Happy 2023!! It's been quite a minute since my last newsletter and blog post. I hope the year has started off with hope, clarity, and a sense of renewed enthusiasm.

Today, I simply offer a journal prompt for you. Take 10 minutes and just write. Don't worry about what comes out. Write "blah, blah, blah" until a thought pops up and see if you can just let it flow, without trying to analyze it or fuss over it. Let it come out! Journaling can be a tremendously powerful processing and manifesting tool. You can begin with a prompt/specific focused question, or you can just simply write!

What do I WANT? What brings me JOY?

What am I PASSIONATE about?

Here's a short snippet from one of my recent journal dumps. Perhaps it will give you some more meat to chew on and find your own flavor ;)

For me, I am most passionate about making the most of this one precious live, not taking it for granted; for overcoming the hard shit, healing from turbulent portions of the journey, embracing the lessons, and living one’s best self. Take control, stop playing small, own who you are, be it, do it.

For this, you must get in touch with and come to know who you are. Learn who you really are. Learn how to take control back into your own self, your own being. This world is what you make of it; it is up to you.

You are here for a reason. You have a purpose; you are important; you are worthy, valuable, and loved. We are all connected, and we need to honor and nurture that connection, love each other and live consciously.

We have already established who will show up in our lives via our soul contracts: Lifetime, reason, or season. Even those who do bad to you, thank them for doing their job – for showing up as the bad guy to teach you your good, to push you past some edge so that you learn and take action, grow. There is a place for everyone. In this dualistic world we live in, there must be a little of every one on the spectrum – so that we can see or be supported by good and bad, so that we can see the light and the dark. It takes the spectrum to see the juxtaposition.

Gratitude. Patience. Faith. Trust. Surrender. Love... and so life continues. Another day, another page ❤️

Love always,
Jess
