It’s weird how random shit like this sometimes shows up exactly when we need to hear it. I’m up against a life-altering choice (do I take the job?) and I’m terrified. Thinking about Parallel Amanda is a good way to look at it.
P.S. I love Alternate Timeline Melissa standing behind you. I notice all the subtle stuff you do to the logo/cover picture on these. Right up my creative alley.
Love this post. It also reminded me of an article I read recently (somewhere between the beginning of the year and now...) about language. How our language has defaulted to “violent” terms in so many ways. Nailed it, crushed it, killed it, destroyed it, grind it out... we have these terms that mean we succeeded, but they are all violent. And when pressed, it’s challenging to think of positive non-violent words to replace them! There’s an old adage about if you consider yourself a hammer, everything looks like a nail. Since reading that article, I have been aware of the “violent” words that I default to. It’s an interesting exercise.

Meanwhile, I will do some connecting with Alternate Timeline Kris and see what she has to say. Right now, I am just STUFFING myself with garbage, and then looking in the mirror like, “Hmm, I wonder why my body feels so out of control?!?” WHO KNOWS? THE ANSWER IS A MYSTERY.

In other news, I started on the estrogen patch yesterday! WOOOOOOOOOOO!
I am here for this content!! Love it. Hoping you might be open to sharing more about your visualization practice and how newbies can get started. I often get frustrated with visualization exercises because I don’t see anything. Just a blank screen 📺 going on up there. I do believe in messages from ourselves/universe/spirit... I need to figure out how best to hear mine.
This is exactly what I needed today. I’ve been thinking a lot recently about when you shared this initially, and trying to listen to my parallel self. Why do we always roll our eyes at her at first?!
This is so good! It’s easy to get caught up in the mundane and not having enough energy- but slowing down and doing little things to “allow” resting times is something so amazing.
This was a well-written and profound way to understand yourself and what you need. I love this and I love to see what others do to “get out of that funk.” I could use this!!!

Ooooh, this was so good. Thank you!
Your post was such a powerful reminder to keep asking myself what do I really need in this moment. Thank you!

I’m going to give this (asking, that is) a try. It sometimes seems that the answers are so close!
