Hello Reader,

I've been having a bit of a breakthrough with social media. (Whoa... words I never expected to write!)

I've figured out how to use AI to make my graphics, which means I never have to spend five hours in Canva again (💃💃💃💃). Honestly, this alone is cause for celebration.

And for the first time in YEEEEAARS, I'm actually excited about creating content. I've been experimenting with using my own Human Design to figure out how I want to show up online.

So, you know... I've got ideas. I've got a rough plan. And I was going to spend the weekend working on it.

Except we had a family wedding at a brewery/distillery in Toronto.

The bride and groom literally got married between two enormous stainless-steel vats of beer. Which, frankly, is a fabulous place to start a marriage.

The officiant was wonderful. Before the ceremony began, she asked everyone to silence their phones, put them away, and simply be there to witness the moment.

Plus, there were two photographers. Let them do what they do best.

I slid my phone into my clutch.

That phone didn't see the light of day for another sixteen hours.

It didn't take a single photo. Not even one of me playing foosball, which really is a missed opportunity for my burgeoning Instagram career. 😂

There were enormous charcuterie boards, tabbouleh, custom cocktails (Amaro Sours for me, thank you very much), card games, and French fries at midnight.

And dancing.

So much dancing.

At one point, I sat down beside my son and said, “I'm making such a fool of myself out there.”

He said, “That's kind of what happens at weddings. No one can dance.”

Well, that was the mindset reframe I needed.

Back to the dance floor I went, where I joined my son, nieces and nephews and awkwardly bopped along to Shania Twain's Man! I Feel Like a Woman!

It was one of those weekends where you're having such a good time that the rest of your life just disappears.

And it did.

I didn't think about Instagram.

I didn't think about the I Ching I'd planned to study.

I didn't think about any of it.

Not. Once.

And then Monday arrived. And guess what?

I was excited to get back to it.

The ideas were still there. The enthusiasm was still there.

I hadn't lost anything by spending the weekend doing something else.

Which is interesting because I've been experimenting with my Sacral Authority (paying attention to what I genuinely want to do instead of what I think I should be doing.)

And apparently, this weekend, what I wanted to do was drink Amaro Sours, eat French fries at midnight, and make an ass of myself dancing with my family.

An excellent use of my energy, if you ask me.

And perhaps the funniest part?

I spent the previous week learning how to show up online.

Then spent the weekend having such a good time offline that I forgot my phone existed.
