…… grateful for so many 6’s, today.. also this chai dandelion tea that a friend gifted me.. mmm yummy..

Dez,

Hey man! Your journaling has been so inspiring, the dedication you give to the earth and your relationship with it and within yourself is refreshing and grounding.

I have a set date to join you awesome folk at Wheaton labs on June 19th. I've made my way through Magdalene's journal and I'm now on page 81 of yours. I hope to finish before I leave.

I found this passage especially insightful and thought about it for quite some time. Applying it to my own experiences:

"but not anymore—no longer do I believe that relationships are difficult “or else”.. for two reasons, one is I don’t like that belief that does not serve me.. and two is that I’m idealistic about this endeavor in life, so I choose things that I want.. “oh you’re living in a fantasy! Your head must be up your arse!”, somebody in my head adamantly exclaims.. and it’s true—a truly unpopular belief, is what I want for my journey.. perhaps a truly unique and impossible outcome.. a fantasy.. surely we all dream of something.. if we don’t dream, we don’t get to experience the fantastic.. a fantastic community.."

In preparation for my arrival I have tons of questions that I hope y'all that are there can answer or at the least offer guidance on.

Best of luck to you in the coming days and I can't wait to meet in a couple weeks.

Hope you reach out!

Take care!

…… grateful for team effort.. boot camp brings out a certain flavor of helpfulness in an individual.. seemingly random tasks to make the place more delicious.. the details matter, positivity matters.. and everyone is putting in some good effort—let’s keep it up y’all, ‘cuz we’ve got the flavor that’s required..
