Today we celebrate another turning of the wheel as we usher in Autumn and its vivid hues. The winds are blowing strong here today in my neck of the woods and the air has a chill to it that didn't exist just yesterday.

As I looked around today I noticed the trees have started to shift, their colors changing as the birds and squirrels pace the ground looking for bounty to see them into the cooler months. I too am reminded of the bounty before me. I look around at my life and feel a sense of pride at the changes I have made this year. Shifting, successfully, through a rebrand that allowed me to shed the skin of old and welcome in the new. Building a community of sisters across the globe that feel like home. Growing closer and stronger in my bond with my husband and children. Even though the year was not without challenges (there were a shit ton) I have no complaints as I look around, in this moment and absorb what is.

And that is the message energetically for today. As I drew the cards for the daily reading on Instagram I felt the need to help shift the perspective to allow room for gratitude and surrender. To take in, beautifully, all that our lives contain, all the work we have done, all that we have successfully and not so successfully navigated to bring us to this very moment. This very day.

As we celebrate Autumn (or Mabon for my Witchy readers) we are called to evaluate the role of abundance in our lives. How can be broaden our definition and perception of abundance to include the things in life that truly make us rich. Anyone can have dollars in the bank but its our abundance in other areas which allows us to feel a keen sense of security in this world. Even if our monetary capital should wane we have spiritual, relational and emotional capital that ultimately will see us through even the toughest of times.

What does abundance look like to you? In what ways have you allowed your perception of abundance to become tied too much to what is in the bank and not what is in your heart? Today as we celebrate another turn in the wheel pause and take it all in. Get down on your hands in knees and kiss Mama Earth. Smell the leaves as they begin to change and take in the sights of all of nature beginning to shed the skin of old to awake renewed in the Spring.

I send you many blessings and Autumn magic!

For the past several months we have experienced massive energetic shifts and downloads which have been focused on releasing that which no longer serves in preparation for the Lionsgate opening which takes place today.

Since the blue moon on July 31st this shift has become more noticeable as the energy sought to shake foundations and clear out the old. This is something we have all felt and struggled with as we felt the pressure created from old habits, outdated ways of thinking and living as well as relationships which have lost their positive power. We have watched, sometimes helplessly, as people left our lives.

These experiences force us to confront our sense of strength, power and perseverance. Many of us have struggled to feel a sense of purpose, worth and importance in the face of feeling the weight of our mistakes as well as a sense of rejection or abandonment by those who we held in high regard in our lives.

We have questioned "whats the point" more than once over the course of the last month and perhaps even wondered if we were on the right path. These questions were not signs of weakness nor were they meant to make us feel worthless. Rather these were necessary shadows to walk among in order to gain deeper insight into who we are, what we want and what we are capable of.

This gate opening is one of the most profound downloads we will receive this year. It helps us uncover hidden strengths and powers and coaxes out our most authentic self. It is an opening for us to step into our full power and make massive shifts in our lives that assist us in walking through the Lionsgate and become the creatrix of our life.

Today is a day to spend in some quiet meditation to receive your download and focus in on where you are, what you have gone through over the last few months and just what this has to teach you about what you are capable of. Spend time visualizing and emotionalizing your desired life. What does it look like? What does it feel like? What actions must you take to make this a reality?

What beliefs, emotions, people, behaviors must be cleared away for good for this reality to take root in your life? The actions we take today have potency. Potency for a little to go a long way. Power to see things through when perhaps before we would lose steam. Power to watch the last few months of the year turn into the greatest of your life.

I wish you all a most blessed, powerful and sacred experience today and every day!
