Is Your Life Covid and Politics?

 

 Is your life covid and politics? For some, that's what it seems, right? And we know that with both covid-19 and politics, there's a whole lot of uncertainty, misinformation, lies, confusion and fear. Very heavy in the third dimension energy. What a way to live, right?

Not. 

I believe that, especially during these turbulent times, we need to expand our world above and beyond that unpleasant and heavy 3D stuff.

We've already discussed using this opportunity to go within to discover who “self” really is. But there has to be more, right? Yes!
