Whistle while you work
Hello!
I’ve been out of school for decades, and September still has that Back-to-School energy.
I pull a tarot card every morning as my daily dose of therapy before getting sucked into my day. Last week, I pulled Eight of Pentacles, a card that captures September's vibe.
In Tarot for Change, Jessica Dores weaves modern therapeutic practices into her interpretation of the cards. I love Jessica's take on the Eight of Pentacles:
He's hammering away at a pentacle, which he's made and replicated numerous times…symbolizing the monotony of the "repetitive meditation" that mastery requires…representing the often mundane and unglamorous work that's needed to nourish the roots of new growth. Process is a word we encounter over and over again in the pentacles suit. To quote Clarissa Pinkola Estes, "The work is to keep doing the work."
Every outline, draft, and notes session feeds our roots so we can eventually reach for the fruit.
Here's how I'd like to help you nourish the roots of your work this month.
FREE Monday Co-Working Zooms
I'm hosting four FREE Monday morning Zoom co-working sessions starting Monday, September 9. The sessions will run from 8:45 to 11 AM PT. We'll begin our first 20-minute work session at 9 AM PT, with 5-minute breaks between sessions.
These sessions are an opportunity to kick off each week with some focused work and a supportive community. You can work on absolutely anything. It's your time. I will be working on my feature, so these sessions will help me as much as I hope they will help you.
You're welcome to come and go at any time during our sessions. You don't have to join all of them. Again, it's your time!
