Just moved the blog over to Wordpress! But I wanted to give you a little taste of what's in store for you over there! Still the same confluence of inspirations, but with an increased focus on adding a little more of my own voice! Enjoy! And Journey on, you beautiful soul! ∆ Selena
“Essentially, your Saturn return is a test. What is it testing? Maybe a better question is, what is is NOT testing?! Saturn is a hard taskmaster, & Saturn wants you to learn the difficult lessons so that you can move forward with your life. During your Saturn return, you will be asked repeatedly to prove that you have learned from the challenges you’ve faced over the last 29 years. During this time, it might feel like everything is thrown into turmoil, from your relationships to your career, even down to your family situation & where you live. ” ~GalaDarling Blog
Wow, this has been the last 2 years of my life… I couldn’t have said it better. And with that said, I am embarking on a jorney. This will be in direct opposition to the last few years in which my journey was an inward one. And for the record, I don’t regret a single second of it. My introversion was completely necessary. I would have probably spontaneously combusted by now if I hadn’t been drawn to do so! So here is the beginning of my lifelong attempt to be more open, more present, and less afraid!

I am inspired by so much, but sometimes when I go to share it, for the last couple of years, it feels like I might be hiding behind the inspirations. Maybe, just maybe… I am using the beautiful visuals and heart pounding inspirational quotes as a distraction. If I give you something amazing to look at along with a quote that aids in the expansion of your consciousness, you will be less likely to look at me and pick out all of my flaws and inconsistencies. It has never been my attempt to be preachy or holyer than thou… but sometimes I forget to put MY voice into things. I now see that because of that, my message lacked something ~ A substance beyond form ~ An intangible essence… it lacked ME! I have a voice… I have a lot to say… I also have a lot of questions! If we can never get over ourselves long enough to ask those questions… what do we have?And with that, I will leave you with a small list of beautiful reminders. I will definitely keep this list close to my heart as I journey out of Saturn’s cycle. And I hope this provides some level of insight, in whatever capacity it finds you!
Journey on, you beautiful soul!

Never compare yourself to anyone else. No matter what stage you’re at right now, that is the exact place you should be. We all move, grow & mature at different times, but that doesn’t make any of us better or worse than one another. Someone may have their career all figured out but their relationships are a mess, while you might have your spirituality on lock but haven’t learned to save any money yet. It’s okay. You’ll get there. Take it one day at a time. Take responsibility for your thoughts & actions. I say this over & over & over, but now is REALLY the time to put it into action! You will never be in control of your life or your emotions until you start to own up to everything you think & everything you do. Choose your place in the world carefully. If where you are at — either mentally, emotionally, spiritually or physically — is not working for you, & if you know deep down in your gut that it is wrong, then change it. The only person with the power to change your life is YOU. Start journalling, if you’re not already. My Saturn return started on Saturday (!!!) & I have literally been waking up in the middle of the night with profound thoughts & realisations about my own patterns & psychology. Take notes of all of these things! It is one of the best ways to work through them. Look at your issues around men. This is relevant for women particularly. Saturn represents the father, & it is extremely common for our “daddy issues” to rear their heads during our Saturn return. Examine the kinds of men you attract into your life & your relationships to them. Start to schedule your time. The return of Saturn is telling you — in no uncertain terms — that it’s time to grow up. The days of being late, disorganised or forgetful are over! I started using Google Calendar last year & it has changed my life, no joke! Be sure to schedule in things you want to do, too, like a yoga class or a workshop. It’ll make it even more likely to actually happen! Recognise that your life is your own, & no one can tell you who or what to be or do. If your lover is controlling, tell him or her to back off! If your family is pressuring you to follow a certain path, explain to them that you are going to follow your passions & dreams no matter what! Start to create boundaries around your life. Otherwise, people will bulldoze right over you. Get on top of the little things: pay your bills on time, set up automatic payments to go into a savings account, go to the doctor & the dentist, go through all your mail & make sure you are 100% on top of it. I know this might seem like an overwhelming task, but it’s not! Just break it down into little pieces & tick them off, day by day. Start saying no. I would bet $100 that you have more on your plate than is necessary. I would bet another $500 that these things are causing you stress, anxiety & the occasional pimple! Review the things you do, & start crossing some of them out of your life permanently. Your time & energy are valuable. Better to do a few things well, than a hundred things sub-par… Process Saturn’s lessons… because if you don’t, you’ll be doomed to repeat them further down the line. Take time for yourself. Meditate on the changes & give yourself the space you need to work through them. Learn to view change as a positive thing. During your Saturn return, you might get divorced, lose your job, or realise your friends weren’t ever really there for you at all. All of these things HURT, but they only hurt as much as you allow them to. Recognise that getting divorced creates space in your life for someone who truly loves you. Losing your job frees you to follow your passions & do something meaningful. Discovering the truth about your faux-friends will allow real, true, deep friendships to emerge. Let go of your grudges & bitterness. A lot happens in the lead-up to 29. We are not the same as we were when we were 17 or 23 (thankfully!), & maybe we are a little less enthusiastic, or a little more cautious these days. Don’t be. Learn from your mistakes, learn from the people around you, but still strive onward with positivity. Don’t allow your past disappointments to shape your future. Take chances, & work hard. Saturn rewards hard-workers & risk-takers. This is not the time to play it safe or play small. Take action & recognise that your inclinations towards procrastination or idle time-wasting are over!Three Corners On Wordpress: http://threecornersdesigns.wordpress.com/
