Hello beautiful ,
By the way. I always struggle to start my emails, in that I cannot for the life of me just write hi {insert your name here} - it just feels VERY impersonal from me when I do feel like when I sit to write these emails, it’s like sitting across from an old friend, pouring my heart out.
I am so aware though some women struggle with being called names like beautiful or lovely, but if that’s you, I hope you lean in and receive it from me. Because when I say beautiful you, or lovely one - or whatever else. It’s like starting our conversation with a warm hug for me, exactly as it should be.
I also just wanted to throw in some random admin housekeeping. EVERY single time I send one of my emails I get multiple replies asking ‘where I have been’ on Instagram. I am always over there. Always. So if you never re found me after my de-platforming (of which there are thousands of you), then come & find me at @thereal_annarose .. you will need to put my entire username in as above & still press search, because IG still have me wickedly shadow banned (that’s a whole other story).
But let’s dive in shall we? To some big life updates.
On Monday just gone, The Awakened Woman celebrated it’s 1 month birthday. Which feels and is WILD to me, because it genuinely feels like it’s been 6 months. Not just because of the bigness of the project work load, but actually just the bigness of what we as a community have achieved and how established we feel. It genuinely feels like we have all been together in the Discord for years, like we’re all friends catching up for wine when we go in to comment or pour love or answer questions.
The purpose of this email isn’t to talk about TAW specifically though, although all my life is about that at the moment (beautifully.. powerfully). But what I WILL say about that though is ..
If you’re still super curious, or actually beyond curious and have been meaning to ‘mint’ your TAW, come and join us. For sure. We would ADORE meeting you & having your energy & self in the Discord.
To join us over there - remember you need to download the app first, then set up a basic account on the app, THEN you can click the link below & accept invite and dive on in.
COME & JOIN US IN THE DISCORD
The only other thing I will say on that project (for now), is if you are still scratching your head on what an NFT even is and why it’s so important to start to educate yourself, take some time to watch the webinar I did on NFT & Web3 basics. That recording of the zoom now sits on my website full time, so grab a cup of your favourite drink and settle in to get some education and empowerment in the space.

But now I’d love to just have my usual heart to heart and share what’s going on in the life of Anna Rose and speak to the title of this email which was - "What is the meaning of life”.
Life has felt .. big is the word I suppose, for me recently. And sure these feels come with age (I’m officially 34 and a half this month, wild) but I for sure know it has also come with the launch of this NFT project. And I can tell you exactly how and why.
Before I launched The Awakened Woman, if you have heard me talk about it at all, you’ve heard me say how the vision of it all kept me up most nights, woke me up all through the night, and still woke me up most days before dawn.
It wouldn’t leave me alone. ALL of it. From my concepts & ideas about the utility and ‘sharing profits’ with the community, to the art and what I wanted ‘her’ to look like & be a true activation, to how I envisioned the growth and divinity of the community finally having a place to come together.
But the thing is . . . It felt *too* big for me. I was happy, VERY happy with my life, my freedom, my work load and my income. I had cracked the code for myself on business, work / life balance, investing to grow a passive income and living the harmony of an online + offline life. I had launched Self-Love School just over a year earlier and in that first year, with ‘just’ 5 launches had produced $430,000 dollars in income.
I’ve talked about these numbers openly before, but talking about them now matters for you to understand when I say I was content, happy & comfortable, I mean that with every cell in my body. Self-Love School for year 2 was set to be scaled to a 7 figure business as I was ready to launch a more intimate high paying mastermind along side it - where demand and waitlists were already projected to hit that 7 figure number, for still a very very manageable input of work from me, minimal to no overheads and a LOTTTT of freedom in my schedule.
So when The Awakened Woman kept me up late, and woke me up early, and I knew how big the entire thing was going to be, believe me when I say - I DID try to ignore it. Like I said, I was happy. I was content. I was .. comfortable, and honestly? Sometimes comfortable is in fact a beautiful space to be in. But I couldn’t ignore the pull, I knew in every part of my cell the vision landed on and within me to bring it to life and so I set out with the most grit & fear I ever have had in business & did just that - brought it to life.
The story goes as you know it to have gone, and you know it, because it was and has been this space I have shared the most vulnerably the last 8 months bringing it to life.
And 4 weeks ago, we launched it. And, as I knew it would, it has been a surreal 4 weeks watching the exact vision that I KNEW this could and would be - come to life. In fact, it’s surpassed even all of my own high expectations I had.
But THIS is where the big feels come into it, MORE than I can say.
What the project has achieved, on every single level, in 4 weeks, when I have to sit and really think about it, is unfathomable. The numbers the project did the first hour let alone the first week, let alone the first month, are beyond life changing. But far far far bigger than that, I feel like I have truly never lived out my souls purpose more.
This has always been and will always be so. much. bleeping. bigger than a JPEG It’s about legacy - for you. It’s about empowering your mind, your finances & your destiny. And I do that with the art as the activation, the Awakened Woman Hub as the mind & soul empowerment & the space of Web3 as the trillion dollar industry you’re being empowered into (IF you are joining the TAW community as a holder).
But THIS is where this question that won’t leave me alone daily is coming from. The ‘what is the point of it all’.
Because here is what I am deeply learning through my current lived experience. That when your needs are all completely met & your purpose is fully being lived out - then what? And if this is the point & feeling we get to.. why can’t we all access that earlier? As in today, as in.. right now?
Because hair me out.
Here we are. Here YOU are. Reading this very email from wherever you are right now which that fact alone is a wild miracle. You had a 1 in 400 TRILLION chance of being born & you’re now 1 in 8 billion people on this planet, a planet in 100 billion galaxies (that we know of) in this universe.
It’s bleeping WILD. W. I. L. D.
And yet we spend our ENTIRE lives trying to get to *THAT* point. The point where all of our needs are met & our purpose is discovered and fulfilled.
And some people spend their ENTIRE lives pushing & striving and trying - and still feel like they never get there. Some get there and realise it wasn’t what they wanted at all and turn to drugs or death (devastatingly).
So what if we could get to the ‘point of it all’ sooner? What if we started to focus SO deeply inward and find what truly makes our soul sing and our hearts happy - now. I mean . . . today.
Because WHAT IS THE POINT OF IT ALL?
Your joy is. Your inner peace is. Finding the beauty in the small moments is. Thriving health is. Kindness is. LOVE IS. Dear. God. Love is.
I want to absolutely preface it by saying I’m never (ever) going to be the woman who says money doesn’t make you happy. Money doesn’t make you happy no, but not ever having to worry about a roof over your head, clothes on yours & your kids backs, food on your table and bills paid without stress DOES make you happy - and money is what does all of those things.
But I know that ‘enough’ is the happy maker. The ‘enough’ is that roof over your head, the food in your belly, the clothes on your back, the bills all paid without a thought. THAT is enough.
The rest? They’re numbers on and in a screen - and the numbers don’t make you happy (I promise you).
So get there. Do what you need to do to get your ‘enough’, absolutely. But this is what I personally am finding at the moment.
TODAY is the day to choose to find the joy, some inner peace and the beauty in the small moments. TODAY is the day to commit to thriving health. TODAY is the day to live with Kindness. And TODAY si the day to choose LOVE.
If I go to sleep tonight and tomorrow I don’t wake, you know what I can’t take with me to the other side when I return to infinite love (that’s where I believe we go). You know what WON’T be on my grave stone?
My numbers on a screen in Crypto. The money that I had in my bank account. The websites I created & business names I launched. The success that I had.
But you know what WILL allow me to go in peace?
That while I’m alive - knowing I lived with joy, with peace, that I found beauty in the small things, that I was kind and that I felt love, gave love & chose love.
I think that’s the point of it all. And I think anything that distracts us from that, takes us away from those things or blocks them entirely, needs to be deleted & removed from our lives.
So that’s where I’m at. That’s the big feels I am feeling every day.
That I had a 1 in 400 trillion chance of being born.
That I am now 1 in 8 billion souls on this earth trying to ‘figure life out’.
That I am that 1 in 8 billion soul on a spinning blue dot positioned in 1 galaxy out of 100 billion of them.
And that makes life SO bleeping fleeting and magnificent and significant. And the point of it all is to find the joy & love in the every day.
So whilst I build this empire out loves, and whilst I keep pushing boundaries & disrupting and doing my damn best every day - please know I’m also so acutely aware I’m just an energetic being of light (we all are) here to find the joy in the smallest of moments & love with all of my soul.
And that ultimately .. and deeply .. we are allllllll just walking each other home, (as Ram Dass says), and that is a sacred gift and a treasured thought for me now daily.
My wish for you, is that you grasp how brilliant and magnificent you are, and how untapped your joy & love is.
And that you had a 1 in 400 trillion chance of being born, that you’re 1 out of 8 billion on a planet in a galaxy of 100 billion galaxies - and that you chose to be here at THIS time .. so to not waste one second of that gift.
And I hope you know that today, just as you are, right where you are, you are loved being measure, you’re worthy beyond comprehension and you’re brilliant beyond words.
I love you.
Love Anna xox |
