Dear Sojourner,

February is here, and with it, my birthday! But more relevant to you, Soulful Sojourners' Second anniversary!!

As we step into the second year of SOULFUL SOJOURNERS, I am deeply honored to continue this journey of growth, transformation, and purpose with you. This month, I invite you to join me in celebrating not only these personal milestones but also the spirit of renewal and possibility that marks the start of a new chapter.

With profound gratitude,

From Support to Soulful Empowerment: A Personal Journey

Throughout my two-decade career in behavioral health, I have discovered the transformative power of genuine support. Whether working with staff, students, clients, or colleagues, I have always found profound meaning in helping others nurture their dreams and navigate their unique life paths.

In 2013, I envisioned Soulful Sojourners as a collaborative platform—a blog where diverse voices could share inspiration globally. In 2014, my dear friend and artist, Ely Lugo, created the beautiful logo you see here and on all Soulful Sojourners-related products. Despite these initial efforts, my professional commitments temporarily set aside this dream.

A pivotal moment came during my recovery from foot surgeries in late 2022 and early 2023. The challenging recovery became an unexpected gift of introspection. During a meditation in mid-January 2023, I heard the words "Soulful Sojourners, LLC" three times and immediately understood the calling.

On February 7, 2023—the day after my 60th birthday—I officially registered the company, transforming years of supportive coaching and mentoring into a deliberate purpose. Today, Soulful Sojourners is a place where I not only provide individual coaching but also a platform for women over 50 to express their gifts through my mastermind group. Women worldwide provide those diverse voices I envisioned so many moons ago. How cool is that?

Two Years of Growth and Impact

Celebrating two years of growth, Soulful Sojourners is launching two pioneering initiatives that embody our mission:

1. ​Spirited Entrepreneurs Empowerment Network (S.E.E.N.): A mastermind alliance designed to support women entrepreneurs at every business stage. Our first member-led webinar series is scheduled for 2025.
2. ​Living Imprints: A 52-question self-paced coaching program launched on February 3rd. It enables individuals to explore intentional legacy creation while removing barriers to access. This program is priced low to ensure everyone can join.

These ventures represent more than business offerings—they are a commitment to fostering growth, connection, and empowerment.

Growth Mindset Tip

Self-Care in Chaotic Times: Three Essential Strategies

Self-care is not selfish—it is how you sustain your capacity to show up fully for yourself and others.

• Boundary Breathing: Create intentional pauses between external demands and your personal space. This might mean a 10-minute meditation, silencing notifications during focused work, or establishing a "no-work zone" in your home.
• Micro-Renewal Rituals: Design small, restorative practices that take less than 5 minutes. A mindfully prepared herbal tea, three deep breaths before starting your computer, or a brief stretching sequence can recalibrate your nervous system.
• Compassionate Self-Dialogue: Monitor your inner narrative. Replace self-criticism with supportive, realistic language. Instead of "I'm failing," try "I'm navigating a challenging moment, and I'm doing my best."
