My Pink Roadmap

I just got off the phone getting an astrology reading done. It was actually my first time doing this. I am very into the "woo-woo" and love learning things about myself through external sources. When I approached the reading, I didn't expect it to be anything truly profound. But here I sit in awe of what I read. I believe I have mentioned it before, but why do we need to have confirmation from an external source to know that we are incredible beings?

I know with every once of my spirit that every single person I know, have spoke to, have loved from afar, have connected with in one way or another is here on this Earth for something incredible. Something profound. Something gut wrenching and unbelievable. The trick is that the choice to take action on your greatness lies in YOUR hands and no one else's.

It does not matter if you are a stay at home mom, carpenter, hair dresser, lovemuffin extraordinaire, someones daughter, neighbor, lover or friend. In each moment of each day you have the option to live from your heart and be the best you possible.

I am writing this because Stevi called me out (which to be honest is how I have been living my life.) Making commitments and not holding to them unless someone calls me out on them.

Take my health for instance; I know that it is in the condition it is in because no one calls me out on it. I told Ashleigh I would go to Zumba this morning. I didn't show up at her house, she didn't call, I didn't go; because no one called me out. Where do I get off putting my responsibilities on other people? Given there are some areas of my life I take full control over. But the ones I let slip are detrimental to the ones I stay committed to.

At this point in the Magical Eyes Tour I am walking through the fog. I am trusting my instincts and guidance from The Universe to lead me where I need to go. I can't see what is in front of me, but I know that it is magic waiting to explode with millions of pieces of glitter and sparkles for us all to dance in.

I wrote this because I wanted you to know that I love you. I see your light, it was keeps me going through out my day, to know that there are people out there like you in a world like this. Take my hand, take responsibility for what you want and lets go for it! I would love it if you would leave a comment letting me know what you are taking charge of in this moment.

Ashliegh, thanks for inspiring me to take charge of my health. Stevi- as always, thanks for calling me out.

With Tears in My Eyes,
Megan Monique

Next stop on the Magical Eyes Tour; BlogHer Conference in NEW YORK CITY!

It has been sometime now since I have written content about The Magical Eyes Tour. I have been back in Texas after leaving California for a little over a month now. Since being back I have had 2 Pink Posse Events and led the first ever Pink Salon, all of which have been wonderful.

However, the reason for my lack of content is not that I have been consumed by busyness. The truth is that I feel lost. For the past several years I have been rapidly growing, expanding and learning. Evolving into the women I am today and all of this was done with great certainty of what I was heading towards. But now, I don’t know what that is. It feels more like there is a missing puzzle piece floating around in time and space that I have yet to get my hands on.

During this time, I have been patient with myself, allowing the midst to settle in its own time. Taking lessons as they come and not demanding they show themselves instantly. “When I am ready they will appear,” I tell myself.

Well, dammit, I am tired of waiting! I can feel the creativity bubbling in my blood waiting to be expressed in one way or another. My insides are screaming, DEMANDING, originality, thought provoking art, conversation and imagery. More importantly, a definition of me that is tangible. The kind of certainty, that when I walk in to the room and strike up a conversation, it is written all over me, THIS is who I am.

Not words, not ideas, not clothes, colors or hair styles, but the ability to create a career, a service to offer others that fits me like a finely tailored suit. A service that no other would be able to offer the way that I do.

As I was reading Lissa’s post, I began to realize that I was regularly using my magical eyes on those around me but had somehow forgotten to use them on myself.

When I look at myself with Magical Eyes (which is harder then I expected,) I see a woman who longs to share herself with others in a vibrant, colorful way; a way that leaves others blown away in their seats. I see a woman who longs to create comfort and a home of love for herself and everyone around her. I see someone who wants to give, find balance and above all else share her love with the world.

When I take on that perception of myself, I am patient and kind. I can literally feel my heart soften and open up just a little bit more. And though the solution to my feeling of lost isn’t completely resolved, I know that when I use Magical Eyes on me, there is nothing but love and acceptance present.

(Shortly after writing this post I found a blog post from Stacey Curnow that had this quote that has stuck with my since reading it. It has given me GREAT peace.)

"Let go of the idea that the path will lead you to your goal. The truth is that with each step we take, we arrive. Repeat that to yourself every morning: ‘I’ve arrived.’ That way you’ll find it much easier to stay in touch with each second of your day. . -Paulo Coelho"
