Hello Loves,
I feel like the Universe has been inviting me, not so gently, into being more connected with my community lately. Almost every hint, nudge and sign has been pointing me towards being more visible and to serve in a new way. I wish I could say that this side of things is easy for me but it’s not. My nature is to skulk, to be small, to hide away in the corner. Don’t get me wrong I like to do my job and I hope to do it well but then I like to take a step back and run away. A calling greater than my habit to “keep things status quo” has been peculating. I truly want to use what gifts I have and also what I’ve learned through my work and to gather them on a platform to help my community. I want to create a space to reflect, find and live your truth.
I’ve started small, easing my way into more visibility with daily videos on my instagram and the response has been instant. Next I will reboot my youtube channel because some people are already asking for more long form breakdowns of spiritual concepts and then I’m going to lean into a Patreon community. I want to create a space for those who are truly seeking the depth and power of their own light. I think I have the experience. I’ve sat in front of people who have been in the deepest, darkest heartbreak for the last 30 years. That’s given me an empathy and more than a few insights into being on this planet that I think it might be useful to share.
Of course I want to do all of this slowly. To build gradually so that I don’t burn out and to make sure that I create systems of connection that build and offer my work in ways that can truly help. My old pattern is to throw everything but the kitchen sink at my new plans leading to an inevitable burn out and general dissatisfaction at what I’m creating. My new, more seasoned understanding tells me to keep leaning a little bit at a time into the change. You all know from my weekly newsletters that I am a huge advocate of taking small steps. I believe in the power of them, I believe in where they take you and what they can reveal in you. Don’t get me wrong I love big dramatic change too but even in that, when you look back in hindsight, most of that big change is just the build up, the tipping point of a long history of smaller more diligent choices.
I want to serve you. I want to serve your spirit. I want to make sure that you have the tools to metabolise life in a way that serves you and all those you are connected to. I want to uplift. I want to surrender to the light inside of me and be carried into this new connection between us. I know that there is a magic inside of you, something bright and brilliant that I think I can help you unlock. At the very least I think I have enough experience to point you in the right direction. Your joy is my joy. I believe in cross pollination. I believe that everyone can win and someone’s success doesn’t diminish yours. I believe in the multitude of different perspectives and I believe I have something to offer.
I will be writing more to you over the next few months. I will keep my monthly newsletter going but I will also be hanging out here as I build the other spaces. Changes are happening. This site is growing and I hope that what I am about to offer can help you.
Speak soon,
Big Love
