You can’t force a miracle

Sometimes we try to force an up level, a glow up – and it just doesn’t work that way. 

Don’t get me wrong, it takes action and showing up for yourself in a new and powerful way, but it’s not something we can put a deadline on or expect to look a certain way. 

This morning I wandered down to the beach here on the beautiful Isle of Iona (which is just incredible) and sat on a rock to just be with the water, the island, the air. 

If you have been here for a while, you know that every time I return to this sacred island, my life changes and something huge shifts, and I never expect it. 

But you see, now I know this. 

I expected it. 

I sat on the rock, and waited for my “heavens are opening, answers and clarity descending to me in a beam of light” moment.  

And it didn’t come. 

I waited. 

It didn’t happen. 

I got a little frustrated.

And then boom – “you can’t expect to receive a life changing moment or some big clarity without dropping into yourself first, and without offering anything to the land” loud and clear. 

So I returned to my practices, I called in the Goddesses and guides I work with, I realised this message was the clarity moment I needed, and I recommitted myself in that moment to my path of service of the divine. 

I then humbly asked for guidance on how to walk that path, how to balance all the parts of myself whilst still remaining a clear vessel for what is meant to flow through me. 

I communed with the divine, with Iona, and with my soul. 

I dropped into the surrender. 

I landed here. 

Waking one foot in front of the other on this sacred island. Exactly as I am. 

And this is day one of the trip. 

I can’t wait to see what else unfolds as I get to know myself better whilst walking this sacred land. 

I am so excited to return in September and lead a group of powerful women on retreat here. 

I am so grateful to Iona, to my guides, to myself. 

Magic happens here. Let’s see what unfolds next. 

With love, always,

Darcie
