When I meet someone new, I always ask two things: (1) What are you passionate about? (2) What are your favorites places in this city? It's amazing what you learn about someone when you watch them contemplate the questions, realize they hadn't considered it before, and then slightly struggle to find an answer. It's even more amazing to watch them come back to me at a later time, with an answer...as if the questions I posed lingered in their thought process. It's a subtle honor for me when I learn that my words resonated to such a degree that they linger intangibly within someone. What are you passionate about? What are your favorite places to visit in the city you live in? I'd like to know. Always, me

What are your plans for this weekend? For me, I"m craving ice cream, maybe yogurt?

Yesterday, I did something that demonstrated how far I've come in my own healing process. I was asked, last minute, to do a presentation for staff on the Elements of Grooming and how some of these behaviors may be blurry in the line of work that was being done within this organization. To be able to stand in front of a crowd of adults, varying in age and position, address the definition of physical and online grooming, and how they can help protect and empower the youth they are serving, all the while me recognizing how I was not being activated by any of it, was pretty f*@3ing incredible. It was a testament to my healing journey, to the work I've done with myself. I am incredibly proud of myself for having had the courage to step out into the unknown, onto this path, and allowing the process to unfold. How about for you you? What milestone in your healing process have you achieved? What helped? What didn't help? I look forward to hearing from you soon.

I wanted to make the time to explore the different challenges that may come up for some of you during this mercury retrograde time period for Nov depending on where you are on your healing path. I hope these pieces of information can help you better navigate the experience. Remember that not all of this may play out for you during this time depending on the other influences on your birth chart. Nonetheless, these are helpful energetic moments of awareness whether or not you are impacted and how because of the people you may encounter during this time. It's possible they may be experiencing this retrograde with more intensity. Be mindful, be graceful, be compassionate because we are just trying to navigate life with so much going on. Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius is asking us to revisit, review, reconnect, all the "re-s" with regards to communicating our belief systems, our philosophies of life or of ourselves. Sagittarius is also about optimism and major systems in the world. Let's see what you should be aware of: Water Signs: You can get caught up in your own emotional reactions but also get lost in the emotional experiences of others. Take your time as you take in the communication from others about life and beliefs. This also includes you taking your time expressing your thoughts, feelings, opinions and beliefs to others. And be okay if others aren't as emotionally expression to the same degree as you regarding a system, belief, or plan. Just because emotions aren't expressed doesn't mean they aren't being felt. Embrace neutrality in your exchange rather than allow the emotional side get the best of you. Fire Signs: Do you feel the fire? Lol! My fire signs, you are passionate, you can move forward quickly, bluntly and with great stubbornness if you are not careful. Learn to stop, think, and reflect on what message you are trying to convey but mostly importantly, explore the "HOW" you are wanting this message to land. Release control if there are differences in opinions. It's okay for all to not be on the same page regarding beliefs systems.
