Both of my kids were very planned, but not to the degree in which we intentionally birthed them on the same day, 3 years apart!
When I became pregnant with my daughter, we thought it was interesting that I once again became pregnant in June. I guess my body just likes that time of year to conceive. Then we found out that their due date was the same, which was WILD, but surely.... they would not be born on the same day. Our son was a week late! Second babies usually come earlier!
Lo and behold, 5:30am on his 3rd birthday, I awake to a contraction. We open gifts while I'm timing contractions. We bake his cake while timing contractions. We sing Happy Birthday right before we walk out the door to head to the birth center, while I'm breathing through now very intense contractions.
9:01pm she was born. Truly, everything about my children has felt meant to be.

but couldn't fall asleep last night and was a bit cross so i watched a compilation of holly's best moments from dance moms to cheer me up and realised that i did in fact share a birthday with this diva...
i aspire to be as witty, confident, fierce, and overeducated as her one day... happy MOTHER'S DAY TO US AND BIRTHDAY TO US WHEN THE TIME COMES QUEEN 💜

I know two other people who share my birthday (one with my exact birth year and same hospital!!!) and they are both beautiful and talented but very stressed out gay men. My people.

In Tarot, The Fool is the first card in the Major Arcana, which represents the life cycle. These cycles we are continuously going through in our lives, not just once. The final card of the Major Arcana is The World (which I have tattooed very large on my thigh), which signifies the completion of a cycle and natural ascension into the next. We are then thrust back into the Fool, with a bit more wisdom.
The Fool as an archetype is one of joy, curiosity, spontaneity, and trust. The Fool is pure of heart, knowing that the Universe has got their back. This innate trust allows The Fool to be playful, to take risks, and truly believe everything will work out. The more we go through life and experience loss, grief, heartache, trauma, the harder it becomes to embrace this energy. I’ve found that as healing goes on, just as it’s shown in tarot, we return to this natural state of being. We start off as The Fool when we are wee little babies, and if we are lucky can return there a few cycles at a time, with more wisdom gained each time.
The goal of The Fool is to have positive experiences, maybe for fun, maybe to grow. There is an acceptance with The Fool, a kind of “this is what is, how can I make this work well for me?” Everything works out for The Fool because they don’t know it can’t. Anything we go through in life, we can use to grow. I personally believe we all could benefit embracing the archetypal energy of The Fool a bit more. The Fool doesn’t stop to worry what other people will think! The Fool does not fret about what if’s! The Fool is in the moment!

Humans have always danced. It is part of who we are, yet we have been conditioned to be self conscious, to think that we do not move our bodies good enough. Dancing is beyond judgement. Dancing is not a skill, it is our soul moving through our bodies, expressed in movement. Dancing is healing. Dancing is bodily autonomy. Dancing is FUN! Any feeling you are feeling can be moved through with dance yet even alone, you fear looking foolish. Kill the judge in your mind, shut the fuck up, and MOVE 🌊
