Happy Birthday, Carla! Hope you're having the happiest 33rd in heaven. 🌟 Looking at old photos feels like another lifetime. Thank you for the friendship. 🤗 I'll take the good times with me always. 💗

Raining synchronicities. Segue: On an unrelated note, I sat through a marathon of The Matrix trilogy last weekend. I thought I understood it the first time I watched all 3 films, but apparently, I didn't. (Sorry not sorry I'm only human. 😂😂) All this hooha about Neo being the One and humanity's salvation is just like anything in The Matrix, a part of an equation that's been running smoothly for many cycles. And it would've continued that way until one part of the equation wanted change. The Oracle, I believe, is the real star of the show. She strategically planted seeds here and there based on her exceptional understanding of the human psyche and the black-and-white perception of the programs and the Architect, never knowing the exact outcome, but played a dangerous gamble that could either lead to her desired outcome or the destruction of all. She's clever, that Oracle. Anyway, I could go on and on about "life lessons I learned from the Matrix Trilogy", but nobody would read a monologue on this topic. My biggest take-away is the Oracle's strategy of injecting change in small doses.✌ 🦋🦋🦋 Seraph: Did you always know? The Oracle: Oh, no. No, I didn’t. But I believed. I believed.

I had a lot of grand ideas. I still do. Ideas of helping to change the world, ideas to make a difference. But the past two years have shown me that change always needs to start from within. If I wanted to contribute to something greater, something noble, I needed to become the best version of myself. And to become the best version of myself, I needed to let go of patterns, behavior, beliefs, people, and relationships that aren't serving my highest good. What I discovered in this journey, is that inner work is a constant process. Sometimes painful and trigerring, forcing you to deal with your shadow self, and other times leading to surprising epiphanies and eureka moments. But that doesn't and must never stop one from doing whatever bit of good they can at present, even if it benefits just yourself and/or one other person, your family and friends, your community, your soul tribe. Big, sweeping changes don't happen all at once, not even overnight. They happen one day at a time, one deed at a time, one milestone at a time. Celebrate the small victories instead of waiting for the major wins. And whatever it is that sets your soul alight, give it all of your heart. Whatever happens, it will never be wrong.

M A N T R A. All day, every day. 💃🏻
