My friend Julia and I were just talking about how we value the truth from men even when it’s uncomfortable or not to our preferences. And she said something that really stuck. She said (paraphrasing) that there’s a difference between the women who say they want the truth but can’t actually handle it and those who have attuned their systems to truth and can therefore receive it. And I think it’s important to remember that it is a 2 part process. Being able to receive the truth as it is requires work. It is a process of self attunement. It’s one thing to want it, but another to handle it. And also, important for men to know that when many women say they want it but react poorly, it’s not because they lied, it’s because they have not yet done the work to be able for receive and hold it. Desire is one thing. Preparing the vessel for it is another.

I have heard men complain about the fact that they will match with women on dating apps and send them a message and the women will often not respond. Let me offer something: If your opening message is asking a woman: how her weekend is going how her evening is going what she’s up to this weekend/ evening Or any other dry toast question that one would ask a friend where there is already an established relationship, you are severely hurting your chances. She does not want to tell Matt, 37, what she’s up to right now. Because you know what she’s up to? Probably lying on her couch scrolling through hundreds of men trying to find one iota of heat between her legs. Tell her why you want to get to know her. Express your intentions, desires or what it felt like to see her profile. And if you can’t because you just quickly swiped and you’re not actually that interested, go play a video game instead.

I’m seeing a number of people close to me rely on chat gpt too much when it comes to their spiritual and emotional health. And when I say too much, it’s because I’m watching a specific type of neuroticism start to happen. The kind that disconnects them from their soul and creates a mental world that is inorganically coded. It is dangerous and dark. We do not need all the answers. We need to live. We need to feel. And we need to remember our own biological intelligence. This addiction to understanding is the thing that will take us further from our souls. It is where we don’t understand that God can actually show us miracles. It’s where spiritual evolution actually happens.

Tidbits from my 2016 journal: “I remember as a kid LOVING art. I used to be a decent singer in music class. I used to make hundreds of videos. I used to dance. I also had this urge to act. I also loved making slideshows and movies. When I think now to what I could even do creatively, I don’t know! It all seems quite unattainable.  I also used to write my own stories. Wow, I did it all. I hope these workshops help me find what my creative passion is.” I want to take her hand and give her a big hug. I want to tell her that ten years later her creativity will be the lifeblood of her work. That she willl write stories and poetry online where over 700 people sign up to read them. That she will dance all the time. That her voice will be played daily across the world through a meditation app and she will have people writing often about the impact on their life. I want her to know it will look nothing like she is imagining. That she will start guiding movement experiences for people’s liberation and expression and she will have never seen anything like it before it happens. That she will create her own path. I want to tell her to keep trusting. To keep living. That her heart will get broken and it will be the best thing that ever happens to her. And that ten years later, she will be so herself, that her life will reflect it in every moment.

Bringing the gift of winter right into your hearts, the best way I know how.

Our pond has been looking glorious over the last couple weeks and it was calling my name. But we’d have snow then melting and a few days above zero which made it look amazing but also had me think it wasn’t thick enough. Well, yesterday was so cold I thought, “I gotta go test it and see” It was PERFECT. I got my dad out to come safety watch, put on my skates and was a kid again. 2 hours later we were hit with a blizzard and it was buried. I am always reminded to make moves on those nudges I get, even if I’m the only one who wants to explore it. Life moves fast. Windows of opportunity close. Go play. ❄️

In my morning element. GM everyone ❄️
