Love, connection, wanting

A random list o tings

In order to help bring inner balance and respect for my energy and writing, all new writing (including RLoT, Witch Sh!t, and most of my new essays) will be behind a paywall. - “From the vaults” essays will continue being available for everyone for three months until they are archived) Having a paid subscription not only puts a couple dollars in my bank account to pay my bills, it also encourages me emotionally, mentally, and spiritually to continue sharing my work and offers reciprocity for my time and energy to produce this work. If you benefit from these resources and cannot afford the $7 per month subscription fee, please contact me directly and we can work something out.

1. Feeling seen and known is not the same as feeling understood. I don’t think we need to be understood if we are seen and known.

2. Sometimes the work is not about doing something we think we are supposed to in a way we’ve been told we’re supposed to, but rather is in allowing the help, support, and collaboration of another in.

3. Being given something is different from receiving it. Learning to receive is a practice.

4. Savoring the wanting and anticipation can be so delicious.

5. Giving space for people to do what they need to do can be stressful when we are working on letting go of trying to control everything.

6. Even when we can predict the future, we can’t predict all the details of how it will all unfold.

7. Life rarely goes exactly as we plan. Giving ourselves and situations space to let other options or solutions unfold or come forward and being able to let go of expectations of how things are “supposed” to be can open up so many opportunities for us.

8. Feeling and acknowledging our fear and getting to the root(s) of where it stems from is a practice and often not fun. It can be so freeing though.

9. Sometimes someone gets us in a way that lets us breathe easier.
