My collection of vintage home decor and trinkets, all ready to go for my first live auction show on Whatnot next week.

I don’t know why, but I stick to the same walking path, down a main road with a sidewalk and a lot of traffic. It’s popular.

Today as I began my journey, I abruptly stopped before turning in the direction of my normal route and something told me to turn the other way instead. In the opposite direction of my usual path is a trail to a lake. About a 10 minute walk from my home, a serene body of water waited for me to notice her.

Why have I never walked this way before? Why did I follow the same path everyone else used by default? Even though it was loud and busy, It’s just what I knew.

Of course I had known that the lake was nearby, its one of the reasons I moved here, but I was so blinded by my comfort that I wasn’t able to notice what was here the entire time. Or maybe I was aligned to a frequency that matched the chaotic road instead.

I think I hit a record for the number of books I read in one year. While my goal was twelve, I’m proud of myself for getting in eight, especially with the crazy year that I had. In this post, I’m basically just reflecting on each book, the lesson it taught me, and how it shaped me as a person.

Hi, I opened an Etsy shop to sell stuff from my vintage collection. ♡

However I don’t think strength is the trait I’ve been missing, rather I’ve been clinging onto the illusion that I’m in control.

I know better than anyone that God doesn’t care about the plans we have for ourselves.

The unknown that awaits us on the other side is only guaranteed to be one thing - unexpected. While we all pray for miracles, sometimes our blessings can be disguised.

I noticed I have some new followers so I wanted to say hi! I haven’t been writing much because I’ve been in a retrograde funk, but it happens!

If you’re interested, I write stuff here- mostly contemplations on my healing journey and astrology for spiritual and personal development.

I plan on writing a post soon about the upcoming full moon in Aquarius, so keep an eye out for that.

:)

The Full Moon in Capricorn on July 10th, 2025 shines a light on our responsibilities, commitments, and where we’re directing our energy. We’re being asked to reflect on our goals, the work that we do, and the meaning behind it.

Wrapped in the arms of Uranus’s recent shift into Gemini and Saturn’s pending retrograde in Aries, this lunation reminds us how powerful it can be to realign our ambition with our soul’s desire. This union with our higher selves is our guiding light as we navigate the current astrological waves...

Don’t wait until the last minute to write while under the energy of the full moon.

The Aztecs discovered this mysterious city, built by people who had come centuries before them. Teotihuacán may have been their offering to the gods—and unknowingly, an offering to those of us who would arrive generations later. This is my story of visiting a sacred site once known to my ancestors as a portal to the spiritual realms, and now known to me as a portal to them.

A sweet visitation from the other side. 🕊️
