Healing isn’t always peaceful.
Sometimes it’s messy.
Sometimes it asks you to let go of the parts of yourself that were created just to survive.
Be patient with yourself. Every layer you release is making space for more of the real you.

As I navigate a difficult time with my Mom and her health, I’ve been reminding myself to do something I always tell others to do; pause, breathe, and reconnect with nature. It’s time I listen to my own advice.

I really need to get myself to the water this week to reset. It’s my happy place. I soon as I hear the waves, my body exhales. It’s palpable. It helps quiet my mind, even if only for a little while. It doesn’t take away the pain, uncertainty, or heartbreak, but it gives my nervous system a chance to rest.

If you’re carrying something heavy today, I hope you can find your own place to reset, even if it’s just for a few minutes.

Welcome, August. ☀️✨ My favorite month not just because it’s my birthday month…I’m a true child of the sun. Since I was a kid, all of my favorite things happened in August… I remember the Ottawa Ex, back to school shopping for new school clothes…some things still ring true since childhood like the rivers and lakes warm up, daylight lasts into nighttime, sweet corn, my vacation, I see monarchs everywhere. It’s also a month of celebrations as so many close friends and family celebrate their birthdays too.

August brings a fresh wave of energy, with some powerful planetary shifts that will bring reflection, confidence, and new beginnings. I’m excited for what’s to come. ✨

AUGUST newsletter just dropped. Read it here:

Hello everyone, I hope you’re enjoying the slower pace that summer brings. August feels like a month of integration, a time to soak up the sunshine, reconnect with yourself, and listen to what your soul has been trying to tell you. If you’ve been feeling more emotional than usual, craving quiet,...

A good reminder…

The more energy we spend trying to control what’s outside of us, the more drained we become. Protect your peace by focusing on what is in your control… your energy, your peace, and your response. The rest will work itself out.

I think I’ve officially entered my low-key era… and I’m actually loving it. I took this picture from my front window, and this view is just so peaceful to me.

Lately, I’d rather just stay home. Give me my comfy couch, a good show, a walk with Oreo, yummy food and an early night, and I’m happy.

Not so long ago I probably would’ve felt being lazy. Now? I think it’s just peace.

I’m not trying to fill every weekend, say yes to everything, or feel like I always have to be doing something.

I’m just enjoying slower days, quieter moments, and protecting my energy a little more.

Maybe this is what getting older is… or maybe it’s just finally realizing I don’t have to be busy all the time. I’m enjoying my down time and integrating all of the work I’ve done. I’m walking the walk… so they say.

Either way… this low-key era is looking pretty good.
