Often, it takes courage *not* to smile, *not* to give in to the societal expectation of happiness, to just BE with the moment, to feel your feelings, to allow them to be… whatever they are.

This is me, back in early April, contemplating if I wanted to risk myself scaling the 3rd peak of Olomana. Because of the gale-force winds, my friend and I decided not to. When we returned to Honolulu, we heard a story of someone who had died on the mountain the very day before. This person went to the 3rd peak, which was clearly a hazardous thing to do. The 1st and 2nd peaks were mild in comparison!

Trust your instincts. And follow your heart. But be sure to really listen to every part of yourself, BE with the moment, and reflect in gratitude. Even though we couldn’t scale the 3rd peak safely, the first two were magnificent and humbling.

I ask myself: What could be more POWERFUL than joyful, RADIANT creativity? ️

I feel the answer is nothing. I’ve been reflecting on all of the places I’ve been this year, like these glimpses of the #WaikikiAquarium, and all of the places I have yet to explore, like the French Riviera, and I hold such gratitude 💗

Reviewing my 2022 journal entries recently was a real trip, and I came across an entry where I’d listed the happiest moments of my life. All of them had 1 element in common: Connection. Whether it was with a newborn (my brother) or a beloved one. In those moments I felt at ONE with the universe and ideas; and I swam within inspiration and remembered who I was. We’re getting back to that now.

And this year, I’m feeling a new story coming thru that, in the telling, I hope it helps You tap into this energy too ️

Powerful new Ascendant Podcast episode today, all about #FemininePower, belief systems, and WITCHINESS! And I trust you know how to find the podcast ASCENDANT by now →

Rachel has a fascinating story of growing up between Germany and America, consciously deciding to leave her religion, researching paganism, tapping back into her grandmother’s wisdom, and lots of personal growth. Trigger warning: if you don’t like witches or non-western religion, you may want to skip this one. Also: What IS a witch? We explore this, and much more, in this juicy, often hilarious, conversation. 😂 (This is also the first episode wherein me reading the Dictionary could get me in trouble. #WitchFish)

We delve into beliefs being like software that run in the mind. Can you judge a belief system from the outside looking in? How to leave a scarce or narrow view? What does spiritual maturity mean? We explore that, and more, in this episode.
