What a week!

Exciting, Joyous, Painful, and Disparaging all at once. A very distinct roller coaster of emotions. I feel like my week started on an extreme high note, to an extreme low note, and is kinda floating in a middle point at the moment. 

Is it a collective thing? I would say it is. Lots of highs and lows came about this week. The key is to process the lows, and motivate with the highs. Feeling is part of the human experience, you can't just shove it all down the tubes for another day- as there will be a clog eventually. 

The other thing I myself have noticed is a distinct shift toward appetite. Mostly a down shift toward not wanting as much food and/or feeling less desire toward "unhealthier foods." Alicia has been only stomaching smaller amounts that would be usual for a "kiddie" menu. So if you're feeling a shift toward food and appetite- there may be a message in there for you. 

Do I think these energy shifts are going away soon? Maybe. It depends on each individual. Pay attention to what your body and mind is bringing forward. Integrate the personal lesson. 

I am being pushed more toward taking care of myself and making more time for things that will enhance my human experience. While I have gone through a loss this week (of beloved and favored Everette), I do realize it was his time to cross the rainbow bridge and allow more time for myself as a result. Selfish, I know, but part of the transition- as much of my time was devoted to him to ensure he had the best ferret experience as possible. Now it's time for me to give that love back to myself. Small steps and tiny growth (picture of a small seedling from my apartment gardening for example). 

I hope you all continue forward to make life better for yourself and those around you. This weekend's energy from my pick a card readings that I post on Twitter and Instagram- really push for compassion. Life is difficult already, there's no need to make it any harder than it is.
