Hello July,
We’re halfway through 2020 and WOW!!! What a year this has been so far. Like a lot of us, I’ve been caught up in a roller-coaster of emotions and looking back, I see that it has drained me of my energy, of creativity, of inspiration, of being able to function in every day activities. It’s drained me of my inner power and I didn’t realize it until now.
But, for the first time, July is here, and I feel hope and an opening for new beginnings, I’m feeling a shift in the energies, and an invitation to celebration and joy.
I feel July is bringing me back to myself, here’s what I’m doing:
1 – I need to celebrate ME. Celebrate my accomplishments so far. How I’ve held myself up, how through it all I’m still OK. By making conscious choices, and even though at times it wasn’t easy, I’ve been taking care of my health. I’m exercising, and I haven’t broken my rule of no eating at night since the middle of February. Yeah!!! I’m celebrating that through it all I still wrote articles every month for The Inspired Guide magazine (here) no matter how hard it was to be creative and write. I’m celebrating me for being resilient, strong, and determined. Yes, I’m celebrating.
2 – I forgot that my word for this year is – EMPOWERED – and I’m bringing it back into the forefront every day, leaning on it, embracing it, and it’s already making me feel empowered. Yeah!!!
3 – Our energy can be zapped out of us, especially when we’re with people that have negative energy or, places and situations that are full with negative energy, even through TV or cell phone, our energy can be zapped leaving us, drained. A practice that I used to do, and I don’t know why I ever stopped, is something I learned from the wonderful Danielle LaPorte (here). She said that at the end of the day when she gets home before she gets out of her car she calls her power back into her. She declares – I call all of my power back to me now. I am whole and complete –
And the wonderful Sarah Jensen (here) just recently shared this, – For my highest good may all parts of me left in other people, places, dimensions, times and events return to me to energize, revitalize, and make me whole –
I’m loving this, so along with smudging myself to remove negative energies every morning, I am also returning to doing this ritual of taking my power back into me.
I hope this serves you, love to hear from you.
July Blessings
I’m so glad it’s a new month! I feel like it’s for a new beginning, too. I agree that negative people can suck our energy right out of us. I try so hard to stay away from negativity. Thank you for sharing this! I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Hello Masha! It’s been a time for mixed emotions and energies for me as well. I have accomplished a lot but feel exhausted at times. I have had problems with eating before bed and even going to bed. I spoke to my guardian angel about this and somehow I have noticed I am not eating before bed. That is weird because I have insisted on doing it for so long. As far as going to bed… That is a work in progress and more about stubbornness. I think it bad sleeping habits make one more exhausted. You need to have a routine and stick to it. Becoming empowered is only a word and a goal unless you make up your mind to BE EMPOWERED. We have a lot to do as humans and taking care ourselves and each other is number one. So, when we find ourselves in a so-so emotional state, feeling drained, and not wanting to do anything we need to take a few minutes to reevaluate what is going on. We can do it because our life and enjoyment depends on it. I know you have had some difficult times this year and you have every right to have had your ups and downs emotionally. You have reflected, reviewed, and over come. YOU’VE GOT THIS, GIRL!!! Become EMPOWERED and STAY EMPOWERED!

The start of a new month is a good time to reflect, gather your energy, and readjust trajectory a little where needed. I hope this month you can feel uplifted, energised and EMPOWERED, and that you never forget all the many reasons to celebrate you and your achievements. Like you, I’ve been swept up in so much emotion (not much of it good!) with the coronavirus, anger at the government, and so on. It doesn’t do us any favours to let it all eat away at us. Wishing you a blessed, calm, powerful July, Masha! 🌷🌻

Thank you Caz for your encouraging words, I don’t know how many of us can deny the tide of energies and not let ourself be swept up in it, but the good thing is that we can pull ourselves out of it. Wishing you a blessed July xoxo

Beautiful Masha, it’s a joy to see you tapping back into that deep and delicious POWER (and sense of empowerment) within you. You are a gentle + wonderful force for good in this world. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and reflections with us – it’s certainly given me permission (and a loving reminder) to pause, review and reconnect as we move into the second half of the year. And thank you not only for sharing the wonderful practices and rituals you use, but for the kind mention. It means the world. Sending lots of love and care to you and wishing you a creative, empowered and fulfilling July (and rest of the year). Sarah xx
