Reminders from Spirit and Acceptance

A view of small lake. In the foreground are branches of a nearly bare tree. Dried leaves and vegetation line the nearside shoreline. In the water are a few pairs of Canadian geese. Trees line the left and right shores and are reflected in the calm water. The sky is clear and bright blue. In the far background you can see the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. Two peaks are visible; one is a shade of purple, the other is topped in white snow.

Reminders and Acceptance.

As much as I write about my spiritual awakening process, there are times when I still need reminders from Spirit. There are times I need to be reminded of the process itself and how to move forward. There are times when I need to be reminded that it all serves a purpose. And then, like this weekend, there are times when I need to be reminded about acceptance.

This year has been one of the hardest years of my life. In this lifetime I have survived cancer and a divorce, but this year almost took me out. I watched my life fall apart and didn’t understand why it was happening. I lost my housing. I lost most of my material possessions. I had no income for most of the year. I tried to find employment and rebuild my life but nothing worked. It was scary and frustrating.

That is how I have described this year in posts on this blog. On the surface it seems correct, but this weekend I was reminded to take a deeper look. I was reminded that all things serve a purpose, multiple purposes, and all at the same time.

It wasn’t until recent months that I understood that the deconstruction of my life was intentional. And it wasn’t until recent weeks that I came to accept that it was serving a purpose. And it wasn’t until recent days that I accepted my current life situation.

I see now that the purpose was growth, healing, expansion, strength, and resilience. Everything that I’ve been through has changed me. I see now that I was both deconstructing and reconstructing at the same time. The many purposes were layered and interwoven.

This weekend I was reminded that some things have to be deconstructed, razed to the ground, before rebuilding can begin. There is healing and growth in letting go and leaving the old behind. I was also reminded that sometimes we are moving forward even when it seems like everything is falling apart.

All this time I have been building my spiritual and emotional foundation as my material life was being dismantled. It has taken me most of this year, but I have finally learned to accept the process, the situation, and the purposes. I have found my way to acceptance and it is a relief. 

Acceptance means that I have moved past suffering. It means that I am at peace with both the process and the purpose. It means that I have awareness that I am moving forward. Awareness of the purposes. 

A Walk in the Park.

On Saturday I walked to a nearby park. I took the image used in this post on that walk. It was a beautiful day, the synchronicities were flowing, and I was grateful to be back in Denver. As I was returning from the park I received another reminder. 

Spirit and soul do not need perfection. Commitment, consistency, and perseverance are all they are asking for. They are all we need to bring to our spiritual paths and spiritual awakening processes. When our path becomes challenging we need only to get back up, dust ourselves off, and try again.

Spirit and soul are supporting me and telling me to keep going. That all of this deconstruction is purposeful. I have grown, healed, expanded, strengthened, and have become more resilient. I am being prepared for all that is coming - energies, people, blessings, opportunities, and breakthroughs.

This year, 2025, is a 9 year in numerology. It brings completions and transformations. Parts of my life have come to an end. They were intended to. It was purposeful.

Next year, 2026, is a 1 year in numerology. It brings fresh starts and new beginnings. I am counting on this energy to rebuild my life and deliver many new opportunities and blessings.

This week Saturn and Mercury go direct. Maybe this energy will help me begin to rebuild my material life. Maybe acceptance of my situation will allow me to begin to rebuild my material life. Maybe my ability to get back up, dust myself off, and try again will help me begin again. Maybe it is my strength and resilience that is meant to help me begin again.

No matter what it takes or how it happens, I hope it happens soon. And in the meantime, I am grateful that my spiritual life and emotional life are thriving. I am grateful that Spirit and soul are supporting me. I am grateful for a walk in the park.
