Ancient wisdom guides me each day, e.g., IChing, Tao, ancient yoga, or other sacred texts & rituals.
Today, it’s yin-feminine energy of stillness to balance noisy, aggressive energy. Helpful when colonization & patriarchy are so loud.

The OG Independence Day 1776, didn’t include many. Yet, the Declaration of Independence reminds us we define independence w/ community, self-love + independent voice. We are called to do so = safety & happiness of all.

What is a YINpreneur?
Do you ever wonder what I mean by YINpreneur™, yin-feminine or yang-masculine energy?
I thought about creating a video or blog post, then realized it may be more fun to start with a simple quiz.

RELEASING FEAR IN CHAOS
Hard to find peace. Some days feels impossible. Especially for empaths.
Turn off news, curate feeds, breathe slowly, deeply. Focus on exhale to release heavy feelings. Hate & fear drain. Kindness (ahimsa) for yourself & others (actions,thoughts,speech)
No goal just practice.

Navigate chaos with kindness & self-love 💜
#ahimsa yoga, Sanskrit = non-harm. This grounding brings peace & space to resist.
Do the work + pause & share kindness w/self. Even when accompanied by rightful anger.

Just pause, for a brief second and breathe.
There is not always a need for sitting meditation, deep thought or conversations, or BIG actions.
Simplicity can bring peace. Even if for a moment.

With all the chaos it's important to remember to simply pause and breathe! Take a nice slow, deep inhale, then match it with a slow exhale. If it helps, count silently to yourself for 4 counts on the inhale, then 4 counts on the exhale.

IS THERE AN ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF GENOCIDE? Living in a dystopian world. Exhausted by cognitive dissonance.
Since young I understood we can be both, Birkenstocks & Bergdorfs. I can love my Jewish friends & protest genocide. I AM WOMAN! I CAN BE ALL THINGS!! ✊🏽 ☮️
