Made For More

As I sit here at the beginning of Aries season, I look at all the things I’ve been working through. 

Medical issues. Grad school. A(nother) pregnancy loss. Navigating my daughter’s pre-teen hormonal swings and my own early-40s ones as well. Keeping my relationships close and active.

Running a business. Staying fit. 

And, oh yeah…actually enjoying my life.

Sometimes it feels like far too much to do.

And it is…if we’re doing it alone. 

It becomes too easy to step back, to settle, to give in a little bit here and there, until one day you look at your life and realize it’s nothing like what you wanted. 

And now, with the battle for democracy at our doorsteps, it seems like we have to put all our personal goals on hold just to fend off fascism. (Truly, what the fuck?!?)

They want us to give up and give in. They want us to believe we can’t win this battle and win the war. 

But I know I am made for more. 

I know you are too. 

Connection is my love language. If I’m going somewhere good, I want good people to come with me, all the way to the top. 

And since I’m getting an epic makeover, so are you. 

It’s time to dream big, my loves. What if now is not the death of our dreams, but the re-birth? 

Cosmically, this is the real New Year’s Day: Aries season is when the world wakes up, and so do we. 

Yes, Aries is the aggressive self-assurance of the ram, but it’s also the audacious optimism of a newborn baby, who claims LIFE, full-volume, despite being fragile and new. 

And with Neptune, the dreamer, emerging from the subconscious of Pisces into the waking world of Aries in just over a week, it’s literally time for our dreams to be born into reality. 

I believe that the personal and collective struggles of the last months and years have been preparing us for something amazing: 

A new and better world, created by new and better selves. 

This isn’t a zero-sum game: When I do better as the truest me, the world can’t help but be improved. 

When I am eating, sleeping, and moving well, I have the energy to protest and the clarity to speak my mind. 

When I have healthy boundaries in my life and business, I don’t put up with bullshit from bigoted legislators. 

When I am supported by friendships with amazing women, I fight the good fight for all of our rights. 

When I feel my connection to Spirit, I choose safety and well-being for every being, and “sacrifices” feel like sisterhood. 

The pursuit of a *truly* better self — not just more money or power — leads to a better way of life for us all. 

Yes, I want you to make more money. I want you to have more power. I know how to help you get both.

But I know that without shared responsibility for where and how we live, it will leave you sick and the world depleted. 

So we add more connection, to your truest desires. To the earth and its people. To the Divine. 

We are on the precipice of the greatest rebirth humanity has yet seen: we are global, we are conscious, and we are aware like never before. 

Now is the time to plant our flags for the world we want to live in: Just, kind, beautiful. 

And totally unavailable for pretending less is enough. 

We were made for this moment. Made for creating what we

We were Made For More.
