I still struggle to sit still. There are more days than not that I just stop meditating and cave into “doing” things — because, why not save that extra ten minutes to be more “productive”, right?   I love the dopamine hits of crossing things off my to-do list, sending and receiving texts, and checking my Instagram!  They are mindlessly fun!

Today is different though. I manage to sit through many thoughts.  As I feel grounded and my mind becomes quiet, I am now in touch with inner peace and joy.  In this space, everything is alright, already and always.  I am effervescent with joy. My thought flows to think about my friends in Playa Venao.  I am heading back in two days to the beach. How special that place is.  How lucky I am to go back to Venao.

The new moon is an invitation to start fresh, call in intentions, and set the tone for the next cycle. For this new moon, I call in more anchoring, joy, and meditating.
