Your Inner Compass led you here.
Whose words are your reading?
I am Janel. I was born on the west coast but came of age on the east coast. I find myself moving further north. I am a trained health and wellness coach, I study relationships, an advocate for community, natural connector, designer, and guide. I find joy in planning, hosting, & attending events, festivals, concerts, and retreats, a lover of music, podcasts, YouTube vlogs, nature, and fun drinks.
The meaning behind it all.
I got my first aura reading for my birthday January 2024 and I was told I will never feel at home because Earth is not my home. I won’t go into all the details here because if you are not into spiritual medicine, you may be confused. But it got me wondering how I will ever feel a sense of home. I left my hometown at 18 and never looked back, so I understood when artists would discuss the impact of their hometowns on them and their art. We all carry a piece of our hometown with us no matter how near or far we go. But home, how will I ever feel at home? Tyler the Creator and Solange are both my favorite artists and they happen to be friends as well. They both have albums and songs that delve into the themes of finding home and ultimately coming to terms that home is us and that we were never lost. So one day while listening to their music it clicked in me, I am home because home is me. The other beautiful thing is that this is the same for all of us. We will never truly be lost because we are home. We will never truly be alone because we are on a shared journey with each other. We can trust ourselves because we are equipped with an inner compass. No matter who you believe in (I believe in God), you are the walking embodiment of your creators design. You were created, which means you are a creator, which means wherever you are you can create the life of your dreams as well.

Postcards & Playlists
Instead of saying, in another life I’d be a music journalist and photographer, I am making it real in this life. Throughout this space you will be able to read postcards from me and guest writers. A photo without any faces, just a view that transports the readers there and makes it feel possible to be there too. Each will include a song that will be added to a community playlist. I will also include mini playlists to most of my posts. Here is the playlist that embodies the title of this publication. Join the discord.
