Previously when I got my moon cycle, I would take an excedrin, shove plastic inside of me and continue to go go go and push myself to exhaustion.

Fast forward to now, I take intentional time to honor my cycle, recognizing my body’s desire to slow down, to take a bath, to rest and to bleed 🩸 freely without a plastic damn inside of me.

Ever since then, my periods have been lighter, more regular and I experience less cramping and PMS symptoms.

Let’s normalize women taking a day off to honor their cycles.

One of the days in Lisboa, Soleil said she wanted to wear two different shoes. ⁣
⁣
I hesitated for a moment, and my brain immediately said “we don’t do that, our shoes should match.” But I swallowed the words and paused before responding.⁣
⁣
“That’s a great idea Soleil, I love how you express yourself.” Is what ended up coming out. ⁣
⁣
I saw my mom cringe at the idea, which I totally understood. I’m sure the same thoughts that swirled around in my mind also surfaced in hers:⁣
⁣
What will people think?⁣
What if other kids make fun of her?⁣
Shoes have to match ⁣
That’s not normal …..⁣
⁣
But who am I to tell her she can’t wear mis-match shoes? As a mama, I can regurgitate what society says is “normal” or “right and wrong” and try to put her in a box so she “fits in.” Or I can allow her the freedom to express herself in the way her tiny heart desires, and stand out in a way that only she can. ⁣
⁣
The world will eventually reveal itself to her. And at that time, SHE gets to choose how she wants to show up in it, not me. ⁣
⁣
I’m proud of my tiny for thinking outside the box at her little age. ⁣
⁣
I wonder - in what ways have I not fully expressed myself because I was afraid of being judged or rejected by others? In what ways have you?

𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 ⁣
⁣
After 15 years in partnership and 11 years married, I’ve decided to start dating this year. ⁣
⁣
(Allow for awkward pause while you all jump to silly conclusions.)⁣
⁣
Nope, it’s not another man. It’s actually a women. ⁣
⁣
I’ve known her for a while. In fact, I’ve known her my entire life. There’s been interest and intrigue in the past, but I’ve never prioritized her. ⁣
⁣
The truth is, I’ve put other people’s needs and desires before hers, my whole life. I’ve had glimpses of what life could be like if I finally let her in, but then life happens and I go back to my default mode of taking care of everybody else. ⁣
⁣
I’ve been afraid to take the leap, to try something new to meet someone new, because I’ve found security and safety in comfort.⁣
⁣
But I’m ready for her. Ready for a new kind of love. A romantic kind of love. A feminine type of love. A love that knows no limits or boundaries or conditions. ⁣
⁣
And so, I asked her out. I’m nervous and excited to finally connect with this woman in a new way and give her all of my attention and all the love that she deserves. ⁣
⁣
And guess what? I said yes 😉⁣
⁣
I’m excited to embark on the journey of dating myself this year. To dance with my light and my shadows and to finally meet ALL of me ❤️❤️⁣
⁣
We constantly search outside of ourselves for love, for happiness, for pleasure, for romance…and our desires are often not fulfilled, our expectations rarely met. But what if we turned our focus inward and become all that we seek? What if instead of relying on others to fulfill our needs, we fill our own? Who would we become if we finally accepted, loved and celebrated all parts of ourselves? ⁣
⁣
I’m excited to find out. Want to join me?⁣

Hola 2022.⁣
⁣
I’ve always rolled my eyes at the phrase “new year, new me” - as if there is a line in the sand marked January 1 and when you cross it, everything changes. But the truth is, not much usually does change. ⁣
⁣
We set multiple lofty goals that are often unattainable because we try to accomplish them all at once. ⁣
⁣
Or we start to make changes with good intentions but perhaps we get bored or unmotivated or just overwhelmed by the responsibility of life and adulthood that we slip back into our “old ways”⁣
⁣
But this year, for me, is different. A lot is changing in me and around me and I am ready to take on the challenge of intricately and intentionally creating the “new me.” The next version of myself. Me, fully expressed. ⁣
⁣
Fear and excitement dance elegantly together within my heart as I step courageously into this new chapter and I look forward to meeting the women on the other side of it all. ⁣
⁣
Let this year be the year that we choose to become HER. All of her. In all her wild colors. We have but this one life to live so let’s not waste anymore time mg dear.

The transition into the new year is an invitation
To reconnect and reclaim our deepest truths
The truths that we’re afraid to speak
The truths that only we know

Let this new year be the year
You speak them
Or perhaps sing them
Or maybe even scream them

Let this year be the year you finally let go
And become
All that you have dreamed of becoming

Because if you can dream it, my dear, it’s all possible.

Life is merely a reflection of what we believe.

So when setting intentions, dream big. Dream wild. Dream beyond the borders and boundaries of what you’ve dreamed before.

See it. Taste it. Hear it. Smell it. Feel it.
Become…. all of it.

Anything is possible. YOU, are possible. And babe, you deserve it ALL.

⁣
It’s a time of ⁣
Death and decay ⁣
Hibernation and grounding ⁣
Introspection and reflection. ⁣
⁣
For me, it marks a bridge between the old and the new. ⁣
⁣
An opportunity to leave behind what’s no longer meant for us ⁣
To allow old parts of us to die ⁣
Old layers to shed ⁣
And to powerfully step forward toward new beginnings ⁣
⁣
Don’t be afraid of death my dear ⁣
The flowers die and bloom again ⁣
Year after year ⁣
And so will you

Winter

It’s a time of
Death and decay
Hibernation and grounding
Introspection and reflection.

For me, it marks a bridge between the old and the new.

An opportunity to leave behind what’s no longer meant for us
To allow old parts of us to die
Old layers to shed
And to powerfully step forward toward new beginnings

Don’t be afraid of death my dear
The flowers die and bloom again
Year after year
And so will you

I arrived at the edge of the cliff
My breath was taken by the majestic view before me
I watched as the waves ebbed and flowed, always returning back to where they came from
Always finding their way home.
And I knew in that moment, everything would be ok.
My breath returned to me.
And I smiled.

We talk a lot about “letting go” and “leaving behind anything and anyone that doesn’t serve us…”

But, how often do we actually put it into practice?

When I take a look at my life, I see myself surrounded by a variety of patterns and cycles of things I’ve declared year after year, “I’m leaving behind” yet here they still are.

They say that life will continue to bring you the same experience, over and over again, until you’ve learned the lesson.

Well, I’m finally ready to be a student again. To learn, and to become the next version of myself, full of new lessons and knowledge, so as not to repeat the past, but to forge forward toward a new future.

New is scary. Letting go is difficult. especially when our hands and hearts are intricately tangled to things of the past. But I am ready to pull the string from the handwoven sweater that is my life and let it unravel.

You can find her somewhere in between…

The mountains and the sea
The future and the past
The light and the dark
The broken heart and the healing
The dream and the reality

You can find her
here and now

With a smile on her face
Scars on her skin
And love in her heart
Continuing to believe….

that anything is possible.

I’m realizing that indecision, is, in itself, a decision. It is a choice NOT to make a decision. A choice to stay where you are, as you are, right now. It’s treading water in the sea of life, remaining stagnant while everything moves around you.

Gosh it can get exhausting.

We can rest our tired arms and allow ourselves to drown.

Or we can lay back, and float, and let the current take us somewhere new.

Surrendering isn’t giving up. It, like indecision, is a conscious choice to let go and see where life takes you.

Sometimes, just the act of making the decision, big or small, to move in a new direction, is exactly the thing we need to free ourselves from the mental cages we often get trapped in.

I have begun my process of reflection of this past year. And to be honest, 2021 has not been my favorite year of my life.⁣
⁣
2021 has been a demolition year for me. ⁣
a shattering ⁣
a breaking⁣
a cracking ⁣
⁣
And then a process of deconstruction, picking up the fragmented pieces of me and trying to make sense of them. Trying to understand why they have broken and deciding if and how I want to put them back together. ⁣
⁣
But in looking back through the all the rubble, underneath the fragments of pain, tears and unspoken words, I also collected some of my favorite moments which have been etched as memories in my heart. ⁣
⁣
When things aren’t working we can choose to settle and live under the same roof or we can choose to remodel. To build a new window or maybe even a whole new home within ourselves. ⁣
⁣
Construction is a necessary process if we desire to upgrade our human experience. It takes courage to break down the walls we have spent so long building, but the walls must come down in order to see the foundation beneath ⁣
⁣
Sometimes there’s so much erosion that a new foundation must be built. Other times, if the foundation is strong, it may be able to hold your new home, but the building may look a little different.⁣
⁣
So the building process begins again.⁣
And this time, every piece that I use during construction will be hand selected by my heart. ⁣
⁣
If something isn’t working my dear, get out your tools, and start the demolition. Find beauty in the breaking. And put yourself back together, with love, and intention. Knowing that next version of you awaits. And oh my is she beautiful.

𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗮𝗱𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻 𝘂𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝘂𝘀.⁣
⁣
One of the deepest desires of my soul is to experience all that this world has to offer. To get out of the day to day, comfortable, lives we tend to live on auto-pilot. ⁣
⁣
The good news is, the world has a LOT to offer. The downside is, I tend to get itchy a lot. ⁣
⁣
I get itchy when I feel stuck ⁣
Stuck in routine⁣
Stuck in my patterns⁣
Stuck in the day to day ⁣
Stuck in the comfort of certainty ⁣
⁣
My wanderlust soul cannot sit still for too long without craving expansion. ⁣
⁣
To see new things⁣
To go new places⁣
To taste new foods⁣
To meet new people ⁣
To hear new music ⁣
To experience new cultures. ⁣
⁣
We have spent 10 beautiful years in north county San Diego, but lately, I have gotten the itch. The craving for something new, something completely different.⁣
⁣
And so today, we embark on a 5-week journey in Portugal to live and work and explore it as a potential new home for our little family. The thought comes with a lot of excitement and also a lot of fear. But I learned not to run from fear a long time ago, and to instead dance with her and to see where she takes me. ⁣
⁣
So the dance begins. And I marvel at the thrill of something new, and I cannot wait to see where this journey takes us. 🤍⁣
⁣
My dear, when was the last time, you did something for the first time?⁣

Gratitude has a new name for me: Soleil Luna. I am grateful for everything and everyone that lead to her creation.
