The last few days have been hard, emotionally and mentally.

My mini me, my inner child, my wounded warrior needed to be consoled and loved.

So, I loved her.

I loved her a lot. We went to the park, we slept in, we cried, we had burritos, we sat in the sun, we went for walks, we cried, we watched TV, we ate chocolate, we snuggled with the dog, we cried and by last night I was all cried out.

That’s grief.

And it needs to be released.

It needs to be honored.

It’s also how I protect myself, my emotions, and my energy. When it’s needed, I clear my schedule and give myself the time. I have learned over the years, that if I neglect these basic needs, they build up into overwhelming grief and mourning, sickness, chronic fatigue, insomnia, PTSD, anxiety – and it’s much harder to deal with all those things while running a business.

And I know this because I had been juggling all those illnesses (and many not mentioned), my business, and client work for a long time. Then I decided ENOUGH! I’m not doing this to myself anymore.

So this weekend, with my cleared schedule, I gave myself peace, grace, space, rest and multiple energy clearings.

Today I woke up feeling that warrior goddess energy emerge with new perspective.

I’m ready to step in again. Step into my life and my business.

We are powerful! Even on the days we feel defeated or deflated and contracted or constricted, we are able to hold all of that in one hand AND in the other we hold our expansion and growth, our deepest yearnings to become our best self, and our vision for the future.

Love yourself through it all!

You are powerful!

You are a goddess warrior!
