TRY ON ALL clothing and accessories, if possible, when packing for a trip - dressing well is a feeling, literally. 

Indefinitely

Savasana - Corpse Pose so sweet and not so subtle ✨.

It can be as little as a water bottle or as big as a location; things in your life expire, and not necessarily when you expect them to.

Special state of mind

Much ado leading up to the big day (in this case Christmas). IN THE WAKE of any momentous occasion I find myself in a very unique state of mental clarity; this is a prime opportunity to write reference notes. Keep a notebook for ‘hostessing’, ‘travel’, ‘holidays’ - wherever your interests lie - in order to access that very particular productive you. Borrow her Herculean magic using your own words for increased performance when the successive time comes and you are *stumped or *frustrated - inevitably my vibe before birthdays, travel, holiday etc. !!! LISTS - ‘gifts’, ’paint colors’, ‘buffet table setting’, ‘long car ride’, ‘weather in Telluride’ - are especially supportive.

**A note on resistance — we are most apt to create friction and repel those undertakings and engagements that give us the most satisfaction as the pressure to perform in something we are passionate about, skilled or talented at, is immense. ๐Ÿ”ฅ ๐ŸŽญ

Santosha - a deep satisfaction with your current situation, feeling enough as you are, meeting the present moment as it is. 

Many a duty (this December, especially) have I obliged - so, now it is time to sit back and enjoy the rest of the 2025 ride.
