September: The Month of Lessons



Yesterday, I hit my lowest of lows. Eclipse energy came swinging, and it landed right on me. Earlier this week I shared a dream about failure — about how fear can block us from reaching our full potential. Well, that dream didn’t just stay a dream. It showed up in my reality.


I was on the cusp of breaking through an old pattern that has been draining me for years. I could almost taste the victory. Then, in a moment of weakness, I slipped. Just like that, I fell back into what I thought I’d already left behind. I was disgusted with myself. Disappointed. Frustrated. It felt like every single thing I touched that day turned into another disappointment. My energy was gone. I tried to shake it off, but nothing worked.


But even in that dark space, I remembered the dream. In the dream, I failed the test. I asked the teacher when I could rewrite, and she said, “Anytime.” That was the spark I needed. The reminder that failure isn’t the end. You can always try again. This time, stronger. This time, wiser.


September has been a teacher in its own right. It’s a month that forces you to close out cycles that no longer serve you. It’s uncomfortable, sometimes brutal, but it’s necessary. Every setback is a test, asking: Did you learn? Will you choose differently this time?


Here’s the thing: October isn’t a clean slate. It’s the study month. It’s the space where you get to practice what you’ve learned, to show whether those lessons stuck. And November? That’s results season. November reveals whether you truly broke the pattern or if you’ll be forced to sit with the same exam paper again.


So yes, failure is part of the journey. But let’s not confuse failure with being stuck. You can fail forward. You can fail smarter. You can pick yourself up and rewrite that test as many times as it takes.


This season, I’m choosing to stop bowing to the same cycles. I’m choosing to pass the test. To move forward, not backward. To remind myself (and you) that enlightenment, growth, and the goals we’re chasing aren’t just handed to us — they’re earned through lessons, rewrites, and resilience.


So let’s rise together. Let’s stop repeating the same mistakes. Let’s close these chapters for good.


The universe is testing us.

Let’s pass this time.

The pattern isn't the problem. Lack of awareness is

Today I found myself deep in thought again. To be honest, I usually am. My mind tends to wander into questions most people pass by without noticing. Something pulled me toward the The Emerald Tablets of Thoth the Atlantean, specifically the chapter about the Key of Time . It speaks about time not as a straight line, but as something circular. Cycles. Loops. Patterns that repeat themselves until something changes. That idea stayed with me long after I finished reading. Because when you look closely at life, it starts to feel true. Our past has a strange way of shaping our future. Childhood experiences, the things we witness growing up, the wounds we carry without even realizing it. They settle somewhere deep within us and quietly influence the decisions we make later on. You often hear people say, “I will never repeat the mistakes my parents made.” On the surface, that sounds like a powerful promise. A vow to do better. A vow to be different. But sometimes that vow becomes something h...

A Prayer for the Hell I Know

Image
  Lord I miss home. Not because it was gentle not because it was kind but because it was familiar. I hated it there. I hated the walls the voices the way pain learned my name. And yet compared to where I stand now it feels like shelter. I thought this place would save me. I thought safety lived here that peace wore this address. But saints can be cruel Lord crueler than demons who admit what they are. They smile with Scripture on their lips hands lifted in worship eyes closed to the wreckage they cause. They never look in the mirror. They hide behind the Bible behind church doors behind the illusion of holiness. So here I am praying words I never thought I would dare to say. Send me back. Back to the hell I know. Back to the demons whose faces I recognize. I would rather bleed where I understand the wounds than suffocate among those who call themselves pure while sharpening their knives in secret. I hate that I want this. I hate that I have no choice. I hate that endurance has beco...

Letting Go is Hard, But It Needs to Happen.

Image
  Letting go sounds simple when you say it out loud. But the truth is, it’s one of the hardest things the heart ever has to learn. Sometimes it’s not the leaving that hurts the most — it’s what rises to the surface when someone returns. Recently, a person who once meant the world to me came back. Our story never ended with a dramatic goodbye. No fight. No explanation. Just silence — the kind that echoes in the spaces where words should have lived. We were close once. The kind of close where conversations flowed without effort and laughter came easy. Beneath the friendship lived something neither of us expected — a soft, unspoken love that surprised us both. And just as quickly as it appeared, he pulled away. The distance wasn’t just physical; it unraveled something inside me. His silence awakened parts of myself I didn’t know were fragile. Insecurity. Obsession. The fear of not being enough. I became desperate for crumbs of attention, and somewhere along the way, I began losing mys...
