I've said this before, but when starting this community and when joining other communities on skool, I never anticipated the actual 'community' piece of it. Didn't expect the very real connections that would be made through a medium that seemed so detached to me. But, here we are, connecting. And it feels real. Because maybe, just maybe, it is real after all? This past week @LaTanya Carter and I had an incredible journey making our way through a few countries (more on that in a different post). It's been a beautiful trip filled with realizations, beautiful scenery and gratitude. I'm so thankful for the ability to do this and so so blessed to do this with her! She's lovely 💗 The highlight on the very last day of our trip has been being able to meet @Serena DAfree in real life!!! 🇺🇲🌎🇬🇧 Her and I met early on and we just 'clicked'. Her heart for people and her ability to look beyond the surface really stood out and I just love her energy. The real life meet up just further highlighted her spirit and her love. (Thank you for a lovely lunch!) Spending time with her was the best part of the last day. It never ceases to amaze me that we live in a time where we can meet strangers (from all over the world) online and become friends and meet them in real life. Wild times... How have your online connecting experiences been for you? I personally know it doesn't always turn out positive but obviously I'm hoping for more good than bad!

The relationship we have with life is wonderful. It’s a dance of polarities, plus and minus, dancing the play of life. Especially men and women dance dynamically. These dynamics are wonderfully to enjoy when in harmony. Men and women can do a lot together, if both stay within and allow self and the other to be in full expression of souls freedom. The energy that expands through the dance is immense. As soon as one party attaches to a part or even the entire other, friction creates problems easily. We know what’s right when we allow ourselves to hear and be embodied. Conscious embodiment is the key here. Responding over reacting is the goal and the aim. We can generate and live in powerful dynamics if stay aligned and true to our values. Let’s dance!!!💃 🕺 What’s your take??

Saw this on a water bottle and it was such a lovely reminder. Whenever I really step back and am intentional with what I'm taking in, a deep sense of gratitude and joy and awe overcome me. It's a very activating force. What was a recent thing that you noticed that allowed for a moment of awe? Are you on the lookout for grand things even in the smallest details?

Affirmations are intentional statements we use to help shape our focus, identity, and internal dialogue. They're about reinforcing the mindset we actually want to live from. The most effective affirmations are believable enough to accept, repeated consistently (and internalized over time), emotionally /value connected AND backed by action. :) These were some of the ones I've been leaning on this week: -"I owe it to myself to see how capable I truly am and to live and expand upon my potential" -"I keep promises to myself" -"I will not sleepwalk through a life others would fight for" -"I reject comfort that weakens me and I accept discomfort that strengthens me" -"I don't wait to lose things to appreciate them". Would love to hear some of yours! :) Do you use affirmations or reminders?
