Blocked But Positive Me
Today's dominant theme seems to be being blocked, in every possible way: creatively, spiritually, organizationally, even intestinally. It's discouraging.
But there are signs everywhere that I need to use this feeling of blockage as a moment to teach myself to move through those feelings to a clearer, more fulfilled place. The first T-shirt I pulled out of the closet this morning was printed with the legend DO BETTER. During morning devotional the Bible opened to Matthew 23, which is all about woe on the hypocrites; reading it, my mind went immediately to the need to see things differently. (And at this moment it recalls yesterday's cocktail conversation with a new friend who explained the danger of a "one-story narrative" and the need to hear more than one point of view.)
Today's horoscopes are full of prudent advice for me, such as: Watch your thoughts...notice how your thoughts affect your energy. A negative thought will weigh you down while a positive thought will lift you up...[challenge:] to find wisdom in our actions." (Gold River Astrology) Also advice to relax the mind, compromise, accommodate -- not be so rigid.
I needed to receive this guidance at the start of the day, and I'm grateful I did. Already I am refraining from holding on mentally to bad news in the papers, and refraining from commenting! Today I am making my citrine pendant a talisman for positivity. Citrine enhances creative imagination (and I need that today), mental clarity, and manifestion through the will -- all things that can keep me on an even keel today.
This citrine pendant is like a spot of liquid sunshine. As soon as I saw the dealer's photo online I knew it would be mine. Even though, as it happens, it might not be a real citrine but baked amethyst, it has come to me at the right time, and I love having it and wearing it. Soon, I will be wearing it at the beach!
