What vibrates higher than Love?

My community bubble vibrates higher than Love!

My family moved in 2020 to be closer to where our children played competitive soccer. Prior to moving, we had no life because of the daily travel to soccer. Since the move, we have gotten our personal lives back. 

Unfortunately, this neighborhood is not as diverse as I would like and at times it feels like a bubble. I had learned to steer clear of the social app Next Door because I was in awe of the things that were being discussed there.

Recently, I found myself in my own little bubble: A friend had recently taught me the differences about a specific product. It was interesting to me, and I found myself trying to share this with someone who was in a neighboring network.

When I tried to share the new wisdom, he appeared a bit defensive, and I observed his ego wall go up. I sincerely cannot say the last time I had a one-on-one experience like that. I felt I was sharing valuable information. 

This made me aware of my own bubble. I happen to LOVE my cozy bubble filled with “my” humans who aren’t afraid to feel the feels! And there was my aha moment: The people in my neighborhood Love their bubble too.   

Ignorance is truly bliss. 

Studies have been done that support that you are only as good as the people you surround yourself with. That's what I want to address this month. I am constantly telling my people how grateful I am for them.

And this includes YOU. I know I've shared before that I had set a very specific intention to attract a clientele that truly wants to do the work and that is in resonance with the same intentions as me. Yes, I'm taking credit for manifesting you! I love and adore you so much. You amaze me with your ability to do the hard things, to just jump in with both feet and honor the suffering that had been locked away for so many years - not an easy feat. I adore the way you have opened to all of the possibilities. I watch you in awe as you begin to create your experiences and manifest your desires.

You challenge me and help me to become the best version of myself every day. 

I feel blessed that my close girlfriends are comfortable to be 100% honest with me. They call me out on things when I'm not ready to step into it, but also inspire and cheer me on so that I feel supported and safe. We can truly have the hard conversations and clear the air and not take anything too personally. 

They challenge me and help me become the best version of myself every day.

Close friends can be mirrors for one another and sometimes share the same mirror, which may cause a lot of giggles. Friends tend to focus on the good and help us shine even brighter.

Here are five ways they challenge us and help us be authentic: 

• Honest Conversations: True friends aren't afraid to have those heart-to-heart talks, even if they're difficult. They challenge us by asking the hard questions that encourage us to dig deep and confront our beliefs and actions. 
• Calling Out Inauthenticity: Close friends just know when we're not being true to ourselves. They'll kindly call us out, reminding us to stay genuine. 
• Holding Space: When we share our fears, dreams, and struggles with our friends, it paves the way for authenticity. True friends create a safe space where we can be open and vulnerable without judgment. 
• Supporting Our Passions: Authenticity blooms when we pursue our passions. Close friends are here to cheer and motivate us to follow our dreams simply because they are our dreams! They remind us of what truly matters to us, and to go for it. 
• Respecting Differences: Our friends don't always agree with us, and that's a good thing. Experiencing diverse perspectives challenges us and helps us grow and evolve as we navigate through different viewpoints. It gives us a safe place to learn to disagree respectfully and without conflict. 

When friendships don’t feel authentic, or we don’t feel as connected or close as we would like, take a look back at these 5 ways, and see if there are any that you are not putting into your friendships. Pick a friendship you would like to feel more connected in and take a small step toward authenticity with that person. 

When we show up for our friends, we give them permission to show up for us and vice versa. Authentic connections with friends align us with our journey to help us feel safe in our light and shine brighter. 

There is NOTHING more fulfilling than being authentic. Authenticity vibrates at a higher frequency than Love! 

Much Love,
