I am so blessed to go to the beach with you both physically and spiritually, and I think SoCal blessed us with that nap raft of sea lions!

I think so too! One of the highlights of the trip for sure, but not THE highlight. That honor goes to a particularly amazing performance that I will never forget. And I am the one who is blessed. I think all the time about how incredibly fortunate I am for you and Mom. I am who I am because of you. ❤️🤗❤️

Oceanside you say? That's rather close to where I am. Maybe next time you're out this way we could arrange to meet and replace some of those bad experiences with some good ones! 😎

Oh I would LOVE that Victoria! 🤗 I will let you know next time I'm heading that way.

Dearest Jenna, I am late to reading this post and the timing is perfect. In a couple of weeks I will be making a very similar twelve hour journey to my homeland. I do not feel connected to that land but we will be burying my parents ashes so I want to be very centered. I deeply appreciate you giving me this ritual and will do it before I go.

Blessings to you Donna as you make that journey. I'll be holding you with extra love. My hope is that your experience with your homeland blossoms into something new. ❤️🙏

This is a beautiful intention to set - that my trip allows the land of my ancestors to blossom into a new beginning for me. Thank you!!😘

Blessings on your trip Jenna, knowing that these prayers live outside of time and place. Finding you just as you need them. Whether that was days ago, now or days to come. Much love to you! And I love your ritual. Especially the part of adding the honey to sweeten it up, make it more beneficial. Makes it all come full circle.

I love this ritual Jenna, I can’t think of anywhere right know, but I’m keeping in mid for the future! I am so honoured that you take us all with you on your holidays. I will miss your wonderful guidance on Sunday, enjoy some well deserved time off. 💫🙏

Beautiful. I love your honesty and then sweetness of the ritual. I know for me it would be hard to pour my grievances into flowers or herbs because I have a lot of plant empathy. I wouldn't want to do that to them! I suppose I could try asking them to see if they were volunteers...

Hi Alicia! I so agree! Practicing consent is a big deal to me and always an ongoing process in my heart and mind, especially around food.

What a beautiful ritual, Jenna! So cleansing and releasing. I’ll have to try it - a few places of my own popped up in my mind as I read about your precious difficult connection with So Cal. I so hope that you and your family have had a beautiful and peaceful visit, and that your week is filled with magic and calm.

As for your Substack travel altar. This touched me more deeply than I know how to express. The connection you are creating to all of us and to each other is truly a gift. I feel honored and humbled and inspired. Much love to you. 💫

I’m here in SoCal. Was in Orange County craziness and now in the Joshua tree area. No regrets to leaving that chaos. I still visit, have friends and family there. But after a few days I crave the quiet desert.

I love knowing that you're so close while I'm here! So far there has been a huge shift in how I'm relating with So Cal. But, like you, I couldn't maintain a sense of peace here for very long. No matter how well we relate, there's just too much human activity for my physical nervous system.

Nothing special for me. It is blessing to know that ‘I’ am there helping others to holding space for you.

❤️❤️❤️ YES! I LOVE this, Rene!

You are such a Dear One. I know your time in Cali will be spectacular! and you will find renewed memories that you may have forgotten. Please send my regards to Water. We have had such a tumultuous relationship over many lifetimes. I wish it will forgive me for the misery I have given it. But my main wish is for you to resolve your traumas there.

Oh, Melissa, thank you so much! Things feel SO much different here this time. And it's so interesting that you mention renewed memories. That's exactly what's happening. So many memories of really fun times here have been surfacing.

I will absolutely send your regards and ask for forgiveness to Water. I'm truly honored to be the vessel for this! Blessings to you, friend! 💖

I trust that by the time we read this, you and Ms Cali will be celebrating a new and wonderful relationship. Thank you for including us, as always, and for your blessings too. As an East Coast girl, I’m excited for my first “visit” to a West Coast beach! Many blessings for you and your family ❤️
