Embracing 45: A Journey of Resilience, Reflection, and Cosmic Illumination

3/21/2024
Picture
​🌟 Embracing 45 revolutions around the sun today, a journey I never envisioned traversing. In the dance of life, I've encountered shadows of betrayal and hurdles of setbacks, yet I emerge resilient, guided by the mystical trio of optimism, idealism, and stoicism. Each stumble, a cosmic lesson; each rise, a testament to my spirit's resilience. But woven amidst the cosmic tapestry, I've also been touched by the ethereal tendrils of magic, the tender embrace of love, and the radiant glow of kindness, filling my essence with pure joy. 

I find myself reflecting on the myriad experiences, lessons, and revelations that have shaped the essence of who I am. In honor of this milestone, I'd like to share 45 of my truths about myself, each one a thread woven into the tapestry of my existence, encompassing the essence of my being. 
May some of these lessons resonate with some of you on your own journey.

1. Trusting my intuition and listening to my inner voice has led me down paths I never imagined, revealing hidden truths and guiding me towards my purpose.

2. Ancestral wisdom flows through my veins, reminding me of the resilience and strength of those who came before me.

3. Despite encountering darkness in others, I've learned that their shadows only serve to illuminate my own light.

4. Forgiveness is a daily practice, but I've realized that some souls may not be deserving of it – and that's okay.

5.
I've embraced the stoic principle of detachment. Though I may be loyal and tolerate situations longer than necessary, once I've reached my limit, I sever ties with toxic individuals without guilt. When I'm done, I'm truly done.

6. Standing firm in my convictions has earned me both respect and solitude, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

7. Authenticity is my superpower; I'd rather be respected, or in most cases talked about, for being genuine than praised for fitting in and artificial, the world has enough fake shit.

8. Watching my children grow reminds me of life's fleeting nature, urging me to savor every precious moment.

9. Life's twists and turns have diverged from my expectations, but each deviation has led to unexpected blessings. 
Embracing change has taught me resilience and flexibility, allowing me to adapt to life's ever-shifting currents.

10. Helping those with nothing to offer in return – whether it's nurturing plants or caring for animals – fills my heart with purpose. 

11. Boundaries are essential for maintaining my mental and emotional well-being; I've learned to set them without guilt. Set your boundaries or other people will set them for you. This includes family.

12. In the realm of existence, I discern the latent greatness residing within each soul, yet some choose to dwell in shadows, forsaking their inherent brilliance. Though their actions may wound, I remain steadfast in the knowledge that my perception of their potential does not absolve them of their responsibility. In their choices lies the truth of their character, and in my response lies the essence of my own.


13. Kindness is a currency that never depreciates; I strive to spend it generously wherever I go. However allowing people to drain me spiritually, emotionally, or mentally is the most destructive thing I’ve ever done to myself. Connections should energize you and be reciprocated. That’s how you know they’re aligned.

14. Respect the sanctity of another woman's home; integrity and empathy pave the way for honorable choices. Emotional intelligence isn't just about understanding others; it's the compass guiding us towards paths of integrity and grace, ensuring our journey is rich with compassion and respect.  I will always be a woman other women can trust…ALWAYS.

15. Standing up for what's right, even in the face of opposition, is an act of integrity and courage that I will always uphold.

16. Self-care is not selfish; it's a necessary act of self-preservation and self-love.

17. Expressing gratitude daily has opened my eyes to the abundance of blessings in my life.

18. Trusting in divine timing has brought me peace and contentment, knowing that everything happens in its own time.

19. Vulnerability is the key to authentic connections; I've learned to embrace it wholeheartedly.

20. Perfection is an illusion; I've found beauty in embracing imperfections and celebrating uniqueness.

21. 
I am an alchemist. Stagnancy and I are incompatible. If necessary, I will upheave my entire world.

22. Authentic connections are not just fleeting encounters but soulful bonds that nourish and sustain me on my journey.

23. Celebrating small victories has taught me the power of gratitude and resilience.

24. Betrayal has shown me the importance of discerning true allies from fair-weather friends, teaching me to value quality over quantity.  

25. Regeneration is real. People stabbed me in the back but my spirit is still in tact.

26. Living with no fear has allowed me to step into my power and pursue my dreams without reservation. 

27. Choosing faith over doubt has given me the courage to navigate life's uncertainties with grace and resilience.

28. Courageously expressing my truth is not defiance but liberation, a courageous act of self-expression and empowerment.

29. I’m grateful for people that left me. They showed me who I was.

30. There is nothing in my purpose that says I need to prove anything to anybody. 

31. Being a woman of integrity and trustworthiness is a badge I wear proudly, knowing that my word is my bond.  

32. Integrity is my compass; I follow it, even when the path is difficult. 
But please don't fuck around, because you will find out.

33. If you don’t like me, its because you see me. If you like me because you see yourself.

34. I love my people hard, and this is my greatest joy, a testament to the depth of my heart and the boundless capacity of my soul.  Choosing love over fear or others opinions is not blind idealism but profound wisdom, a recognition of the transformative power of love in healing and transformation.

35. Trusting in the interconnectedness of all things has deepened my sense of belonging and purpose.

36. Letting go of the need for external validation has freed me to live unapologetically.

37. Dancing gives you direct connection to Source. So do it often and with wild abandon.

38. Embracing the journey of self-discovery has allowed me to uncover my true essence and potential. 
Sitting with my shadow has been an integral part of this journey—a courageous act of facing the aspects of myself that society often deems unworthy or undesirable. Yet, in my shadow's embrace, I have found profound wisdom and insight.  I love my shadow self because it embodies the raw, unfiltered truth of who I am. It is the repository of my fears, insecurities, and vulnerabilities, but also the source of my greatest strength and resilience. In embracing my shadow, I have learned to love every aspect of myself, both light and dark, for they are integral parts of the intricate tapestry of my existence.  Self-love is my birthright; I claim it, knowing it is the key to unlocking my fullest potential.

39. 
As a parent, it's important to instill the virtues of accountability and humility, urging your children to face their challenges with unwavering resolve. In this journey, I too embrace accountability, acknowledging my imperfections and committing to owning my shit.

40. Cultivating a sense of wonder and curiosity has enriched my life with endless possibilities and adventures.

41. Living boldly has allowed me to step into my power and embrace life's challenges with open arms.

42. Alignment requires discipline.

43. Surrendering to the flow of life's unfolding has brought me a sense of peace and trust, knowing that I am exactly where I need to be.

44. Any relationship I pour into should help me grow into a better version of myself.  Uplift me of get left.

45. Do not covet what others possess. No individual possesses everything; if they did, they would not be incarnated in this realm. Where one person enjoys a blessing, there is inevitably something lacking elsewhere, often unseen. Instead, direct your attention to where the Universe bestows its blessings upon you. Concentrate on your strengths and talents, for they are the essence of your purpose and your mission in this life!


As I journey deeper into the realms of existence, I surrender to the cosmic symphony, embracing the harmony of light and shadow, knowing that within the darkness lies the seed of enlightenment.

Here's to embracing the cosmic dance and surrendering to the cosmic currents. Here's to 45 years of cosmic exploration and soulful illumination. 🌌✨ 

xoxo,
Candance

Holistic Design. What is it, and why it's so important?

5/5/2023

What is Holistic Design and Why is it Important?
Designing a space that nurtures our physical and mental wellbeing is crucial in today's fast-paced and stressful world. Holistic design takes into consideration the whole person and their environment, creating a space that promotes health, wellness, and sustainability. Here's everything you need to know about holistic design and why it's essential.

What is Holistic Design?
Holistic design is an approach to interior design that considers the individual's overall wellbeing, including their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. It encompasses various factors, such as air quality, natural lighting, color psychology, and ergonomics, to create a space that promotes a sense of calm, relaxation, and rejuvenation. Holistic design also takes into account the environment and the impact that design decisions have on sustainability and the planet.

Why is Holistic Design Important?
Holistic design is essential for creating a space that supports our overall health and wellbeing. Studies have shown that our environment affects our mood, energy levels, and productivity. For example, natural light has been linked to improved sleep patterns, while certain colors can evoke specific emotions. In contrast, poor air quality and artificial lighting can lead to health problems such as headaches, eye strain, and respiratory issues.

Holistic design also promotes sustainability and responsible design choices, which are critical in today's world. By choosing eco-friendly materials, reducing waste, and using renewable resources, we can create a space that's not only healthy for us but also for the planet.

Creating a healthy and balanced living environment involves more than just interior design. Space clearing, aromatherapy, and other holistic approaches can help to balance the energy in your home, promote relaxation and stress relief, and create a sense of well-being. Here's everything you need to know about incorporating these practices into your living space.

Space Clearing
Space clearing is the process of removing stagnant or negative energy from a space, allowing fresh, positive energy to flow freely. This technique has been used for centuries in various cultures and traditions, including Feng Shui and Native American practices. Space clearing can be achieved through various methods, including burning sage or palo santo, ringing bells, or using essential oils. To incorporate space clearing into your home, begin by decluttering and cleaning your space thoroughly. Then, choose a method that resonates with you and your beliefs, and perform the practice in each room of your home. Be mindful of your intention and visualize the energy shifting as you clear each space.

Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy uses essential oils to promote health and well-being. Essential oils are extracted from plants and contain various properties that can have a positive effect on the body and mind. Lavender, for example, is known for its calming properties, while peppermint can help to increase energy and focus. To incorporate aromatherapy into your home, consider using a diffuser or oil burner to disperse the oils throughout your space. You can also add a few drops of essential oils to your bath, use them to make homemade cleaning products, or add them to your laundry.

Other Holistic Approaches
Other holistic approaches that can help to promote a healthy and balanced living environment include:

Crystal healing: Using crystals to balance energy and promote healing. Sound therapy: Using sound waves to promote relaxation and reduce stress.
Color therapy: Using color to promote healing and balance. To incorporate these practices into your home, consider adding crystals to your decor, using a sound machine or singing bowl, or choosing colors that promote the desired effect in each room.

Incorporating space clearing, aromatherapy, and other holistic approaches into your living space can help to promote a healthy and balanced environment. By taking a holistic approach to your home's energy and well-being, you can create a space that supports your physical, emotional, and spiritual health. Experiment with different methods and practices to find what resonates with you and your lifestyle, and enjoy the benefits of a healthy and balanced living space.
