MY MIND IS EXPLODING. 💥 Our minds are so aligned right now…I could have written this (though not as wonderfully, as you’ll see tomorrow lol), because I feel this deeply! I wrote earlier “I’m always chasing. Never arriving. Which is dumb because I’ve very much arrived.”
I’m sure you put your whole writussy in it like you always do!!!! I can’t wait to experience it from your perspective. I learn so much from you and seeing things from your unique gaze 🥹😍
Haha thank you!! It’s the magic of being reminded over and over again that we’re not alone. That everything I’m feeling right now is unoriginal; it’s happening to others. And what a gift that’s it’s YOU!!
Dare I say this is my favorite thing you’ve written??? Babe… this leaning into fun thing… is FEEDING THE CREATIVE BEAST. Like it’s happening simultaneously. PHEW. SO GOOD.
I forget amidst all the dodging of Roadhouse roundhouse kicks that life throws at us. 😮💨😂 Needed this reinforcement from my dream babe. Thank you Thank you ❤️🔥
Every word of this was delicious and utterly relatable to any of us who have ever experienced great things and been on the cusp of more. Brava, my sweet, brilliant Jenovia 🩶
Oh hell yes to this isn’t it amazing how full body happiness aches a little bit? Nobody deserves love and fullness more than you do. May you live in this honeymoon all the rest of your days ❤️⚡️
It does ache a bit and I'm still finding my sea legs in this full body happiness...but women like you help me find my own way and for that, I am so damn grateful. What a life. Thank you, Isabel.
You have such a beautiful and poetic way of looking at life. The way you spin words into a beautiful web of deep feelings has me beside myself in gratitude for you. Juggling 3 business's, being a dad, your partner, our chef and handyman in our home has me occasionally grunting in disdain when my knees and joints feel like they're being ground into powder but then I read this and realize the lens you're seeing our life through. I'm so grateful and so so proud of you, thanks for writing this. I couldn't relate more. I strongly believe most humans can relate to this but could hardly do the sentiment such justice. You're magic, and the words are your wand. Not a fucking soul out there would disagree.
Thank you, my love. I couldn't be more grateful for you and all that you do to make our house a home. We live a very full life. I love the wild ride we are on and as I said before, I would much rather have our too much than not enough. 🥹💘
Beeeeeeaaauuuutiful Jenovia!!! Bravo for expanding into all of it. Your joy for life is infectious and so very hard-earned. The balance fairies will always be on our shoulders whispering (sometimes shouting) but the pendulum swinging is just fine, and necessary. Fall into your joy and the rest will follow in good time. ❤️
Thank you, Kimberly! I am working on it. Your words are such a talisman for me. I've needed reminding that the pendulum swings and it is all part of the living of life. "Fall into your joy" What a scrumptious sentence!!! I shall. ❤️
"balance" is a never-ending challenge! what a wonderful and rare thing that you've figured out how to embrace joy and happiness - what a gift! embrace it and fully rejoice in it! xo
There is never enough time and time is all there is. My meat suit does not compute. Do all the things. Rest a little bit. We cannot fall behind if we lead the moo deng charge. This is lovely.
I'm so happy we are here in this wild time on this spinning rock (so weird) to remind one another to slow down and enjoy life. Knowing we are not alone in our sentiments is the jolt that keeps me going. 💥
I am not the best at putting my thoughts into words so let me give this a go. My creative forms are usually spent on work related endeavors and die there. After reading this I took time for myself. I wrote down feelings and it felt liberating. Before opening this in email I was having a day. I thought it was just another when the alert rang out of my pocket. It wasn’t that. It was an epiphany I didn’t know I was about to have. Kind of wake up and smell the roses moment. I needed that. Thank You. I’ll be writing things down now. I’ll be better to myself. Thank You!
I’m so glad! I hope you make writing things down (and being better to yourself) a regular. practice. Transform it into to a habit like brushing your teeth. 💥
Ohh this was good! Isn’t it just the most incredible back and forth. That space between being so happy with everything as it is now and that urge to keep moving forward to more. It’s a crazy dance — one you captured beautifully.
Also, I especially loved this line:
“I’ll embrace appearing foolish for as long as it takes to move into mastery because I do not want to meet the person I’d become if I stopped trying.”
The wildest dance of my life at the moment 🪩 and it’s been wonderful to bond over the dance with others. It makes life so much more interesting. Thank you, Michael!
“I’ll do it exhausted. I’ll do it, terrified. I’ll embrace appearing foolish for as long as it takes to move into mastery because I do not want to meet the person I’d become if I stopped trying.” Holy shit, it’s like you’re in my head…except that you’re the wiser and more self-possessed version who happens to give the world’s best pep talks at the exact moment when I need them most.
(Also, I’ve been under a rock/had to Google Moo Deng, so that was a public service.)
You're the sweetest, Maddie. I needed the pep talk too! I love that we've been feeling the same things. When you have friends that can share common themes in life, they feel like such gifts. Thank you. ❤️🔥
It’s so funny that sometimes (often? always?) we end up writing the pep talks we actually needed to receive ourselves. 😂 Yes: *such* a gift to be surrounded by people who Get It!!
Perfectly described, the pulse of living bleeding existence. I’ve reached a point where I no longer want and boy, that’s another level peace.
The ULTIMATE, Natalia!!! Working my way there ❤️🔥

Precisely! Being in communion is one of life's greatest gifts. I cherish these times.
Dare I say this is my favorite thing you’ve written??? Babe… this leaning into fun thing… is FEEDING THE CREATIVE BEAST. Like it’s happening simultaneously. PHEW. SO GOOD.

Thank you, Amy!!!! 🥹❤️🔥 I love that you're here doing this digital life with me.
I want to slow down and live like this. Tell me your secrets.
I'm still learning, we can learn together! ❤️🔥
Oh hell yes to this isn’t it amazing how full body happiness aches a little bit? Nobody deserves love and fullness more than you do. May you live in this honeymoon all the rest of your days ❤️⚡️

Truly!!! Sometimes I feel wonderful at balance, other times I feel new here 😭 Thank you, Amelia 💕
You sound like you mostly have it together! ❤️
There is never enough time and time is all there is. My meat suit does not compute. Do all the things. Rest a little bit. We cannot fall behind if we lead the moo deng charge. This is lovely.
The Moo Deng Charge!!! Hear! Hear! Thank you so much, Abra. I'm so happy you're here. 💕
this is fire
❤️🔥 🙏Thank you, Briffin! (I love how auto-correct wants to change it to Griffin SO badly lol)
autocorrect doesn't get the vibe haha
She’s a troll.
I feel this so much. ❤️
I'm so happy we are here in this wild time on this spinning rock (so weird) to remind one another to slow down and enjoy life. Knowing we are not alone in our sentiments is the jolt that keeps me going. 💥
Such a beautifully-written piece. I'm wishing you the continued joy of thousands of Moo Dengs.
Thank you, Chris!!! 🦛
