A Year Of Journaling With The Violets - Week 51

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: #20 "Out of the Mess Comes Elegant Order"

Our soothing background music is "Grace of a Butterfly" by my friend and fellow Insight Timer teacher, Blossom Violet. 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 51 of our year of journaling.

So as always I have pulled a random card from the Cosmic Journey Oracle by Yannick Silver and I got number 20.

Out of the mess comes elegant order.

Everything looks messy in the middle.

If you knew that you would be more allowing of the messes that show up.

The universe is always seeking order and novelty at the same time.

The novelty creates new ideas,

Pathways,

And variations.

The order creates coherence and consistency.

Realize the chaos,

Confusion,

And turmoil are exactly what's needed now.

Otherwise you'd come to the exact same thought that thousands of others have had before you.

Nobody thinks they want a mess.

But what if that is necessary to create something bigger and grander?

Baking is full of broken eggs and spilled flour.

But then the alchemical process turns our mess into a delicious cake.

Don't sweep the mess under the rug.

Embrace,

Acknowledge,

And appreciate each one.

It's reassuring to know there are no more breakthroughs without breakdowns.

You cannot clean up a mess.

It has to be reconceived,

Transformed,

And transcended into another elevated creation.

And our journaling question,

What are the ways I can fully appreciate my biggest so-called mess right now?

Well,

You know,

Immediately my mind is going to be decluttering because that's what I've been working on.

And I like the idea of being able to appreciate this mess.

So let's put some time on the clock.

Let's listen to Blossom Violet's beautiful music.

And let's do some journaling.

All right,

My friends,

I can't wait to hear what you had to say about this one.

This one was definitely different.

And although I know that the mess could be mental,

I immediately went to the physical and the decluttering.

But I feel like that's also an analogy of much of life.

You accumulate a lot of stuff.

At some point,

That stuff was necessary.

And maybe now that stuff is not needed,

And it's time to get rid of it.

So that's where I am right now.

I would love to hear where you are and where this journaling prompt took you.

And I cannot believe that we have one more week,

And we will be done with our 52 weeks of journaling.

This year has definitely flown by.

It's been filled with a lot.

Some of it messy,

Some of it not so messy.

Most of it pretty good.

All right,

Friends,

Please leave me some comments.

Let me know what mess you're working on,

What mess you wrote about.

And just in general,

I look forward to getting together next week for what seems unbelievably to me our last week of our week of journaling.

Until next week,

I hope you're having an amazing week,

Have an amazing day,

And continue to shine like the bright diamond that you are.

Reviews

I can’t believe it! I started with you on the first week and have looked forward to all of them. Today was extra special as went through something I thought was a mess, the course I created, to realizing it help someone who really wants to collaborate with me and I am now reviewing the classes I already did and revising them and creating the rest of the 8 classes for my creative reawakening for women.

The arrival of this alchemical advice could not be more timely. Only at week #50, my online de-mystery school was a glorious mess, full of wondrous content, but with an architecture not poorly thought out but not thought out at all.
At week #51, it now has a clear pathway for students.
What’s more, my other content strategy for Insight Timer could, at best, be described as scattergun. Now the pathway is setting (not in stone), I can start to add content to this app in a new and externally relevant context, irrespective of limitations.
There are basically now no limits. And the only one that existed only last week was entirely of my own creation.
A deep bow of thanks for this glorious journalling course.

Wow another great session! I often refer to my breakdown as a breakthrough so when you said that part it really resonated. So I reflected on the mess of said time in my life. Without that mess of breakthrough I wouldn't be here and took time to truly thank that chaos. Thank you so much Violet for this time of reflection it is extremely appreciated 🫶🥰✨️
