Ramblings of a Spiritual Single Mum - July 2022
Hello everyone and welcome to my Ramblings. June was an interesting month for me, maybe it was for you too. There have been lots of challenges on a personal and professional level. I am ready for new things but met with a creative block with regards to my business. Maybe you can resonate? It's always very uncomfortable before we shift into a new way of being. Our life is all about growing and evolving but nobody said that it was an easy transition. I've had to spend a lot of time feeling into who I am and WHY I do the work that I do. WHO am I trying to reach and HOW can I help you. It has been a month full of emotions, revisited grief and, I am going to admit, an uphill climb. When I go through these important soul shifting transitions, I find myself withdrawing from life. Mainly, I do this to get perspective so I can shut down the the noise around me. I had caught myself several times comparing myself to others. Then, pulling myself back in to realise that there is only one me, just like there is only one, unique, beautiful YOU.
I feel everyone in business goes through these very powerful transitional times; you can't but not face these things in life and business. I am glad to say that with the help of a very wonderful Business Mentor and beautiful soul aligned friends who hold space for me, I am now seeing through the other side of where I am heading and what my journey looks like for me. Remembering my truth. You will start to see some of these changes in my business the upcoming months, which is very exciting.
On another note, we had a Birthday in the Butterfield household. Ruby turned 13, so I now have all teenage girls in the house - yikes!!!! No, actually they are all have their moments but they are so beautiful. Ruby's Birthday started a little earlier as we had a lovely day trip to Alton Towers. A place I really resisted going to, as I am not keen on roller coaster rides these days. I had to say it was the most fantastic day. We laughed and got wet, dry and wet again. It rained and then the sun came. The grounds at Alton Towers are absolutely fantastically beautiful. The gardens our stunning. If you choose to go there, the gardens are worth a visit on their own. There is a castle and moat and the rides, of course. It is very vast though and the rides are spread around and Ruby didn't quite get to go on all the rides but had a fantastic day, none the less. We laughed so much, which is something we all needed. The last few months have had their emotional ups and downs with the loss of my Dad. Time is a great healer but we never forget. I made my neighbour laugh when I told her about our trip and how we 'laughed like drains'. She had never heard of the expression but it is an expression I grew up with. I definitely embraced the fun, loving and soft side of me during this trip. I have definitely been someone who has lived a lot in my masculine energy, especially with being the only parent of three girls. This trip really helped me step into my more feminine energy. I felt more relaxed and more receptive to just having fun and allowing.
I'm learning more and more to bring this beautiful feminine energy into my every day life. Being open to receiving, feeling safe to be vulnerable and open. I am running an healing group on Monday, 11th July at 7pm. It is 'Embracing the Inner Goddess'. I was really drawn to do this group to help you step into that divine feminine energy. Embracing your Inner Goddess is all about releasing that need for you to control every moment, releasing your need to give to everybody else and not yourself. It is your divine right to be open to receiving, whether that be love, money or just being open and allowing others in to help you. How many of you believe that you can do it all by yourself? How many of you don't trust others? That will be your life experiences and the beliefs you have made around your life experiences playing out in your every day existence. Ask yourself if you want to carry on in this way or whether it is exhausting. I'm guessing I know the answer. Why? Because I have been you, not trusting, not allowing and feeling safe and in control but also drained of energy.
If you feel that 'Embracing the Inner Goddess' is for you and you would like to work on opening up to be in receiving mode, this is the link to sign up. It is £44.
On another note, we have a very powerful Full Moon coming in on Wednesday, 13th July. This is really going to be a game changer. It is all about growth and expansion and the growth bringing in new information or ideas. It is going to be a time to listen to that inner guidance, your intuition and whether the ideas feel crazy or fantastic, being brave and running with them. You may already be feeling the energies of the Full Moon. I have a Full Moon Ceremony on Wednesday, 13th July. This is a great way to receive the sounds of the Light Language, to balance and release blocks around all the Chakras (your energy centres) and then step into a guided meditation where you can set the intention to release all that does not serve you; beliefs, behaviours, people or situations. This then makes the space for new energies, behaviours and people to come into your life. The New Moon event is £22 and starts at 7pm on 13th July.
I am very much looking forward to the months ahead and what they will bring. I decided that it was time for me to step back into the things that I love doing. To feed my soul with the fun things in life that I had been denying myself. The things that make me feel free, alive, excited. My running had taken a back seat for a long time and I was not motivated at all to do it. I am fully embracing my running journey again. There's nothing quite like running across the fields with the dog running after me. I feel free and excited. My best ideas come when I am in this just perfect state of joy.
I also went dancing on Saturday evening, another passion of mine, The music and the level of pleasure that it brings is second to none. The adrenaline runs and you can do nothing but smile and laugh. I met a few new people as well who taught me some new moves, always a plus.
Whatever your joy is, do it. Life is can become so mundane and run like a well oiled machine, which can have it's bonuses, which I a place I can been in and out of. When we step into our joy, we rise above the challenges and life becomes easier, day to day chores become easier. You deal with you family in a completely different way. It's a happier place to be for all.
I wish you all a wonderful rest of July and I will catch up with you all in August.
Dance like nobody is watching, live the life you wish to live and live it to the fullest, as our visit here on earth is a short visit.
Sending you all lots of Love
