I pulled my cards this morning and they were: The universe powerfully responds the instant I realign with love, Thank you universe for helping me see beyond the limits of fear, thank you for expanding my perception so I can see the highest good, when I move my body I feel empowered, cleansed, and strong.  I said this in response:  Align with love and clear fear to see the highest good.  We move our bodies to clear that fog and find how we want to feel and suddenly the fear is erased and we understand what we are meant to do, who we are meant to be. Love and movement is power.  The Earth, the universe do not stand still.  While we find balance in the quiet and stillness, it is in finding our rhythm that we become who we are.  Ther is no fear in that wholeness.  How can we love a bit more today?  How can we find more joy?  Respond to the rhythm of our heart.

The irony that this happened on the same day that I was writing about Green Lights in a moment of inspiration about movement (and I have a full piece on Green Lights from a couple of years ago) that these cards pop up and talks of movement and following our hearts.  I took it as a sign to move and follow my desire and creativity.  I then listened to one of the tarots and he spoke of Green and Gold—the heart and solar plexus and moving forward and following our inner light.  The next tarot spoke of serendipity and seeing the highest good.  All of these things intertwined on the same day making it clear that this was the message meant for me. 

I share this because the universe often has messages and I stopped believing that for a while as recently as three weeks ago.  My mind was/is exhausted from an entire summer spent in limbo with so many things happening at once and some not happening at all.  Not getting a job with a huge opportunity to secure us a bit more, my father blessedly coming through his procedure, then so unexpectedly losing my soul cat.  I saw no reason for any of this.  The truth is I still don’t see a reason for it and I still ache every day wishing I could change those losses.  I wouldn’t give up the wins, and I know we can’t win them all, but this summer had some tough new realities and changes.  But here we are, the summer almost over, and now I see these reminders that there are still signs.  There are still messages.  There is still life to live—even if it looks and feels different.  Sometimes it isn’t how we thought it would be—but there is always more.  So I pause as the world keeps spinning and I wait for my next green light and realign with the love that is still here.  It never left.
