🏔 Be your own constant in the illusion of chaos.


Feburary 2, 2026

Cheers to a new day Star,

This week I'm taking a break from the Self-Liberation Series to give you a reminder about the importance of moving and thinking mindfully during these turbulent times. There's lots of concerning headlines and the world's instability mirrors what many are experiencing in their own lives. I get it and feeeel it too! It's alot!

And remember that in the midst of chaos there is always an intention and destination for each thing that is happening so... in a way chaos is an illusion. Dr. Deepak Chopra's work has been bringing me tremendous peace. I read two passages from his book Creating Affluence daily to support my grounding. What looks like chaos is really a part of a system where the intention and destination may not be immediately clear.

It's not important to know the why behind everything and where it's going. What's more important is YOUR why and where YOU want to go. Each choice you make, whether from a place of self-sacrifice, self-centering, or self-focus, creates a new parallel reality. You can place your energy into your community and building what you desire verus staying in a loop of worry and feeding hate.

If you read the last issue about the Scale of Self and did the experiment, I'd love for you to reply to this email or note in your journal, what it felt like to move, think and behave from a self-focused perspective, from a higher level of consciousness.

If I'm connected to all things, that means what I choose to hold on to will impact all the relationships in my life. I choose unity and day by day I see more people choosing that for themselves. And where we see ourselves connected as one, with each other and nature, abundance is there. Unity supplies abundance. ✨


Enjoy the good news and I'll see you next week for Part 3 of the series we’ll take our defined focus and learn to refine our response with clear, measurable self-agreements.

A Resource for Your Practice: This short video from Deepak Chopra beautifully illustrates the core idea: "There's no such thing as chaos."

🌎 Innovation From Around the World

👗 New recycling method for textiles: A novel, non-toxic solvent makes it possible to recycle mixed-fiber textiles almost perfectly.

🧠 Breakthrough brain discovery reveals a natural way to relieve pain.


💁🏻‍♀️ US transportation department unveils first female-modeled crash test dummy.


💧Ultrasonic device dramatically speeds harvesting of water from the air: The system can be paired with any atmospheric water harvesting material to shake out drinking water in minutes instead of hours. This is great development that can hope, in time, support us in our Global Water Bankruptcy era that the UN announced.


🪙 Silver just solved a major solid-state battery problem: A nanoscale silver coating could be the breakthrough that finally makes solid-state batteries work. Solid state batteries for electric vehicles are a big deal.

Solid-state batteries store more energy, charge faster, and have a longer lifespan than today's commonly used lithium-ion batteries, 5-10 years longer. So in the near future, folks with electric cars will be able to drive just as far as someone does in a gas car.🚗 And this is really good news for people who are invested in silver!

It's a joy to connect with you here and I hope you feel the beautiful winds of change and not too much of that pollen on the wind 🤧 I'm feeling reenergized after a short break from publishing. Sometimes you have to shorten your to do list to rest, reprioritize, or renew your perspective. What we do in this world is great, but who are we choosing to be?
