Let's navigate together
through personal stagnation
to creative liberation with
words, wisdom, wit, music & art.
Might not make it easier
but it'll be less lonelier
and, at at best, funnier.
Pinned
RELAX, LOVE.

You spent decades trying to take advantage of opportunities, following every little nudge and chasing possibilities
from your career to your love life.
Now that you finally feel safe and at home in your own body & soul,
enough no matter what happens
and loved for who you really are...👇
Pausing posting here on Bluesky for now...

SOMETIMES, SOME DAYS...

...are just for getting through. Then we reset and start again. Start better and stronger when we can too.

Let's make a better week for ourselves & others, friends. 🍵🗓️🙌

WHAT IF WE RECHARGED OURSELVES...?!

Great to ask and answer this question of ourselves regularly. #notetoself #reminder #rest #recharge #now

You not having a "positive" attitude all the time is not a "failure" or a "character flaw." You're a human who has a right to your authentic feelings & reactions. That doesn't change when those feelings or reactions are not comfortable or pleasing to those around you.

WHO'S YOUR NUMBER ONE?

This is an invitation & challenge for us all to START PUTTING OUR NEEDS, JOYS & GROWTH FIRST, TRUSTING THAT THE ATTENTION, LOVE & CARE WE POUR INTO OURSELVES WILL ALWAYS FIND WAYS TO FLOW OUT TO OTHERS (it's kinda hard for these NOT to)...

...SO, do you accept?

TAKE A MINDFUL PAUSE

When you need to pause,
go do it. The world can wait;
your peace and health can't.

WHEN THE WORLD IS JUST TOO MUCH,
we need to give ourselves and each other a break.
We need to be a little more gentle
with ourselves and each other.
We need to be a real friend
to ourselves and to each other.

This is how we make it through tough and trying times,
together.

Here's how you & I can break the flow of the bad to find more of the good, especially in these tough & trying times:

"I will need breaks every now & then to breathe deep, re-center myself,
reset my focus, have a laugh or two and
remember that life, as a whole, is still wonderful."

She has a calm
like no other.
She has possibilities
but she's only
lis'ning
seeing
heeding
what stubbornly calls her soul
and no other.

~ Pauline Apilado, STUBBORN CALLING

P.S. That may be your #trueself #calling. So go meet her. Get to know & be friends with her. Take care of her, now & always.

...relax in the calm certainty
that you deserve
the truest desires of your heart,
are taking impactful steps towards them
and playing hand-in-hand with the Universe
in ushering them into being.
It's all in your mindful
intention, action & co-creation.
Keep at 'em, love.

RELAX, LOVE... (excerpt)

PAY ATTENTION

I am learning to pay attention to the "small things" in #life ...and discovering & experiencing deeply EVERYTHING I need in and with them:

Comfort
Healing
Rest
Peace
Solidarity
Wonder
Beauty
Joy
Strength
Love

May you do, feel & experience the same. <3

So I also joined Bluesky even though most of my other friends are on FB, IG & Threads. I haven't met Leilani yet but her #energy feels safe & supportive and she shares stuff I deeply resonate with or belly laugh at. Please connect with her too, friends. And thanks so much for being YOU, Leilani!
I can’t stress this enough:

Find your community.

Find those who are like-minded, authentic, kind, and are invested in your growth and evolution.

Especially if you’re a woman.

Whether in-person, virtually, or a mix of the two

PLEASE find & connect with your people.

What you seek is seeking you💕

Somethin' we need to remind ourselves of often:
