On Guilt And Shame Eclipse Season

On Guilt and Shame — Eclipse Season

This Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Virgo has been nothing short of transformational.
It’s a mirror showing me where I still hold guilt, where shame still whispers, and where I’m finally ready to let it all go.

During this eclipse season, I’ve been gifted countless opportunities to re-evaluate the choices I make and the energy I share. I’ve been reminded that I hold all the power in my body, my boundaries, and my becoming. For years, I let guilt and shame shape how I saw myself. Religion once taught me that being human meant being wrong. But I’m not wrong for being human. I’m divine for being aware.

This season has taught me that guilt isn’t guidance it’s a signal to pivot. Shame isn’t truth it’s residue from an outdated belief that I am unworthy. I can acknowledge the moments I’ve fallen short without punishing myself for being in progress.

I’m learning to alchemize these lessons.
To turn guilt into gratitude.
To transform shame into self-compassion.
To walk through the fire and rise as something stronger like a Phoenix, forged in grace.

The Universe keeps giving me opportunities to grow, to test my alignment, to remind me that peace is my highest value and self-love is my truest power.

I am grateful for every lesson.
Grateful for every mirror.
Grateful for this beautiful, messy, magnificent life.

May we learn and grow.
Please prioritize self-care and mindfulness.

All my love,

Lessons/Tests From The Universe

The Universe loves to test me. Over and over.
And honestly? I’m tired.

But lately, I’ve been learning to see these “tests” differently not as punishments, but as opportunities. Opportunities to recognize patterns, to pause before reacting, and to choose differently. Because growth doesn’t mean never messing up; it means realizing you don’t have to keep reacting the same way.

Sometimes I fail spectacularly. I say the wrong thing, I don’t set the boundary soon enough, or I walk away wishing I’d handled it better. But that’s part of the process. Each test gives me another chance to ask:
👉 “Is this really who I want to be?”
👉 “Is this how I want to respond next time?”

That’s the real lesson. It’s not about passing or failing it’s about awareness.
It’s about identifying that old energy, that knee-jerk reaction that no longer serves who I’m becoming, and consciously choosing something new.

We’re allowed to pivot.
We’re allowed to change our variables.
We’re allowed to do better one test at a time.

So when the Universe gives you yet another test, remember:
You’re not being punished. You’re being invited to evolve.
And every time you choose differently, you pass with flying colors.

All my love,

Presently Prioritizing Peaceful Passage

Presently Prioritizing Peaceful Passage

Peace is my highest value. It hasn’t always been this way. For years I carried a simmering anger I couldn’t name—an inner dissatisfaction I tried to numb with distraction, addiction, and drama. I longed for peace but didn’t know how to claim it.

Then came a turning point. In 2020, during Dry January, I finally chose to stop numbing and start healing. I wanted mornings without regret, nights without apologies, and a life free from the endless cycle of self-punishment. Choosing peace wasn’t easy—but it changed everything.

Today, peace lives in my soul. It grows stronger every time I follow through on my promises, nourish my body and spirit, and practice the small daily deeds that keep me grounded. Nature, mindfulness, and forgiveness feed this quiet strength. I can’t undo the pain of the past, but I can forgive myself, do better, and keep choosing calm over chaos.

“Presently Prioritizing Peaceful Passage” is my mantra and my mission. It’s an invitation to cultivate a peace that passes all understanding—a peace that’s real, deep, and absolutely possible for you too.

I wish for you a soul-deep peace and personal growth.
Please prioritize self-care and mindfulness.

All my love,
AbFabNerd
