Hello, divine human!
This week I spoke of things repeating and circling back into my life. Things repeating has been quite the theme. It reminds me of the magnificent Mr. Tom Hendrix who built a sacred site in honor of his great great grandmother, Te-lah-nay, who was the only documented person to walked back to her home after journeying on the Trail of Tears. Mr. Tom and his divine ancestor, Teh-lah-nay are their own video and story.
One thing Mr. Tom spoke of was how when he created the stone prayer circle, he had to build it 7 times. He laid each stone by hand, and then he would remove each stone as he had to start over because it ‘wasn’t right’. He explained that he later learned it was a clearing of 7 generations of his family. I always think of Mr. Tom and the sacred stone circle he created when I repeat something. His wisdom is lasting.
A lot is coming up for a lot of us, so please know you are not alone. It doesn’t mean I don’t have “I don’t want to” thoughts, too. “Woohoo” & “ugh… can we not?” both coming up simultaneously. I spoke of how I’d never allowed myself to feel the full spectrum of grief and celebration simultaneously in such an intense and bold way.
However you feel, I honor it so deeply. I honor the sadness, anger, and frustration. I honor the whole you.
Fast forward to the end (9:35 time) if you only have space for main message. It is the reason why this take is the one shared with you. “Whatever it is that you need, that brings you joy, no matter if it is ‘outlandish’. It is needed. It is your medicine. We need you. We don’t need some society’s creation of perfection. We don’t need someone who pushes beyond their limits and is depleted. We don’t know someone who doesn’t live a long life because they never took care of themselves(over gave). We need you to simply be here, however long you can. We need it as long as possible, so you taking care of yourself is so important. You nourishing yourself, resting, giving yourself space is so needed.”
“How can I support you to be here and to live in health and happiness? This is the space and energy I come from. We need you… so much. I wish you knew how massive of an effect you have on this world. You don’t have to live a ‘Nobel Prize winning’ life. We need YOU. We need your presence and your love in our world. I wish you could see the flashes I see that show me how much we need you. Whatever it is that You need is extremely valid, welcomed, and honored.”
I love you.

Does your heart crave being heard in love, acceptance, and free of judgement or response? My dear friend, Ashley Jabara of Awaken with Ashley, is offering FREE sharing circles every new moon throughout 2025(with different times of day). The next will be on December 30, 2024.
In the grand space Ashley holds, we ground then feel open to share whatever we want. No one is allowed to respond to our share. We each get to receive the gift of listening. It is so freeing to share and know that nobody is going to say anything. It is so freeing to listen to a share and know you are simply there to only listen. This Treasure Ashley is offering is the grandest of healings, in my book. I will be there. You are so welcomed.
