“How energetic we are, how much we want to be out in the world, how extroverted we are, that is all happening around the full moon.”
“I also started doing a walking meditation…it saved my mental health. I was a much better mother and I kept doing it because it was my safety net and I just felt so much more grounded and present and had the feeling that everything would be okay.”
“I really believe that we are all evolving and descending to be operating at a place of peace and love that we have never seen on the planet before…and I want to stay focused on that.”
