Desperation grasps. Determination grounds. Ooooofff dayumn Shaneh! It's definitely going in my quotes book. And for that thank you.

You're absolutely right. As the fog has cleared the soul's become immensely specific for me. And delusional too, as some people might say. The weird thing though? That determination only come from the soul desires, not from the mind ones. There's always a time and place to everything. Isn't it?

Like today, even if I "think" I wanna clear out my debt, it doesn't feel right. At all. In my body.

But moving into a place within a month, completely within our budget without any compromise?? That feels absolutely right!

I love to write these types of declarations out with a "I require, desire, and deserve...." and then of course end it with "Or Better"

and Hell yeah to the "without compromise!"

Well, at least I now know being desperate is the reason I'm still unemployed and dealing with debt collectors. But no matter how much shadow work, actual work, I still have to deal with barely surviving and the Universe essentially laughing in my face.

Yaz, there is a difference between feeling unsafe and surviving, and the desperation I described in my article. You're in a tough position, and there is no shame or judgment. I believe you that it feels like the Universe is laughing at you, and I truly don't believe that the Universe does that. Next Monday is the tapping session open to my entire community. Come join us, and let's see if we can calm your nervous system enough for you to feel like more is possible.

Hi, I thank you for being patient with me as I still struggling discerning what certain things trigger me and apologize for breaking down again. Life is tougher than I’m capable of handling and I do try my best and am just tired of trying to figure things out on my own. But I appreciate your words and work that you do and again for this space where you remind me to be gentle with myself 💝

Yaz, you never have to apologize for your feelings with me. I love that you want to be gentle with yourself. You deserve that sweet kindness from yourself and others.
