"I’m also not allowing this to mean a hardening of my heart. I am still committed to remaining soft, gentle and open. Conserve is not about coldness, it’s about downgrading access and energy." <--- Yes to all of this! Conserve also feels very measured inside of protection, in the most powerful of ways.

My word(s) for 2024 is Delight, with a side of Swoon. In years past, I've chosen words (or they've chosen me?) that equate to ... just TOO much. I'm leaning in to inviting joy, and ease, and DELIGHT into my life. The most important thing to me is how I operationalize it daily / weekly ... and one great example is choosing a REALLY beautifully wicked airbnb for a work trip vs. a boring / traditional location, and every little element (down to the gumball machine and record player) is reminding me that life *can indeed be full of delight.

I love commenting on my friends’ Substacks as if we haven’t extensively discussed the contents sometimes... 🤣

My word is magnetism and you already know I’m with you in the scaling back access and over giving Dr Dre in 2024 campaign.

Love you, HERMANA

What I know about it so far is that my soul is longing to gather, to come together, to sit together in person, to connect. And there is another layer of it that feels more energetic, like after so many years of so much loss and dissolution my soul wants to gather some energy and resources and have it stick around. I can definitely tell I’m still in a clearing and releasing of things that are not aligned or for me anymore phase this year, so definitely don’t want that stuff sticking around. And some new and building of energy feels possible too. Let’s see what I learn, I always know and understand more of what it actually means over the course of the year when I let it inform me. 🌀

Delight is also my word for 2024. Love the addition of Gather (my "with a side of" is Swoon).

I might have other words throughout the year. But in this moment, I think my word is “receive.”

Thank you for all you give, all you’ve given, to the world, but especially to me. You deserve to receive all you’ve put out to come back to you 1000x.

I hope, as you say :), that you can protect your peace, but I especially hope you continue to protect your heart. 🧡

Sending so much love to you.
