Greetings Readers!

It’s been a hell of a week and it’s only Wednesday. Feelings of confusion, discord, and dis-ease are in the air thanks to planetary aspects like Mercury Retrograde. In moments like this, it’s important to ground ourselves in the truth. The truth is that in each moment we have the option to choose how we respond to our surroundings. We can choose thoughts and practices that foster feelings of confusion, discord, and dis-ease or we can choose to shift our focus to bring about a better condition.

Thought often precedes emotion. Therefore heavy, negative thoughts invite in heavy emotion. While peaceful thoughts lead to peaceful emotional states. Ahh, the wonders of the human condition! May our thoughts call in peace and balance today.

In need of inspiration, join me on my social media platforms as I share quotes from the holy Odu via the series ‘20 Days of Odu Ifa’. Hope to see you there!

It's a Miracle!

For the next few months, I will choose cards from the African American Tarot deck as a prompt for my blog posts. Let’s see what spiritual insight I come up with!

10 of Swords + 3 of Swords + 6 of Swords

Oh boy. First of all, let me just say that I’m sorry. This energy is heavy. It’s filled with contention, depression, feelings of betrayal, and defeat. Some of you are going through an extremely tough time or are about to. Such is life. We cannot know the feeling of joy without the feeling of despair. Are you arguing with someone? Fighting over resources? Has a lover broken your heart, yet again? Whatever it is, know this. This too shall pass. You are moving through this energy of discord and peace is on the horizon. It may not feel that way but I promise it’s true.

The cards indicate that there is a way you can leave all this negativity behind. Are you ready to hear the message?

Leave behind negative, heavy thinking. Our thoughts can exacerbate situations. Making them better or worse. I write this from experience. Stop looking at that person or situation as the enemy. Look at the world through rose-colored glasses. Look at the world and your experiences through the lens of love. For some of you that may sound impossible. Just a couple of weeks ago I would have felt the same. And then something miraculous happened as I sat before my father Ela. He told me I needed to chill. He told me, through Odu, that sometimes people act out and hurt us because of their own troubling experiences. In that moment, compassion flooded my body in a way that it never has before. Instantly my anger and resentment melted away. I stopped thinking negatively about my situation. Instead, I am sending love and I will receive love in return. Shift your thinking, shift your situation.

You got this!
