Month: October 2020

This week, I’m in Texas visiting my mom and re-teaching myself how to rest. Life at an 81-year-old pace is a bit different than what I’m used to.

I watched it last week and have been thinking about the concept of interconnection ever since. Synchronicities are a type of connection, so it’s not surprising that the idea of interconnection also appeared to me last week in the Divinestrology October 2020 message written one of my teachers, Sara Wiseman.
