A Year Of Journaling With The Violets - Week 45

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: #VII "Soul Giraffe"

Background music by my friend, the incredible Blossom Violet, was recorded LIVE on February 27, 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 -- guided, grounded, and always growing.

Hello and welcome beautiful Insight Timer community.

Today we are on week 45 of our year of journaling.

And as always,

I pulled a card from the Cosmic Journey Oracle by Yanique Silver and I got Roman Numeral 7,

Soul Giraffe.

And the attributes are vision,

Grace,

And the higher vantage is seeing obstacles.

Well that makes sense because we know giraffes are very tall.

The Soul Giraffe is here to help you with your grander vision,

To allow you to see higher and further.

The long neck of the Soul Giraffe gives you an elevated view of what's on the horizon,

As well as another vantage point of the big picture.

We're also reminded that perhaps we cannot label something as good or bad,

Right or wrong,

Unless we can see the full picture.

The giraffe gracefully glides along the path,

Spotting what others cannot.

That one was nice and short.

I like that.

And coincidentally,

My Soul Giraffe is also purple.

Love that.

So our journaling question,

Actually there's a couple of questions,

And I'm going to pick one that I like,

But I'm going to share them all with you.

If I could see higher and further,

What would I see?

What is on the horizon for this situation?

Instead of the low-hanging fruit,

What if I went for the lofty fruit?

What might be within my grasp if I went higher in my thinking or viewpoint?

Okay,

I think I'm drawn to the first question.

If I could see higher and further,

What would I see?

I love this question.

It gives me a lot to think about.

I feel like I'm in a good place in my life right now.

But,

You know,

We're always reaching for that lofty fruit,

Aren't we?

That was another question I also liked.

Instead of the low-hanging fruit,

What if I went for the lofty fruit?

All right,

My friends,

Let's put some time on the clock,

Listen to Blossom Violet's beautiful music,

And let's do some journaling.

All right,

My friends,

I can't wait to hear which question you decided to journal on.

I really love the soul giraffe and the fact that it is here to help me with my grander vision.

To help me?

I feel like I have a lot of helpers,

So this is a great card.

And I do have a couple of things that I have been thinking about,

Especially as we're winding down to the end of the year.

Some projects I'll be working on in my spare time.

And I'm looking forward to getting started on those.

But for now,

My friends,

I hope that you are having an amazing day.

Continue to have a beautiful week.

And I look forward to hearing what you had to write about.

This is a great question.

Would love to know what you've got going on in the horizon.

Until next week,

Keep shining like the beautiful diamond that you are.

Reviews

This journalling prompt is so timely as usual. I am so operating within a safe and comfortable envelope. I also know of others not even putting their heads above the parapet who I will share this week’s guidance with (hoping they take in the whole series). Only 7 left but I musts share I have set out my publishing sequence for 2026 already starting on the 1st January New Moon and Journalling in Tune with the Moon (needing 12 tracks, 1 a moonth) would be a joy - main prompt on New Moon with way point prompts for 1st & 3rd quarter and Full Moon.
