When they try to gaslight you,
pour that gas on your own fire.

Alchemize.

Burn brighter.

If You Aren't Saying What You Want It's your fault.

Up now on my Substack

Gave this to my writer's group yesterday:

If you want to know why you're stuck, try asking these with compassionate curiosity

What are you most afraid of other people finding out about you?

Where is that held in your body?

What needs to happen to release it?

Musk's Dept. of Government Efficiency Cuts Position of Vice President The move eliminates an unnecessary government employee.

JD Vance will be reassigned as a used Tesla salesman.

Keep returning to love.

Bring all the emotions directly to the heart.

You can be angry and connected to your heart.

You can be grieving and resting in your heart.

And no, "they" don't deserve your love.

But you do.

@raeserafina.bsky.social is my go-to astrologer because archetypal astrology makes much more sense to me.

More than an understanding of transits and chart information, I get the info needed from a reading to embody the energies and balance the paradoxes, making life so much easier to navigate.

Our bodies need winter.

If you're feeling sluggish it could be a simple call to cocoon.

Let yourself do the bare minimum for a few days or weeks.

If you're an overachiever notice how your bare minimum is other people’s full out.

Rest.
Become snow.

Truly bizarre how the media stopped talking about how shitty and batshit nuts Hegseth, Kash Patel, RFK Jr and Tulsi were since the shitty, batshit nuts Felon 47 started threatening Canada, Greenland, and the Panama Canal.

STAY FOCUSED. 🤨

Imma need some of you to think about thriving out of spite. I had big plans for 2025 and I’m definitely not gonna pre-derail them for likes of Elin and Tromp. I’m getting more involved. Loving harder. Writing hornier. Having more fun. I’m gonna be so kind to my neighbors, bitch.

Was Agriculture the Worst Mistake in the History of the Human Race? Did it solve scarcity or create it?

The Handmaid's Tale is a good book. But did you know that there's a book written by a Black woman about a post-apocalyptic Earth heavily affected by climate change and societal decline. The book was published in 1993, but is set in 2024 following a presidential election 👀 #BookSky #BlackBookSky

Why do you write?

Why do you want to write?

What motivates you to put pen to paper - hands to keyboard?

To sort things out?
Locate intuition?
Be understood by others?
For attention?
A safe space for feels?
To be on the best seller list?

I write because I can't not write.

How about you?

'Viruses Are Our Friend'— 10 Off the Wall Video Clips from RFK Jr. Resurface on Bluesky Past comments include denying AIDS and calling vaccinated children "damaged"

A frustrating thing for me right now is the media narrative that RFK Jr is just an “anti-vaxxer” when he has said so many crazy things about other stuff over the years. We compiled 10 nutty clips on various topics, which still barely scratches the surface. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

The louder the noise gets, the more imperative the decision to step into the eye of the hurricane.

Seek the stillpoint.

In the last 5 years you have overcome at least 1 problem.

1. What is the problem?
2. What was life like before?
3. What is life like now?
4. Identify the steps you took.
5. Now teach it to others.

You have more wisdom than you know.

Time to share it.

😜😂😱

Ending procrastination is faster when you approach it with the energy of compassionate curiosity.

Maybe you've noticed shaming yourself doesn't work?

ALL behavior has a purpose.

How is procrastination trying to keep you safe?

Answer that and watch your motivation rise.

Do what brings you to life or chuck it all in a dumpster and go work at Target.

Going through my offers to explain them to my coach
has made it clear I've been hanging onto topics out of "should" rather than passion.

Ugh.

I say no to should.
