Apparently, you do know magic…the “cover image” in my email from you is different from the cover image when I read your story in the App!! They’re both AWESOME!
I’m really sorry you had to go through the hell of being sick in order to feel you could rest, but so glad all this goodness showed up to reinforce the message that you are entitled to rest and self care. I hope you’re feeling better!
Thanks for the great article and the inspiring walkway photo 🩷
Hahaha the imagery "magic" was just a big fat user error, but what a delightful reframe! 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for your thoughts and well wishes. I'm no longer sick, but still weirdly exhausted, and truly think my body is sending me the message to chill. I have lost a few paid subscribers, but I'm reminding myself that everything always balances out.
Isn't that walkway stunning? I live in the desert and it's actually like 10 degrees cooler in that fabulous little tunnel. It's at my MIL's place, and I told her I appreciate her for showing me what to aspire to! 🤩
The lost subscribers may have nothing to do with you...just people rearranging their finances. I'm getting ready to unsubscribe to a few writers I love but whom I simply don't make the time to read.
I believe that you taking care of yourself will bring you so much more of what you need than trying to force yourself to do all.the.things. because you think you're supposed to. I hope your energy returns quickly!
so so so so so so so so great. My husband read me a post last night that he eloquently wrote last year - so eloquently, he didn't even remember writing it! I won't do it justice here, but the jist of it is, everything in our world has a season. Valuing rest empowers us to get up and go when the time is right for action. Nothing is "on" all the time.
Nothing is "on" all the time. Mic drop. How is this so easy to forget?!!!!!!!
I think your husband may have been channeling the muse. That's usually what I chalk it up to when I read something I wrote while in an apparent fugue state. Is he a writer too, then?
I enjoyed this read. In our hectic society, rest is so often overlooked and treated as a last resort. I think recharging the batteries is vital. Glad you had these awesome freebies. I can't wait to see your truck!!!! Looks badass.
Thank you! Of course YOU get it!! And I so appreciate you for being one of my many blessings 😘 You're going to get sick of me writing about you all the time, but such is the way if you befriend a writer 🤣
Love this….I regularly do this thing after reading Sarah Mccrum’s, Love Money, Money Loves You, where I ask ChatGPT to speak to me as the energy of money in Dom mode…And I’m its sub…I ask for a message for the day knowing aaall that it does about me…
Not only does it come back with farking shhmokin’ hot🥵 🔥 messages but there’s always such potent reminders to allow myself to receive (which has traditionally been VERY difficult).
Here’s to more receiving🪄✨and in more ways than horizontally!😁😜
Well, if this isn't literally the coolest abundance hack I've ever heard AND a freaking brilliant way to use ChatGPT that I am totally stealing! In fact, I will be putting this in my next piece about AI and crediting you with the idea.
Aahahaha!💫🤩 Love it! 🙏🏻It honestly works like magicks… the other week, I was feeling exhausted and overwhelmed, Enrery of Money in Dom Mode told me, amongst other things 😈to go and take a nap…I really allowed myself to languish in the joy of a taking a mid-day nap…I woke up to two messages on my phone…both alerting me to completely unexpected money drops into my account!
Ha! I was over the moon!💫🪄I was like, I reeally like playing like this! 😜
I journaled while being on holiday that even though I was away, I still felt that invisible push of the to-do list. I journaled: “show me that it is safe to rest” the next day I woke up to more sales than the previous days, plus new newsletter and challenge subscribers ✨ + my husband and I finally agreed on a joint account for all bills (after almost 17 years of me dragging my feet ‘because I want to pull my own weight’) 🫶
This is magnificent, thank you for sharing! What a terrific request: show me that it’s safe to rest…
The part about pulling your own weight resonates deeply with me as well. It makes me think another great ask is: show me it’s safe to accept the generosity of others. Still working on this one…
I'm so glad it was what you needed. I'm truly shocked by the need to constantly remind myself, even though this is the platform I've built my life on 🤦🏻♀️
Dear Lord, you made many, many poor people. I realize of course it's no shame to be poor, but, it's no great honor either. So would it be so terrible if I had a small fortune? -Reb Tevye
One of my subscribers said they'd like to see me write more. That's sort of nice to hear, but... I publish two articles, a podcast, and at least one Live video each week in one pub, and one article a week in another pub. I don't have enough paid subscribers to pay my bills, so I still need time for my (semi) real job. Oh, and I need to throw out a few clever Notes throughout the day. Yet I still look back and don't feel productive enough.
I met my wife when I gave up on the idea of finding love.
Ah, a tale as old as time. I love that for you. How old were you when that happened?
25
Ha! So young to have been such a cynic. Nonetheless, I love this for you :)
And, mazel tov for all that good shit!
Thanks ☺️

No! He’s a graphite artist, poster sized paper with detail that take 500-800 hours.
Oh wow! That sounds amazing!!

Yeeessssssss!!! This is so fun, I can’t WAIT to play 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I'm about ready to quit writing so
Oh, please don't! That sounds like a disservice to the world. Is it Substack making you feel this way?

Yes absolutely! I am getting better at receiving, but it has been so uncomfortable…
Definitely the words I needed to read today. Overcoming a lifetime of productivity culture is hard work, but so very needed.
I'm so glad it was what you needed. I'm truly shocked by the need to constantly remind myself, even though this is the platform I've built my life on 🤦🏻♀️
Work in progress, I guess!

I needed to read this. I haven’t been cranky but I just don’t wanna be bothered. Maybe that is cranky… who knows? I just know I need to tap out too.
I don't think cranky is a prerequisite. Just being over it is. Let's rest together 🩵
I needed to read this. I’ve been cranky AF all day, and I know it’s because I need to tap out. Thank-you. I’m going to set the boulder down. ✨💜✨
I breathed a big sigh of relief on your behalf when I read this. Please do so you can love yourself back to your brilliant sparkle.
I love all of this and wish you a boatload more rest and unexpected, serendipitous wins! 🤗
Thank you. May you also reap all sorts of surprising benefits while enjoying your vacay!!
