It’s been a rough few weeks—too much going on, a wave of self-loathing and imposter syndrome, and cloudy days that suck my energy completely away.
Throughout, however, I have mostly held it together and not (yet) destroyed any relationships, I think…
Today I sit filled with gratitude for my broad and dense support network and all of the FUCKING BRILLIANT AND AMAZING people who surround me with love, light, integrity, inspiration, and hope.
This too shall pass.
There is much darkness around us. And light also.
Please use your candle to light and relight others’ when they get blown out.
And seek those who will reliably relight yours.
That is the only way to save us all.
Healing Through Connection 
I have to be so intentional these days in finding light. Things are just exhausting right now and it’s too easy to feel that weight. I’ve been listening to the song “Heavy” by Birdtalker (https://youtu.be/OdrSSRYgfVk) and keep humming “Leave what’s heavy behind.” It’s meditative and a reminder to put down the burdens for a bit and rest. Hope you find some lightness soon, Cathy.

Ah Catherine, these times…It’s even harder if there is personal tragedy or struggle. It can almost obscure the light. Thanks for the reminder and please know that I am rooting for you and all the light keepers. May you know much love and tenderness and hope…
