I recently invited the Soulful Life Sanctuary Soul Guides to share their loving words here on Soul Speak. My dear friend, Shann Vander Leek, is the guide for the Loving Self-Care Sacred Space inside the sanctuary. I have known Shann for years, and she is such a loving soul who truly walks the walk in embodying self care and self love. I’m so grateful that she shares her heart in the sanctuary and also here on Soul Speak!

I would love to say that it’s because I’m not sleeping well or because I am entering my third month of spending almost all of my time on the couch while recovering from adrenal fatigue. I would love to be able to sort of blame this funk on something outside of myself.
And while I’m sure these external circumstances are contributing to it, I know that it wouldn’t be accurate to point the finger completely at them.
***Thank you to everyone who participated this month! I’ll be back with more readings on December 1st!***
Happy November! It’s that time again where I’ll pull one Soul Clarity Card for each person who leaves a comment below!
