5 Year Blogiversary ~ Intentions in Process

Can you believe it,  litebeing chronicles is five years old! This blog has become a boisterous, temperamental 5-year-old, finding its voice and asserting its creative muscle day-to-day, from draft to publish. I am featuring a new drawing and tagline to celebrate another exciting year of blogging and building community.

A few months back, Sue Dreamwalker commented that I create some new artwork to reflect a fresh outlook. You can read the blog that inspired her comment here.  The image above  is my re-imagining of my healing journey. The grand canyon in the Western US is my muse, along with the recent transit of Saturn in Capricorn. Since I have my natal Saturn in Capricorn, it is “right on time.” The grand canyon is a kaleidoscope of earth and sky and light, punctuated by wildlife and human interactions. Saturn in Capricorn symbolizes navigating obstacles and delays with patience, persistence, humility, and grace.

I apparently chose the same color palette as my Colonodyssey piece,  but that is where the similarities end. Without hyper-analysis, I see this drawing as flowing with movement, soft in mood, and focused upward. Perhaps in time more nuanced symbolism will reveal itself. I am pleased to have finished the piece, which I nurtured slowly and spontaneously.

Along with the art, I crafted a new tagline to celebrate my 5th blogging year: separation interrupted, evolution imminent. I really like the phrase Girl, Interrupted, taken from the film of the same name. Then I combined it with my reaction to the separation by adding evolution imminent.

I see this phrase as a description of my writing, my spiritual journey, and of the planet at large. The concept of separation is taken from A Course in Miracles, where it is seen as the illusion of disconnect from Source.  Collective separation is on the wane, and ascension is imminent. The tricky part is determining exactly how imminent and what ascension/evolution/at-one-ment will look like. I do not have the answers. The words came to me and I just jotted them down and edited the tagline, that’s all! We shall see how this tagline plays out, for myself, my writing, and the highest good for Gaia.

As many readers know, I deliberated chose 1-11 as my blog birthday because I had been seeing 11s and 1s repeatedly as numerical sequences everywhere and with increasing frequency. As it turns out, 2018 is an 11 year.  2 + 1 +8 equals 11.  11 is a master number , which holds a higher vibrational frequency. It signifies inspiration and all things mystical. It is also a double one, emphasizing innovation, self, independence, and mastery. When not approached with loving intentions, an 11 can be reduced to a 2, which centers around relationships and duality.

So what are my intentions for this 5th blogging year? The number 5 deals with adventure, movement, and travel and is associated with the planet Mercury so perhaps my evolution will include some or all of those directions. The 5th dimension is where we are ultimately headed as a planetary species, so that is another clue. While I am not living there in physical form all the time, I have occasional fleeting glimpses of the plane where divine love and effortless manifestation reside.

I have not formally set any intentions yet, except to make good on some promises to publish a few posts from 2017 that eluded me. I also want to share my genealogy findings, interview some folks, and bring some more awareness to addiction and mental illness as they pertain to the spiritual path. Beyond that, I need to take some time to see if there are new avenues for me to explore creatively.

 

Which topics are you interested in ?

Please let me know your preferences in the comments section.

I always love to hear from you!

 

I have drawn some cards for the new year and many of them point to passion for work, fertility, creativity, love, inner reflection, and masculine energy. It is interesting how so many of the cards within this reading and together with last lunation’s reading focus on the same themes. Since my blog documents the curiosity and awe that appear as light in my life, it is likely that these themes will show up here at WordPress. Speaking of WordPress, here’s to an awesome birthday for WP founder Matt Mullenweg. Cheers!

Thanks to all my fellow writers and readers who share the lite with me from post to post and comment to comment. We are all in this together!

Blessings, Linda aka litebeing

  4. I am late in arriving on your anniversary Linda.. I was so pleased to see you have completed your new artwork.. And like you I feel 2018 is lighter, brighter and will uncover many shadows to reveal the light waiting to burst through beneath..
    The years are flowing ever faster as are the days of January.. No sooner did I welcome the New Year in and today already 17 days have passed by.
    11 is powerful..
    Have a most wonderful Day.. My own intentions are to put my own poems together.. So having lots of days away from the internet with modem turned off.. So forgive the intermittent visits..
    Wishing you well my friend… I know it will be a great Year for you. xxx ❤

    1. Hi Sue,

      Blessings on 2018n and always! I was hoping you would notice that I eventually took you up on the idea of doing a new piece to symbolize this step of my healing journey. I do see 11 as powerful and my choice to begin writing here on 1-11 is a reminder of how powerful an influence my numerical visions became, which led me to NOW!.

      I hope you will find ease and fulfillment as you set your intentions forward.

      love to you, Linda

  6. Hey Linda, Namaste 🙂

    Happy New Year – Happy Blog Birthday – a double celebration at the beginning of the year. I certainly got swept up in the energy of your Blog: a real tour-de-force from start to end.

    Your fresh artwork is far less erratic than previous, the brush strokes uniform and one directional across the page. The tone of the colour is subdued, which I find interesting: as if the colour waits to go vibrant’ I also like that the central element rises to the top of the page as a ‘triangular’ shape – an upward pointing triangle symbolic of Fire, Passion, Masculine Energy, Will, Determination, Invention, Creativity etc. It’s a vey powerful symbol.. Overall, I find the image reflects a quality of rippled stillness within which you are content to pause and ponder, perhaps weigh up options or direct focus.

    It’s good to see you at peace within and yet so supercharged as well: it’s a great combo. With so much energy available to you 2018 might very well be your year! 🙂

    Regards the intended posts on Mental Health and Addiction – I still think you should write a book that somehow pulls all your interests and passions together in one volume. Perhaps create an alternate and unique ‘healing system’ – an Astrologers Field-guide to Counselling and Therapy. There is vast scope in that to keep you busy ad honest. You could even team up with other alternate therapy practioners, or holistic therapists and combine ideas to produce a very detailed book as text for clinical practice 🙂

    I don’t know much about anything Linda, but I’m certain your imminent moment of at-one-ment will be significant enough to register with you. Does it really matter when that moment comes or how it is defined? You’ll embrace it anyway, right? 🙂

    Good to touch base with you Linda. It’s going to be a great year! Power to the 11! 😉

    Love and World Peace. Namaste 🙂

    1. Hey Dewin,

      Thank you so much for your friendship and loyalty. Sometimes I think you are more familiar with my blog than I am! That is to be taken as a compliment 🙂 I appreciate all the suggestions about creative ventures, but adjusting to my new job and long commute, after effects/ injuries from recent car accident, etc, my plate is FULL! Let me find some breathing room and then I can perhaps contemplate the future ( which is just a concept afterall). Honestly I have not had time to read many blogs, much to my dismay, I have fallen waay behind, but on this plane time is limited and I do the best I can.

      Power to the people, and the 11!

      peace, Linda

  7. Happy Blogiversary!
    I wish you creativity and fun for the next year.
    It is interesting that the card drawings showed many of the same cards in two different drawings. That seems like it does really mean something.
    You made some suggestions what you would blog about. I would like to hear more about the topics of mental illness and addiction on the spiritual path.
    Hugs,
    Karin

    1. Hi Karin and thanks for the well wishes. I was surprised by some of the card messages because they so not seem to match my reality, but that can be changed :). yes, I asked for feedback and suggestions as I want to know what my readers like. I hope to use what I have learned as a therapist to inform my writing.

      hugs, Linda

    1. Hi Barbara,
      Thank you for your generous and continuous support of my evolution, creatively and in all ways! Trust is primary and often slippery as we humans attempt to transcend ( but not extinguish) ego and live as if we were not housed in bodies on this dense planet we call Gaia. I struggle with trust and work with many souls who trust no one, especially themselves. I am loving my work and see it as a springboard upon which other developments will be launched as Jupiter moves closer to my MH ( among other things).

      Blessings on this new year and all that your magnificence sparks from within.

      love, Linda
