Hi Friends!

I’m pausing my writing until October 2nd to give myself the space to be in ceremony.

I’m running around this morning to pack all the stuff I need to camp for a week. I don’t travel light, as always. So, instead of my typical musings, I’m gonna share some of the media I’ve been reading and listening to this week. If you like this, let me know!

Well, that’s all for today.

I’m in the mess of my process for ceremony right now, and I don’t have much good stuff to say. Maybe that's just what it looks like to transform: the peaks and valleys of self-growth and spiritual work. It’s knowing some things one day and absolutely nothing the next. It’s a constant learning journey.

It’s calling in the full range of the human experience. It’s what I signed up for, and it’s where I’m going.

Enjoy,
Val
