rooted in patience, rising in presence 🕊

Hi bestie boops! Ok this is simply too good to ignore but for those of my readers that are into the witchy spiritual juiciness of life, I shared on my stories last week that the new year oracle cards I pulled were the EXACT same two cards I pulled just 3 days before that and that is way too freaky considering the messaging having been beyond accurate AND THEN… from my favourite deck I continue to pull the same card that encourages you to step fully into your most authentic self and share your gifts and weirdness with no more hiding in the most beautiful bright shiny way and so it’s kiiiiiiiiiind of sounding like this year is going to be a lot of simply sarah….

The way my brand embodies simplicity is perhaps a paradox in itself (I’m a slut for paradoxes these days?!?!) because one might think simple means easy, or that there are not many layers to this lifestyle I’m leading however, so sorry to whoever one is because I feel like my life and my soul has more layers than 100 onions 🧅 and there are so many beautifully intertwined concepts within it all that makes it the mosaic that IT IS….. but at the core of it all I simply follow what feels in alignment and the practices I hold to follow that intuition and authenticity are quite simple. It has taken me quite some time to navigate this and by no means am I at some perceived destination because like I explained to someone recently, I feel like it’s so fun once you create a vision for your life or are reaching for certain goals because by the time you get like halfway to it, you already moved the end point further for more expansion and so truly, once you’re in the space of seeking growth you never actually “arrive” anywhere. That’s not to say though that the many past versions of yourself that you will grow from won’t be beyond proud every step of the way because the way that I’ve been looking at that recently has been so cute and beautiful… I can look back a few years ago maybe to when I moved to vancouver and I am in actual disbelief of what my life looks like right now compared to maybe what I thought I was capable of at that time.. 🧚🏼 or 2 years ago when I started dreaming up and getting clearer on what it is I was wanting to create and how magical it is that I have grown to where I am now. AND THEN I could also put myself back to even just 6 months ago and my mind is still blown… I’m not even kidding but that’s also having done a deep dive into all the parts of me and facing many shadows and patterns and cycles in my life which most of us are pretty fearful to do, so don’t even think about bringing comparison into the chat if you are looking at a larger time gap and have seen smaller shifts within yourself… because I’m gunna go ahead and bet that you’d actually be quite proud of yourself if you started to look back and admire this journey you’ve been on 🥹… anyway back to me lol.. this is my blog. My point of that being that if you’re someone who strives to continue to evolve, don’t get so caught up on arriving at a certain point because as you embody the things that you want to become along the way, before you know it you’ll literally be that version of you and she (or he) has already envisioned their next era. 

I think there are a few really important pieces to this that I’m learning hard and fast and one of them is that, like my cards continue to remind me of is that it’s absolutely imperative that you come out of hiding and stand in your authenticity. Embrace who you really are and shed the layers of who you think the world needs you to be because that’s not serving fricking anyone?!? at all!!!! And it takes time, and grace with yourself because unravelling those layers that you’ve built up over time requires a lot of honesty and accountability, to allow yourself to admit where you’ve taken on beliefs or thoughts that don’t align with your true self, where you might have betrayed yourself a little along the way thinking that others might have needed a different version of you… that’s really hard to do 🥹 because it means getting REAL fkn honest with yourself but guess what mi amor.… your dreams absolutely depend on it. And I don’t think you’d be here reading this if you didn’t have a slight nudge from your inner voice telling you that they’re waiting for you to start creating. 

Another really reaaaaaalllly important piece is patience. Paired with presence. Which tbh I’ve found QUITE challenging and I’ve got a ways to go but I do know that I’ve come a long way in this space. Dare I offer up another beautiful paradox but while you’re in the process of working towards the life of your dreams or creating whatever it is you’re wanting to create in this lifetime, all you really ever have is the present moment, and if you’re not careful you will completely miss it while dreaming up the future moments (or past ones…our brains like to live there too lol ⚠️ danger  ⚠️) that don’t actually even exist yet 🥲 and it takes conscious effort and reminders of self to stay grounded, stay present and live with intention every moment of the day so you can actually enjoy the process of becoming. Aw that sounded so cute but it’s so true hey!!! I suppose that’s the beauty of this lifetime and how short we perceive it to be because you really don’t ever know how long you have, the only certain thing in your life is that it will end at some point...hahahah dark but is it though, if it’s just a blatant truth!? Not even a secret but it’s also what I keep saying about how much sense it makes that animals don’t live as long as we do because they really are here to show us unconditional love if you choose them as companions and therefore if they lived for our whole lifetimes, we would simply take that love for granted but let it also be a reminder that your life is just as precious and PERSONALLY I’m not tryna be one of those old dying people saying that their only regret is not actually LIVING LOL….. 

Anywho that went deep quick but hmm, the way I intended to go in a different direction with this entire post but alas, proving myself to be a wild little stream of consciousness just channelling whatever my fingers decide to tap tap along on this keyboard… I guess my intention here is to share with you that this year I plan on continuing to fully embody my personal brand in a way that I have been dreaaaaming up for a few years now, and turning it into something magical and a few of the tips on how I plan to do that… I absolutely adore bringing you along on this journey as I share my human experience with whichever wonderful souls are reading this hahahaha omg wait I just saw a meme today that was like “I wish i could be mysterious and nonchalant but instead I’m these two” and it was a pic of donkey from shrek and also sid the sloth from ice age and the way I laughed. out. loud. because SAME HAHA you know I love to yap about what we’re all doing here and there’s nothing mysterious about me 😂🤭

Okay maaaaaybe next one I’ll share some beautiful revelations about what 2024 taught me but probably not hahahha ilysm thank you for being here

xx Sarah
