This year I’m challenging myself to fully complete a draft of my memoir of being a juvenile delinquent. More than a decade ago, pieces were a regular feature on my blog. I’ll be sharing snippets to continue to hold myself accountable because it’s tiiiime to complete this birth journey.

Having a word for the year is so much more interesting than setting goals (you can have those too). A word for the year help with intention, and it can surprise you in the ways it shows up.

Life has been a whirlwind of changes in the past few months, which is a common pattern in my life with the transition from Winter to Spring. Even though I love change, it takes time to adapt and integrate the shifts. I catch my internal judge being extra judgey when I need to rest, go to a café rather than make tea at home, or slug out on the couch for a mindless binge fest.

Are you putting pressure on yourself to make money or to work in a particular way? This year marks a big year for changing my money beliefs. I started in on money work intentionally once a girlfriend in 2020 told me I likely qualify for PUA — pandemic unemployment assistance. That was my first time receiving unemployment, and it held powerful lessons for me.

Before Autumn began, I wrote a blog post similar to My #1 Tactic for Overcoming Summer Stagnation*… but Autumn energy is different for me. In Summer I feel heavy & sluggish. I struggle to enjoy the heat and light, so that list served as a reminder of ways to enjoy a season that's challenging.

What do you do when you’re facing your least favorite season? Summer is the most challenging season for me, so I’m always looking at different tactics and mindset strategies to lean into Summer’s gifts

There are ways to cultivate a relationship with yourself. To develop your intuition. To know yourself and uncover the wisdom you carry.

That’s what we do together in Writing With The Moon. I hold this space as a place to practice and listen. You show up for yourself and for the others in the circle. The experience is guided so you are held, and there’s also freedom for you to explore what shows up for you.

When you tend all the things and people around you but forget to tend your own deep well, that well can run dry. You feel lost, looking outside yourself for answers. There is a way to cultivate this connection with yourself. To develop your own intuition so you trust yourself again.

A good reading can help you walk away loving yourself more and being on the side of yourself instead of wanting to change everything. Awareness is a powerful tool, and readings are one way to gain awareness.

Readings when partnered with a skilled coach can help you take your life in a direction you want it to go while taking your nature into consideration. A coach can help you hold the vibration you are wanting to hold, and a good coach can help you brainstorm options when you only have one way of seeing.

When a friend asked me what motivated me to give up caffeine, especially with all that giddy pleasure wrapped up in it, I blurted that I wanted to be in tune with my own energy.

Oooh, I took a moment to listen to myself.

A deeper layer of joy for me is to love myself more, just as I am.

As a coach I don’t disregard what you’re going through. I hold you in that space, and yet I hold the torch for your dreams. For your life. I don’t want your suffering to dictate everything. Together we cultivate your ability to see through the lenses of the life you want and then to cultivate that life. Yes, it’s a new way of being. Yes, transformation comes with its own discomfort. But it’s so worth it to grow and blossom.
