Walk was completed today! Got out right at 6am this time. I also edited a video and got it posted for tomorrow. I think I'll add onto some of my goals now that I'm feeling secure in the morning routine. 1. Film/edit/post 1 video on YouTube a week. I film a lot and then it never reaches editing so this will be a good challenge. 2. Get my snail mail club up and running by or before my birthday (August 20) My channel: https://youtube.com/@theintrovertedgirl?si=7JcKDA1BgBBfdctI

Mostly a rest day today. I felt I really needed more sleep this morning so I went with that. Got some stuff done for the new business idea, but that's pretty much it! Going to continue to rest then back at it tomorrow.

Today was my volunteer day at the wolf sanctuary, so no early morning walk with my dog. But I did more walking at the sanctuary! Journaling is all done and more brainstorming on the new idea. I actually would like to ask for some of your opinions! In snail mail clubs, the person will always include a letter. Most of these are the artist talking about the art they included, how they made it, what inspired them, etc. But I was thinking of writing more of a personal letter. Think of you having a pen pal and they're updating you on all the things that happened the past month: places they went, things they learned, their fears, thoughts, etc. That's interesting if you know the person, but do you think it would be appealing to strangers? If you were looking into signing up for this type of subscription, would that letter be something you read or would it be boring to you and not worth it? Really think from a stranger perspective!

Walk complete! Went even earlier today so that felt nice. Cleaned mostly today, and I will get to my journaling tonight. I had a friend bring up a new idea for my shop: a snail mail subscription! I've always loved the penpal type of idea and have wanted to subscribe to some myself. Need to figure out the details, but so far I'm excited.

Hi all! It’s lovely to meet you all and I am excited to be joining in on the tribe for Magician Month! A little intro: My name is Stacey, and I am joining from Los Angeles. I am an LCSW and have a private practice based in California. I have two dogs (Gracie and Athena), I am a new auntie to my 11-month-old niece, I am a hobby photographer, and I volunteer at a local wolf sanctuary. I am currently in a season of growth in a variety of ways, shedding the old and welcoming the new, and this had me thinking it was the perfect time to join Ravenwolf and WolfTribe. There are multiple aspects of life I am looking to be intentional about in these spaces: 1. My work. Recently, I have been blessed with a few new opportunities. I am looking to continue pushing myself to expand professionally, and create more opportunities despite my imposter syndrome. I will also be completing my Somatic Experiencing Practitioner certification in October (this has been 3.5 year journey), so I would like to continue honing in on my skills, growing my clinical practice, and leaning into where this will take me. 2. My little side hustle. Since my niece was born and I started working with the wolves, I took up photography. I have been told by others that my work is good, but again - imposter syndrome. I really enjoy photography and would like to continue expanding not only my skills, but also get to a place where I am doing it as a side gig. Last week I created an Instagram page where I began posting photos, and eventually will turn this into a professional page. 3. Physical. This year I took up cycling and I am training to join a cycling team. I also started strength training. I am looking to hold myself accountable to my program. 4. Relationships. In recent months, I have realized that I have fallen into old patterns and have been working to reaffirm my boundaries, challenge the people-pleasing, and exist unapologetically. For Magician Month, my bigger focus will be on my upcoming move! I just signed a lease for what is somewhat of a dream house (and will bring me one step closer to a longterm goal of becoming a foster parent).
