You Need Nothing But YOU

Momentous Mirror Moments

Jan 24, 2025

If you learn nothing else from me, my writing, my books, whatever you decide to engage with, I just want you to walk away with at least this one thing!

You are your source.

Make no one or nothing else your ultimate source of happiness, peace, prosperity, joy, well-being.

Truly, you don’t need anything outside yourself.

And, I know you can’t help but feel lately, the collective emotions, outlooks, and demeanor. I know I do. I notice we’ve become so easily shifted in our knowing by the changes of the climate, the weather, who holds office, and whatever crimes hit the mainstream media. It’s unsettling how it also seems to bleed into the spiritual communities, too.

Our ancestors, who tracked the skies with nothing but their intuition and a deep reverence for the cosmos, would see moments of profound significance as a sign to pay attention, to align with the inevitable flow of the universe, and maybe to check in with their own path. A moment to notice.

Astrology, numerology, meteorology, and cosmology is helpful, yes.

There are auspicious times, yes.

However, you were never meant to be bound by them.

Not a new moon. Not a full moon. Not the stars aligning.

Yes, we’re tiny specks in an unfathomably vast universe, but we’re also conscious beings connected to that infinite universe, reflecting its patterns, capable of co-creating with its energy. Capable of going beyond what is already been explored.

Anyone, anything that makes you feel a lack of freedom to act on your inspirations, or that limits your thinking and imaginative creative power in anyway, does more harm than good.

You, goddess, are the magic, so create rather than react.

When I first started exploring the skies and the signs (more out of curiosity than anything), I didn’t fully understand how much these cosmic shifts mirrored the shifts happening within me. Now, I see it differently. These alignments don’t force change, they invite it.

But I get it….sometimes, life gets heavy. And, it might just make you forget a bit. Things aren’t aligning like you thought, you’re stuck in a loop of disappointment, fretting, complaining, uncertainty or feeling like the world owes you something. Here’s the truth: The universe owes you nothing. But when you stop sulking in suffering and victim consciousness; you step into your goddess essence. This is the point you realize that you owe yourself everything.

So, what’s a girl to do when she’s ready to stop crying and start learning, exploring and creating?

For me, this moment feels like a nudge to step back and check in with my own alignment.

Am I licensing my creative control in this story of me?
Am I acting in a way that instills a confident knowing of both my earthbound self and my divine connection?
Am I allowing my higher self to steer me, or am I stuck in the roller-coaster of day-to-day distractions?

These aren’t easy questions, but they’re the ones worth asking.

An oppurtunity to address the Am I’s? of uncertainty with the knowing of I am!

Several months ago, I woke up feeling particularly drained. The night before, I there was friction in my marriage. We were having a very hard time seeing eye to eye, and I felt so lost and disgruntled. When I fell asleep, I found myself feeling totally out of it. Emotionally drained. I woke up, tired. On the brink of despair. I could feel the pull to sink into the couch, scroll, and stew in my misery.

Instead, my pity party was interrupted.

My cousin called me to check in and, of course, to rant about her own problems. As usual, I kept my composure. I listened, holding space like I always do, quietly keeping my own issues to myself. Considerately, not wanting to ruin her day, I kept my replies robotic using neutral language like I’m “okay”, “fine”, “good”, etc. But as she expressed more animatedly about her week, I couldn’t help but notice something familiar in her words. The same frustrations, doubts, and fears I had been wrestling with in my head. She was mirroring out loud, reflecting back the lower thoughts and vibrations I had been carrying since last night, but hadn’t fully surrendered.

Without even thinking, I found myself offering her the words of encouragement I so desperately needed to hear.

Mid-rant, I hit her with, “Okay, I hear you, but what do you actually want? You’ve told me what you don’t want. Now focus, babe. What’s your vision?”

And in that moment, I realized the universe had set this up perfectly. Sometimes life places a mirror right in front of you, not to judge, but to reveal. The duality/disdain of those negative moments, the family drama, the disappointments, the turmoil, is all just a way of showing you what pieces don’t fit in your vision, so you can finally focus on what does.

Out of the confusion, and chaos, comes now the clarity. It’s when you finally decide with great emotional clarity, “I don’t like this. I don’t want it. I want something better.”

It was like a slap (a gentle one!) back into my goddess reality.

The duality of life, the darkness we encounter in others, the challenges, the letdowns, the disappointments, is not a life sentence of misery. It’s a moment to notice. It’s feedback. It’s the universe asking you to choose. It’s compare, contrast in showing you the direction to your desires.

Thanks for reading Golden Goddess Alchemy! This post is public so feel free to share it.

So, take a moment to notice uncomfortable truths.

Trust the process, trust yourself, and watch your life transform as you move out of victim mode and into your goddess power.

You’re not just a woman; you’re a force of nature. Start acting like it.
