I keep making the mistake of speaking without a note. What a great read this is, it feels empowering to read what the writer has to say. 🙏✨️

You definitely need to fill your own cup to be able to give to other. I loved this, so well written, a joy to read 👏✨️

I really appreciate you stopping by and sharing this letter!

I always have a "wow" moment when someone says a piece resonated with them... because when I'm in the zone of writing - these letters sometimes feel like diary entries.

Cheers to us living out loud! :-)

I’m not even half way through this read and I’m in tears. 😭 let me gather myself and come back this is too on point right now! Especially with what I just messaged you saying this morning! I’m going to be reading this all day…I can already tell!

The way we're in sync sometimes is insane!

I'm preparing myself now to read your latest letters because I already know they are going to cause me to reflect and take trips down memory lanes.

What I enjoy about our friendship (one of the many things) is that we are watching each other enter our audacious era. Speaking our truths, shedding blocking beliefs, and embracing our authenticity.

I'm rooting for you!

I got goosebumps reading your comment! Mainly because it's so true, even with catching up throughout the week when our writings come out, they strike us like lightning every time. I agree we are definitely watching each other enter our audacious era while showing up in the world and taking up space! I love it so much and am grateful to have found a friend through this transition! Hell...you know I'm rooting for you!

This was beatiful.

Whenever I read posts like this I would think about getting into self-care more but the products, styles, or aesthetics I wanted or thought I needed weren't always avaialble, so I need to be available for myself.

This time I'm going to use graditude and ambition to make my vision board

Thank you

I resonated so deeply with this essay! Thank you for sharing. It’s so important that we stand firmly and proudly in our power and our authenticity.

Serving others and pursuing my own dreams are not mutually exclusive. Say it again for the people in the back. I am in this space heavy now. This means my day job does not get 100% of my time, energy, or creativity.
