Love the idea of an intuitive mood board! I do these at the top of the year but seasonally is such a great idea!

Love that love is here//I'm in the midst of it realization!

I couldn't stop watching The Night Manager, a limited series from 2016 starring Tom Hiddleston as an ex-solider infiltrating a terrible rich dude's inner circle. I didn't get the T.H. hype until watching, and now I'm all in.

Listening to Anais Mitchell's Young Man in America and feeling nostalgic as I get ready for some big life shifts (new job!!)

I've only heard of The Night Manager because when I first got my pixie cut, I pinned many, many pins of Elizabeth Debicki from when she was in it. I should probably actually watch it though — I do love crushing over TH. I still think he and TS looked incredible together.

Excuse me, NEW JOB?!? Will this be discussed in the next Ten Times issue? Dying to hear more!!

Did you read the magazine interview with him after the TS relationship went down? He seems genuinely lovely, too!

I'm still figuring out how to write about the job! That fine line of sharing some reasons for leaving and not digging too deep. But it's been a whole re-think in what I want out of life/work. I'm excited! A bump in income + significantly less stress!

I very much went down a TH/TS rabbit hole at some point so I'm sure I read it — fully agree though! A very lovely human. Far more charming than most of her exes.

Ahhh, I'm so happy for you!! I'm in a similar boat of rethinking life/work but am still in the messy mystery of it all, so I'm thrilled for you that you've found that next step and it feels like such a good fit. Excited to hear more about it if it ever feels appropriate! ❤️

*Thank you for the kind shoutout. Also, for those of us who are focused on leading emotionally mature and nervous system regulated (as often as possible) lives - we use tools (aka, coping mechanisms) all throughout the day. You are not alone! It's how we create a solid and safe sense of self - go you! Also, love the colors of the spring board. Very cool to have you share about what happens for you when your in the mind vs intuition. I've had some pretty amazing things manifest from vision boarding (my own company, our house in RVA, how I work with individuals and businesses now, how I explore food, travel, etc.). Listening to Marc Scibilia's single More To This - on repeat.

Ahh, love that way of framing it. And it's so true. Go us! ❤️ I'd be so curious to see some of your vision boards someday if you ever feel comfortable sharing!
