july 2025
dear friends,
i feel like digging roots this season. committing to what's right in front of me. building the foundation for the rest of my life. i'm working again, practicing again, and remembering that freedom isn't the absence of structure, but the clarity of devotion.
june reflections
highlights ✨
- went deep on a 5-day enlightenment intensive, working with the question “Who am I?”
- spent a sweet weekend in grand marais, exploring and resting at a cabin
- started working again, helping a crypto AI project before their launch. it's actually feeling aligned, for now
recent reading
- Cat's Cradle (3.5) – a fairly amusing but sad worldview that laughs at our meaning-making and then joins in on the necessary folly, because without stories who would we be?
- Demystifying Awakening (3.5) – full of conviction and loving inspiration, there is a path here, now, and you may follow it
- The Integral Vision (3.5) – good intro to Ken Wilber's work
- currently: 4-Hour Chef – oh thank god i needed this
sincere gratitude to: 🙏
- Garrett, for the clarity of your compassion and the earnest desire to help
- Jade, for teaching me so much about honesty, connection, self-care
- Ash, for seeing me deeply and holding me in my full expression
and sincerely thank you to everyone who reached out last month, it means so much.
