Dear Beloved Community,

I don't know about you, but I missed the memo-National Rest Day was March 22nd!

One official day to nap, sip tea,  paint our toes, and honor renewal.  And now here we are already in April, and I'm wondering how did I let an opportunity to rest slip by me like that?

So, here's my April Fools twist: I'm declaring the whole month of April as Sovereign Season. This is our month to reclaim rest, renewal, tap into our rhythm, and revel in our well-being as our birthright.   This means:

WORK is hereby abolished

Mandatory naps are reinstated

Rhythm breaks are required ( A short pause to breathe, sip tea, stretch, or get in a quick dance step)

Journaling, and quiet time is instituted, toenail polishing, massages and self care activities are required

Dates to improve our relationships with money are prioritized (Spring cleaning those finances is hereby declared and decreed!) 

Cowries (symbols of wealth, fertility, abundance, protection and spiritual connection) are hereby freely distributed every morning at sunrise 

... Of course I cannot really mandate this for any of you, but I can share with you real news: Sovereign Sessions are coming soon.  These are weekly Zoom gatherings that will hold space to reclaim rest, renewal and tap into our rhythm together.  Community is important- more important than ever as we find ways to ditch the systems that have harmed us, exhausted us, robbed us of quality family time, and isolated us from one another.  Details will arrive in your inbox in a few days, so stay tuned.

My niece Nadia Arbelo once closed communication to me by saying "I'm smiling big". I have never forgotten the image of her when I read that, so- Happy April and I"m smiling big!
