Before I jump into my letter to you today, just one quick announcement! I have ONE spot that has just opened up on my SOLD OUT Wellness Retreat (Oct 26-29) - if you're interested in snagging it, please email me ASAP!


I don't know about you but I've been feeling the deep need to be IN community these past several months -- like WITH people, in real life. Not via Zoom, not via social media.

The thing is, the signs that I need community don't always create the motivation to put me in community... 

Here's what I mean:

>> I have felt alone and isolated // which makes me stay alone and isolate more
 

>> I have felt depleted // which makes me feel like I don't have the energy to go out and connect 

>> I have felt overwhelmed and busy // which makes me feel like I don't have the time to anything other than what I'm already doing

>> I have felt disconnected // which makes me feel like I have forgotten that connection is possible

When the motivation (or lack thereof) seems to be working against the needs, I have discovered that I need to pay more attention to the signs of need more than what is motivating me... I need to pay more attention to what's calling me and less attention to what's shutting me down. 

And then I need to rely, sometimes, on sheer willpower to motivate an action.

This isn't always easy. I know. The energy it takes to work to fill the need doesn't always and immediately return to us. But a little bit does - perhaps just enough to put the effort in again... and again… which inevitably fills us more and more. 

So, today, I’m here to encourage you to listen to what you’re craving, needing, wanting, wishing for… and take one small action that moves you towards fulfillment of that thing. Don’t expect instant “results” but do stay motivated to do the work.

And, on that note, this Fall, there are so many ways to join me in community. Can't wait to be there with you.

FRIDAYS at The Well Collective - Asana, Pranayama & Meditation from 9-10:15am 

My monthly Saturday Sit is next SATURDAY (10/14) at The Yellow House! Join me for a 30-40 min guided meditation followed by time to receive guidance on experiences. Don't forget to register so I know you're coming.

And, last but definitely not least, I am now accepting applications for enrollment in the JANUARY Cohort of Small Group Coaching! Small Group Coaching is one of my absolute favorite ways to work with folks -- the shifts and growth and community that I see develop in these groups is incredible -- don't miss your chance to join one! If you don't see the answers to your questions below, please email me directly!

With Love,
