Greetings Self Care Explorers!
Our theme this month is understanding ourselves. What do I mean by that? Well, I want us to dig into the way we operate at a base level. So…how do you react to certain situations? What is it that you crave, dream of, and appreciate? What motivates you? What scares you? How do all these things come together to create the magical human that is you?!?!
Our tool of discovery for all this and more is the Enneagram! Maybe you’re already familiar with the Enneagram, your number, your wing, and what it all means. Awesome! Maybe you’re shaking your head in confusion right now. Either way, use the links I’m providing here to take an Enneagram test and then check out what it all means. Now, this won’t be a super deep dive into the world of the Enneagram, but can be a great way to get started learning about it. If you love it, you can keep learning after this month!
To get started, click here to take the test. The test on this site is free, but they want you to pay for info about your results. You can skip paying them the money and go to this site to read about your number and what it means.
Our self-discovery questions this month are: How can I understand myself better? What drives me? What scares me?
Our breathwork technique is: Bees Breath! A favorite of mine :)
If you have time to watch the video this month, that’s what I’ll be talking about. Everything’s optional though, so don’t feel like you have to do everything!
Also, keep reading for some notes about last month’s meeting and some important reminders!
Just a note about this video. While editing it I noticed that you can’t hear my humming during the breath work. I’m so sorry! I didn’t realize that my microphone filtered it out because it thought it was background noise! Play along with whatever kind of humming feels right for you.
Some reminders and new information:
We’re having a social hang out!
Come join me and whoever shows up for a chill informal social event on Friday, May 13th, from 7-8pm CT.
Here’s the Facebook event page with the details.
Our meeting is on May 21st from 12-2pm CT. Zoom will be open from 11:45am CT so you can come early to get set up, chat, and hang out so we can start right on time.
Please arrive on time or you’ll have to wait to enter until we take our break near the middle of the call. Based on the vote we took, no one will be allowed into the meeting after the 10 minute mark until we break around the halfway point.
This month you’ll need something to write on and with, but don’t worry. No one else will see it unless you choose to share with the them. Other than that, just bring a comforting drink and/or snack, some cozy clothes, and yourself!
Time: May 21, 2022 12:00 PM Central Time (US and Canada)

My availability for June is very limited, and I apologize for that! I’ll be out of town for my 40th birthday the last weekend of the month!
We’ll be using when2meet.com to schedule our meeting dates and times. This is a free service, but there are sometimes ads on the page. You do not need to pay for anything when you access the link above. Here are basic instructions to fill out the scheduler.
Click the link to go to the When2Meet page with our calendar options for next month.
Enter your name and an optional password if you want to be able to come back and edit your availability. I recommend this.
Click ‘sign in’ and it will show you the scheduler. Be sure to check your time zone and make sure it’s correct for you. It will show you a selection of dates, divided by the hour, where you can fill in your availability.
To fill in your available times for our meeting, simply click on the little rectangles that divide up the hours. You can fine tune your available times by 15 minute increments. Select all the times that you would be available for our call. Do not select any times where you would not be available.
You will see the group’s availability on the right side of the screen, and can take a look at when the most overlap is. We will select our meeting time based on when the majority of people are available at the same time. Please fill the scheduler out asap so we can confirm the next meeting time and people can block their calendars.
