Being more you, new ways of seeing things, and firsts.



MONTHLY REMINDER

Remember...who you are.

Your authentic self has always been present; dimmed maybe, shrunken perhaps, but always there.

REFLECTION PROMPTS:

  • Who was I before the world told me who I 'should' be?
  • What outdated layers am I shedding?
  • How will I be more Reader, today?

SEPTEMBER'S REFLECTION PROMPT

In September, I will channel the energy of the colour...

I will begin today by...

(Get specific: think shades, hues, tint, tone, vibrancy etc. for example, cerise, coral, and bubblegum are types of pink, but each exudes a different spirit)


2 QUOTES WORTH PONDERING

1. A beautiful grief poem by David Romano:

When tomorrow starts without me
And I’m not here to see
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me
I wish you wouldn’t cry
The way you did today
While thinking of the many things
We didn’t get to say
I know how much you love me
As much as I love you
Each time that you think of me
I know you’ll miss me too
When tomorrow starts without me
Please try to understand
That an angel came and called my name
And took me by the hand
The angel said my place was ready
In Heaven far above
And That I would have to leave behind
All those I dearly love
But when I walked through Heaven’s Gates
I felt so much at home
When GOD looked down and smiled at me
From his golden throne
He said This Is Eternity
And all I promised you
Today your life on earth is done
But here it starts a new
I promise no tomorrow
For today will always last
And since each day’s the exact same way
There is no longing for the past
So when tomorrow starts without me
Do not think we’re apart
For every time you think of me
Remember I’m right here in your heart.

REFLECTION PROMPTS:

  • What, from the poem, is calling my attention?

2. American novelist, Henry Miller, on 'arriving' and perspective:

"One's destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things."

REFLECTION PROMPTS:

  • What do I see differently?
  • How has my journey transformed me along the way?

MONTHLY REMINDER Reader, you don’t need a sign—you are the signal. There is power in choosing yourself, in declaring the reset, in deciding this is the moment. Let July be the permission slip you write with your own hand to begin again, to course-correct. Mid-year is not too late, too far gone, or too messy. It’s a doorway. Step through as many times as you need. REFLECTION PROMPTS: Where in my life do I crave a fresh beginning, no permission required? What would I do differently if I truly...

MONTHLY REMINDER Reader, your intuition is a gift, not a glitch. That quiet knowing, that gentle tug, that whisper you almost ignored—it’s not a malfunction, it’s a message. Trust the parts of you that sense the shift before there’s proof; they were built to guide you home. REFLECTION PROMPTS: When was the last time I trusted myself without needing to explain why? What signals does my intuition use to speak to me—and do I honour them? What would change if I treated my inner knowing as sacred,...
