you are loved and so are they

Some things to share for today…

First, please take care of yourself to the best of your ability. If you need to put down your phone, not answer texts, or whatever prioritizing your mental and physical wellness looks like – well, you have permission to do so.

Second, in times of great chaos, I do a little prayer ceremony that all energetic ties be removed from my space. Sometimes people just want to argue with you for the sake of arguing, and none of us need that in our life. Protect your peace.

When I do this I include my own behaviors that come from a reactive place. Sometimes I draw it out, and then erase the lines of connection from negative spaces/energies. And I include anything I might have picked up with “doom scrolling.” If anything shows up after that, I know it still needs some work. For example, you are working on cutting energetic ties from negative people in your life, and when done you get messages from them. When that line is cut, folks notice. Just remember that you are a beautiful, blessed, and magical human made from that which created you. Shine brightly. But also have good boundaries.

So, yeah, boundaries. No is a full sentence, as well as saying, “These are my limits, and I ask that you respect them, please.”

People that aren’t watching the news do this for their mental wellness. Can we stop shaming people who are doing what they can to keep themselves grounded in place at this time.

We are all connected. Just saying. When we use that F word (political dogmatic behavior), it can go for anyone. Forcing everyone to be the way you want them to be takes away your autonomy as well. Please understand that a lot of the people who get pulled into propaganda feel it’s a big t Truth. Say a little prayer for them, then engage the above actions – turn off your phone, cut energetic ties, bulk up your boundaries, and find your sacred center.

You are loved, and even though we don’t want to admit it, so are they. This is the underlying truth of all the world’s faith systems, and in the words of Ram Dass, if you want to be enlightened feed the hungry, house the poor – love all; serve all. Also, he says that whether it’s the first day of the new world or the first day of the end, our work here is the same – love everyone and tell the truth.
I love you with my whole heart. If you are having a rough time, please reach out to me – I’ll get back to you as soon as I can. Just wander over to that “contact” link to the right.

It’s going to be okay – I’m not saying that to be flip or take away from the wildness that is 2025, but I still have hope.

Big hugs to all y’all.
