I woke up at 9am with the intent to take myself out of my comfort zone and to finally create a Video and upload it to youtube. I’ve been wanting to create videos for about a year now and haven’t followed through with it. At first I kept saying it was because I hate my voice and as much as I am not fond of the voice I have, it is indeed the only Voice I can express 
It took me about 5 hours to finally work up to getting my Video Cam up and on and attempting to make this video. I spent the next hour trying and stopping. Recording then stopping. I have been so blocked on this that I am beyond frustrated. Digging Deeper I now realize that it isn’t really my Voice that I have battles with but knowing that by putting myself out into the universe and for many to see that I will experience the critique of others in a more public way. I will not stop until I get this video completed and my voice out there and my comfort zone violated by my own accord. It’s now 11pm and I’ve really tried all day to get this post on Video but everything that I’ve worked on has not been to my standard and have deleted everything. At least I tried, right? Will try again for something different tomorrow!
So let’s get to it shall we? Today’s Inspiration comes from the Wisdom of the House of Night oracle deck. I shuffled the deck focusing on a message that was needed. A Message that can assist all who come to it and one that would bring the most growth from it. The Card that came forth is card 27 – Hope. A rather fitting card considering a lot of the experiences that many of us have been going through lately. The book says:
“When you choose the symbol of Hope, know that no matter what temporary setbacks there may be in your life now, light will return again.”
You may be going through a shitload of challenges right now. You may have people or situations that are going against what you desire, in a way that is increasingly overwhelming, leaving you feeling slightly helpless and lost in your own personal darkness. What I am being asked to express right now is for you to slow down. To embrace the challenges and to shift your awareness of them. You are focusing so much on how hard they are and how you have it so bad because of this (whatever it is) situation that you have lost sight of the simple truth. That truth is, you are currently where you have chosen to be. The experiences that you are going through, the people that are annoying you, everything that is occurring right now is something that you are choosing to allow to happen. In walks Hope. Do you see the light? That glimmer? Choice. Everything is choice. Choice is that bright light, that shining moon out of your personal darkness.
Basically, pull your head out of your ass and know that if you want something to change, if you want to experience differently then you are going to have to CHOOSE differently. Allow Hope into your thoughts, your heart and allow it to pierce through your current situation. Once you do this you automatically shift the energy that you are bringing into reality and you start to eradicate the feelings of helplessness and struggle. Honor exactly where you are. Don’t deny the challenges, the hurt, the pain or the perceived negative/darker aspects of your life. Don’t deny who you are when these things arise. Honor them, allow them to be your experience for as long as you need but always keep at the back of your mind that you have this light, this moon shining bright at the back of your experience and this moon holds within it, the ability to choose. It IS Choice. In this message, Hope IS Choice.
So when you say that work is tearing you down, that someone is standing in your way from achieving something. That life seems to be kicking you while you are down. KNOW.. I mean really Know.. that all of those things while may be needed right now for some reason are choices that are able to be wiped away when you decide for that to happen. When you make up your mind that you truly wish to experience differently, Hope has entered and you are ready to take action.
There is always a way out of Darkness and sometimes that is facing your personal darkness and embracing it, allowing the light that you seek to shine and to bring balance to your life.
So take some time to look at the card. Think about what is being said here. How does this fit in with your current experience and what can you do to change the things that don’t represent where you desire to head in life?
