Greetings 👋 — let's play in the world of possibility

​Hey all,

​I've been challenging myself to write more, and get things out of draft mode — a challenge that has so far led to a blog on my own positive reinforcement flywheels, reflecting on finding my own harmony on the internet, and even a TikTok I previously wouldn't have posted because it wasn't good enough.

​This all being said — it's been, freeing? I'm learning to take time to play in the world of possibilities a bit more. ✨

​And one under explored possibility is the space of this Luma newsletter. In this space I plan to:

  • ​Share updates on what I'm working on 🔨

  • ​Share events that I'm excited about, hosting, or attending 📅

  • ​Build relationships with more amazing humans doing things in this universe 💫

​Into this? Cool — let's keep in touch.
Not your jam? That's cool too.

​A friend recently replied to something I wrote with this:

​Really love yourself: look in the mirror and make amends, not because a magazine article or social media post says it's okay, but because you're all you've got. Because you respect yourself as a person, as a human being. Help those you love, not those who others have told you need help.

​... Spend your energies on what makes you and yours happy.

​So my question to you is this — how are you spending your energy on what makes you and yours happy?

​Here's a few things that I'm spending my energy on that make me happy:

  • ​Reading — lately I've been into understanding the systems that have influenced so much of the world we live in. The Age of Surveillance Capitalism has been a great read.

  • ​Grill Dad Shenanigans — My panny hobbies were fermenting, cocktails + grilling. This meant much

  • ​Thinking about how we foster connection — I was asked recently, what is my why? and looking back into my non-linear career path, I'm passionate about fostering spaces for those who do things together. 💜

​Future events + shenanigans I hope to share joy with you at!

​What are you up to? Where are you spending your energy? What motivates you? What are you scared of? Whats on your mind?

​Reply to this email + let me know.

Until next time, friends. 💫

​Erin
