Care Packages🤲🏽

You know when someone who loves you sends you a parcel with a bunch of goodies in it? I’m endeared to the care package (in whatever form it comes) as a way of making, way of caring, way of sharing. There’s no shortage of possibility as to how a care package presents, what it contains, what assortments are collected, how it’s delivered, how it’s received, and what it might mean to it’s recipients.

I value that this orientation toward making and giving can bring together items that you don’t always see together. You’re simply giving what’s needed and what might land as care. I like when a care package is a sweet collection of some practical stuffs and also things for pure enjoyment (maybe highlighting the functionality of joy and pleasure to our survival); a mix of things you can use in the long run plus some things to use right now. A box containing socks, a nice notebook, some chocolate, a bag of rice.

I like both mail and creating with the intention to give, so the Care Package holds a place in my heart. I send the people on my list a weekly (email) Care Package 🤲🏽. I write them with the intention of both holding space for all the positive possibility that you radiate, and to be of real tangible use. Ideas that you can grab onto, that make a difference in your life.

I created the Care Package Archive to collect these packages all in one place. Sign up if ya wanna receive em straight to your inbox.

CARE PACKAGE 9 🤲🏽 Why I Don’t Work With Just Anyone

Why I don’t work with just anybody

I choose to be decisive about who I work with. Let me tell you why this matters.

We can’t talk about health without talking about healing, we can’t approach healing without understanding environments, and we can’t master our environments without realizing that relationships are environments.

Relationships are environments. Environments are relationships.

As you know, my coaching approach is to assist my clients in creating their own personalized wellness ecosystem.The primary environments that make up that ecosystem are home, body, spirit, habits, and prosperity. These are all areas and subjects that we are in relationship with and thus make up our environments, the environments that are either contributing to our health and ease or adding to our struggle and disease. 

Relationships and environments are everything to your health and wellness, and central to my work for that reason. So of course I’m going to recognize the relationship between you and I (me and my clients) as paramount and foundational to all the work we do in our time together.

The relationship between you and I is the first environment we encounter at the beginning of a process that is actually, sneakily, all about environment creation. 

I choose to be decisive about who I work with 1) for you, 2) for me, and 3) for the work itself. With respect for you and your growth potential, it’s my responsibility to make sure we’re a good fit, to make sure that what I have to offer you is appropriate for you right now, and to make sure that you are poised to receive the most benefit from it. 

I choose clients with whom there is a mutual respect and reverence, because that energy is felt by both of us and makes a difference.

It matters that our work together is an honoring of us both because to be in a space of honoring is healing (and it is my intention that your process of healing, growth, development, and evolution be initiated the moment you enter my space). 

Not to mention the fun and joy that is bound to be had throughout the process when we are a good fit! It contributes to both our quality of life and strengthens the work. I love my clients! And that is a distinctly different energy than not feeling that way about everyone I work with.

I would be remiss to do all this chatting about environments and not care for this first foundational environment between you and me. To not be mindful of this space would be like serving Chef Boyardi at the opening of a high-end restaurant. Not off to a great start and absolutely missing a great opportunity to embody and exemplify.

The relationship between you and I is the first healing environment we create in our work together. (In a future Care Package I will talk about specific values that uphold environments and how they influence everything)

If you are curious about coaching with me, I encourage you to reach out and book a call. There’s a good chance that you are called to it for a reason. If you are in the habit of ignoring your intuition and intrigue… Don’t trick yourself into thinking things will change when your circumstances change; things change when you change and start to trust yourself. How can you make a choice today that honors your intrigue?

Thought exercise: Begin to wonder what your personal wellness ecosystem could look like and what benefits you could reap from committing yourself to it: your health and wellness, your clarity, energy and strength, alignment and direction, effortless productivity, your prosperity and capacity to manifest. If anything were possible, what would you want for yourself?

Where might you be 1 year from now if you fully committed to it and bought into the idea that everything you imagine for yourself is 100% possible?

Alternately, where might you be 1 year from now if you don’t make any changes?

Have a beautiful day!

Envisioning a new generation of nurtured and creative evolvers, 

Loretta
