Crossing the Threshold

December 28, 2025 to January 3, 2026

Well, this past week spanned a threshold, which meant crossing from one timeline into another.  With it came some potent messages involving a cat, a fishhook, and sleepwalking.  Let’s just say, it allowed me to let go of things I’ve been trying to for years and it was a powerful message to commit to what and who is supporting me, loving me, and allowing me to truly be who I am, with no strings (or fishhooks) attached.  The details of the story I will leave for another time as I’m still processing the multilayered meanings behind it and feeling the energy release. 

Last year was definitely a growth year for me.  I learned new skills, made new friends, started a business, and let go of so many fears and old patterns and limiting beliefs.  I moved slowly, gave myself grace, trusted the timing of my life and learned to trust that the universe really does have my back and speaks to me in beautifully cryptic, funny, simple, and complexly layered ways.  I have learned to love myself more, incorporate parts of me that I kept hidden for so long, and embody the person I want to become.  I learned so much and I know in my heart that I am finally on the right path.  I feel so much more myself, so at peace with who I am, and empowered to take on life in a way that I never have before. 

Despite things being chaotic in the world, I have a deep inner knowing that it is all getting better.  I’m creating my own reality.  I’m creating the world I wished I could have had while growing up.  This isn’t to say that my world growing up was bad, it was just different from that in which I would have flourished.  I’m bringing the unicorn, the rainbow, the fantasy dream that felt too far fetched into reality and it feels amazing and aligned.  I stopped believing the lies I’d been told for years, and I chose to believe what felt true to me.  I followed that truth and it opened up doors that I didn’t know existed.  I hope to continue finding more magical doors to open and my wish is to help others do the same.  May this new year bring clarity, compassion, truth, growth, boldness, prosperity, health, and connection. 

The messages I received this week were only a few as more potent messages were shown in actual events.  They were as follows: doves, observer, manipulation, and not showering. A recurring theme that showed up was archetypes.

Doves – This message showed up in two different tv shows and in a comedy sketch.  The first tv show mentioned pursuing a perpetrator in a barn and a prediction of a slow flying dove, which happened when the chase ensued.  The other tv show featured homing pigeons (a type of dove) and their ability to navigate back to their owners using the Earth’s magnetic field and receptors in their eyes and beaks.  The comedy bit talked about how doves were being released at funerals and some of them did not fly away, but bounced or dropped because they were dead.  Doves usually represent peace and I guess in the homing pigeon’s case, communication.  My interpretation of this message is that I should be protecting my peace, communicating when it is at risk of being stolen, and coming back home to those I belong with.

Observer – This message showed up in a tv show and in a card reading.  The tv show featured a character who was repeatedly seen at significant events who did not get involved, but simply observed what was going on.  The card reading message was to observe and not absorb.  This message seems strong and clear to me to do just that.  Observe the situation, but don’t let myself get drawn in to the chaos and drama of it.  Remain detached, but aware. 

Manipulation – This message showed up in a tv show and in real life.  The tv show portrayed a prisoner and an FBI agent negotiating a trade of information.  As they waited for the information to come through, the prisoner suggested to the agent the possibility of them both being manipulated by a third party.  This message came through at a time when I knew my partner and I were being manipulated.  The message again is very clear in this one and it is to watch out for, recognize, and remove myself from manipulative situations.

Not showering – This message showed up in a tv show and in real life.  The tv show depicted a scene between two friends and one commented jokingly about his lack of showering.  The real life comment was a repeated joke from a family member about not needing to shower.  I think this message is more about space and energy clearing and cleaning than physical hygiene.  I think it has to do with making sure I practice spiritual protection to ensure my energy field is clean and clear, to not let in negative energy, and to have practices in place to maintain my spiritual hygiene.

Maybe because it is a new year and I feel very connected to the divine right now, but these messages feel like they showed up with fresh clarity.  Simply put, I think I need to protect my peace, observe instead of absorbing, avoid manipulation, and practice regular spiritual and energetic hygiene. 

If I add in the other potent messages I received of a cat, a fishhook, and sleepwalking, I arrive at an even deeper spiritual meaning.  Like cats, share your love with those who deserve it and maintain your boundaries.  Don’t let anyone catch you with their alluring fishhooks and use manipulation to achieve their agenda because you’ll be caught sleepwalking through life.  Wake up and do some spiritual hygiene to cleanse yourself of the negative energies surrounding you. Protect the peace you’ve cultivated in your home at all costs.

I am not going to ask AI for it's perspective this week. I think I've uncovered what I needed to by myself.

I have been trying to wrap up some old creations, while at the same time creating new ones.  Probably, this is in homage to the end of a 9 year, the shedding of the snake skin, and getting rid of the old to make way for the new.  However, I seem to have run out of time as some of these potent life messages I received took up more time, space, and energy than they should have.  This, in itself, feels like a message: get rid of things that take your energy, peace, and time to make room for the new things that light you up and feed your soul.  Since I didn’t complete any creations this week, I cannot post a finished product picture, but I can do a close up on one.  I had a realization that most of my creations I’ve made in the past few years (of which many I have not posted here yet) have been fairly muted.  Like myself, I made them quieter, softer, more subtle or pleasing to the eye.  This year, as I’m committing to myself and allowing the true me to shine brightly, I thought I’d start off with some bold and bright colours.  So, here’s a closeup of my yet unfinished bright, bold, and beautiful new creation.
