Recently, I have been asked, “Why the heck did I pull the plug on my social media accounts!?” It’s a fair question. I mean I did have an active presence of posting, and a 5000 “friend” following.
A few weeks ago I got to visit with my family in Portland, Oregon. It was my nephew’s Bar Mitzvah and my immediate family gathered for the first time since months before the onset of the pandemic. Side-note, my nephew JJ absolutely rocked reading from the Torah.
Being in my community (thank you!), you likely know that I recently made a big transition by ending my “home-free” stint and moving into a loft space in Santa Fe, New Mexico – Tewa Territory. The journey to get to this place where I am now, surprisingly, was not any easy choice. But it was an act of self-care …
I recently ended my 17-month stint of living “home-free” and am beginning a new chapter in Santa Fe, New Mexico ~ Tewa Territory. It’s been two years since I sold my company, Next Generation Yoga, and I am now starting-up work since taking sabbatical.
Lot’s of change!
On last Monday’s full moon, I had quite the animal encounter. It goes like this …
It’s 3pm and I am reclining on my couch with my feet up just after an hour-long business call where I said yes to joining a company to help home-owners go Solar. I am feeling wondrous and novel as this is a new territory for me.
Last month I participated in The Give, Ask, Receive Challenge with none other than Alex Franzen – THE woman (entrepreneur, author & overall badass!) who inspired me to get off social media.
Can you feel it? The potential for fresh energy?! On March 20th, in the Northern Hemisphere, the Spring Equinox blessed us with the coming of more day-light, fragrant weather and new growth. Passover is here, March 27th – April 2nd, and Easter too, April 4th.
As we wake up to the fundamental need for human equality, it feels like the perfect time to put our attention on March’s celebration of Women’s History Month – where we are invited to reflect on the role of women in America.
Our human family is certainly experiencing life so unequally distributed, and my heart feels for those who are deep in it. I pray for your well-being, for a just world and for the healing of our Earth.
It’s been just over a week since the mob scene at the U.S. capital and my mind and nervous system are still recovering from the trauma and chaos. But before I go any further sharing my response and suggestions for how to self-care during times like these … I want to pause and acknowledge that I imagine not all people reading this will have the same opinion as mine.
While in the U.S., with Biden & Harris in leadership, it does feel like we have released the pressure cooker, however, I know as a global family we have lots of work to do, still. Here in Tesuque Valley, New Mexico, I am dreaming of, talking about and bubbling with ideas for how I can contribute.
Hi! It’s me, Jodi Golda! I know it’s been a long time since you have received any communication from me, but with me pulling the plug on my social media accounts & the new year, I couldn’t help but feel excited to connect with you here and now.
