A little bit of this and a little bit of that

You might not have been expecting to hear from me today since I’ve mentioned in a previous post that I would take one week off a month. But I wanted to pop in to say hi and express my gratitude.

I’m deeply thankful for each of you. While it’s true that we writers are motivated by our passions and the stirrings of our hearts, or as Jung would say, following the libido, we also write for you, our cherished readers.

Welcome new subscribers. Yeah, I’m so happy you’re here! And a huge thank you to those who have been reading and supporting Because Life is Messy…for a while now.

We’re Going Substack Live

Recently, after reading my post “Dark Night of the Soul - A Daring Path to Love,” the author and publisher of The Daily Chocolate Taoist™, Diamond-Michael, reached out to me for a conversation to discuss my essay. We then discussed his hosting a Substack Live with me as his guest.

As an avid reader of The Daily Chocolate Taoist™, I said, “Hell yes!” I’m excited to engage in a deeper conversation with him. We’ll discuss the reclamation of Tantra, the confluence of Tantra and Taoism, and how both systems remain relevant and helpful for living fully and sanely during these chaotic times.

So, mark your calendars for Wednesday, April 16th, at 6:00 pm PT. Don’t forget to download the Substack App so you can be with us live and ask questions. While it will be recorded, it’s always more enjoyable and engaging to watch it live. We know everyone is busy, so we’ll send a reminder.
