Everybody Likes Doing Things Their Own Way

Thursday, December 13th

During morning meditation, I asked my Spirit Guide Somoya what I needed to know for today.  I then heard an internal voice say, "Everybody likes doing things their own way."

I feel Somoya is reminding me not to force, just be implosive when teaching skills and offering support around mental health and addiction recovery.  In addition, not to take it personally, if people don't want to manage stress the way I do it and/or want my support.  Earlier in the week, I had a clt kindly state that he isn't open to my cognitive method for managing stress or daily structure, but is open to a different method.  Unfortunately, in the moment, I took it personally and felt hurt.  I made it about me, and not about his recovery.

In my profession, my personal daily goal is to empower individuals and make them independent.  I need to remain positive and happy for individuals.  It shouldn't matter what method/s they choose to assist themselves with their recovery.  Individual recovery is not about me, it is about each person's journey and what they choose to do with it.  I am their to offer support and guide, if so desired by the person being offered services.  I need to remain focused on meeting them where they are at, rather than trying to get them where I am at.  If I am successful with accepting these concepts, I will genuinely exude compassion for all those that I serve in our community.

Thank you Somoya for bringing me back to center.

It Says it's Right Here in These Teeth...Jaws

Thursday, October 11th During morning meditation, I asked my Spirit Guide Somoya what I needed to know for the day.  I then internally heard, "It says it's right here in these teeth...Jaws." I personally find shark teeth scary/frightening.  Some things in life are literally as dangerous as they look.  For instance, the teeth of the great white shark.  The fictional movie Jaws horrified me as a very young child.  To this day I am still afraid to swim in the ocean. Once I moved past the ingrained childhood fear, a Google search was in order.  The teeth identify sharks as prehistoric fish.  Sharks have been around way before humans, around 400 million years!  Sharks loose around 35,000 teeth in their lifetime.  These razor sharp teeth help them remain at the top of the food chain.  Without sharks being present in our oceans, our seas will eventually collapse!  Algae would over bloom, and all water life would suffer.  When sharks die, their teeth sink to the ocean botto

"See the good food. Feed the noogies." 2/25/21

 An oracle card last evening said to connect to my homeland.  I decided to give it a try today.  During the morning meditation.  This time I created a different visualization.  My first and ongoing visualization has always been of the Middle Ages, Rasko my horse, forest, open grassy field, gazebo on the bluffs looking at the Olympics and meeting up with spirit guides Somoya and Jenja.  This time I visualized me in a cloak, sandals, Rosko, forest of cedar trees, desert, gazebo on the bluff looking at the Mediterranean Sea, and meeting up with my ancestral spirits from Lebanon.
