A belated Valentine 💌

Beloved Audriana,

Welcome to your Wednesday Love Note, where I offer tips + inspo to help you cultivate and protect your peace, both personally and professionally—even with a busy-ass schedule.

First, here’s what's happening in the BGV ecosystem this week:

🌟 New Substack article: Pedestal is a verb. Check it out, subscribe, and if you enjoy the article, please share it!

🌟 My new course is aimed to help you cultivate and protect your PEACE OF MIND… always a relevant topic, and perhaps now more than ever. Coming very soon!

Onto today’s inspo.

Welcome to your monthly edition of The Goods, where I share resources, ideas and practices that raise the quality of our lives.

Last Friday was V-Day, and this month is Black History Month… and while every day is worthy of a) loving each other more b) honoring our black-bodied relatives, this collection includes nods to both.

Enjoy!


[article] A Love Letter to the Love Letter
My mom sent me this delightful Substack article. And because it’s never too late, or the wrong time, to write a love letter! I was inspired to make a collection of heart-shaped haikus for Ben, so I'm grateful for this little nudge. And don't forget that you can write love letters to friends and family, too ;)


[video] The dance number that inspired the moon walk?
Ben sent me this video. He heard about it in an interview with Smokey Robinson, who speculated that Michael Jackson saw this performance as a child and was inspired. Who wouldn’t be? That is some serious endurance! 🤯 


[financial toolkit] Love your money… really
Plenty of people claim to love money, but in truth, their “love” is conditional… Sort of like saying I love children… when they’re cleaned up, dressed nicely and well-behaved. If we truly embodied love for the energetic exchange encompassed by our finances, we would put it into holistic action. Last year, I created a financial toolkit called Sacred Money Mastery—a pragmatic and energetic approach to becoming a wholehearted steward of your money. And since tax season is coming, what better time to commit to greater prosperity, profits and peace of mind? Purchase the course here and begin a friendly love affair with your finances today.


[music] A sexy playlist
Sparks. For sultry vibes. 


[video] “Protest” at Super Bowl
Of all the fuckery happening in the White House, the threat to invade Palestine and turn its population into refugees and it’s real estate into a tourist attraction is the one I’m *really* struggling to stay calm about right now. Which is why the protester at the Super Bowl really made my heart sing. Honestly, can you even call that a protest? I’d simply call it someone with a stage showing their humanity.

In praise of your big heart, and of the one collective heartbeat,
