Today is your wake up call! We are halfway through Mercury Retrograde and it's also our quarter Moon phase. Both of these cosmic events asks us to be open to a shift in consciousness and a re-calibration of our future intentions. It is a day to stop hitting the snooze button and choosing to go back to sleep in the face of change. It is a day to stop fighting against the "traumatic" or unsettling events in your life and allow them to teach you the lessons that you need to learn, so you can move forward. Living consciously is not all roses or happy endings. There is a reason why many of us choose to remain asleep. Waking up means that we feel everything—the good and the bad.Waking up means that we have to take responsibility for our lives and start moving toward our purpose. And all of this can be scary and exhausting. So, it is perfectly understandable that you may want to hit the snooze button. However, if you are hearing the wake-up calls now, please don’t ignore them. You don’t have to wait until your wake-up call becomes a full-blown alarm. You don’t have to hit the snooze button any longer. It is true that waking up can be painful, but it’s also such a beautiful way to live. And it sure beats sleeping your life away. Today wake up to your truth and choose not to allow your ego to go back to sleep.

Just for today, I am willing to see how and where I need to change. I choose to believe that it is easy to change a thought or a pattern. I am not a victim. I am willing to take responsibility for all my actions, feelings and thoughts. I am willing to take responsibility of my life. I trust the power that created me to protect me and guide me at all times and under all circumstances. Out of this situation only good will come. And so it is.
