Your archetypes, as unique as your fingerprints, hold the keys to your life’s purpose and creative gifts.
Have you ever pondered why specific individuals, locations, and experiences captivate you?
Have you noticed recurring patterns, unexpected twists, and moments that carry a deeper significance?
Both ancient Greek philosophy and Jungian psychology suggest these occurrences are not coincidental. They are shaped by archetypes—active guardians within your inner psyche that subtly influence your beliefs, decisions, motivations, and choices.
Archetypes are more than just personality traits; they are symbolic roles chosen by your soul before birth to facilitate growth, healing, and the realization of your highest potential.
The archetypes residing within you are as distinct as your fingerprints, offering insights into your life’s purpose, your creative strengths, and the profound meaning behind your greatest challenges.
The remarkable aspect of working with archetypes is their ability to articulate the intangible. They help you understand your patterns, your passions, and your struggles. Crucially, they affirm that your life holds meaning—that you are not flawed or adrift. You are on a soul-driven journey rich with purpose and wisdom.
When you start perceiving your life through the framework of archetypes, confusion gives way to clarity, and your path forward becomes not only apparent but also profoundly motivating.
My business is intentionally not on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or TikTok because I believe in guiding my audience and customers directly, not relying on algorithms to shape their experience.
I want real connections, honest conversations, and a personalized approach that isn’t filtered through trends, likes, or fleeting attention spans. This way, my clients get thoughtful guidance tailored to their needs—not what a platform decides they should see.

Authentic empathy understands that the divisions we see between ourselves and others are actually not real.
Compassion hinges on acknowledging the profound link between ourselves and others. Genuine compassion sees the illusion in the barriers we create. While this deep understanding might be initially elusive, consistent practice fosters its development. Each instance of prioritizing others over ourselves moves us closer, and as with any skill, compassion flourishes in challenging situations.
Daily, we exercise minor acts of compassion when loved ones are irritable or when others make errors in traffic. We show forgiveness by striving for understanding, recalling our stressful moments. However, compassion becomes more difficult when we struggle to comprehend another’s actions. These situations prompt introspection, exposing parts of our psyches we may have repressed or denied due to societal stigma. This is where true personal growth begins, requiring us to examine ourselves and own the disowned aspects of ourselves. It is here that we have the potential for inner transformation.
This might appear daunting, yet when faced with circumstances that demand compassion, regardless of the difficulty, we can trust our preparedness. We can draw upon the developed inner light to guide us, connecting us to the hearts of others.

“If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.”~ Mother Teresa
A meditation with your angels can add a new gentleness to your normal meditation routine.
Following my mother’s passing, I needed a way to communicate with her, as she had been my sole parent since my parents’ divorce when I was very young. Like my mother, I could be both positive and negative, a trait my grandmother often noted during her summer visits, saying we were alike and sometimes didn’t like what we saw in each other.
Despite our challenges, a deep love bound us. Therefore, after losing her physically, I felt a strong need to connect with her spiritually. Two days before she passed, while we were napping, she told me, “Anytime you need me, ‘little girl,’ I’ll come back as dragonflies & butterflies.” For the past twenty-two years, she has kept this promise.
I have since created a prayer corner using two vintage crates from a flea market. This space holds items connecting me to loved ones I’ve lost. It’s where I communicate with my team of angels, and they, in turn, speak to me through visions, words, and symbols.
Although you have many spirit guides, connecting with your angels through meditation can offer unique insights. Your guardian angels are powerful, wise beings with a deep understanding of your needs, strengths, weaknesses, and life purpose. Remember that angels actively intervene in our lives only when invited. Meditation provides an opportunity to connect with them and lovingly request their participation in your daily life.
To begin your angel meditation, find a quiet, private space where you can relax without distractions. While optional, incense and candlelight can help create a meditative atmosphere. Placing an image, statue, or symbolic item representing angels before you can aid in focus.
Sit comfortably, take deep breaths, and allow yourself to relax. Once you feel peaceful, mentally invite your highest-light angels to join you for meditation, emphasizing the importance of this time together. Visualize a bright white light above you and, as you breathe in, draw it into the crown of your head, then throughout your entire body. Feel the light spread through your limbs and core. Repeat this process with a violet light.
Invite your angels to be present once more. Allow the surrounding stillness to enter your being and open your heart to your angelic guidance. If your angels have a message, they will communicate it now. Imagine them wrapping their wings around you, filling you with their abundant love. Inhale this love as you did the light.
As the meditation concludes, you might sense a presence, fluttering wings, or flowing fabric, or perhaps see an angel in your mind’s eye. Thank them for their love, light, and presence during your meditation. If you don’t feel or see anything, don’t be concerned; trust that your angels are with you. You may notice subtle signs of their nearness throughout the day, like finding a feather. With practice, you will become more skilled at recognizing when your angels are close and sensing their presence.
I will soon share the most magical moment of my life in the past twenty-two years: the story of My Dragonflies.
We will always face external opinions on how to live, but our own inner voice should be our guide.
Sixteen months ago, I embarked on a self-discovery journey that is now nearing its end. While I had specific areas I intended to explore, I’ve learned unexpected and profound lessons along the way.
My first-ever journey began after graduating from high school. Growing up in a military family in the 1970s with an alcoholic stepfather, peace was elusive. Speaking out about such abusive situations felt impossible at the time.
Five months after graduation, I moved to Chicago with a friend whose family lived next door to us in Navy housing. This time away provided the necessary distance to begin my search for inner peace.
However, instead of focusing on my own needs, I found myself living in a way that pleased others. I wasn’t being true to the “broken” Cheryl who longed for peace and the freedom to be her authentic self without constant explanation.
As children, we are the recipients of our parents’ aspirations for our success in education and the pursuit of our full potential. This pattern of well-meaning influence can extend into adulthood, where friends might envision ideal partners or careers for us, and even spouses may harbor their own expectations. The people closest to us often have perspectives on how we should navigate life, stemming from affection and a desire for our happiness.
However, these suggestions can sometimes originate from unmet needs, such as a parent seeking vicarious fulfillment or a loved one wanting us to fit a pre-established role. While their input warrants our consideration and appreciation, ultimately, our own inner compass must guide our decisions.
At times, this influx of advice can become overwhelming, leading to feelings of disapproval and self-doubt. These well-intentioned suggestions may inadvertently hinder our personal choices, causing us to question our judgment. We might even find ourselves adopting others’ desires before fully understanding our own. Energetically, this can manifest as resistance or a tendency to withdraw.
It becomes essential to shed these external doubts and introspect to gain clarity on our personal aspirations.
Therefore, it is crucial to communicate our gratitude for the thoughts and ideas shared by our loved ones while firmly asserting our need to live authentically and make independent decisions. We can convey that learning from our own experiences is vital for personal growth and refining our judgment. Ultimately, our loved ones can find comfort in OUR happiness and the path WE choose, realizing that their role is to share in our joy as we pursue our goals.
Peace & Harmony, Cheryl

Right now is an opportunity to begin anew; waiting for a specific date like a new year, month, or week isn’t necessary.
Life presents various opportune moments for new beginnings, such as the start of a year, graduation, career changes, or relocation. These transitions often provide inherent momentum that can propel us forward. However, the power to start fresh is not limited to these events. We can choose to reset at any point, whether it’s to overcome a difficult day or to mend a faltering relationship. This mental reset allows us to approach situations with a clean perspective.
The effectiveness of starting anew is amplified when we concentrate on our desired outcomes. Fixating on negative aspects tends to perpetuate them. It’s crucial to practice self-compassion during new beginnings. Adapting to change takes time, regardless of our enthusiasm for it. Patience is key; setbacks should be viewed as learning opportunities that contribute to our growth and progress.
The very act of deciding to start anew generates its own positive energy. This forward drive creates a pull, attracting the necessary resources to support our chosen path. While the journey may involve unforeseen detours, it’s an ongoing process, much like natural cycles with their phases of growth and dormancy. Each decision to begin again is a commitment to personal improvement and reaching our full potential.
Peace & Harmony, Cheryl
“A person who’s complete by themself doesn’t get bored or lonely,”
Disappointment can ground us in reality and prevent us from dwelling on what could have been.
Disappointment is an unavoidable risk when our expectations aren’t met. This can lead to a range of emotions, from mild sadness to anger, directed at ourselves, others, or the world. Although disappointment is a difficult and natural emotion, there are ways to cope.
Acknowledging and processing disappointment is crucial for personal growth and emotional well-being. One effective way to move forward is through journaling about the experience. This can involve detailing your initial hopes and expectations, contrasting them with the reality of the situation, and exploring the emotions that arise from the discrepancy. By putting your thoughts and feelings into words, you can gain clarity and perspective, allowing you to process the disappointment in a healthy way. This is what I do. . . . .
Disappointment can also serve as a valuable reality check. It can realign your expectations with the actual circumstances, preventing you from dwelling on what could have been and helping you to focus on what is. This can lead to a greater sense of acceptance and peace, enabling you to move forward with a more realistic outlook.
Additionally, reflecting on the experience can help you identify any patterns or recurring themes in your disappointments. This self-awareness can be empowering, as it allows you to make informed decisions and adjust your expectations accordingly, potentially reducing the frequency and intensity of future disappointments.
What’s more, processing sorrow can foster resilience and emotional strength. By learning to cope with setbacks and unmet expectations, you can develop the ability to bounce back from adversity and navigate life’s challenges with greater ease.
Reflecting on past disappointments may reveal that some outcomes were ultimately better than our initial desires. Disappointment can lead to acceptance, wisdom, and the energy to start anew.

The meaning behind your characters’ actions is entirely up to you, regardless of who they are or what they’ve done.
We all have a unique life story, shaped by relationships and events that influence our identity and beliefs. Our experiences can either lead to negativity and victimization or empower us towards self-development, depending on our perspective and willingness to grow.
The story we tell ourselves about our experiences makes all the difference.
Reflect on your own life story. If you feel peaceful about the past and trust in your ability to handle future challenges, you are framing your circumstances in a way that benefits you. Conversely, if you harbor guilt or resentment and often feel burdened by life, consider creating a new narrative for past and present events.
Regardless of the individuals involved in your life and their actions, you have the power to assign meaning to those actions and define your role in your own life. By taking responsibility for your story, you can learn, grow, forgive, find compassion, and move towards a brighter future.
I’m currently writing a story about my mother and how she used humor to teach me life lessons, refusing to let me be the wallflower I so desperately wanted to be. I want to share her story, and the story of our navy friends who became family and more, with the world.
From this point forward, choose a life story that supports you.
Let it be a testament to your resilience and creativity. Be kind to yourself and allow yourself ample opportunities to learn. Remember, as the author of your own story, you have the freedom to create a masterpiece.
In winter, the Earth is blanked in quietude as animals and humans alike seek refuge indoors for deep reflection~
In autumn, the Earth begins to let go of all that it has been holding onto during the spring and summer months. By midwinter, it has released everything and rests in its uncomplicated beauty, free of the frantic activity of the warmer seasons.
The harsh conditions of winter, with its cold temperatures and lack of sunlight, drive both humans and animals to seek shelter indoors. In response, we create warm and inviting spaces within our homes, offering a comforting contrast to the stark and quiet winter landscape. During this time, nature itself seems to retreat and rest, as life withdraws inward to endure the season.
During the winter months, shorter days and longer nights disrupt our natural cycles, even in warmer climates. To stay warm, we light fires and eat hot meals, similar to animals hibernating in caves. We sleep more and desire rest.
The slower pace of winter offers the opportunity for rest, longer sleep, and a calmer mind, while also encouraging companionship and connection around the fire.
While the darkness of winter settles over the Earth, we find comfort indoors, enjoying laughter, food, conversation, sleep, and books. The Earth shows us how to embrace change and recognize our role within it. We can find inspiration in her peaceful surrender to emptiness, peace, and darkness—which all precede form, activity, and light.
To show our gratitude for the Earth’s lessons and gifts, we can offer a seasonal blessing of appreciation. By holding the Earth in our hearts and thanking her for our existence, we show our respect and acknowledge our interconnectedness.
