A LOT OF ENERGY IS BEST HEARD WITHOUT SAYING A WORD.`
This is gonna be quick and painless. I’ve been using daily silence time as a really powerful way to get answers to things that elude me during the day. Reason is - as a writer, most of the voices in my head enjoy a good quorum - and so do the people I engage with daily. Means a lot of energy is expended listening and telling. A cacophony - I tell ya! So, a likkle “shhhhhhhhh” goes a long way.
Insert deep thought here: “Quiet time issa must.”
1) Silence as Answers. As we head into the New Moon in Cancer Friday, using the energy of the Dark Moon today, Wednesday and Thursday and being at one with “shhhhhhhhhh" by resting, hydrating, and giving more fucks about yourself are super-clutch. Give yourself space to produce the next best version of you m’baby!
2) High Noons. Chile! One of my favorite things is connecting amazing people to amazing people. So, join me for “High Noons” 12PM ET Fridays on my HoodooJawn IG LIVE to meet new fwens, learn new tings and take a fucking break from many of all da tings. This week, Eroticka B, founder of Kultured Kandy - a judgment-free risque safe haven offering body waxing, vaginal steaming, sound bathing, and erotic candles and smell goods kicks it with me. Now, if you have not surmised, I’m YASSS team Yoni, and she is too, so let’s learn a ting, e boi?
3) Ancestor Said. Dreams and signs, signs and dreams came through like rolling fog, rainbow, then sky opening dawn. Overall…be soft and kind and take no shit. The thing is, spiritual bypassing is real AF, and focusing on the easy shit ain’t gonna prepare you for the less easy shit. My version of healing may include raging against the machine, working out, writing and cussin.’ Yours may include yoga, abstinence, dancing and painting. Your pal’s may include golfing, gardening, smoking, and whiskey. Thing is - we all gotta do our own work, and maybe it’s all about building brave spaces to dig deeper and stretch further, nah mean? In either case, let’s practice focusing on trusting our own gifts, shadows, and works.
Insert deep thought here: “Walking the walk will cause you to stumble, maybe even fall, but trust is the only way back home.”
