For the last few months, I have been in my own personal hell.
One thing that has gotten me through this time and other excruciating times in my life is a continuous text conversation I’ve had with a close friend for over seventeen years.
Those thousands of micro-lifelines have inspired these texts...
Which one is your favorite? Do you get solace and encouragement through texting? Let me know in the comments.

Can you take a nap or rest today?
Whatever you’re feeling is OK. Can you stay in the feeling and breathe in your heart?
What’s the worst thing about that?
Can you say more about that?
It’s OK if it didn’t work out today. You can start over tomorrow (or right now.)
I see you. I love you. I believe in you.
You’re doing great! Keep going! You’re amazing!
Look at us staying with the process. We are so cool!
How can I support you?
Here are three things I’m grateful for today. What are you thankful for?
Is it OK to share this [add sensitive or intense topic] with you?
Thank you for letting me share that.
Thank you for trusting me enough to share that with me.
I’m going through a lot right now, so I won’t be as communicative for a while. I will still be thinking of you and sending you love. I’ll be in touch again when I have more space.
I’m thinking of you and hope you’re having a wonderful day.
You inspire me!
You deserve to be treated with kindness and respect.
How would you feel if I told you that story and someone was treating me that way?
I’m sorry I can’t talk right now. I value you, and I need to take care of my own needs today. Is there someone else you can talk to that’s available today?
You are SO valued, wanted, and appreciated.
What snacks are you having today? 🍫 ☕️ 🧁
And for maximum potency, sprinkle a LOT of random selfies into the mix…
This is my gentle step back into writing, which has been completely blocked as I’ve been living through some deep personal, ancestral, and collective healing.
I hope to return here soon and share the many lessons I’ve learned and the stories that have unfolded.
Until then, please text someone you love. You never know the true impact of your words… But I guarantee that the ripples you will make will carry the souls of your peeps through some very choppy waters.
All my love 💜

Are you longing for quality support?
If you could use extra support right now, consider checking out the evolution of my new membership site, The Alignment Sanctuary.
What is The Alignment Sanctuary?
The Alignment Sanctuary is an online village designed to counter the myth that you’re meant to navigate life’s challenges alone.
With weekly, heartfelt meetings and wisdom from diverse women, this Sanctuary is the soulful antidote to “solo healing.”
In these challenging (and sometimes insane) times, the Alignment Sanctuary is a sacred haven of collective resilience and a real testament to the magic that unfolds when women come together and connect from the heart. It’s a warm, nurturing blanket of sanity and mutual understanding. 💜
This is beautiful. There are a number of messages in that list I'd be very happy to receive. :)
Very cool list! I would love it as a start for a flip calendar or regular text reminders.
You are a ROCKSTAR as a Mother, Partner, Friend, Supporter, and businesswoman!
