This is the in-between where anything is possible, and there is often a bit of time when you must wait for approval or make revisions to what you thought was complete.</p><p>Use this time to rest up and possibly do a little catch-up on something you&#8217;ve had on the back burner for a while, especially if it requires little to no thought, so that you may lightly ponder what you just finished and what comes next. Let yourself visualize the possibilities ahead of you and give them a grand design!</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

run it past who you are now, rather than who you were months or years ago. Sometimes we hold and chase a vision that no longer fits who we have become.</p><p>If you have a few options before you and are struggling to make a decision, it may help for you to know that there is no wrong choice - otherwise, choosing would not be so difficult.</p><p>Any choice you make will have its positives and negatives, so it may be helpful to make a &#8220;pros and cons&#8221; list or see what the people who know and understand think about it. Prioritizing your projects and to-do items may be helpful as well. I often use my cards to give me an overview of each choice, and sometimes I just roll a die or something similar to let chance decide for me.</p><p>It&#8217;s also possible that your next project or cycle will only be determined through experimentation. You can study up on a thing until the cows come home, but sometimes you just have to try a few things to see what feels best.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link

a cycle will be quite helpful. The wheel is always turning - periods of low will always be followed by a high, and vice versa. Knowing this may help you to see the light at the end of the tunnel or prepare for the next low.</p><p>Don&#8217;t try to fight the inevitable - learn to flow with your energy instead. This may look like extra sleep or blowing off a little steam with your friends. If you&#8217;re dealing with depression or even hormonal issues, please make sure to address this with a professional.</p><p>There is an additional piece of advice for everyone reading this: get outside! You don&#8217;t have to do something grand - just take a little walk with your phone on &#8220;do not disturb.&#8221; </p><p>There&#8217;s nothing quite like Mama Nature to set us straight and bring peace to our hearts! Even better, give yourself a small goal, like finding pretty rocks, looking for mushrooms, or identifying a few plants.

is a period of inspiration, learning, teaching, and collaboration. This is the dawn of a new day when, naked and vulnerable, you are no longer attached to what made you that way. You&#8217;ve learned, or are learning, that what made you that way was a part of your journey, not your identity.</p><p>This time of year has always been difficult for me, and may be for you as well. It doesn&#8217;t have to be as much of a struggle as it tends to be, though!</p><p>Not only do I struggle with Seasonal Affective Disorder, my body and my heart remember one of my earliest traumas that occurred at this time - even when my conscious brain forgets. There have been so many years when the end of summer sent me into a deep depression that seemed to have no trigger. Once I realized the source, this time of year got a lot easier for me.</p><p>I learned to anticipate the depression so it didn&#8217;t catch me off guard, and I can&#8217;t even begin to tell you how insanely helpful that was, and still is! </p><p>The tears became a passing shower instead of a months-long monsoon. It caused me to be more gentle to myself and opened me up to the beauty of colorful autumn leaves and the crisp breeze on a sunny day, at a time when everything used to be dull and gray. Talk about inspiration!</p><p>There also continues to be an energy around purging, and this ties nicely with the rest of the energies I mentioned earlier, even though it may not seem so at first glance. </p><p>Decluttering your space, schedule, and mind are ideal activities for this week. Do a brain dump to help you clear your mind, and make a game out of seeing how many items and/or perceived obligations you can get rid of. </p><p>Cord-cutting is also advised for those of you who are having a difficult time letting go of people, beliefs, and items that belong in the past.</p><p>Every item, person, or thought you drop brings inspiration and excitement to drop more. It may inspire your creative side to do things like redecorate or work out a system to address some of the everyday things you might struggle with. Organizing is a creative endeavor, and so is the visualization of what comes next for you!</p><p>It&#8217;s also good to remember that, for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, this is a time of preparing for the coming winter. </p><p>While society makes us feel like we have to be productive all the time, it is natural and necessary to slow down during the winter, as the rest of the natural world does. Every living thing has its cycle of production and dormancy, and we are not exempt from this cycle.</p><p>This is also a time of harvest, celebration, and enjoying the fruits of our labor, even as we stash our nuts for the winter ahead. </p><p>It&#8217;s a time of community and teaching, or &#8220;learning the ropes.&#8221; A time to enjoy the sunshine while we can, and get cozy at night. This is a time to figure out how to make things comfy and slow, so we can experience the winter as restful and beneficial, rather than malevolent.</p><p>What is your experience with this time of year? Have you been purging and prepping for the winter without even knowing it? What&#8217;s your favorite autumn activity, and if you don&#8217;t have one, is there something you might like to try? What in your life needs to fall away like the colorful leaves in the tree outside your window? </p><p>Use these questions as journal prompts or let me know in the comments!

Thankfully, I started a new med that seems to be helping a little, and just yesterday, my doctor increased the dose. I now have a little more &#8220;production&#8221; time before my hands start acting up.</p><p>Because of the RA and other chronic health issues, I have been doing the absolute minimum for some time now. I&#8217;m exhausted. I will continue to share my weekly Messages From the Universe, and anything else will happen as I am able. </p><p>Please forgive me for such limited interaction here on Substack. I have always struggled with leaving comments and creating notes that introduce the amazing work of others that I restack.

Or maybe you&#8217;ve been so focused on your responsibilities that there is little else in your life besides the sleep that is never quite enough. It&#8217;s also possible that the change of seasons could have you dealing with a little extra depression and anxiety. There seems to be an overall energy of irritability as well.</p><h3>It&#8217;s time to let your wild child out to play!</h3><p>Get out there in nature and feel the autumn winds or spring breeze swirl around you like a mischievous spirit. Get together with your naughtiest friend and howl at the moon! Go dancing, make a bonfire, have a game night, or get lost on the back roads. You know that thing you would love to do, but it doesn&#8217;t seem practical? Do that thing!</p><p>We have somehow relegated fun to the bottom of our priority list and made that a way of life. We silence that wild child within, then wonder why she causes so much trouble. The unheard inner child is the seed of self-sabotage and bears the remedy for what you&#8217;ve been struggling with. Starving her only means she will be ravenous and relentless - causing problems at the worst of times and leading to excess and other unhealthy behaviors.</p><h3>If you&#8217;re partnered up, make sure to be wild together.</h3><p>Doing so may help to ease some of the tension or monotony the two of you may have been experiencing. Your fun and ferality should not come at a cost to others, and others should not be allowed to smother your spark. </p><p>If there is a conversation to be had, stand firm in your boundaries, but make a little extra effort to be kind and understand your partner&#8217;s point of view. Don&#8217;t make any important decisions when emotions are high, and remember that any disagreements you might have are not about who wins -  it&#8217;s about finding a solution that works for both of you.</p><p>This is also a great time to release something you&#8217;ve had an unhealthy attachment to, and maybe dive deep into your journal. Ask yourself what you&#8217;re struggling with, then keep asking why until you get to the core of it. Ask yourself what you need right now and brainstorm alternative ways to fulfill that need.</p><p>The conversation around journaling tends toward the positive and problem-solving, but it is also a great way to purge. There may be a thought that purging your negative feelings may call in more negativity, but that&#8217;s simply not true. Purge your heart out on that paper! You may even want to burn it when you&#8217;re done, and visualize those problems going up with the smoke.</p><p>What is something you&#8217;ve always wanted to do, but didn&#8217;t think it practical? What is something you miss doing that you feel you don&#8217;t have time for? When was the last time you truly laughed out loud or moved your body to music that enthralls you? It&#8217;s time to free that wild child &#128153;</p><p><em>Don&#8217;t forget to check out today&#8217;s music, crystals, and decks below!</em></p><p><em>If you would like to support my work, you can do so by:</em></p><p>&#128478;&#65039; <a href="https://www.halfcrackedguru.com/subscribe">Becoming a free or paid subscriber</a><br><em> </em>&#10024;<em><a href="https://hello.halfcrackedguru.com">Purchasing a piece of my Intentional Jewelry</a><br></em>&#128302;<em><a href="https://ko-fi.com/halfcrackedguru/commissions">Booking a Reading</a><br></em>&#9749;<em><a href="https://ko-fi.com/halfcrackedguru"> Buying me a coffee on Ko-Fi &#128153;</a></em></p><h2><strong>I made this &#128525;&#128525;&#128525;</strong></h2><p><strong><a href="https://hello.halfcrackedguru.com/products/fossilized-coral-pendant-grounding-rose-gold-toned-ancient-wisdom">Hand-Crafted Fossilized Coral Pendant | Grounding &amp; Connection, Rose Gold-Toned | &#8220;Ancient Wisdom&#8221;</a></strong></p><div id="youtube2-P0jDBNMqcOU" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;P0jDBNMqcOU&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/P0jDBNMqcOU?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://hello.halfcrackedguru.com/products/fossilized-coral-pendant-grounding-rose-gold-toned-ancient-wisdom&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Visit My Shop &#128420;&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://hello.halfcrackedguru.com/products/fossilized-coral-pendant-grounding-rose-gold-toned-ancient-wisdom"><span>Visit My Shop &#128420;</span></a></p><h2><strong>In case you missed some magic &#10024;</strong></h2><p></p><div class="digest-post-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;nodeId&quot;:&quot;e6a1ceff-9e3d-4725-a42c-fe531a0639a9&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Each of us has a myriad of masks we wear to fit our situations, environments, and the people we interact with.

Masking does not make you inauthentic; it&#8217;s simply an aspect of the whole you.</p><p>For example, we are ourselves when we go to work, but work gets a slightly different version of us than our family might experience. We mask our pain in public and our insecurities when we meet a potential partner. We put on a brave face when we want to run away, and an angry mask when we are wounded and vulnerable.</p><h3><strong>There&#8217;s another mask that doesn&#8217;t seem like it could be you, but it is!</strong></h3><p>This is the mask that embodies the phrase &#8220;fake it till you make it.&#8221; It&#8217;s what you want and who you wish you could be. Your wants and unmet needs are at the very core of you - a shaky glimpse into the shadows of who you truly are and who you are becoming.</p><p>This is the mask we wear to job interviews and first dates. It&#8217;s the mask of affirmations, vision boards, and getting back up on the horse that threw you into the dirt. This is your determination and the shedding of beliefs that are no longer helpful or healthy.</p><p>I have heard many people scoff at the idea of affirmations, but there is real science behind it! I&#8217;ll leave a link below to a Psychology Today article that summarizes a number of studies performed over the years.</p><h3><strong>Here&#8217;s the deal: things like affirmations work because your brain will believe almost anything if it&#8217;s repeated often enough.</strong></h3><p>I have become an expert at screwing with my own head, and you can too! Will you actually become a money magnet if you say it enough times? Maybe not, but maybe so. Affirmations can cause you to change your behavior, become more confident, and try for things you previously might not have thought you could do.</p><p>You don&#8217;t have to start with what feels impossible or ridiculous. Start with something small and work your way up! Keep visual and physical reminders of your goals, so they stay in the forefront of your mind. This is actually the reason why I started creating my intentional purse charms - I&#8217;ll link them below in case you want to check them out!</p><p>Make sure to use the phrase &#8220;I am&#8221; instead of things like &#8220;I can, I will, &#8220; or &#8220; I wish I could,&#8221; because little words can pack an extraordinary amount of power! It&#8217;s also a good idea to create your affirmation as a response to some of the negative self-talk that comes up often, or to pull your energy toward the good things about you that tend to take a back seat to the negative narrative.</p><p>I would love for you to leave me a comment telling me something good about yourself! If you can&#8217;t quite do that yet, tell me what you want to call in or who you are becoming &#128153;</p><p><em>Don&#8217;t forget to check out today&#8217;s music, crystals, and decks below!</em></p><p><em>If you would like to support my work, you can do so by:</em></p><p>&#128478;&#65039; <a href="https://www.halfcrackedguru.com/subscribe">Becoming a free or paid subscriber</a><br><em> </em>&#10024;<em><a href="https://hello.halfcrackedguru.com">Purchasing a piece of my Intentional Jewelry</a><br></em>&#128302;<em><a href="https://ko-fi.com/halfcrackedguru/commissions">Booking a Reading</a><br></em>&#9749;<em><a href="https://ko-fi.com/halfcrackedguru"> Buying me a coffee on Ko-Fi &#128153;</a></em></p><h3><strong>Check out my <a href="https://hello.halfcrackedguru.com/search?q=purse+charms">Intentional Purse Charms!</a></strong></h3><p>They&#8217;re not just pretty, they&#8217;re meant to be a physical representation of what you&#8217;re manifesting - kinda like a vision board you can fondle and carry with you everywhere!</p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/e9efb001-e096-413c-ac0d-03c71e1a5fa2_1013x1350.png&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/1ddf654a-b411-43e6-a859-1e66d86f70e1_1013x1350.png&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/02fa31c5-7f7e-4061-9391-dfc6a5dce37e_1013x1350.png&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/adb4212f-b0cd-43ee-94b9-2382427d2b1c_1080x1350.png&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/77650c8d-b36f-4555-9637-854352e7dd24_1013x1350.png&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/21d87751-7df6-4355-bf1e-5c498dd86a4f_1013x1350.png&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/ce21960a-c511-46f1-b93a-39f7c274155d_1456x964.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://hello.halfcrackedguru.com/search?q=purse+charms&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Visit My Shop &#128420;&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://hello.halfcrackedguru.com/search?q=purse+charms"><span>Visit My Shop &#128420;</span></a></p><div id="youtube2-yB5lFcv0IpI" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;yB5lFcv0IpI&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/yB5lFcv0IpI?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://hello.halfcrackedguru.com/search?q=purse+charms&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Visit My shop &#128420;&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://hello.halfcrackedguru.com/search?q=purse+charms"><span>Visit My shop &#128420;</span></a></p><h3><strong>In case you missed some magic &#10024;</strong></h3><p></p><div class="digest-post-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;nodeId&quot;:&quot;c519abeb-ad2e-48a4-b925-d0736cbffbea&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Feeling stuck or stagnant?

stuck or stagnant? Like you&#8217;re living the same day over and over again? Maybe your relationship feels strained and needs a little spicing up, or you&#8217;re feeling somewhat apathetic. It&#8217;s also possible that you must start or have just started something new and feel a little lost or anxious.</p><p>This week&#8217;s Message From the Universe indicates that this is an excellent time to try something new! The thought of stepping outside your comfort zone may not be pleasant, but actually doing so will breathe new life into you, your relationships, and your environment. Doing new things helps you to think outside the box and tends to have a ripple effect in other areas of your life, even in people who simply cross your path.</p><p>Of course, this is a message for many, so the possibilities of what needs new life and how to create that new life are pretty much endless!</p><h5><strong>If it&#8217;s your relationship that needs a little kick, you might initiate a date night or try something new when you get intimate.</strong></h5><p>And don&#8217;t just do dinner and a movie for date night; do things that involve movement and some sort of goal. This might be something classic like miniature golf, or a new twist on an old favorite, like a walk in the woods but made into a sort of scavenger hunt. Sip and paint, go ziplining, or even something as simple as a board game.</p><h5><strong>For some of you, it&#8217;s your home that needs a little updating.</strong></h5><p>There&#8217;s big &#8220;purge&#8221; energy happening right now as well, so decluttering and organizing will be an excellent way to breathe new life into your environment. Just thinking about it may be a little overwhelming, so just start with the big or obvious stuff, and aim for a few minutes to an hour every day instead of trying to do it all in a day or a weekend.</p><h5><strong>You may have been thinking about quitting or starting a new habit and might not know how to even begin.</strong></h5><p>If you&#8217;re quitting, put as much friction as possible between you and what you&#8217;re trying to quit. Like if you&#8217;re trying to eat healthier, you might find it helpful to not get the goodies when grocery shopping, forcing yourself to make another trip. Make sure to load up on healthy but easy snacks like fruit to catch you when you&#8217;re craving something sweet.</p><p>If you&#8217;d like to create a new habit, decrease the friction as much as possible. So if you wanted to start a journalling habit, you might keep your journal where you can see it, and in the place you are most likely to use it. &#8220;Stack&#8221; this habit onto another one that you actually do every day, like deciding to journal when you have your morning coffee, or the moment you get into bed.</p><h5>I saved the best for last...we could all do with a little more creating in our lives!</h5><p>If I had a nickel for every time I&#8217;ve heard someone say they&#8217;re not creative, I&#8217;d have a mountain of them! We are all creative. Creating isn&#8217;t just painting or crocheting. We use our creativity to cook, garden - even problem-solving is a creative endeavor.</p><h5><strong>Let&#8217;s go back to the painting, crocheting, etc.</strong></h5><p>So many of us would love to be someone who could do the thing, but we don&#8217;t feel like we are naturally gifted, or maybe we tried it, and the results were terrible. Here&#8217;s the thing - anything we try will be awful at first. Even the most accomplished artists started out with stick figures and a sun in the corner. You get better with intention and practice. PLUS, nothing you create needs to be museum-worthy.</p><p>It&#8217;s an outlet for the creativity you stifle and can even be a form of meditation. It&#8217;s a release for overwhelming emotions and gives us a boost every time we get the hang of something that we struggled with.</p><p>You don&#8217;t necessarily even need money to start learning the new thing. There are tons of online and in-person resources out there. For example, I started learning to wire-wrap because I found a little kit in the &#8220;Swap Shack&#8221; at the dump, and I got yarn for crocheting on my community&#8217;s &#8220;Buy Nothing&#8221; Facebook group.</p><p>Renewal is calling, so make sure to answer!</p><p><em>Don&#8217;t forget to check out today&#8217;s music, crystals, and decks below!</em></p><p><em>If you would like to support my work, you can do so by:</em></p><p>&#128478;&#65039; <a href="https://www.halfcrackedguru.com/subscribe">Becoming a free or paid subscriber</a><br><em> </em>&#10024;<em><a href="https://hello.halfcrackedguru.com">Purchasing a piece of my Intentional Jewelry</a><br></em>&#128302;<em><a href="https://ko-fi.com/halfcrackedguru/commissions">Booking a Reading</a><br></em>&#9749;<em><a href="https://ko-fi.com/halfcrackedguru"> Buying me a coffee on Ko-Fi &#128153;</a></em></p><h2><strong>A little something new for you &#128525;&#128525;&#128525;</strong></h2><p><strong><a href="https://hello.halfcrackedguru.com/products/purple-drop-earrings-goth-purplelicious-dreamweaver">Handmade Purple Drop Earrings | Goth, Silver-Tone | Purplelicious Dreamweaver</a></strong></p><div id="youtube2-VUO9HpcpdRo" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;VUO9HpcpdRo&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/VUO9HpcpdRo?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://hello.halfcrackedguru.com/products/purple-drop-earrings-goth-purplelicious-dreamweaver&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Visit My Shop &#128420;&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://hello.halfcrackedguru.com/products/purple-drop-earrings-goth-purplelicious-dreamweaver"><span>Visit My Shop &#128420;</span></a></p><h2><strong>In case you missed some magic &#10024;</strong></h2><p></p><div class="digest-post-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;nodeId&quot;:&quot;92e869e9-024e-4389-bc45-5782e3292379&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;You may be the type of person who would give someone the shirt right off your back, but keep your heart closed behind walls meant to protect you from heartbreak.

back, but keep your heart closed behind walls meant to protect you from heartbreak. It&#8217;s also pretty likely that you have a hard time receiving help from others and do all you can to not have to ask for it. You might even be someone who receives a lot and gives little in return.</p><p>The dance of reciprocity is an important part of a life well-lived! It&#8217;s how we connect to others, and it ensures our survival. While our society glorifies independence and &#8220;survival of the fittest,&#8221; we know that there is safety in numbers, and that communities build things that individuals cannot.</p><p>Anybody who says they created their success all by themselves is forgetting that everything they use and consume was grown or created by someone else&#8217;s hand.</p><p>There is a persistent image in my head of an Amish barn raising. When a disaster happens, or a new family begins to farm, the whole community pitches in and builds an entire barn in a single day. Nobody gets paid, and nobody is forced to participate. Each person knows that their community will be there for them if and when they need it.</p><p>An even better example of this dance is the way many indigenous people&#8217;s gifting economy works. Whatever it is that you have or do, you share it with the tribe. You are able to receive what you need, and it&#8217;s expected that you give what you are able, when you are able, instead of returning a similar item or service. Your community bonds are your wealth.</p><p>Today&#8217;s message is asking you to examine the way you dance with the energy of giving and receiving. It assures us that bringing balance to this area will bring a freeing and abundant energy to many different aspects of your life.</p><p>Remember, you can also give too much and for the wrong reasons. </p><p>Denying yourself what you need - be it resources, love, or respect - isn&#8217;t helping the receiver. It&#8217;s either showing them that they can keep taking without any kind of reciprocity or respect for boundaries, or teaching them that depleting themselves for the whims of others is what they should be doing. </p><p>The latter is particularly important for little eyes who look up to you and depend on you to give them the best chance at a rich and healthy life.</p><p>Remember, too, that reciprocating the help that you have received doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean you give the same thing back to the same person. </p><p>For example, someone who gives you money might benefit far more from a service you can provide. Sometimes it might take the form of &#8220;paying it forward&#8221; to others in need. Sometimes your story, knowledge, or attention is the most valuable thing another can receive, so if you ever thought you had nothing to give, think again &#129653;</p><p><em>Don&#8217;t forget to check out today&#8217;s music, crystals, and decks below!</em></p><p><em>If you would like to support my work, you can do so by:</em></p><p>&#128478;&#65039; <a href="https://www.halfcrackedguru.com/subscribe">Becoming a free or paid subscriber</a><br><em> </em>&#10024;<em><a href="https://hello.halfcrackedguru.com">Purchasing a piece of my Intentional Jewelry</a><br></em>&#128302;<em><a href="https://ko-fi.com/halfcrackedguru/commissions">Booking a Reading</a><br></em>&#9749;<em><a href="https://ko-fi.com/halfcrackedguru"> Buying me a coffee on Ko-Fi &#128153;</a></em></p><h2><strong>I made this &#128525;&#128525;&#128525;</strong></h2><p><strong><a href="https://hello.halfcrackedguru.com/products/manifesting-tarot-purse-charm">Manifesting Purse Charm | Carnelian &amp; Magician Tarot, Gold-Tone | &#8220;Alchemist&#8217;s Touch&#8221;</a></strong></p><div id="youtube2-jrwJV8WamYo" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;jrwJV8WamYo&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/jrwJV8WamYo?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://hello.halfcrackedguru.com/products/manifesting-tarot-purse-charm&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Visit My Shop &#128420;&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://hello.halfcrackedguru.com/products/manifesting-tarot-purse-charm"><span>Visit My Shop &#128420;</span></a></p><h2><strong>In case you missed some magic &#10024;</strong></h2><p></p><div class="digest-post-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;nodeId&quot;:&quot;f7dd6014-ae9c-449f-a880-242029756827&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;We humans are always building, creating, and growing, even when it seems we are standing still, firmly rooted in what we know and understand.

standing still, firmly rooted in what we know and understand. We make houses into homes and strangers into loved ones. We turn jobs into careers, careers into memories, and thoughts into reality.</p><p>I think the idea that we are always improving ourselves is frequently misunderstood. This is not about changing ourselves to be more palatable to others or fit some expectation of our society. </p><p>It&#8217;s about improving our relationship to ourselves and shedding the ideas and beliefs that were never ours and often detrimental to us. It&#8217;s about understanding ourselves so we can heal and build our lives for who we truly are, instead of who we used to be or who we think we&#8217;re supposed to be.</p><p>Today&#8217;s message is all about what you&#8217;re building - making sure to create strong foundations that won&#8217;t crumble beneath the weight of life&#8217;s challenges. It&#8217;s too easy to let fear and desperation make our choices for us, and that&#8217;s the kind of building material that ensures you will have to build again. </p><p>You may want to jump right in, but hasty decisions will not be helpful here. Make sure you sleep on any big decisions before committing, and think before you speak.</p><p>Whatever you may be building, it requires a mix of what you know and what you don&#8217;t.</p><p>While much of what you know will be helpful, a new perspective and/or new information is important to ensuring that what you are building will last. You may be trying to rebuild something that no longer exists or something that you&#8217;ve outgrown, or you may just need a fresh perspective. </p><p>You may find that what you have is already wonderful, and just needs a little something new to liven it up so it feels fresh again - kinda like a fresh coat of paint.</p><p>The people who you are close to (or would like to be close to) are important here as well. Not only do they offer new perspectives, sometimes we just need to put down our tools for a day and have a little fun to release some of the pressure we&#8217;re feeling. They may even want to help you build and bring an element of fun to the work that must be done.</p><p><em>Don&#8217;t forget to check out today&#8217;s music, crystals, and decks

How often have you made yourself small to avoid rocking the boat? Can you see how you may have continued these behaviors in situations where they were unnecessary? Your body really does keep score. For every feeling stuffed down, every important word unsaid, and every tear you&#8217;ve blinked back, there is an invisible wound that festers within.</p><p>Modern medicine may be able to treat the symptoms caused by these wounds, but you are the only one who can actually heal them.</p><p>If you&#8217;ve found your way to me, chances are that you learned how to abandon yourself long before you even knew there was a self to abandon. Some time ago, you learned that shrinking yourself was self-preservation, and the world we live in and the people you&#8217;ve surrounded yourself with reinforce this behavior on a regular basis.</p><p>Of course, it really was self-preservation at the time, but we&#8217;re no longer surviving - we&#8217;re learning how to thrive. Noticing these behaviors in yourself is the first and most important step to healing them. Once you take that first step, the rest come somewhat naturally. </p><p>You might ask yourself why you just did that or why you feel what you&#8217;re feeling in the moment. You may already know the why, but need to be more intentional about how you respond to the thoughts that keep you in survival mode and unhealthy patterns.</p><p>This is when &#8220;loving yourself&#8221; becomes a real possibility instead of some unattainable woo-woo trend.</p><p>Self-love doesn&#8217;t feel the same way as your love for another might feel - it&#8217;s more of a decision you make. It&#8217;s a choice to take care of yourself the same way you would take care of someone you love. It&#8217;s being patient, kind, and compassionate to yourself, and making healthy decisions when you want to self-sabotage. </p><p>You might learn to recognize your body for the amazing machine that it is, instead of allowing our unattainable beauty standards to amplify and distort how you see yourself. It&#8217;s learning how to speak up for yourself one &#8220;no&#8221; at a time, and resting when your body demands it. It&#8217;s handing back responsibilities to their rightful owners and nourishing yourself with healthy food and opportunities to create.</p><p>This also means not taking &#8220;no&#8221; as an answer to something you need.</p><p>Maybe this means an ultimatum or a search for a doctor who takes you seriously. It could be something you deny yourself because you prioritize everyone and everything else more. It&#8217;s recognizing that there will never be time for your needs because you have not deemed them important enough. Sometimes it&#8217;s realizing that you will never be ready to do the important thing. </p><p>The best things in life come because you took a risk and did the thing despite the fact that you were terrified.</p><p>Start small, one step and one breath at a time. Saying &#8220;no&#8221; to the little things will help you to build up the big ones, and remember, falling and failing are an important part of anything worth pursuing. Dust yourself off and get back up on that horse or wagon or whatever - the road ahead isn&#8217;t just a path to a destination; it&#8217;s where life is actually lived, experienced, and loved &#129653;</p><p><em>Don&#8217;t forget to check out today&#8217;s music, crystals, and decks below!</em></p><p><em>If you would like to support my work, you can do so by:</em></p><p>&#128478;&#65039; <a href="https://www.halfcrackedguru.com/subscribe">Becoming a free or paid subscriber</a><br><em> </em>&#10024;<em><a href="https://hello.halfcrackedguru.com">Purchasing a piece of my Intentional Jewelry</a><br></em>&#128302;<em><a href="https://ko-fi.com/halfcrackedguru/commissions">Booking a Reading</a><br></em>&#9749;<em><a href="https://ko-fi.com/halfcrackedguru"> Buying me a coffee on Ko-Fi &#128153;</a></em></p><h2><strong>I made these &#128525;&#128525;&#128525;</strong></h2><p><strong><a href="https://hello.halfcrackedguru.com/products/unakite-earrings-harmony-drops">Hand-Woven Unakite Earrings | One-of-a-Kind, Silver-Tone | &#8220;Harmony Drops&#8221;</a></strong></p><div id="youtube2-aGH5batzOqY" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;aGH5batzOqY&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/aGH5batzOqY?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://hello.halfcrackedguru.com/products/unakite-earrings-harmony-drops&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Visit My Shop &#128420;&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://hello.halfcrackedguru.com/products/unakite-earrings-harmony-drops"><span>Visit My Shop &#128420;</span></a></p><h2><strong>In case you missed some magic &#10024;</strong></h2><p></p><div class="digest-post-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;nodeId&quot;:&quot;7baf2cfd-bc39-4982-a3cc-3ba714e1260c&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;What a delicious energy and a welcome change from the heavier energies we&#8217;ve been working with lately!

we&#8217;ve been working with lately! This week is all about allowing yourself to not only dream, but to believe in your dream and back it up with action.</p><p>I know that belief may be a big ask here, but it might be a little easier if you look at it as if it were someone else trying to make their wish come true, as we tend to be a lot more optimistic and supportive of anyone but ourselves. Instead of talking yourself into doubt by focusing on what can go wrong, focus on all the ways this can go right! </p><p>What will it feel like? How many different ways can this thing become a reality? Not only is it possible - your careful thought and action, and your determination make it probable!</p><p>While your actions in this matter are important, there is an element of luck here, as well as the unexpected. You may think you have things all planned out, but your plans should only be a guideline. Leave room for surprise awesomeness and occurrences you didn&#8217;t know you needed until they materialized.</p><p>Loosen up those expectations while you&#8217;re at it - this realized wish or dream may look radically different than what you see in your mind&#8217;s eye. You will likely pivot somewhat regularly as new information and ideas come through, and as you try out different things to see what feels right on this path.</p><p>This is also a great time to ask yourself if what you&#8217;ve wanted for so long is actually still aligned with who you have become. Our dreams and goals change with us, so you may find that something else may fit a little better at this time. Dream big, my friends, and be so determined that there is no other option but for this wish to come true &#129653;</p><p><em>Don&#8217;t forget to check out today&#8217;s music, crystals, and decks below!</em></p><p><em>If you would like to support my work, you can do so by:</em></p><p>&#128478;&#65039; <a href="https://www.halfcrackedguru.com/subscribe">Becoming a free or paid subscriber</a><br><em> </em>&#10024;<em><a href="https://hello.halfcrackedguru.com">Purchasing a piece of my Intentional Jewelry</a><br></em>&#128302;<em><a href="https://ko-fi.com/halfcrackedguru/commissions">Booking a Reading</a><br></em>&#9749;<em><a href="https://ko-fi.com/halfcrackedguru"> Buying me a coffee on Ko-Fi &#128153;</a></em></p><h2><strong>I made these &#128525;&#128525;&#128525;</strong></h2><p><strong><a href="https://hello.halfcrackedguru.com/products/purple-drop-earrings-goth-purplelicious-dreamweaver">Handmade Purple Drop Earrings | Silver-Tone | &#8220;Purplelicious Dreamweaver&#8221;</a></strong></p><div id="youtube2-5UVKK6wIjAA" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;5UVKK6wIjAA&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/5UVKK6wIjAA?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://hello.halfcrackedguru.com/products/purple-drop-earrings-goth-purplelicious-dreamweaver&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Visit My Shop &#128420;&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://hello.halfcrackedguru.com/products/purple-drop-earrings-goth-purplelicious-dreamweaver"><span>Visit My Shop &#128420;</span></a></p><h2><strong>In case you missed some magic &#10024;</strong></h2><div class="digest-post-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;nodeId&quot;:&quot;6b96eab9-71d7-41a4-8457-d626100f4928&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;You may be feeling some kind of lack in your life.

This is likely a financial or health thing, but it&#8217;s not limited to those options - the word &#8220;loneliness&#8221; comes to mind.</p><p>While the Five of Pentacles usually indicates a &#8220;lack mindset,&#8221; the actual lack is a real thing. Others may tell you that your mindset is the cause of your lack, but that particular belief structure is flawed - created and spread by people who don&#8217;t see the privilege that enabled them to get to the financial, spiritual, and personal state that they promise to others.</p><p>Don&#8217;t get me wrong, mindset plays a huge part in everything we do, but so do the circumstances we were born into - where we live, what we look like, and even our parents, or lack thereof- are just a few examples. Much of the spiritual and motivational stuff out there is truly great advice, but all advice should be considered and measured through the lens of your own experience and circumstances.</p><p>We can take responsibility for our actions and mindset and still recognize that some things may be out of reach for us - at least for the current time. I know that doesn&#8217;t sound very supportive or motivational, but understanding and accepting your &#8220;limitations&#8221; opens up ways for you to work with and around them. And that&#8217;s what is needed now.</p><p>Necessity is the mother of invention.</p><p>It&#8217;s time to take stock of yourself and your circumstances so you can open up some doors and windows of possibility. There is inspiration available to you at this time that will help you to find those portals of possibility and throw them wide open! Mindset is important here, of course. </p><p>You could define your limitations and let them actually limit you, or you can look at them as merely an obstacle in your path or a challenge to motivate you.</p><p>Break out your notebook and favorite pen and get to work!</p><p>What about this situation is beyond your control? Are there some actions that may be able to influence the outcome, even if over a long period of time? What about this situation is within your control? Are your expectations in need of updating?</p><p>Is there something you know might help but are dreading it? Time to suck it up! Maybe anything you might do will take time, but you don&#8217;t have the time. You can do it; you just have to make it a priority. You&#8217;d be surprised what one focused hour a week can accomplish.</p><p>Don&#8217;t get me wrong, that last bit might sound a little privileged, but that&#8217;s because I&#8217;m finally in a position where I can see how I might have done things a little differently if I knew then what I know now. Pouring all your time, health, and energy into work and/or family can obscure anything that is outside of that, including your own personal growth, and that&#8217;s why prioritizing that time is necessary. </p><p>Exhaustion alone can keep you complacent for an entire lifetime.</p><p>Don&#8217;t let your circumstances make you think that what is will always be. You have more power and agency than you think, so open yourself to the possibility of better. A life that feels like living, a new path that you may not have previously believed was possible for you, new solutions to old problems, and resolution where there was once hopelessness - these things are what I wish for you, and I know that you can make them more than a wish &#128153;</p><p><em>Don&#8217;t forget to check out today&#8217;s music, crystals, and decks below!</em></p><p><em>If you would like to support my work, you can do so by:</em></p><p>&#128478;&#65039; <a href="https://www.halfcrackedguru.com/subscribe">Becoming a free or paid subscriber</a><br><em> </em>&#10024;<em><a href="https://ko-fi.com/halfcrackedguru/shop">Purchasing a piece of my Intentional Jewelry</a><br></em>&#128302;<em><a href="https://ko-fi.com/halfcrackedguru/commissions">Booking a Reading</a><br></em>&#9749;<em><a href="https://ko-fi.com/halfcrackedguru"> Buying me a coffee on Ko-Fi &#128153;</a></em></p><h2><strong>I made this &#128525;&#128525;&#128525;</strong></h2><p><strong><a href="https://hello.halfcrackedguru.com/products/dramatic-garnet-earrings-bleeding-black-heart">Dramatic Garnet Earrings | Handmade, Dangle, Silver-Toned | &#8220;My Bleeding Black Heart&#8221;</a></strong></p><div id="youtube2-jkywdpcEUQc" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;jkywdpcEUQc&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/jkywdpcEUQc?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://hello.halfcrackedguru.com/products/dramatic-garnet-earrings-bleeding-black-heart&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Visit My Shop &#128420;&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://hello.halfcrackedguru.com/products/dramatic-garnet-earrings-bleeding-black-heart"><span>Visit My Shop &#128420;</span></a></p><h2><strong>In case you missed some magic &#10024;</strong></h2><div class="digest-post-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;nodeId&quot;:&quot;a0d4aef1-3d95-48ea-9e21-c22eb45fc592&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;You may be figuring out how to deal with a crisis at this time.

Whether it&#8217;s putting out fires at work or making your way through a difficult situation at home, don&#8217;t panic! I know, easier said than done, but panicking will only complicate things further.</p><p>The scale and details of this crisis will be different for everyone. For some, this only feels like a crisis, but others may be dealing with something big that feels impossible to manage. It&#8217;s also possible that this isn&#8217;t something new, but something you&#8217;ve been struggling with for some time that feels like it&#8217;s closing in on you.</p><p>The advice I&#8217;ve received is crystal clear:</p><h3>1. Break out a notebook and do a <a href="https://psychcentral.com/health/using-brain-dumping-to-manage-anxiety-and-over-thinking#four-types">brain dump.</a> </h3><p>Getting all those racing thoughts down on paper helps you to process them a little differently and creates a perfect space for solutions to come up that you may not have considered previously. This is also a great way to work out the steps necessary to get out of this situation, which may help your brain feel like it has a little more control. </p><h3>2. Step away from the problem. </h3><p>When you&#8217;re so focused on a problem that it&#8217;s all you can think about, you&#8217;re not doing yourself any favors. You need a good sleep a good a good laugh, such as a night out with friends, a day spent in your PJs watching movies and eating junk, game night with the family,</p><p>Doing the brain dump I suggested should help you to actually enjoy your evening without being constantly bombarded with thoughts and worry about the problem. </p><p>Having a little fun and/or downtime will refresh you in a way that improves how you deal with the problem when you return your focus. &#8220;Sleeping on it&#8221; and spending time with others can bring up fresh solutions as well.</p><h3>3. Ask for help. </h3><p>This is probably something you don&#8217;t want to do and likely something that needs doing anyway. If the person you talk to can&#8217;t help in the way you feel you need, they may be able to help you figure out options that aren&#8217;t on your radar, or give you the moral support you didn&#8217;t know you needed.</p><p>Everyone needs help from time to time, including those who you think have it all figured out. </p><h3>4. Remember, this is temporary! </h3><p>Not only is this a temporary situation, it may be a blessing in disguise. Closed doors are often opportunities you didn&#8217;t know you needed. While you may have been thinking the whole time that this was the way to get what or where you wanted, there have been endless other doors that you didn&#8217;t even know existed because you had no reason to look for them.</p><p>This is your new beginning. Small or large, work or personal, external or internal, this is your opportunity to level up in some way. Don&#8217;t stay focused on the problem - focus on the possibility!</p><p><em>Don&#8217;t forget to check out today&#8217;s music, crystals, and decks below!</em></p><p><em>If you would like to support my work, you can do so by:</em></p><p>&#128478;&#65039; <a href="https://www.halfcrackedguru.com/subscribe">Becoming a free or paid subscriber</a><br><em> </em>&#10024;<em><a href="https://ko-fi.com/halfcrackedguru/shop">Purchasing a piece of my Intentional Jewelry</a><br></em>&#128302;<em><a href="https://ko-fi.com/halfcrackedguru/commissions">Booking a Reading</a><br></em>&#9749;<em><a href="https://ko-fi.com/halfcrackedguru"> Buying me a coffee on Ko-Fi &#128153;</a></em></p><h2><strong>I made this &#128525;&#128525;&#128525;</strong></h2><p><strong><a href="https://hello.halfcrackedguru.com/products/artisan-sugilite-set-silver-toned-pendant-earrings-nights-plutonian-shore">Artisan Sugilite Set | Silver-Toned Pendant &amp; Earrings | &#8220;Night&#8217;s Plutonian Shore&#8221;</a></strong></p><p><strong>I created this crystal pendant &amp; earring set to assist spiritual and personal growth.

pressure may be building this very moment. Pressure is not necessarily a bad thing, though. Some of us do our best work under pressure, and much-needed change often comes from high-pressure situations. </p><p>This week&#8217;s message is about those difficult situations and highlights the discomfort you feel in any or many areas of your life.</p><p>I saw my first real-life hummingbird right after I drew these cards. It added the energy of resilience and adaptability to this message, and fits perfectly with the &#8220;East&#8221; card, which speaks of new beginnings. The &#8220;Music&#8221; card speaks of using music to change your mood and release through moving your body, but it also feels like flow.</p><p>You may not have any control over some of the situations that affect you, but you can control what you do with them. This week&#8217;s message advises you not to fight against the current, but to ride that wave, and possibly even make it work in your favor. Use that pressure to propel you forward, and seek out new experiences or ways of living.</p><p>Here&#8217;s an example of how this works:</p><p>Here in the US, things have been in a steady decline. It&#8217;s truly unbelievable - the crazy shit that happens<em> every fucking day</em>. Our economy is tanking, though they tell us otherwise for some reason, like we&#8217;re not literally experiencing it. </p><p>We have masked villains kidnapping and killing brown people, and throwing them in concentration camps. That&#8217;s not even a new thing, just a drastic increase in the atrocities our government commits at home, and the balls to do it all in our faces, instead of hiding it like they used to. </p><p>And of course we know the other atrocities the rich and powerful have been committing, which is now open knowledge with ZERO consequences for the perpetrators.</p><p>Sounds pretty bleak, right? Well, it is, but the fact that we&#8217;re seeing it is a sign of progress. What has been hidden from us for centuries has been exposed to the light of day. Increasing measures of control and state-sanctioned violence are a sign that their propaganda is no longer effective.</p><p>What are we doing about it? Arguably not enough, but the thing that everyone cares about most is money, and the lack is only just starting to hit those who have been too comfortable to care.</p><p>Some people run for office, and some organize community gardens. There are a heartening number of people who put themselves between the villains and the victims, and we have a worldwide network of people sharing information that both informs and aids the rise of everyday humans over the power structures that confine us. </p><p>COVID taught us to make bread and turn our long-neglected hobbies into side hustles, and our isolation showed us just how important our villages really are.</p><p>That&#8217;s what it looks like to let pressure be our propellant instead of letting it crush us. We humans are incredibly adaptable! That adaptability can work against us, though, so we must be intentional about it all. </p><p>We can accept that a thing is happening and throw our hands up in defeat, or we can accept that it&#8217;s happening and let our determination and hope for the future shape our actions.</p><p><em>Don&#8217;t forget to check out today&#8217;s music, crystals, and decks below!</em></p><p><em>If you would like to support my work, you can do so by:</em></p><p>&#128478;&#65039; <a href="https://www.halfcrackedguru.com/subscribe">Becoming a free or paid subscriber</a><br><em> </em>&#10024;<em><a href="https://ko-fi.com/halfcrackedguru/shop">Purchasing a piece of my Intentional Jewelry</a><br></em>&#128302;<em><a href="https://ko-fi.com/halfcrackedguru/commissions">Booking a Reading</a><br></em>&#9749;<em><a href="https://ko-fi.com/halfcrackedguru"> Buying me a coffee on Ko-Fi &#128153;</a></em></p><h2><strong>I made this &#128525;&#128525;&#128525;</strong></h2><p><strong><a href="https://ko-fi.com/s/0c3ee0874b">Divine Feminine Purse Charm | Handmade, Blue &amp; Purple, Silver-Tone | &#8220;La Luna Plateada&#8221;</a></strong></p><div id="youtube2-3kXn8qfs7ww" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;3kXn8qfs7ww&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/3kXn8qfs7ww?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://ko-fi.com/s/0c3ee0874b&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Check Out My Shop &#128420;&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://ko-fi.com/s/0c3ee0874b"><span>Check Out My Shop &#128420;</span></a></p><h2><strong>In case you missed some magic &#10024;</strong></h2><div class="digest-post-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;nodeId&quot;:&quot;654450ec-1a5c-4fff-af42-8556bc0ee427&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;This week&#8217;s Message From the Universe indicates heightened magnetism and fast-paced progress for something you&#8217;ve been manifesting.&quot;,&quot;cta&quot;:null,&quot;showBylines&quot;:true,&quot;showDescription&quot;:true,&quot;showImage&quot;:true,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;sm&quot;,&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;What Are You Manifesting?

fast-paced progress for something you&#8217;ve been manifesting.</p><p>You&#8217;re hella magnetic right now, so be careful what you wish for and watch your thoughts and words. You could easily pull in more of what you complain about, so keep your eye on the prize, not the obstacle. </p><p>This is a great time to be intentional about visualizing your dreams and goals, as well as working up the emotions you will feel when those dreams and goals come knocking on your door.</p><p>This is a great time to try out different manifesting techniques such as scripting or creating a vision board. Did you know that things like art and cooking are also excellent for manifesting and spell work? </p><p>Speak your intentions into your morning coffee, and savor that first sip even more! Draw or paint your vision, and watch it unfold in real life! Make a playlist full of songs that inspire and lift your heart, create a money jar, and put some real energy into affirmations and mantras.</p><p>If you have been pouring yourself and your intentions into a long-term project or goal, you should be seeing some unmistakable progress or signs that soothe your doubt. Expect an unusual burst of orders, surprise communications, or a new VIP in your network or personal life.</p><p>With Mercury still in retrograde, this is also an ideal time to revise your work, processes, and even your dreams or goals.</p><p>So, what are you manifesting? Does your vision still fit the person you are today? Are there parts of your work or home routine that are no longer helpful or necessary? Any habits you&#8217;d like to quit or add to your routine? I&#8217;d love to hear what you&#8217;re calling in, so drop your thoughts into the comments and don&#8217;t forget to show me a little love by liking and subscribing &#128153;</p><p><em>Don&#8217;t forget to check out today&#8217;s music, crystals, and decks below!</em></p><p><em>If you would like to support my work, you can do so by:</em></p><p>&#128478;&#65039; <a href="https://www.halfcrackedguru.com/subscribe">Becoming a free or paid subscriber</a><br><em> </em>&#10024;<em><a href="https://ko-fi.com/halfcrackedguru/shop">Purchasing a piece of my Intentional Jewelry</a><br></em>&#128302;<em><a href="https://ko-fi.com/halfcrackedguru/commissions">Booking a Reading</a><br></em>&#9749;<em><a href="https://ko-fi.com/halfcrackedguru"> Buying me a coffee on Ko-Fi &#128153;</a></em></p><div><hr></div><p><strong>Take care of yourself, beautiful soul, and take care of your neighbors! &#129653;</strong></p><div><hr></div><h2><strong>I made this &#128525;&#128525;&#128525;</strong></h2><p><strong><a href="https://ko-fi.com/s/144561d274">Here&#8217;s a pretty bracelet I made specifically for manifesting and creativity!</a></strong></p><div id="youtube2-eqNRmjQcZtQ" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;eqNRmjQcZtQ&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/eqNRmjQcZtQ?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://ko-fi.com/s/144561d274&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Get It Here!&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://ko-fi.com/s/144561d274"><span>Get It Here!</span></a></p><h2><strong>In case you missed some magic &#10024;</strong></h2><p></p><div class="digest-post-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;nodeId&quot;:&quot;55a836d7-467e-4122-b749-18cf598ff0f5&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;You&#8217;re too fat, too thin, your skin color is a problem, as is your face when it&#8217;s not properly made up.

Standing up for yourself is &#8220;rocking the boat,&#8221; taking care of yourself is lazy, and setting boundaries is rude.</p><p>Happiness is not a destination, and not just an emotion; it&#8217;s a way of life. </p><p>It&#8217;s a choice you make from moment to moment, and the result of <em>unbecoming</em> all the things that other people said you should be. You will never be enough in a society that always wants more, and the sooner you realize that, the sooner you can go about healing the wounds left by those unrealistic expectations.</p><p>The way we work and play, the way we love and give and receive, the dreams we put away, and the way we treat others as well as ourselves - our expectations of what we think these things look like are unhealthy and unsustainable.</p><p>Our media tells us we should hate our bodies, and our work takes precedence over our health and families. Creating, having fun, and giving ourselves time to rest become so low on our priority list that they could be written with invisible ink.</p><p>One of my favorite lies is the narrative that makes us think there&#8217;s one person out there who can somehow be everything to us. That&#8217;s an awful lot of pressure for that person, and a lifetime of disappointment for you. We need our friends, family, and neighbors. </p><p>Consider a new mother with just her partner to &#8220;help&#8221; versus the new mother who is surrounded by women who have been where she is now. We were not meant to find one person and disappear. We are meant to be part of a community where we all support one another and celebrate the good things in life together.</p><p>I know that&#8217;s a lot to unpack, but that unpacking is what leads to true fulfillment, and it all starts with looking into those dark corners of your mind and heart. </p><p>Once you begin to pull back the curtain of your own thoughts and beliefs, you realize that what resides in that darkness isn&#8217;t scary at all - it was the darkness you were scared of. There are beautiful pieces of you in that dark and dusty corner that are buried beneath the shame that was never truly yours.</p><p>When people talk about loving yourself, this is how it begins, and it&#8217;s how you can extend that love to others in a way that is nourishing instead of depleting.</p><p>When all is said and done, love for yourself and your fellow humans, and gratitude for even the smallest of blessings in your everyday life are the key ingredients for the recipe of a happy life. As with most things in life, getting started is the hardest part, and it gets easier with practice.</p><p>Take some time this week to break out your journal and explore some of those dark corners.</p><p>What are some things you don&#8217;t like about yourself? Are they really things you don&#8217;t like, or are they things that others don&#8217;t like? What&#8217;s the worst that can happen if you feed them? What&#8217;s the best that can happen if you nourish them? </p><p>Everything has its positives and negatives, so it&#8217;s ok if you find a piece that you don&#8217;t like - acknowledging its existence allows you to accept it and learn to work with or around it.</p><p>Maybe you hate your body because it doesn&#8217;t look like you think it should, but oh! What an amazing machine it is! Are you actually lazy, or are you not giving yourself what you need? Do you really suck at the thing, or do you just need to give yourself the chance to learn and practice? </p><p>Maybe you regret some shitty actions or behavior from the past. That&#8217;s a good sign that you&#8217;re creating a new way of living that doesn&#8217;t include that behavior.</p><p>You&#8217;re not the person you keep telling yourself you are, so it&#8217;s time to shine a light on the real you - the ever-changing you that is delightfully human with your own unique brand of flawed fabulosity!</p><p><em>Don&#8217;t forget to check out today&#8217;s music, crystals, and decks below!</em></p><p><em>If you would like to support my work, you can do so by:</em></p><p>&#128478;&#65039; <a href="https://www.halfcrackedguru.com/subscribe">Becoming a free or paid subscriber</a><br><em> </em>&#10024;<em><a href="https://ko-fi.com/halfcrackedguru/shop">Purchasing a piece of my Intentional Jewelry</a><br></em>&#128302;<em><a href="https://ko-fi.com/halfcrackedguru/commissions">Booking a Reading</a><br></em>&#9749;<em><a href="https://ko-fi.com/halfcrackedguru"> Buying me a coffee on Ko-Fi &#128153;</a></em></p><div><hr></div><p><strong>Take care of yourself, beautiful soul, and take care of your neighbors! &#129653;</strong></p><div><hr></div><h2><strong>I made this &#128525;&#128525;&#128525;</strong></h2><p><strong><a href="https://ko-fi.com/s/0c3ee0874b">Divine Feminine Purse/Bag Charm | Handmade, Blue &amp; Purple, Silver-Tone | &#8220;La Luna Plateada&#8221;</a></strong></p><div id="youtube2-3kXn8qfs7ww" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;3kXn8qfs7ww&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/3kXn8qfs7ww?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://ko-fi.com/s/0c3ee0874b&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Visit My Shop &#128420;&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://ko-fi.com/s/0c3ee0874b"><span>Visit My Shop &#128420;</span></a></p><h2><strong>In case you missed some magic &#10024;</strong></h2><div class="digest-post-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;nodeId&quot;:&quot;5bf25b37-0b80-42ff-84f2-feb075868f0f&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Today&#8217;s Message From the Universe indicates chaotic energy, but suggests this is a great time to revisit and regenerate something you&#8217;ve previously struggled with.&quot;,&quot;cta&quot;:null,&quot;showBylines&quot;:true,&quot;showDescription&quot;:true,&quot;showImage&quot;:true,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;sm&quot;,&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Chaos &amp; Regeneration ~ A Message From the Universe&quot;,&quot;publishedBylines&quot;:[{&quot;id&quot;:243789095,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Trish Nonya&quot;,&quot;bio&quot;:&quot;I write inspirational and helpful Messages from the Universe based on tarot and laced with my own philosophies and experience.

this is a great time to revisit and regenerate something you&#8217;ve previously struggled with.</p><p>Thoughts and days may be moving quickly, so it might be a little too easy to feel like a ping-pong ball being slapped to the other side at 154sthe very moment you think you know what&#8217;s going on.</p><p>Don&#8217;t panic! Slow down a little, and double-check any communications or decisions before hitting the &#8220;send&#8221; button. This isn&#8217;t a &#8220;bad&#8221; energy, but when things are moving so quickly, it&#8217;s easy to miss important details.</p><p>Chaos is the stuff of creation, and Mercury retrograde brings the energy of regeneration to something that you previously struggled with. Today&#8217;s message indicates that now is a great time to try again. There is one caveat, though: the goal is to bring new energy to an old idea - not revive the old details.</p><p>A great example of this is the longing to experience something like the holidays or family gatherings you experienced in childhood, when you no longer have any family. This is something that can hold us back for a long time, oftentimes longer than the grief that caused the void in the first place.</p><p>These are the times when we create new traditions and realize that some of the current people in our lives have become our family. You can&#8217;t recreate the past, but you can use it to create a today and tomorrow that makes your heart full!</p><p>Some of you may have already begun working on the revival of a past project or hobby that didn&#8217;t work out. This message is confirmation that you&#8217;re on the right track!</p><p>Deciding to start dating again? This message is a resounding &#8220;YES!&#8221; Just take things slowly. </p><p>Maybe you would like to reignite the spark in your current relationship. This is a great time for reconnecting, but both of you should manage your expectations and give yourselves and each other plenty of grace. You may be surprised to find that you are learning about yourselves in the process of reacquainting with each other!</p><p>However this energy shows up in your life, be intentional about working with it, take one step at a time, and give yourself plenty of grace as well as time to buffer. What are you recreating or thinking about recreating in your life?</p><p><em>Don&#8217;t forget to check out today&#8217;s music, crystals, and decks below!</em></p><p><em>If you would like to support my work, you can do so by:</em></p><p>&#128478;&#65039; <a href="https://www.halfcrackedguru.com/subscribe">Becoming a free or paid subscriber</a><br><em> </em>&#10024;<em><a href="https://ko-fi.com/halfcrackedguru/shop">Purchasing a piece of my Intentional Jewelry</a><br></em>&#128302;<em><a href="https://ko-fi.com/halfcrackedguru/commissions">Booking a Reading</a><br></em>&#9749;<em><a href="https://ko-fi.com/halfcrackedguru"> Buying me a coffee on Ko-Fi &#128153;</a></em></p><div><hr></div><p><strong>Take care of yourself, beautiful soul, and take care of your neighbors! &#129653;</strong></p><div><hr></div><h2><strong>I made this &#128525;&#128525;&#128525;</strong></h2><p><a href="https://ko-fi.com/s/4a715c16c3">Manifesting Purse/Bag Charm | Carnelian &amp; Magician Tarot, Gold-Tone | &#8220;Alchemist&#8217;s Touch&#8221;</a></p><p><span>I created this charm to help you feel your personal power and boost your manifestations &#129505;</span><br><br><span> &#8226;Hand-Wrapped with Intention</span> </p><p>&#8226; <span>One of a Kind</span> </p><p>&#8226;<span> Uplifting with a bit of a Sassy Vibe :)</span></p><div id="youtube2-jrwJV8WamYo" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;jrwJV8WamYo&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/jrwJV8WamYo?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://ko-fi.com/s/4a715c16c3&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Visit My Shop &#128420;&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://ko-fi.com/s/4a715c16c3"><span>Visit My Shop &#128420;</span></a></p><h2><strong>In case you missed some magic &#10024;</strong></h2><div class="digest-post-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;nodeId&quot;:&quot;6a3d5c2f-9dd7-4ffa-999e-78e50fbdc023&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Well hellooooo there!

Universe advises you to be careful with your thoughts and words! They shape your reality, and they have more power than anything to create and destroy lives and dreams.</p><p>You may have all sorts of legitimate or irrational reasons for your animosity towards another or even yourself, but the more you feed it, the bigger it gets. The bigger it gets, the more harm you do to yourself and those around you.</p><p>You may be feeling rage towards a particular person or group of people.</p><p>Even if they &#8220;deserve&#8221; your rage, you don&#8217;t! This isn&#8217;t about how you feel about that person; it&#8217;s about how that rage makes you feel and holds you back. You can allow it to inspire positive action, create boundaries, or eat away at you, bit by bit.</p><p>Maybe that darkness takes form in the way that you think about and treat yourself.</p><p>Most feelings of things like unworthiness and self-loathing are the result of the poor treatment or unrealistic expectations you&#8217;ve been experiencing since before you learned to walk. Even well-intentioned people can create big insecurities, while our society increases and feeds upon them.</p><p>You are a human who makes mistakes, but there is so much more to who you are and the life you are creating for yourself!</p><p>Some of you may currently be the subject of gossip.</p><p>While I am a big fan of standing up for yourself, sometimes the best thing you can do is not give them the energy they&#8217;re looking for. Chin up, smile big, and say &#8220;ok, whatever you say&#8221; as you disengage. It&#8217;s not always easy to do, but like most things, it gets easier with practice.</p><p>Sometimes, the awful things people say about us or things we say about others can have very real consequences for the person on the receiving end of those words.</p><p>If you are on the receiving end of this attack, then just keep taking the next best step and remember that this is not your fault! You are an amazing human, and that triggers people who blame everyone else for their behaviors and consequences.</p><p>If harmful words are falling from your own lips, ask yourself why. What behaviors and beliefs do you hold that are triggered by this person? If they were cruel or betrayed you, do you really want to continue being tethered to them?</p><p>Sometimes these words, both spoken and unspoken, seem to form without your permission. It may seem like you have no control over them, but you have more control than you think.</p><p>Whatever your scenario may be, the advice is the same: learn to catch these thoughts when they occur, so you can replace them or respond with something healthier or helpful. Once you start catching and correcting yourself, it starts to become second nature.</p><p>Remember, just because you think it doesn&#8217;t mean it&#8217;s true, and you have no control over what others think, say, or do.

Also known as Litha, this is the longest day of the year for those of us in the northern hemisphere. It&#8217;s a time of renewal and reflection, and time to let your inner wild child come out to play. </p><p>Don&#8217;t worry if you&#8217;re catching this post at a later date or if you live in the southern hemisphere; these messages are meant to find you when you need them :)</p><p>This is the time to examine the things in your life, both internal and external, through the lens of whether or not they serve you. What things are you doing that neither move the needle nor bolster your spirit? Are there beliefs and behaviors that no longer fit who you are becoming? </p><p>You might even be in the midst of creating a new identity, shedding the skin that other people clothed you in, or one you&#8217;ve outgrown.</p><p>You are stepping into a new chapter and want to leave things behind that may weigh you down or muddle your path. It&#8217;s important to realize that you hold the brush that paints your life. </p><p>The idea that you <em>should </em>be or do anything, the past that makes you feel unworthy, and the patterns that were created from those things, do not need to darken your canvas. Of course, it&#8217;s not easy to leave such things behind, but being intentional about addressing them makes a world of difference!</p><p>Now, before we go any further, I think it&#8217;s important for you to know that rituals are not just for witchies, woowoos, or the religious. They are an integral part of being human. They help us to create meaning, regulate our emotions, create connection with our fellow humans, and even boost productivity.</p><p>I love to use fire when I&#8217;m trying to release something from my life, and fire also plays a big part in the symbolism of the Summer Solstice. The release ritual goes a little something like this: write down what you want to release on a piece of paper, then burn it, visualizing it being carried away. That&#8217;s it! </p><p>Of course, your intention and emotions are incredibly important, so work them up before you start writing. Journal about them, listen to music that lifts your heart, or meditate, visualizing the doors that open when you close this one. Make sure you use positive emotions here - emphasizing the rough stuff will be unhelpful at the least.</p><p>Now that you&#8217;ve released the weight that held you back, it&#8217;s time to call in your renewal and celebrate! If you were to take only one thing from this message, that would be it! </p><p>It&#8217;s not just about having a good time. It&#8217;s freedom you feel in your chest, and gratitude for all that nature has blessed us with. It&#8217;s bonfires and dancing, it&#8217;s sharing that feeling with others, and marking the occasion of your rebirth with bold lines! </p><p>This is hope, gratitude, and celebration - not to be used as an escape - this is the energy of creation and joy!</p><p><em>Don&#8217;t forget to check out today&#8217;s music, crystals, and decks below! </em></p><p><em>If you would like to support my work, you can do so by:</em></p><p>&#128478;&#65039; <a href="https://www.halfcrackedguru.com/subscribe">Becoming a free or paid subscriber</a><br><em> </em>&#10024;<em><a href="https://ko-fi.com/halfcrackedguru/shop">Purchasing a piece of my Intentional Jewelry</a><br></em>&#128302;<em><a href="https://ko-fi.com/halfcrackedguru/commissions">Booking a Reading</a><br></em>&#9749;<em><a href="https://ko-fi.com/halfcrackedguru"> Buying me a coffee on Ko-Fi &#128153;</a></em></p><div><hr></div><p><strong>Take care of yourself, beautiful soul, and take care of your neighbors! &#129653;</strong></p><div><hr></div><h2><strong>I made this &#128525;&#128525;&#128525;</strong></h2><p><a href="https://ko-fi.com/s/c328dc323f">Rebirth Purse Charm | Labradorite, Agate &amp; Tarot | &#8220;Feathered Friends&#8221;</a><br>I created this bag charm to assist you in letting go and building something new in the space that is left with wisdom and curiosity.</p><div id="youtube2-uwGwBWmXhp0" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;uwGwBWmXhp0&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/uwGwBWmXhp0?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://ko-fi.com/s/c328dc323f&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Details in My Shop &#128420;&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://ko-fi.com/s/c328dc323f"><span>Details in My Shop &#128420;</span></a></p><h2><strong>In case you missed some magic &#10024;</strong></h2><p></p><div class="digest-post-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;nodeId&quot;:&quot;f8cd830d-820c-4ac0-9908-dc4f6576a50f&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Today&#8217;s Message from the Universe reminds you that seeds and saplings must be cared for in order to grow strong and bear fruit.&quot;,&quot;cta&quot;:null,&quot;showBylines&quot;:true,&quot;showDescription&quot;:true,&quot;showImage&quot;:true,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;sm&quot;,&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;See How Your Garden Grows!

and saplings must be cared for in order to grow strong and bear fruit.</strong></p><p>Opportunities and current projects/goals are like seedlings that need careful attention if you would like them to grow to their fullest potential. You don&#8217;t want to dig them up every five minutes, but you also don&#8217;t want to just throw them into the wind and hope for the best. </p><p>Do some research, then apply that knowledge while paying attention to how the individual plant reacts to the water and light it is given. There may be some advice or instruction that is universally helpful, but there are always outliers and unknown factors that could affect things a little differently.</p><p>Nurture, observe, tweak, repeat. Make small changes, then give them the proper time to take root before making more changes.

connection. Connection to self in the past, present, and future, as well as the connection to your ancestors, spirit team, Mother Earth, and higher power. While it may contain lots of woo, believing in the woo is not necessary for you to receive this message.</p><h3><strong>We are more connected and disconnected than we have ever been.</strong></h3><p>It may seem like somewhat of a paradox, but we&#8217;re really just not connected to the right things. We know what&#8217;s happening on the other side of the planet, but have no idea what&#8217;s happening in our own communities, and even in our own hearts. We are quick to look upon our bodies, sometimes obsessively, with disappointment and even disgust, while we ignore their cries for rest and help. We rarely think about just how amazing our bodies are!</p><p>How often do we plop ourselves on the couch after a long day, when the world outside our windows is full of things like sunshine and trees that can refresh us and bring peace in a way that nothing else can even compete with? Getting out into nature is also the best way to receive messages from your spirit team, and a great way to tune into your own needs as well. </p><h3><strong>There&#8217;s something here about reconciling your past self with your current self as well.</strong></h3><p>That younger you still exists! They exist in your habits and patterns, and your beliefs about the world around you. Most of all, they exist in the shadows of your mind that are only dark because you simply haven&#8217;t shone a light on them. You may still be protecting yourself in ways that a younger you needed to survive, but they may be hindering your ability to thrive. </p><p>There is also something that your younger self loved immensely that the current you may have forgotten or decided wasn&#8217;t practical or possible. You are now able to revisit it with a new perspective that merges the past with the present to create something lovely in your near future.</p><h3><strong>Our ancestors and lost loved ones are another important part of this message.</strong></h3><p>You may be breaking generational curses, but you should be aware that your ancestors have passed on some amazing things to you as well. Those whom you loved and lost still exist, and there are many ways for you to connect with them! </p><p>Some people believe that cardinals are a sign that a loved one is close, and music can be seen as a message or a way to connect to the love they created in you. Writing them letters or honoring them with rituals and traditions are also great ways to connect, no matter what your beliefs may be.</p><h3><strong>One of the best ways to connect to our mind, body, and spirit is to meditate.</strong></h3><p>Now, before you shut down because you don&#8217;t think you can meditate or think it&#8217;s just some woo-ful ridiculousness, <strong>everyone can do it, and there&#8217;s very real science behind it.</strong> </p><p>One of the biggest things that keeps us from being able to meditate is our expectations. We think we&#8217;re supposed to be able to somehow not have thoughts when we meditate, but not everybody can do that, and almost nobody can do that without a little practice. </p><p>There are many ways to meditate, from focusing on your breath to listening to guided meditations to creating something with your hands. You don&#8217;t  need a special room or crystals, and you can start with just 5 minutes a day. </p><p>Cultivating a meditation practice not only helps you connect to mind, body, and spirit, it brings a tranquility to your day that causes you to have a more peaceful baseline.</p><p>There are endless universes that reside in our stillness, time to do a little exploring!</p><p><em>Don&#8217;t forget to check out today&#8217;s music, crystals, and decks below!</em></p><p><em>If you would like to support my work, you can do so by:</em></p><p>&#128478;&#65039; <a href="https://www.halfcrackedguru.com/subscribe">Becoming a free or paid subscriber</a><br><em> </em>&#10024;<em><a href="https://ko-fi.com/halfcrackedguru/shop">Purchasing a piece of my Intentional Jewelry</a><br></em>&#128302;<em><a href="https://ko-fi.com/halfcrackedguru/commissions">Booking a Reading</a><br></em>&#9749;<em><a href="https://ko-fi.com/halfcrackedguru"> Buying me a coffee on Ko-Fi &#128153;</a></em></p><div><hr></div><p><strong>Take care of yourself, beautiful soul, and take care of your neighbors! &#129653;</strong></p><div><hr></div><h2><strong>I made this &#128525;&#128525;&#128525;</strong></h2><div id="youtube2-DqdTv6nsLOU" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;DqdTv6nsLOU&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/DqdTv6nsLOU?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://ko-fi.com/s/ef76c25e1c&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Visit My Shop &#128420;&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://ko-fi.com/s/ef76c25e1c"><span>Visit My Shop &#128420;</span></a></p><h2><strong>In case you missed some magic &#10024;</strong></h2><div class="digest-post-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;nodeId&quot;:&quot;3330bc05-d7c9-4e83-85cf-79435dc5d0ab&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;HellooooooooBeautiful Soul!!&quot;,&quot;cta&quot;:null,&quot;showBylines&quot;:true,&quot;showDescription&quot;:true,&quot;showImage&quot;:true,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;sm&quot;,&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Strange Nature: The Bone Collector!
