33 ✨🐉🌈
What a blessed birthday weekend.
Going into my birthday, there was a little part of me that wondered if I would be alone.
I’m new to Mount Shasta. I didn’t know what my birthday would look like or who I would spend it with.
And instead, Spirit gave me the most beautiful reminder:
I am loved.
I am cared for.
I am worthy.
I belong. 🤍
The magic started before my birthday with an unexpected invitation into the Dragon’s Den along the Dragon Spine at South Gate Meadows. 🐉
Then, beneath the eclipse moon going into my birthday, my new friends Derek and Juls Powell and I hiked up the mountain to a stone circle almost above the tree line.
As the moon rose, we sat in ceremony, and I felt called to offer a light language ancestral clearing.
The moment I said, “The reason we’re all here is for an ancestral clearing,” an owl flew over us. 🦉🌕
Jules shared that owls rarely come that high on the mountain.
Immediately, I remembered my 30th birthday, when a white Pueo owl flew past me in Hawai‘i during a birthday that had actually been deeply disappointing.
Three years later, another owl.
But this time I was on Mount Shasta.
Surrounded by new soul family.
Under an eclipse moon.
Welcoming in 33.
It felt like the completion of a cycle. 🌀
And the next night, these beautiful new friends cooked me dinner and threw me a birthday party. There was cake, candles, singing, friends gathered around the table, and so much laughter that my cheeks hurt. 😂🎂
The very thing I was afraid I might not have — connection, community, people to celebrate with — arrived so effortlessly.
This birthday reminded me that I don’t have to chase love or force belonging.
I am already loved.
I am already held.
I am already worthy.
And wherever I go, soul family finds me. 🌈
Thank you to every beautiful human who celebrated with me, adventured with me, sang with me, prayed with me, and sent me birthday love.
My heart is soul full.
33, I think we’re going to have a lot of fun together. 🐉✨🤍
