So my intention with this reading was to find the answers to the questions I asked in the intro and I’ve done some reflecting on this myself. But what I am finding here is that there are a few choices that need making, especially because we’re at a gateway between our comfort zones and the world past that. Do we stay or do we go? Do we heed the call or remain ignorant to the work needing to be done? There’s some indication that we might be stuck in childish immaturity and there is a need to move toward something that will improve our goals Perhaps moving toward the things that will reconnect us to our abundance, balance, and what brings us satisfaction will give us a sense of direction and the ability to see the rewards of that. Look, it’s natural to want to feel safe. We all get hurt after all. But if you have been in a period of this kind of pain, it’s dead and gone. It’s time to sweep it aside and let it go so you can follow your True North, wherever that might lead you. Ask for help if you need it and know that loving energy is around you. It’s time you trust that you can access that energy whenever you need it.
