A Shift

With only several weeks left in 2020, I don’t know how you are feeling but I am anxious to move onto a new year. It’s not that 2020 was so bad, in which the world at large literally experienced so much suffering. Yet, there’s always something good that comes out the adversity. It certainly brought a good dose of blessings in my life.

While there’s so much uncertainty still remains in the world and my personal life, I do feel rather optimistic. The last full moon on Halloween was a powerful Blue Moon, which was signified by the tenacity of Taurus. And now the new moon in Scorpio on Saturday is supposed to bring about some major shift. Well, I’m not an astrologer and can’t elaborate these statements much further, but I am a believer in the Power Greater than ourselves. Something is definitely moving us into the direction of change, positive change.

It was my husband, Kenny’s birthday on Sunday, so we took a much needed time off and went on a little road trip. Before we departed, we got a news that my step-daughter, Marissa, gave a birth to our second grand-daughter, Kyle Jolie, the same morning. Yes, on Kenny’s birthday! That’s auspicious!!! She was actually due on Halloween and decided to wait till it was her Papa’s birthday. Having been born during this time of powerful shift, I believe Kyle is going to be some powerful woman. What a blessing for us! I’m so looking forward to watching these girls grow up. It made our trip more memorable.

With much needed change of scenery for a few days, I’ve got to think about the “shift” I would like to make — mostly internally — to move forward with my dreams and goals. It would be a “shift” to believe that I can do the things I’ve been afraid of or unconfident about, a “shift” to know that I deserve to have my Vision realized. Well, Kamala has been addressing young girls that they can do anything with their life. Little does she know she’s also inspiring a 60-year old woman of color!
