Today’s Mandala Message: Awareness as to what is stopping us and what can help us move forward is half the journey. Taking positive action on both is the other half. I’m finishing up with Principles #9 and #10 from Jack Canfield’s “The Success Principles” entitled “Success Leaves Clues” and “Release the Brakes” respectively. Today I set my intention to focus on both principles in general. I let…

Overcoming Stagnation & Limitation in Life

Choose which is important to you- your comfort zone or a better life. You have been built with the abilities and possibilities of divinty, make it count! Don’t allow the challenges of life make you think less of yourself. There is no passion to be found in playing small; in settling for a life less than the one you are capable of living. There’s no joy in living your whole life on the ground.…

graphic design is my passion (a graphic i threw together on Canva yesterday for work reasons)

My coworker and I have been spending time looking through a Values Matrix produced for the nonprofit we work for that assesses aspects of underperforming, performing, and exceeding expectations within our organization's Mission and Values. This made me think of the model of Comfort Zones, Growth Zones, and Panic/Danger Zones. My coworker and I had a discussion about people (especially our clients, who have cognitive disabilities as well as long histories of trauma, co-occurring diagnoses, and other unique barriers to change) using Fear Zones as a defense mechanism, and how touchy it can be to navigate the space between meaningful growth and being overwhelmed/in the Panic Zone. Anyway, I ended up making a graphic about it that I'm probably going to share at our next department meeting.

#OutgrowingIsHealthy

[mystery-salad]

The world is safe now.

You tell yourself that as Zhaitan clings to a tower of decay, crumbling beneath its claws as the canons aim true. The shots hit, cheers raise as the dragon topples down. Falling from view through the miasma it created below. No one can hear it hit the ground over the relieved shouts of victory ringing across the airships. But everyone feels it in a resounding rumble that shouldn't have carried through the air like that. The celebrating falters, confusion rising but not fast enough to prepare for what follows. The shockwave hits like nothing you've ever felt. Everything goes dark as the screams begin.

The world is safe now, Orr is not.

You wake up in the rubble as survivors try to make sense of what happened. The dragon is dead, but no one accounted for where all the consumed magic had to go. No one planned for this despite generations of preparation. Perhaps there's a reason for the dragons, you hear murmurs through the tents. But you didn't come this far to call it quits, and one land riddled with a decaying radiation can't stop the mission. The contamination in your blood won't stop you.

The world is safe now. Orr is gone.

Mordremoth stares you down from within his mind. You're like a weed that won't die, small and foreign but resilient and ready to take everything. The odds are against you with the team sent away, you can't face the gaze of the dead like last time. They're safe at a distance, you have to hope they got far enough as you defy the odds and strike another dragon down.

The world is safe, but there's a catch.

Trahearne shudders as your mind returns to your body, as you look around in wonder that there isn't a shockwave like last time. He's so calm as he explains the truth of it, defying how terrified he is of dying, of asking a friend to do this and stand at ground zero once again. But you stand just as calm, picking up the blade and telling him to close his eyes. You hope he'll rest well, wherever his life takes him next. As the blade cuts through, you know it's real as the shockwave begins just like last time. You brace for impact as much as you can.

The world is safe now. The desert is gone.

It's almost tempting to let Balthazar handle the rest, let the god walk a path of destruction to each dragon, sparing yourself further damage. But his path leaves so much unnecessary devastation...so here you are alone with another dragon. Well, not completely alone now. You have Aurene, though you're still not sure if that's truly a blessing any more. The two of you corner Kralkatorrik, the perfect trap laid deep underground in old sunspear ruins.

The world is safe now, until the dragon takes a last stand.

Waking up in wreckage is becoming normal to you. When did that happen, when did the panic vanish? No time to think on it as new plans have to be laid out. You chase him down, you and your dragon, to kill her grandfather and save the world again. Setbacks are numerous. It's harder to work alone on this one, so many soldiers are ready to see it to the end with you. You tell them they don't know what they're asking for and send them away again. Aurene, still a child, fights the dragon's minions nearly overwhelmed as you get to his heart and strike. You've never seen the explosion from inside before. It's so bright.

The world is safe now. The island is gone.

Is it worth it all? It has to be, you tell yourself, as people celebrate your victories in a shrinking world. Refugees who have fled the fallout zones don't seem to agree, but at least they're alive right? And you know you're almost done. Jormag and Primordus, opposites and twins, rise together and somehow feel like childsplay after the last one. Perhaps it's because aurene is an equal to them now. You don't dare to think of the devastation that would be left if she were to die now. Thankfully you don't have to as the siblings tear each other apart.

The world is safe now. The mountains are gone.

No one has seen the final dragon in ages, hidden away deep underwater until you stumble into the truth while chasing a lesser threat. Soo Won was so gentle once, but the void ravages all. It feasts on the magic you released so willingly into the world, your devastations have paved the way for this chaos.

The world is safe now, for the void to reform.

You've survived so much despite the odds, held together by the very magic degrading your bones and poisoning your blood. The void pulls at those strings as it taunts you through the voice of the dragon who started it all. It's the hardest fight you've ever faced. As Aurene pumps you full of power to survive, you wonder if your death would bring destruction too in this moment. But it's left a mystery as Soo Won falls and the void fades. There's a moment of peacefulness you've never felt before, the grandmother hanging on long enough to comfort her granddaughter. But she can't prevent the state of her death. The jade sea shatters beneath your feet as she dies.

The world is safe now. But how much of it is left?

Today’s Mandala Message: Be willing to change our behavior. I’m continuing with Principles #9 and #10 from Jack Canfield’s “The Success Principles” entitled “Success Leaves Clues” and “Release the Brakes” respectively. Today I set my intention to focus on #10 and look at changing my behavior. It’s like that definition of insanity: keep doing the same things, expecting different results. If we…

How to get out of your own bubble! 🫧

[whydotheycallmechimney]

one of the things I love about haylijah is that the entire relationship is on hayley’s terms. she’s the active party in their dynamic (if she wants something she takes it!).

she pursues him. she sets the ground rules. she challenges him to take her or leave her. he might have no problem showing how he feels through acts of service, but when he takes too long to vocalize the depth of those feelings, she tells him to give her space (because while she is a woman of action, she’s also the queen of communicating how she feels.) when they break up, it’s because she decided it’s what’s best for the life that she wants, and he respects that. she’s the one who seeks him out, even when he’s off in amnesia land.

I know people have hangups about the girl loves boy more trope, but sometimes it can be so satisfying to see a woman’s feelings and desires be the center of a romance. and their relationship isn’t built entirely around hayley always being the one making those big moves. she sets the pace, but elijah meets her there. he chooses her in season one and he does so again in season three. even without memory he’s drawn to her. that’s the push and pull of their relationship, hayley sees something that she wants and goes for it, and elijah in return, matches her energy and then some.
