JULY'S REFLECTION PROMPTIn July, I will starve unhelpful thoughts by reminding myself… Don’t believe everything you think. 2 QUOTES WORTH PONDERING1. Molly Burford’s incomplete list of green flags: "People who tell tough truths in gentle ways.
The little-things-oriented. Big-picture thinkers.
Dreamers. Deep feelers. Old souls. Young spirits.
Goofballs. Those who don’t make you choose
between what’s right for you and what’s most convenient for them.
Someone who listens to understand, and doesn’t just wait their turn to speak. The ones you can share comfortable silences with. Loud laughers. Quiet do-gooders. Folks who can admit when they’re wrong or don’t know something. Those who understand their privilege. Someone who isn’t afraid to take the last slice of pizza. Anyone who makes you forget your phone. Anyone who makes you remember that lovely things still exist."

Let July be the permission slip you write with your own hand to begin again, to course-correct. Mid-year is not too late, too far gone, or too messy. It’s a doorway. Step through as many times as you need. REFLECTION PROMPTS: Where in my life do I crave a fresh beginning, no permission required? What would I do differently if I truly...
MONTHLY REMINDER Reader, your intuition is a gift, not a glitch. That quiet knowing, that gentle tug, that whisper you almost ignored—it’s not a malfunction, it’s a message. Trust the parts of you that sense the shift before there’s proof; they were built to guide you home. REFLECTION PROMPTS: When was the last time I trusted myself without needing to explain why?
