Your golden ticket to the ride of your life.

Why desire is your divine GPS.

This morning in meditation, I asked GUS the question I always ask when I’m feeling uncertain:

“Am I doing it right?”

Am I creating the right art? Am I building the right life? Am I being who I’m meant to be?

And, as always, I heard the familiar whisper from GUS.

You see, I have this love affair with GUS= God / Universe / Source.

That’s what I call the mysterious, loving, organizing force I co-create with. I don’t pretend to know exactly what GUS is—I just know it speaks to me. It moves through me. It’s the presence I trust when my mind spins and my soul steadies. And though I may not fully understand it, I create with it anyway.

And when I asked the question, GUS answered the way it always does:

“What do you want?”

Every time. Every damn time. That’s the answer. Because that’s the key.

Desire.

My desires are not distractions. They are signposts. They are not selfish. They are sacred.

So I told the truth. I want experiences. I want abundance. I want color, texture, beauty, love, joy, connection. I want magic—in heaping, audacious amounts. I want a life that feels rich—in glorious technicolor, like a hundred fragrant flowers blooming inside my heart.

I want a magic carpet ride.

Not someday. Not if I work hard enough, or wait long enough, or get picked.

Now.

Because I’m here to be lifted by life—not because someone handed me a ticket, but because I remembered I already have one.

I once heard Carolyn Myss say that the devil is our own darkness. It dims our light by whispering lies: You can’t do that thing you long to do. You can’t have that thing you ache to have. You’re not worthy. You’re too much. You’re not enough.

And that’s how my own darkness can show up— when I abandon my feelings and desires for the sake of someone else’s comfort. When I hand over the keys to my life and wait for someone else to drive.

But what GUS always reminds me is this: “You are Mine first.”

Before any relationship. Before any title, role, or love story.

You belong to Me.

The One who dreamt you into being.

The One who sculpted you from stardust and longing.

The One who placed those desires in your body as sacred coordinates on the map of your life.

The One who delights in your delight.

And I felt the invitation. Not to detach from love…but to return to the Source of my aliveness. To remember that the magic carpet ride I ache for?

It begins with Me + GUS.

When I exalt the divine intention for my life and trust the creative power of my desire, I climb aboard that wild, gorgeous, soul-led ride. Desire is the thread I hold. It’s the compass, the fuel, the unfolding map.

And yes—there is still a part of me that delights in being taken on that ride by the earthy masculine. That longs to be cherished, chosen, invited into wonder. And I honor that. Because when a man offers me a ride into beauty, adventure, and love—I receive it with a full heart.

But I no longer believe I have to wait for it.

Because I am not a passenger in my own life. I am the woman who dares to want what she wants. And when I name it, claim it, and live it—I magnetize provision, magic, and miracles.

Not from striving. Not from control. But from the magically creative energy of devotion and desire.

This is the graduation from child-Maiden to Mother. Not the mother who over-gives and forgets herself—but the mother who births her own life. The creatrix. The one who knows she was born to delight, and born to create her delight.

This post is for the woman who’s waiting to be chosen. Waiting to be taken. Waiting to be delighted.

You are already chosen- you are GUS’s first. And your magic carpet awaits.

So ask yourself today—not what’s right, what’s safe, what will make others comfortable-

But what do you want?

And then…let your desire lift you. Let it carry you. Let it become your golden ticket for the ride of your life.
