It’s been a while ❤. A “self-permission slip” for you inside.

Hi lovely,

First, I want to acknowledge my absence over the past 6 months in writing to you consistently.

When 2021 began I felt called inward… to be more still… to be offline more.

There were many times over the past 6 months I thought of things I’d write to you, and then I kept feeling this softer voice that said “not yet, just be.”

For someone (me) who has been a doer, and a rigid rule follower for so much of my life, this was edgy for me, yet I wanted to practice what I preach, and allow room for the space and silence that I was being called from deep within to lean into…

To not push past my innate instincts, and to listen to my essential timing for reconnection, rather than any timeline, agenda, or outside voice telling me to follow an algorithm.

I decided to follow my own internal algorithm because I feel very clear that when I write to you and send a newsletter, I want to write to you with intentionality, rather than add to the noise you’re already being inundated with on the reg.

I want to provide value each time you open up an email from me, so you hopefully receive a gem to apply right away to your own inner journey.

And so I waited, and just as the seasons have turned, and we just crossed the threshold into Summer, I started to feel the stirring again; and so here I am, and really happy to be back in connection with you!

My offering to you today is the hope that in sharing my experience over the past 6 months it also offers you a self-permission and honoring of yourself too.

A self permission to trust your own natural rhythms of energy, and expression especially as life picks up again and more of the world opens.

❤ To trust that it’s okay to unplug when you need to, and that everything won’t go to shit if you do.

❤ To trust that in order to provide value you don’t need to play the game, or always be on/available.

❤ To trust that just like nature you go through your own seasons and cycles, and it’s okay to lean in and trust those waves of pause, rest, stillness before making your next move.

❤ To trust that you don’t have to force a form (writing, relationship, career move, etc.) into existence, and rather you can nurture the next expression of you with care, listening, and being.

Consider this email a nudge from the universe and your soul, reminding you to cash in on that “self permission slip” inside.

For now, my plan is to be connecting with you more consistently through this medium of writing and sharing.

So nice to be back with you, and I am wishing you a beautiful day.

With love,

P.S. Look out for more connections from me soon, where I’ll be sharing an exciting new possibility and way for us to connect in the coming months if you’re craving an opportunity to deepen your inner journey and connect with a nourishing community.
