Can you believe it?! This is my 100th post and only now am I feeling like it is beginning to feel as authentic as I want. I have written on so many different topics within spirituality here. I just cannot niche myself down. I am an eclectic spiritualist, and I can’t help but be fascinated by so many aspects of this journey.
I am so grateful for the 44 of you that are here. Thank you for being here.
I have never successfully run a newsletter or blog type of deal like this. I usually get bored part way through, and I give up. This 15 months of consistency just screams the devotion and practice of the 8 of Pentacles.
The pentacles are nothing if not consistent. They are the suit that I have always been most drawn to because they are grounded, practical, and there is longevity to them. I am naturally a fast burn type of person. I can plan and plan and plan, and even start sometimes, but that long haul to the end? That’s not who I naturally am.
I have leaned on pentacles for years now, but the 8 of Pentacles in the last few months has been highly prevalent, and I am so grateful for it. It is a constant reminder of perseverance, the patience required within growth and learning, and dedication to ourselves and our goals.
As I look forward to continuing on this platform, I am excited to begin introducing more behind the scenes content for my paid subscribers. I have my first studio vlog filmed, and I am learning how to edit it. I will be channeling the 3 of pentacles for this as I watch YouTube after YouTube after YouTube.
The $5 per month subscription is for the zodiac season spreads. You can get the Virgo Season Spread here. Those of you who are paid subscribers know that I have also been using that space to desensitize my anxiety of being seen online. I plan on expanding that to a studio vlog. They will be chatty, behind the scenes vlogs once a month or so. I have really been enjoying the BTS and studio vlogs lately, and I want to try my hand at them. This first one is not perfect, but I am going to share it anyway because we will not give into perfectionism. I have bits from the full vlog up on IG right now.
I am also looking to maybe open up some spiritual coaching, tarot coaching, crystal coaching type classes or groups. As I have reflected, I am realizing that I want to be working with people who are ADHD or Autistic, or in some other way identifying with neurodivergence. As someone who is ADHD (and meets the criteria, though is undiagnosed, for Autism) and has worked intimately with this population for almost a decade, I feel like I have a unique lens and perspective within this realm and the ability to teach and coach. I have often listened to NT people teach about spirituality, journaling, etc., and I have always left feeling more confused and underwhelmed. I think I have identified why, and I would love to help others who are feeling very much in the same boat as I have.
(I, of course, would not turn away those who are NT, but they would have to learn to put up with me and my communication style.)
I would also love to get my Oracle Portal class off the ground, and it might be something that I do online and mail out the bits and bobs to people. I am curious if there would be any interest in these things. I am a licensed teacher, and I understand the flow of learning, lesson plans, and how to adapt my teaching to individual needs. Teaching is my calling, even if it is not within a traditional school classroom. I will continue to mull it over.
I am not sure what other changes are coming, but I am excited to see where this platform takes me, where it takes this little community we have fostered here. Thank you, as always, for reading, commenting, and being present in this space. I appreciate your presence, and I am honored to be allowed on your journey with you.
What would YOU like to see in this space? What content do you enjoy most? Which is your least favorite? Let me know!
Wishing you well this week! May your life offer what you need in this moment.
With love,
Aventurine ✨
I'm so excited to read about your plans for what you will do next! These last few months for me have been spent offline focusing on work and family. I'm starting to feel the inkling to write and share about what I've been doing, now I just need to make the time. Congratulations on 100 posts! 🎉❤️
