Saturday AM Thoughts: Matriarchy Edition

blog

I saw this post on Instagram about how the matriarchy is rising, and that some men will be scared of this. Within that post was a reference to how some men think that when women talk about the matriarchy, that they think women want to “rule over men.” This is not the case.

I honestly believe that thought is rooted both in ignorance, and fear. Ignorance makes sense, because none of us have been alive to see the matriarchy rise; we’re all used to this current system, which we can very blatantly see does not protect women or children. The fear, I think, comes from recognizing that almost every woman they know has been harassed or abused by a man in sometime in their life, so some men probably assume women want to seek revenge on men.

That fear is not completely wrong to have, as I’m sure there are tons of women who would love to bring back the witch trials and reverse the roles. I’m not going to lie, if there is evidence of people doing satanic rituals that include raping and eating children, I don’t see why the death penalty wouldn’t at least be on the table. However, most of us know on a soul level that it will not help to continue to burn people, but the constant covering up and protection of these horrific crimes against humanity can no longer continue- this is where the matriarchy comes in.

When I think of the matriarchy, there is no “ruling over” anyone- it’s all about community.
Think back to the caveman days: the women were always in community with each other and the children, while men would go and hunt and gather. Women focused on keeping each other and the children safe, and the men used their skills to bring food and supplies back to their families. This is a balance. The matriarchy needs men as well, and it is in our roots to help one another and work as a team. The matriarchy is about protecting children, recognizing how important it is to raise caring, empathetic humans for this world.

The matriarchy rising is not supposed to be a war between men and women, it’s the reuniting. It’s recognizing that we are meant to be a team. It’s holding each other accountable and taking responsibility for our actions. We as humans are meant to protect, help, and love one another, while also protecting and raising the generations to come. The matriarchy is not rooted in power, it’s rooted in love.

Protected and Blessed

4:44 is the angel number that symbolizes protection. when we were planning our wedding, we never anticipated that a hurricane would form and hit Florida a few days prior to our arrival. we were incredibly lucky that hurricane Helene did not touch Pensacola Beach, and our wedding went on as planned. 🤍

after we spent time in Pensacola, we headed over to Orlando to enjoy our Harry Potter package we bought and we had the best time riding all the rides, buying Harry Potter gear, and just enjoying each others company as a husband and wife. a couple days after we arrived, we got word that hurricane Milton was now forming and also heading toward Florida. this caused initial panic considering we are not trying to be in the middle of this storm, but at the same time, I couldn’t help but thank the universe.

I say that because when we had originally planned this trip in April, we had booked to stay in Orlando until October 11. A few weeks after we booked it, we changed our minds and decided to cut off a couple days and rescheduled to come home today. I can’t help but feel like the divine stepped in with this plan, because the Orlando airport is shutting down tomorrow in anticipation of hurricane Milton, which means we would have been stuck in FL.

I have been on a healing journey for a while now, but within this last year I have been more dedicated to my faith in angels/source/the universe- and I can’t help but feel so blessed and protected by the divine. I always struggled with faith and letting go of control, but I have learned so much over this year, and truly in these past few weeks, that has only increased my faith in a higher power.

I feel incredibly blessed and lucky that my husband and I have landed safely back in our home town, and I feel so grateful for whatever is above that is watching over us. Thank you, thank you, thank you. 🤍✨

I’ve been seeing 111 a lot over the last couple weeks. In angel numbers this can symbolize both new beginnings and also trusting one’s intuition. I’m leaning into this energy and trusting that all is well and good things are happening for me. I’m so grateful for these signs and for the support I have from my loved ones on the other side. 🤍✨

Moment of Gratitude

As I type this post, I am standing at the kitchen island typing on my laptop while sun beams in through all of the windows in the living room. One cat is basking in the sun rays, stretched out on the wood floor, while the other is entertaining herself with an empty amazon box. My fiancé is asleep in our bedroom, and our third cat is likely laying on the bed with him. I have my air pods in, listening to R&B now radio on apple music, and I am just soaking in the present moment, and thinking about the day ahead.

In less than an hour, I am meeting up with a friend to go on a walk here in town! We planned this a few weeks ago and I am so glad we have great weather for our walk! Then later my fiancé and I are headed to his parents for our monthly family dinner! We also had a game night last night at our friend’s place which was really fun, and it is just a weekend full of connection and good energy. This month my calendar is filling up, but it is all with seeing good friends and family, and I am just so grateful for this chapter in my life.

Wedding and honeymoon planning is just about done, and we are just finishing up planning for our joint bach party where we are going to celebrate with all of our friends with go-karting and food/drinks back at the house. I am just happy to be present here in my body to actually be able to enjoy all of these blessings around me. I am also grateful to my angels and guides who are protecting us and keeping only pure, supportive energy around us. I know that I can trust in the divine timing of everything in my life, and I can trust that all is exactly how it should be.

I am so thankful for this life. I feel lucky every single day knowing I have true love; the love I always needed in my life. I have a partner who is respectful and cares deeply about me, even after seeing me during my worst moments. The way he loves me and makes me feel so safe and free, I truly don’t know how I got so blessed, but I am forever grateful for him and our relationship. This is the year that we say our “I do’s,” but it was when we told each other “I love you” at the young age of 16 that we knew were going to love each other forever.
