An observation …
The amount of people I know about to go on work leave/quitting long-held jobs to travel, are stepping away from current professional pursuits to pursue more aligned interests, or are awaiting for answers that will determine big & upcoming life transitions, is quite something. Chalk it up to the start of a new season or the recent blue moon, but change is certainly in the air.
A mantra…
“You are exactly where you need to be”
A thought…
My maternal lineage & I are no strangers to spirits sightings & encounters. The most recent one was witnessed by not one, but two of us. Good luck trying to convince generations of women that they didn’t see what they saw.
Recent favorites…
Powdered Rose Herb by Anima Mundi Herbals. Oh, the skin compliments you will receive.
Long WhatsApp voice notes. Because if they can’t almost be categorized as mini-podcasts, then what’s the point?
The power of a single photo. From historical mug shots to dare I say it, Benito’s recent mirror selfie. We are truly not worthy.
Until the next roundup,
BESITOS
