I've been thinking about control vs. surrender lately.

Control makes my mind feel safe, but often feels like gripping and tightness in my body.

Whereas surrender can be scary for my mind, but feels like ease and softness in my body.

That Manifesting Generator + Cross of the Sleeping Pheonix urge to pivot and start over--again.

Only this time I know I'm not really starting over because I get to bring alllll the experience and knowledge with me. And I'm not feeling like pivoting is flaky or a failure.

We've been avoiding all American products when shopping. Cancelled Amazon Prime and Disney+ -- working to keep our dollars in Canada as much as possible. #elbowsup

But it's this crazy detainment and deportation shit that's got us cancelling all travel to or through the US, period.

It's been a tough week. But I had a client tell me this afternoon how much my social media support is helping her stay in touch with her business and marketing while she has a lot going on in her life and honestly, it made my day.

I'm bored of the same old same old ways of marketing.

I'm bored of how I've been marketing!

It's why I'm not showing up to talk about my business and my offers as consistently as I have in years past.

I don't know what the answer is yet but it isn't going to be doing more of the same.

The large majority of my clients are American so I've always charged in USD (when I lived in France and now in Canada).

Clients could always reach out to pay in CAD (or in EUR when I was based in France) but I never explicitly put that on my website.

Today I changed that.

My kindle says I'm 47% of the way through Onyx Storm -- it's SO GOOD, I don't want it to end and I cannot stop.

It's 10pm local time and the Onyx Storm midnight release party starts in an hour!!!!!

Caffeinating and binging the Fantasy Fangirls podcast to stay awake 😅

Some wild energy out there this weekend 😅

BEYOND excited that at midnight tmrw we will finally get our hands on Onyx Storm!!!

Planning to hermit Tues & Wed and block the real world out except for freaking out, theorizing and commiserating with the rest of the Fantasy Fangirls discord community.

Yes, we are halfway through January.

AND if you still aren't feeling the New Year vibes, cut yourself some slack.

The calendar New Year is completely arbitrary.

The Human Design New Year starts Jan 21st.

The astrological New Year starts Mar 31.

Your personal New Year starts on your birthday. 🥳

Can we talk about this quote that's been living rent-free in my head lately?

"Self-regulation is rebellion in a world designed to dysregulate you. Choosing rest, calm, and connection is radical when society glorifies burnout."

Going to my local Onyx Storm midnight release next week and I cannot wait.

My husband says I'll never make it to midnight (I'm usually in bed by 9:30pm!) but he doesn't understand my excitement to return to this world.

I've already blocked Tuesday off work!

Anyone else??

He reached across the table and kissed me. My heart jolted as I realized I felt nervous for the first time that evening.

This was no longer just an experiment, a potential funny story to share with the girls over brunch.

I suddenly wanted to make a good impression.

I *liked* him, liked him.

I wrote this just after Iron Flame release last year and it hit me in the gut:

"Iron Flame is all I can think about and it’s been a week.
Love how great stories can take over our imagination.

And the FUN of inhaling that book whole last Tuesday, ooh my sacral was on fire with satisfaction.

Realizing my knee jerk desire to fix other people's feelings (shadow of the undefined solar plexus) rather than just sitting with them is related to why I don't often share my own feelings as vulnerably as I'd like: not wanting to be a burden that someone else feels like they have to fix.

We were lying in a literal field of wild blueberries, making out.

And the hopeless romantic in me was squealing as I realized my teenage dream for a summer romance was really happening.

He was a good kisser. His lips were soft. He tasted like blueberries.

My 6 year old tonight at bedtime was like, "Wait! I've got it."

And then he said:

"[9 year old brother] likes screens.
Kitty likes food.
Daddy likes working.
Mommy likes chilling with her book.
And I like making crafts and lego!"

Lol. He's figured us all out 🤣😅

It's been two years since I started a consistent habit of lifting weights 3-4 times per week.

I haven't lost any weight but I've gained so much muscle.

I can bench press, squat and deadlift so much more than when I started.

I'm no longer intimidated in the weight room.

When I was first introduced to Human Design in 2017 I dismissed it.

The "system" sounded like complete BS to me.
