💕 Tonight we celebrated his life...


👋 Hello lovely friends!

My dear and amazing friend Sidney left his body on July 9, and only tonight did we finally get together to celebrate his amazing life!

I also officially closed the doors to the food co-op today, partially pushed forward by Sidney!

HE LIVED HIS LIFE SO BEAUTIFULLY.

He showed up, PRESENT AF to the humans in his life and to whatever adventure was right for the moment. And when an adventure was over, he moved on to the next one to keep on learning and experiencing this beautiful life!

I've known for about 4 years that the co-op was too much of a commitment for me. But I cared about our mission and our members. We were making a difference, so I justified continuing, even when my heart told me it was time to move on.

My heart for doing “the right thing” overrode my SOUL knowing the right thing FOR ME.

This week, I knew his celebration party was coming. And I also knew it was time to close the co-op. I had a really deep knowing that THERE ARE OTHER THINGS for me to be doing. Other adventures. Other ways to serve. Even though the co-op had value, it's important to show up and live this life in the ways I'm called to NOW!

So tonight some friends at Sidney's life celebration asked what I’ve been up to. This was, of course, after we shed tears and swapped stories and celebrated together. But then... in the mix... as we do... we continued on with LIFE. And we were getting caught up.

Do you know what I'm excited about in LIFE right now? Our experiments! I'm so excited about what we're doing in the LaB!!

Like, THE SIX-SECOND KISS experiment! (Check yesterday's email if you didn't see it!)

AND the similarly about six-second experiment a member is doing that is making her more easily get up out of bed each morning! (It’s so cool! I almost cannot believe how clever she is!)

So, look.

Some of you getting this email are already in the LaB. (::WAVING:: Hiiii!)

If you haven’t heard about our group yet, it’s an AMAZING community unlike you’ve ever been in. And the entire purpose is to TRY OUT the experiments our hearts are pulling and tugging on us to try!

And… you now can JOIN the group FOR FREE! YUP. I'm experimenting on giving a free option for one more week. So yes, you have a pass to get in… for freeeee. And the value is there!

What is that value, you might wonder?

TOOLS & INSPIRATION that help you to do the simple, fun, hard, whatever is NEEDED to live by heart!

You're very warmly invited to join us if you're not there yet!

Sidney's party was and is ALL ABOUT A LIFE WELL LIVED!

A full-color life, full of FUN, LEARNING, and KINDNESS for our fellow humans!

The choice is yours...

See you there… I hope!

P.S. A part of me feels like I "should" have told you more about Sidney THE MAN in this email. But right now? He's a friendly soul helping me along. You had to KNOW HIM to know him. That's why tonight was so special. That's why my heart hurts and is also SO FULL at the same time. "Anything you lose comes round in another form..." It's true, though. It's so very true! All those friends whose bodies are no longer hooked up to their sweet souls? Their legacy is in the connection, the memories, and the blessings... no amount of talking about Sidney will do his SOUL justice! But living this ONE LIFE, BETTER, in part thanks to inspiration from HIS life, I know he would love that!

👋 Friends! Oh dear reader… This is either the BEST time to write to you or the WORST time. Let’s find out, shall we? 🙃 I was gutted today when I tried to work and realized: I have NO IDEA what I want to do with my life. The past couple months have broken me wide apart. We came back from Brazil, and really I only came back because of the commitment I have to the co-op I started. But I don’t want to be here. It’s so weird to admit that. Yet, I am glad to be alive. I am glad for the moments and...

👋 Hello lovely friends! Over the last weeks since we started the LaB, we've collectively completed so many different experiments it’s been WILD! And such fun! On the one hand, personally I’m already adventurous as can be. (Did you know that in the same year, I went to Spain to study Spanish, got a motorcycle license, AND shaved my head COMPLETELY BARE because I had tired of spending money to dye my hair red. It was easier to just shave it off! So I did! It was just an experiment!) But — on...

👋 Hello lovely friend! In the last couple of wild and wildly fantastic weeks, things have been GREAT in both of my groups (I have two now, yes, I am obsessed with our communities!!) AND… I decided to try a fun little experiment. Previously my ONE group was a “mini” group at only $7/month. But now I have TWO groups, the “mini” and another one specifically for entrepreneurs… And somewhere in there, I’ve decided to experiment with giving FREE entry to the previously $7/month group. With FREE...
