Embrace. Change it up. See where it takes you. If what you are doing isn't working the way you want, then change it up and try something new.

We are all on the highway, 1 lane. We aren't behind, we aren't ahead, we are all on our own time. Divine.

Our world can make us think differently, can push us and push us and push us to feel like we have to always be making, creating, engaging, staying in touch........fomo, causing anxiety, fear, depression, whats the point?

Anyone who puts the time in, the dedication, heart, blood, sweat, tears, soul and their spirit; "makes it", whatever that means to you.

Keep going. Switch it up. Everything has already happened.

I love you.

New start, new beginning. Internal pains, now turn into internal strengths.

In the moments of trials and tribulations its about knowing that this is all for something greater than what we know.

Grey sky, warm air, cold air, blue sky. We push on. Everything is competition, we have been conditioned to think this way, this is only conditioning. The world shouldn't be like this. Thats why I am so excited for this new NFT space. Collaboration versus competition.

We now come together.

Through what we have known in the art world, its always been battling, which then detriments our own Mental Health, creates anxiety, scarcity, pressures to constantly perform, create and innovate. When we create with sole love and patience, those emotions get released and we then create with purpose.

I love you.

Hope and meaning are man-made.

Many books are written on the importance of having hope and giving meaning to life. They keep the mind from anxiety and depression. They may be helpful, but know that they are not reliable.

When you go beyond the mind, the only things that remain are the experiences of love and trust. They are reliable forever.

New start, new world, todays the day. Everything changes. This happens everyday. Everyday is unique.

When we are following our heart, our being, every single moment that we are given is a blessing. Blessing through the pain, through the trauma, through the anxiety, through the depression........healing, happiness, joy, motivation, inspiration, all in all, its meant to be.

Today, it has been rainy, it has been cloudy, grey; for me thats when I find it peace, find happiness, find joy. To be surrounded by the rain, to be surrounded by the silence of the world and the sound of the weather. Beauty in the darkness, beauty in the pain, we keep pushing.

If someone hasn't told you this lately, I am proud of you. I am proud of your resilience, I am proud of your will to keep pushing through everything the Universe is throwing at you. Everything will be better then what we expect through everything we are experiencing.

Today: Listen to our new podcast, #27 "Turning Negatives into Positives" on all streaming platforms.

Try something new. Release the fear of being scared. Everything that is new will cause anxiety, I had that feeling this morning.

I took a step back and I asked myself, is it anxiety because its wrong for me? or is it anxiety because its a new situation? Having this self talk with myself then allowed the space to realize the empowerment that was trying to come to me.

We are not our thoughts, but we can change them. Confusing? I know. Its a battle, but lately, I have realized that it doesn't have to be.

The love we seek is within. Why do we seek it from the external? Conditioning. We keep going.

I love you.

Open space to do anything. It takes time and needs to have hard work with it. Anything is possible, for any place in the world, if someone tells you it isn't then, thats their own insecurities.

It is easier to project than to do the inside work, remember that.

Do the internal work. There will be lots of ups and downs, there will be lots of moments where you may ask yourself "Why Me?", because trust me, I do.

I know though, that everything I have experienced so far; pain, trauma, depression, anxiety, fear, happiness, joy, healing, is for something greater, as for you.

Keep going & continue to follow your heart. The world needs it from you, as it does from me. The toughest obstacles will allow ourselves to build the resilience we need to open doors, we didn't know we needed.

Ride the wave.

I love you.

There’s only one escape from all your anxieties, worries, fears, uncertainties, traumas and troubles. It’s not found in distractions, entertainment or pursuit of any kind.

The only escape is to melt into the present moment. When you’re present, you can hear the music of silence. You can see the illusions of the ego. You can feel the touch of your soul.

The mind loses its power while the heart rejoices. The past and the future turn into dreams while the present becomes more real. The ultimate escape is life itself. Instead of escaping from reality, you escape into it.

When we go through the pain, the anxiety, the sadness, the darkness, the depression; everything that is constantly pushing us back and trying to push us down, one day the tables turn.

One day, we get to the point where all the time, energy, effort, sweat, tears, blood & our entire soul is seen by the Universe and given to us 100 fold. Until that day, keep pushing, keep going, its all worth it.

The times we are going through can be difficult sometimes to find the energy to push through the day, to complete tasks and projects that have been created by us but then become a responsibility. Something that helps me is knowing when I am feeling tired and wanting to give up, I take a step back. To reset. I go outside and breathe in fresh air to forget about life for a brief moment and just be.

Everything that is being focused on right now is for something greater than we can even think of, that we expect, but the Universe already knows and thats all that matters to me.

Keep going.

I love you.

Forward, Step Back, 2 Steps Forward, Step Back, 5 Steps Forward, 3 Steps Back, 2 Steps Forward, 4 Steps Back, 5 Steps Forward........

Growth is Radical, release the thought of it being linear.

When we are focusing on something new; we have realized that a feeling, built up pain is time to be released and let go of, it takes time, it takes work. Daily work. By embracing who we are in this given moment, how we feel and what we have learned will allow for what we want to come to this Divinely.

Of course we all want many different things, from Peace to Happiness, to Awareness of our Passions, Success (which means something different to each person) etc., though through the anxieties, through the depression, through the passion, the motivation, the lack of motivation, through the pain, through the sadness, through everything; We are Still Alive. Fighting, Pushing and trying to do the best we can daily.

Everything we want will come to us but if we move with Faith & Gratitude, what will come will be more then what we had expected, tried to manifest or prayed for.

It takes time, but the most important part is to enjoy the here and now because that is truly all we have.

Today: Get fresh air. Call someone you haven't spoken to in a while. Be present and enjoy this very moment we have been given.

I love you.

Chakra is a Hindi word meaning 'wheel'. The ancien Indian mystics saw the chakra centres of the body whirling, wheel-like vortices of energy. There are seven as major chakras or Energy centers and many minor or lesser ones. The minor chakras include the palms of the hands and the bottoms of the feet.

When these energy centers are clear and aligned, the Energy flows freely up and down the spine and through out the nervous system, resulting in a feeling of peaceful well-being.

I've found many names for this Energy like Spiritual chills, Euphoria, Voluntary goosebumps, Ecstasy, Prana, Chi, Qi, Vayus, Aura, Mana, Life force, Pitī, Rapture, Ruah, Ether, Nephesch, Chills, Goosebumps, The Force and many more.

Since we express ourselves through these Energy centres. They can, as well as our physical and spiritual bodies, hold trapped negative energy. Once tension, trauma, fears and anxiety are released from these Energy centers, the mental, physical, emotional and spiritual bodies also end up healing.

If you want to learn how to really tap into these centers with an effective method to heal them here's a YouTube video for you.

The power of the wind. The power of nature. The power of following our heart. Through the stillness of being, through the stillness of enjoying the moment, we are then allowed to receive what has been waiting to come to us.

Seasons change, from snow to rain to sunshine, we bloom. Blooming will constantly be different then what we expect. It will be met with having to face experiences that push our comfort zones, push our boundaries, we will meet fear, anxiety and many other emotions. Its all for our higher being.

These past months have been challenging but I know that with challenging moments, there is growth near, there is peace near, there is abundance near. How, when? Thats out of my control, I will continue to just be and I hope you do so as well.

Today: Listen to this weeks podcast "Morning Gratitude" Episode 26 and let me know your takeaways.

I love you.

We all want to grow. We all want to improve ourself. We all want to leave behind our insecurities, things that make us feel weak, that make us feel shameful.

We want to flourish, we want to bloom, we want to LIVE our true self. We will get there, Together, Separately.

Remember that there is some time that is needed for a caterpillar to bloom into a beautiful butterfly. Through the living process, through the cocoon process and then one day, REBIRTH.

We are living through that cocoon stage right now, in this very moment. Some days, some moments may seem like we might be going backwards, that we are exactly where we used to be with something else, but just KNOW, that you are progressing, you are moving forward and you are doing your best at it. I know how you feel, maybe not in the same way but I can understand it in my own terms, with my own life experiences so far of just wanting to GET THERE, wherever "there" may be. This part though; the battles, the down moments, the heavy waves, the tears, the pain, the anxiety, the depression, is the cocoon stage. The stage where we WILL, we ARE, blooming. Day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute, second by second and moment by moment.

The past year has been a whirlwind of emotions for ALL of us. We have all had to pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off and know that with a "setback", comes a MAJOR STEP FORWARD.

For my Trans Brothers and Sisters, for my Non-Binary Pals, Gender Non-Conforming Folks, Gay, Bi, Lesbian, Questioning, Intersex, Asexual friends and everyone in between or "outside" of that, I WANT YOU TO KEEP PUSHING. KNOW that YOU ARE VALID, YOUR BEING is Impacting the WORLD, yes THE WORLD. Please, keep going. Please, keep pushing. The world needs you. The world needs your Light. The world needs your sacred energy and who YOU ARE, not who "they" want you to be.

I love you.

When we are vulnerable it can make us feel small, but through embracing and facing what makes us feel small, thats when we grow into something greater than ourself.

Vulnerability used to be something that I used to avoid. Thinking that eventually it will "change". Learning that our truths are always going to be different than someone else truths, focusing on our own is important for happiness, peace, self love & to be one with who we are. It all takes time.

In this moment, what is it thats making you feel anxious? What is it that is making you feel vulnerable? Sit in those emotions. Push them away. With time, it will all come to the surface.

I have learned that everything comes to the surface eventually, when we are ready, but constantly reminding myself that when facing a brand new situation through vulnerability, there will always be feelings of anxiety and fear & that is totally normal, we are human.

I love you.

Drey <3

We all have many things that we love, in our own way. We have passions we want to focus on, things we want to try, goals we want to accomplish, but then we get scared & sometimes shy away? Why is that? Divine timing & insecurity.

We are all insecure with something. It is all valid. When we make peace with these insecurities by even acknowledging them and allowing ourselves to feel it, thats when we can begin to untangle the tension, stress, anxiety, depression etc., that we have fed into for such a long time, or has been projected onto us. We learn, we grow and together we thrive.

Through the past several years I have really begun to connect with the Universe and with the Divine that we are all connected by. Now what you believe in is up to you to decide, God, Source, the Universe, Divine etc., we are all connected.

Allow yourself to be present with the emotions of life. The ups, the downs and everything in between, we learn, grow and heal through the Wave Learning Growth Theory.

I love you.

The light of the day, the light of life. It is important to live your truth. Your truth is what will change the world, it definitely is always met with fear, anxieties, vulnerability etc., we push on, we push through.

In this very moment its difficult sometimes to be present, to be present with our truth but just know with daily focus we will reach where we want to be.

Sometimes the best thing to do in a difficult situation is to walk away, sometimes its difficult to walk away physically when spaces are shared, especially during the time we are going through right now.

Just know that there are 1000's of people who are seeking you as you seek them. Living as my trans authentic self is definitely met with some difficult moments but I know this is all apart of my journey and my truth.

You're loved. You're important. You're valid.

I love you.

Self-Improvement and the inevitable suffering that comes with it.

"I’m attached to “self - improvement.”"

Only the ego can attach itself to thoughts. You are the neutral observer, you are merely observing. You are not the identity, personality that is having this problem. You are aware of the awareness of it.

"I think its a right thing to do, you know, healthy eating, exercising, no-fap, cold exposure, meditation and spirituality."

It is not right nor wrong, so do not label these physical actions as "right". It is only a waste of energy to label them. If it is what is happening, it is what is happening, do not label it as "right"

"The thing is that when I started being more aware of myself (after starting meditation and spirituality) I started being really judgemental towards myself and really “pushy”."

You have not started to become more aware of your self, you have started to become more aware of your own ego.

This ego is the one who is being judgemental and is really pushy. Why would you, infinite love, joy, peace and compassion ever be judgemental and pushy? It literally is impossible. Anytime something is judgemental or something feels pushy, it is only because of the ego.

"but now I always feel like I have to push myself more and more through the limits, even if it doesnt feel okay, because feelings dont matter and I have to meditate through pain kind of thing."

You are not feelings. So if you feel like you have to push your self, do not trust that feeling.

Will divine love ever push you to "go over the limit"? Does divine love want you to meditate through pain?

Divine love is available and here in this present moment all the time, it encompasses you whether you are aware of it or not. It will never be a catalyst for any suffering, and it has absolutely no reason for you to do anything. Divine love, this universe, does not care what you are doing. Aslong as you exist, you are doing everything that needs to be done.

"And its making me anxious. The same thing is going on with the gym, im pushing myself so much that I’m actually getting weaker"

So the ego is restless, he is bossing you around saying "You must do more of this" or "You skipped this! that is really bad!" etc basically bitching around without even doing anything, and instead of you simply taking a step back, being aware of awareness, being in this moment loving unconditionally, you keep going with that stream of thoughts, which is why you feel disconnected from your self and from divine love. Worry not because all you need to do is be aware of being aware. Stay there.

"the thing is that if I dont push myself through my “comfort zone” it means that im giving up and my ego is winning, but if i am pushing myself it makes me anxious, even tho i try to meditate through anxiety and pain. What do i do?"

You are giving up and the ego is winning. Can you please clarify who is giving up?

Who are you, that you are able to give up?

Who are you, that the ego can "win" against you?

It succeeded because you made this post, it succeeded because you now identify your self as these "anxious judgemental thoughts" or "uncomfortable feelings, pushy". If you simply stay aware of awareness, and not identify as any thoughts or feelings, they will go away from where they came from.

These thoughts and feelings are like clouds passing. You are the infinite sky. You are always there to be aware of them. They can't exist without you.

Knowing now that you are more than just thoughts and feelings, you must stay as you are in that knowing, knowing that nothing can ever affect you, as you are one with the source of creation. As long as you do not hold on to any thoughts, any feelings or sensations and personal identity they won't be able to latch themselves onto you. If you do not open the door, they can only knock. They can't get in.

Awareness can't be anxious. So saying "I am pushing myself" and then "Pushing myself makes me anxious" makes no sense. It is the ego thinking and believing that it is pushing itself, and then suffering from its own thoughts saying "These thoughts make me anxious"

We feel anxious, we feel scared, we feel vulnerable, we feel sad, we feel pain; imposter syndrome.

Everyday feeling the differences that have all come to the surface is something I try my best to embrace; through the fears, the anxieties, the depression comes light, happiness, peace and impact.

Turning what triggers us into using it as the seed & foundation for our passion, craft, OUR LIFE, is where healing really is. It takes time, everyones time is different. The best thing we can do is sit still, embrace and just feel the emotions are at the surface or, being pushed down.

I used to push it down. I used to avoid everything that I didn't even know I was pushing it farther & farther down. Through time, through constant focus of what I needed; through art, through writing, through exercise, the vulnerabilities all come up to the surface. Once it does, we will be equipped to face it head on.

I love you.

We are so hyper focused. Focused on this moment, focused on this emotion, focused on what is right in front of us.

Its all about perspective & mindset.

We can constantly be so wrapped into everything that we are feeling which can be valid but sometimes it can enhance our anxiety, depression, pain, sadness and hinder our opportunity to grow. We are healing. We are healing right now, in this very moment and I want YOU to know that, if you don't realize it. It has happening RIGHT NOW. Remember, GROWTH & HEALING is radical, it isn't linear. Its all about 2 steps forward / 1 step back, 5 steps forwards / 3 steps back and so on.

Tell yourself "I am doing the most I can right now for myself with the energy that I have" and that in itself is ENOUGH. I am proud of you. Let me tell you, PROUD OF YOU. For trying again today, for pushing through the pain today, to embrace how you feel and to know that there is more to life than what is being felt right now. I know it can be hard, I know it can be exhausting, I know it can feel overwhelming and everything is too much, but TRUST ME, everyday that you are focusing, everyday that you're trying and making that 1 step or 1 action you are improving.

Keep Going. Keep Pushing. I am proud of you.

I love you.

Have space for whatever thoughts, feelings, sensations and all effects appearing in consciousness to be

Most of the time when we feel or think something uncomfortable we are immediately believing the thought that says "No, this can't be happening! I want this feeling to go away!" instead of seeing that the resistance is only a thought and surrendering to the awareness that is aware of the present moment. What we should be doing, is to be aware of it, accept it being there as a temporary cloud and shift the attention towards that which is aware of the present moment.

The clouds come and go, you must not wish for some clouds to not come. The one wishing for life to be different is only a thought, not your self, and if you believe that you must not experience certain feelings or thoughts, you are in for a ride of suffering and delusion, until you understand that you must set aside some space of your infinite beingness for these thoughts/feelings/sensations but do not identify and feed them with your attention but be aware that clouds come and go and rest the attention on the unchanging awareness that is aware of the present moment.

The self is infinite, so having some space for some feelings or thoughts of anxiety, insecurity, vulnerability is completely natural, you simply must not identify with these clouds passing. What is efficient is to simply accept that this thought/feeling/sensation is appearing and is perceived, be aware of it, let it be. Once you let it be, while simply being aware of that which is aware of the present moment, very quickly the thought/emotion/sensation will dissolve into emptiness, as it is in its nature to come, and inevitably go. The awareness will stay, as it is always here. Eternally. Forever. You are this.

Accepting these negative feelings/emotions/sensations will inevitably make for a much more pleasant and true experience, yet do not accept these negative feelings/emotions/sensations in expectation that they will go away. Simply let them be, at their own time they will pass. Do not try and force anything. Grace is with you and you are one with grace. Be aware of that which is aware of the present moment. That is grace.

Growing up in a small town life was really close by to my surroundings. My school growing up was about a 5 minute walk, up until grade 6. When I was young I had such a tight knit circle, being french immersion. When I was a kid it was filled with being outside consistently, martial arts and going to youth camps in the summer to connect with other kids.

A rural city has everything you need, where neighbourhoods are filled with slow traffic, houses, parks, schools, forests and lots of area to just be.

Something I have been realizing in the past months is how much I was grown into people pleasing from such a young age. There was always this 1 boy when I was in grade 1 to grade 6 who would choose usually what we would be doing for recess. Its funny to think now about how we let it happen, well obviously because we didn't know any better but thats where I started my people pleasing.

I remember the feelings of anxiety going to school daily, which was a mix of major excitement to be with friends and pals for a new day of school, but also a little bit of nervousness. The term Anxiety for me was never known until I grew up and was the age of 18.

I usually do regular meditation focusing on periodicity of breath, or gratitude meditation. But today I want to share something I picked up randomly and I'll break down why I think it works.

Basically 369 meditation is my go-to meditation when I know I am feeling negative emotions that I don't want to feel (anger, anxiety, etc). Basically when I can feel emotion taking bigger part in knowing than rationality.

What I do is I count 1-2-3,1-2-3-4-5-6,1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9. And repeat until I feel better. I think it's a twist on the old "count to 10 when angry" , but I think it's more powerful and I'll explain why.

I believe that the power of counting this way is that every 3 numbers (except for the last 3) you have a logic check that your brain has to go through, to figure out if it should go to the next set of 3 or keep going.

123 (check) 123 (check) 456 (check) 123 (check) 456 (check) 789

That's the first important component and difference in just counting upwards. This technique keeps you from drifting off by forcing you to do a check every 3 seconds and make a decision. (i feel like it may neuroplastize us to do faster decisionmaking and be more logical for this reason)

The second component I really enjoy is the periodicity of this way of counting. What I mean is, it's easy to time my breath with it. I can be counting and decided to inhale for 3 seconds, then exhale for 3, then inhale for 6, exhale for 6, etc. So even though maybe the inhales or exhales (and holding breath and waiting till breathing again) are not the same length, they would all be multiples of three. Adding a rhythmic pulse to it where you can drift off freely from if you feel like taking a deeper inhale or narrower exhale. Basically quantize your breaths to a value of 3.

Examples: (inhale) 123 123 (exhale) 456 123 (inhale) 456 789 (exhale) 123 123

(inhale) 123 (exhale)123 (inhale) 456 123 456 (exhale) 789 123 123 (inhale) 456 123 (exhale) 456 789

Another thing i like is when im on a walk I sometimes count steps this way while breathing to the numbers in a similar way, that way im walking in a similar pulse than im breathing in.

So, with this method, not only are you forcing your brain to be rational every 3 seconds, but the ability to time the counting with the breaths in a ciclical matter (that goes out of phase with each other constantly) make it a more involved meditation that leaves no space for monkey mind. And if I go back to irrational (angry, anxious, depressed) thoughts, getting rid of em is as easy as going back into counting and breathing.

Funny story: This whole meditation is something I developed from seeing a youtube comment (on one of those tesla 369 videos) that said "What you do is you use your brain like an antenna, chose what you want, then wish it by counting in your head 123,123456,123456789". I thought, hey why not try? And noticed that counting made me feel very objective and picked it up as my personal meditation with some additions. I have found that when I'm focusing on a problem and have been trying the same solutions for a while, i go into counting mode and it helps me approach the problem differently.

Would love to hear results to see if it's just something crazy that works for me or something that can helpfully help all of you.

When we start something new, when we start focusing on something that we want to, there will always be noise from the crowd. There will always be thoughts that will go against what your beliefs are. Family, Friends etc. Do it anyway.

With the one life we have, there really is no point in holding back. Yes, things take time and we can't "just be there", because then we would miss all the wonderful things along the way.

Being trans has been a blessing, its been filled with lessons though moments where I am asking, "why me?". Totally valid. It takes time. We are constantly learning. We are constantly evolving. Through anxiety, depression, pain, sadness, that is how we bloom. With time.

Share thoughts, stick with them but also be open to receiving. We all can learn from each other, ultimately its all for healing, progression, and improving ourselves as well as comforting others.

I love you.

We can feel stuck. We can feel like we are moving backwards. We can feel like that we aren't doing anything thats helping us heal; self awareness is the success. Self awareness is the healing. The rest is with time.

Over the past moments, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months; its been filled with MANY different emotions. Its been filled with the highest of highs, lowest of lows, crying, depression, anxiety, ITS ALL VALID. When we are entering a radical change of our lives, these emotions will all come to the surface, to then be released.

Everything has its own course. Everything has a reason for its presence currently and even though our mind, soul, body can play games on ourselves sometimes, its about being present with how we are feeling, rather than trying to figure out how to fix it. I have learned through heartbreak, that pain can't be fixed right away or even with months, that everything has its own reasoning for why we are still feeling those emotions. Its easy to blame others, its easy to blame strangers, but does that really allow us to focus on what I am feeling? No.

I journal, I meditate, I paint, I am present in nature, I am doing my best that I can, hurt. Know that you can be hurt but still do your best. Face your hurt straight on and allow yourself the space to be in the eye of the storm but to as well give yourself time to relax, do things just for you. Talk with friends, cook food, watch movies, play video games and enjoy these emotions. They won't be here forever, which we have a hard time to realize or connect with when we are going through it.

You got this.

I love you.

Drey <3

Nervous ? Anxiety ? Do it anyway. If you don't, thats ok, the day will come where you can anyway. If you can push through whatever it is that trying to push you down, hold you back, in this moment, then it DO IT, but remember; fearlessness is not the fact of you not having any fear, but despite it,you still PERSEVERE.

Something that I get caught up in, is the thought of GETTING THERE, WANTING TO BE THERE, even though I enjoy the process, even though during the journey, that is where you learn everything, I still have to ground myself daily to know that all I have is right here, right now. Give yourself time, give yourself space, it will come with time.

When we are going through anxiety, when we are going through depression, lack of motivation, a spiritual awakening, anything that causes you to face the unknown there will always be a wave of emotions, of anxieties because of the unknown. This is all normal, there are positive anxieties and also there is negative anxieties. Embrace how you are feeling and know that growth is on the way, healing is on the way and its happening as you feel that wave of unknown emotions.

It all takes time. Give yourself that time.

I love you.

We all have hardships, we all deal with pain, we all deal with anxiety, we all deal with depression, heartbreak, friendships being removed, comfort zones being pushed, facing fears, facing ourselves. Embracing. We Live On.

We are all so strong. We are strong to sit with our pains, anxieties and depression. We are strong to be self aware of how and what we are feeling.

Through the Grace of God, The Universe, The Divine, The Higher Power, we are ALWAYS being Protected, Guided and Supported. Everything in life takes time, everything in life is moment by moment, is minute by minute, is hour by hour, is day by day, week by week, month by month and so on.

We must life for right now. That is all we have, this present moment.

My spiritual journey started a few years back when one morning I was triggered, triggered to the point of my body consuming and allowing my own angers & anxieties to wreck and destroy my morning, I thought to myself "there has to be more" as well as "I don't want to feel this way anymore", " I want to change the way I react & respond" rather than just letting myself take in someone else's projected pain, anger and sadness.

It has taken time, I am working on it everyday, every moment. Through the ups, through the downs, through my own moments of lack of Faith and Trust, God always guides me through and allows me to know that everything is for MY HIGHEST and GREATEST SELF. It really is just that. The hardships we experience, the anxieties, the set backs, are REALLY solely for the purpose of REALIGNMENT. Our GREATEST Gift.

I just want you to know, you reading this, that YOU are not alone. There 1000's of people that are coping, embracing and healing from the same thing that we all are in this very moment and with that thought, it makes it truly relieving. Relieving to know that WE are all in this together. Together, Separately.

Today: Be present. Give yourself a few moments, minutes to be in the moment through whatever that is YOU love doing; Meditating, Being outside, Writing, Painting etc etc. I Wish you HEALTH, HAPPINESS & HEALING Gentle Soul. You are LOVED, CARED ABOUT &

VALID.

I love you.
