Explore Mindful Care with Us - QS Bulletin


Hello Reader,

It was a lil' after midnight on Sunday, March 1, 2026, and I was basking in the joy of a very sweet 4 hour convo (you read that right) with an incredibly sweet person. I got the nudge to check my mindful resources and learned about the U.S. going to war in Iran.

At that moment my systems felt so sad and scared for a myriad of reasons. And because we are living in such unprecedented times that are not designed to do alone, I reached back out via text to that very sweet soul and named what I just learned. I then prayed and fell asleep.

Later on in the day, I listened to Meidas Touch to get a bit more updated. I sat in my blue chair, deeply listening. I heard the words “World War 3” and I was immediately taken back to all of the astrologers who in 2025 had been naming and sharing what was to come in 2026. I was filled with gratitude for deeply listening back and understanding it was an invitation to prep my body, mind, spirit and toolkit for upcoming challenging times.

That's where I find myself today, sitting with that same invitation - during such uncertain, challenging and scary times.

How can we explore and apply care in all of the ways, how can we be of service?
How can we stay connected to community?
How do we connect to source/spirit in consistent ways?
How are we navigating the reality of where we are as a collective?
How can we tend to the impact this has on ALL of us?

Naming where we are, introspecting on how to tend to our care and the care of each other, and finding ways to create, to do the things that light us up, are going to be that playlist on repeat until further notice, y’all.

~ How can we continue to release and remove what no longer serves, making space for what aligns?

RE’s: Mercury in Pisces REtrograde be REtrogradin’, y’all!
~ How can we go with the flow, make adjustments, and check before (fill in the blank) while navigating our RE's?

CARE: Let’s take a look at our whats, hows, wheres, and whys.
Take a breath and check in with your systems. Whether it’s a tablespoon, a liter, a dash - let’s be open to ways of mindfully tending to our care.
