august's mood
the mood for this month is restructuring.
re·struc·tur·ing /rēˈstrək(t)SHəriNG/ a reorganization of a company with a view to achieving greater efficiency and profit, or to adapt to a changing market.
August, the eighth month of the year, represents new beginnings and is spiritually connected to material wealth and abundance. This is very on point as it relates to the flow of my life and all that is happening in and around me. Coming out of July, a month of so much change and surrender, I am looking forward to August and all that it has for me. It has become very evident that I am exactly where I need to be and no mistakes have been made when it comes to this journey that I am on.
Spiritually, I have been experiencing a great deal of warfare and opposition. I had to face my fears and limiting beliefs head-on. This was an intense and painful experience but I am grateful because it’s an indication of greatness. As I am writing this, I am noticing a theme in my life — every three years I am being called higher and in turn experience some form of hardship that acts as an agent to shape me into who I am called to become. The number 3 represents growth, inspiration, inner guidance, and manifestation. Three years ago this month in 2018, was when I was called to begin my spiritual journey, and three years before that in 2015, I was called to make a shift in my life as well. I am a firm believer in signs and synchronicities so this revelation brings me great joy and confirms that all that I have been through was not and will not be in vain.
As I step into this new month I am walking in with a fresh perspective. I am taking everything that comes my way one day at a time and allowing my life to unfold instead of forcing things. God has revealed to me the need to restructure not only my life but my thoughts about how my life should play out. Although I am not a fan of the current system that we live by, it has become apparent that I need to utilize it to my benefit as I wait for my circumstance to become what I am dreaming of.
I serve a God of process and I would be remiss to think that I can evade the painful steps in the process of who I am becoming. Truthfully, I have fallen into the trendy “manifestation” trap on the interwebs — while I believe in manifestation and have had the pleasure to experience it, the ways in which it is portrayed on the internet is not how things actually work. There is no quick way to manifest, you have to become the person deserving of what you want or are asking for which is a process that can take time. I am now refocusing my energy on trusting the process and resting on the fact that all the work I am doing will reap its reward in due time.
I am calling this restructuring season the “SLOW GRIND” and reminding myself that anything worth having and keeping takes time to build. I don’t want any microwave blessings I want the real deal crockpot slow-cooked version lol. This may not be sexy or trendy but I’m okay with forgoing instant gratification for building a life and legacy that lasts beyond my existence.
& so it is — xx Six.
