How War Yuh?

Dear Friend,

I was offline for five days with a brutal cold. I had a witchy sense about when, where, and how I got sick, which was very likely at my friend’s art lecture-performance where a group of 40+ strangers gathered in a circle passing each other’s cellphones around. I'll explain more next week, but in the meantime, may I gently remind you, my Beloved Friend, to mask-up and bring some hand sanitizer with you wherever you go.

I got too excited about what we were doing that after walking all the way home from the performance, I lost track of my body and being and at the end of that very long day (I also had an Oscars viewing party in the morning with another friend group), I melted in bed, forgetting my usual bedtime habits.

My ego overconfidently assumed because I’m a Warrior Princess, that it’d be a quick 1-2 days max. Instead, this illness left me groggy and disoriented, blinking back and forth between my very foggy YouTube black holes and many strange forgotten dreams from Friday all the way till Monday evening.

Since winding down my schedule and spending lots of time at home, my spirits have been high, but clearly, my body still needs a break.

Before my disappearance however, I switched the orientation of my desk setup with some self-studied Feng Shui shit. I feel the difference. More inspired. I also have plenty of space to glide and move as I please in my swivel chair. This is important because the swivel chair is meant for swiveling.

I was so sick that I missed Spring Equinox. I had plans to hermit and reflect on my next steps now that I have only one part-time job to sustain me through these tough times. I’m generally feeling better, but my nose is still stuffed and I’ve sneezed so much that even though I felt able enough to clean yesterday, I know that I’ll probably have to do it all again in a couple of days.

I am currently rewatching the television series, Parks and Recreation, and it’s been blissful. I feel healed with every laugh, and highly recommend this as temporary heart medicine.

Anyway, how. Are. You? Are you allowing yourself to sit and feel the incredibly heavy energies in the air from the wars? Are you able to find some quiet time under the shade of our friends, the trees? Or are you also playing video games and finally watching Survivor 50 cosily in your corner? Wherever you are, life is too short and thank goodness you’re alive.

This week, I’m slowing it down to learn the smallest ways to care for myself again. More fun. More woo. More meditation. And masks, sunscreen, and hand sanitizer goo all over all the things!

I love you. You’re my kind. Thank you for reading.

Gigantic hugs,
cat

PS. I know it isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I've been happy to finally open up my Tarot practice for friends. I will write more about that in the next Tarot letter. Will ya look at that? I've promised 2 written pieces of output for the next week. Guess, I'm locked in. ✨😜🌞
