Lately, I’ve been reflecting a lot on energy—specifically, the vibrational current that underlies everything I do. How I walk through the world. Opening myself to the full spectrum of my own vulnerability and the depths of my emotions has made me more mindful of where I direct that energy. And I’ve become increasingly aware of how easily it spills out and touches others.
I think every connection is a deep exchange of energetic current, the ripples of which impact us more than we often realize. With so much change and evolution happening in my life recently, I’ve become hyper-aware of the energy I’m absorbing and giving. I find myself worrying about my own fragility and desiring to protect my peace at all costs—trying to shield myself from anything or anyone that could disrupt it and take me off my path.
But then, during a deeply meaningful conversation with a new friend (
), I was reminded of something simple, yet profound: the Universe reflects back to us who we are. It mirrors our energetic frequency. The truth is, as long as I stay grounded in my high-frequency energy, unshakeable in my peace, no one can take that from me. Those who cannot meet me at that level will simply fall away— naturally.Every morning when I wake up and several times throughout the day, I like to check in with myself and ask, “How am I feeling? What is my energy today?” Usually, the answer varies, but for the past several weeks, it has been the same: “I am light and love.” That is simply how I have felt, and it hasn’t wavered.
And now, it hit me—lately I’ve been attracting the most incredible, nourishing friendships. People who don’t just fill my cup but my plate and my bowl, too. For a while, I thought maybe it was some cosmic joke, that just as I was preparing to leave SF, the Universe brought me exactly what I had longed for: true connection and soul-filling friendship. But I now see it’s no trick: I’ve simply been attracting what I am.
It’s such a simple concept, yet it carries so much weight. We hear about energy all the time, but when it’s reflected back to us in real, tangible ways, it’s humbling. In the past, I’ve often felt that I had to chase after what I wanted—friendships, success, connections, peace—but now, I realize that it’s never been about chasing at all. It’s been about alignment.
Energy doesn’t lie. When we are true to ourselves, when we embody our authentic vibration, we naturally attract people and experiences that resonate with that frequency. And when we’re out of alignment, things feel… off. We might force connections that aren’t meant for us, feel drained by interactions that don’t serve us, or question a path that no longer excites us.
The key is to stay aligned. When we do, the right people, the right experiences, and the right energy finds us. Whatever you are seeking starts and ends within yourself. The world will try to tell you every day who you are, but as long as you remember this, nothing will have power over you.
And, as cliché as it may sound, I’ve never loved myself more than I do right now. I feel confident in the power of my own energy, in the essence of who I am. I’m less concerned about what I might lose or who might leave. I have a deep trust in myself, and I know that sometimes, I might stray from my path— but that’s okay. I’ve proven to myself over and over that, though at times I may lose myself, I always find myself again. I know the way home.
It’s not always easy. It takes daily effort to stay grounded in my light, to remember that I am worthy of the peace and connections I seek. But with each passing day, I find that the more I embrace my own energy, the more I attract the life I’ve always wanted to live. And isn’t that all any of us really want?
walk boldly,
