Today, sweet friend, I write to you and to myself. And maybe as you read on you’ll imagine writing this to yourself.
I want you to know, my love, that I’m here. Always.
I’m here in the moments when you feel vastly alone like your swimming in waters so deep you can’t see more than a few inches in front of you and the unknown of the darkness feels a thousand pounds heavy and like it’s pushing down on you from every angle.
I’m here when you’re awake late at night and the thoughts flood in and you wonder how you’ll ever get everything done that needs doing, and you’re completely unsure of when the hell you’ll find the time, and who the hell expected you to be able to figure all of this out anyways?
I’m here when everything ends up working out even after all that worry and you’re body is still too tense to relax in the moment that you imagined you’d feel joy and relief, but instead, you feel deeply exhausted and depleted and like you’d rather give up and crawl in bed and sleep for a thousand years.
I’m here when you lay down on the earth and feel the pulse of the universe beneath you while you watch the branches above you dance in the wind on a background of blue sky and you feel the embrace of all the joy and grief and love and peace and unknown of it all.
I’m here when you’re happy and sad and scared and grateful and unsure and anxious and tender and weird.
I’m here when you’re totally, completely, fully, madly in love with every ounce of this magical existence.
And I’m here when you’re not.
I’m here through it all.
I love you through it all.
I adore everything about you, even your soft tummy and the part of you that’s ashamed of it and the part that’s ashamed that you're ashamed.
I am so fucking proud of you, for showing up, again and again, day after day, for every breath you take and every time you let yourself love big and wide and deep.
You are my hero. My superhero. My sparkly magic witchy superhero.
Your vulnerability is a gift. Your light is a beacon. Your joy is freedom. Your trust is safety.
I love you.
Thank you.
I’m here.
Always.

My dear, my love, sweet sparkly human! I want to coach with you!
In a nutshell: I’m offering 45-minute coaching sessions for $11/session! Schedule a session here! Read on for more details :)
As many of you know, last December I completed the Wayfinder Life Coach training with Martha Beck and it changed my life in many, many ways. I’ve come to know and love myself and my life in ways that I never dreamed were possible. The space and trust that opened within me in the process of getting to know myself more deeply has been profound and I would love to support you on your own unique journey inward.
By the end of this year, I’ll be applying for my coaching certification and in order to do so I am working on completing the required 75 hours of coaching.
So, I’d love to offer 45-minute coaching sessions for anyone who’s looking to create more awareness around a challenge you may be experiencing, a dream that’s been growing in your heart, or anything else that may be coming up for you.
Coaching is not consulting or advice-giving (you know yourself better than anyone after all), but rather it’s a container for opening to what is already within you in the support of someone who can hold space, reflect without judgment, and help you inquire within through powerful questions.
All coaching sessions will be held on Zoom and will be just $11 per session!
You can schedule a session here, or if you’d like to meet once a week or every other week feel free to schedule more than one!
If that price feels inexpressible, please let me know, I’m happy to work something out.
You can find out a bit more about coaching with me here. And if you have any other questions, please reply to this email and ask away!
Learning to live with my eyes wide open, trusting that the answers I seek are found most readily when I lean into trust and let go of the need to control.
This song. Gentile and soothing and perfect for a long ocean-side drive.
The way the breeze feels when the sun beats down on a summer afternoon.
With endless love and deep gratitude,
Raina
