Satisfaction Butter Beer or the 11/11 portal & my annual life report

Weekend Special

My dear beloved customers,

What can I get you today? With Halloween magic still lingering on and with 11/11 Portal in approach, what about our Weekend Special Satisfaction Butter Beer?

What is so satisfying about that Butter Beer and is it as magic as the one in Harry Potter, will you ask me? Maybe the Bartender who is serving it makes it satisfying and magic or maybe it’s just life itself…

Last fall, while starting to have fun with mirror hours - I get them at least three to five times a day -, I discovered that some intuitive persons believed in the magic of the 11/11 day and the potential energetic portal that open on that day and allows you to place the intentions for the year to come. As I was then in the middle of writing my first novel brought to me by the magic of the Universe, I thought it would not hurt to try it and wrote my wishes and intentions in my journal.

What is important to know here is that I’m a very hard to please person, especially when dealing with myself, and I tend to think that things are never moving fast enough. So, this year, as I turned 52 on Halloween day - that’s my witch part and I love being a magic creature, as all human beings are by the way! - I decided to sit a little while with myself to look at my achievements for the past year and be grateful for them.

That’s how I peacefully realized that I was indeed grateful for a lot of things:

• Writing my first novel which brought joy to a dozen of people including me, though it hasn’t found its publisher yet. No worries, I know it will.

• Learning to notice the signs from my guides and the Universe, especially the incredible three double-rainbows which appeared at my window and which I cling to when I get frustrated and tend to lose faith in the magic of the Universe.

• My gall bladder removal surgery that went so well despite the pain

• My uterus removal surgery that went so well and was almost painless

• The time I was offered, despite my usual frustration for things not moving fast enough, to rest and recover from those two surgeries

• Starting my Substack “Café 42” which allows me to write weekly in English and to build an amazing community here, meeting incredible people around the world in the process

• Writing my first children book in French and in English about uniqueness as a strength and creating the illustrations with an AI

• Creating a tiny publishing house to host my children book and allow me to go and read it in schools and libraries, and later on in hospitals to sick children as well.

• Finding a terrific mentor who helps me cope with some of my blocks and heal some old wounds that still stand in my way.

• Taking a 2 km walk daily which I stick to with so much joy - and music! - unless it rains or the wind blows too strongly

• Having written already one third of my second novel

Eleven achievements, though some are not really my doing, are not so bad for one year and I am really quite proud of those that are mine. Before writing that list, I was so focused on what I had not achieved yet, basically the frustration of my first novel not having ignited an interest in a publisher’s heart yet, that I was under the impression that I had done nothing with my life for a year.

But I have done so much already, trying everyday to improve myself, to be a better version of myself always. I’ve worked a lot on my anger as well for I have had regular uncontrollable bursts of anger for decades now and I hate myself for them when they occur, especially when they are directed toward my daughter. It is still a work in progress but I am much better at handling them now, not letting them controlling me anymore.

Some of those achievements were part of my last year 11/11 intentions - I had forty so that was quite a lot and I am saving those I haven’t achieved yet for this year - such as:

• More light to shine over people

• More opportunities to talk in English

• More freedom

• More new encounters

• More visibility for me and my work

• More connection with more people

• More dancing

• More love to share and receive

• More novelties and surprises

• More joy, fun and laughter

I’m proud of the person I have become during this year and so grateful for all the gifts I’ve been given during that journey, including the three great life lessons I’ve had to learn:

1. To be patient. One of my greatest challenges and I received quite a lesson in that matter from my guides. When I came back from my summer vacation, my back was aching and I went to see a physiotherapist who was always late. Each time I went to see her, I would sit in the waiting room and, each time, I noticed that, after ten minutes or so, I was anxious that she had forgotten me so, instead of waiting for her to come and get me, I would enter the hall and wait for her standing still amongst the people who were doing exercises, sometimes intrusively right in front of her as she was finishing to write something at her desk. After two or three bursts like that who actually made me feel rude and very unconfortable, I chose to stay on my seat and sit with my anxiety of being abandoned or forgotten. What I realized was that there was no way I was actually going to be forgotten and that my time would ultimately come, no matter what. That’s how I was taught patience by my guides: thanks to those awkward moments, I understood that my turn would always come when the time is right, so there was nothing to fear and no need to rush, just faithfully wait for it to happen, and I like the irony of learning that when I was actually a “patient”.

2. To act upon every opportunity the Universe sends my way with curiosity, accepting it if what I am offered brings me joy and refusing it if not for the Universe to adapt to what I really want and send me a much better offer later, even if it is something I’ve never done before because, if the Universe sends it my way, it knows I have what it takes to handle it and I will learn everything I need to achieve it. I trust that the Universe to have my best interests at stake.

3. To never worry about any detour or a sticky issue sent on my path because, though it seems a stressful negative event in the first place, it will either teach me something I will need to know later on the road - I gained that piece of wisdom from my very wise Substack friend

   - or the outcome will actually be unexpectedly very favorable for me, opening a new opportunity that wouldn’t have existed otherwise, a little like a life test with a great reward if I pass it. Again, I’ve learned to trust that the Universe has my back and my best interests at stake.

I’ve said it a few times in my previous posts, but I heard Neale Donald Walsch say that once and it is very true: Faith and Fear are the two sides of a same coin. Indeed, fear is a negative projection of one or several events that are not real and will probably never take place and faith is a positive projection of those exact same events that have the exact same probability to occur. So I’d rather live with my dreams which are the ultimate positive projections of what could happen next and the faith that they will indeed occur, no matter what.

I have the power to decide who I want to be in my life and what I want to do with it. In accordance to that, I believe that I have the power to command the Universe to bring me exactly what I need to do that. This way of looking at life hasn’t worked too bad for me so far.

So, my dear beloved customers, I would very much like to know in the comments what you intend to write in your 11/11 intentions and wishes list?

Lots of love,

Geay
