Musings of The AlcheMystic

You know how I say that when we work on manifesting something it may arrive differently than we expect it to? It may come via an avenue we did not know existed or it might look completely different than anticipated.

Well, I experienced a ridiculous example of exactly this. I was playing one of the word games I play every morning. I got to spin the lucky wheel to win different kinds of clues. Of course I focused on winning 1000 gems because, well, 1000 was the biggest number on the screen. My heart sank a little (ok, that might be a little dramatic) when the wheel stopped at 10 lightbulbs. I mean, who would be happy with 10 when one is lusting after 1000? Then it dawned on me. I had been given exactly what I wanted!

In this game, 10 lightbulbs equals 1000 gems.

Yes, this is a silly example but I have experienced this in more meaningful ways in the past. Today’s reminder has me looking around and asking myself if there is anything that I am overlooking and not appreciating because it is a gem disguised as a lightbulb. How about you?

Not only are we 20 days into the new year, January is almost done!

How are you feeling in terms of the new year?

Are you still feeling the promise of newness January offers? Or, does it just register as another month, another week, another day?

For those who set intentions, resolutions, goals or whatever word resonates with you, are you feeling good about them? Or are you rolling your eyes?

January has always been a transitional month to me. Some view the Spring Equinox (March 20) as the beginning of the new year. This is also when we move into Aries, the first astrological sign of the zodiac. This resonates with me.

So, if like me, you find yourself thinking, "Holy shit, how are we already more than halfway through January? I've still got so much to do!!!"

✨Pause

✨Feel your feet flat on the floor

✨Take 3 deep breaths

✨Connect with the Universe, God, Source

✨Feel the vastness of space AND time

...and KNOW and FEEL that you have the time that you want and need. Your timing is perfect regardless of what your calendar tells you.

Allow this sense of calmness to carry through the rest of your day.
