A Year Of Journaling With The Violets - Week 27

Over the next 52 weeks, we'll use journaling as a tool for deep self-discovery—a chance to reflect, embrace, and shape your future with honesty and without fear. Each week a new Oracle card provides a prompt to guide you, but remember, this is your journey. There are no rules. Take what resonates and leave the rest. Whether you prefer pen and paper or a digital format, scripting, doodling, or writing, the key is to engage and enjoy the process.

We'll be using Yanik Silver's "The Cosmic Journey Oracle."

This week's card: #25 "The Phoenix Rises Into Joyful Abundance"!

Background music by my friend, the incredible Blossom Violet was recorded LIVE on January 7, 2025. Be sure to follow her for more beautiful piano tracks! I've also included her music in my journaling playlists, which you can find here on my teacher's profile, at the bottom of the "Home" tab.

Hello and welcome beautiful Insight Timer community.

Today we are on week 27 of our year of journaling.

We have crossed that halfway mark.

We're halfway into the year.

It's beautiful here in New York.

Summer right now.

I know for some of you it's winter.

I hope that you are enjoying whatever season you're in.

So as always I have pulled a random card from the Cosmic Journey Oracle by Yannick Silver and we got number 25.

The phoenix rises into joyful abundance.

Now you know these cards on abundance are always my favorites.

I know I have a lot of favorites but that's definitely a topic that I love because who doesn't love abundance?

So he says it is time to surrender your former smallness to your destiny of greatness.

Are you ready to fully step forward into the total transformation of your business,

Your life,

Your legacy,

Knowing you won't be the same again?

It's a scary thought because our identities are so closely aligned to who we think we are with our existing business or previous accomplishments.

But all of that is just R&D for what lies ahead.

It's not about starting over.

It's about taking everything you've developed,

Built,

Researched,

Succeeded with,

Failed at,

Intuited,

Struggled through,

And overcome.

Every relationship you've nurtured,

Every network connection made,

Goodwill cultivated,

Reputation built,

Skills developed.

It's all brought you right here and right now to this moment.

And like a phoenix rising,

Your emergence into joyful abundance is inevitable.

So our journaling question is,

In my own mythic story of rebirth,

What comes next?

Great question,

Great topic.

And it's interesting,

This whole concept of you're done playing small keeps coming up for me.

And I love it.

We had a live yesterday,

A beautiful live.

And I got so much amazing feedback there.

I mentioned how for so long I felt I was playing small.

This morning,

I was journaling when I first got up.

And I sort of had a few epiphanies as to where that came from.

So I hope that when you journal,

As always,

You will share with me any thoughts you have on this topic,

Because it's definitely a favorite of mine.

And I love to hear other perspectives.

Another suggestion here in this book is to make a list of all your skills,

Lessons learned,

Failures,

Successes,

Key relationships,

And discoveries.

I love this idea.

And I think I would need more than five minutes for that one.

But I'm definitely going to get started on it.

And as always,

We're going to listen to Blossom Violet's beautiful background piano music,

Do some writing.

And when the time is over,

You're always free to come back and do a little more writing.

Listen to her beautiful tracks,

Which I have included,

By the way,

In my playlist,

A Year of Journaling with the Violets,

Which I decided to rename because all of my tracks have her background music,

And I love them.

We also are doing a lot of journaling lives together where she just plays intuitively.

She's amazing.

If you don't know her,

Please check out her profile.

All right,

Enough talking on my part.

Let's put some time on the clock.

Let's do some journaling.

All right,

My friends,

Where to even begin with this journaling prompt?

This is definitely one that I am going to go back to and do a little more writing about.

Because first of all,

My list is huge of lessons learned,

Failures,

Successes,

Discoveries.

I have learned so much about myself,

About other people,

About what I want in my life.

I was talking to someone this weekend about all the jobs that I had and how they all led me to the job I have now,

Which I love.

Many of you have heard me mention it before.

The job that I work at full time is one that I really believe I manifested,

And I really believe that all my successes and failures were what led me there,

Helped me realize what I really loved,

What I really wanted to do.

And there isn't a day that I wake up ready to work that I'm not excited about what I'm doing now and loving the purpose of the people that I work for.

So I definitely feel that everything we do in life,

Successes and failures,

All bring us to bigger and better things.

My friends,

I hope that you are feeling the same way.

I hope that you will share with me what this journaling prompt has meant for you,

Because it's definitely a big one for me.

And I hope that you are shining bright,

Enjoying whatever season you're in right now,

And that you will join me back here next week for week 28 of our year of journaling.

Until then,

Have an amazing week.

Once again the universe has heard me and speaks to me yesterday I was struggling because I was feeling like I was failing all over again and by thinking that way I wasn’t allowing myself to show up fully and give and receive as I wanted to Now that I know that everything that came before, all that I have done has brought me right here where I belong, I can show up fully and be willing to learn, coach, stumble, embrace and rise like the phoenix I am now. So grateful to be able to use all that I have to move forward with abundance.

What a great and timely prompt on the very day I start recording the videos for a new course on Alchemical Intelligence : Ageless AI. It has been many lifetimes coming.
But where have I failed before, and how? Running before I can walk is one and getting over keen too early, then losing faith as plans come to nought.
This time it’s different, as it’s been planned more meticulously. Its timing, its structure, its message and its alignment to the NewAI, which was also a co-creator in its genesis.
So this brings something new. A new energy aligned to no fear of failure, or getting bored, or jumping on to the next Big Thing.
Could have done with more time on this one!!
Not least to encourage you to go even Bigger Still dearest V108, helping more and more people step into their Bigness!!
