Pause Practices in October

What I Did to Pause:

Grabbed dinner at La Maya in Hellertown, PA with a few lady friends mid-week. Not easy, we made it happen for the nachos and the convo.
Had a really loving moment for myself and my products! I took an hour to really go through my notes while I was developing The 24 Oracle Deck. Pausing gave me a moment to celebrate that process, the writing, my team of editors & designers. Celebrating is pausing.
I went to bed at 8pm on a Saturday night, so divine. Highly recommend, even as a night owl.
I am listening to Adi Goldstein’s soothing beats while driving, working, giving reiki.
Took a moment to read a recommendation about a really complicated family unit from Magic and Mondays. TY:)

Pausing through Connections:

An adult friend: Nicol Natale created a Menopause roller after I asked for a little treat for my retreaters this spring. Nicol and I were reiki students together turned friends turned Reiki Masters. Her emails light up my heart, I pause when her name is in my inbox. I LOVE LOVE LOVE females who support each other.

My girls: Sloane & Nora are now 9 & 11. Things are starting to move at a different pace for the middle schooler, including a Halloween dance. Last weekend we were at The Reeds we shared our travel wishes & dreams for 2025. It felt really fun to hear they loved glamping, want to check out the Grand Canyon and explore more together. Booking a RV campground for Summer ‘25 now.

Strangers who inquired: I met with 2 “wellness” women and said NO to an offer to collaborate. The connection was thoughtful but not for me. Saying no politely can feel incredibly clear and gave me immediate space.
A Soul Sister: Talking to Kristine Gardner, my all time cheerleader and really close friend, about GIFTING a 75 minute co-coaching session. Two Sag’s are better than one, right?

Practical Pause Research I’m Doing for Us/Me:

Research: Is there a digital journaling pen that would save me time to transcribe my journals and give me that hand/brain info. Considering this one.

Using my pendulum check out my vibration and my clients. email me and I’ll use it on a yes/no question for you.
Researching benefits of Alkaline water. I’m unsure about this.
