Softness Is The Doorway
Kitchen Alchemy
My Breakfast this week: 1 piece of Ezekiel bread, 2 poached eggs, spinach, herbal tea, bone broth (this is store bought obviously but maybe I will include a homemade recipe soon).
Total 285 cal, 29g protein
variations- add avocado, microgreens, herbs, anything pickled like red onions, peppers or cherry tomatoes, hot sauce or harissa. I love harissa. If you really want to go nuts skip the toast and make the poached eggs in zucchini noodles.
vegan alternative: Tofu eggs with turmeric, garlic and black salt. And mineral-rich broth made with mushrooms, seaweed, miso and herbs.
Sips
Cold brew and plant based milk, Water with electrolyte powder, lemonade creatine, I drink a lot of sparkling water (a lot), a lot of tea. Infusions and adaptogens but that's for next week.
New Moon
Today, Monday June 23, is the Waning Crescent Moon (a time to rest, reflect, and gently release). This Wednesday is the New Moon, the start of the new moon cycle, a blank page. It's a great time to set any intentions or release anything with the New Moon on Wednesday.
What must I say, do, or be to have harmony in my life?
Vibes and Finds
I picked up a bottle of Hawaiian Dark Tanning Oil. Yes it's the opposite of sunscreen. I'm keeping it in my purse or car for the summer. Nostalgia in a bottle. It's like 2004 but I don't smoke anymore. I also got a bottle of Cholula to keep in my car.
I searched oversized summer t-shirts on Amazon and found just that - the 90s oversized Florida t-shirts with airbrushed neon sunsets and dolphins. Really comfortable. No stress.
I started alternating my blue light glasses. It's like bringing a different persona to my desk.
I added a money tree to my bathroom window. High vibes. Low maintenance. It only needs 2 ice cubes a week.

Steps on the 5D Path
(my personal journal brain dump of the week)
It’s not showing up
Because you’re still holding on.
Holding on so tightly what you really want can't reach you.
Holding onto the stories that say you have to earn ease, prove your worth, chase to be chosen. Holding onto the idea you have to work harder for more money, stay connected to the wrong people just in case it leads somewhere (it won't. closed doors don't open from knocking longer).
You’re not just holding patterns—you’re holding people who show up half-hearted.
You’re holding fear like it’s the only thing that’s ever stayed.
You're holding worry because it feels safe.
You’re holding control because receiving never felt safe.
And beneath it all?
What you know but you just don't want to face:
Can I trust life to hold me if I stop gripping so hard?
Because some part of you still believes:
If I soften, it will all fall apart.
If I don’t try so hard, nothing will come.
If I feel good, I’ll lose it.
If I let go of this unaligned connection, I could miss out.
If I walk away there might not be something better.
But it's what you've always known deep down…
It’s the holding on that’s blocking the flow.
The ease doesn’t have to be earned.
The love doesn't have to be worked for.
What's meant for you can only find you when you let go.
Maybe your softness is the doorway to everything you've been asking for.
Because need and gripping is an energy that flows only one way. What you grip will never reach back. It'll never reciprocate and find you. It can't because it's not love.
Everything we want is available when we let go.
