Hello friends and family,

I hope you are having a great start to June. I can’t believe we are halfway through this year. Which to me feels like it has flown by. Thinking back to January I am in awe at the magic of this year…

The theme of this week is “The Inspiration Circle”

This week I had a serious thought about pausing this newsletter.

I have decided to take on the new chapter of Dose of Inspiration and I forecast that it will require more time to make it happen so I wanted to cut down on something. I put a poll out on my social media to see what others thought and told people to message me their thoughts on what I should do.

Within 1 evening I got so much love and support for this. Your words blew me away and made my heart expand! I got messages from subscribers who open this weekly and have found their inspiration. (Job done on my little DOI)

Then the strangest timing was that my dearest friend created a channel and started posting her art to the world. I am planning on sharing this in a few weeks when she fills up her page with her art. But it’s magic! She is super talented and I am so happy.

She messaged without seeing my post to share how she found inspiration from this newsletter and within an instant I knew this would continue. So here you have it…Issue 175.

And I will continue because you have inspired me.

I also see people dancing, traveling, building businesses, living life their way all because they found some sort of inspiration here and that to me is more than enough motivation and inspiration to keep going.

Your task this week:

• What circle/ loop have you set up?

• Maybe you do something that brings you more of the things you like

In the world we live in …if everything was built off this circle loop, I think we would function a bit better…what do you think?

Remember each week, we are just moving one tiny step forward to creating a life you love. 

🤙🏾 Inspiration Labs

Inspiration Labs is a 1-hour call where we dive into your project, career, life, or big dream. This free session is to gain clarity, dream bigger, and walk out with 1 action step to start moving forward. This is the value I am adding back to the world 💫

I will open new sessions weekly for this. To have this available to everyone, you are allowed 1 session only. (Sorry I wish, I had all the time in the world to only do this but I have to work too)

This is one of the best videos about Social Media and Mental Health. I found Dr K while reading up on social media and its effects on youth. I am guilty of spending random moments of life mindlessly scrolling through Instagram.

Love this idea “Is there an emotional state that you are in when you reach for your phone to go on social media?”

This is a quick 20min video but if you find yourself even mildly addicted to social media, watch this.

🎨 Artists Who Inspire

Beatriz González

I saw her work today at one of my favorite places in Mexico City, UNAM University (Modern Art Museum). Firstly I am jealous of these students who get to study at this university, it’s beautiful, inspiring, and also filled with gems like this museum.

Second meet Beatriz Gonzalez, an artist from Colombia. Her work centers around the idea of what art looks like in “developing nations”. Her body of work on display was from the 60s to the present day. This is a long time to witness the atrocities of the world, let alone her own country.

Her work brought me to pause a few times, lost in the “what the F%%” moments in my mind, thinking about how relevant are the issues she highlighted and also, how we are still in this situation.

Anyway, she is in her 90’s and still creating!

🎶 Song of the week

I had a call with a friend this week and he just started learning to play the handpan. I got a mini-concert and even as a beginner, it was beautiful.

Save this one for when you need some calming sounds for your soul! Enjoy
