Navigate to your best life
We can talk all day about how much we hold self esteem, but only when we take actions that display self-worth does it really solidify as actual value.
It’s natural that the associated guilt coming up for me was deeply discombobulating. That’s going to happen every time I practice this type of self-care until it becomes normalized in my system.
My friend pointed out that baseball players during practice will have balls thrown at them on purpose. This helps them get less scared of getting hit by the ball.
We have to get in the line of the ball to get hit with a discomfort of choosing what we know is right for us enough times until we’re not scared of it anymore.
It took me a long time to love my body.
We all know the reasons for this. Society has weird standards that our parents and friends sadly buy into.
Even if we do fit the “ideals”, most of us experience an aversion to the design of our corporeal earth suit in some way.
Today, I want to celebrate your shape and mine, and share some of the ways that I embraced my own short and bootyful bounty.
I value your attention and am grateful to each of you who read these newsletters. I try to put thought and care into each of them to show my own regard for your presence here.
In this fascinating era we are existing in, our focus is being pulled so many directions. It’s a challenge to lead a simple life. Even as I write this email, distractions pull me sideways.
Today, my wish is to inspire us all to simply engage more fully with our attention setting.
Sometimes I run around doing a million tasks, few of which serve my highest purpose.
How we spend our time reflects what we place value on.
This can be seasonal.
In the summer, my values for community and nature are going to stampede my higher purpose of writing my book, which fits under my values of education and legacy.
Today, sit with the list of values below . . .
This Mercury Retrograde in Virgo is a great time to bring order into your life and your closets that are feeling unkempt.
I have tested countless apps for to-do lists and these are the ones I have found the most helpful.
I would love to help you organize your experience of managing your life in another way when you sign up for a tarot reading today.
I don’t know about you, but I sure am having a lot of relevant breakthrough conversations this week.
In our monthly theme of Venus Retrograde, it seems that conflicts of old are coming to the surface all around.
Luckily, I have spent lots of dollars couple’s therapy sessions which have offered me key strategies to engage in uncomfortable topics with people I care about.
Since Venus Retrograde began, we’ve looked at Dating and Family.
Today, I want to talk about Community.
How do we create more connection between us?
How do we turn acquaintances into close friends?
How do we become comfortable with the uncomfortable that this can involve?
I have spent the last few days with my folks.
As always, my experience brings to mind a quote from Ram Dass:
“If you think you are enlightened, try spending a week with your family.”
It’s funny how hard it is to be your highest self around those closest to you, but my parents and I are all doing well enough this round.
It’s a unique challenge to be related to others.
This week, Venus goes retrograde until September 3rd.
While this might throw off our usual desires, both creative and inter-relational, it also will give us fresh perspective on who and what we truly want now that is different from before.
I have been actively dating for about a year since my 10 year relationship ended at the very start of 2022. It’s like a strange part-time job.
My current approach is different than the norm, and is a good angle to take for this Venus retrograde.
