I have been watching and talking about these energy arcs for over a decade now, but I haven’t really laid it out clearly. Again, this is just a pattern I see and have been watching and you can take it as you will. I have thought I understood the pattern before, only to have my perspective change, so who knows if this current perspective is correct. It is just a helpful way for me to view the energy flow and not see everything as a flaming dumpster fire. So if it resonates, brings you some peace, or helps you frame your own path, then great! If it stresses you out or doesn’t make sense, just let it go and move on.

So this all really started with 1999/2000. This is when people started settling or hitting rock bottom. I feel like this was the end of the era of the old ideas about the American dream. It was a lot of people’s last hoorah at trying to fit into society, trying to attain the common successes—get married, go to college, have kids, and/or buy a house. I know some of you reading this were kids or being born then, but it’s not just nostalgia that makes you think it was different then—it really was different.

From this point, each arc is about a 6-year stint. It’s important look at both your personal events but also global events happening at the time because this isn’t just about personal path arcs but society as a whole. We had 9/11 and the last time our country (the USA) rallied around a president and war (not all of us but still a majority). It was the rise of the internet. In that short time frame, Facebook, Reddit, Roblox, Spotify, Space X, and Twitter were all founded and launched. The Euro started circulation. Guiramas oil spill happened. The Mexican drug war started. What do all of these have in common? They are all the result of the two decades prior. They are the result of policies, politics, and business structure of the 80s and 90s and even before. Again I say, the last hoorah for capitalism, nationalism, and the American dream. Think back to this time and what you were trying to make work that wasn’t working.

The next 6-year span from 2006 to 2012 is the awakening. This was the time of realizing these stories and myths we were told were actually false. Corruption was being brought to the surface at a new level. The ability to connect and share information online was part of this. We had civil wars, rebellions, and huge protests filling this time, from the Occupy movement in the US to rebellions and protests in Syria to Nigeria to Europe. There isn’t a continent that wasn’t touched by this rising up energy. In the middle of this, we had the Great Recession that spurred financial issues we are still dealing with today. All around the globe, people were questioning the status quo and realizing what they had been accepting that was no longer acceptable. Think back to this time and what epiphanies you had that set you free.

2012–2018 was the breakdown. This was when people started bringing to the surface what was wrong in our society and the old paradigms that had been running it. No longer just seeing it but actively making changes, speaking up, and shining a light on corruption and injustice. It’s the beginning of the power struggle that we have been watching of wanting to keep it the old way and trying to change and improve into something “better.” We saw the rise of a new pope and a change in the Catholic church. Edward Snowden leaked NSA files. China ended its one child policy. The Eurasion economic Union was created. Saudi Arabia allowed women to drive. The Me Too movement started. As you can see, great shifts started happening that people couldn’t deny anymore. Think back to that time and what power shifted in your life.

2018–2024, or our current energy arc, has been the dismantling/planning arc. I feel like this is the sorting through the chaos to make sense of it all arc. In the previous arc, we were trying to get those in power to do the right thing or make the change or hear us. Then the universe sat us down on time out in the form of a pandemic and said, think about things. We started taking the power back into our own hands. This isn’t always done gracefully. Look at the BLM riots or the Jan 6th riot on the capital or the riots in Paris or the riots in Hong Kong or Bolivia or Venezuela. It also involved quiet quitting, workers demanding better treatment and more pay. People had time to reflect and decided that they weren’t going to accept the old way anymore. So we feel ungrounded and like everything is chaos because it kind of is. It isn’t till 2024–2030 that things start clicking into place. Change will start happening with greater ease.

Have you ever had a full storage closet that you decided to clear out? So, 2000–2006 was when you tried to fit one more thing in that closet and it just wouldn’t hold anything else. 2006–2012 was when you tried to find something in that closet and it was impossible, and you realized you had to clean it out. 2012–2018 was when you started pulling all the things out and looking at all you had forgotten was in there. 2018–2024 is making the piles and sorting through what you are going to keep and give away. You might even start to put some things back in. 2024–2030 is when you finish organizing. Everything gets labeled, boxed, and put in the right place. This will be the foundation for what gets brought into our society for the next few arcs.

We won’t be in this chaos forever, but it was very needed for our society and Humanity as a whole. Remember, you came here to be here for this time. Your soul chose to be a part of this. You are needed for this time. We collectively must go through this process to help the evolution of mass consciousness and the movement of society. So I know it can feel overwhelming, disheartening, and you can feel defeated at times. I hope you can keep finding the faith to move forward and get that closet organized.

I recently saw a meme that said something like: Self-care is not chocolates and bubble baths, it's making a life you don't want to escape. While I get the sentiment, and sort of agree, what I really believe is that it is both! Yes, self-care is having the hard conversations, setting boundaries, facing your fears, and doing that hard deep inner work. It is taking the risks and setting a life you love and that lets you fully express your authentic self. BUT, no matter how great your relationship, kids, job, town you live in and other parts of your life are, you will still want a break. You might just get joy from chocolates and bubble baths, and that's self-care too. Doing things that are joyful and fun just for the sake of being joyful and fun is also self-care.

This actually helped me find the missing piece I needed to restructure my business for 2021. I want to be able to offer you all the ways I know to “Find Your Sparkle”! This could be information from the Fairies, one of the books I have written, pampering products, crystals, helping you starting your own business, sparkly nails, or a great meditation video. I am a many-layered person. These are all the ways I do self-care and keep my life sparkling. It is all the ways I find magic in my day to day.

I think too often those in the “new age” or “self-help” community try to be too serious. I understand why. They are afraid they won't be taken seriously. We have been so bombarded by society that, to be an adult and be taken seriously, we have to be serious and restrained. It's something I have always struggled with. Since I am a punk, a geek, a Disnerd, and have always rebelled against what is conventional, I didn't know how to be authentic and present myself professionally. What I have learned is that I just have to be me. No one cares about all the things I worried they would, and if they did, they weren't my audience. I needed to be me so my “Pixies” could find me. That's what I call all my friends, clients, and social media followers. You are my Pixies.

So, over the first few months here, I am going to be rolling out new additions to my website, new products and services, and a bunch of free offerings! Get ready, Pixies. It's going to be even easier to Find Your Sparkle!
