I got a 30 Days of Intentions card set from @gratitudeglassjars. I'll be using and sharing them as I reconnect and get honest with myself. 
What is a value? Oxford Languages defines values as: 
noun
plural noun: values

1. the regard that something is held to deserve; the importance, worth, or usefulness of something.
   "your support is of great value"
2. a person's principles or standards of behavior; one's judgment of what is important in life.
   "they internalize their parents' rules and values"

What do I value? Myself. I value myself as something held to deserve; the importance, worth, or usefulness of something. As a brown woman building a business based on mysticism, I’m shown in more ways than one that I am not valuable. Where I disrupt this pattern is being the only authority of my value necessary. 
As an individual, you don’t need to seek other’s validation for your worth.  
As a collective, you’re here to show others what they’re worth by investing your trust in them. 
Thank you for trusting me with your energy. 
What do you value?

My family is reading this awesome book Charlie Hernandez and The Castle of Bones by Ryan Calejo. It was a gift to my son but we read it as a family and we. are. hooked. There were many late nights that my son and I stayed up late reading chapter after chapter from the first book of what I hope is a lengthy series. The books are full of magic,  mystery, and suspense. As I sneakily read ahead, I came upon this quote.

This quote is so fitting for everyone. How many times have you had an idea that you absolutely knew you needed to share with the world? Now how many of you analyzed, criticized, and diminished that idea in the pursuit of perfection to the point that you deflated all the energy from it?

You (and all of your creations) are perfect as is. Period. 

The curse of comparison is real. It will keep you from making the exponential progress you envision. Perfection is in progress. 

All you need is to come as you are. Get out of your way by anchoring yourself in your heart and let that be your guide. 

Are you looking to re-establish your connection with your native guidance system? Use the Book Now button up top to book a 15 minute consultation with me to see if we are an energetic match. 

Archetypes. We are all playing characters/roles, alternating through a cast as the situation/scene changes. Every role is neutral. It is the influence or energy infused into the role that impresses upon it a tipping of the scale to light vs shadow or good vs bad.

I asked the deck, which archetypes do I need to be aware of this coming week? I got the Shape Shifter reversed.

A shape shifter in its highest expression of the energy is in the flow, agile, diverse. They are grounded and skilled at navigating through the ebbs and flows of consciousness for the greatest outcome. They are a chameleon but no matter what, they know who they are. They're merely playing with the variables to surface the untapped potential.

In it's lowest expression, a shape shifter is not grounded. They barely know what they want. They're shape shifting to avoid and to hide the truth of who they are. It is possible they don't know who they are so they don't know how to align to their Highest Self. They float along, fickle in their objectives. Serving their goals and not themselves. They align to an idea, a thought. Ya should align to that badass within. Just sayin....

Whether in yourself or in others, have you seen this archetype before?
​
I know I have. I guess you could say this was/is me. Not identifying with my purpose, I tend to align with a thought or an idea. But those are fleeting! When I am aligned to a part of me, the undeniable part of me that is me 100% 24/7, it is simply unquestionable. I know when I've strayed or become distant and can navigate my way back. It's this strong connection with my "home" that keeps me from getting totally lost. When I feel doubt or panic, I've lost sight of who I am. I start to veer towards people pleasing. People pleasing sucks because you're compromising yourself for success. Well I ain't hear for everybody and neither are you! The more comfortable we get with that, the happier we can be. To know who you're here for (clue: it's yourself), the better we get at shape shifting for our highest and greatest good.

So here I am, no make up, hair undone, t-shirt, and bags under my eyes to tell you....it doesn't matter what you look like or how you style it. The people (your people) that need to hear your message are going to listen because it resonates with their soul. Not because ya used a fritty color or some fritty font or some fritty picture. It's because they are an energetic match. Period.
