Last night I was in a gorgeous villa sharing philosophical ideas with Harvard Professor and New York Times Bestselling Author, Noah Feldman about the spiritual constructs of life, religion and who or what is God?
The fact that I can write a sentence like that makes me very happy.
You see the past few years, particularly since October 2023, I've felt incredibly lonely. People, situations and what used to feel ok... haven't.
I've split up with a lot.
I'm sure you have too.
Even now, some conversations that used to excite me feel mundane. I have no patience for anything that doesn't serve my mission and the life I want to create for myself.
This hole... π³
which a few years ago I wondered if I'd ever crawl out of.
It seems...
... I'm crawling out of π

Professor Noah Feldman, Ubud Bali, speaking on the weave between both profound Jewish mysticism and Balinese culture.
Before I took myself off to an Ayahuasca ceremony... I was told lean in and face your fears. Because if you don't, the fear and experiences will only amplify and get worse.
You don't need plant medicine to face your fears.
Walk outside and there's opportunity to see them π³
Loneliness, I feel is a part of the evolutionary process. It's scary. Even the best of us who are worldly and wise still get discombobulated when the familiar and comfortable drops away without warning.
But isolation can be an incredible transformational act.
To go without and only have yourself will change you.
It's why this world of earthly delights can be so distracting. The outside world of seemingly desirable people and things taking your attention away from the epicenter of sweetness you've always had within yourself.
Connect with your epicenter and watch yourself soar.
π₯ In a simplistic nutshell, this has been my process with loneliness, maybe it will help you:
Acceptance: Death and rebirth is a fact - everything has a cycle.
Feel: Feel all the feels. Don't push them down.
Honesty: What am I missing about that person/situation? Did I really like it anyway?
Define: Who am I? What actually excites me?
Say No: If I'm not excited - say no! Don't go back to the familiar.
Create Opportunities: Join organisations or groups you find interesting.
Believe:Know that your people will eventually turn up.
However, expect a lonely chapter first and in that void be strong. Don't go back.
Instead, focus on your physical strength (which provides mental strength) and health. This will build your confidence, so when the time comes to actually meet new people - you'll be able to. Use the time you have to focus on yourself instead of others.
Keep steadfast in what you want to create, be clear with who you want to spend time with, and how you want to spend your time... doom scrolling on socials can't be on that list.
Loneliness isn't a bad thing, in fact it could be the best thing that ever happened to you.

Entrepreneur Artistry Chakra Philosophy for Business Owners Entrepreneurship is Creative Thinking Hi Reader, "Well you chose to live in Indonesia Mellie, I don't know how you do it..." I'm on the phone to my brother. Utterly wrecked from a two day immigration change and bombshell extravaganza. Last week I was going about my business. This week?... the red carpet got royally yanked from under me leaving me illegal. Not the first time I've been a fugitive. I don't think it matters what country...
Entrepreneur Artistry Chakra Philosophy for Business Owners Influence & Experimentation Hi Reader, Good lord. You may recall a few newsletters back where I shared I'm a 3/5 Human Design.My experience with this Hawaiian guy (from the last newsletter) is such a clear and great example of my 3/5 Human Design in action. I dive into the fire, experience what's going on, and then come out the other side with a clear knowing of what doesn't work. Knowing everything, doesn't work. For me. All is now...
Entrepreneur Artistry Chakra Philosophy for Business Owners Saving My Own Soul. Hi Reader, Iβve built businesses before, and Iβve made my fair share of mistakes. But this time I refuse to screw things up with the Bali Retreat Broker. I finally took the leap and hired a full-time assistant over the weekend (!!). Iβm both excited and terrified - because letting go of control and the thought of training someone truly strains my brain. I'm a stubborn muffin (Taurus Moon). And I can do a lot....
