Thank you so much, Caroline. Just what I needed to hear today as the month of May is full of painful memories. Today is my mother's birthday and I miss her so much and tomorrow is my best friend's birthday who passed away last year etc. And Nikki, I am sending you a warm hug and want to let you know that you're not alone. THIS TOO SHALL PASS! I don't feel so alone alone after reading the comments. It's so important to take care of ourselves even though it's difficult at times. It's time to give ourselves the compassion and love that we give others.

Thank you for this, Caroline. I’m deep in a season of depression and these reminders really hit home.

hi caroline! i feel like a stalker... but positive feedback is important.

i recently had a tarot reading done after quitting my second job in two months because my instinct told me it wasn't right. i'm a loyalist - often staying with companies for 4-5 years - so this is not a pattern that i'm used to. the last card that was pulled as a card to help me take action was the empress and it resonated SO much. as she talked about the meaning behind the empress, i started crying and said, "i feel like i am the empress deep down inside but she's covered with so much guilt and shame." the reader suggested that i research more information on the empress so i went right here and searched your archive. ugh.

all to say: thank you for writing this newsletter and sharing your words and thoughts. you are creating space for reflection, meaning, and connection. you have influenced me to buy a revlon blowdryer with authenticity and candor (during cup of jo days) and you have influenced me to rest and nurture myself and trust my gut (which are ALMOST as important as good hair. almost.)

thank you! we need you!

The wording is up to me! So obvious and yet I so often forget it. Thank you!

Like many others-- I needed to read this today. Printing this out and hanging it up in my office for a daily reminder that there is still so much wonder in the world, we just have to remind ourselves to look.

I know how to show up for, advocate in behalf of, listen to others, yet doing this for my self is so difficult. Interestingly, a guide I spoke with late last week, said that what I need right now is me! And then this affirmation. This week, this week. Thank you!
