Welcome to Week Thirty-two. It’s August now. Let’s all take a deep breath in and roar as we exhale!

I’m so happy to be into August, even if it has proven to be a messy month for me in years past. I’ve been spending tons of time reading and writing, and sending pages to my friends for cheer-reading. They’ve been giving really generative notes too. And I’ve been getting organized, taking care of business, ticking things off the to do list, and enjoying the art of my office coming together again, again, and again.

Maybe it’s the permeating Hermit vibes of our 9 collective year, where every single daily, weekly, and monthly number is amplified. Due to the fact that 9 can essentially be canceled out in any reduction calculation it appears in (truly, try some out, i.e. 1+9 = 10, 1+0 = 1), every core number this year becomes more of itself. Magnified, and polarized. Embodying both sides of the coin at the same time.

Meaning for this week…
