Cycles and reflections.

A friend and I were talking the other day about the challenges we have been moving through in the past while and how every one we know has been going through their own challenges of late. She told me something about an 18 month cycle that will be coming to completion soon astrologically and it reminded me of an astrology session she had gifted me with her astrologer a few years back.

I remember her talking about these 18 month cycles and what they would be like for me and taking notes about it. So, I came home and started to search to find the journal I took notes in during that session session.

In that same journal I took notes from a gifted human design session. That happened within a few weeks of that session. (Also, so grateful to have been gifted both of these sessions!)

I have a dozen or so journals on my desk/in my office. One of the bonuses of selling journals is that I always had plenty around to use.

In some seasons of life, I would aim to keep them separate or deligated for certain things. I would have one for client notes. One for notes from podcast sessions. One for my own journaling. One for plotting, planning, and figuring things out like budgets and action items.

And often times they would end of cross pollinating. I don’t recall throwing any of them out.

This morning I picked up one and paged through and while I didn’t find the notes I was looking for, it was very special to observe the things I have done, the people I have served, the dreams I set into motion over the past few years.

I saw proclamations to myself about selling my first book with the book proposal I was working on at the time. Which I did do!

I saw notes from working with many private clients.

I saw notes from many amazing podcast guests.

I saw product inventory counts for items I no longer carry.

I saw affirmations I had written to support me during different seasons.

I have yet to find those notes but wow, I am grateful for that space of reflection.

For that space to look at things I set out to do and did do.

For that space to read through plans and dreams that I haven’t really pursued yet.

For that space to remember the many humans I have held and supported.

For that space to remember all the many people I have been lucky to have deep, open conversations with.

I am not really someone who re-reads journal entries. I write to get it out, to process, to dream, to move through feelings, to vision. And rarely do I read what I write. And yet, I don’t know if I have ever thrown a journal out.

Today, I nudge you to look back at your internal and/or written journals. Remember what you have done, look at how you have grown and evolved. Whether you have journaled or not, look back at your life. Look through photos. Let yourself celebrate who you are.

And also let yourself acknowledge the cycles, the chapters, the seasons of life it self and your own life.

A new one is just around the bend. Claim it for what you want.

Tricia
