Hello September!
How are we already in the 9th month of the year?!
I have taken an unintentional break from social media & online. I cannot tell you how many times I have sat down to write a blog or a post but have a difficult time finding the words to express anything, tbh. Idk how else to explain it but I felt like trying to keep up with our virtual world & the expectations placed on entrepreneur’s was beginning to suck the life out of me. Some expected & unexpected experiences took place as the summer began to unfurl. It felt like I was being guided to sit down, slow down. I’m a Scorpio sun & moon, of course I tried to fight it. But then I stopped & actually sat the hell down. One thing that keeps circling back to me-we, so many of us, spend so much time investing our time & energy in creating this big, beautiful life that we don’t fully get to immerse ourselves in. We are so busy doing that we forget to just be. So much of that is wrapped up in trying to keep up with the rest of society as our focus becomes survival, making ends meet & worrying about being successful. The summer shifted my focus & I can’t lie, it feels so good.
The summer has been so beautiful & inviting. I found myself under the sun doing absolutely nothing. No marketing. No planning out social media content. Not trying to jot down every business-related thought that comes to mind, just living and enjoying each moment as it comes. I have spent my days & nights connecting with amazing people, fully present, soaking in all that yummy goodness that comes with holding space for one another. I worried if my online absence would impact my business, but I allowed myself to put that burden down. I am doing what I have been called to do and I gave myself room to fully enjoy it, guilt-free. Special shout-out to all my summer babies that made each moment even sweeter.
If you’re reading this, thank you for being here. Perhaps this is your sign to pause. Move with purpose, act with intention. Release the weight of others' expectations, and simply exist in your own truth. Embrace stillness & connection, let it guide you back to yourself. In this moment & every moment thereafter, choose to honor your journey and breathe in the beauty of simply being. Autumn often minds us that it’s time to harvest those fruits, y’all.
Wishing you a joyful start to the pre-spooky season! For all the parents sending their littles (and not so littles) back to school, may this year be filled with blessings and success for you & your children.
Always remain empowered,
Anjanette
