I’ve lit candles and burned incense for weeks speaking on leaving our terrible house behind and moving onto greater things…
14 nights ago I started a load of laundry in my Brand spankin’ new Washer and Dryer and carelesslywent off to bed. At exactly Midnight, my family woke me up in a panic.. the basement was on fire.
My new washer and dryer had blown the Electrical Box and started a fire in the walls and basement of the house.
I threw it on EVERYTHING. The box, the things around it that were on fire…. luckily nothing important was lost. Gardening things, tools and toys. All things that are very muchreplaceable.
Fire Marshall’s came out and deemed the building unsafe to live in due to faulty/outdated electricity. All utilities have been shut off and here we are…. out of the house…
My Manifestations have worked.
As uncomfortable and stressfilled as this has been, I am so grateful.
I am grateful to be out and headed into our next stage of life. Just as I have asked for, but my oh my, how unpredictable The Universe can be while delivering our requests.
We will see how this plays into my next stages… for now I am just along for this unpredictable, wild ride.
&& Remaining Grateful for My Intuition that has kept me 3 steps ahead this entire time.
I have continued to work hard and have yet to skip a beat.
Business is still well and The Animal Arts Academy is still on way to open April 1st. SOmany shifts happening all at once! My lap is OH SO FULL of new opportunities.
One thing I could maybe use, is some sleep, but there’s little to no time for that now.
When sending out energy, love&& light, please keep my family and I in your thoughts. We can absolutely use all the positivity we can absorb right now as we work toward anything and everythingbetter.
As always, I appreciate all of you and This wild, crazy Universe who has me right where I am supposed to be.
Ive spent a couple weeks daydreaming of a brighter future..
Right in the midst of a time I am pressing myself to be vigilant on focusing on my future. Focusing all of my energy on bringing to me the signs and means to move in the directions the universe wants me to move in and trusting that she has a plan for me.
I just went through a pretty long stretch of being down and unmotivated, trapped in the cycle of doing for others and exerting my energy on all of the wrong efforts. I dont know what hit me or when exactly I snapped out of it, but it hit me.
“What are you doing!?”
You’re willing to work THIS hard for not even half of the reward and miss out on SO MUCH LIVING for someone else, but you say you don’t want your own business because of the extra work???
Then I asked myself WHY??
Its the validation. Its the recognition. It’s the ego stroke you get when someone tells you you’re the hardest worker they know, or that no one does it better… but really, what they mean is “Im glad I’ve got you on my team, you make my life easier” – “You make me a lot of money, I hope you stick around”.
BUT
Why do we need validation from someone “higher up” to make us feel accepted?? Why tf don’t I work this hard for ME and use my same hard working mindset to exhaust myself each day to work for ME? To make ME and Mine a future?…
I’ve had what it takes the whole time…
I just didn’t want to apply it because then, its all on me, all for me… and what if I fail? What if I get tired and want to give up?….
I do all of that shit now. We all do. So the truthful answer is, THERE IS NO EXCUSE.
Im just afraid to fail and that will be mine too… MY failure.
I’ve sat in plenty of failure.
No sweat.
Failure I can handle.
Its the plunge ill have to work up to. Because Im hard on myself… Im hard on myself and I have a hard time seeing what I AM instead of what I’ve been made to feel like I am.
I’m probably my own worst enemy (at least in that sense..)
I barely know how to “human” normally these days.. I’ve secluded myself to my work and to my craft, and I have grown significantly in both.
I joke that I aim to be a Witch for a living and then I’d never have to groom another dog again!
Apart from teaching others to do so in the future of course…
The secret is…
I’m only halfway joking.
In a room full of people, I can not hold a normal conversation. Unless by chance, they start it first and happen to find a subject in which I can engage…
Otherwise, I’m just awkward.
Awkward and waiting for my moment to ask what their signs are.
And if you don’t know them, then I’ll gladly offer to help you discover them!
I’ve affirmed this over myself for years now, not realizing how literal I’d one day take the phrase. In this stage, it seems so Universal.
It makesSOmuch sense.
I am.
Eye am.
My “professional” witching has begun as practice in Tarot Readings for friends. I have spent literal YEARS assisting friends and strangers alike in self love rituals, house and spiritual cleansings, blessings, affirmations and creating Hoodoo Jars (both sweet and sour).
Growing my craft as I hopefully inspire others to grow their own
Am I weird?Definitely.
Do I mind?Not so much…
I can only hope to get more weird over time.
More weird, more spiritual, more connected and more successful in my goals to Witch and avoid civilization successfully.
Welcome to new ideas, new adventures, new inspirations and entirely new journeys. May whatever this year holds for you be abundant,fresh and engaging.
As with every new year, dead things die off with its closing. Friendships/relationships that no longer feed your soul dwindle, jobs that poison your drive find their end, and we shed our skins to reveal our brand new selves. Ideally weightless with new found freedoms and quite “airy” with new ideas and visions.
I hope every single one of them flourish in 2022.
I myself, have shed my skin and refreshed my visions… with a less than appealing end to 2021, I cut snakes and weasels from the circle I’ve worked the past 4 years to selectively build.
While it’s frustrating to admit I was duped yet again, it’s refreshing to wake up and comfortably wish well on those I hold dear and know no one undeserving is receiving my blessings(or protection) and in return, I will not carry the stress and weight of their toxic auras.
This in itself has been irreplaceable.
“When did a Dragon ever die from the poison of a Snake?” -Nietzche
I’m reconnecting with my creativity more and more each day. Exhaustion is replaced by inspiration.. my visions for the future are becoming more clear and when you wake up happy and excited for the future, your motivation can be unmatched!
While The Grooming Gypsy started as a quite literal idea on a 5 to 7 year plan, I now see her with new eyes. I see her as a metaphor. Plans of hopping into a nostalgic van, filled with all of my happy things/people and hitting the road! Where drama, stress and gossip can’t reach me and no one expects a damn thing from me, except me!
I wanted to run away from everything that caused me stress. Because running away seemed easier and warranted less drama than facing the stresses I had attached myself to. My stresses were living, breathing cancers to my spirit. An aggressive “cancer” with a spiteful knack of spilling it’s poisonous “yuck” onto anything it attached itself to.
&& As we know, cancer grows… One form spread into two and so, The Snake and The Weasle were born. A “dynamic duo” fueled by false ego and the hungerfor a sense of power. What started as a fun partnership for the two will inevitably end in its own final showdown that thankfully, the rest of us will have no part of.
Now new ideas have been formed! While The Grooming Gypsy (traveling edition) still has room and time to flourish in the years to come, my middle journey to get there has officially been born!
7 years ago I formed a bond with my bather who I now call my Best Friend and a fellow Groomer/Business Woman. We daydreamed of doggy pools, doggy hotels and daycares… we invisioned it ALL! I’m not sure if we ever actually cared what we were doing, as long as we were doing it for dogs and we were doing it together! For 4 years we did everything together. Made it out of our first immoral, toxic, private owned shop, ran kennels and daycares…parted ways for a while and built grooming businesses of our own, but always kept the dream alive of linking back up for something huge in the future, whatever it would end up being.
The future is now!
2022 has come full force and though we are town’s away, we now know what “The Future” is and we are universally being brought back together for MUCH more exciting things than we had ever previously imagined!
&& YES, there will be dogs. ❤
The simple cutting of ties between ourselves and the stress of toxic relationships seemed to open doors and make room for new successes almost simultaneously. As if they were here waiting all along…
As “The Future” (for us) is being brought to life, I’ve chose to keep a tight lid on its precise development. For one, to keep the excitement alive and fresh and for two, to keep the cancerous thoughts and doubts of others from plaguing the positivity we now flourish in.
We are powerful beings with bright new ideas and we can not wait to share them with you as they come to life. For now, we are sowing our seeds, tending our gardens and awaiting a beautiful bounty of growth and developement in the spring.
Stay tuned for exciting details as the future unfolds and as always, you can expect a shared spiritual outlook on what The Universe blesses us with next.
I hope you are as excited as we are…
I hope 2022 breathes all new life into your spirit and success follows you throughout all of your ventures this coming year.
I hope your dead ends fall off painlessly and your ideas flow effortlessly into realities.
I hope you do something new, see new places, achieve new milestones and grow into a newer you.
I hope 2022 is nothing but good for you and leaves you well.
Mostly because 2021 sucked and I believe we all deserve it.
Being “Official” has come with so many side projects that I’m not sure if I’ll ever be finished! – Products, Business Cards, Licensing, Booking Systems…
Let’s just say, I’ll be glad when it’s all good and settled!…
Life has come at me full force ever since I’ve started stepping more intentionally, and my oh my, how it’s never slowed down!
I catch myself speaking about “too much to do”, “not enough time”, “how will I ever get it all done”?? – But then I remind myself, I’ve asked for this!
Ive asked for this, and now I’m receiving it, because hard work is rewarded!
I could not be more grateful.
I’m in no rush to reachperfection by next week. I have forever to continue perfecting my craft. So I take my time, complete my tasks and slowly but surely it’s all falling into place quite flawlessly.
Branding has been fun.
Personalizing Stickers and Cards and branching out into networking with other traveling Groomers and Host Shops… I could not be more excited to see what else this Universe holds for my future…
All I know, is in my bones— I feel it’s everything I’ve ever sat and imagined…
I share constant “Thank You’s” with her, because *this is it*
This is my calling.
My clients have been so supportive!
Just ashappy as I am for my opportunity to branch out andgrow in my own direction. I am both flattered and humbled at how many people have shared in on my happiness in starting this new adventure…
&& so many people already happy to be seeing and even hosting
“The Grooming Gypsy”.
I have the BEST clients.
I am lucky enough to be motivated and constantly pushed forward in my goals. They believe in me so much!
Which is nice… It feels good to be loved!
So in my absence from my writing and from my craft, I’ve been being productive in other very important aspects of moving this vision forward. Because with a brain as scattered as mine, I can not keep focus on too many things at once.
Unfortunately, my attention to business has cut back on my attention to my writing.
I apologize.
Hopefully I have hit a point of “calm” in all of this busy-ness and I can get back to the artisticparts of myself…
One can dream!
As we know 🌟
– yours truly.
I hope everyone has a Lovely Holiday Season. WithFamily, Friends, New Successes and New Adventures.
I’ve been so silent in the Internet world…. no blogging, no social media posting, no aimless scrolling, but Ive been busy making all the right moves here in the physical, real world.
I’m OFFICIALLY The Grooming Gypsy, LLC!
Making my dreams a reality has come with many responsibilities that have taken from my time to craft or to write.. I miss them both but I am on the move to create myself a reality where I no longer have to sacrifice the things I love in order to make a living… I am creating my way to make them one in the same.
Last month I was absolutely FLOORED by the things that fully manifested in what felt like MOMENTS right before my very eyes. Things I dwelled on, worked hard and nearly almost broke down over…. right before the meltdown, My every single thought and desire was literally placed at my feet.
&& So I am humbled. Humbled and absolutely more empowered than I have possibly ever been!
Quite the condtradiction right!?
I usually am.
So in the last couple weeks, I have gotten my Business License and been doing all of the fine tuning and purchasing of things needed. I have chugged right along and brought my girls from my home shop with me! We have ALL been blessed with the opportunity to flourish and I am seizing mine!
Now I work… I work on keeping my mind focused, completing the tasks that seem daunting and intimidating and I work on not getting ahead of myself.
All in due time, the tables will turn and all of the growth I am impatiently waiting on will be here right before my very eyes, more than I ever expected.
I am getting so caught up in the bright and successful future I WANT, that I have forgotten to pay any attention to the now and to what I already HAVE..
Im being impatient.
&& Ungrateful. (when there is so much to be grateful for)
We don’t attract what we want. We attract what we are.
Wayne W. Dyer on The Law of Attraction.
When we focus on what we don’t have, then weDONT have a lot, but when wefocus on what we have coming to us, our blessings and successes,more blessings and success find us.
I have damaged myself in this thought cycle more than once before…. dwellingin the negatives instead of focusing on the positives...
BUT
Mindset really IS everything.
So now that I’ve caught it… its time to feed my mind healthy thoughts. Spend less time in the “Why me’s” and more time in the “Watch what I can do’s”….. && maybe this time, Ill get stuck there. (fingers crossed)
I’ve got my business in mind. A dream that is being brought to life. A business that will be successful, fun and rewarding. As long as I build it to be so.
I'm spending my time at home building a space to start with..
Nothing much… just a section in my home that I can set up to be my very messy “office” for the time being. With the help of supportive and inspiring friends and a more than motivatingfamily, I am armed with equipment and an idea that (thanks to the above stated supportive friends) I have decided to make more than “just a daydream.”
apart from the workspace…
I return again to the concept that we attract what we focus on….our minds are such powerful things.. therefore, my mind,body and spirit must have a comfortable and inviting space to growin (&& out of). Ultimately providing myself the happiness and inspiration Im in need of on this journey to make dreams, realities.
&& Maybe I’m wording this all wrong…. because its not comfort I need or have had that has driven me to push for more… its been my DIS-comfort. It’s been my hugespirit and dreamsconfined inside the smallspace I’ve given myself to breathe (or dream) in… that and the words of a good friend, “sounds like you’re already uncomfortable so what are you waiting on?”
She is absolutely right.
What in the hell am I waiting on?
In all honesty… Im waiting on a “go ahead”, a sign, a “perfect moment” that’s never going to come and those words were exactlywhat I needed in that moment. Im not waiting on anything… Im waiting onME.
& I’ve just been in my way.
So with the full moon just days away and my preparation in full gear, Ill focus my intentions. Ill meditate on my goals and visions and Ill work.
Ill work my ass off.
I’ll get my small, messy basement office, Ill keep putting every tip I get in the envelope I hide from myself and I’ll keep brainstorming all of the ways to make my dream work on realistic terms.
Most of all, Ill keep my mind set on positive things. Ill stay motivated and focus on the goal at hand…and take conscious steps to keep a strong, healthy and most of all, powerful mind every single day.
This brain, these thoughts and My willpower will be the Magick that leads this dream to fruition.
I keep getting stuck on “The Big Question”….. What is my purpose?
I know a million things I excel at.. I know quite a few things I enjoy and would be happy to spend the rest of my life doing, but WHAT is the right “thing“? – WHY is it so damn hard to know the right answer?… IS there only one answer? *sigh*
At the age of 9, I was a Storm Chaser. A Tomb Raider, A Veterinarian. A Forensic Investigator, A Ghost Hunter…and Im sure, much more.
I had Big Dreams. I knew what I wanted. (Which was apparently non-stop action andanxiety.) All of these were awesome options that never came to flourish because regardless of how realistic or unrealistically obtainable these options were, I lost the dream..
I plummeted to earth somewhere in my teen years like we all tend to do.. I set down my whimsical dreams of an exciting life doing the things that I loved and I settled for what would “do” to get me by… I became…. “just another brick in wall”
Huge respect to the wonderful Artist in Pink Floyd that made one sentence that says so much more..
But thats not me…
I'm much more than just a brick..
I am a wrecking ball.
So what do I do to break the mold? In what way am I so “super special” that I can come up with “the one thing” that will stand out among the crowd? Is it The Grooming Gypsy?..
What a commitment it would be to sell all of our belongings, invest in an RV and ultimately change our entire way of life… Do we really want to commit to a minimalist, nomad way of living? To leave behind basic conveniences such as gas/electric, running water, quick trips to the grocery stores or WIFI?? How does one even start to transition into this way of living when we’ve been spoiled by simple conveniences for so long?…
Let’s face it… I love our modern conveniences. I love Netflix and Thrift Store Shopping and DIY House Projects I find on Pinterest… what I don’t love is working every day to survive.. Missing time with my kids because Im bound to a 9-5. Paying Bills to be broke then working to have more but never breaking the cycle.
