Some poet wrote that April is the cruelest month, but for me April was the chillest month. This has been one of the most relaxing stretches of my life. I got comfortable with showing my face on the internet. I experienced 43 divine moments. I am building my first mobile app. My friend Saara is helping me improve my online ecosystem with thorough conversations and detailed homework assignments. I manifested my essay being shown to 3,000,000 people. I filed my most complicated taxes to date. I am receiving training for a fascinating and resonant line of work with a group of wonderful people who are feeling a similar pull. And many other amazing shared experiences.

I also watched a lot of television.

I had the spaciousness to do so much while never feeling rushed or busy because I let things unfold slowly. I allowed the vlog process to take up a few hours of my mornings. I let myself exercise for 90 minutes most days. Even today as I intend to set up 9 new offers, I know that that will take however long it takes, there is no rush.

It helped that I was off Twitter in April. This decision freed up a lot of my time and energy, and I want to continue to enjoy this energetic shift, so I am adjusting my social media habits as follows:

• Much more intentionality with my Twittering. I will utilize the lists feature to strictly limit which tweets make it onto my screen. I will use time limit software if I feel that too much of my energy is going towards Twitter. I will tweet a little looser because I am no longer afraid of causing harm with my words because that’s teeny tiny potatoes compared to experiencing my biggest fear.
• Some Instagram. I am enjoying playing with the Stories feature. Instagram feels so cozy, I love it!
• ​Cuties! I joined this app after learning that it is for making friends.
• No Bluesky. Twitter fulfills the same purpose for me.

Slowness and spaciousness were two red threads woven throughout my April. Living slowly feels like the ultimate indulgence. I treasure the time I took every morning to think about what I wanted to share with the world. Long and spacious conversations nourished some blossoming friendships. Walks and runs and workouts at a relaxed pace simultaneously comforted my body and expanded what it can do.

Where in our lives can we move a little slower?

What parts of our day could use a little more spaciousness?

Why does so much of daily living ask us to move quickly? What ill effects are downstream of this default rushed pace?

We are the ultimate authority of our lives. We decide the pace. Perhaps what rushes past us isn’t meant for us, and perhaps what we notice when we move slowly and spaciously is exactly what we need to see.

Things I Made:

• Essays: after the fear, the ease, this is the ultimate gift​
• 30 vlogs! Audience favorites: loving presence is the new currency, celebrating the good attracts more good, watch me eat some delicious cake. My favorites: a dialogue with the loving witness, in praise of black mirror’s “eulogy”, what happens when universal god consciousness?​
• I am making a mobile app! Kora displays looping geometric patterns so your eyes have a calm focal point while you meditate. Watch a demo video and get on the waitlist by clicking here.

9 Offers:

For fun and service and curiosity I am sharing 9 limited offers only with readers of this newsletter. These offers are all 1 hour video calls over Zoom. If no times are available then that means all 3 spots for that offer have been claimed! Each link takes you to a SavvyCal page where you can read about why I want to be of service in this way and what will happen on the call.
