Happy Sunday! I don’t typically publish the weekly Self Friendship Article this late in the week, but this article has been brewing, and it simply wasn’t time yet. I couldn’t bring myself to write an article about anything else — this one needed all my article energy. This week I was exiting my most recent cocoon so I couldn’t possibly share with you what I was still self-reflecting and self-connecting about.

I show up as my Party of One — having fun with myself, for myself, as myself.
Pre-Cocoon — Leading up to this cocoon I faced A LOT of extremely valuable mirrors in my life. It was the final cycle of a variety of mirrors all at once. Prettttyyyy intense. I showed up as my highest self yet, YET still facing the same mirrors — naturally, in their highest form too. Recognizing this and consciously choosing DIFFERENTLY, I initiated new outcomes and the path for my cocoon…
