Peace,

I hope you're able to stay grounded despite it all. I hope you have joy and ease showing up regularly.

Let me know what's been making you shimmy lately.

• On a personal note, my goddaughter WILL be going on her school trip! I'm claiming it as we have $600 left (from over $5k! 😅). Goal met as of yesterday!!!!! ✨shimmies✨ all the way to the ... front yard to shovel some more 😂😮‍💨❄️❄️❄️. Thank you to all those who donated and shared the GoFundMe. I will be leaving it open until her trip so she's not traveling empty handed. To all donors - past, present, future - it's not too late to submit a question using the Google form.
