Scared to stand out and take up space?

Shrinking yourself physically or emotionally to make others comfortable, or even for fear of being seen?

Do you tend to "keep your mouth shut" around others, rather than speaking your mind openly?

Our bodies are mirrors of our emotional health and mindset.

So if you live with chronic tightness, aches and pains, that's actually a physical manifestation of limiting beliefs you have about yourself.

Watch this week's 11-minute love letter video, the final installment of our 5-week series on living life unapologetically, to release all restriction and boldly take up space in life and business!

"I don't trust myself to be able to get my point across."

So this is week five of five in our deep dive into living life unapologetically. Yeah.

This has been a powerful, powerful series of living fully, right? And embracing our brilliance, living as if, as we discussed last week, we're already worthy, right?

There's nothing additional that needs to be done. We're worthy now. If you missed that, go back on YouTube, check it out. Watch that video.

This week, the spirit guides have said our topic is taking up space. Take up space. Do this with me. Spread your arms out. Open your chest. Breathe deep and exhale. Take up space, right?

Are you someone, if you are blessed vertically, if you're tall, do you tend to hunch, or stand with a slouch so that you appear shorter? Are you someone who feels a bit insecure about speaking up, so instead, rather than waste people's time, or be annoying and take up space, you tend to hurry yourself.

Do you hurry yourself when you're speaking, or not even express anything? In your home, by the way, is there no space for you, or is all your stuff crammed into the corner or shoved into a drawer? Are you afraid to really spread out so that you can be creative and expressive?

Right? No, that's not for you. That's for the kids. You're not allowed, right?

If that's you, be kind to yourself. Just because other people take up space doesn't mean that you are not allowed to. There's enough space for all of us. That's a tweetable, as Marie Forleo would say.

Know this, there's enough space for all of us. You are enough. The world is enough. There's enough time for all of us. Be kind to yourself.

‪Know this: There's enough space for all of us. Just because other people take up space, doesn't mean that you're not allowed to. Take up space, #unapologetically!

If you carry shame, right? Do you carry that shame around all ... You know, "I have something to say, but you know, everybody has something to say, and I don't really trust myself to get my point across, so instead of being articulate, and expressing openly, I'll be quiet, and watch everyone else try and fail, but at least, you know, I didn't try, so I didn't fail." I'm giving you a big hug if this is you. I know this is tough. Oh my goodness. Take up space.

But this week in particular, the guides are showing images of you decompressing your body. Stretch. Go ahead. Stand up, like right now. Stand up. Get up, get up, and reach over your head, tickle the ceiling, wherever you are, tickle it and just radiate your light in all directions.

Allow your hips to roll open. Stretch your jaw, right? Your eyes, stretch your eyes. Yeah. Roll your shoulders. Roll them open. Do freestyle, whatever you need to do to open up any tightness in your body. Take up space.

Be kind to yourself.

If you're afraid of taking up space in conversation, or even with your marketing, for example, to all my entrepreneurs and business owners, if you're uncomfortable being visible, and commanding attention, start with your body. Let's be clear. We're going to start internally. The healing starts with you.

You don't have to worry about anybody else, but instead, open your body first. Decompress, right? I can't show you this on camera, but if you were to hang over your knees and let your head be pulled down by gravity, you could even decompress your spine. So important.

So, it's essential for you, in living life unapologetically, to not be so compressed all the time. This is an apology for being in the same space as everyone else, and this is affirming that there's not enough space for you. Trust me, the universe is big enough to handle you. In all your imperfections and all your awesomeness, the universe is big enough.

Come out and play. Make it open, and even if it's a bit messy, whatever, right? Be kind to yourself. You don't have to do it perfectly.

So take up space, and stretch especially. Stretch open your body. Imagine, by the way, as you stretch your body, filling the space with your energy, as if you were shining light and radiating light into the entire room, into the entire building, out into the town, out into the state, around the country, and out into the world, right?

Radiate that permission to take up space. Do it for your brothers and sisters who are in extreme poverty, right? Who are oppressed, and depressed, and repressed. Open your body on behalf of our tribe, on behalf of our tribe. Take up space.

I'm hearing the Oracle Cards calling the energy this week, again is our last with the daily guidance from the Angels, another Oracle Cards deck, one of the many that have been donated here at the dojo, always accepting donations. Okay, Angels. What do we need to know right now, about taking up space? Cupid. Beautiful. Aw, there's so much love in this card, Cupid. Oh, the heart bubble. So sweet.

"We send great waves of love into your heart and mind, awakening your love for life itself. Your clear decision to accept and enjoy romance has triggered this awakening. Allow yourself to spontaneously celebrate love in all of its glorious aspects."

So, my guides are telling me ... This Angel card has come forward in particular, for you to welcome love into your life. Yes, romantic love. Yes, physical love. Yes, emotional love. Yes, love. Opening up to receive more love in your life starts with you being open and decompressed, right? Take up space.

Give yourself permission to say, "Hi. What's your name?" To all of my single people out there, take up space, get yourself a ... like, you know, a seat at the coffee shop and type on your laptop conspicuously. Take up space, and if you are married, or with a partner, your lover, take up space with them. Like, "I desire to be with you," or "I'm going to be in your space because I love you," yeah? Take up emotional space. You can say what you need and you can express yourself. This is your permission.

This week in particular, take up space. How are you going to do it, right? Are you just going to start with the physical stretching more, and making sure that your body physically is open and lubricated, or are you also going to take it the emotional and social level? Are you going to take up space in your relationships and interactions?

Comment below on YouTube, on Facebook, send me an email back, right? I want to hear it. How are you taking up space. I love love and I love love letters, so send me a mail. Send me a love letter in the mail. I just got one. Yay! Thanks, Johanna. Hers is right there, that white piece of paper, pink writing. So beautiful. Thank you, goddess.

And, make sure you subscribe on YouTube so that you get these love letters first every week, all right? Live life unapologetically.

We'll see you next time. Bye.

Notice how you feel at that moment - you're already healing!

SHARE THIS! You’d be surprised how many people you know right now are in desperate need of healing and could use this information to change their life. If you can read this, you know someone who needs this Love Letter!

Want spiritual support on your healing journey but don't know where to start? Let's work #together!

Click the pink button below to take your Abundance Energy Jumpstart Assessment with Victoria and jumpstart your healing journey, today! 

This is week three of four, and we have been exploring the power of getting into the vortex, and staying there, in business.

This is our new role. Whether or not you choose to live a heart-centered and mission-driven lifestyle and take your business to the next level is up to you. But if you're on that path with me, then jump on this train, because we are headed there: to having a vortex-based business and making sure our career is juicy, delicious and inspiring, so that we enjoy the journey to success and impact.

If every time I say vortex, you're wondering what the heck is that, go ahead and go back on my blog at VictoriaWhitfield.com and start from part one of this four-part series. If you're ready, let's begin. This week in particular - or as we say in Reiki, since I'm a Reiki master, we say “just for today” - what the guides would like us to focus on is playing the right game in business. Last week, we started playing the game of “spot the energy drain”, where we ran an anti-vortex audit of the business.

...By the way, how is that going? Ding, ding! Accountability bell! The accountability alarm is ringing! Comment below, or send me an email back at info@VictoriaWhitfield.com. Let me know: Did you do the audit, or are you just watching these and thinking, “this is so entertaining!” and not actually doing anything? The transformation comes when you take action. There's a reason why the word attraction ends in action, okay?

Last week, we started playing the game of “spot the energy drain”, while taking an audit of all the things that kick you out of the vortex. With love, I must tell you that you don't want to play that game too much, because wherever your awareness goes, energy flows. Some of you may have had the experience that as you're doing your audit, more of the crap starts coming out and rearing its ugly head. It's a bit of a slippery slope, and hey, attraction is attraction. Like attracts like.

So, let’s play the right game going forward, now that you've got your audit and you're working on it or the team's working on it, or now that you've already implemented lovely new processes to make sure that those drains don't exist anymore. The right game that we want to play, from this point forward, is “raise the roof.” Raise the roof, baby! Just for today, we're going to focus on raising the roof: making sure that we are searching now in every experience, every customer interaction, every touch point of the marketing, every bit of paperwork, in all the little touches around the office space, in how you feel getting ready to go to work, or how you feel coming home afterward – in all these things we're going to raise the roof.

This entails specifically looking at each situation asking “how can this be even better?” In one of the books I was reading on manifesting, I'm always tossing another one up and around, the writer recommended a verbal game to play with a friend called “wouldn't it be nice if...” and “wouldn't it be even better if...” and fill in the blank. Then the two of you keep going back and forth. Another one of my mentors also describes this as doing a “Groundhog Day”, where you look back and ask yourself, “what didn't go well?” And then ask, “if we were going to redo that again, how could we make it even better?”

With that in mind, I'm calling our game the game of “raising the roof.” Your upper limit is currently determining how much joy, abundance, attraction, turn-on, excitement, and peak state that you're capable of sustaining on a day-to-day basis. Tony Robbins calls this “raising your standards”,  or in a mental way, bringing up the floor beneath you a few levels.

A lot of my clients are already high achievers. Hey there to all of my clients by the way... thank you for your support, and it's such an honor to work with you and your teams. We as a tribe have got to work on raising the roof now, because although your standards may already be high compared to most people, comparing your level standards to others’ doesn’t really cut it, because it doesn't necessarily mean that you feel totally pleasured, inspired, creative, free-flowing, or filled with a sense of ease, support, safety, and protection while YOU are at work. Screw how other people feel and think: this is about you and how you feel only!

Just for today, I want you to look to ask, “how can we make this even better? How can I raise the roof? This is making me joyful, but what would make me even more happy would be XYZ...” Opening up to asking those questions strategically, and looking with that perspective takes a good business to a great business. It takes a nice partnership to a fantastic partnership. Takes your idea of “maybe one day I'm going to be happy,” to “oh, my goodness, I'm happy right here and now!” because you're living in the vortex. The more you look for how things could get even juicier, the more juicier things get. It's a positive catch-22!

I'm hearing the oracle cards calling in the energy, and the angels of abundance are here to help us raise the roof on our career and our business. All right let's do this let me get these cards out. Okay: Angels, what do we need to know right now about raising the roof, just for today and for every today that we have? What do we need to know about raising the roof?

Ooh, here we go. “Moonlighting. You can start working on your dream career part-time while keeping your other job to pay the bills. Soon, your dream career will take flight and fully support you.” This is a wonderful counterpoint to supporting what we're talking about this week, and this is where we'll leave off. The angels are talking about moonlighting because you may be happy or fine where you're at, say, in your career right now, but something inside of you has been saying, "Is that all there is?" or, "I'm focused on not being sad," or "I'm focused on not being unhappy, but I wish there was more" or, "I'm so focused on not being in pain," right, but what would it be like to be pain-free? Or, "What I'm focused on is marketing to get clients and generating sales calls,” but what would be even better is if the clients were coming to me and I had a team out there doing the booking and follow-up for those sales calls, or even doing the sales calls, too, for me!

Moonlighting is essentially good for creating thinking space for you. So, maybe some of you are night owls. I know someone in particular who's watching and reading this right now, where it's late at night or really early in the morning, when you have enough quiet time to think big. You have enough space to access your expanded perspective. By the light of the moon, what's calling you? What's that next level vision? What would be even better? Maybe during the day you’re working in your accounting firm, but in the evening you’re building up your non-profit for battered women, or writing out the copy for that VIP program, or writing your book. Whatever it may be, what is your moonlight work?

Comment below. Send me an email back at info@VictoriaWhitfield.com. I'd love to hear it. Tell me what are you going to start doing to “raise the roof” on your already fabulous business now. Let's take it to the next level this week!

If you need support in doing that, or you're having a hard time seeing past your current “roof” or upper limit right now, things are fine and you really can't imagine anything better, then go to www.VictoriaWhitfield.com/contact/ and get on my calendar. Trust me, between me and my guides, we'll help you see an even better future for you and show you how to get there.

All righty! That's it for this week. Make sure you subscribe on YouTube so that you get these love letters first, every week. Hit the share button for someone who you know and love who needs to “raise the roof” in their career and business... And I'll see you next week. Bye!

Just for today...

Play the game of “raise the roof” at work, especially with your clients and colleagues.

Suggest and improvement and make it a fun and friendly competition to see who can come up with the most fabulous, juicy idea of how to make things better.

Notice how you feel in that moment - you're already healing!

Hello there. I am Sensei Victoria Whitfield, your business reiki master. And it's my joy to get to support empathic entrepreneurs and business owners like you in getting and staying grounded and clear in mind, body and business.

Welcome back to another installment of your weekly love letter from the dojo at naturalintuition.com and victoriawhitfield.com, my blog. These are your sources for channeled holistic stress management techniques and guidance for developing your natural intuition. Whether you're looking to improve the quality of your personal and professional life, let this love letter be your reminder that you are not alone and that together we can make that happen.

Let's schedule a chat, and see how I can help you...

 

This is week two of four of our exploration of getting into the vortex in business.

It’s a whole month-long affirmation that your role, should you choose to accept it and choose to notice, is to get and stay in a high-vibrational state in your professional life.

This week in particular, my guides are saying that we have got to focus on doing an anti-vortex audit. Now, pause, if you don't know what a vortex is yet, and you're like, "Victoria, what the heck are you saying?" Maybe this is your first video. Go ahead, stop, go back on the blog at victoriawhitfield.com, start at week one. We go in depth explaining what a vortex is, and why that's important to your business.

But for those of you who are ready: let's go. This week in particular, or as we say in Reiki, just for today, we're going to focus on doing an anti-vortex audit in your business and in your company. Tell me if this has ever happened to you: You're talking about one of your offerings and there's a part that is kind of annoying, so you communicate that like: "We can just skip over this part, that's not that big of a deal. What we're really focusing on is blah, blah, blah." Or, maybe this has happened to you: When you're getting ready to go to work, you're kind of stressing about that one person, that one colleague, that one client that you're going to have to come across today, and you think “oh my gosh, shields up!” Right? All my professional empaths and entrepreneurs out there know about putting their shields up for sure.

Be kind to yourself. If we have paperwork that is so annoying, or you hate the way those pens write, it just drives you crazy. Or that one door that never really closes. All of these are wonderful examples of things that kick you out of the vortex in your business and in your workplace. Wouldn't it be a revolution if everybody employed by the company -- and, by the way, if you're a solo entrepreneur, you're a company of one -- wouldn't it be nice if you and if we all as a team were to notice all the little areas, all the little snags on the flow of abundance, creativity, productivity and creation in the business?

Wouldn't it be amazing if we were able to see it, lay eyes on it, make a list of it, and then, boom, boom, boom, smash them all? Take care of them all? Because, here's what happens: When you have a business and work place that is in the vortex, it's a pleasure to come to work. Being in the vortex as a team, being in the vortex as a CEO, a founder, is such a pleasurable experience. Not only that, but it increases your profitability. Because it's speeds your ability to solve problems, and to holistically solve problems, because you're coming at the issue from an elevated mindset.

It increases your energy because there are no snags. No things that are kicking you out or draining you as you go through day. Instead, you're getting energized more and more as you go throughout the day. It makes you more attractive because you come off a lot more confident, full of life and energy. Then lastly, increases morale. Whether it’s the morale of one person, or the morale of the entire team.

Whether you're coming to work at your kitchen table, opening up that laptop, and getting on the phone by yourself, or if you're – winking to all my peeps at AT&T, who I have spoken at around five or six times on this topic – you're coming to work thinking, "Oh my god. I have the ‘pleasure’ of allowing extra time to get through this multi-level parking deck and find my way to my desk finally.” LOL! Being in the vortex and making sure that being at work is a pleasurable, inspiring, and energizing experience benefits you. Doesn't matter if you're starting out or if you're highly successful and highly actualized already.

The way that you do an anti-vortex audit of your business, of your company is, you keep track of – this week in particular, or as we say in Reiki, just for today, keep track of – all the things that kind of rub you the wrong way or are bit of a turn-off. Before we get to the Oracle cards, because I hear them calling in the energy. Here’s a quick story.

When I was manifesting, several years ago, this office space, I was declaring, "I want to a fireplace. I want two windows that are floor-to-ceiling. I want to be able to paint the walls. I want to have a front porch. I want to have a lawn. I want to have a backyard where I can have my fire pit, and I want it to be quiet. I want to be on the first floor. I want to have a sign." Yada, yada, yada. Writing all the things on my goal card. When I was writing all of that out, I didn't know that I was going to get literally to the “T” everything that I ask for. Should I ask for more? Duh! You best believe I will next time.

During the manifesting process me and my business partner at the time were looking at different spaces. We came across one that was, you know, “seemingly workable.” Everything was provided. All of the amenities. All of the toiletries were provided in this large house, co-working space. Okay. Here's where it gets funky. I used the facilities, went to wash my hands, and the soap, waaa, kicked me out of the vortex. It's smelled like chemicals, and texture-wise, it felt like a loogie, ah. It dried my hands out completely, and there was no lotion. I came out of the bathroom, I was like, "We cannot, we cannot be here! The soap is horrible!"

Of course, my business partner's looking at me and said, "Are you kidding me? The soap!? This place is great! Everything's included. Blah, blah, blah." I was adamant, "Nope. I don't get a right feeling about this." If I wasn't crazy enough to listen to how I feel, I would not have manifested this space that I am now enjoying today. By the way, we have fabulous soap here. It's in fact called Ecstasy Soap. Beautiful French milled soap here that smells and feels delicious. That matters to me, and that was a sign for me that that place was not a right-fit.

Now, I know it's a bit of a funky example, but I put my intuition first. How I feel is what matters most to me. My experience of coming to work and being at work had better be at the level that I desire, or else I'm not going to be able to focus as a creative. The same goes for you. That's one little example, but yeah, it could even be the soap. Got it? Do an anti-vortex audit of your business, of your company.

Now I'm going to pull an Oracle card. Angels of Abundance oracle cards deck – we're journeying with them all month as we get ready also for the Abundance Mindset Makeover Retreat in Lennox, Massachusetts this month. If you're not there yet, go ahead over to victoriawhitfield.com/contact. Let's chat. You should be there. Okay. Let's get into the vortex together. Angels of Abundance: What do we need to know right now about doing an anti-vortex audit of our company this week? Hey. Very good. It says, “Attracting, not chasing.” Yes! "Anything or anyone you chase after, will run the other way. Because the fears underlying chasing energy. Instead, attract what you need by sending out love, gratitude and welcoming energy." This card couldn't be more perfect. Here's why:

When you feel attracted to the work place, when you feel attractive in your professional giving – whether you're giving to your customers, giving to your clients, giving to your team, or giving to your community – when you feel attractive, you are attracting. It's the law of attraction that's states, "Like is drawn unto like." When you feel good at work, when there's camaraderie, high morale, productive, open, vulnerable conversations going on, then you’re in the vortex and attracting more good things. Not everything is roses, though. Sometimes we need to have some tough conversations. If we feel attracted to the conversation because we know that it's grounded and coming from the heart, though, this attracts in more abundance.

When you're pushing the old letterhead, and pushing the disgusting soap, and pushing through the tough relationships that you have with your vendors, for example, or when you're pushing to make a nightmare client a dream client – that's chasing energy. The specific words are, "Anything or anyone you chase after will run the other way. Because of the fears underlying chasing energy."

The point of you running an anti-vortex audit of your company, just for today, of your business, of your workplace, just for today, is to eliminate any and all fear, any and all negativity from your experience. You deserve it. It's possible. You can do it.

Go ahead and comment below, or send me an email back at, info@victoriawhitfield.com. What comes up for you? By the way, what did you notice? I would love to hear what came out in your audit. Go ahead and post that below and share it with the tribe so that we lift the vibration of all our work spaces. Let's change the face of how business is being done. All right? That's it for this week. Make sure you subscribe on YouTube, so that you get these love letters first every week. I'll see you next time. Bye.

Just for today...

Run an anti-vortex audit of your company, business or workplace, and don’t hold back.

Track and make note of everything that annoys you, doesn’t feel good and kicks you out of your flow – from the way a pen writes all the way up to the way you feel about working with certain clients.

Notice how you feel in that moment - you're already healing!

Hello there. I am Sensei Victoria Whitfield, your business reiki master. And it's my joy to get to support empathic entrepreneurs and business owners like you in getting and staying grounded and clear in mind, body and business.

Welcome back to another installment of your weekly love letter from the dojo at naturalintuition.com and victoriawhitfield.com, my blog. These are your sources for channeled holistic stress management techniques and guidance for developing your natural intuition. Whether you're looking to improve the quality of your personal and professional life, let this love letter be your reminder that you are not alone and that together we can make that happen.

Let's schedule a chat, and see how I can help you...

 

In our new series here at the Love Letters, what we are going to be talking about is the power of getting and staying in the vortex in business. 

This series is for all of my entrepreneurs who are Abraham-Hicks fans. Hey, I’m right there with you! Also, shout out to all of you who have been joining me on Facebook every Monday at 7:30 AM for another reading of Ask and It Is Given. We've been working on it for quite a long time now, just an excerpt a week. It's been amazing. It's so good for you and I together to put ourselves in a positive mindset, going forward in the day and in the week.

In this series, though, we're talking about getting and staying in the vortex in business: why you want to do it, how you're going to do it, why it's important, and the benefits and the results for you that you get from getting and staying in the vortex. Let's get to it.

First of all, what the heck is a vortex?  Okay, rest of the tribe who's watching and thinking, "You're using jargon. What are you saying?" A vortex is a mental-emotional “place” for you to get into. It's a feeling state. If you've ever felt that like you're in the zone, or as Tony Robbins would say, feeling like you're in a “peak state”, you're really feeling in a state of flow, feeling unstoppable, confident, or “turned on” and “juicy”, as Mamagena would say. That's what being in the vortex is.

When we are in “the vortex” - as Abraham Hicks would call this - we are totally in alignment with receiving and allowing all that we have asked in all that we've written out on our goal cards, put up on the vision boards, prayed for, written letters to the universe, made goals and visions and strategies and business visions, mission statements, and so on and so forth. When we are in the vortex, we're in the state of allowing, where we can receive with effortless ease all that we have asked for, because when you ask, it is given. It's hard to receive what you're being given when you're white-knuckling with the universe. When we're in the vortex, it feels so good that our hands open and we're capable of receiving that which we have asked for.

So, in your personal life or maybe in your spiritual life as you're developing your own relationship with your energy, maybe you've considered the importance of feeling good and the importance of feeling connected to nature or tuned in or tapped in, turned on already. But have you considered being in the vortex and being turned on or in peak state, so to speak, in your business, in your professional life?

This is what we're going to be talking about all month and, especially, at the next upcoming two-day live retreat, The Abundance Mindset Makeover Retreat in Lenox, Massachusetts. At the filming of this video, it is scheduled next for September 15th and 16th, 2018. If you're watching this at another time of year or another year, etc., the teachings are just as valid. By the way, it's an annual retreat so just look for the next one on my website, victoriawhitfield.com.

For this week in particular, I want you to consider the power of getting into your peak state of being in flow, because when you are, you are confident. Write this down: When you are confident, you manifest anything you want. When you are confident, you manifest ANYTHING you want! There's nothing stopping you when you feel unstoppable because what matters most is how you feel.

Now in relationship to the vortex itself, the vortex is a feeling state. It's a, what I like to call, a “feeling bridge.” Imagine that there's a non-physical reality where all the things you ever imagined, hoped for and asked for wished for, envisioned and imagined for yourself - and, let's say, just focusing on your hopes professionally, for the sake of our conversation today. Then, in contrast, here we are in a physical 3-D reality. We're down here in physical reality, where there's bills and there's nightmare clients, where there's fatigue, and so on and so forth. We have all these limitations and circumstances down here in the current, manifested physical reality.

The vortex I like to think of as a bridge between those two realties. In fact, that bridge – once you are feeling in a high-vibrational state or feeling in your peak state, feeling confident and unstoppable, turned on and joyful – pulls down all of what's ready to come down into physical reality. It pulls it down from non-physical reality into physical reality. The vortex is a feeling bridge that pulls down non-physical reality, the things that you ask for, into physical reality, the things that you are seeing sight, sound, taste, touch, smelling, and so on.

This week in particular, or in Reiki, as we say, “just for today”, I want you to focus on how you feel. In fact, and this is what we're going to be talking about for the rest of the month, your number one role in business and in your career is to get and stay in the vortex. Now, we're going to be talking about why that is so important. It supercharges your abundance as well as the well-being and abundance of all those you are serving through your profession.

For now, the Oracle Cards are calling in the energy. This month we're journeying with the Angels of Abundance. This is another oracle cards deck by Doreen Virtue. Thank you, goddess Julie for gifting the Dojo with this deck. Asking: Angels of Abundance, what do we need to know right now about getting into the vortex in business and why it's important?

Words of Abundance. By the way, my team's been posting these oracle cards on my LinkedIn lately. If you want to see the card in more detail, go ahead and pop over and say hi on LinkedIn. Okay, it says: "You have the ability to instantly manifest abundance by choosing powerfully positive words. Always describe your own in the world's economic situation in loving and optimistic terms. That is what you attract for yourself and others." Here's where we're going to leave off this week.

Your words have power. In fact, what you speak is what you create. The stories that you tell are what create your world around you. Choose to tell a more empowering story. I know we spoke about that last month: Create a new story, tell a new story. Specifically look at the vibration of your words this time. Are you using words that are turning you on or inspiring belief, faith, positivity, and uplifting yourself and others? Or are your words communicating just how crusty, crunchy, awful and stressed-out and hopeless or held victimized you are feeling? Watch it.

Remember your role. We're just going to keep affirming it all month long. Your role in business and in your career is to get and stay in the vortex. Now I'm curious to hear what you have to say about that. Go ahead and comment below. Send me an email back at info@victoriawhitfield.com. That comes straight to me. Let me know what comes up for you around that.

Don't forget to ask about coming to the Abundance Mindset Makeover Retreat, our two-day live strategic spa retreat in Lenox, Massachusetts, September 15th and 16^th at VictoriaWhitfield.com/AbundanceMindsetMakeoverRetreat/.

I'll see you there. Share this! Share it with someone who you feel needs a shot from the vortex in their professional lives this week. Mwah. See you next time.

--

Just for today...

Be mindful how your words have power and create your reality.

Listen to the vibrational feeling of the words you use, to see if they feel uplifting and positive or draining and negative to YOU and only you, as you say them.

Notice how you feel in that moment - you're already healing!

Hello there. I am Sensei Victoria Whitfield, your business reiki master. And it's my joy to get to support empathic entrepreneurs and business owners like you in getting and staying grounded and clear in mind, body and business.

Welcome back to another installment of your weekly love letter from the dojo at naturalintuition.com and victoriawhitfield.com, my blog. These are your sources for channeled holistic stress management techniques and guidance for developing your natural intuition. Whether you're looking to improve the quality of your personal and professional life, let this love letter be your reminder that you are not alone and that together we can make that happen.

Let's schedule a chat, and see how I can help you...

 

This is week four of four in our series on talking about rocking your retrograde.

Whether or not you got to see the ones before that, make sure that you make the time to catch up on the series because this has been a vulnerable discussion that we're having, talking about the dark side and about when things aren't working out in business. How do we keep a positive mindset even though we're retrograding? Now, if you don't know what that means, if you think like, "Oh, is that something that a teacher does, retrograding? Is that like doing something backwards in time, like giving grades from before?" No. Go ahead, pause, go back on my blog on victoriawhitfield.com and start from the beginning of the series.

As this week four of four, we are being called as a tribe to change our stories specifically around, “am I breaking down or am I breaking through?” The stories that we tell ourselves as entrepreneurs, as women, as men, as individuals looking to live our best lives and create our life by design, the stories that we tell ourselves have power. And the more that we can tell ourselves a story of empowerment and uplift, positivity, and forward motion, the better. However, we can get into cycles of telling ourselves stories that are disempowering or stories that encourage us to hide, to protect, to shrink, to stop or retreat especially when things get uncomfortable.

Last week, we talked about leaning into the discomfort and learning how to do that. So that you are supported not just for this retrograde, if it's still retrograde time or any other retrograde or transition that you're going through in life and business, this week in particular, we've got to talk about telling a new story, a story of empowerment.

Let’s talk about the way that you reframe when things don't go as planned, which happens typically during regular retrograde as you and I both know and are well aware of by now in our conversation, or now as you've been experiencing in your life and business. ... By the way, leave a comment below about what hiccups have you been going through? Have you been feeling “the molt?” And if so, how's that been coming up for you? I'd really love to hear it. Comment below or send me an email back info@victoriawhitfield.com. That goes straight to me, so I'd love to hear that and support you.

The story that we want to tell ourselves and that we can specifically use to shift our challenging situation is converting what looks like a breakdown in to a breakthrough. Now, maybe it's your cellphone or your laptop or your car, et cetera. A piece of technology is having a breakdown, and for sure that is so frustrating, debilitating. It slows you down. It can really feel disempowering. It's such a frustrating experience because we've become so techno-dependent especially, too.

And with that as an example, how can we shift that from a story of breakdown to breaking through? Could it be that we're breaking through into a time to get the new car that I've been saying I'm going to get all this time or wishing and manifesting and goal-carding for all the time? This is a sign that I'm breaking through to that new paradigm. Or with the washing machine breaking down, could this be a breakthrough of not ignoring the little things in the background in your personal life and instead making sure that they're just as important as the business items and issues that you are placing your attention on?

Sometimes, what breaks through is remembering to value ourselves personally while being an entrepreneur and a business owner. Interesting? Eww, how icky is that? But I know if you're just like me, you have the same thing where when things get busy, or it's go time, the first thing that goes out the window typically is self-care, some aspect of living clean or taking care of home, et cetera. Guilty as charged! I'm hoping to go there with you. And if you're there too, send me an email back info@victoriawhitfield.com. Let's connect around that.

I also put together a webinar called the Abundant Business Lifestyle webinar series. You go to my website victoriawhitfield.com. It should be right there on the homepage for you to be able to go and sign up to view that webinar, where I go into detail of how I've had bad patterns in the past before I really started prioritizing my self-care at the same level as my business development, what happened and how I was able to turn that around, exactly how. Go ahead and claim that.

But today in particular, or as we say in the practice of reiki, “just for today,” let's focus is on shifting our story from breaking down, or this thing is breaking down, to “I'm breaking through.” This will really empower you not only for this retrograde but for all coming forward. I'm hearing the oracle cards calling in the energy. Let's tune in. We’re using the Indigo Angel oracle cards deck by Doreen Virtue. Thank you, thank you, Doreen, for all your inspiration and all your resources. I don't know how many oracle cards decks we have there at dojo but I've lost count. Okay, angels, what do we need to know right now about changing our story from breaking down to breaking through especially during retrograde? ...That was loud.

This is so good. I love the bubbles in her hair. Acceptance. The bubbles are like all the stuff that's on your mind, all those lovely bubbles. Acceptance. The angels are bringing the oracle card Acceptance forward for you this week in particular because this is to remind you to accept the gift even though it may be a dark gift, a gift that doesn't exactly look like something nice, but it's full of wisdom, learning, power, experience, progress and healing. This is about accepting the dark gift that comes our way, the learning opportunities that are coming up.

Things may look like they're breaking down but there's a gift in there: accept it. We can switch to a more receptive mode when things start to or appear to be breaking down. Perception is everything; it creates a reality where things appear to be breaking down. Specifically, change your story from “this is breaking down” to “I'm breaking through” and look at what's the gift that you're accepting in that experience.

Go ahead, comment below. Make sure you subscribe on YouTube so that you get these love letters first every week and if you are having a hard time accepting the ... I call them dark gifts. You may call them learning gifts. If you're having a hard time seeing them, receiving them and fully integrating that wisdom and learning that Source is trying to send you through these difficult experiences that are coming up for you, go ahead to victoriawhitfield.com/contact. Get on my calendar, share your story with me and let's talk about it. Let's connect and see how I can help.

All right, I'll see you next week. Bye.

Just for today...

Search for the hidden gift in every seeming “breakdown” that you’re experiencing.

When things look like they aren’t working out, pause, and choose to re-write the story of what’s happening to be a story of triumph and imminent breakthrough.

Notice how you feel in that moment - you're already healing!

Hello there. I am Sensei Victoria Whitfield, your business reiki master. And it's my joy to get to support empathic entrepreneurs and business owners like you in getting and staying grounded and clear in mind, body and business.

Welcome back to another installment of your weekly love letter from the dojo at naturalintuition.com and victoriawhitfield.com, my blog. These are your sources for channeled holistic stress management techniques and guidance for developing your natural intuition. Whether you're looking to improve the quality of your personal and professional life, let this love letter be your reminder that you are not alone and that together we can make that happen.

Feeling financially blocked?

Are your creative flow and abundance manifestations interrupted at best?

Have you been pushing and pushing to make progress in your business lately, but to seemingly no avail?

Guess what: the guides say you’re spiritually constipated. Yes, really.

And it’s time you got some relief!

Watch this week’s 11-minute Love Letter video, the second in our four-part series on Let It Go, to have a giggle about releasing your blocks in life and business.

"I'm always attracted to this specific type of person."

We're on week two of four in our exploration in a new series of letting go. So, last week we talked about why it's time for you to let go and exactly what are we letting go towards. If you didn't get to see that, hit stop now. Go back on YouTube or back on my blog at victoriawhitfield.com and rewatch that now.

Share this with your tribe if you know somebody who needs to let go of more so that they can receive. However, receiving is next week. I told you. I was not supposed to tell them that, but oh well. This week before we can even get there is release. We gotta release.

Take a deep breath in and let it go. This week in particular, we're talking about release and I have a bit of a strange thing to tell you, so bear with me. My guides want me to let you know that you've been experiencing symptoms of spiritual constipation. Oh yeah, hashtag me please. I feel so spiritually constipated. Let's get into this, right? Because I want you to have relief and release. Oh my goodness.

What are some symptoms of feeling backed up spiritually, right? For one, you are indecisive. You've a hard time knowing what's the right next step for you to take in your business or the right next hire for you. You have a hard time knowing what's the right next step for you in your personal life. What diet should I use? Where do I want to go on vacation et cetera. We have this creative block, and that's a symptom of being spiritually constipated.

Flowing from that, also is a lack of creative ideas. We're doing things and feeling like we're going around and around and around in circles, not moving forward. So, in the business side, for example, you're still marketing in the way that you've always marketed, and you have amazing programs and things worked before, but for whatever reason, you're still doing the things that worked before and they're not working. Hello, constipation.

Be kind to yourself if that's what's happening, right? Remember, remember. Gotta be kind. And then on the personal side, if you keep attracting the same kinds of relationships. I'm always attracted to this type of person or why is this person always attracted to me? I don't want this type of person in my life. That's another symptom of being spiritually constipated.

And lastly, a final symptom of more feeling spiritually blocked, is having persistent issues in your physicality, your physical body. Such as weight gain or inability to gain weight, a chronic pain or that pain in your hip that always just keeps following you, it wasn't always there but it's not persistent. So chronic physical issues is another symptom of being spiritually backed up.

If you've got a yes, yes, and yes, this is the week where it's time for you to start your detox. I mean constipation is constipation is constipation. I can't believe y'all are making me say this, but hey I'm not going to hold back from you. If I have a message for you, you need to hear it.

Know this: ‪Low financial flow and experiencing the same problems over and over are symptoms of spiritual constipation in #business. 💩 LOL!

But this week in particular, you've got to start a new detox program. Now I know, maybe you've seen me mention different forms of detoxes in previous videos. But this week in particular, we went you to adopt one that you haven't done before. That's what I'm hearing specifically to recommend for my guys. Whether it's ... and I mean it, I mean like physical detox if it's psyllium husk cleanses or doing dry brushing, getting a body scrub, going on a juice cleanse, or only just a water fast. Make sure, by the way I'm not a doctor, so if you are not under medical supervision, be careful. Make sure you talk to someone who can help you through taking on a new detox program if you are changing what you're putting into your body.

Again, as always, be kind to yourself. But the body, once the body is in alignment with releasing and letting go. If it's releasing layers of skin or releasing fluids and waste, your energy body sees that and, quite frankly, your bank account sees that too. Wherever awareness goes, healing flows. And awareness breeds more awareness. When you start clearing yourself, and taking better care of this body, this physical body, it has a trickle effect. It ripples out.

The ripple effect continues into the way that you approach your relationships because you are more mindful. You've decided to be more mindful with your body.  Now you're being more mindful with the people that you're letting in your life. Now you're being more mindful with the types of clients that you're interacting. Now you're being more mindful with your vendors and how you're spending your money in business. And so on and so forth.

So, this week, in particular, is release week. Release week. Time for you to get it out. If you need to write it out, if you need to go to the bathroom and get it out. If you need to sweat it out, work it out, dance it out. This is release week. We're gonna come in with the Oracle cards of the week. Well, of the month, actually. Indigo Angel Oracles cards, this is the deck that we're journeying all month with. Let's see.

So we're letting go, and angels, what do we need to know about releasing and doing cleanses and detoxes? What's going on that we need to know about that? Ooh, beautiful. Think about it. Think about it. My guides are saying that the angels are bringing this card forward, in particular, because they want you to re-evaluate how you are treating your body before you go into any detox programs first. This is a re-evaluation before release.

And I really thank you, angels, thank you so much for bringing that forward, because just for today I want you to think about and really track, how you are taking care of your physical and spiritual health. You know your physical body is a stand-in and a representation, an avatar if you will, for your mindset, your consciousness, your spiritual body here in this lifetime.

And how you treat this is a microcosm of that macrocosmic health of your energy. How you do anything is how you do everything.  So, go through and take stock of what is my daily self care routine, if there is any. And am I promoting the healthy release of toxic energy out of my body, out of my relationships, out of my business, and out of my life.

Now, let me know what comes up for you around this. Go ahead, send me an email back at info@victoriawhitfield.com. Or you can go and grab the team for me at victoriawhitfield.com/contact and let us know if you need help releasing.

If you want some more suggestions on what would be the best detox for you, or reiki master here, I do detox attunements, that set your energy to release and clear over the next three to six weeks.

So if you're interested in that, again, reach out to my team at victoriawhitfield.com/contact and we can get you set up with that.

All righty, so we will see you soon. All right, muah, bye.

Are you uncomfortable receiving compliments?

Is it weird for you to ask for *and* to receive help from others?

Feeling out of place in your new position at work, like you don't deserve it?

Being seen is always uncomfortable; that's why we tend to hide our gifts, rather than share them openly and often.

But positive discomfort can also be a sign of growth and good changes happening, if you know what to look for.

Watch this week's 10-minute Love Letter, the final installment in our 4-week exploration of the Power of Positive Community, to harness the healing power of Evolutionary Visibility in your life and business!

"Sometimes I feel like I don't belong."

This is our fourth and final week of a deep dive into the power of positive community. So if you haven't seen the previous installments, I highly recommend them. Stop, go back, and watch them on YouTube, or on my blog at victoriawhitfield.com.

This week, for our fourth and final installment, where we're going to land the plane of our journey through the power of positive community is what happens when you actually are in positive community, what you can expect. And it is ... Drum roll please, evolutionary visibility.

Evolutionary visibility. It is so powerful, and this phrase came straight from my guides. I've tried to read more on it, and I haven't really heard of it. So you heard it here first.

Evolutionary visibility is the true essence and power of being in positive community.

Last week we covered the lions and the kittens, right? Where's your mindset at? And we covered the concept of the lioness who grew up around cats, so that finally when she was come of age and fully-formed, it was a bit of a surprise and a shock feeling completely out of space.

What would happen if she finally got around a pride of lions? This is where we're going this week in particular. Are we ready for it? So evolutionary visibility is the experience of others seeing you as your true self, your higher self, and because of that, they hold you to that standard and call that out of you.

And with all of that support around you, you evolve into your full and highest self.

It takes two parts, however. When we are first the lioness, that grew up around cats and kittens, we have a certain self image of ourself. We are a cat. We are a kitten, yes? And then when we get around lions, there's this fear, a sense of, I don't belong.

Maybe you have experienced this in your business because you've enrolled in group coaching or you joined a networking group or association. Or maybe you moved your business to a more premium area. Or you may have even rebranded at a higher vibration, right?

And there's this kind feeling that you have where "I'm a fraud. I'm a fraud. I am not what that says I am. I am not what you say I am. I am not what the branding and those ... I'll never be enough. I'll never be enough."

That fraud and not enough-ness, our inner-achiever, comes out with a vengeance, especially when we're growing.

This is a sign of growing pains, however. And especially if you're feeling discomfort. It's extra important for you to be surrounded by lions who will champion you and celebrate you in your power and say, "Yeah. Bring out those claws. Yeah, let your mane shake out.

You're brilliant. You're gorgeous. You're fabulous. You're an expert. You're the best of the best." Those type of cheerleaders and champions cause us to evolve. They're like a mirror, a cosmic mirror. All brilliant loving people are cosmic mirrors, and when they stand in front of you, they reflect your greatness back to you.

With that, the power of positive community is allowing yourself to be seen in that light. There's an element of vulnerability that comes being seen as brilliant. If you think of the light, like the lamp back there, when you first turn a light on, there's a bit of an adjustment in your eyes, if you're sensitive to light.

Know this: All brilliant, loving people are Cosmic Mirrors. When they stand in front of you, they reflect your #greatness back to you. Allow yourself to be seen as brilliant by your #positive community.

Or even especially if you've been in the dark for so long. It hurts at first, but then you adjust.

That pain is the opening of your eyes, the relaxing of your ocular muscles to allow for more light to flood in. The same thing happens to us emotionally and mentally when we open up about our life purpose, or we open up around, this is what I really want to focus on, or this is who I really am.

There's a vulnerability in that opening. But when you're around positive community, if and when you open vulnerably, it is powerful. And those cosmic mirrors of those loving people will reflect back to you the brilliance that you are. Your mindset may be a couple light years behind you, but if you stick around that positive community long enough, you will adjust and relax into your greatness.

So this week in particular, the guides are asking you to bring more evolutionary visibility into your life. Being safe and vulnerable and open in your brilliance and in your power, and because others are reflecting that and championing it and celebrating it in you, you can evolve and step fully into it.

I'm hearing the oracle cards calling in the energy. It's the fairies. Healing With the Fairies by Doreen Virtue. Okay. And I'm always accepting donations if you have an oracle card deck that you would love to donate to the dojo, go to my "About Me" page. There's a "Give Back" link, and there's all the information that you'd like for donating. Thank you, by the way, in advance.

Fairies, what do we need to know right now about evolutionary visibility and positive community? Stepping into our greatness and positive community. Don't shuffle anymore, they said. Ooh. New opportunity. This is where we're going to leave off for this week. Really exciting.

So the fairies are bringing forward a card that says, "You have, within one degree of separation of you ... " Moi, right here. "You are directly connected to the opportunity of stepping into positive community and evolutionary visibility being in that community." Are you aware of that? Be on the lookout. There is a new opportunity coming your way to be part of a next level positive community. A next level space and group of people who see you and celebrate you in your power and in your brilliance.

I highly recommend that you go and check out my visionary shaman circle at victoriawhitfield.com/jointhetribe. Go there, read through it. That is the next level tribe that we have here at the dojo of lions and lionesses who are championing you in your high vibrational presence.

But what's your new opportunity that's coming through? What positive community are you going to commit to join? Is it my Visionary Shaman Circle?

Go ahead and send me an email back or comment below what comes up for you around this. Do you want to be held in that brilliant space of evolutionary visibility? Curious to hear it.

So that's it for this week's Love Letter video, and for our four week deep dive on the power of positive community. Make sure you subscribe on YouTube so that you get these Love Letter videos first every week.

And remember, if there's any way that I can help you balance your mind, body, and business, just let me know at victoriawhitfield.com/contact.

We'll see you there. Bye.

This is a new series and my guides have shown me that we are going to be talking about what is it like to be an empath entrepreneur: an entrepreneur that happens to be highly empathic, or someone who is highly empathic, who happens to be an entrepreneur.

Over the next four weeks we're going to be journeying on this topic. And this week in particular, my guides asked us to shed some light on what are the unique challenges of being an empath and owning a business, being empathic and leading your team at your office. For those of us who are called to serve in a professional status of some sort, whether you are the manager of your shift or your office, whether you are the owner of your business or you are just getting started serving more clients as an entrepreneur, or even in the prelaunch stage – regardless of your current status, you are called to serve at a greater level. If that's you, then this one is to support you in particular. Make sure that you subscribe on YouTube so that you get your first notification every week of when these new love letters come out. Let's get to it. The pitfalls of being an empath entrepreneur.

If you've never really heard of the term being empathic, let me break it down for you really quick. It is not the same as being empathetic. When you have empathy for others, this is a choice that you make to see yourself walking in somebody else's shoes. That's a compassionate mental move that you make to better communicate with others around you, and that's awesome.

However, being empathic removes your choice. This is where whether you want to or not, you feel what it's like to be in another person's emotions or to be in another person's physical body. You can feel the pain sensations that are going through somebody's body while you're interacting with them, or even if they're far away. That's being empathic. You can also feel emotionally when someone may be suppressing or hiding more intense emotion such as anger or great big joy, as if they're sitting on it, hiding it underneath a performance of a different, more acceptable emotion. You may pick up on that, or even in a space where someone passed away and they're not even physically there anymore, but you are able to sense the sadness or sense the happiness in their home. That is a sign that you are empathic.

Now, for those of you who already know that you're empathic, it can be super challenging. Because you are an emotional sponge. And as an emotional sponge, this is extra tough if you work in retail, or you have to handle a high volume of people physically coming to you. Maybe if you work at a stadium, serving crowds or you work at a storefront serving walk-ins. Your job requires you serve whoever walks in; maybe as a salon owner, you don't know who's the next person that's going to walk in to want a haircut. Or as an artist. Who's the next person who is going to come around and take a look at your art and want to give you a commission. Especially in those types of vocations, you don't really know who you're going to get – being a massage therapist is another one.

Be kind to yourself because you, more than ever, have got to learn about how to protect your energy, as an empath entrepreneur, as a professional who happens to be empathic.Why? Because you're an emotional sponge. So, shall we take a look at what can happen when you’re like this? By the way, comment below or send me an email back at team@VictoriaWhitfield.com of your Empath Entrepreneur experiences. Ok?

See if some of the following challenges describe your previous situations. Maybe you've come in, you're juiced, you're ready to go, happy for the work day and a client, customer or prospect comes in and just derails all that good energy and sucks the life out of you. Have you ever had that? Those vampire clients and customers? Oh Man. Other pitfalls of being an empath and a professional person, or a business owner who's an empath is that you have so much love and so much passion for what you do, but unfortunately because of the emotions, the crappy emotions of the people that you work with, whether they're on your team or your clients, it just sucks the life out of you.

Perhaps you're at that point where you're feeling, “is this really what I should be even doing with my life? In the beginning it was so great, but now the people are just vultures.” Oh my goodness. Be kind to yourself, again if that's your situation. Other pitfalls of being an empath entrepreneur is that where some people are able to get so much done in a day and just be able to maintain their focus and, wow, smash through their goals, breakthrough, breakthrough, breakthrough... for some reason, something about the environment that you're sitting in or something about the people that you're interacting with just completely sucks the energy and the focus, the productivity out of you.

Maybe it's your loved ones who derail you if you work at home, for example. This is another really tough situation that we're going to talk about over the next four weeks. Maybe your home life is not that supportive, and as you are still absorbing all of the frustration of your spouse and the anxiety of your kids into your body, you still have got to be on that client call. If you're a marketing coach or you're a life coach that does video coaching, you've got to be ready to be supportive while your energy is all funked up. As an empath entrepreneur, you sponged up, soaked up so much negativity, anxiety, anger, frustration from your environment that it's affecting your ability to perform at work. If any of that speaks to you, please stay tuned.

We're going to be journeying with all month with Doreen Virtue's, Archangel Michael Oracle Cards deck, because Archangel Michael is a wonderful archetype for protection and covering. We have got to make sure that your energy feels nourished as you get out there and serve in a big way. You're called to it and you deserve to feel safe and sound and full of life and energy no matter who or what you are called to serve.

Okay, Angels, what do we as empath entrepreneurs need to know right now, especially when we're dealing with the challenges, the frustrations of being an empathic person who happens to own a business or who is a professional serving others? Whoa... We've got some pretty serious energy going here. What do we need to know? This card on top – hey! This is where we'll leave off for the week: Lean on God and the angels for support.

“Lean on God and the angels for support.My prayer: Dear God and the angels, I give you this situation now and completely. I step out of the way and allow divine miracles to shine through everyone and everything involved.”

As an empath more than anybody else in business, more than any other kind of person out there who is a professional and has a career and decides to participate professional activities, YOU have got to lean on Spirit, whatever that means to you. For those of you who are atheist, this means leaning on your human potential, your belief that life is going to have positive outcomes and is bringing you more good, rather than more bad. It’s about you committing to having more of a pronoia or a positive mindset rather than a paranoia or a negative mindset: give it all over to positive expectation.

Feed your faith, my dear, because you're going to be sponging up energy, anyway. You had better know that you've got someone or something watching your back - your power animals, your spirit guides, your angels, your fairies, whoever, your grandma. My grandma has got my back, in the energy. Lean on spirit when you feel depleted, that's what the angels want you to know this week in particular as we start owning it and opening up the conversation around what it means to be an empath in business.

Now, I want to hear from you. Make sure you comment below or send me an email back at team@VictoriaWhitfield.com. I am here to support you. If you want to know more about how you can shift your state in business so that you feel like you are glowing, rather than draining yourself out, as you grow your business, reach out. Let me know and I'd be so happy to schedule a session with you so that we could talk about how we can best turn your light back on.

All right, I'll see you in the next one.

May you feel loved and safe at work, and please: Enjoy the journey.

See you soon!
