🌿 Feeling the Shift

Do you feel it too?

I know you’ve been feeling it. I sure have. The shifting energies of transformation. It hit us all like a hurricane a few months back around the transition into this new year – according to the Gregorian calendar – and we’ve been feeling the push and pull drag on for months. But it’s finally starting to ease up as we come out of eclipse season and planets are finally stationing direct.

We are feeling the forward movement on an energetic level – how cool is that?! Every day I wake, the soul feels just a little bit lighter, the sun seems just a little bit brighter, and my smile manages to get just a little bit wider.

Spring is upon us in the most literal, spiritual, and metaphorical sense.

🔥 Burning Old Skins

This card couldn’t be more fitting for this first post. Lately, I’ve been burning away so many old versions of myself, shedding the skins I outgrew long ago but kept clinging to—out of habit or fear.

Nearly every aspect of my life has been touched by change in the past few months – relationships, my career, my mentality. So many spaces that I didn’t even realize I was holding myself back, keeping myself shrunk and small, shaming myself. I didn’t come into this existence to play small though. Nothing about me has ever been small. I am a woman. I am fire. I am creation and creator.

That’s why I created this blog. To, first off, create something for the sake of creating—because something inside me was burning to create and I couldn’t quite figure out what. I’m a very crafty and creative person; creating has never been out of my wheelhouse—but with so many skins shed, my wheelhouse was starting to seem pretty barren. I wasn’t sure what to create or what medium to use.

💭 From Rut to Spark

To say I didn’t sit for a few days, whining and moaning about wanting to just do something but not knowing what and not actually doing anything, would be a lie. I did just that—like a 10-year-old complaining there’s nothing to do when in fact there is plenty to do.

I was a sap for a couple of weeks. I’ll admit it. Of course, hormonal cycles played into that as well, but I was really in a mental and emotional rut. Feeling lost in the tides, swimming against the current and getting no where.

I struggled for longer than my mind admits, because I’ve been feeling this for a little over a year now – yet the true drive to put something into action didn’t ramp up until about a month ago. But with all my typical creative outlets gone—yarn given away, dance hoops broken, art supplies lost over too many moves—I had to find a way to create something out of nothing, from within.

🌀 The Spark Becomes Something More

It started off as an idea, a way to marry the two things I’m passionate about: cannabis & fitness.

I’ve worked in the cannabis industry for over 4 years now, lift 5-6 days a week, and personally have blended the two into my life like a ritual – intentional, sacred and a little bit smoky. I know others out there have as well—many different people have been popping up online, across various platforms and socials, working to change the stigma.

But I soon noticed, as this idea for creating space began to grow, it needed to be so much more than simply weed and fitness.

Don’t get your joints in a twist though, there will still be plenty of that.

✨ Creating the Space I Needed

I realized this blog is my resurrection. It needs to show all parts of self.

Too often, everything is—or has been—divided down into smaller segmented pieces. Which is fine, a necessity. We need to first break it down to understand it. And just like in alchemy, once we’ve separated it, learned and grown in understanding, it’s time to pull everything back together to resurrect the most potent, highest, truest version.

That’s when this blog was born. Well, the truest idea of it anyway.

A space for me to share my lived experiences and gained knowledge with others in hopes it resonates and helps—even one person, no matter how big or small.

A space for others who feel all the feels and shifts on an energetic level, to sit, breathe and know they are not alone. You are not alone.

A space where girls who still want to feel cute but lift like Sam Sulek and blow down like Snoop Dogg can gather, feel seen and understood, and lift each other up.

🤍 You’re Invited to Build With Me

I’ve left comments open on posts in hopes you will engage—not only with me but with others—in a strong, supportive, and caring way.

Please be respectful to each other – I’m a girls’ girl and that’s the kind of space I want to create. We don’t always have to agree, but we can still be respectful and kind. We’re all just humans trying to figure out this thing called life anyways.

🔮 We Are Alchemists

It’s high time to come together and truly alchemize. –see what I did there–

Accept all parts of self that make us whole—no matter how soft or nitty gritty that part is—and burn everything that no longer serves you.

We are alchemists. We are resurrecting our truest, highest self that we’ve forgotten for so long. We are creating as we were always meant to do.

🌊 The Quiet Rising

As someone who has always been scared of being public facing—whether speaking, being on camera, or even working out in the free weights section of a Planet Fitness for my first time—I’m quickly learning it’s what we are scared of that we are often meant to do.

It’s almost like ironic poetry, that I feel called to open myself up so vulnerably to you all.

And then I see Yemaya, flowing and dancing across the card, reminding me that resurrection isn’t always loud or grand.

Sometimes it’s the quiet rising after a long cry.
Sometimes it’s the choice to hold myself gently after years of bracing.
Sometimes, it’s the moment I finally stop treading water and allow the current to carry me somewhere I couldn’t reach on my own—like right now.

I have no idea where creating this blog is leading me… but I’m surrendering to divine trust and my intuition and building the path as I go. There will be a lot more to come soon but for now…
