Hello there,

Happy Valentine's Day!

Truthfully, Valentine's Day is not my favorite. If you love it, enjoy and I hope it brings you all the yummy, gooey romance and love you long for. For me, it carries too much pressure and disappointment. Too many cheesy red hearts and formulaic romantic gestures. Also, get off my lawn you hoodlums, but leave those chocolates in the fancy box before you go!

Having said all of this, I have fashioned my own little self-love check-in based on the elements. I love doing an elemental check-in as a way to integrate the emotional, mental, spiritual/energetic, and physical aspects of myself. So while I may not be a fan of the Hallmark feel of this day, I do deeply honor the flow of love and how important it is to remember to also shine our love towards our self.

Let's do it together, shall we?

Water

How can the element of Water with its cleansing, flowing, changeable qualities support my self-love?

What are my emotions wanting to tell me?

Where can I bring water like flow to the stuck places?

Where is change wanted?

Have I let the flow of water sooth me and carry away the strain and stress of living?

Drink some water and feel the element of Water hydrating and flowing through your precious self.

Air

How can the element of Air which holds our thoughts and ideas, carries music and fragrance, support my self-love?

Where will I grant myself more freedom?

What vision am I moving toward?

What am I clear about?

Am I enjoying my favorite music, listening to soulful poetry, hearing the sounds of nature, enjoying a good book, smelling fragrant things?

Breathe some fresh air and feel the element of Air clear your head and oxygenate all of your precious cells.

Fire

How can the element of Fire with its heat and spark of life support my self-love?

What needs illumination in my life?

How am I expressing my creativity"

How am I tending my spirit?
What is inspiring me?

Light a candle and let the element of Fire illuminate and warm your precious life.

Earth

How can the element of earth, with its physicality and growth, support my self-love?

How am I tending my body?

What am I building?

Where is growth happening, where do I want growth?

What structures of support hold me safe?

How can I invite in more beauty?

Stand on the ground and feel how the element of Earth holds and supports your precious self.

A blessing for your week:

(Earth Magic by Steven Farmer)

May your focus be drawn to what has meaning, possibility, love, and beauty.

My Valentine wish for you is that your elemental self be well loved, well nourished and well honored by life and most importantly by you.

Until next time,
Sandi

Let's talk.

For the next few weeks I am opening up time to connect and hear what is simmering and challenging for you. Kind of "hopes and dreams" meets "welcoming space for real talk about what is hard" meets "clarity and next steps." I am not selling anything, I really want to know what is up in your world and offer what I can.

You’ll get a chance to talk through what you want, where you are stuck, get some insight and next steps, and I'll get to know what your needs and struggles are so I can better hone my offerings.

It can look like:

coaching on a stuck place or a dream vision
a card pull and deep dive into what it means for you
what those intense emotions are trying to say and how you can understand them better.
exploring your creative life and practice
or ? You tell me. What questions or exploration can I help you with?.

That's it. If working further together a good fit we can talk about that, but really I want these calls to be a place to discover and get support. Let me know if this is for you.

Reply to this email or contact me here and we will schedule a 30 minute time to meet over Zoom. Meetings will be on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays between 10am and 4pm Pacific Time.

So, what would support you right now? What questions about life and meaning are twirling in your head and heart? Just hit reply or click here and send me a message and we can get started.

xx,
S

Please pass this along to anyone you feel could use this right now. I'd love getting to know them.

work with me - support my writing and art - my everyday life
