Got my place and time, sunset at one of the quieter bays of Lake Ontario nearby. Just hoping the weather works with me.

No doubts as to what has to change for me, and thanks for reminding us it doesn't have to happen all at once. Any progress no matter how small is a step toward the summit. For us who don't do well with pressure, that's reassuring.

I have been getting little views of who i can be, like the sun breaking through storm clouds. A sense of expanded joy. It's amazing, freeing, exciting!

Lately memories of youth pop up unbidden but I feel like I'm actually back there in that moment. Today a memory of accompanying a friend to an unfamiliar part of town. She then was heading home, but I was gazing down the street and feeling a strong sense of wanting to explore on my own. I regretfully didn't though, probably because I was hungry or some banal thing, but being there this time I'm saying GO! Follow that pull that I know now was coming from higher self. Maybe I would have met someone who would been a positive influence for me, maybe they would have fed me too lol. Maybe nothing would have happened except the deeper connection I would have created by trusting and going with the flow. More confidence in myself. And realizing now that I've always been an explorer. So I will honour this part of me, get some freewheeling going now I'm not smothered by weed smoke. Can't wait to share my experiences.

In terms of archetypes, I've been working with AA Michael over the last few years, and when I think of him I feel the urge to join him in righteous battle. A part of me has always felt this urge. And as for power animals, for the last month or so, I've been seeing the stag everywhere. He embodies many traits I wish to embody myself, especially knowing how to hide in plain site, not calling attention to myself but being keenly observant, using all senses to always be relaxed yet alert. Strong but gentle. Connected to higher self with the antlers, which are also his boundaries and defence. Forest dweller; one of my favorite places.

Thanks for this inspiration!🙏🤍✨
