Make it Happen

This year has been full of changes and waiting. Lots of waiting and practicing the art of patience and faith that everything is always working out. Change happens just before a big expansion. When you have big goals and dreams there are going to be times that we go through big changes and it might feel like nothing is going right. Things are just shifting in your world to create space for your big life upgrades.

There will be times when everything comes to a screaming halt and all you have to do is sit and wait and integrate.

I have been quite proud of myself this year. I have been in these waiting periods before and I have not been so graceful. I have thrown tantrums and swore at the universe and cried and yelled (in my head) what the fuck do you want from me.

I was ready to write a blog and I still will, but it was going to be about when I took another courageous leap and left a toxic relationship to move interstate to help my mum care for my Dad who had dementia while dodging covid border closures. From those hard times on the other side was amazing alignment and dreams coming true. Things that I had visualised constantly for years started to manifest into reality. I know they wouldn’t have happened if I didn’t deal with the hard things first.

So this year just to give you a bit of an update and what’s happening, that I know will lead to amazing manifestations however one being bittersweet.

The year started off with me and my gorgeous man buying a caravan with the intention to go away on weekends and plan a big trip along whatever coast we chose in Australia to chase the sand, sun and surf. The dreams felt short lived having the caravan being seized by the inspection unit to investigate whether it had been stolen or written off. This happened in January 2024. The jury is still out. I am yet to see what the beautiful outcome and upgrade is going to be for this situation but I know it will turn out perfectly.

Then in March someone pulled out in front of me while I was traveling at 110kms an hour to pull up managing to only side swipe her and a bit of damage to the driver’s side headlight (it still works) and panel and is still drivable. I am still waiting on an assessment through my insurance company as to whether it will be written off or not. Either way it led me to finding a new car I want to buy whatever the outcome is.

In the meantime I was working on getting my Dad from an aged care facility in Adelaide back to Mount Gambier so that he could finally be with his family after 2.5 years of being away from us. It was a long time coming and seeing my Dad neglected in the aged care home was heartbreaking. In the theme of ‘Make it Happen’ this week, I made it happen, I got Dad into an aged care facility in Mount Gambier. It was a series of events that fell into place and I was able to get him home to be with his family.

Things come in three’s right? Ha ha ha maybe they come in fours. Who knows. It’s been a year, I tell you.

In April I signed up to do a program called Take to the Stage with the awesome Nicole Joy on the Gold Coast. I booked flights, accommodation, hire car, the works. A few weeks into it I started to get bad anxiety. The kind that had me gritting and grinding my teeth and not being able to sleep properly. I thought it was the fear of getting up on stage talking in front of people. I thought about the fact that I had talked in front of lots of people before and haven’t had this kind of reaction before. I didn’t want people to think that I couldn’t do it because I was too anxious. I sat with it and in a weird way justified why I couldn’t go to Queensland and talk on stage. It couldn’t just be my body’s way of telling me not to go for reasons I didn’t know yet. Narrator: It was in fact her body’s way of telling her not to go for reasons she didn’t know yet. However she listened.

As soon as I said I am not going and cancelled all the bookings my body relaxed and felt relieved. All I will say is I am so glad I cancelled that trip. That is a story for another blog that I will be sharing when the time is right.

So that’s an update on my life this year. In true Butterfly Heart style there is always a lesson. An opportunity to heal my heart to create transformation. 

For me I would say that in the midst of chaos and upheaval and the roller coaster of emotions that this year has brought I can still stay focused on my dreams and work towards manifesting them.

There are lots of things to look forward to and create and be in service to you.
The creative inspiration and passion is flowing and I am excited to share with you all the things I have planned moving forward.

Enjoy your week and remember to always keep your chin up as there is always something to look forward to even if you can’t see it yet.
