What if you were wrong? What if everything you ever believed was a lie? What if you missed your opportunity because you didn’t know your worth? What if you settled on familiar, but God was trying to give you something better? What if you decided not to go backwards, but forward? What if doing what you have never done before was the answer to everything that didn’t make sense? What if the answer wasn’t to be found in words, but in action? What if you found the courage to do what you really wanted to do and doing it changed your whole life?

Hello, Lovelies!
This Quarter I am using the Sacred Destiny Oracle by Denise Linn for my weekly oracle readings.
Our card to guide us for the week ahead is VOYAGE.
2024 is a year for fresh starts, for creativity, healing and social connection. It’s a year for ambitious projects and for getting stuff done.
September is a month for healing the past, for moving beyond your old hurts and insecurities, and for creating changes that will lead to your life feeling and working better.
VOYAGE
This week your own wise soul will speak loudly and clearly to you. It will help you to see what direction you need to travel next. Or if you need to stop and rest first. Your job is to listen, truly listen, and then act! There are dreams within you waiting patiently to be expressed, to be lived, to be created. Things that will give your life purpose and meaning. Things that will help you to reinvent yourself, or become alive again.
VOYAGE is a beautifully encouraging card for the week ahead.
This week the veil will be thin between your conscious mind and your soul wisdom. Expect to be inspired. Expect to hear the whisperings of your heart. Expect to have sudden ideas or desires make themselves clear to you.
It’s a week where you can go from lost to found, from stuck to moving forward, from directionless to focused, from uncertain to committed.
All you need to do is tune in. Listen. Pay attention.
The signs will be clear. Your own inner voice will be loud.
The Universe may also be less than subtle in getting a helpful message to you.
All you need to do is listen. And then say YES.
Life is too short, and too precious, to spend it being miserable. This week let your heart guide you to find your own purpose and happy place.
VOYAGE also lets you know that at the core of who you are you are as beautiful, worthy and deserving as you ever were, as the innocent baby you were coming into this life with your cherished dreams and hopes and this lifetime stretching out in front of you.
What matters is that you are here. What matters is that you can slow down enough to truly inhabit this moment. That’s what stretches time out like magic. That’s where all your power is. Right here. Right now. With every breath.
It’s okay to feel lost. That happens sometimes. When you are in pain, when you are run down or overwhelmed, or sleep deprived, or hanging on by your fingertips it can be easy to lose sight of the goodness in you, the talents and gifts and dreams inside you.
If you want to change, it’s still possible.
If you want to do something that counts, it’s still possible.
All you ever need to do is live in the moment. One moment at a time.
Then trust. Because your wise self will always know what to do in that present, precious moment.
My Top Tip For The Week Ahead
Don’t get stuck in your head this week. Slow down. Breathe. Then slow down some more. Bring yourself back into your body. Look around you with the curiosity and wonder of a child. Be right here. Right now. Anchor that moment. Then anchor another with your mindfulness. Remind yourself how amazing it all is.
Because it is. And so are you, my love. So are you.
Crystals to support you this week – Carnelian, Smoky Quartz, Fire Quartz, Pearls, Mookaite, Malachite
I thought it was a beautiful validation from the Universe that today’s card is filled with whales, right as Ben and I head off to Alaska. May we see many of them on this trip!
I love the gift that travel gives you – of distance from your regular life, and your regular self. It gifts you space and time to breathe, to sleep, to think and reassess. For me travel is always as much an inner journey as an outer one.
I’m sleeping with a notebook beside me, because a couple of times a night I wake up filled with ideas. Past experience has shown me that I will never remember the ideas when I wake up the next morning, so I scribble away in the darkness and then slide back to sleep again.
My stories are unravelling the knots where I was stuck.
I’ve found a new enthusiasm for a couple of ideas for my students that I shelved long ago, and I have hammered out the details already over early morning mugs of tea.
And more importantly I have found clarity, healing and understanding around some issues that I’ve been dragging around for decades.
Sokli is with me on this trip, and as a mystic I have enjoyed getting in touch with the deeper energies of place at each of our destinations. I am reminded again and again that there is a wonderful and magical world right at our feet and all around us.
Wishing you a touch of that magic for your week ahead too. Go embrace your dreams. I believe in you!
Much love, Nicole xx

I felt a short mantra after reading this and it is floating happily in my head:
