Hello glorious friends! I have recently become curious about my astrological chart. The story behind this curiosity isn’t short. In fact it’s more of a series of short side road journeys that lead nowhere specific but end up bringing me right where I need to be. Curiosity can be like that sometimes. We don’t necessarily…

Hello courageous friends! Gah! It’s August 1st. AUGUST FIRST. Wow… for me, it never feels easy to allow this to sink in and be ok.

Ok, so I had an entirely different pst in store for you than you’re actually getting this morning. I typically write my weekly posts at some point over the weekend and have them scheduled to automatically send out at 7:30am. And that was the plan for today…. until I went to Yoga this morning. While…
