Humanity is in a global reset. Not to diminish the deaths, severe life changes, and global panic, but another level of change is happening due to the pandemic.

A global hibernation, never seen to this extent before. Lockdown, inside, limited contact with other people, a forced silence. Many have taken time to look inside, discover hidden talents, find ways to be at peace and joy amidst the external chaos.

We’ve all changed. Meeting people on the street, it’s vulnerable. You know all the ways you’ve changed. What inner direction has your friend taken? Do you still have anything in common? Meeting each other for the first time, only with a backstory of who we each used to be.

There’s no going back to normal. By stopping the rat race, we’re discovering the underbelly of normal, and it’s not pretty. In the normal, we tried to squish ourselves into a distorted, convoluted fake reality. Do we have the courage and inner strength to come out as an evolved person? Or will we revert to the old ingrained patterns of who we were?

We have a fantastic opportunity to meet each person fresh, in a new way. The known backstory released an opening and possibility for something different — an unknown connection, relationship, based on something more profound than before. An exposure of more of our true essence, dropping our guard, being vulnerable, showing our hidden gifts. Sharing our delights and pleasures, offering our unique inner wisdom.

What are the blessings, the good things that happened during the pandemic? We’re almost afraid to admit the positive changes.

What openings occurred for more light and joy in your life? How have you grown into more of yourself? What is inside ready to blossom?

We can emerge with a new world vision. Instead of feeling like a helpless victim, we can choose to evolve into who we want to become, our soul essential self-not the conditioning of how we are supposed to feel and think, but a connection to our depths.

What values and magical qualities does your vision hold for a new reality? If you could create the world, what would it look like?

What tiny steps can you take today to start to create that reality in your life?

The future is not cast in stone; we create it each day with each thought, action, and belief.

Now, more than ever, it’s time to expose your wisdom, and together we can create a new reality.
