Exploring Hope & Mischief This April

Don't try to do it all! Pick one topic and build upon what you learned together each year.

Hi friends!

Religions across the world recognize springtime as an invitation for fresh beginnings and hope. To create new opportunities, we have to acknowledge the struggle and hardship we’ve overcome.

I’m still learning the many ways people observe the transition of winter to spring - and the hope that comes with it.

What are you learning about?

No one expects you to dedicate your life 24/7 to doing ALL OF THESE in a single month. But maybe pick a topic and run with it.

Coming up next

I’ll be hosting our annual Busy Parents Guide To Getting Sh*t Done in the Luminary Braintrust this April.

Throughout spring, we’re also hosting twice-weekly live hangouts on Tuesdays at 1pm Eastern. Together we’re navigating parenting challenges and how to balance these responsibilities with community care and activism intiatives.

You should join us - I build our resources and experiments around you, and your membership supports my labor and expenses creating the free toolkits and action guides you find here.

With you,

Ashia

PS: Due to an accountability policy I created years ago when I was young and foolish, I have to disclose my financials every year after I file taxes in our newsletters and social media channels. Back then, I thought surely *more* people would support my work as our community grew. I didn’t want to become evil as I started to make a living wage. HAHAHA Nope! Instead it’s just the most soul-crushing part of running Raising Luminaries. Regardless, here you go, my financial ins & outs for 2023. Please do not read it, it’s humiliating.

PPS: But for the amazing 21 folks who support my work here on Substack, I made you a present!
