On Fridays I do these "Dream Status Report" prompts to help me have more clarity, momentum and groundedness on my path.

There are journaling sheets for doing this! these are available for everyone, not just membership members. Download them here.
So grateful for the journaling prompts because I have no idea how to start this today.
Re-visiting my New Moon Intention from the May New Moon call is very reassuring. In the mediation in that call, my dream showed me a path from where I was to where I wanted to be.
My dream wanted me to draw out many many many little squares, each representing a step on the path.
Then it wanted me to bring my attention just to the one square I am on. BE HERE. DON'T EXPECT YOURSELF TO ALREADY BE AT THE END OF THE PATH.
It's amazing how often I expect myself to start a new path and instantly be at the end.
I am here. At the beginning. The beginning is kind of a mess.
(Also, it's not the beginning it's just that I am not looking at all the path I've been down already to get here.)
But, looking at it this way - I AM WINNING! I AM TAKING STEPS!
I did all the things I wanted to do this week... but how do I feel about this?
Lost + conflicted.
I feel like I am on new ground and it's new and I don't understand it.
Which means what I need is: time and space to acclimate/integrate.
Over the last month, I started a project I have been wanting to do for years.
I've been writing this daily blog for a long time. I want to say 2014? But maybe earlier than that.
It was an experiment to move it from the membership out onto my blog, and I like having it here. I like sharing it.
The next step of that experiment was to also share it on social media - like, where people actually could read it, lol!!!! I know you are reading this, and I appreciate all of the people who are here, SO MUCH!
AND there aren't a lot of people here, compared to the people following me on social media. AND there aren't a lot of ways for new people to find me here, compared to how they can find me on social media.
In the past, Google helped with that! I had lots of "high ranking" blog posts so people could find blog posts from Google or Pinterests. It just doesn't work that way anymore.
But putting these blogs, which are my honest journaling, on socal media??!?!?!
YIKES
So logistically and strategically I knew it was the right move and every part of me was like FUCK NOW, so I didn't do it, for years.
Also, I hate Canva, the tool I was using to turn writing into "social media slides" and the thought of making Canva posts for every day of the week was ridiculously unappealing.
Until about a month ago.
Suddenly I felt ready. I realized - I don't have to share the whole blog post, I can share parts of it. And I also realized - I can look at what other tools I could use besides Canva. I immediately found Adobe Express which is the same thing, but just is a better fit for me. And it's a few dollars cheaper!
So, I've been sharing my daily posts on social media for about a month.
At first my process was really messy. But each week I looked at what felt messy and tried different approaches and now - it all feels smooth and integrated into my routines.
I write A LOT. Writing helps me process my thoughts and feelings.
Once a week I go through my writing and schedule it as blog posts for the following week, then I take those blog posts and put whatever parts I want into Adobe Express to create social media posts, and schedule them too. So I don't actually have to post every day, I just schedule once a week.
I couldn't have started this way because it's too many moving parts. It took a few weeks to get the hand of Adobe Express and figure out what fonts and colours I want, etc. Each week that part feels a bit more playful and fun.
BUT THIS IS A LOT.
Thinking of doing a thing FOR YEARS and then finally doing it and being 1 month into it and starting to feel like "I've got this"... that's a lot.
I need space to acclimate to being here. And space to integrate this new aspect of me - the me who is DOING IT instead of THINKING ABOUT IT.
If we rush this part, things can more easily fall apart.
So, acclimation + integration are what my dream and myself need this week.
*There is no Co-Dreaming call today, since we had the New Moon call on Tuesday. The Co-Dreaming calls happen on weeks when we don't have a New Moon call.
