LION'S GATE

The stars and planets
always point to Now.
This moment is the only
portal, a wide open doorway
of love
leading back to earth,
our true home.
Here's the secret: you don't need
to go anywhere else.
My astrologer gave up
when she looked at my chart
and saw constellations
spinning out of control,
planets madly dancing,
erasing their trines and sextiles
like lines drawn on water,
exchanging aspects like masks
of grief and exultation.
"You're just empty space!" she said,
"How do you do that?"
"Friend," I replied,
"awareness is a crystal
more solid that the sun,
more tranquil than Polaris.
Everything dissolves
but the diamond
glistening in your chest.
First, you must learn to smile.
Laughter emancipates the stars
from the tyranny of knowledge.
Then, let go of yesterday.
As for tomorrow, it's already
here.

Do what you need to do in order to feel as though you’ve earned the permission to _________.

Some people need to go through massive trials and tribulations before they feel worthy of forgiveness or worthiness. Some people need rituals and affirmations. Some people need a priest or guru to grant them a blessing. Some people need a spiritual experience on a deep level. Often all of this is because there’s an element of Shame involved that needs to be released and the trial, ritual or blessing is what makes them feel they can go ahead and let it go.

Some people don’t really need any of those things because they already Know that they’re worthy and have given themSelves permission to do, be and have whatever they wish. Deep down they Know who and what they ARE at their core.

The ultimate goal is to get to the point where the “permission slips” are coming from within the Self. Ultimately, that’s where they ALL come from, but we go through a process of needing the external validation before we learn that the Power was actually within us all along.

And we can’t fake it. We can’t skip ahead and say, “Oh, I get it now. I don’t need any external validation,” if in reality we aren’t quite there yet. There’s no shortcut. The realization of this comes as a dawning of Light within the Self. It doesn’t happen just in the intellect, but in One’s entire Being.

And many people are frustrated with themselves because they have a sense of this potential in their Minds and yet they aren’t quite there yet with their full Being. The Heart and Mind are not yet in alignment.

That’s ok.

And the irony is that until that actually IS ok with you, it will trip you up because you think you’re doing something wrong. That you’re “not doing this right” and then that becomes your Reality.

Let go of your Fear and your resistance. Nothing locks a thing into existence faster than trying to push it away from yourself out of Fear.

The paradox is that you have to be OK with any and all outcomes before the one you truly do desire can come to you.

In Love,
TR ✨💞✨

August Musings …..

As we move through August, many people are noticing a shift in energy. Whether you resonate with the symbolism of the Leo New Moon, Lughnasadh, Lammas, or the Lion's Gate Portal, this can be a beautiful time to pause, reflect and realign with what truly matters.
For me, one word keeps returning...Alignment.
Interestingly, so many of this month's themes begin with the letter L – Leo, Lion, Lughnasadh, Lammas, Light and Love. Symbolically, they remind me of courage, inner wisdom, abundance and the willingness to step forward with an open heart (and believe me I’m struggling with that one right now!!).
The last while hasn't been easy for many of us. We've experienced change, uncertainty, endings and new beginnings. Healing isn't about pretending everything is positive all of the time. It asks us to honour every part of our experience.
I choose gratitude every day, but I also acknowledge frustration, disappointment and sadness when they arise (and most recently anger and even rage!). These emotions are not failures—they are invitations. When we meet them with compassion rather than resistance, they often become our greatest teachers.
As we move through this powerful energetic window, I'm focusing on three simple intentions:
Planning – creating space for what truly matters.
Patience – trusting that everything unfolds in its own perfect timing.
Persistence – continuing to take aligned steps, even when the path isn't yet fully visible.
Whatever your beliefs, this season offers an opportunity to reconnect with your authentic self, release what no longer serves you, and consciously choose how you wish to move forward.
May you lead with kindness.
May you trust your intuition.
May you remember your own light.
And may you have the courage to step fully into the life that is calling you.

This one is great until their advert at the end 😂 but I think they earned that.

I’ll show this one to my children maybe they’ll think again about their snacks…. Maybe not… 😂

Processed Bread always makes me ill. I don’t eat gluten free I eat chemical free. How about you?
