Practice Vulnerability


Hi Reader!

I'm in the midst of writing my next book, and in this process, I've been sitting with what it means to be vulnerable, not solely as an idea, but I desire to be vulnerable as a practice. I want to share a moment of reflection with you:

Vulnerability is a request to be treated like I’m precious. It helps me ask for what I need. When I ask for what I need, I am able to move forward into and expand softness. I am able to trust myself in life's tension and the goodness that life brings me.
My vulnerability practice is to tell the truth to myself and to share truth with those I am in a relationship with.
Yes, vulnerability opens us up to both hurt and healing. But… That’s what the heart is for… to open us up to possibilities.

Maybe you’re navigating something tender right now too.
What does asking for what you need look like during this time?

futures
like bread in our children’s mouths

Hi Friend!! We are halfway through the year. I wanted to pull up a chair and check in with you the way I have been checking in with myself. I will be honest, because you didn't subscribe to this lil newsletter for me to lie. I have been navigating some things (plural) this season. Tender, emotional, real-life things. And here is what I know about myself, and maybe about you too if you carry any Capricorn (or earth sign placements): when we are going through it, we do not die. We build...

Hi Reader, Here’s something I’ve been thinking a lot about. Right now, every day looks pretty much the same for me. I wake up, I tend my shrines, I say my prayers, I go to the gym, I come home, read something super Black, read something super woo woo, and I get in the bathtub. I take a nap. I wake up, and I prep content for the YouTube series I’m currently working on. I check on my herbs. I check on my blackberry plant to make sure the squirrels haven't stolen all my bounty before it's...

Hi Reader! Randomly, I want to start this email to you by saying, "I'm so sick of Astrology borderline lying to Capricorns." LOL! I swear we keep getting these messages that Pluto is done doing something and the stars are doing something else with something and the Sun has progressed to something... and all of that means things are supposed to be more easeful for us soon. WHEN? Tell. Me. When? LOL! (deep sigh) Hi! Happy April! The newsletter usually goes out on the first of the month but...
