7mo + ready for Tulum🌴
She is rolling from tummy to back + not the other way around bc she has zero interest in being on her tummy. Zero. What she does have high interest in is, drinking water from her sippy cup like a big girl, her hands + Walli. Most of all, Walli. Who, as you can see, has as much interest in her as she does tummy time. Sorry Sellie, he’ll come around love.

I have been sweating @the_wild_unknown Animal Spirit (oracle not tarot) deck for a hot minute. I pre-ordered it + like any other lunatic, I checked the status daily knowing damn well it wasn’t coming until March 27🤷🏽♀️. So when my first pull was the Turtle, I am Not. Gonna. Lie. I was like, What. The. Actual. Fuck.
-
I just knew I would be one of the large black birds, or the Elephant, or the Tiger, or some lethal shit, like the Cobra ya know, but... nope. The Turtle. So, I read up (reluctantly + with a serious ass side-eye) on the Turtle <swipe>. And, that is how the cards work. How magick works. How the universe works. It doesn’t tell you/show you/give you what you want or want to know, but it tells you/shows you/gives you what it needs you to know. And, I am the Turtle. I am connected to water + to the earth, I collect stories bc that’s how I make sense out of this crazy world, I retreat in my shell a lot bc this world is usually too much for me + if you see me in the middle of the road + somehow turn me around, my ass is going right back to the direction I was headed bc I’M ALWAYS GONNA DO ME!
-
And, I could tell you so many stories (hello, Turtle trait... see how that works;) about why the Turtle is actually significant in my life, like how my first real pet was a red-eared slider named Spike + I had her all through college. She had a huge split level tank in my small ass dorm room + I legit took her home on all breaks. She was spoiled AF. And when I graduated college, I gave her to a wildlife biologist who had a bunch of random non-fluffy pets + I think of her all the time. But instead, I will tell you that on some days, I may be a large, lethal, stealthy, bad ass black bird, but at my core, I am the Turtle. And I pulled this card bc I obviously needed to be reminded of who I am, + why I am here. I have been disconnected lately, on auto pilot, surviving, not thriving. I have been in my shell.
-
This card is a reminder that its ok to retreat, to process, to heal... but whenever we are ready, rejoin the world. Bc no matter how small we are or feel, we are important, and our ecosystems actually need us + our gifts, to survive.
Hi🙃 Now that I’ve got your attention with this ridiculously cute picture of my daughter, I wanted to tell you in case you don’t watch my stories (why don’t you watch my stories🤷🏽♀️), that I’ve added hashtags to my profile to make it easier for you to cruise through my journeys.
