I’m not one to typically wish for time to pass quickly. I’m actually trying to keep my focus and thoughts on the present and live more in the moment. But 2018 has been one hell of a year for me. Not only did I lose the love of my life, I also recently lost my job when it was eliminated. I’ve had so many signs from the Universe this year that I’ve been forced to listen – and surrender and surrender more.
Early this year as I struggled with the pain of loss, I cracked open Gabby Bernstein’s book The Universe has your back. It changed my life. Her explanation of the Universe, basically the law of attraction and how our thoughts help determine our future. It was also, at it’s core, about how to find meaning in life and suffering – specifically how to surrender to a higher power. I’ve told as many people as I can about this book and how impactful it can be regardless of what you’re facing in life.
While in some ways Gabby and her book saved me, it gave me the tools and broader perspective on life to move forward and trust a higher power in my life. It was no coincidence that I had also returned to Mass at the beginning of the year. I yearned for unconditional love and support and it was God/the Universe who gave it to me.
Regardless of who your higher power is (and if you even believe in one) find a power like the Universe and let go and surrender. Know that you’re not only being guided and supported, but when you feel your weakest and unsure of how to move forward – the Universe will catch you and carry you. You may not know it at the time, but as you heal, you’ll know…You’re right where you need to be.
Today is also a New moon in Libra. Every new moon is a time to set intentions for the coming lunar cycles. It’s a little like setting New Year’s intentions, but new moon intentions can be as simple as what you want to accomplish in the next month. Take advantage of this energy!
For me, I’m setting the intention to meditate on the higher good instead of on a specific outcome I want in a situation. I’m also setting the intention to plan my coming Women’s Holiday Circle and helping women find their inner badass. Drop me a note at bcappa@comcast.net if you want to learn more or sign up.
What are you manifesting during this new moon?
