I know it's been a long time since my last monthly update. The last few times I tried writing one, it didn't feel authentic. And I don't like to share content that feels forced.
But today's just flowed right through me. Here it is...
Things I am noticing
How unaccepting and intolerant I can be when I feel righteous about my beliefs, opinions and perspectives. I have been finding myself disconnecting from others when my need to be right becomes the most important thing. I am trying to evolve this part of me by becoming more curious and asking more questions. This requires me to truly listen so I can understand the other person, and man oh man has that been challenging. This is especially hard when my righteousness is led by fear. So I am trying to challenge myself to trust that no one is wrong or right because everyone is speaking their truth. This helps me hold a loving and compassionate space for whatever needs to be expressed while I trust (and pray) that we evolve to a higher collective consciousness.
Something new I created
The morning ritual of a working mom. I wrote a feminine perspective of my own morning ritual for a course my hubby and I are co-creating this summer - click here for more details (it is 50% off until EOD today).
Books I am reading
Women who run with the wolves and Meeting the shadow. These books are blowing my mind and I think I am finally understanding how archetypes work and what a healthy feminine and masculine dynamic looks like.
Something unique about this summer
Our kids asked to stop all activities this summer and we listened. We have been enjoying a lot of outdoor play and indoor cuddles. We have been very intentional about who and what we spend our time on by detoxing from the societal pressures of being "busy", especially with things that don't align with our values and genuine needs at this moment in time. This has helped us understand each other's unique emotions, tiggers and needs even better. It has also brought up unexpected discomfort within me. It's made me realize how our ability to feel joy and fulfillment in doing "nothing" and just "Be-ing" is such a precious, creative and expansive skill that is sadly becoming extinct.
Something I want to celebrate
Pinky!!! My business partner, Pinky, has really shined her light brighter than ever this year. Her numbers are back to pre-covid AND she is teaching at three new locations - Pasadena, Ontario & Diamond Bar. Her ladies cardio classes in La Cañada are increasing in numbers (and joy) by the minute. Varun's Hip-Hop classes are the new craze in La Cañada and Pasadena. My heart is just so full seeing her thrive, especially with the knowing that more kids, youth, teens and ladies get to feel her love and magic for dance.

Warmly,
