The Power to Create………….

July 25, 2025 susangtibLeave a comment

I have been working to grow my intuitive business for several years and have yet to fully put myself out there. I have other priorities at this time that limit my time commitment. I have also needed to grow as a person and to grow my skills. I have been taking classes and expanding & awakening my abilities. The one thing that I have done consistently in the interim, is visualize what I want for the collective world.

As you know, we are all made of energy physically and we also produce mental & emotional energy that helps shape our reality. The world mirrors our energy back to help us continue to grow to be who we want to be. To have the opportunities to experience what we want to experience. It also mirrors back where we are at the present time in our lives.

Fate is an interesting word as it not only reflects what we believe to be true, but it also reflects what others believe. We are caught up in trying to find our place in the collective reality, often times in realities we don’t agree with. Sometimes there are realities that leave us feeling like a victim. Hopeless, pessimistic and/or afraid to name a few. Those are the moments when I turn to either prayer or meditation. I focus on what shift I want to see in the world. While I can’t physically force change in everyone or everything, I can send energy out to penetrate the reality and contribute to change. When you come from your heart and send pure love, it butts up against the dark and creates energy of evolvement. It inspires a leader to start taking action. It creates opportunities for change. One prayer &/or one meditation at a time. There is nothing more pleasing to me, than to be praying/meditating on a certain issue and to witness it occurring in real life. One of those very issues I have been working on is for polarization in our society to find peaceful middle ground to create positive change. I saw an interview this morning of a powerful Liberal public figure agreeing to be interviewed by a powerful Republican public figure. It took the Liberal several years to accept this invitation for the interview. But at the end of the day, she realized that although they may not agree on everything, there are core issues they do agree on & by discussing them it makes it possible to create change together to improve America.. This is true, no matter where you live. I believe my years of putting this energy forth played a part in creating this event. As Margaret Mead said: “Never underestimate the ability of a small group of dedicated people to change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has”

So next time you feel afraid, alone, defeated, etc. Remember that change begins with every thought and feeling your put forth to the world. Energy affects everyone. What you pay forward to the world will find it’s way to a person who wants what you want & can empower them to put forth the same supportive, positive energy the way they are capable of doing. Plant seeds in your garden called life. Change starts with belief. No matter how powerless you feel, you can start the momentum in your direction by believing in something you dream of. Lastly, remember that truth always wins when it comes from your heart! More people want good than evil in their lives. Choose love over hate!

Let’s draw a card and ask “what does everyone need to know to overcome a feeling of helplessness or anger?” The card I drew is from Collette Baron-Reid’s deck “Wisdom of the Oracle” and the card is “Co-Create!” I really should video myself drawing these cards some time so you can see how the right cards always presents itself, I don’t pick and choose what card I present!

The essential meaning of this card is: creativity, art, inspiration, fruition & manifestation. The message from the guide book says: You may not consider yourself a creative person, but in the fact you are creating your reality every moment of every day via your thoughts, feelings beliefs, intentions, and actions. (What did I say above?!) Yet you must consider that you do so in your partnership with Spirit, Consciousness, God or whatever name you call your Higher Power. You are a spark of this Intelligence that works through you, nudging you with inspired thought and intuitive guidance. You are a paintbrush that co-creates a beautiful, unique expression of your own individuality blended with the universal Spirit. The guidebook goes on, but I think you get the message!

So remember, you are never a hopeless victim in any situation. No matter how long this can take to produce change, it will swing things in the right direction and prevent doom. Believe! Express! & Know that Spirit/God is waiting to hear what you want to create and will send you more warriors to support your cause. Be open to see when they arrive & expand your empowerment!

Peace & Love, Susan

New Moon in Aquarius….

February 8, 2024 susangtibLeave a comment

February 9th is the New Moon in Aquarius happening at 2:58pm Pacific. This new moon is about going within to recognize the intrinsic inner-self and how it influences who we are, how we treat ourselves and let our self-perception mold our life. This New Moon is about setting intentions of what you hope to change to create your desired future. In order to do that, you need to give yourself grace and let go of all the self-criticism, self-sabatogue. In other words, let go of comparing yourself to what you aren’t and beating yourself up because of it. Putting expectations on yourself of where you think you should be and therefore blocking yourself from getting there. Take note of how far you have come and where it is you want to go.

Aquarius is about freedom, innovation, intuition, community, eccentricity & thinking out of the box. Leslie Tagorda say’s: “Aquarius is the water bearer pouring knowledge and wisdom for the people. It is about change and right now, the change feels beneficial.” Aquarius always wants your end result to include serving your community. Your friends, your organizations, your collective, a.k.a. your Truth Tribe. But it has to start with your healing in order to come forth in an authentic way before you can soulfully collaborate with others to give your gifts to the world. Being okay with your individuality that make you your unique self and let go of the self-repression of never fitting in, therefore you can’t succeed. Your unique, individual self is the gift you have to offer the world which benefits the collective, in you being you.

In setting your intentions, ask to clear the barriers that block your unique self from coming forth. Understand that the New Moon has the energy of unexpected change to influence the conscious and unconscious self. Your self-awareness, ego, emotions and deep inner guidance and thoughts. It is a good time to ask to be shown your path to accepting your authenticity and to find comfort in your differences as well as the differences in others. To identify your desires moving into the future supporting the awareness of freedom and courage to be you. In a video I listened to, Colette Baron Reid quoted Carl Jung in saying, “whatever does not come up willingly from the unconsciousness will seemingly come to us as fate.” She, herself states “ whatever it is you are working through is going to show up in your life.” And as I have said many times, your world is a mirror of your inner-self. Your actions are a result of what you believe and coach yourself to do. If you are unable to unleash your authentic self into the world, you remain a ball in a pinball machine bouncing off life and so does your community. We must own our beliefs and actions in order to heal. And to forgive ourselves as we open our eyes to seeing who we really are. Aquarius loves to teach us to open our eyes and see the truth.

On February 18, just before the Full Moon, Chiron is conjunct with the North Node which empowers healing of what stands in the way of our desired future and being our authentic selves. So setting intentions in alignment with that now will prepare you for that release and a smoother transition in healing.

Let’s draw a card and ask “How can I embrace my differences & the differences of others to transform into my best, authentic, true-self to serve my community? I drew a card from “The Wisdom of the Oracle” deck by Collette Baron-Reid. The card is: “Go the Distance” in protection. The guide book give us a message relaying about feeling as if you have been wondering in the desert for ages and nothing is changing. This conjures up images of lack & discomfort, but it emphasizes there is more to it than that. It illustrates how the extreme temperatures conjures up resilience, toughness in creatures living in the desert and how they go deep into the sand to find water to survive. The book says this is a time to develop survival skills and resilience. It is a time to rest, slow down and listen to the call of your inner guidance, the call of your soul for it will never lead you astray. But you must slow down, get quiet to hear and let go of what is not important and distracting you.

Peace and Love, Susan

So great to be back. My life is slowing down a bit and I have the energy to be creative again. Thanks to Collette Baron-Reid, Astrologers Leslie Tagorda and Dr. Michael Lennox for the New Moon inspirations for this blog piece. And thanks to my spiritual guides and inner wisdom as you always come through for me.

Co-Creating A Better World….

December 9, 2023December 10, 2023 susangtibLeave a comment

Each night before I go to bed I consistently do a few things. I catch up on news, personal emails and before I turn in, I draw an Oracle Card and ask what it is I need to know, I then pray/meditate, visualize and talk to Spirit. I am not sure that catching up on news before bed is the best thing, with the disturbing things going on in the world that often provoke fear and worry, but it is often my only time of the day to get it done. That is why I draw an Oracle card, to find resolve and peace before I go to sleep. I end by meditating and talk to spirit/pray for resolve.

Last night, after a day of learning some big wrongs in the world, I drew a card from the “Wisdom of the Oracle” deck by Collette Baron-Reid, “Co-Create” in protection (upside down). This card reminded me and talked about finding yourself in a slump to create, because you are trying to do it by yourself. The book states “Inspiration means the drawing in of Divine guidance. You must tap into Spirit, not simply yourself. Ask Spirit for inspiration. Two minds are greater than one, so co-create with your Divine partner. Reclaim your partnership with spirit. Inspiration will flow through you as soon as you get out of your own way.”

The card reminded me of the power of talking to spirit/prayer and meditation to counter my feelings from my day. I had listened to a seminar earlier in the day from Astrologer Deborah Silverman. One thing that caught my attention was hearing her talk about how being on earth is not normal for our souls. We are spirit first, living in a human body. We sometimes forget in all our humanness, we entered this body as a spirit, but as we developed our physical skills to survive on earth, we have forgotten who we really are. She emphasized the importance of connecting with spirit, our higher selves each day to inspire our daily living in the direction we want life to go. It is as important as eating & drinking water to survive. But most of us have forgotten we are spirit first which inspires and helps mold our lives. Although our existence is verified by our physical reality, I personally rely on my instincts to help motivate my actions and decision making. I see it as a cycle that feeds our existence, good and bad. I helps us to continue to explore, question and learn through experiences. Deborah Silverman was saying how important Prayer, connecting to spirit and mediating should be a part of our daily routine. I considered it a major component of existence. When we die, we shed this body and our spirit continues. While we are on this earth, it is easy to get distracted and grow away from the power spirit offers us in our daily lives. It feels to me like, some people are moving further and further away from their spiritual self and it seems to reflect in the world as chaos, imbalances, harmfulness and unhappiness. What I have learned over the past several year is, we can fall asleep, or we can wake up to our greatest strengths, ourselves, our spiritual selves!

Lastly, as I am provoked by some of the horrifying things going on in the world, I learn through alternative news sources. I am often times left feeling powerless and like a victim. But the truth is, I have a lot of powerful tools for change and that is through positive affirmations, visualization and rallying my spiritual partners and angels to come help. Some people may say, turn it over to God, having faith & using my spiritual tools are what that means to me. If only for a few minutes each day, you will be rewarded and inspired to do it more. This morning I did my usual daily visualization of a big red heart watching over the Earth. It pours white light over the earth nourishing all things in truth, balance, love and justice. I see white light beings locking hands surrounding the Earth. They join together as beacons, generating truth, balance, love and justice. I send extra white light to the evil people and activities in the world and ask for healing and positive change. I dream about what all these things I desire will look like. I ask the angels and spirits to convene on specific issues in the world to help heal and create what is best for humankind to each issue by adding truth, balance, love and justice. That is my spirit becoming active in my life.

If we can all remember that the power is within us for change and to turn our fear, victim, anger, frustration, etc. into what we would like instead though daily pray, conversation with spirit and meditation it can make a big difference. Part of our daily existence relies on us to take the time each day to send empowerment into the world through energy. I believe, how you think and feel empowers the energy of our world and formulates our reality each day. How have you spent the last 24 hrs mentally and emotionally? What have you ruminated about and what did you solve by doing so? Please take the time each day to pray/meditate, visualize, dream and talk to spirit. The angels and spirits are there and ready to assist you to co-create a better future. Send the energy we need to counter the victim, fear, anger, destruction and control at work in this world right now. Spend more time solving instead of cowering! Remember, our world is a reflection of ourselves and the only way to change it is to change the energy you put forth in the world. There is a reason one house will still be standing amongst the destruction of a housing development after a tornado! I have a friend who for years, prays daily and believes strongly in the power of God/Creator in her life. She is presently living at the bottom of a housing development where the land is shifting and moving all around her house. Her next door neighbors are not able to open/close doors, the ground is buckling in several places in the development, even at my friends house. But, every day she prays her house will be safe and they are unharmed. So far they have seen no destruction to their house, although the land behind, around and right up to the edge of the house in one spot is changing and a few houses in her development have been red tagged. Take your power and use it wisely my friends!

Peace and Love, Susan

My Happy Place

October 21, 2023 susangtibLeave a comment

I am most happy when I am in a neutral place both mentally and emotionally. Where I can just go through my day to see things as they are without any further thought or emotion. Not accepting or judging, just seeing it as it is. It gives me objectivity to accept people where they are in their process in life and allows me to acknowledge what I need to pray &/or meditate for to empower healing and balance for myself and others. I believe this state helps people to accept themselves and release what may be triggering them more efficiently. I strive to listen to venting, but not empower the imbalanced perspectives that may be included. We all need to vent to process. It is how the vent ends that indicates if it served it’s purpose or not. I try to hear myself when I vent and recognize my part in the incident and acknowledge how I can change that moving forward. Take responsibility where responsibility lies without blame. Not build more anger or dislike to the situation. Again, as I have said many times, how we feel inside ourselves is what the world mirrors back to us. If we buy into our victim in situations without responsibility on some level, we continue down the victim path in life. To see and acknowledge from a neutral place is like the silent observer without attachment. When we can remove ourselves from our own situation mentally and emotionally, we often open our vision to see things more clearly. After processing we realize sometimes how we triggered a situation without intention. It is a wonderful place to be, free of triggers and negativity. And hopefully bringing balance to others.

I hear a lot people say (I have before as well), “the 2 things I don’t talk about is politics and religion. Those conversations don’t belong here or on social media.” Oddly enough, in my observation, those are usually the most easily triggered conversations when they do happen. Is it because we don’t talk about it and when we do, we are so deep into our own beliefs we can’t accept an opposing opinion? The first round of discussion can easily be the most emotionally triggered. Afterward we all feel differently, anger or judgement at the person we had the discussion with, maybe guilt for being mean/rude/controlling or angry at ourselves. How we see the aftermath is critical in many ways. I try to continue to find empathy for the person I just had this experience with and ask that I may be given the opportunity to reproach it from a more balanced, curious, open minded space. The goal should be to hear what each person believes, not to try to change them. There is nothing more motivating than to hear new information and to explore it whether it be right or wrong to your own beliefs. But to discard and discredit it automatically doesn’t allow for truth to evolve. You may be right and the other person may be opened to hear something they have been misled on or vise versa. There is always a meeting in the middle place that I feel is important to produce change and evolvement. And for each of us to realize just how much judgement we do have on those that believe differently than us. In having a discussion, it can open us to see how we make opposing opinions wrong rather than praying that truth prevail. And usually we receive new truths and so do they. But most importantly, we realize that we all are in a different place in life, vibrating at a different frequency. Mixing and matching those vibrations with the hope of truth can make this world a better place.

Try a day of neutrality, neither agreeing or disagreeing, just hearing. And then at the end of the day, pray for truth, healing and balance. See what happens as a result of it. Make note of your internal reactions when being neutral. And be sure to journal so you can be reminded of the place you started and evolve toward.

Let’s draw a card and ask: What do I need to know to heal my differences in conversations? I drew a card from “Wisdom of the Oracle” by Collette Baron-Reid. The card is: “Between Worlds” – the essential meaning is: Transitions, not being quite out of the one situation and fully engaged in another, temporary blindness, no man’s-land. The book goes on to say: Between the worlds is where you must let go of the tendency to make assumptions. This is the time when you are unable to see what is ahead. Cultivate curiosity and trust the process of change and growth. In this place you are done learning the lessons of the experience that have just passed. In this place, between what was and what will be is a state of making and unmaking and making again. You are encouraged to see the curious eye of a child seeing a rainbow for the 1st time.

This information brings to my mind when we talk to people we strongly disagree with on something we have just been through and learned our own solution and so have they. When we both came out with differing strategies which oppose one another on some level. We want to illustrate why our strategy is the correct one in our debate and why their strategy is wrong or point out it’s faults. Rather than ask questions, be curious where they got their information and explore the pros and cons of our outcomes together. We may still disagree, but we will have learned more about where the person is coming from. The outcomes of our decisions usually illustrate a bigger picture with history. To share our experiences most often teaches us something moving forward. To do it without triggering a disagreement & sarcasm is something to strive toward. And better than empowering dissent and wedging distance. In the end, we all can pray that we all find our truth, healing and balance. It can help to open ourselves and others to see what we are blind to. And hopefully empower us for round two, each round more productive while maintaining and building friendship.

Peace & Love, Susan

Full Moon in Pisces

August 29, 2023August 29, 2023 susangtibLeave a comment

On August 30 at 6:36pm Pacific time is the Full Moon/Blue Moon in the Northern Hemisphere. The analytical, detailed, organized, servant and embodiment of the productive Virgo Sun is shining light on the dreamy, insightful, compassionate, devoted, emotional, expansive Pisces Moon. Earth element Virgo is good with structure, schedules, organizing while Water sign Pisces is not as they are flowing, optimistic & hard to get a fixed handle on and feel very deeply. Full Moons are about letting go of the unconscious, our aspects in motion needing improvement. Look how perfectionism, judgement can challenge the confusion, lack of commitment or isolation. See your challenges as gifts rather than mistakes. As without them, you wouldn’t have opportunities to grow or create change.

The influences this month involve not only the Sun and the Moon, but retrogrades and planets that rule the mind, discipline, emotions, unconscious, conscious, giving and receiving of love. It is time of potential great healing. Dr. Michael Lennox suggests you offer the following prayer: “I am ready to release anything known and unknown, conscious and unconscious, that inhibits my ability to fully express the life I am creating for myself.” He also states “Your conscious mind does not need to have clarity when working with the unconscious so directly.” I walk away with trust that healing will happen.

There is potential in this Full Moon to manifest if we are practical and honest with what does or doesn’t work or needs reviewed to correct course. Rather than go inward when confused to ignite a false story, go outward to discuss to get clarification and avoid misperceptions or false narratives. Life is always about adjusting as you gain wisdom when in the unknown, as you grow and learn. It takes both practicality and insight to stick to the course of our dreams. Focus on the areas that aren’t easy for you and ask spirit to partner with you in finding your path forward. Then get quiet and listen to learn.

Let’s see what the cards say about identifying and releasing what blocks our path to our dreams. I drew a card from the “Oracle of the 7 Energies” by Collette Baron-Reid. The card I drew is: “Let It Go!” The essential meaning of this card is forgiveness, healing resentments, shedding the role of the eternal martyr, letting go of victimhood, cutting the ties that bind you to a destructive story, releasing pain so you can move into the lesson it offers, relinquishing the need to be right. Some of the highlighted points the book makes that I want to share are: Forgiveness is simply a commitment to stop telling an old story so you don’t carry it’s burden anymore. If you don’t forgive, old hurts fester and become distorted, causing you pain over and over again. Say no to drama in all forms, and forgive yourself and others for engaging in it. If something is awry–whether it’s your perception, your emotional reactions, your judgment, and so forth–it’s up to you to clean it up. Forgiveness is the key to a liberated and meaningful life. No matter what method you choose, just do it!

I will add that recently I have these incidents of the past that have come forward in my memory that make me feel bad or wrong because of how I handled them in the process of learning. In the past, I used to delve into the negative emotion of my mistakes and make myself feel bad for how I handled it. Now I recognize the memory, forgive myself and say that was a long time ago. I did the best I could at the time. I have learned from this incident and I am better because of it. That incident happened to teach me to correct my course and become a better me. Thank you Creator for the life lesson, I am grateful!

Peace & Love, Susan

Full Moon in Capricorn

July 2, 2023July 2, 2023 susangtibLeave a comment

Monday, July 3 at 4:39am Pacific is the Full Moon in Capricorn in the northern hemisphere. It is the time when the Sun in Cancer shines its light on Capricorn to say, find balance in your relationships, expression of discipline and goal seeking. Cancer is about rest, self-care, emotions, nurturing, the mother of all and intuition. Capricorn is goal focused and determined to climb the ladder to success, consistent, authoritative, structured & knows how to get stuff done!

Given the influences this Full Moon, it will encourage us to be productive, get things done and show compassion for self & others. The polarity, tug-a-war can be in finding balance between the use of your intuition vs. intellect, emotions vs mind, self-care vs. self-neglect, rest vs. exertion, observing vs engaging, rules vs. creative flow, freedom vs structures. It is a time to observe yourself and others to find that balance. Collette Baron-Reid says to watch for sparks, fireworks or friction. Given the influences pay attention in areas of your relationships with yourself, work, home, rules, authority and with others. There is a urge to heal and resolve wounds in all these ways. Emotions and wounds from the past may surprise you when triggered this full moon. So allow yourself to feel them and decide what no longer belongs and adjust to a new way. Heal or release what you can and surrender in prayer or meditation with hope for answers for what can’t be reconciled at this time. With the Venus retrograde coming, there will the following months to continue to heal.

Let’s draw a card and ask: How can I find balance in my emotional and mental worlds when taking action? I drew a card from the “Enchanted Map” deck by Collette Baron Reid. The card is: “Sacred Pool” reversed. The book for this card starts by saying, “It can be difficult to overcome denial when there is reward for staying where you are.” It goes on to emphasize how you can stay safe and trapped in victimhood by living in denial. You never have to take a risk. You are dimming your light in the world, doing the same things over and over again. It encourages you to take a look in the mirror and see the truth of what you really want in life. Surrender to the need to self-sabotage. Once you overcome the need to deny and be comfortable in a boring life, you can seek adventure, create magic, see with clear eyes. Live a more empowered life. It always comes down to being honest with the truth that lives in your heart and having the courage to live it. Trust your innate wisdom, take action on it, flow through how the world responds and don’t let it stop you. Let go of what doesn’t align with your truth and heart.

Peace & Love, Susan

Victim No More….

May 28, 2023June 7, 2023 susangtibLeave a comment

When we come into this life, we live through a culmination of experiences that affect our psyche both good and bad. Spiritual teachers will tell you that it is our souls contract when we enter into life to have these experiences for our souls healing. Today I want to write about how I see the process of the victim through my own self-guided healing.

When I think back on the experiences that I’ve had up to this point in life, I can identify the ones that changed the course of my life. Some good, some bad, some outstanding and some horrific. The culmination of those experiences formed a persona within myself of how I have responded to life moving forward. I have seen in myself and others how the negative brings out our need to protect ourself, creates misperception or avoidance tactics to summarize a few. They also at times can send us on a journey of false truths about our reality, seeking comfort in self-harming realities. Send us into a delusional state of reality and cause us to misperceive true intentions. It also allows the mirroring experiences to be played out over and over again by the same type of predators and to keep re-living tragedy. In my mind, it comes down to what we believe and feel is true. Hurtful and tragic situations can be very difficult to dig ourselves out of if we believe what the incident has taught us to be true and we keep re-living this reality by our choices and actions. Only to create a vicious cycle of victim, in my opinion.

The good experiences in my life have given me confidence and helped me to identify my true potential. They guided me to set standards that created joyful, successful and fun loving experiences and brought like-minded people into my life, my Truth Tribe. These experiences & resources are what empower me to create new experiences in my path forward to grow, succeed & be joyful in life. They can be part of the support system to bring us out of our gloom and self-destruction. Positivity brings the people into our life that we later reach out to when we need solid advise and support. The people in our lives that mirror our good experiences are our resources to reconnect and live those positive experiences with. They are the illustration we are on the right path. I like to think of this side of ourself as the healer within each of us. But I also believe, it is a healthy balanced state that must be maintained in our successes that lead to more successes. The ego loves to step in and throw me off balance at any time in my successful state. That again is when you need your truth tribe’s support of honesty and compassion, be aware of your motivation & to be in touch with the truth in your heart.

I have suffered from horrible anxiety for many years. I reached the point a couple of times, where it actually seemed better to me to be dead than alive. A shocking truth, uncomfortable to admit. Thankfully I always turned it around at that stage – it was my rock bottom with the anxiety. But the anxiety made me feel powerless & I’d live in it. I would have this feeling like something was horribly wrong, very bad news was coming. I had done something horribly wrong, I was a bad person. It was my Victim Soup I had validated in my psyche up to this point from my victim experiences. Then something would materialize that validated it and I would wonder, was I perceiving when I was anxious or was I contributing to it’s formation. I have concluded they were a combination of both. One feeding the other in a destructive cycle empowering a reality of mirroring my victim back to me. A vicious cycle within myself of helplessness and validation. I couldn’t understand how to stop it because I didn’t understand how I started the cycle. I turned to herbal and homeopathic remedies that would help relieve the anxiety and bring me back to a state of empowerment to manipulate my victim state for survival. One day I realized the anxiety always went away when I would decide to choose to change my mind and feelings toward what I wanted to think and feel and the uncontrollable anxiety would go away. Now when I start to feel the emotions of anxiety or the anxious thoughts enter my mind, I know it is a choice I have to make. To believe in it and let it consume me, or to do something to change it. Often times when in a crippled state, I crawl away from it by chanting within myself positive thoughts and creating positive feelings within myself of what I want to believe to transition it. Or daydreaming of better things or reaching out to a trusted resource (people, books, entertainment). I have to take the time at my weakest moments to push myself into positivity and empowerment to fight back against these demons. Realize I can empower positivity to defeat my victim. Feed the evil or feed the good. Transition my mirrored experiences to what I want life to reflect back to me.

Last night I went to a party and I met this lady Alice, who was struggling with her upbringing. Her mother abused her emotionally her entire life and convinced everyone she was just being dramatic when she tried to tell people what her mother was doing to her. Nobody ever believed Alice and she suffered alone. Presently in her life, her mother has dementia and refuses to admit it, is still living on her own but requires the assistance of Alice and her brother to survive. The mother has shown her true colors and is now treating the brother the same way Alice has been treated her entire life. Alice has finally been vindicated. But what stunned me in our conversation was, Alice believes she is still powerless and can not change her damanged self until her mother is deceased. This is what she chooses to believe. I see her present circumstances as a mirroring victim experience repeating itself over and over until Alice says no more. It made me sad to think that she is living her entire life a victim of her mother. Precious joyful life experiences are being wasted. In talking further with Alice, I see that she is being forced by safety issues to take an empowered position in dealing with her mother’s dementia. But she admits to poor self-esteem that affects other parts of her life she is struggling with because of the wounds she carries & believes until her mother is gone she can’t heal. After hearing her repeated powerlessness stories, I pointed out to her that “she is who she believed she is.” This later triggered inside of me in hind sight, a feeling that I was not compassionate to her and that I was a bad person. But I went back to the time I said that to her and saw that I did speak it with compassion and though she didn’t fully understand what I was saying, it affected her in a positive way. I planted a positive seed in her psyche. Thankfully I realized my trigger before I spiraled.

What a life cycle, right? All of us bouncing off each other in our daily lives. Whether good or bad. The high, highs and the low, lows. Our wounds continuing to be mirrored to us until we take control and say no more. Until we are able to trust the truth in our hearts to guide us through life. To recognize our resources to fight the demons. Reaching out to trustworthy people, our Truth Tribe for advice. Using meditation, prayer, calling on our angels to help guide us to a better way, to keep us safe & help us to see the truth in our weakest moments. Recognizing your inner wisdom, hearing & acting on it. And then much to our delight, we have an experience of enlightenment, empowerment, serendipity, a healing moment! I like to think of them as “Gifted Truths, Inspired Blossoms!” Healings and empowerment, changing the balance of our psyche to teeter on the positive side of life. Handling the next mirrored victim scenario empowered and waving it goodbye. Creating a newly healed mirrored story in our lives and choosing that path forward.

I want to close with drawing a card without any further comment from me. Just the card definition and essential meaning for you to ponder on. My question: “What is it everyone needs to hear about their victim?” I drew a card from the online deck, “The Wisdom of the Oracle” from Collette-Baron Reid.com. The card is: “The Observer.” The essential meaning is: Perspective, objectivity, neutral observation from a distance. The card goes on to say: Ever think sometimes your life is suction cupped to your face and you can’t see beyond yourself? There’s a big world out there, a multitude of potential realities that you’re unable to see at present. So you’re a little stuck? It’s time to get advice from someone you trust, someone who has a better perspective on your circumstances. Other points of view are needed now before you move forward. Take heart! A beautiful vista is waiting for you to drink it in.

Peace and Love, Susan

New Moon in Taurus

May 19, 2023 susangtibLeave a comment

The New Moon in Taurus is on May 19, 2023 at 8:53am Pacific. Taurus wants us to embody who we are and honor ourselves for all we are capable of. It is imperative we take care of ourselves before we attempt to help others. And this New Moon will push you to put your foot down and say, “I deserve this!”

Taurus is about the physical world of form and the pleasure we get from life on earth. Because it is ruled by Venus, Taurus recognizes it’s hearts desires and sets out to manifest those desires into real life experiences. The strengths of Taurus include reliability, patience, devotion, responsibility and a sense of stability. The weaker moments of Taurus can bring about stubbornness, possessiveness & inflexibility. Sudden changes often upset Taurus as well as complications & insecurity.

The past few weeks my spiritual practice has led me to know that I need to focus on what I want moving forward. To stay away from the darkness of today’s reality and put forth energy toward creation of a world that allows us each to be authentic and live out our hearts desires. Taurus supports us receiving what we want in life. The fear producing possibilities that linger and surround us can only be empowered if we spend our time and energy believing in them. We need to avoid putting energy into what we don’t want. It is within our power to create a future aligned with our hearts desires, authenticity and pleasures. Dream, act and create!

While the present planetary influences can heighten our fears, they can also be supportive to keep us out of the fear. It is up to us to decide what our experience will be. Ignore the fear mongering, chaos and divide and focus on love, sharing and creating a more balanced reality. Taurus is known to slow the process of manifestation so you can prove your worth, change what you are meant to heal, recognize what holds you back or misguides you. In setting your intentions, believe you can have the goodness in life, take action toward it and then pass on your empowerment to others. There is enough fulfillment possible for everyone on this planet.

Lets ask the cards what it is we need to know to stay focused on a deserving empowerment for an abundant and freedom loving future. I drew a card from the Oracle of the 7 Energies by Collette Baron-Reid: “A Tall Tale.” This cards key concepts are: denial, concealing the truth so you can manipulate and control a situation, fear-based communication, creating a narrative to hide behind, not allowing the fear of what others will think to influence your words, learning to communicate from a place of authenticity.

Now is the time to be brutally honest with ourselves. Recognize our short comings and gain strength to be a better person. Take responsibility for our actions and admit when we are wrong in order to change our path. Instead of tearing others down to be right or gather sympathy, show compassion and support when needed. Let go of trying to control others or their actions to manipulate an outcome. Let go of the need to hide the truth within your heart. When you trust the truth that lies in front of you, the path to your desires will open up. Until a person can be honest and take responsiblity for their weaknesses, life will continue to throw curve balls to get you to realize what you need to change to have what you desire. Dreams are fulfilled when you are in alignment with seeing what you need to change about yourself to get what you truly want. Don’t let fear, denial & lies suck your power of manifestation. Flip the coin, choose truth, trust in spirit to guide you and the confidence and prize will arrive!

I will close with my latest mantra when I want to redirect my negativity. “I am happy, healthy, wealthy, free and live in a world with justice!”

Love and Peace, Susan

Full Moon in Scorpio

May 5, 2023May 5, 2023 susangtibLeave a comment

Today is the Full Moon in Scorpio along with an eclipse involving the South Node (our past.) With the Sun (our conscious self) in Taurus & the Moon in Scorpio, it is about letting go of the things that hold you back or make you want to overcompensate or grip harder to stay safe & comfortable. Your issues surrounding success & abundance. A really big energy time to finally drop those limiting self-beliefs! Take the broken record off the turn table and listen to a new song!

This Full Moon can ignite fear. But remember, the fear is usually preventing your greatest self from living life and expressing itself. If you step through the fear, often your biggest rewards, your greatest talents in life are on the other side. Taurus in it’s dark side would prefer you stay stuck in the beliefs you don’t belong in that arena. You are not worthy, you believe in scarcity & guilt more than trusting & believing what is meant to be. On a positive, Taurus is about abundance, moving slow & steady, thriving comfortably. With Scorpio pushing growth, death & rebirth, it is a great time for shedding self-paralysis of past conditioning & wounds. Don’t let anyone convince you of anything less than your hearts desire & natural talents. That would be your projected low self-esteem being reflected back to you. Now is the time to project self-belief.

Let’s see what the cards say. What do we need to know to shed our imprisoned beliefs to thrive and grow successfully? I drew a card from the “Wisdom of the Oracle” deck by Collette Baron- Reid. The card is: “Never Ending Story” in protection mode (reversed.) The essential meaning of this card is: Self-criticism; the wounded ego; unnecessary dramas. You can’t make this up – what an appropriate card! The online description says: “Time to avoid drama at all costs, especially when it comes to other people’s “stuff.” Your sensitivity is on overload these days, and you’re best served by keeping your distance. Your mantra today is “Not my circus, not my monkeys.” All this drama will pass, and you will carry on unscathed and blameless.” I think the guide for this card says it all. Stop believing in the self-destructive, fearful beliefs of the past conditioning that do not honor your greatness. Unlock the chains and step out to show your authentic self. The scariest things in life, are most often, the most profound truths you have to offer the world. Be you!

Peace & Love, Susan

Creating the Storm…..Or Would you Prefer Sunshine?

April 29, 2023April 29, 2023 susangtibLeave a comment

Suddenly you find out a big storm is coming and you have no choice but to hunker down and weather it? You are in a rush to find shelter and you can see these monster black clouds moving in that look like nothing you have seen before. Your mind starts to race and your fear heightens of all the disastrous possibilities. You become aware of a miraculous solution and ill prepared you go along because there is a possibility of a big positive outcome. The entire time you feel unorganized, like you are somewhere you don’t rightly belong, but you are there hoping that what is promised is delivered. Because it will save you.

As you move toward your solution of being saved, you hear that some people decide to stay where they are because they don’t trust traveling during such a storm and feel safer where they are. You drive in a rush to another city where the miracle exists. When you arrive there is a person who catches you off-guard & asks if you have done what is required to participate in the miracle outcome, but you have just arrived and have not had a chance to begin to understand the process. You are desperate, you fear this is your only chance, you lie and say yes. They give you a badge required to be entered to win. You now realize you are in a casino in Las Vegas. Next you walk into a random hotel room without checking-in to change into warmer clothes to prepare for the storm. You feel pressured to change your clothes quickly and get out. You can’t get your suitcase open and you fumble around to find what you need. The cleaning lady is just one room away and the pressure is building to change and get out. Finally you find these jeans that don’t fit, get your clothes changed and as you walk out of the room & down the hallway, you realize you forgot your purse, so you turn around to return to the room. You rush back and discover you have 2 purses, one on your shoulder and the one laying in the hallway by the room. You are confused. You grab the purse laying on the floor and rush to the car where your family is frustrated with you and waiting. You wonder if you left anything else in the room you may really need, it is worrisome and stressful. By the time you get back to the car the black clouds are becoming visible. The storm is here.

Suddenly you realize you have seen these monster clouds before. While they are the darkest black and appear as scarey, life-changing black fog rolling toward you, inside yourself you know they are not as bad as they look. What have you committed to thus far and how do you move forward? You realize you have just become part of a system that you know nothing about and there is a chance you won’t get your miracle, because it is a lottery. The likelihood is small to none it will have a positive outcome. If you had only understood before you took the badge & not acted on the motivation of panic and fear.

You suddenly regroup and take a moment to visualize a big heart over the earth, pouring white light over it and all the people, including yourself. The world glows with love and truth and you believe in justice for everyone. You hold that thought/vision and know positive change is ahead. You realize this is your right action toward a miracle in the midst of disaster. Truthful opportunities and solutions will come. You change the course of your outcome and feel relieved in the repair. You suddenly wake up and realize it was all a dream.

When new and unknown scary things happen, it can be natural to destruct before you construct. I read in “A Return to Love” by Marianne Williamson – “the body is a canvas of the mind.” We are all a canvas of our mind, emotions and actions. The outcome is determined by the motivation behind your actions. Would you encourage someone to act in panic & fear when giving advice? Or would you advise them to wait, look for solutions before deciding? Offer them comfort and support in the mean time as they sort through the disaster. Encourage them to decide what is in their heart, what they feel is true and the best course moving forward. To understand there is time to decide and act once more is known and the circumstances become clearer.

What if you knew in any disaster you had the ability to save yourself and others by simply meditating, praying or visualizing and positive, heart based/truthful outcomes would materialize to act on as a result, would you do it? Some people wait until a problem is so big, it threatens their survival, they become panicked and take action blindly. In these times a lot of people turn to God, or whomever they worship. It is often only when we are brought to our knees by a disaster we turn to the creator for help. I believe this same skill set of meditation, prayer and visualization work in our every day life to guide us away from anticipated disasters & guide us toward a better life. Even if it is just 5 minutes each morning before getting out of bed. We can guide our future if we simply work these skills every day. It empowers us against the big monster if we have faith and take the time to formulate what we want in our lives daily. It is the difference between building that disaster food storage in advance to prepare for an emergency, as opposed to scrambling after a disaster to find what you can in the midst of chaos.

Our lives these days are filled with a lot of chaos. How are you painting your canvas? Are your thoughts, emotions and actions driving the dream or are you squandering in all the disastrous possible outcomes & waiting for life to happen to you before looking to see what is available? When you let others formulate your reality, you are subject to what solution others provide for you. Although you are an individual entity in this world, remember you are also part of a whole. If the majority let someone else decide their outcome, it creates an imbalance of opportunities. More people live life outside their truth and fewer people use their power to create their truth. The collective create a reality for everyone as we are all connected on this physical and spiritual plane. Is that the truth that is in your heart for this lifetime? Doing what others create and fulfilling their dreams instead of your own? Isn’t that what they call an unfulfilled life? I think it takes many ideas to create a solution. Many dreams to bring happiness for all. To me, that is a life worth living, one of truth.

It is never too late to start driving your own future. Trust, have faith, begin small and see what happens. Bring love to the forefront of your thoughts, emotions and motivated actions every day. Remember that you are part of a collective whole. And what you contribute affects the reality of all which in turn reflects back to you. Look at your canvas, what do you see? What do you want instead, that brings love and goodness to the world? It is your canvas, our canvas, paint it and see what happens.

Peace and Love, Susan
