When Intuition Speaks, Listen

BySheryl Artigas

Today’s reflection is about SPIRITUALITY:

What does your intuition sound like, and how do you know when it’s speaking?

For me, it’s that pit in your stomach when you know you’re in the wrong place, or that quiet voice in the back of your head telling you not to do something.

I’ve had intuition manifest in many different ways throughout my life, and I know firsthand what it’s like when you ignore it.

Sometimes intuition doesn’t make sense in the moment, but later you realize it was trying to protect or guide you all along. The more I’ve learned to trust it, the more aligned and aware I’ve become.

Intuition may speak softly, but it will always try to guide you.

  • Why We Hold On to What Hurts Us  

    ByAmey

    Do you ever catch yourself reflecting on the habits and behaviors you keep repeating, even though you know they’re not good for you? The foods we indulge in, the relationships we cling to, the patterns we cycle through again and again — all of them fall into this quiet, uncomfortable truth:

    We often don’t let go of what harms us, not because we’re unaware, but because the familiar feels safer than the unknown.

    Even when the familiar is slowly breaking us.

    Sometimes the very things that wound us become woven into our sense of identity. We start to believe:

    “This is just who I am.”
    “This is how it’s always been.”
    “This is the kind of love I know.”

    Our bodies get tied to the chemistry of it.
    Our hearts get attached to the potential of it.
    And our minds bargain with the future, whispering, “Maybe this time will be different.”

    Letting go isn’t just a choice — it’s a grieving.
    It’s mourning the version of life we hoped would exist.
    It’s releasing the comfort of old patterns, even when they no longer serve us.

    That’s why real healing doesn’t come from force.
    It doesn’t come from shaming yourself or pushing harder.

    Healing comes from compassion.
    From patience.
    From choosing yourself — again and again — even when choosing yourself feels unfamiliar.

    Because freedom isn’t always loud or dramatic.
    Sometimes it begins quietly… with a single decision to stop abandoning yourself.

  • In All Things, Remember Who You Are

    BySheryl Artigas

    Life has a funny way of pulling us in a million different directions, filling our heads with doubts, expectations, and comparisons. In all that noise, it’s so easy to lose sight of who you really are—your values, your strengths, your purpose.

    Remembering your true self means staying rooted in your own truth. It’s about honoring your journey, trusting your gut, and holding on tight to what makes you, well, you. Challenges might try to rattle you, but when you know your worth, no storm can knock you off your path.

    In everything you do—big or small—carry your essence with you. Speak your truth, act with integrity, and move forward with confidence. When you keep your identity in mind, every decision becomes clearer, every path feels more aligned, and each day is a chance to live authentically.

    Never lose sight of who you are. You are your own guiding star.

  • Entering the New Year with Trust, Not Pressure

    ByAmey

    As I step into this new year, I’m doing so with fewer expectations and a deeper sense of trust.

    Trust in timing—especially the kind that doesn’t follow my plans or deadlines.
    Trust in my own resilience, shaped quietly through moments that didn’t look like progress at the time.
    And trust that what’s meant for me will meet me where I am, not where I’m performing, proving, or striving to be.

    This past year reminded me that becoming isn’t something that happens all at once. It unfolds slowly, often invisibly. Growth happens in pauses, in uncertainty, and in the space between who we were and who we’re learning to be.

    I’ve learned that not everything needs to be rushed or forced into clarity. Some things are meant to arrive when we’re ready to receive them—not when we demand answers.

    So this year, I’m choosing presence over pressure. Alignment over expectation. Trust over control.

    Becoming takes time.
    And that is more than okay—it’s necessary.

  • A Change in View

    ByAmey

    Every direction I turned tonight revealed a different view of the spectacular sky. With each turn, something new appeared—colors shifting, light changing, beauty unfolding in ways I hadn’t noticed moments before. Every angle offered a fresh perspective.

    I’ve always loved seeing things from different vantage points. Different views. Different interpretations. Different ways of understanding the same moment. Standing there, watching the sky transform, it reminded me of life itself—and of the deep appreciation I hold for people who see the world differently than I do.

    Can you imagine how boring life would be if we all looked the same, shared the same opinions, or thought in identical ways?

    Our differences are not something to tolerate; they are something to celebrate. They add depth, texture, and meaning to our shared experience.

    As you look at the beauty in these images, let them be a reminder to look for that same beauty in others—to honor their perspectives, their uniqueness, and the way they view the world through their own lens.

  • Showing Up as Your True Self

    BySheryl Artigas

    Leadership is often misunderstood as having all the answers, always knowing what to say, and never making mistakes. But real leadership looks different. It’s not about perfection—it’s about presence.

    True leadership is the courage to show up as you are. It’s being authentic, even when you feel uncertain. It’s choosing growth over comfort and showing up each day with the intention to be better than yesterday.

    You don’t need to have everything figured out to lead. What matters most is your willingness to be real, to keep learning, and to move forward with honesty and purpose.

  • Authenticity: The Power of Self-Trust

    ByAmey

    Life has a funny way of putting us to the test. And when it did, the inner strength that kept me moving forward wasn’t just confidence or certainty—it was self-trust.

    There were times when I had no clue how things would turn out, when the road ahead felt strange and the ground beneath me seemed to shift. What kept me going wasn’t the absence of fear, but a quiet belief that I would find my way—and that God would always be by my side.

    Even if I stumbled, I made a promise to myself: I wouldn’t abandon myself. I learned to tune in to my own feelings instead of looking outward for permission or reassurance.

    That strength showed up as resilience, sure—but also as compassion. I allowed myself to take things slow. I let grief and hope exist side by side. I kept choosing the next right step instead of demanding to see the whole journey.

    Self-trust meant believing I could adapt, learn, and grow—even when everything seemed to fall apart. It meant listening to my intuition when logic ran dry. It meant staying open, not hardening myself against what I’d been through.

    Life tested me, and what I found was this:
    I don’t need to be fearless to move forward.
    I just need to trust that God will guide me through whatever comes next.
