To Infinity...And Beyond! One more birthday for me.

Keep scrolling for an exciting announcement!

Today is a big day for me, my 34th solar return on my journey from Child to Crone.

The early 90s

The first Thursday of May 1990 — I was born in Ada, Oklahoma at the Chickasaw tribal hospital. My grandma tells me it was a beautiful spring day, and that it was the kind of day that feels blessed by God. Sunny with a high of 75, peonies blooming, the trees have filled in, and here I come!

I believe that when we are born affects our personalities in a way that is so nuanced, we struggle to apply meaning to the fact, but we intrinsically understand the narrative. For example, my aunt, long time bestie and my husband all have birthdays near Thanksgiving, and to me they are… turkeys! And I— a spring chicken.

April & May babies come at the beginning of the astrological year and our agricultural year. There is a lot of source energy starting with Aries, and in Taurus it’s like we take a little break for tea in the garden before charioting into summer. The cliches about my zodiac sun sign, Taurus, show us loving plants, snacking, managing an aesthetic and in the off-season- dedicated to a cozy bed. Say what you will about the stars, but it makes perfect sense to me that a child born in early May would be optimistic, steadfast, and bursting with creative energy, like a bloom from a bud. (!)

Babies are born with no understanding of their ego, or perceived selves, but over the course of childhood they collect clues to who they are through their belongings, family and experiences. Eckhart Tolle says that after creating this ego, we then have to shed it on the path to enlightenment. One of the big clues for me, of who I am, is that I am a spring baby. No matter what is happening in my life, on my birthday, outside of one F5 status exception, I can usually expect perfect weather. We know summer break is close, have been enjoying the first few weeks of flower season, and I could usually wear shorts to school. Do you remember that early morning run to the bus when you weren’t bogged down by a coat or rain jacket? That feeling is ingrained in the mythology of Britta Newton-Tarron, blessed by God (according to GMA) and all of the above.

From last year, my 33rd birthday.

A favorite comedian-podcaster of mine shared his musings on each month, and I laughed when I came across May.

Dreams are just a few steps away to those born in May.

I have been daydreaming as a hobby for 30 years, and professionally for 12. The creative process, just like any garden, begins with the planning and prepwork.

If you are reading this, and feel like you could use some help mapping out your plot, I would love to invite you to our first group activity as Orbitters, a new series I am calling Infinity Sessions.

Infinity Sessions will be a group chat on the 3rd Thursday of each month, at 3:00 pm. We will be taking an hour or so to plan for the month ahead for our marketing and other brand celebrations. We will also be using this time to institute self-care for the self-employed.

Why infinity? ♾️

Since 2019, I have organized my marketing calendars by the seasonal cycles we go through each year. Getting in tune to these natural rhythms has been a study of intuition and nuance and ignoring “big retails” holiday calendar. No matter the way you label your cycle, or if you say q4 instead of winter, the movement through these orbits are never ending. If we can keep this in mind, and think of the long term offer ecosystems, the stability of not only the business, but the business owner will flourish.

On May 16th, at 3:00 pm I am hosting space for us to plan our ideal week. This is a practice I come back to every so often, and I am so excited to host you and encourage you to build your business to support your dream life.

What is the ‘ideal week’?

The Ideal Week is a template for you to craft your schedule around. Starting with the essentials, and adding time blocks or daily focuses will allow you to be more intentional about your week.

Who would benefit from this practice?

Anyone who feels like they are spending their time reacting to the highest stressors and not getting done what is aligned with their goals.

As always, thank you for reading.

Join me here daydreamers

Love, Britta
