I'm Back in the UBC, Baby!

Well, would you look at that! I had planned on waiting until October, but I missed you guys and didn't want to wait that long.

Coming Back

It's June 30th as I write this - so we're talking about a very last minute decision! And unlike other times, this will be the only blog post I have written as I begin the challenge.

But in addition to seeing all of you, I've got things to talk about. What appealed to me for this month was the idea of writing about the things that I am still working on, because working with something as a blog topic gives me a great opportunity to think through it.

OTOH, I do wonder how much I will actually get done here. It's an adventure. :)

But I always aim for at least two blog posts a week. We'll see how it goes.

What will you be writing about this month? I'm so looking forward to connecting with you all.

Have You Met Me?

If you are new to the challenge, I'm glad you're about to have the experience. I've been doing it off and on for about 16 years and while it doesn't explode your blog the way it did way back when, it does help.

So who am I? I'm a helper! I believe that I came here to help humanity awaken and heal. But I'm part of that humanity, too, and I'm learning that part of healing is becoming who I am more fully and living true to myself in a way that feels grounded, peaceful and joyful.

Fun with Branding

I'm in the middle of a fun experiment with using ChatGPT to take pictures of me and create a version of me that I am willing to make visible. I've also tried creating pictures that have a future self element to them - like me in a setting I'd love to experience. My own apothecary, for example.

So far, two things have happened that surprised me! I saw a picture of my higher self. Which is to say that it reminds me of the way I imagine my higher self to be when I visualize her. 
​

​The higher self pic is the upper right one. There she is! Actually, this whole collage feels like a vision board.

The other thing that surprised me was how much the process of choosing or rejecting pictures of myself would bring back my issues with how I look. I've always thought I was trying to be as beautiful as possible.

But then I realized that what I was really trying to do was find myself in the mirror. When I take or create a picture that looks exactly the way I want it to, it feels like a match to who I am on the inside. 

See you next time!

Love, Jeanine
