Have you felt the energy shifting around us? I know that everyone keeps talking about this New Moon in Leo — I’m a believer of astrology without ever truly fully understanding what “New Moon in Leo” actually means. BUT, I believe the energy is different around me and that momentum is building for all the good things.

This was a short week, after a long weekend in New Haven for a friend’s wedding. I was able to kickstart my summer challenge — I’ll be visiting 17 bookstores in 13 weeks — with a visit to Atticus Bookstore. Most of my week was spent getting caught up on work, after having had COVID the last few weeks. I’m really looking forward to resting and resetting some more this weekend. I’m at the door of a lot of big life and career decisions and this time around I’m trying to pace myself as I think through what’s next. It’s anxiety inducing, but necessary.

I’m knee-deep in prep for the launch of my new podcast, Happy To Be Here, and all that Mental Health Awareness Month will bring with it. It’s an exciting time, but a really stressful time for anyone who works in the mental wellness space. It’s actually quite ironic because in the month that’s dedicated to giving a platform to taking care our mental health, I find it the hardest to keep up with my own mental health routines.
