Happy birthday to me!
A lot has happened since the last time I posted. I had to put a pause on my studying with the Wealthy Speaker School because money just wasn’t coming in. Any part-time job I applied to didn’t work out. My EI has just finished. I wasn’t booking any private clients. Money’s been a huge stressor for me and I’m still working through it. (I’m running a GoFundMe if you’d like to help.)
Outside of that though, things are grand. I did a mammogram a few weeks ago and I’m all clear. I finally got to go cottaging up north thanks to a friend (too cloudy for stars, sadly), which meant I could also visit another friend who lives 30 minutes away. I’ve moved all my business systems to Zoho One, which for one low monthly fee gives me anything I could possibly need to run things. (I’ve only scratched the surface of what I can do with it!) I’m working on an oracle card workshop that I can sell. I’ve been networking locally and plan to raise money to book booths at upcoming events.
And most of all, after working on it since January, today I launched my YouTube channel.

(I don’t know why the vid isn’t embedding, but at least the link works. Maybe because it’s a short?)
The material I will be producing on the channel will be complimented by postings here. So the plan is to write more here and create synergy between the two.
This was not the video I was planning to launch with. That one has been filmed but needs editing. I recorded 3 videos on Saturday, and only one (a card reading about money) is even close to being done. (Have I mentioned I hate everything about editing? My kingdom for an editor!) But after listening to Dr Karen Parker’s energy forecast for this week, I realized I needed to rethink a little bit about the overall thrust of the channel.
And what it come down to is this. The thing that I’m most learning right now is how to move from fear into self-love. And before that, it was moving from feeling stuck and sad, feeling like nothing was working. They say to teach what you most need to learn. So that’s what I’m positioning.
I’ve zeroed in on wanting to bring more love and joy into the world. And right now, with a huge challenge that I’m damn tired of (can the boom/bust cycles end already? It sucked that I couldn’t take myself out to dinner tonight), that starts with me.
