you that I am changing.

I couldn’t tell you how many times I’ve announced that “I feel a change coming on” on the internet.

Actually, I can count three significant announcements before this one….

So… take trip down changing lanes with me 💁‍♀️
(feat. scenes from the #inspo behind the title)

Change #1 – 2018 – age 25, personal 3 year

I was healing a broken heart while enjoying a new, more free and expressive self.

I threw myself into freelancing work as a social media creative while I deepened my studies in NLP and became a Master Practitioner.

This gave me the resources (and confidence) to begin offering one off tarot reading and NLP based healing sessions… The first iteration of my business.

I started talking about my inner workings and the work I offered on Instagram stories and connected with some truly incredible humans (whom I’m blessed to have met IRL now, and some collaborated with).

The beginning of my sacred cyber space community.

This was a step up to a more aligned path.

. . .

Change #2 – late 2019-2020 – age 26-27, personal 4-5 year

I intuitively agreed to teach a casual class at the fashion college I casually did socials for, and there I felt the teacher archetype rise.

Still I wasn’t fully sure of what the steps I was taking meant in the beginning…

So I invested a lot of time and money into studying – including the basis of the Fourth Way philosophy from the teacher FKA Everest Asher, now Mami Onami. A system I have not stopped self-studying since.

Then during the lockdowns, the universe locked in the learnings I completed at that point in time by gifting me with more opportunities to teach, write a cookbook, live by the beach and fall in love.

This lead to stepping deeper into exploring and embracing all the different parts of my Self – the teacher, the human, the mystic – refining the direction of my path.

…

Change #3 – 2021 – age 28, personal 6 year

I began to let go of the trade that helped my survive through my adulthood – marketing for capitalists and began the ongoing thesis in the future of promotion* and service.

This gave me the time and space (mentally) to focus on creating through my Self and for my community. I produced a book (the one mentioned above)… one-on-ones…an online course on purposeful personal branding…

I expanded all that I’d worked on over the decade since I moved out of home.

Side note: I also moved in with a man for the first time in my life. And boy, did life change! #iykyk (In a wonderful way, but not without challenge 🤷‍♀️)

This lead to adding more dimensions to my path… or rather, unlocking more dimensions within me.

But then my imposter syndrome whispers….

Does that make me the girl who cried change?

Does that make me come off a bit… aimless?

How can I possibly say “I’m changing” so often?

Where’s the consistency?

After plenty of practice in change, I have an answer for that.

I’m consistently changing.

Nature is always changing – just as we do.

Waves lap at the shore, leaving subtle marks in the sand.

With every wave, every caress of the wind, every man and child that walks and runs, the beach is forever changed.

No two minutes at the beach is physically the same.
The sand moves, the waves crash, water brings and takes away gifts from the ocean...

These are changes that occur not with conscious thought of each grain of sand or gust of wind, but unconscious changes that reflect the inner workings of this planet and the cosmos.

If our unconscious mind is the beach then the external world is the ocean and the wind. Every moment, we are taking in millions of pieces of information unconsciously, and like a wave, is subtly (or significantly) changing the landscape of your unconscious mind.

You cannot stop these changes from happening.

"Come gather 'round people wherever you roam
And admit that the waters around you have grown
And accept it that soon you'll be drenched to the bone

If your time to you is worth savin' then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'"

– Bob Dylan, The Times are a Changin'

So if a change is gonna come no matter what, and there is nothing we can do to stop life from happening the way it does, then what can we do?

It's right there in Bob Dylan's words.

"Admit that the waters around you have grown" – AWARENESS
"Accept it that soon you'll be drenched to the bone" – ACCEPTANCE
"If your time to you is worth savin' then you better start swimmin'" – ACTION

We can take response-ability. We can become aware of the difficulty, accept it wholly, believe in its highest intention and take action that is aligned.

Whether you admit it or not, the waters have grown and that's a fact.

Whether you accept it or not you'll soon be drenched to the bone, again that's a fact.

Whether you believe your time is worth saving or not, if you don't take responsibility for yourself and swim, you will sink, and that is the truth of the matter.

– excerpt from the chapter ‘A Change is Coming’ from my practical workbook, The Mind Magick Manual.

I can promise you, I’ll change again – but perhaps, this will be my last grandeur announcement.

I have changed.

And I no longer need to validate or justify my ever-changing Self externally.

So no matter how much I’ve changed, I am guided by the most divine part of me – that voice that guides us, our intuition – the higher Self.

It just… is.

I just am…

And so it is…
