Grateful for the warmth and coziness and reflections of wintering. πŸ™πŸ» This is a balm right now as I have been breaking out of the cocoon of Covid and trying to ground myself for the activist work ahead. I truly want to scoop all trans people who are frightened into my arms with love and safety and empowerment.

Also, I have a ton of National Geographic’s, my parents have subscribed for years. I am happy to send you some!! Sending love and lightly scented candles. πŸ•―οΈ β€οΈπŸ›·

Thank you for your presence and all you share. Weirdos unite! I'm headed into Rohatsu tomorrow, my gateway for this wintering. Pluto continues to take me deep. Your insights support me in this long game of life. Be well. Sending joy.

Your writings have helped me let go of boxes I have placed myself in/been placed in and I am eternally grateful. Feeling the fuzzy edges of myself and realizing the edges just keep going πŸ’œ and oh how my libra self loves the alignment chart. How delightful to put things in boxes πŸ˜‚

I came here a while ago and stay because of you and the way you write, teach, tell jokes and are just .. well you. I did have a good idea who you were as I found you through Tara Swartz’s podcast and I’m reading your book so I’m here to stay! from a fellow weirdo xx

Thank you for the wintering nudge, I realize I was already taking some slower steps so I’ll keep following that pace. And you are such a brilliant and authentic person; I’m so so grateful to be in your community.

This is why I’m here, keep bringing on the jokes! β€œMy preferred portal involves simultaneous translations between social and spiritual liberation… plus jokes.”

Thanks for reading Kelly and I too appreciate nudges from other humans (nature's already nudging!) to slow down... xox

Even a non inspired letter from you is welcome! And maybe your "weirdo" side could be better called : openess. For sure, this side of you is precious to me.

Hi Sebene. The meditation was lovely but hearing you read your post to me as I did dishes was maybe even lovelier. I found you through the 10% Happier app and I can't imagine why anyone would unsubscribe from you. I love the way you gently bring new ways of thinking to me, how you are real, just real. It's perfect. You might wonder then "why aren't you a paid subscriber Sandy?". I think it's because I love so many of you like Jeff and Dan and Jay and Nadia Bolz Weber and Sarah Bessey and since I can't afford all of you I subscribe to none of you. It's partly my inner socialist not wanting to play favorites. Thank you for being so generous. I know some day that might have to end. but know that you are super appreciated and also I think the world is a better place with you in it and would be greatly improved if you and Jeff and Dan did more group podcasts. Or just hung out with me. Much love, Sandy

Sebene!! Thank you for sharing your thoughts, insights, wisdom, reminders, humor, and everything else in between! πŸ™ Your writings and meditations are a soothing balm for the daily grind of modern-day life and the current times. I am grateful for your light and presence! I, too, will be heeding the call of the season… hibernating and recharging sounds good right about now. Feeling more exhausted than usual, but that could be because I’m also getting older… lol πŸ˜…πŸ€ͺ anyway, thank you, as always!! πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’– Wishing you all the best for the remainder of the year and beyond! 🫢
