I've been trying to learn this lesson for many years, but I guess now is the time that the Universe *really* wants me to remember it.
First, my calendar page for August had this quote on it:
Instead of laying down a list of expectation for what your life should be, you can participate in the ongoing discovery of what your life was meant to be. ~ Thomas Kinkade
Then, a friend on Facebook shared the following image with her thoughts:
This shift in thinking helped me ... shift how I approach my work.
It shifted me away from goals and towards trajectory and curation. Curation is gentle. It shifts with circumstances and allows one to continue with the work regardless of how people treat you, regardless of circumstance.
Curating with loving intention. That doesn’t mean always gentle. It does mean finding a way back to love over and over. It does mean focusing on what I can create rather than what others are or are not doing.
Sometimes love looks like defending the vulnerable, standing up for the oppressed, and speaking truth when it isn’t comfortable.

And today, reading emails from the last two weeks, I find this pdf coloring page from Amy at the Coloring Book of Shadows, a 3-card, reflection tarot reading for Lughnasadh:
- Sacrifice: What haven't I received that is a blessing in disguise?
- Patience: What is worth waiting for?
- Gratitude: How can I find peace in what I already have?

Is the Universe sending any messages your way?
