Dear MoonFam,

As I glide through the first year of my 30s, a chapter unfolds that’s both illuminating and introspective, much like our beloved moon. This journey has already been a profound exploration of self-awareness, particularly in understanding the energies around me and how they resonate with my spirit. It’s a time of embracing change, seeking simplicity, and consciously choosing the spaces and energies I want to surround myself with.

Developing My Energetic Awareness

I’ve become acutely aware of the energy I carry and the energy I encounter. It’s like developing a new sense, one that vibrates to the frequencies of love, joy, and sometimes, unfortunately, chaos. This awareness has become a guiding light, helping me navigate through life’s interactions and spaces, choosing those that uplift and avoiding those that drain me.

Claiming My Space, Gracefully

There’s been a bold shift in how I assert my presence. These past 3 months have taught me the value of taking up space—gracefully, yet unapologetically, especially in environments where I previously felt unseen or unwelcome. This isn’t about rebellion; it’s about recognizing my worth and the unique energy I bring to the world. It’s a declaration of self-respect, a testament to the journey I’ve embarked upon in understanding and loving myself more deeply.

Craving Simplicity

The allure of simplicity has never.been.stronger. I have been shedding the baggage I carried around, both materially and energetically, to focus on what truly enriches my soul. In simplicity, I’ve found a sense of peace—a calmness that permeates my being, allowing me to cherish the present and the simple joys that life offers. By focusing on the present, I’m able to show up for my family as a better version of myself. Choosing how to respond and understanding what you can control in the current moment gives you power. It’s in these moments of introspection that I feel most connected to the universe and my true self.

Actively Pursuing Peace

Peace is no longer a fleeting desire; it’s a vital pursuit. The closest people to me, have seen me actively seeking out practices and spaces that foster serenity and balance. Be it through nature walks, meditation, or curating a sanctuary at home, each step is a conscious effort to harmonize my internal and external worlds. Some practices that have been my refuge is sage, spiritual baths/showers, protection candles/sprays, crystals, spirit guides. These practices are helping me to anchor in the present and connect with the cosmic energies that guide us.

Reflections on Healthy Aging

This chapter has also brought a deeper appreciation for the holistic approach to aging. It’s not just about maintaining physical health but nurturing the mind and spirit too. Activities that engage my brain, exercises that challenge my body, and connections that nourish my soul are all integral to my journey. Having the discipline to consistently do these activities is something I’m working on. However I do find that the more I fill my self- love cup, it ensures that as I navigate this decade, I do so with vitality, grace, and an open heart.

To my beloved MoonFam, as I share this journey with you, know that it’s a reflection of my experiences and I hope it resonates with you. My 30s revealed a powerful time of transformation, an invitation to align more closely with our highest selves and the universal energies that surround us.

With all my lunar love,

JoJo
