One Year Ago Today Monday Morning Check-In Post - Plus a Video Excerpt from Our Last Transmission
How Are YOU??!!
On a whim, it seemed, I created this account and hit publish on my very first piece.
It wasn’t really unexpected, I’d been writing in my mind for decades and releasing dribs and drabs on Facebook and Instagram. Plus I kept seeing the word “Substack” every time I turned my head on social media for a few months. Heck, the first time I heard the word was in February of 2020 while dining at the Farmer and the Cook right before our entire reality would shift. Again.
However, I suddenly found myself here last May 27th and in a matter of minutes was set up and committed as I announced it publicly.
I then had a big, “WTF did I just do?” moment as I often do when I do the thing that scares me. And I am scared, some of the time. Don’t let my bossy big mouth fool you into thinking I am not.
There is this belief in the new age/woo/wellness community that fear is the nemesis of creation. From my perspective, fear is just another natural emotional state. It’s instructive, and how we respond to our fears affects our reality. The same is true for all our feelings.
Side Note:
said this recently and I found it to be such a wonderful perspective on emotions and intuition and running the 3d and 5d experience at the same time:“You know, I had a realization somewhere along the way that we use the same word “feeling” to describe both emotions and intuition. And it’s a real bummer because they are not the same thing, but most people don’t realize that, and it creates so much angst and confusion.
Once I realized that I could sense intuition and next steps but still have feelings about those things in my emotions, that really helped me. Intuition is where I try to take action from, and it’s great when my emotions are happy and on board. But sometimes intuition tells me things that I have strong frustration, sadness, grief, anger, etc about.”
Intuitively I knew that putting myself out there via this platform was the correct choice for me in the moment, emotionally I was not so sure. I did it anyway while also tending to my emotional state. Intuitively I also knew that by doing this I was about to trigger a huge change for me and my family, a change I could feel was imminent, and yet a change I did not then know the specifics of.
Here I am writing about it:
And Here:
This weekend we began to expand our dog-walking prospects and headed to Lovelace Park on the North end of Evanston. I wanted to go there because I was over in that part of town earlier after going to my third Farmers’ Market of the week and heard the cicada song for the first time. They should be here on our block at any moment.
I pulled into the parking lot and even though there was a space on my left, my intuition told me to keep going. I hit the end of the lot without another open spot in sight and no exit at that end. Ugh! Why??? I had to back up and then do a 3-point turn to get to the one I had seen when coming in. I put the car in park and suddenly this piece of springtime magic happened right in front of us.
There is so much beauty to behold in this city. The photos below were taken at Indian Boundary Park. This turtle was very patient with us and our pack.
Thank you so much for reading, commenting, sharing, subscribing, and all the other ways you are supporting me so I can continue to write and share. A special thank you to those who have chosen paid subscriptions or sent me donations. Turning on the paid subscriber button was another huge leap for me, one that triggered some fear that needed to be addressed before I could do it.
thank you so much for creating this video for us all from our Last Blast of Love from Ojai on April 18th. The Pleiadians and Yeshua share about the integration of the fifth-dimensional identity into the density of our human forms, walking our path, the shift in our reality, operating as an agent of change, and more.How are You??!! Please drop me a comment below and let me know.

Wow Nora, what a most wonderful surprise to be quoted in your piece today. I feel so special and like I’m receiving the most beautiful gift. Thank you!! 🙏🏼 I’m glad it resonated with you and hope it helps others too!
It’s been such a joy to get to share in your journey of life in general as well as your journey with writing specifically this past year. And what a year of change it’s been for you. May the magic continue to dance in all the abundant ways ✨
In my world, I’ve been in a really quiet, slow phase. I had an opening a week or so ago in my lower chakras after processing some deep body shame where I viscerally realized how unsafe it has felt to soften. Since then, I’ve been actively relaxing my pelvic floor, womb, and belly more and it’s been such a different experience of life to soften and open.
And, at the same time, my belly has never felt bigger which triggers a lot of body image stuff. This whole flow though has opened me to more juiciness and turn on with life in general, but has also revealed so much fear of that turn on, fear of what I might be attracted to, fear of where it will lead me. Moving slowly, processing, and opening continue.
And in so doing, my life keeps getting flowier. The slower I move, the more I rest, the easier action is to take. I’m still getting things done, strangely enough to my mind, just without efforting it or “trying to get myself to”. It’s giving me some renewed hope that maybe my business and writing will come along in due time (things my mind really wants) if I just stop trying to force it. I guess time will tell. But it reminds me a lot of your journey with writing and that gives me hope and taps me into the magic too.
Big hugs to you and the whole crew 🙏🏼🤗💜
Oh Nora, you must know, however I'll express it again, how happy I am for you all to re-find the beauty of the place you find yourselves. Thank you for posting these missives as they reassure me of a journey taken with trust, love and intuition, as well as our humaness full of doubt and stumbling.
Checking in with a report of bread crumbs are followed as they are dropped and I have connected with people in the film and production world, just as I work on my screen play. One man had just released his film about his father who owned a club in Chicago, Mr. Kelley's, and he knew my family. And had just posted a photo of my grandfather an hour before I met him! Another, yesterday I met a producer of many Broadway shows and he single handedly produced and funded
" smoke signals". The breadcrumbs have made me nibble them up to follow a oath where a supportive kind person will be helping me, whereas before I would run for the hills from any producer!
Love to you all.
