Niche
No, I will not "niche down."
I am here for the WHOLE.
I can niche, and the whole thing still comes through.
I can say "we're just here to talk about dating!" or business! or money! or some other profitable thing.
Ooh, polarity!
but we could not possibly.
The whole of human experience is available in any niche.
The practices of exquisite and easeful participation iterate again and again
so that any niche informs every niche, and suddenly our dating group is about our grandmothers and our taxes and the unfelt grief of events we cannot remember.
We try to speak about your partnership and your business takes center stage, gushing money in the weeks that follow.
And would it be a business conversation without mention of generational patterns, your childhood dinner table?
We were here to talk about boundaries and now we are shopping together for the best acoustic noise-cancelling headphones, and still it IS about boundaries, because man, do those things COMMUNICATE your exclusive availability for silence.
The best and worst thing I could say is that this is the work of manifestation—it is the truest definition and the most corrupted by notions of unreal magic, floaty mysticism, toxic optimism, shopping the universe like a catalogue.
This could not be further from the truth.
Manifestation is MUNDANE magic. It is the unfolding of literal reality and our free-will choices about how to experience it and respond.
It is the magic we wield when we increase our optionality in terms of circumstance AND experience.
It is our understanding of the way we prioritize what's precedented, feel compelled to knock the response to the call.
It is our commitment to expand our lexicon of responses to reality as it arises familiarly in never-before-seen forms; it is our determination to bear the tension as we transcend impulse with intention.
It is our responsibility for how we show up to life; it is our relationship to being in the role of responsibility in each circumstance which arises.
It is infinite and practical, expansive, enormous, all-encompassing, yet it is only here and now.
Manifestation is reality arising all around us, and exquisite practices leave us at ease, surrendered, understanding, capable, agile, nuanced, stable, sovereign, interconnected, and empowered as reality serves what it does.

These pillars reinforce ANYTHING that is shaky, like snake oil sold to go right to heal any part that might be ailing, but
it's real.
It's real.
Like water it cannot help but flow to the lowest point, the stuck part, rising back up from there, lifting the boats from the floor of the harbor, not one by one but
all at once.
