Wait, what? Another BonBlast?
Yep! I’m back.
That last note was a quickie about the Friday livestream (here). This one is a couple o’ “Save the Date” thingies and some deep thoughts about the joy that is SHARING our creative gifts.
But first, a little love from Mala Beads. 🐕 📿 ❤️
So.
I’m flipping through channels on my TV (yes, I still have a proper TV and I still flip through channels like a caveman) and I stop on something called Halloween Baking Championship.
They’re running a marathon of past seasons in order to warm everyone up for the new season. Apparently this is a whole thing.
I don’t mind being late to a party. Or even missing a party altogether. I like bumping into things when I bump into them and then enjoying them RIGHT THEN. Whenever the heck that is.
As I’m enjoying the buttercream out of this display of creativity that happens in a room I rarely enter (I burn water), I hear one of the judges say, “I’m gonna have to get that recipe from you!”
The contestant beams.
And it strikes me how beautiful it is when someone is ridiculously good at something, finds glee in putting it out there, and has zero issue with sharing the whole HOW of it all.
Like, kitchen people *love* when their recipes are shared, interpreted, improved upon, made into variations of, and so on.
(This is not me discouraging protecting your creative creations! In fact, a brilliant client/friend just shared this guide to protecting online course components because she knows how much I swoon over a good trademark and the whole artists incorporating thing in general.)
Seeing the JOY kicks up smiles in ME, as I watch all of this creative problem-solving being celebrated.
To wit:
Here’s me enjoying the FRICK out of doing a livestream, connecting with folks whose comments in the live chat crack me up and help me know they’re getting something out of our time together too.
To catch you up, I’m celebrating a RETURN to livestreaming after having taken significant time away from it. (So much time away that YouTube de-monetized my channel 😮 while I was gone.) WHOMP-WHOMP
Also, I ghosted my mailing list for a good long while.
(BTW, I can show you in my chart where this DRASTIC pulling-away was gonna happen… one way or another.)
One of my favorite things about having allowed myself to go with the flow of pulling way back on, well, everything is that I’ve been able to add back things that align with my values. My goals. My centeredness. My joy for BEING.
And most importantly perhaps: my capacity for being present.
This latest livestream was just so nourishing for me. Yes, it’s a GIVE. Yes, it requires prep and post-stream work as well as the time spent IN the livestream itself. And yes, there is an Energetic Load to consider no matter how enjoyable the act may be.
But I didn’t have to recover from the experience.
And that’s what I’d like for you, too.
Know that it may not be possible right away, but in allowing yourself more float time within your life as it exists right now, you can incrementally get yourself to the point at which your lived experience simply FEELS BETTER.
We’re in a 9 year, numerologically. The focus in a 9 year is pruning, decluttering, removing what no longer serves us as we clear space for a whole new cycle starting up on January 1st 2026.
Consider what you currently have to recover from. Could you start doing less of that? And maybe sub in some things that ADD energy to your life?
That brings me to my save-the-date info!
In October 2025, I’ve got 2 livestreams, a webinar, a day-long work-along party, and my monthly Use Your Moons live demo.
free livestreams: October 2nd & October 29th
free Astrology of Activism webinar: October 24th
Astrology Vision Board Party! October 18th
Use Your Moons demo: October 16th
This weekend, I’ll be updating my EVENTS page (where all the latest info and links live) and — when you can buy your ticket for the Astrology Vision Board Party! — I’ll be all up in your inbox for sure (these events are always SO! MUCH! FUN! and I’m really stoked about this latest iteration). The Astrology of Activism is something I’m doing with some of my favorite people on the planet and OMG I’m just so blissed out to be in the idea-to-build phase with so many things!
Oh! Also!
Big thank you to everyone who weighed in on the 🎙 podcast rebrand! We have our new identity and we’ll be rolling that out in October as well. THANK YOU for enjoying our MELISSA HAS QUESTIONS experiment. 👯 This has been such a fun collab and you’re gonna love where we’re going from here!
Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Okay. This has been a lot. I got inspired by creative cakes and now I think we’re all caught up. 🤗 At least… from my side of things.
NOW, YOU!
Catch me up. What’s got you inspired? Are you working on anything creative that you’re excited about? Still loving the irrational optimism of Jupiter in Cancer? Got a request for livestream topics I’ll tackle for you? Wanna share a favorite resource for healthy activism options? A favorite Halloween cake recipe?
Come over to our Discord and say hi! 💙🖤🧡💗💜💚 I see every post (eventually).
All my love (and GO, DAWGS),
