Hey loves…
How are you? How’s your heart?
I’ve had a birthday.
I celebrated another trip around the sun, and you’d better believe, when you know death as intimately as I do, you REALLY learn how to celebrate life.
I’m nipple-deep in book edits + while I do love the edit phase, they really should call it, ‘I’m just re-writing the whole mother-loving thing’ phase, because that’s what I’m doing, except for when I’m not, which is now, + then I bake.
These are a made-up recipe, I made them for the first time a few weeks ago + they were a triumph, so as a pre-edit love-snack, I’ve made them again.
I lovingly call cacao, cardamon + pecan Sablés d’amour - essentially they’re a biscuit - but everything sounds more romantic + Venusian in French, doesn’t it?!
Now where do I sign up for Bake Off?
This week in the SHE Power Collective, we pulled the Tigress from the SHE Sirens Oracle + I for one NEEDED her.
She’s a call to trust yourself.
To trust your timing.
To practice nuance + discernment in all places + spaces in your life.
Add to that, we had a Venus + La Lune Cosmic Hook Up in Libra yesterday, which set the tone for the next 4 weeks, which is ultimately to:
speak what’s on your heart WITH heart + to create harmony + capacity in your body + being so that you can enter all convoa +situs with compassion - this doesn’t mean tame your flame, or that you should take BS from others, it’s you, in your body, in your power, aligned with your own wisdom + knowing, creating space for all opinions + possibilities + using discernment to decide if, and how, you respond.
I feel like the biggest invitation right now, is for us to really get stretch-y with our capacity to hold the polarities - to not shut down or constrict in the face of war, terror + outrage AND to stay open + choose love + to become love in action.
That’s not a meme, that’s my truth - in the knowledge + knowing that your truth may be completely different from mine.
ACTIVATE + AFFIRM IT
As I do every Friday, to evoke the BVE - Big Venus Energy - love, worth, beauty + sensuality, I share the Activate + Affirm from this week’s card pull in the SHE Power Collective
so yes, this week, our card pull was the Tigress card from the SHE Siren oracle.
When you pull this card, SHE reminds us of who we are when we remove the heaviness of other people's expectations of who we should be + what we should say + do, how they would want us to be + what they would want us to say + do.
Because underneath all of THAT?
Resides the Tigress. Rarrrrrrr.
The one who is fun, seeks pleasure + adventures, is motivated + focused + knows EXACTLY what she's here to do.
The 'nice girl' in you MAY wince as you remember.
Why?
That good/nice girl WILL always want you to be safe.
She's the part that society has hypnotised the hardest, that gets fear-filled that you might dare to 'rock the boat', speak up + out, be your fullest expression without apology.
AND SHE KNOWS that you/we have been dying, healing + grieving + re-sourcing + regulating our nervous systems so that we can reclaim our health + strength + power for the rebirth that comes next.
What would it feel like to trust yourself to make the right moves on your terms + in your own time?
To Activate + Affirm the Friday Feels + evoke the BVE in your body + being, put one hand on your heart and the other on your belly and repeat after me:
I trust myself to make the right move. On my terms. In my own time.
NOTE: I’ve even made them sharable, so that you can save/add/share on your social media, or save it to your own device so you see it daily as a heart nudge to repeat, activate + affirm for BVE!
BVE QUOTE OF THE WEEK
"As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live." — Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
