New Hair

I finally did it after years of wanting to! I dyed my hair fun colors! A couple years ago I tried purple overtone, which just went over my original hair color then eventually washed out. This was the first time I bleached my hair and went for something fun! I love it so much. I showed up to school on the last day with a fresh new look. A student’s parent saw me in the parking lot and asked if she could take my photos, she’s a professional photographer. She came back after school and we did a mini photoshoot.

Learning Embroidery

The website I buy/sell my fabrics on has weekly design challenges. One week it was to design a pre-printed embroidery pattern. This was not something I had done before. I went down a rabbit hole of learning about embroidery and I found I really enjoyed it. I also really enjoyed watching some of the tutorial videos with the sound of the string going through the canvas. It’s very similar to crochet or knitting, where it is a great thing to do while watching tv or a movie.

Bread Making

Adrian had me watch a Netflix documentary called Cooked, it then led me down a rabbit hole of other food shows. I ended up making bread a TON during the month of November. My favorite were the bread bowls and focaccia bread. I also tried pasta making, but that isn’t for me!

My Moon Obsession

I’ve been on a little journey exploring spirituality in different ways. I got into reading Tarot cards and oracle cards. I’m currently exploring The Sophia Code thanks to Chloe.  I’m working with the energy of the moon and feeling it call to me each time. I think this quote hits home because I am in the process of aligning to my highest self and I feel like I have been passing through so many phases but I need to remember that I am whole and I can love myself unconditionally through anything I go through.

Human Design – I’m a Generator

I recently learned about Human Design and I am now obsessed. I came across human design while listening to one of my podcasts. I then started listening to other Human Design podcasts, my favorite is DayLuna. I wanted to know more so I found a chart reader in my Rose Gold Goddess group online. She read my chart and Adrian’s. It was interesting to have certain things validated as yes that is why…

I am a generator. What that means is I have a ton of energy to do the things I am passionate about, and also unfortunately the energy to power through the things that make me miserable without making a change.

I am learning to listen to my body as my authority is my sacral, which means “listen to your gut”

When I am in line with my Highest Self I feel satisfaction but when I am out of alignment I feel frustration. I think I have been out of alignment for a while as I feel like I was frustrated with everything the past few years. I am starting to take note of things that make me happy and satisfied. One thing for sure is building things. I am obsessed with creating and crafting. I can get lost in something and want to go full steam in. I haven’t found anything that has kept my attention for longer than 6 months though. Still searching for that one Hell Yes!

I have a completely open Solar Plexus which controls emotions, what this means, is that I can often take on other’s emotions around me without knowing where they  are from as well as how to express them. Therapy is at least helping me learn how to express those emotions. I am also learning that this can amplify other people’s emotions and that is a little hard with a house full of girls with defined Solar Plexus centers.

One thing I am working on is my Gate 50, which is a fear gate. This is fear of responsibility. This has really come out in me avoiding “adulting”. People often ask how I do it all with 4 kids, truth is I DON’T! I have a ton of help from my parents and Adrian.  My intention for myself is to work on this fear and start telling myself that I am capable of anything and household chores are not that hard! I am entering the new year with the mantra that responsibilities are not a burden. I can take care of myself as well as my home and family.

In our household we almost have one of each type in the Human Design system.

Adrian and I are both Generators 

Generators are approximately 37% of the population. They produce their own energy, and when doing something they love – they can work on it for hours with a seemingly endless supply of energy. They are here to work on what lights them up, and in turn, light up others and the world around them.

Jillian and Alice are Manifesting Generators

Approximately 33% of the population – Manifesting generators are a mix of a generator and a manifestor! When doing what they love they have a super human ability to create things and then see them through to completion. Like the generator, they are here to do what lights them up and light up the world around them – and they can be extremely efficient because of their ability to manifest new

Olivia is a Projector

Approximately 21% of the population – Projectors are here to act as guides for the world around them. Every projector has the ability to see things in a way that others cannot, and with their penetrating aura, they have the ability to connect with other energies very well. Projector’s greatest desire it to be recognized for their unique gifts and to share their guidance with the world. Once recognized, projectors can have an incredible impact on the world around them. Projectors do not create their own energy, and rather fuel off of the energy of those around them. It is vital for their health to prioritize having a lot of rest. They can burn out very easily, and because they are so productive when they have energy, they really should only be “working” 2-3hrs a day, and spend the rest of their time resting or honing their skills. This will bring them success and abundance in life.

Claire is a Manifestor 

Approximately 7% of the population – Manifestors are here to create and give their creations to the world.  Their strategy is To Inform and they thrive when they do just that. They are not here to “do” in the same way as a Generator or a ManGen.  By creating new things and creating what THEY want in the moment, they “do” the best service to themselves and the world.

Purple Hair

I dyed my hair purple this week. It has been something I have been so scared to do my whole life, but something I’ve always wanted to do. This is a year about doing what makes me happy and dying my hair is that first step! I LOVE it!
