Nobody apologizes anymore, They just disappear and call it moving on. Accountability died somewhere between pride and ego. People would rather lose someone than admit they were wrong.
We've normalized walking away instead of working through it. Communication became optional, ghosting became the standard response to discomfort. Even closure isn't guaranteed anymore, people just leave you with questions and call it self care. Growth without honesty isn't growth, it's just avoidance wearing a better outfit.
Venus goes retrograde TOMORROW. October 3 - November 13.
DO NOT do these 6 things:
- DO NOT get married. The vow sets in reverse.
- DO NOT get the tattoo, the piercing or the cosmetic work. Venus rules the skin. The retrograde rules regret.
- DO NOT buy anything beautiful and expensive. You'll return it or resent it.
- DO NOT text the ex first. Let them come. They will. Maybe.
- DO NOT sign a partnership. Business or romantic.
- DO NOT start a relationship you want to keep. Reconnect with old friends, yes. Begin a new romance, no.
What you CAN do:
- reconcile, refund, revisit, repair. A retrograde is a second look, not a first step.
Save this. You'll need it on the 9th, the 18th and the 27th.
And Now You Know ☆
Dear Lord,
Today, make creating come naturally, simplify what challenged me last week, remove what keeps slowing my progress, keep my responsibilities from overwhelming me, clear my mind, sharpen my strategy and strengthen me to finish everything my hands touch. Let this be the week I finally see what happens when preparation and grace meet at the same time. in Jesus’ name. amen🙏🏽
Dear Lord,
Today, take me further than my family has ever gone, enlarge what I believe is possible, let my life introduce a new standard for everyone coming behind me, develop the leader in me, increase the weight of my influence and make me patient enough to trust Your timing without lowering my expectations for where You’re taking me. in Jesus’ name. amen🙏🏽
Dear Lord,
Today, sharpen my discernment, confirm what my spirit keeps questioning, expose every hidden motive and make manipulation obvious before it becomes damaging. Let no relationship make me distrust what I clearly see, no explanation make me excuse repeated behavior and no attachment convince me to call disrespect a misunderstanding. in Jesus’ name.
amen🙏🏽
It’s hard to imagine many people having a bigger impact than Dolly Parton. Born in a one-room cabin, she earned 11 Grammys and an Emmy, built a business empire, helped millions of kids learn to read, and — as if that wasn’t enough — helped accelerate the research that led to the Moderna COVID vaccine. What a life. Michelle and I are thinking of Dolly’s family and her many, many fans.
I'm sorry we never got a chance to meet, but getting this note from Dolly really had a an impact on me. She definitely didn't have to take the time to do it. Even for a kid who mostly listened to rap music, she was an icon. A superstar in every sense. Rest easy Dolly. And thank you for the kind words.
Your childhood experiences are never your fault, but your adult responsibility is to heal from them so you don't damage every person who tries to love you.
Emotionally immature partners cause decision fatigue.
They add more to your plate, because you have to anticipate their emotional reactions.
Why you feel like you work so hard...
There's an invisible mental load we carry with an emotionally immature partner.
It's the burden of thinking about right time to bring something up and how to word it the right away.
You don't get to speak uncensored to someone that can hear you, even when it's uncomfortable.
Instead you have to anticipate how they'll hook on to words, raise their voice, and deny your experience.
When something really bothers you, you know you won't be met with understanding and co-regulation.
You don't have the peace that comes with knowing your partner can hear difficult things without spiraling, blaming, or shutting down.
The relationship feels like work because it is.
It's the work of countless decisions it takes to manage another adult's emotional state.
While your emotional world goes unseen, unheard, and unnoticed.
