Greetings My Dear Soul Friend!
February is almost over! I hope you are well and navigating these unruly times with Pluto in full swing in Aquarius.
I intended to full-on spill the beans with the onslaught of hurdles that have been sent my way recently.
I intended to enclose a photo of the red patches all over my face but not the rest of me, from a fairly sudden Auto-Immune disorder...still not fully diagnosed. But looking at the selfie I just couldn’t publicly share my image. It’s too shocking to me.
Multiple doctor and specialist exams and a trip to the ER. hasn’t yet verified what’s going on. As always, I remain my best advocate, doing research, testing my reaction to foods, toxins, looking at what I’ve been exposed to recently or even in the past year and impatiently waiting for the appointment when testing will commence.
That in conjunction with this long dragged out restoration of my basement/ family living area from the sewer line break and the hot water tank flood last year, which was repaired 2 weeks ago via jack-hammering in the house, prompted us two nights in a hotel to remove me from the dust allergy trigger. I will spare you the rest of the details.
Every day last month and this month has been a whirlwind of the unexpected. This has pushed back the launch of my, ‘Dear Magi’ series. I do believe in synchronicity of course and that sometimes delays and setbacks set the stage for other discoveries. That has just happened too!
In typical Pluto fashion this delay has led me to re-evaluate my life, including the work I am doing in the world and questioning if it is fully embracing the path I want to be on, or simply doing what I think I SHOULD be doing.
As I looked in the mirror at someone I barely recognized, whose skin has aged 5 years in the past 3 months and looks like a pink and white polka dotted human version of a Dalmatian, the quote: “As above so below, as within so without”, jumped into my head.
Where are my energies bottled up, I wondered? Am I fully immersed in sharing my gifts with myself? The answer is a big NO!
For a long time I have not incorporated the bigger creative parts of myself into my life’s work. (Have you too done this, put some part of you on the back burner?) I LOVE working with you lovely souls. My driving thought has always been, I have been given this information, I’m meant to share and it may help others. There is so much within me that still needs to be shared. It needs to spill out into the world now. However, the truly creative parts and the adventure parts of me just haven’t felt like a fit into the processes I have used working with others. That has spilled over into my every day life too. I believed those parts of me just couldn’t fit in.
Silly me. This fullness of who I am has been bottled up, relegated to the back burner for a long time. Could this be the ‘breaking out’ that I’m experiencing?
I want you to know that I am taking steps to change that in more ways than one for myself, and hopefully for you as we join together in a creatively charged community, which will begin with a Spring Theme. (Often detours will take us right where we are meant to arrive.)
More than anything right now, the Universe and the dance of the planets is calling us to live fully alive and with intention. I surely am being pushed and shown with great energy. Are you feeling this too in some way?
Becoming, stepping into the fullness of who we are meant to be, that is our calling. It’s why we came here! Helping others or achieving a goal will flow from us too as we live in fullness.
Perhaps a goal should not be the main focus of what drives us, but the bonus of it.
What did you choose to experience coming into life on this blue and green planet? Have you accomplished that experience or that state of being yet? Can you take just one step in that direction?
Most of us allow ‘things’ and ‘situations’ to hold us back. But maybe it’s just US holding us back.
As adults with unique responsibilities our brains tend to keep us isolated from our dreams and from the support of others, instead doing what we ‘Should Do’ over who we are here to be.
But maybe like raising a child in the best way possible, it takes a village.
Having worked with hospice patients and the end of life for 6 years I came to realize the one thing I do not want. And that is having even one moment of regret that I didn’t do what I always wanted to do with my life. I do not want to reflect that I had thrown away my opportunity to fully spread my wings no matter what. That is not the way to end a life.
I BELIEVE THAT LIVING IN WHAT BRINGS US JOY SPREADS OUR JOY INTO THE WORLD.
Now I can see how that needs to be fully embraced!
I also believe the new ‘Dear Magi’ project can be that village.
It is content and community that aims to support you through opportunity for exploring, playing, and birthing who and what you always wanted to be, and do what you’ve always wanted to do.
Together we become the sacred parts that create the alchemy of our transformation into gold.
While I’ve missed my initial deadlines for ‘Dear Magi’, I am experiencing a morphing of the project into something I only dreamed of.
Meanwhile, I am inviting you to share with me in a Winter’s Guided Meditation this month. It’s a Creative Visualization Guided Meditation.
HERE IS THE AUDIO FOR YOU TO JOIN IN - 30 mins. Get comfy first.

AND OTHER GOOD NEWS!
I finally have a new scheduling app.! Since the previous one was taken over by new owners I’ve been trying out various apps.
My apologies for the frustrations I know it has caused some of you. Finally, I’ve settled on one that seems basic enough for my needs. It does not include payments linked to the bookings, yet. I may just keep doing the invoicing directly myself. But, try it out and see what you think.
It seems Okay for now.
SCHEDULE WITH ME HERE: https://lindavaroslove.schedulista.com/
Meanwhile, if you need a date or time that isn’t listed as available you can always email me. I will do my best to coordinate our schedules. I am still doing Zoom and Phone sessions. Make-up is an amazing thing for pink polka dots! :oD
PEACE, LOVE & ALCHEMY! Linda
P.S. LOOK FOR POP-UP READING SPECIALS THIS WEEK! IT’S THE NEXT EMAIL FROM ME! XOXOXOX Linda
