New Beginnings 🍃
Every ending makes room for a wonderful new beginning. Always. ~ Whimsy Wonderings (9/9)
Hello lovelies,
The last whimsy musing in this series has arrived!
When I set out to share these musings that I wrote towards the end of 2020, I thought I’d post them fairly quickly as I wanted to have a body of work on here as fast as I could. However, every single one got posted in alignment with where I was in my journey ever since I came back to Substack. Whether it was an actual tangible event, like finishing my website or a river of feelings I was sailing, the words synced up and I could tuck them as a reminder in my heart again.
With my birthday arriving in a few days, ending this series with a wish for new beginnings couldn’t be more fitting. I’ve been feeling the call to make some tweaks on Substack and hone more into what I truly feel called to share on here. And I’m excited to step into my next little chapter on here!
For now, I hope the words add an undercurrent of uplifting and magical energy into your world. Thank you for being here, lovelies!
Much love and till next musing!

Hello, lovely reader! I’m TJ, an artist and storyteller and on here, you will find gentle reflections & musings on life, self love, healing and the magic of mundane wonders. Aka the stories that I collected as I pivoted my life around by choosing to follow my creative dreams. Make yourself cozy, have a read and I hope you the words will bring a dash of wonder and magic into your day.
Note to self:
Every ending makes room for a wonderful new beginning. Always.

Are you ready? A chapter has closed and as you’re standing on the threshold leading to a new one, you feel wisps of hope move wildly through your heart and soul. Feel the magic of a new beginning embrace you like a warm hug.
Remember, your life is a beautiful journey. A story that is being written as you’re living it and everything is an experience. You can always choose how you respond to all that unfolds in your life. So promise yourself to pay attention. Pay attention to what isn’t serving you. Notice what you want to stay. Remind yourself that, whatever happened in your previous chapter, it all prepared you to bring more beauty into your next one.
Every day is a new chance to step towards your heart’s desires. Trust yourself enough to let go and give yourself permission to shift when something isn’t working. Choose to start again whenever you need to and allow the seeds you’ve planted to sprout root and break through the surface. Choose to breathe in more calm instead of chaos and move forward through inspired actions instead of fear.
You’re always worthy of new beginnings, my love. Dance with your inner child and tap into the magic that's always simmering inside of you. Whenever adventure knocks on your door, step bravely over the threshold. Breathe in deeply and do it for you. Continue to write your beautiful story, one step at a time.💕
If you made it to the end, I’m so grateful to have you here! I hope you loved reading and staring at all the things, lovely! If you got some value out of the words and you’d love to support me, I’d SO appreciate it if you could heart & share the words with your wonderful world. And, if it’s aligned, I’d love to welcome you as a subscriber as well! Thank you so much for reading and spending some time with me. ♥
