Today's card is the River of Blessings: Releasing Constraints card from the Priestess of Light deck by Sandra Anne Taylor and Kimberly Webber. It's about breaking through limitations, whether perceived or real, whether self-imposed or imposed from without, whether long-standing or relatively new in your life.

What would I do if I trusted that the next step would become clear after I took this one?

Sometimes we spend so much energy trying to see the entire path that we never take the first step.

The irony is that clarity often comes through movement, not before it. Spend a few minutes with this question today and see what surfaces.
I'd love to hear what comes up for you.

You are capable of far more than you think you are!

Today's YEMIG reading comes from the Wild Offering deck by Tosha Silver and calls for us to trust that still inner voice that is connected to the All That Is. What Tosha calls our "holy intuition" can guide us through all manner of confusion and difficulties in our lives.

Have you ever noticed how quickly your mind can move from faith to fear... and back again?

One minute you're dreaming about what's possible. The next minute you're wondering how in the world you'll make it happen. I've been sitting with that tension lately, noticing the places where I want more flow in my life while simultaneously gripping the faucet a little too tightly.

Most of us aren't actually *seemingly* stuck because we don't know what to do next.
We're stuck because we're afraid to take the first step before we can see the whole staircase. But life rarely works that way.

I've learned that when a step feels too big, the answer isn't to quit. It's to make the step smaller. One baby step. Then another.

As one of the cards sitting on my desk reminds me every day: "Move ahead anyway. Your soul knows the way through."

What's one small step you've been avoiding? I wrote more about navigating the space between faith and fear in this week's Substack article.

I just sat here for probably 10 minutes with my mind spinning off in all sorts of directions.

"The soul given to each of us is moved by the same living spirit that moves the universe." ~Albert Einstein

DEEP IDENTITY is about seeing the UNITY behind Diversity, focusing on the deeper ways we are all connected together.

There will be no peace in the world until a majority of the human family recognize every other person on the planet as a sister or brother, One Earth Community.

Albert Einstein understood this, as well as the Beatles, Buddha, Jesus, JFK, Jane Goodall, Malala Yousafzai, Thich Nhat Hanh, Bishop Tutu, Mahatma Gandhi, Joanna Macy, Martin Luther King Jr.-- basically most Nobel Peace Prize winners and many of our grandmothers.

Wars are rooted in identification with labels and differences of surface identity, where atrocities are then committed by anyone willing to mass murder large numbers of human beings.

Some say the wars happening now are the fault of Americans or Israelis, Muslims or Jews, the IDF or Hamas, Trump, Netanyahu or Putin, etc, etc.

But the real enemy here is "us vs them" thinking, the mental models (belief systems) we have that promote "othering" and the dark psychology of demonization, dehumanization, stereotyping.

This is the mindset of terrorism as well as all wars, what prompted Al Qaeda on 9/11, Japan to attack Pearl Harbor, Americans to bomb HIroshima, Chinese to take over Tibet, Russia to go into Ukraine, Hamas to attack on 10/7 and Israelis to lay siege to Gaza for two years.

No one leader, religion, culture or nation is to blame here. The problem is the dark patterns of human psychology. To bring an end to war, dehumanization, antisemitism, oppression and racism there needs to be a shift in consciousness and behavior by all of us.

This is the message of the classic book "The Little Prince," that what is most essential is invisible to the eyes and can only be seen with our hearts. Otherwise, we remain blind.

Today's YEMIG video is based on the Spider Spirit card from the Spirit Animal Pocket Oracle deck by Colette Baron-Reid. This card calls for us to bring a single thread of intention to Spirit and allow ourselves to co-weave our dreams into reality. The guidance is to be clear about your intentions, then act as if you have already become the one who lives the life you desire, taking incremental steps to create that life.

Today's YEMIG video comes from the Self card from the Grace Cards deck by Cheryl Richardson. This invites us to go within and develop our spiritual lives such that the outer world begins to take care of itself more and more.

Today's YEMIG reading comes from the Wild Offering deck by Tosha Silver. The card for Service talks about the habit many of us have developed of "using the Universe" to get what we want rather than being of Service to the Universe. How can you serve? How, in helping others, can you receive exactly what you need as well? When our focus shifts from "What can I get?" to "How can I serve?", the Universe responds by moving us into the flow of getting our own needs and wants met.
