Hi First name / you,

 

Gratitude. Disbelief yet belief. Overflowing. Pure love. Simplicity. Slow down. 

 

To start August, I launched Sun Sessions. Thank you. Thank you for riding this wave with me and welcoming my creations with open arms and hearts. I can feel the love and support from you on all realms, and I am so grateful. I am grateful for everything that contributed to my current existence, the past iterations of Gaby for working so hard so that I could be where I am now, and for future versions of Self that send me glimmers of love and where to move forward. The unfolding is so beautiful, a little scary of course, but in the way that life gets to be. 

 

I've already had many beautiful sessions with new friends, and my heart shines seeing photos that you are all sending me of your own 21 / 40 / 90 Day Plans. It is incredible!! I am really in awe of this community of (mostly) female-bodied humans, and how we are relentless in creating the life we desire and inherently deserve. It inspires me to continue to create and to bask in the present moment. Remembering that the magic happens in the day to day: the small changes we make that accumulate, and meeting each moment with as much presence that we can. 

 

I'd like to share my personal Tarot pull for the 8/8 Lion's Gate portal, using the Sacred Web Tarot deck, a deck that is dear to my heart as it was channeled and illustrated by the mother and brother of my long time friend, Daisy. It is a true work of art and love.

 

These cards represent the energy pulling me forward, the energy I can let go, and anything else my Guides wanted me to know. From left to right, these cards are named: Majesty, Sacred Cosmic Self, and 6 of Earth. I'd like to share a few quotes from this profound guidebook for each card to weave together the picture being painted: 

 

Majesty - Here, you begin to recognize that the source of inspirational energy arises from within. With confidence in your own brilliance, you ask yourself how you can take steps toward living more fully with your soul's purpose. How can you make space for your gifts to shine? To create a strong foundation for your life, consider what in it serves to limit and what serves to liberate. Majesty calls you into the sacred power or service through skillful leadership…you have nothing to fear when you move through the world with an open heart. 

 

Sacred Cosmic Self - It is time to return to the inner sweetness of your child self. Open your heart to the wisdom and divine magic that you are connected to something that is beyond that is also within. Surrender any pain or shame or doubt for these are simply illusions. You are the sacred light. 

 

6 of Earth - Surrender any doubts. You are called into this experience through the devotion of your heart. Give yourself permission to have faith in the moment and to feel gratitude for all that has brought you here. Through the devotion of my heart, I align my mind, body and spirit with the beauty of the Earth. 

 

One thing bringing me deep pleasure these days is reading: the pleasure of reading. The resonance of certain newsletters and books have been swirling around me in such lovely ways…deeply inspiring and human. Nuanced to each writer and how they navigate whatever season they're in… I'm basking in their words as I sit outside and “mindfully scroll" when and where I can. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So here's what I'm reading. 

Newsletters from MJ Renshaw of The Being Method and Lisa O Connor of A Radiant Life, Substacks by Sierra McDaniel - Subliminal Shift, Lisa Olivera - Human Stuff, and The Moon Lists

 

The Magdalen Manuscript and The Witch's Herbal Apothecary 

 

I've been talking and sharing about The Retreat Newspaper, and as it is now on Issue 3…I am absolutely loving reading it. The feeling of reading a newspaper full of words that I want to read about, offline, curated just for me for the month, is what I want to be participating in with my time. Last Friday, I sat at a park in Ojai and read it. 

A physical newspaper with all the wellness and spiritual things you want to read about on Instagram, but in print. Disconnect to Reconnect. Special hint, yours truly is the feature in next month's issue. Code ‘GABY100’ for your first issue free <3 

 

Lastly, my first column for BYLINE is here. Earth to Gaby is a monthly advice column featuring what I'm wearing/eating/reading/thinking. Part 1 of this column is Ask Gaby, in which I answers a question from a reader. In Part 2, I provide tips and tricks for life at this moment. Email me to submit an anonymous question that will potentially be answered in a future post. 

 

 

On my reading list: Transformed by Birth, The Childbearing Year, Plant Spirit Communication 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Enter, Sunshine - A playlist for you to celebrate the launch of Sun Sessions with the world. Songs that feel like sunshine. Listen on shuffle. 

 

Joni Mitchell - Since Joni isn't on Spotify and my record player from high school is out of commission, I've been listening to her music on Youtube and even though it's still digital it feels a little more analog. 

 

I felt hesitant to share a list of items that I'm trying not to purchase because it feels so damn good to have less and not to shop…but alas I also use Instagram…therefore there are items that sometimes pass through my mind and get their little tentacles planted in there. Here are the items that I think “I need” right now. 

 

Bodha Vibration Perfume Oil - These are special

Sun Sessions are Gaby’s version 1-on-1 coaching. They are deeply nourishing, encouraging, and held in a loving supportive container. Designed to be a grounding spot to come back to love and homeostasis wherever you are.

 

It is Gaby’s deepest desire to inspire and guide you to creating your own JUICY, MAGNETIC life, full of presence, love, and joy. Where you trust your intuition and inner-divinity as Truth and connect to your own very special magic in the world.

 

Each session begins with connecting over where you are and what is coming up for you, and where you want to be / what you want to be moving towards. We intuitively create a 1-3 month plan to aid in these shifts all with gentle loving support and accountability provided. Sessions are held over FaceTime and include custom digital downloads templates and worksheets.

 

We close with a 3-card Tarot Reading to clarify and solidify your path and connection to your Highest Self and Intuition.

 

Sessions are Reiki and Mindfulness-informed, and followed up with a detailed email list of resources and recommendations.
