Awakening to your spiritual journey? How much time do you have? I’m giggling because it’s one of my favorite topics, but I’ll keep it short. So, for me, I can laugh now and say that my spirit guides, my higher self, were like, “Girl, enough is enough. Let’s get this party started!”
What usually kickstarts an awakening can be a number of things like major life changes, the loss of a loved one, etc. It’s very personal because it’s your journey and yours alone, pushing you into questioning your purpose, your why, your choices... How do you know? Your intuition, for one. It’s like someone just flips a switch, and that inner voice starts shouting from the rooftops to trust your instincts and somehow you’re now tuned into a different frequency. You start experiencing synchronicities and wanting to connect with a higher purpose, and that’s just the beginning. My spirit guides shared a message that I’ve kept with me for years: “Your awakening, my love, does not come but once. This is the path of many roads, many mountains. What you seek has never been lost, but the length of your journey to discover this, my dear, is completely up to you.
Turning License Plates into 2024 Goals & Intentions
I can’t help but see signs in everything that passes my line of sight, especially if it is something out of the ordinary. This morning, on my drive home from visiting my daughter, I saw an out-of-state license plate that passed me with an abbreviation for the word "consistency," and I thought, “Are you trying to tell me something, spirit?” Laughing out loud as I plan my 2024 intentions, trying not to act like they’re goals, ha-ha, but they truly are, and if I’m being honest with myself, I’m grateful for them because life should never remain stagnant or be a repeat year of the same old, same old. I find within myself not knowing how I’m going to push myself this upcoming year—whether spiritually, mentally, or physically. It can get daunting, don’t you think?
As I reflect on the sign and the notion of consistency, I recognize the importance of incorporating this principle into the year ahead. My guides often speak in terms of small moves and baby steps, emphasizing that, regardless of how tiny, one's movement forward is progress. I believe we often place undue pressure on ourselves to achieve lofty goals within a short timeframe, when, in reality, it's about the journey, not the speed in which we get there.
So, on this lovely night of a full moon, December 26th, 2023, I’m going to work on my small yet achievable goals toward my grand wishes and desires without judgment or pressure, just pure love for the journey and excitement about any new adventures that come my way in the next 12 months ahead.
Wishing you all a most beautiful and wondrous New Year filled with small, meaningful steps toward your dreams.

Paving the way
Sometimes, the universe's most precious gift is when there are no obvious signs. As we navigate through life, it's important for us to learn to trust our inner compass, our intuition. It often means embracing uncertainty and stepping outside our comfort zones. Believe that within you, you have the power to build a solid foundation for designing your own path, knowing that you are supported and loved along the way. Have faith in your abilities to take bold steps forward, even when things feel unfamiliar or challenging. Remember, your future self believes in you to take the first steps, no matter how small. There is only one way to find out if it'll work, and that is to try.
