Captured. A moment suspended between breath and emotion. Mitchell Royel's lens - our window into raw vulnerability. Soundtrack: Only All The Time by Aviella. Feeling everything. Always.

We exist in the spaces between feeling and understanding. Our emotions are not linear paths but intricate landscapes - sometimes vast and open, sometimes dense and tangled. We move through these internal terrains, sometimes tentatively, sometimes with fierce abandon.

There's a rawness in allowing ourselves to feel completely. Not just the comfortable emotions that sit neatly on the surface, but the complex ones that challenge us. The moments of vulnerability that crack us open, revealing layers we didn't know existed.

We are collectors of emotional experiences. Each sensation, each fleeting moment of joy or pain, becomes a thread in the complex tapestry of our shared human experience. We breathe into these feelings, letting them move through us without judgment.

In the quiet spaces between breaths, we recognize that feeling deeply is not a weakness. It's a profound strength. We embrace the full spectrum - the light, the shadow, the nuanced in-between.

This is our journey. Always feeling. Always becoming.

Higher Vibration

We often think spiritual growth is all about those perfectly curated meditation moments, journaling at sunrise, and saying our affirmations. And don’t get us wrong – those practices are magical. But sometimes, moving into our higher vibration looks nothing like what we’d expect.

Unexpected Spiritual Practice

Sometimes, our highest selves are calling us to:

  • Buy that dress that makes us feel like goddesses

  • Take ourselves on a solo brunch date

  • Spend an hour playing with makeup just because it feels fun

  • Cancel plans and choose radical self-love instead of people-pleasing

Why These Moments Matter

Spiritual growth isn’t always about serious introspection. It’s about joy. It’s about listening to that inner voice that says, “Hey, we deserve to feel amazing right now.”

When we choose ourselves – truly choose ourselves – we’re not being selfish. We’re raising our vibration. We’re telling the universe, “We are worthy. We are enough. We choose joy.”

Radical Act of Self-Celebration

Think about it: Taking a day to treat ourselves isn’t frivolous. It’s a profound spiritual practice. It’s saying yes to our own happiness. It’s declaring that our joy matters just as much as our growth.

So today, we want to give ourselves permission. Permission to:

  • Rest when we’re tired

  • Dress up for no reason

  • Buy the thing that makes our hearts sing

  • Take up space

  • Celebrate ourselves

Invitation

Our spiritual journey isn’t about perfection. It’s about presence. It’s about choosing love – especially the love we give ourselves.

Breathe. Smile. We’re exactly where we need to be.

Sending us all so much light,

"GIRL'S GIRL"

by Brooke Daye

Dear Younger Me,

I’m writing this letter from a place of profound understanding – the kind that only comes from years of learning, growing, and embracing the beautiful complexity of being a woman.

Journey of Becoming

There was a time when I thought success was a zero-sum game. I believed that for me to shine, other women needed to dim their light. How wrong I was. The most powerful revelation of my journey has been understanding the magic that happens when we choose to lift each other up.

Lessons from the Waffle House of Life

I remember a morning at a Waffle House – syrup-sticky table, fluorescent lights, and a moment of clarity that changed everything. Sitting across from a stranger, watching her laugh with her friends, I realized something profound: our stories are interconnected. Every woman’s triumph is a collective victory.

What I Know Now

To my younger self, and to every woman reading this:

  • Your worth is not determined by comparison

  • Kindness is your superpower

  • Vulnerability is strength, not weakness

  • There’s enough success in this world for all of us

Spiritual Practice of Sisterhood

Supporting other women isn’t just an action – it’s a spiritual practice. It’s about seeing the divine light in each person and reflecting it back to them. When we celebrate each other, we create a ripple of empowerment that can transform the world.

Promise to Myself (and to You)

I promise to:

  • Celebrate your wins as if they were my own

  • Create space for authentic connection

  • Speak words of encouragement

  • Stand up for women, even when it’s uncomfortable

Remember, we’re not competing – we’re collaborating on the most beautiful masterpiece: life itself.

With infinite love and sisterhood,
Ryder

When Our Souls Demand a Detour & The Power of Pulling Over

Sonic waves captured by Mitchell Royel, now spinning the electrifying track "Eat It Up" by Brooke Daye - a musical moment that transcends the ordinary.

There comes a moment in our journey when the universe whispers—sometimes shouts—that it’s time to change course. That pivotal instant when we look around and realize the path we’re on no longer serves our highest selves. It’s the moment we ask to pull over, to step out, to choose a different route.

Spiritual Surrender

This isn’t just about a physical journey. It’s a metaphor for life’s most profound transformations. When we find ourselves in situations that drain our spirit, compromise our worth, or dim our inner light, the most powerful act of self-love is the courage to say, “Stop. We’re getting out.”

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” - Jeremiah 29:11

This scripture reminds us that our journey is divinely guided. Sometimes, getting out of the car means trusting that something greater is orchestrating our path.

Energetic Shift of Walking Away

Pulling over isn’t weakness—it’s radical self-respect. It’s understanding that:

  • Our peace is non-negotiable

  • Our worth isn’t determined by staying in uncomfortable situations

  • The universe supports bold moves of self-preservation

What Pulling Over Really Means:

  1. Honoring our intuition

  2. Releasing toxic dynamics

  3. Choosing ourselves without apology

  4. Trusting the unknown path ahead

Spiritual Practice of Letting Go

When we decide to get out of the car—whether it’s a relationship, a job, or a life situation—we’re performing a sacred ritual of release. We’re saying to the universe, “We trust that something better awaits us.”

Practical Spiritual Steps:

  • Breathe deeply

  • Center ourselves

  • Affirm our worth

  • Trust the journey

“And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard our hearts and our minds in Christ Jesus.” - Philippians 4:7

Miracle of Choosing Us

Remember, every time we choose ourselves, we’re not just changing our path—we’re elevating our entire energetic frequency. The universe conspires to support those who courageously choose their own healing and growth.

Our Invitation: Listen to that inner voice. When it says “pull over,” trust it. Our souls know the way.

Sending us light, love, and the courage to choose ourselves.

Rhythm & Soul: Uncharted Frequencies

Captured by Mitchell Royel and now playing "Waiting For Tonight" by Tom Hall Finlay C. and Maisie Ma'e - a sonic journey that echoes through the night, painting memories in sound

Listen up, soul-seekers,

We're wandering through life like mystic sound-weavers searching for that quantum groove - those electric moments when the universe pulses right through your cellular memory. But hear me crystal clear: this journey ain't about trending algorithms or how many digital ears catch the frequency.

It's about the primordial heartbeat.

That sacred quantum connection between spirit and sonic vibration. When music transcends mere notes - it becomes a cosmic meditation, a prayer whispered through rhythmic consciousness. When movement isn't just dance, but pure existential liberation.

"Let everything that has breath praise the Lord." - Psalm 150:6

Praise speaks in infinite languages, seen? For some, it's a calculated step - precise as a mathematical bass line. For others, it's a wild, unpredictable dance that makes sense only to the soul's deepest frequency - like an uncontainable spiritual jazz that defies all musical mathematics.

We compose our life's tracks - them moments of radical transformation, them soul connections, them memories that live beyond digital snapshots. But the real magic? That's the energy no algorithm can decode. The vibration that laughs at quantification.

This transmission is for the quantum rebels. The ones who know: Approval? That's just background static.

Feeling alive?

That's the real roots frequency.

Keep oscillating. Keep breathing. Keep being authentically unbound.

One love.
