Mermaid soul finding magic in everyday life

Paola - Moon Siren
Phew! This month is looking like we will all have Phew! This month is looking like we will all have a lot of work to do both internal and external. 

With so many things happening; the beginning of eclipse season, Mercury already being in pre-shadow, Pluto in retrograde, our daily life challenges and some unforeseen curve balls we may get, it all sounds a bit intense, doesn’t it?

Well, I definitely sense the presence of Mercury Rx in the drawing for this month as you well know, communication can get a bit dodgy with this transit. It’s no wonder to me why the cards are reminding us to make sure to think things through and to not be so hasty in our actions or words. 

There’s new ideas and circumstances showing up during this month, but we may feel like they’re not evolving as fast as we’d like them to. 

Awareness will be most certainly necessary this month, to make sure you stay in touch with what’s real, try to be as objective as you can. There may be times when you can see things quite clearly and may have to speak up, call it out. Make sure you choose your words carefully and know if your opinion comes from discernment or impulse. Acting on impulse will bring consequences that you may have to face deal with later on.
It will be a time when you have to keep yourself in check too! To be aware of why you’re going after certain things and the intention behind it. Know that there are always obstacles to be faced and try to not get discouraged from the start with the first obstacle you face. You can still make progress!

Watch your words, I cannot express the importance of this enough, since a lot of misunderstandings when working with others, a lot of times, come from saying the wrong thing or saying it the wrong way. 

For your own sake, don’t try to control every little thing. There’s going to be a lot out of your control and you can use this time to practice trust and surrender to the unknown while doing your best within what you can actually control.

To read the full article, head to the blog! 💙 Have a very fulfilling month!

Eclipse season starts with a bang… Whenever ther Eclipse season starts with a bang…
Whenever there’s eclipse energy, things are bound to get interesting. This New Moon is not a stranger to that rule. 

The channeled message speaks to us about an entire process taking place during this time. From the moment you can sense a storm up until the sun comes out after it passes. 

As ominous as this sounds, it’s not too bad. A lot of tension and emotions have been accumulated and this may serve as a breaking point for release. usually, it’s the kind of energy we can expect during an eclipse; things that remain in the background unnoticed can come forth and have the spotlight focused on them. 

While going through turmoil or stormy weather can be daunting because when in the eye of the storm everything is confusing, you feel like you can’t trust what you see, there’s no clear direction or path to take and everything is volatile. However, even in that moment, we cannot forget that once the storm passes, the skies clear again. And so, if you’re going through something especially difficult during this period, trust that the sun will shine again. It will bring in new perspectives and paths that are meant for you.

It’s time to release pressure, anything that’s been building up inside that causes you to freeze or become paralyzed. It’s time to acknowledge what comes up for you during this time, face it and let go of what  holds you back. 

It’s time for you to take a chance on yourself and open yourself up to everything that can be. This is a transformational period which you aren’t forced to go through alone. Call in your support system if needed, collaborate with others to find deeper meaning to what you’re about. 

Even surrounded by darkness, don’t forget your own light, let it lead the way through the whirlwind. No matter how tough it gets, opportunity and chance are still present. There are choices to be made that can feel fated or destined. Don’t shy away from them. Live your life and do your best under the current circumstances, even when you can’t clearly see where it’s taking you to.

Today may have you being a busy bee! It’s a very Today may have you being a busy bee!
It’s a very high energy kind of day. Lots do to, people to talk to, places to be and tasks to be accomplished. 

There’s a vibrant energy throughout the day that can help you stay motivated and on track. 

Not only does this help with productivity but it’s the kind of energy that gets those creative juices and ideas flowing. It’s a perfect day to be assertive, go after what you want, take charge and not be afraid to let your personal power be shown.

You can take action with confidence and courage. Whatever you have planned for the day, go at it from a place of passion and conviction. The energy you put out today can be mirrored, you never know who you might cross paths with, that may be inspired by you or be an ally later on.

Now, a word of advice for this go-go-go energy: Don’t take on more than you can handle! If you feel like you can take over the world today, use the mindset to get things done but be realistic as to what you can do so you don’t stretch yourself too thin or fall short of high expectations. Be organized and practical, you don’t want to have too many balls up in the air.

Dive into that current and see where it takes you!

You can’t stop change. I know that sounds very You can’t stop change.

I know that sounds very unsettling to hear or read in certain moments of life. Even so, it doesn’t make it untrue. 

No matter how small or big a change is, we never remain the same for even a day. Change and transformation is a constant in life, human or otherwise. We’re a part of so many natural cycles, and when we open our eyes to welcome awareness, we can see those cycles unfold. 

This message is about surrendering to the unavoidable nature of transformation. I always find immense beauty in the fact that nothing is permanent. Yes, sometimes during hardship, we are quick to wish for the moment to be over and done with. Then, there are those beautiful moments that we wish we could put in a jar and keep them going forever. 
However, how would we be truly appreciative of the best moments of our lives if they lasted forever? How would we know any different? 

Living through an array of experiences is what gives us perspective. 

Perspective is a funny and subjective thing… when you take small pockets of time, your evolution is not so evident. It’s not until you lengthen that time span that you’re really able to see all sequences of events that led to significant changes. You may not feel like there’s any evolution from one week to the next, and you might even feel the same. Maybe you’d see the difference in a year or a decade. This doesn’t mean that shifts don’t happen in short amounts of time, it means they’re so subtle that you can’t really tell they’re being woven into the beautiful tapestry of life. 

Give yourself permission today to let yourself be transformed. Perhaps there’s a moment or a circumstance you’ll live through today that will have a greater impact down the line.

Nothing is permanent, make the best of it.

Self-doubt can be one of the most limiting behavio Self-doubt can be one of the most limiting behaviors you can imagine. You're always going to find at least one reason to not go through with something, but going through certain experiences that you're not familiar with is what keeps you evolving.

Trust your own judgment. Be confident in your strengths and make them work for you.
It’s a trap! We’re all familiar with the effe It’s a trap!

We’re all familiar with the effects of instant gratification and why it turns into a pattern in our lives. A lot of times we know what must be done includes a high amount of effort, patience and dedication, which is why, some of that time our of convenience or comfort, we choose to take the easy or immediate road. 

Today’s message asks you to stop and think; ask yourself if going down the easiest road will indeed take you to where you want to go or if it’s actually slowing you down. Temptation is always around us, whether it’s in the form of binging a show instead of working, going on defense instead of taking accountability, taking a nap instead of working out, etc. Whatever it is, there will always be an easy way to go about things that seems more attractive because it makes us feel good in the moment. 

While there’s nothing wrong with living in the present, we must not forget about our future goals. The steps we take in the present bring us closer or farther from them. 

Sometimes it takes a little extra courage and strength to push through and be ok with putting in that extra effort into something to see results. 
If you’re being too lenient and permissive with yourself today, this is a reminder to call BS on your own self and do what you need to do without excuses or justification. Instant gratification feels great, sure. 

However, it can really become a trap, a mindless circle that will go on endlessly until you break the pattern. That circle can keep you in places you don’t want to be. Break free from those restrictions you have put on yourself and move forward. 

Some of those restrictions can come from your shadow side too. Perhaps pessimism or feeling like you don’t have what it takes, you’re not strong or consistent enough, victimizing yourself. Those can be broken too! It’s a choice. Do I want to continue to get the same results or do I want an actual change? 

Don’t impulsively fall for temptation today, you’ve got this. You’re stronger than you think you are.

For the longest time, I never posted my face and h For the longest time, I never posted my face and hud my name. When I started this as a personal project, I shielded myself in anonymity because I was afraid. 

Afraid of people thinking I, or my articles or what I share, were ridiculous or judge me for not being "experienced enough" or be academically trained for what I was sharing. Even the aesthetic I chose shut the door on any personal photos I might want to share because it "didn't go" with what I thought it should look like.

Being anonymous gave me the opportunity to be completely myself and gauge reactions to my content. I was free but still restricted. 

For a long period of time, I even was shy about saying what I did for a living (other than photography) because of that same fear of judgement. 

The first time I ever showed my face in my content was in February of 2020, almost 4 years after I started with my own journey in my intentional spiritual search. I had had more than one short hiatus on the blog but was fully feeling the calling to keep going back to it. Then life took over and several profound life changes took place in my life and led me to the longest hiatus I took since I started the blog; over a year.

Coming back hasn't been easy, some of those old fears are still there but I realized I cannot hide forever. If my intention is to truly, unique and genuinely share my experience and voice with others, it has to be fully.

Even though I'm still insecure on how I'll look to others, what people may think, if the content even resonates or if anyone even cares... this is me. This is my calling and this is what sparks my soul on fire. Helping others in any way has always been so important to me. That's where I find my purpose.

So, if you take anything from this post is to do it. Feel the fear but do it f*cking anyway. Follow your heart and be smart about it. Gace your fears, sometimes you make it a bigger deal in your head.

This lovely photo was taken by the amazingly talented @ssserotonin back in Guatemala.

Thank you all for being here 🙏🏻 💙

Weekly readings and today's daily message are ready to provide some guidance. 

It'll be an interesting but exciting. Let's get ready for the last week of April!

I just posted a lovely DYI article on intention ca I just posted a lovely DYI article on intention candles on the blog! 

This is one of my all time favorites practices. I never knew it could be so soothing and fun. Not only do I get to recycle food/candle jars and save some money (because then I don't have to buy more candles) but I get to pick everything that goes in them.

FYI - the photo is just a reference of my earliest ones. I learned not to place herbs/flowers so close to the wick (can be fire hazard) and I found that using small tumbled crystals is better than crystal chips.

Anyway, hope you enjoy and don't forget to tag me if you try it out so I can see your creations.

You’ve been through so much in your life (or liv You’ve been through so much in your life (or lives!); tough times, losses, pain, sadness, people leaving, circumstances changing… and yet here you are. You remain. There is life within you. 

There is somewhere very deep inside of you that no one and nothing can touch. No matter how much comes at you in the world, that light doesn’t get extinguished by it all. It may dwindle at times, it may falter, but it doesn’t fail. You can always go inward and find this space within when you need it most. When things are scary or unsettling, that sacred space exists, where you can feel protected and safe. 

For some of you, this card will mean that some energy protection is needed; your body, your home, your work, etc. For spaces, you can rearrange things, move things around, purge or decorate to move any stagnant energy and then set an intention to protect that harmony and balance. You can use crystals, singing bowls, prayers, spells, or whatever ritual calls to you to do this. 

For your body, as well as for spaces, move! Get energy flowing through your body to activate it. You can also take a protection bath using rosemary and sea salt. Use visualization as you shower or wear certain crystals like tourmaline or amethyst to protect your own energy.

Lastly, this card lets all of us know that we’re not alone. We have beings that love and care for us, living or in other planes. We’re divinely protected and we always have spirits to support and guide us. If it all feels like to much, you can call on them and allow them to support and nurture your soul.

Disappointment usually comes after expecting other Disappointment usually comes after expecting others to be a certain way and them failing to meet those expectations. 

No one can read minds in such a way. If you want to be understood or heard properly, you have to be clear about it.

Our energy is one of the most valuable resources w Our energy is one of the most valuable resources we have and we tend to forget that sometimes. 
As a goddess of love and war, Ishtar’s message is comes in loud and clear. 

We may think that love and war are two polar opposites. In this case, they seem to be symbiotic. 

Out of self-love comes protection. This is one of the messages that she brings to us today. Having a kind heart and loving deeply is wonderful, but giving too much can sometimes mean giving yourself up. This can leave you feeling consumed and exhausted. 

If you have people pleasing tendencies (like me), it’s much more difficult to not feel guilt over saying no at times. It feels like we’re not being helpful, brings guilt or shame and it can lead to overcompensating and using up all of our energy. This leaves very little for our personal use of energy When this happens, it’s time to tale a step back and check within yourself. Do I really need this? Is it really my place to help? Are my reasons for wanting to help true to myself? Do I have enough to give right now?

Listen to what you feel and need. You are not obligated to give in to ever request, every expectation, every desire or command that others may have for or from you. You are a powerful, autonomous and strong being. Don’t be afraid to set boundaries where you most need them. This may be boundaries for yourself or for others. Channel the Ishtar’s war energy and stand your ground as well as her deep love to carry you through.

At the beginning, it may feel odd by doing so, but little by little, you’ll feel the shift within. You will feel more stable, strong and empowered.
