The Energy of Gratitude
I'm writing this newsletter in October, but you would never know Halloween hasn't even happened yet if you stepped inside a Costco, Walmart, or Home Depot.
Yesterday, I wandered through Walmart looking for stadium chairs for a rodeo we were attending. Apparently, my back has decided that bleacher seats are no longer acceptable.
Remembering Our Magic…..An invitation to rediscover the wonder hiding in plain sight.
October conjures up warmth, comfort, spookiness, and magic.
I've always lived in a place where the leaves change color, cozy sweaters make their annual appearance, and the urge to bake an apple crisp or simmer a pot of soup comes on strong. The light of early fall softens everything, wrapping the world in a gentleness we will surely miss come November and December.
Pausing To Find Our Footing
This year feels like it is on speed, roaring forward at times at warp speed. The Year of the Fire Horse is proving to be no joke.
Yet, are we finding time to pause? To be present? To feel our own energy? Or are we simply absorbing the energy of others and the world around us?
At times, I’m sure it all blurs together, leaving us to wonder: What is theirs, and what is mine?
July
Currently, Tennessee is overflowing with tart berries, juicy peaches, and peaches-and-cream corn. Fireflies flicker in the dusk, late sunsets bleed deep orange across the sky, and the feeling of warm pavement beneath bare feet at 11 p.m. spreads an instant smile across my face. I am a summer lover. My heart is so full this time of year from the abundance that surrounds me.
Finding a Gentler Way
Leaving behind everything we have outgrown.
It’s becoming more difficult each day to live energetically the way we once did. Tried-and-true ways of dealing with life and its challenges are no longer working the way they used to.
The blinders are coming off. Many people are witnessing the abuse of power playing out on political stages across the world. Very little of what is happening seems to truly support or help the average person.
We are exhausted, and many have become desensitized because it’s brutally hard to hold the weight of it all. The old ways taught us to shoulder our burdens endlessly, carrying the heaviness of life everywhere we went, but that is no longer sustainable.
Returning To The Energy Of Your Body
May arrives with a quiet shift in energy. The world feels more awake—trees in bloom, longer light-filled evenings, a sense of movement and renewal all around us. It’s a natural time to reflect not just on what we’re doing, but on how we’re feeling as we move through our days.
To live a life in rhythm…
To live a life in rhythm.
This is what I long for. What I desire.
A life in step with nature, with animals, with creation itself.
Some days, I can feel it—the quiet hum beneath everything.
I light a candle. I burn incense. I turn my awareness to the land, to the mountains just beyond my window. And in those moments, something within me softens. My body feels lighter. The tension dissolves, as if it was never truly mine to hold.
March - The Awakening
Until I began working with energy I would say March was my least favorite calendar month. Generally, there are no major holidays to celebrate, in many places the trees are barren, the grass brown, and there is a layer of dullness that feels like it has overextended its stay. Not quite Spring, but not quite Winter. March is truly the in between, the threshold.
Instagram Scrolling - Comparison or Inspiration?
On a recent five-day trip to Colorado, I found myself scrolling social media far more than I typically do. Sitting in airports, snowed in and sub-zero temperatures are what I’m blaming my constant scrolling on. Sure, a book would have been a better option, but I chose to scroll because it was an easy, mindless distraction. What happened over 5 days of excessive scrolling, was I began to slip backwards. Not all at once, but it was a gradual recognition of old behaviors emerging.
I’m Tip Toeing Into January
This year for the first time I’m approaching the new year differently. In the past I have diligently written done a list of new year’s resolutions, as well as created beautiful vision boards. They have all had a meaningful place and a purpose, but this year I’m stepping into January slowly and gently, and to tell you the truth it feels so RIGHT.
Winding Down
Dear December I feel like it was just yesterday you were here, yet so much has transpired since your last visit. What a year we have had, but here we are still showing up and living life.
Into the Stillness
November brings a shortening of daylight, a carpet of crisp leaves and bare tree limbs in the Northern Hemisphere. It’s a time for many to begin to turn inward as we move towards the Winter Solstice. Yet, at the same time society is amping up the volume in November and December to get shopping, spending, consuming, mixing and mingling. It’s all a bit counterintuitive.
The Hidden Song of Food: Energetic Vibration in Supermarkets and Restaurants
Food is not only sustenance. It is story. It is memory. It is vibration. Every apple, every loaf of bread, every steaming bowl set before us hums with an invisible song—the song of where it has been and how it has been touched along its way to our plate.
Into September We Go…
I’m a summer lover—through and through. Long days, warm earth beneath my feet, sunshine on my face, even the humidity makes me smile. Summer awakens something in me: mind, body, and spirit. I always feel a little tug of sadness as it begins to fade.
A Homes Vibration Matters
Every room of a home carries a unique vibration, the land where the home sits will carry a vibration as does the occupants, furnishings, pets and even the town or city where the home resides. All of this affects us on a very real level. It can affect us physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally.
Flowing and growing with energy….
For the last 4 years I have learned to let energy guide me. It’s been, and I believe will be for a while a continuous push and pull between trusting an invisible force field, versus my very practical brain.
A spiritual life, is not a perfect life…
I believe I am finally wrapping my head around the concept that I don’t have to show up in the world perfect. Over the last 20 years I have relaxed, and released so many iterations of myself. With each version released, the load was indeed lighter, but yet that lingering guilt remained hidden beneath the skin.
Blooming Inward
Yes, I’m well aware that typically in May everything is erupting and blooming up and outward, yet as the world gets louder and louder, I feel the more we need to go inward, so that we can fully bloom into the divine self we are.
April Energy Forecast
Below is the forecast that was channeled through me this morning.
Porous and moldable like clay upon a pottery wheel. April begins to shape and mold a new way of viewing the world around you. Widening the lens, and seeing more options is what April will ask of you. Sliding doors give way to expanded views and beliefs. No more playing small, minding your business and flying under the radar. April asks you to step in, and get your hands dirty with the clay upon the wheel. Reddish brown clay combining the red and heat of fire, with the coolness of the clay itself. Tempering you as you move between these new awareness’s and existences. Go easy with yourself, and others as this new terrain is an energetic advancement and upgrade requiring integration amongst the self.
Murky March Energy
“March is murky, intense and riddled with confusion. Look right, look left, look up and look down, yet do you even know where you are? If feels like Alice in Wonderland and Darth Vader went on a date. Visions of hope, succumb to visions of doom, and yet we must preserve. Wild weather (can be interpreted many ways) spins you around, and drops your feet upon the ground. Do your best to find your place, and know in the end we will send grace.”
