Giveaway Recipients & A Break
I’ll keep this post short and sweet by kicking off with thanking those of you who joined in on the New Moon Gratitude Giveaway. Because of a busy week, it took me a while to go through the lists from people who decided to see it all the way through with me and us. I hadn’t had opportunity until this morning to go through things and post the recipients of the four gifts I promised as a way of honoring your commitment.
The four people in no particular order are:
Reid Reichardt
Ana Pena
Jane Guzman
Lisa Gonzales
I’ll be contacting each of you to get your gifts out. I was truly moved by the experiences you had with this and how meaningful you found it to be. I honor each of you for doing this challenging work.
This last week has been both full and full circle for me. It has solidified some things and put others into motion. Wednesday through Friday were particularly shifting, as well as a bit exhausting, yet pivotal clarity came as to a phase I chose three years ago.
I had only snippets of what it meant, but am understanding more what is in alignment with it. It’s a new phase that hasn’t an example to reflect for me, so it will be both a challenge and adventure to reinvent things.
It is because of this that the regular Ask Astrid Fridays blog didn’t come in yesterday and because of things she and I are committing to working on together, we’ll be taking at least the next week off from any blogging as well.
Depending on how much we move through, will depend on how the next week looks, but I at least want one full week to dive in deep so that I can get a handle on and anchor in a new experience we’re reinventing.
Once it feels to be in motion, I’ll be better able to schedule in other things.
This feels supportive also to my being very inward these days and needing more space for myself.
Thursday is a big day for the two of us leading into Summer Solstice on Friday. This is a special time and sacred portal that feels especially supportive for igniting what we’re focusing on right now.
We hope it will be a beautiful doorway for your light as well.
Thank you again to everyone who delved into the self gratitude and giving in the way that felt right for you. I hope you’ll continue to implement this into your life to become a natural part of living.

I hope you find your time away in deep dive fruitful Tania. I admire that you are so tuned into what is happening within and through you.
Thank you SO much sweet friend! I sure appreciate you and have a deep respect for you. Plus you’re fun!!
You help bring out my fun side. 🙂
aw yay!! aren’t we both lucky to share that ❤ i think that's the best gift – if we can bring out some laughter and joy in others. thank you for helping with the giggles!
Absolutely. It’s delightful to share in the giggles and fun.
That’s a beautiful picture of you Tania. It seems like your necklace is reflecting your undergoing metamorphosis. Hoppy new week and Summer Solstice to you and Astrid.
Thank you dearly! Yeah, I had a lot of butterfly energy around me this day between necklace, leggings and swarms of them all around me on the hike. Most butterflies I’ve seen! One even landed on my shirt and hung out 🦋 wishing you a most beautiful week and Solstice too RJ. Lots of loving hugs sent your way from us 😘
Everybody deserves a break.Take good care of yourself and Astrid!
It’s funny how you call your companion because my cousin’s name in Latvia is Astrid.
As you know, I live in Canada, nobody says correctly my name because it’s unusual for here.
I am moving house and studio and I will have a break, too.
Good luck to you!
I really appreciate that Inese ❤ thank you! How synchronous and lovely your cousin's name is Astrid too. I feel it is such a beautiful name. I can imagine that people may have difficulty with pronouncing your name. It's interesting, I have the same challenge here all of my life because in the states most people are only used to hearing the name Tonya, but my name is not pronounced like that. My name is pronounced tan-ya (tan, like the sun tans your skin – not tahn). No matter how many times I tell people they still can't get it. So I understand what you go through and how you might feel.
I wish you well with your move. That sounds exciting. I know it is a lot of work to move, but so much fun to decorate and create your new space too.
Wishing you a wonderful Solstice and nice break.
