My heart feels so deep and so open right now--really in the best of ways--and my capacity to be with you is wide.
I have some words I'd like to offer regarding what we have witnessed around the results of the election-please leave or take any them.
The truth is, I've been tweaking this love letter for 3 days…because the energy, feelings, and visions I've been having as well witnessing in the external world…don't always translate the ways I wish.
Also, I don't have answers for you AND I do believe in honoring our feelings, having curious, open conversations, and from a bigger perspective, knowing we all want the best possible outcome with all of our needs and hopes fulfilled… for every living being deserves freedom and the right to exist as they are.
May we each give our humanness permission and grace as we, hopefully, take the next stepping stones in some form, together.
I know there are so many emotions flowing through right now--
Through ourselves (whatever that emotion may be)…
Through our communities…
Through the global world…
Even through the ancestors.
My heart and head are full of so much I wish to share, and want to offer space for you.
The truth is, many are feeling despair, heartbreak, grief, fear, sadness, anger…
Your feelings are so valid, and the most important thing that can happen right now is for you to allow yourself the space of what you need to feel everything. It's going to be really important to connect with your people. REALLY IMPORTANT. Check where and how you're spending your energy, and spend it in ways that are healing and fruitful for you.
I am with you, for I also grieve as a queer woman, am scared for my trans non-binary partner, LGBTQIA+ & BIPOC communities, and everyone's health care rights. Marginalized communities have already had a scary lived experience under Trumps last presidency--and people I'm close to personally and professionally who were impacted.
I have seen racism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, sexism, etc. that already unfortunately exist become worse. People have been given permission and emboldened to actively, violently act on their -isms and -phobias even more out in the open.
And many are elated, happy, celebratory…
I can understand how many feel relief and hope around this, and it's going to be really important to allow your people grieving to have their process SO we can move forward somehow. REALLY IMPORTANT.
As one of my dearest shared with me:
"Whether it's your neighbor, sibling, colleague, or dear friend celebration may not be their experience…begin to make space for their perspective or risk losing the integrity of that connection.”
(you know who you are--thank you for your wisdom!).
I love so many people, as I know you do. I'm interested in the ways we can keep connection, and of course there are boundaries for each person, too. This will be part of the big work for us so we can share in some common ground and keep CONNECTION.
The visions I keep receiving and feeling are that of really needing to meet each other--like meet each other with the most tenderness, compassion, open ears, soft hearts, and show up with all of our humanity in our hands IF that's available to you.
"Just like me, the next person wants to be loved, and is loved.
The next person wishes for peace.
The next person wants their right to exist equitably and freely.
The next person has grief and sadness as well as joy and pleasure.
Just like me…."
(this isn't a quote but an experiential from my teacher Coby to see that others are just like us)
Will this happen everywhere with everyone? NOPE--AND, is it possible to try? YES.
(I also want to acknowledge I totally get how this may not seem possible. It's not with some people--that's the truth.
It's ok if this doesn't speak to you…please continue to be in your process as needed!)
Because from this point the only way is forward….in BIG ways. I must also acknowledge that us white women have to be working through our shit and step up…in BIG ways.
Why do we choose patriarchy and how is it living in our systems?
There's a massive fucking reckoning we are starting to move through and it's all hands on deck--I can't tell you how serious I am about this.
If you are on this planet right now, it includes you.
How we choose to respond next will be everything.
THIS UP HERE⬆….
This is primary to understanding and holding each other. When we think we are separate from each other, when we slather ourselves in individuality, then we are in trouble.
The reckoning….the apocalypse…THIS IS IT.
We all must face what needs healing in the strongest sense, and hopefully, face it together.
Everyone will have their roles and places, for each persons gifts will be unique in how they will use them.
For me, I'm a Death Priestess, so my power is to hold these moments with the most tender love.
As a Death Priestess, I hold the hand of the labor back to spirit--back home to ourselves--and take the deep breaths aside you as we push.
As a Death Priestess, I can see the possibility for what comes in the “after life”.
What's your power? What's stirring deep within your belly?
I also invite you to examine what self leadership means to you. What do you value as a leader of self and in your communities?
If you've been following me since at least 2020, you may be privy to the consistent guidance over the years that 2024-2027 will be THE years of transition.
The energy of the time and the astrology of the time backs this up--and we are seeing these energies at play.
Please know things aren't written in stone…like I said, it's a matter of how we respond will be what steers this ship.
I did an IG live on 11/7 and highly recommend you check it out:)
Also, check out this informative blog post that also offers strategies, my dear friend and LMHC, Leah Constantz, just wrote titled
If you could use some TLC, a hug, a massage, or a reading, I have a few sessions avail in just ONE week at Sacred Well in Danvers--11/16, and again for 12/14.Please let me know asap if possible, and looking forward to being with you, if not there, via the ethers or in Noho<3
NO matter what happens, THIS is the moment of power, my loves. And, I believe, somehow dear Universe, I believe…. there is a way forward.
But first, take care of your bodies and nervous systems.
I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU….
