Dearest Megan and team MJC-mail... wow, MJC, how did you know I needed this, this morning? November is one hell of a shitty month for me - 8/11 was ten years since I lost my beloved sister, and dear friend, to suicide 😔 My heart is broken. However, I recall in October I commented in your newsletter about my 'momentous life decision' to be made: "real job" vs "passion project". 🙄 Well.... I took the post-doctoral fellowship and my life has been a rollercoaster ride of 'busy'... so when I listened to your soothing voice in your lovely audio recording (always the highlight of the newsletter, can I just say?!) it felt like it was meant for me. I did not pursue my dream of doing mental health peer work.... maybe I will, one day. For the time being, I had to be mindful of my bills (oh hi there, rent!), and some form of financial stability (I have been on a measly disability pension for over 20 years). I am "doing it" but now.... to focus on "being ok".
So much love to you, MJC, and the lovely community that cheers you, and each other, on 💕
Phew! As someone for whom travel is super difficult I got tired just reading about all your travel lol! But I’m SO GLAD you enjoyed your trips, and that you allowed yourself that pleasure. You are so right, somehow in the midst of all this, we still have to allow ourselves to be okay, and do what we can to keep body and soul not only together, but even thriving when possible.
You’re definitely not alone in feeling the discordance of living in this time. I often find myself pausing throughout my week, just being hit with the realization that somehow I get to be here- making boring decisions, worrying about my small problems, while across the world this nightmare is happening to other people. I don’t think we really can, or are meant to, reconcile that.
I’m so grateful always for your thoughts, for the parts of your heart that you share with us, and I am sending out warm, gentle vibes to you and yours right now.
How do you always manage to say the right thing at just the right moment? The ‘please keep yourselves ok’ is so heartfelt and so beautiful, thank you darling friend xxxx
Hey Megan, what a joy to read about your travels! I've been following the stories on Instagram, and every time I watched one, your happiness was contagious – truly visible! I'm so glad that you manifested your adventure; the new moon rituals are always powerful, even if we are a bit sceptical :)
I, too, am working a lot with my intentions. I feel like I'm undergoing a real mindset shift at the moment, truly turning into the version of myself that I see deep inside of me and know I am, just asking to be brought into reality. I'm starting to offer life coaching sessions in my yoga studio, and it's so empowering to know and feel I can support people with their own transformation!
Thank you so much for your words, your kindness and your lovely smile 🦋
I’m so happy to hear that you allowed yourself to fully embrace and enjoy the travel opportunities that came your way. You deserve all the joy your heart can hold and then some! Thank you for sharing your adventures with us…I get to live vicariously through you 🥰
What an explosion of joy! Your update brought an enormous smile to my face, Megan! Your month of travel was amazing.
I also have to say that your Queerpiphany interview was fabulous! I loved it! How long will it be before MTV offers you your own program? (If they haven’t already.) You were sooo good!
Thank you for sharing your joy and positivity with us; it's truly infectious! Keep embracing life and spreading those good vibes. Even the woo-woo ones!
Your adventures look AMAZING and I’m so glad you enjoyed every bit of them! Otherwise, there seems no point, right? I’m always so excited when your email pops into my inbox…and when you share your struggles and insecurities, it makes me feel much less alone ❤️😘
