After moving to my third state since becoming a U.S. citizen, I’ve learned the high cost of compromising your values. Here’s what happens when you stop—and choose alignment instead.
Hi, Wonderful Weirdling!
Since my last update, a lot has changed—both on the outside and within.
I just moved further north—this time to Washington State, my third state since becoming a U.S. citizen. I have moved to a cabin in the woods, close to my horses, surrounded by nature, serenity, and like-hearted souls.
And with this move came a powerful reminder:
✨ Living in alignment with your values changes everything.✨
My horses are now in a place where they're not just contained—they're deeply loved and respected. The people here cry when a chicken dies and save bugs from drowning. They feel life the way I do.
This shift didn't come easily. In fact, if anything could go wrong during the move, it did—often in wild, elevated forms that tested every fiber of my being. I won't go into the details because, honestly, they're not the point.
What matters is what this journey revealed.
I had been living in what, on the surface, seemed like the ideal setup—beautiful home, good facilities, decent people. But under the gloss was a subtle, daily compromise. The horses were free but not honored. The people were friendly but not connected. Every day, I had to suppress a truth that didn't fit in that environment: that I feel too much, care too deeply, and can't pretend animals are objects or that values are flexible.
Now that I've realigned with my core values, I feel the difference in my body, my thoughts, my energy. It's like being plugged back into my own soul. And it's reminded me of something powerful:
👉 We often compromise without noticing how much it costs us.
👉 And once we stop, the clarity can be staggering.
I don't have all the answers yet. I'm still watching the synchronicities unfold, still listening for what they're telling me. But I know this much: when you stop betraying your own values, the universe responds—even if it starts with resistance.
This isn't just a story about moving. It's about returning to what matters. It's about choosing alignment over convenience.
And it's a reminder that integrity isn't something you fight for once—it's something you come back to, again and again.
🕸️ What compromises are draining you without your full awareness?
🕸️ What would your life feel like if your environment mirrored your values?
This wasn't just a move across states. It was a move back to me. You don't have to move to a cabin in the woods to realign. But maybe it's time to notice where you've been settling.
This move isn’t just a change of address—it’s the physical embodiment of what LifeSpider™ and The Web of Weird have always been about: transformation through alignment.
In past issues, I’ve written about following your impulses, embracing your weirdness, and trusting the evolution that unfolds when you stop resisting your truth. This time, my own compass pointed to the woods. And as I followed it, I found not just a new home, but a more profound truth:
✨ You can’t fully evolve while stuck in environments that require you to shrink.
LifeSpider System™ was built on the idea that six legs move you forward—but only when none of them are tangled in compromise. Now, I’m walking freer—and more fully—than I have in years.
And as life would have it, this personal shift into deeper alignment arrived alongside a public one…
The Weird Ones Are Leading the Future—and I’m Thrilled to Be Writing About It
I’m beyond proud to be featured in the premier edition of Modern Day Alchemists magazine as a contributing writer for The Weird Ones.
Featured Writer Alert!
Modern Day Alchemists magazine is a magazine for alchemists, visionaries, world changers, and future makers. What a thrilling beginning to share a message that's close to my soul.
In the article, I explore how The Weird Ones—often misjudged as outsiders—are emerging as the future's most essential leaders.
With traits such as deep intuition, adaptability, and emotional intelligence, they thrive in complexity and transform what society once labeled as "too much" into the exact qualities needed for innovative leadership.
Here's a short excerpt:
The Weird Ones as Leaders for the Future
A New Kind of Leader Is Emerging
We are standing at a tipping point in human evolution—where the old paradigms of control, hierarchy, and conformity are beginning to collapse. What's rising in their place isn't chaos but clarity. Leading that shift are the ones who have always stood on the edges. The ones who never quite fit in. The ones who questioned everything.
The full article is live now—and it's just the beginning.
🕸️ Weird is no longer a weakness. It's a leadership strategy.
Wherever you're on your path, I hope this reminds you that your values aren’t just ideals—they’re your anchors. And when you stop bending to fit, life starts bending to meet you.
Until Next Time,
Stay Weird in your Way!
Birgitta
