After the recent storms that blew through the area and my sister helping me redesign my website, I decided to reflect on who I’ve become… so here goes...
In 2024, I registered a business with the state under the name Modern Mystics Collective.
I didn’t fully understand the name.
I didn’t really know what I was going to offer.
And I definitely didn’t know how to run a business.
Truly, I had no clue what I was doing. I just knew something inside me was asking me to begin.
So I did.
Instead of waiting until I had everything figured out, I started moving in the direction of what made me feel alive and joyful.
I followed creativity. Curiosity. Connection. Intuition. Beauty. Play.
I kept choosing the experiences that brought me closer to myself.
And even as the world around me has often felt heavy or scary, I became even more devoted to the simple miracle of being alive—to gratitude, serenity, peace, possibility and joy.
What I didn’t realize then was that I wasn’t only building a business.
I was becoming the person who could create it.
Over these past two years, I’ve learned to trust myself differently. I’ve become more willing to follow what I feel before I can explain it. More comfortable saying no to what pulls me away from myself and yes to what feels true. More willing to create without knowing exactly where the creation will lead.
And recently, the name began to make sense.
Modern Mystics Energy isn’t simply the name of my business anymore. It reflects the way I want to live.
Fully here in my human life—creating, loving others, playing, learning and participating in the world. It has been amazing!
And at the same time, I’ve been listening to the mystery, wisdom and deeper knowing moving underneath it all, which has also been amazing.
Recently, my friend Dawn published a book called The Spiral of Remembering: A Journey Home to the Self.
Even the title moved me, because that is what these past two years have felt like.
Not becoming someone entirely new.
Remembering more of who I already was.
And perhaps that’s what this whole journey has been about.
I thought I was creating Modern Mystics.
But in so many ways, Modern Mystics was creating me.
To my extra special team of family and friends who have encouraged me, taught me, challenged me, believed in me and walked beside me as I found my way…thank you!
I’m still discovering.
But now I really understand that I don’t have to know exactly where the path leads to trust the next step.
