There She Goes: Making Space For Life To Unfold
Hello & Happy Wednesday!
In honor of International Women’s Day, a photo of me and two of my favorite powerful ladies at a powerful place!
This week my partner and I finally move into our new apartment!!! If you’ve been following our journey at all, you know that this is a pretty big deal — it’s been nearly a year since we’ve had a sense of stability. I’ve loved the time living out of a backpack, a car, a guest room, a studio apartment shared by three people… and now it’s time to unpack, and make space (literally & metaphorically) for our new life to unfold!
This newsletter has a lot of goodies for you — because of what is going on in the world, I’ve doubling the number of “Uplifting Things Around The World” AND we have a new MakeHers & Muses blog!
New blog post!

Set Aside Some Time This Week For Some Self-Care
I. Look at the moon! Though it’s not quite the super moon it was a few days ago, it still has the ability to wow and infuse a sense of wonder 😮
II. Carve out some time (even 5 minutes!) to release your neck & shoulders, where we carry tension and stress. This week a friend approached me that was experiencing tension headaches and I created a flow for her and shared it here!
III. If you are feeling your stress levels are higher than normal, remember that your emotions are valid and that you have the power to prioritize your mental health. This can mean removing yourself from social situations with people that make you feel more anxious! I shared Five Ways to Protect Your Energy in another recent blog post.
Soulful Salutations
“One of the greatest weaknesses in most of us is our lack of faith in ourselves. One of our common failings is to depreciate our tremendous worth.” — L.Tom Perry
“Success does not come from what you do occasionally, it comes from what you do consistently.” — Marie Forleo
“Our world is a crazy place but we decide moment to moment whether we amplify that crazy or tune into love and broadcast that magic even louder” — @ankatiheather
Uplifting Things Happening Around The World
I. A new Dr. Seuss book is coming out! The original manuscript was discovered 21 years after he died and the book is set to release in September!
II. A 64 year old just finished rowing across the Atlantic Ocean — becoming the oldest person to complete the feat!
III. If you’re a Back To The Future fan you’ll love this moment of the two stars reuniting just the other day!
IV. Students at the University of South Carolina are raising $75k for a local Wendy’s employee that lost his home in a fire.
V. A distillery in Portland, Oregon is making hand sanitizer to give out to customers — “Shine Distillery and Grill already has the equipment and the alcohol for it. They say it just makes sense for them to help keep people healthy right now.” 😌
VI. More than 60,000 people worldwide have recovered from the coronavirus.
Have a great week!
Be well,
Sheila
