Take the LEAP.

Pura Vida!

 

I am writing you from Costa Rica… and this Heart Note will be holding you over for the next 2 weeks while I play in the Jungle…

 

But I want to share an edge of mine with you…

One I didn't fully realize I had…

 

All week I've been packing, setting last minute plans, changing my flights (twice) and curating this really beautiful experience for myself in Costa Rica. I was SO EXCITED.

 

As I was finishing packing this anxious feeling washed over me.

And my brain went “wtf are you doing, are you crazy?!”

 

I could have brushed it off, claimed it was just because I was tired and had extra stress that week… I could have ignored it or just tried to push it away with regulating practices…

 

Instead, I got curious…

What was this feeling telling me?

 

I could feel that I am on the EDGE of something big.

 

The past year has been a lot of aligning, completely changing the structure of my life (and business) and letting go – not just of relationships and places but of old identities…

 

Now I'm on this precipice, about to leap (yet again)

 

Into more visibility

Into more leadership

Into my highest timeline

 

And OF COURSE what timing as we just had the last full moon of the astrological year – a moon of completion – and we are moving into the new year as I move into this next solar return (my bday was last Monday!)

 

The thing is…

 

Anytime we are about to up-level or move into a new stage in life…

ALL OF OUR SHIT COMES UP

 

What I discovered when becoming curious of this feeling was this…

 

I AM AFRAID OF EVERYTHING I WANT IN LIFE.

 

Whoa.

Ok then.

 

That's why I chose to stay small for so long.

 

So what am I going to do about it?

 

Lean the fuck IN.

 

Be with my little girl, my little human, and let her know that I am holding her hand and she is safe – but we are doing this… we are going all the way in… we are letting ourself be BIG.

 

So here I am, writing to you after the most beautiful and nourishing first day in Costa Rica…

 

Leaning into each intimate moment – with life, with humans, with GOD, with the mystery.

 

If you are not willing to meet your edge, you will stay stuck.

I've met many many edges on this journey of life, healing + evolution…

 

This one is the biggest one yet as I say a big fat FUCK YES to everything I have ever dreamed of – even if it scares the crap out of me. I'm a yes to all of life. I'm leaning in.

 

I'm taking the leap.

I'm open to receive all of the blessings available to me in this life.

 

I'm fully worthy of them…

AND YOU ARE TOO.

 

Lean in, babe.

TAKE THE LEAP.

 

Te queiro todo
