A Year Of Journaling With The Violets - Week 40

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: #13 "Every Cycle is a Higher Opportunity"

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.

And please join us in the Insight Timer group: "Ask Your Guides" — grounded, guided, and always growing.

Hello and welcome beautiful Insight Timer community.

Today we are on week 40 of our year of journaling.

I can't even believe 12 more weeks till the end of the year.

But anyway,

As usual,

I went to our Cosmic Journey Oracle,

Bayanik Silver,

And pulled card number 13,

Every Cycle is a Higher Opportunity.

Each and every turn in the cycle of life is a new way of coming back to your truest essence,

The one you've always held sacred.

This is your cosmic blueprint being expressed more fully and wisely with each turn of the spiral.

You keep coming back to the same things you've always loved,

But with new insights and experience.

There are cycles within cycles within cycles in all of nature.

If you bring awareness to your life,

You will find patterns.

Patterns of when to plant seeds,

When to harvest ideas.

Where is the pattern in this current situation?

The clues were always there.

What you loved as a child is typically your deepest soul level expression.

Now with new eyes,

Skills,

Talents,

And resources,

You can bring this to life in a whole new way.

And it doesn't have to be just one thing,

Because your unique genius is a perfect combination of everything that makes up you.

And our journaling question,

And I love this journaling question,

What did I love as a kid and how can I bring more of this energy back into my life?

Alright friends,

I'm ready to write about this because I think what I loved as a kid can definitely reveal a lot of what I need to be doing now.

So I'm excited to do some writing.

Let's listen to Blossom Violet's beautiful piano music and let's journal together.

Alright my friends,

I cannot wait to hear what kind of things you liked to do as a child.

For me,

I had to think about this one,

And I used to love playing with transistor radios.

There's my love of tech right there when I was a kid.

Used to open them up,

Wanted to see what was inside.

Something else that I loved was playing with a typewriter,

Which is funny because now I type on a computer all day for work.

But there were a few other things that I loved doing as a kid and I'm definitely gonna have to explore ways of bringing that into my adult life now so that I can have that same kind of enjoyment.

Things like being in water,

Being out in nature,

Which I am definitely out in nature all the time now.

So I would love to hear what was on your list and until next week,

I hope you're having an amazing day,

I hope you're having an amazing week,

And I cannot wait to meet back here next week for week 41 as we're getting closer to the end of the year.

Thank you for journaling with me all this time.

Let's keep going and keep shining like the beautiful diamond that you are.

Reviews

Two things come to mind : play and learning : coming from a family of seven, we played a lot together and elder siblings taught the younger. This is probably where I get my desire to teach by making the complex simple to understand. Currently this is expressed with my AI adventures which are really alchemical explorations - discovering what can be transmuted, how to turn figurative lead into gold and become eternally youthful in outlook, if not in body. Thanks for this gift of remembrance and entanglement.
