hey, sunbutter cup. so, they say when you turn 50 you start to give less of a fuck just shy of T- 2 months for me, and iām over here kinda struck by how itās already happening while on one hand, age + timelines can be admittedly kind of arbitraryā¦ on the other, iām totally feeling on the full-body brink of some big transition a quiet strength has seeded within, a gentle yet undeniable unshakeability grown at my core a system-wide evolved embodiment that feels at once leaner + more full and...

hey, raspberry rose soda. weāve all got intuition, but we donāt all feel like we have easy access to it weāve been programmed in a bajillion different ways to discredit the deep (and FREE, btw) wisdom within, so more important than anything else is for you to GO EASY on yourself with it rather than make yourself wrong for not knowing where to start or how to hear that precious insight, give yourself grace + start here: ask yourself what you LIKE to do, and/or what you WANT to do this might...

fuck snowstorms, bloom. when youāre already hanging on by some kinda thread, thereās nothing like a continuous 24-hour heavy snowfall with accumulations of 18+ inches to make you fall to your proverbial knees (or scream obscenities through tears on the way to fill up your gas tank) when your finances for the rest of the month are planned + plotted to the penny, canceled work gigs HURT or maybe your heart is too too tender lately, and being snowed in echoes the absence of someone you miss or...

hey, garlic knot. i know we love our checklists, and crossing items off them and you know iām all about making sure that whatās ON them in the first place makes best sense for YOU ā which means that youāve probably already eliminated most of the unnecessary tasks on your list that reflect other peopleās goals, wishes + intentions more than your own (way to go! or, if this is something you struggle with ā give a shout to talk through how i can help) but now that your lists are filled with the...

hey, pickled pepper. meet āem where theyāre at ā itās a tenderhearted battle cry for folks here to lead, educate, and love well itās the opposite of expecting everyone to be where you are or where you want them to be ā in how they relate to you, what you believe, and what you need itās a hallmark of compassion, empathy, understanding + love i bet youāre all about meeting everyone else where theyāre atā¦ but answer me this: whoās meeting YOU there? and perhaps even more importantly: are you...

hey, baked bean. unless youāre a car or a spine, āalignmentā might seem more woo than worthwhile to pursue that would be a mistake though. alignment is the tough-to-nail-down but utterly indispensable foundation for all the big work weāre here to do in this world when your values, beliefs + actions are aligned, decisions become so much easier to make. you have less to question + even less to prove and when those things are misaligned? people can feel it ā even if they canāt name it (NB:...

hey, snowrose. you know the saying ā how you do anything is how you do everything? well, iām not a fan. not really because the way i clean my house is not at all the way i write these messages to you, for example the one i do begrudgingly + a bit halfassedly. the other i absorb myself in so completely that i need to set alarms so i donāt accidentally blow off plans and if i put my all into cleaning the house the same way i do to write these messages, and if i do that for all the other tasks i...
