When the Energy Starts to Shift

Hello Wanderers of the Soul,

So the past few mornings have felt different.

Not dramatically different. Not in some big, lightning-strikes-the-sky kind of way. Just… easier.

And I think a big part of that is something I’ve been intentionally practicing before I even open my eyes in the morning. Before I touch my phone, check messages, or start thinking about everything that needs to get done.

I pause.

And I think of three things I’m thankful for.

Sometimes they’re big things. Sometimes they’re simple. My dogs, the chance to build WanderWi, the fact that I woke up another day with the opportunity to keep going.

Then I immediately smile. Sometimes it’s a real smile. Sometimes it’s forced. But it doesn’t seem to matter, the energy shifts either way.

After that I say something out loud that has become a little ritual for me lately. “Universe, show me how amazing it can get. Show me you know what I desire. It is a beautiful day for miracles, blessings, and abundance.. prove it.”

And then I release any expectations.

Something interesting has been happening since I started doing that. My mornings are easier. The energy rolls into my day instead of feeling like something I have to fight through. And if I do feel tired, instead of resisting it I say something simple:

What a blessing it is to be tired from the work I asked for.

That shift alone changes everything. Because the truth is… I did ask for this. I asked for purpose, meaningful work, the opportunity to build something bigger than myself. So when I feel tired, I try to remember that it’s not exhaustion from a life I hate. It’s fatigue from a life I chose.

And then throughout the day I make a conscious choice to focus on every good thing that happens. Even the small ones. Because sometimes the universe shows off in the funniest ways. Today I was walking the dogs through a nearby neighborhood and I saw something I never expected.

A giant tortoise.

Just chilling in someone’s yard like it was the most normal thing in the world. I literally stopped and laughed. Like.. what?! It felt like one of those little reminders from the universe that life doesn’t always have to make sense to be magical.

There have also been some really exciting moments this week. I launched the WanderWi merch line two days ago.. and there have already been three sales.

Three.

That might sound small to some people, but when you’re building something from the ground up, those moments feel huge. Someone out there saw something I created and said, yes, I want that.

I also randomly checked my TikTok balance today and realized there was $50 sitting there that I didn’t even know about. Little surprises like that feel like tiny winks from the universe.

Lately I’ve been joking with myself that I’m in full nomad CEO frequency. And honestly? I’m loving it. There’s something incredibly freeing about realizing that you don’t need everything to be perfectly figured out to start building the life you want.

Right now I’m still living in a motel with my two dogs while I continue building WanderWi. But the energy feels different. It doesn’t feel like survival anymore. It feels like momentum. And that momentum is leading toward something I’m really excited about.

Because WanderWi is about to hit the road.
