Holiday update

Featured here: my obsidian arrowhead.

I purchased it at a crystal shop named @shinythingsforshinypeople in Austin after @monicanaglerspaces telling me about an oracle card called obsidian sword that was about speaking our truth. The shop is also where I met my new friend Whitney, but more about that later πŸ˜‰

As I’m saying this, I realize the arrowhead represents both of these beautiful women and my transformational time in TX.

Ironically, Whitney called me tonight and said she missed me and we got to catch up for a few minutes. I joked that I’d taken a “frequency hit” since returning to the panhandle, but also that I’m more grounded here. I said that I know this is the place for me for now, and I really am glad to be home πŸ₯°

It’s always going to be a little trade-off for me, I think, as I find cities to be very activating and expansive.

I want to see and do everything and will almost run myself into the ground if im not careful. I am so grateful for my time in Austin, but I knew it was time to reign it in. It feels a little bit like being in time-out, but also maybe a relief on some level πŸ™ƒ

My energy in FL is more conducive to doing my purpose work in a structured way, and having a productive daily routine, etc πŸ€“

. ..blah blah blah πŸ˜‚

Sidenote: this is not about gratitude. Of course I am grateful for FL. It is beautiful and has really cool people.

This is about me being used to living near larger cities and appreciating the diversity they offer. Also, I’ve moved around so much in the past few years that it’s almost harder to not move at this point! Perhaps I am renewing my vows with FL right about now πŸ˜…

In the spirit of re-engaging with my community, I signed up for a yoga class and a sound meditation event later this week and couldn’t be more excited πŸͺ·βœ¨οΈ

Happy holidays everyone, wherever this finds you πŸ™
