THANKYOU

A Year of Reflection and Transformation

What an amazingly challenging year we've all had. Whether you lived abroad or in America, life seems to have been drastically changed from what we were used to before Covid.

It's amazing, though, that we all sit back after all that and go to bed at night, laying there wondering to ourselves how things will be different tomorrow. We all sit with our personal feelings and the grief that we carry from our friends and family in the state of the world. Every day, we all pick up different burdens and laugh at different jokes to move along the pain that we do feel deep within. But at the same time, we experience the magnificence in the transformation of today at the present moment. Some of us lend a hand and help, while others take. In this dimension, we all share charges with darkness and light. We call it a new year so that we construct labels and understandings for what's happening in and around us. However, when we look into ourselves, we know that all there is, is the present in the memories we hold with it.

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank everybody for 2023—a complex year we all experienced. I want everyone to understand that Late Sunday Afternoon is a brand that functions within the culture. Within this brand is an inner-outer explorer club. It is for those with the stomach to look deep within and ask ourselves, "How am I lying to myself?"

When we start to look at the reality that we hide from ourselves every day, we begin to heal ancestral trauma as well as our own. By doing this, we start to create a loving healing vibration within our bodies. Bodies that will expire one day, but our souls will keep evolving. So, take the newsletter for what it is—a mirror—a mirror to show you exactly the reality you're creating. Allow yourself to love, share, and step into a deeper place within. By doing so, you're bringing peace to the world.
