My chest and mind felt heavy today and needed to put thought to paper.. I want to share it with you: Things I Understand at 30 That I Wish I’d Understood at 20 • My body is not a “before and after” project — it’s a living organism, perfect in every moment, here to serve me, to carry me through every place and experience, both good and hard. It’s my travel companion, an animal under my care, and I under its care. We are partners in this life, not enemies. All those years I despised it, spoke harshly to it, looked at it with disgust, felt ashamed of it, hid it under oversized clothes, or forced it into ones too tight (so it would look closer to how I wanted), I worked it like a slave, never let it rest or regain its strength, never knew how to respect or love it. I pushed it to extremes — and still, it said nothing. It simply kept layering itself in protection, shielding me from the pain I caused it. Only after 30 did I truly see this and begin to build a better relationship with my body, day by day. • Not everyone is meant to stay in our lives. Most people are just passing through. Some come as lessons, others to show us an easier or better path. Some test us, some mirror back what we dislike in ourselves. And then there are the few who stay through every season — who accept, respect, and love us for simply being, even when we can’t love ourselves. Those few are life’s greatest gift. • Life has seasons, just like nature. On smaller and larger scales. When I began to understand and accept that, I stopped fighting myself and the natural rhythm of life, and chose instead to live in flow with my most authentic self. • The nervous system beats logic and hustle culture. When it’s overwhelmed, it sabotages even your best intentions. Like the body, it’s a companion — the child within and your true identity. I must remind myself daily to care for it, to offer reassurance that I’m here, that I won’t abandon it, that the decisions and plans we make together are creating even more safety than we have now.

Let's commit to another productive week of personal growth! Share your name, your main goal for the week, and one intention that will guide you in achieving it. I'm ready for your response! Here is the format we'll use: • Name: • Main Goal: • Intention: My Turn: • Name: ioana • Main Goal: meditate at least once a day • Intention: detach/let go/ leave it to the Divine and the universe to take care of it Now, what are yours?

we’ve been working sooo hard in the past few weeks on this project and it’s finally coming to light. Myself and @Joy Das Chaudhury have been pouring our hearts & souls, put our neurones to work and put in the hours to create a way to share her art work and some of my rituals & teachings while keeping the magic & nostalgia of receiving a physical letter through post. it’s called JoyfulSoul SnailMail and I’ll leave the link here, if you want a sneak peek https://ko-fi.com/joyfulsoulsnailmail This feels like a dream!

I started Soul Sanctuary with a clear goal: to lift others up. What I didn't see coming was how much this community would end up lifting me up! The incredible joy of having people here who encourage and support me and each other, day in and day out, simply because they want to, without expecting anything in return... it's overwhelming. Thank you. Your support is a pure and priceless gift.
