Hello good people,
Wherever you are right now… whatever you are experiencing right now… hello to you. Hello to your personal joys. Hello to our collective joys. Hello to your personal sadnesses. Hello to our collective sadnesses. Hello to your personal angers and our collective angers. Hello to your personal challenges and triumphs, to our collective challenges and triumphs.
Hello to you—to all you are,
It’s been a full summer for me and my pack… connective visits from my parents and in-laws, supporting my husband in moving his shop into a location four times the size of his old shop, a stupendous van adventure to Montana, and oh so much more.
I’m wondering how your summer has been?
Have you been able to safely connect with loved ones?
Have you been feeling supported in the midst of the changes you’re moving through—both big and small?
I do hope so…
In the midst of connection and adventure, I’ve been in deep process with my creative work.
I’m feeling ready as I’ll ever feel to share the name and place of my new virtual creative homebase: www.bewithcassandra.com
On Tuesday September 7, 2021, I will start to email out weekly posts from Be With Cassandra! experiments in belonging (e.i.b.) and Well-Resourced (my other Substack newsletter) will both simply become lovely archives to look back to while Be With Cassandra becomes vibrantly active!
I am also in the process of developing a monthly newsletter that will go out to readers who would like to monetarily support the creative work I offer. More on that as it unfolds!
I am choosing to not just assume that you want to continue this creative journey with me. I would rather check in with you. Do you want to subscribe and follow along with me over at Be With Cassandra? If yes, click here.
I will not be automatically moving your email address over to my new list. You will need to opt-in by subscribing yourself at Be With Cassandra or replying to this emailed note and telling me you want to opt-in!
I will also be emailing each subscriber individually to check in.
This process of checking in with each subscriber is in accordance with the eight foundational values of my creative work, specifically #4:
4. The ‘we’ is given as much attention as 'you' and 'me.'
I work with humans and more-than-humans who wish to sustain fruitful, joyful, reliable, and mutually beneficial partnerships with me…. [to read on, visit this post on bewithcassandra.com]
Very often it takes more time and patience to attend to the ‘we,’ (a.k.a. the relationship between two or more beings) than just moving onward based solely on my needs and desires or solely yours. The more I make my way through the world, the more I witness and experience the thrill and authenticity of when two or more beings make the time and space to join together in a ‘we.’
Since I seek to nurture the ‘we’ between and amongst each and all of us here, I choose to connect in particular ways. It’s certainly all an experiment. There is no one right way, nor one wrong way, of doing any of this. This value of attending to the ‘we’ reminds me to orient myself to you in an attuned way.
I am excited to see if you would like to continue in this creative journey over at Be With Cassandra! I have been developing Be With Cassandra with you in mind, yes—you, so it may very well resonate.
You can choose to subscribe yourself over at Be With Cassandra or simply reply to this emailed post saying you’d like to subscribe and I will add you to the list.
Do look out for that personal email from me, too!
I don’t plan on sending any more notes through this newsletter so I look forward to connecting with you through Be With Cassandra.
Kindly,
Cassandra
