A little bit of Gratitude

Do me a favor — take a moment to compare the feeling that comes before/during a vulnerable moment shared with others (stop and think about that feeling for a second…) with the feeling of being VALIDATED by others in your vulnerability. You’ve experienced both of these moments, yes?

I love validating people in their vulnerability. It feels both like a form of deep connection and a magical way to truly empower others, thus helping them in their own journey of self-healing.

Me personally — I have such a hard time being the one who is vulnerable. And I don’t think I’m alone in that.

For me, writing is a joyful and empowering experience, but sharing what I write is vulnerable. And even though becoming a published author is one of my WILDEST dreams, sometimes I avoid it and tell myself I can’t because of the vulnerability I feel — in both actively chasing that dream, telling others about it, and of course sharing my work.

This newsletter is practice for me. It’s practice being vulnerable. It’s practice putting myself out there. It’s practice for exercising my authentic magic & my personal power. It’s practice for dealing with all the feelings associated with chasing my wildest dreams.

And I just want to say: To everyone who chooses open these emails and to remain subscribed each week, you make me feel so seen. And to anyone who has ever responded or sent me a validating message, or reached out to say anything about what I’m doing, please know that you are helping me heal. I truly appreciate you all.

Today’s email is the energetic equivalent of ‘a day late and a dollar short’ (does that even make sense?). Probably because the moon is void (at time of writing) and call me crazy, but I’m one of those weirdos who is heavily impacted by La Luna.

Hoping this that this Tuesday doesn’t leave you feeling too detached.

Sending love, trust, and gratitude.
