My challenge this week is to better discern when I’m not moving from my essential self. Any emotion outside of joy or love is an indicator that I am not rooted into my essential self. So, when I do have feelings like anger, frustration, or fatigue, my challenge is to receive their wisdom and use said wisdom to return to… Read more →
Reconnection Challenge: Week 3 Essential Self–Again

The Reconnection Challenge: Week 2 Essential Self
This week, my challenge is to become more rooted into my essential self….um whatever that is. The trees around me describe it as their treeness.
