I was going to post a reminder about ReWild this Friday night, but instead I want to rave about this little plant being.
Last night, during my trail assessment for the hike, I spent a few minutes watching this plant sway in the wind.
It had a presence that drew me in.
The bees were all over it.
The wind moved through it in a magical way.
So I stayed a little longer.
Then an indigo bunting began singing from a nearby branch. (Sound on if you want to hear it!) 🤩
I smiled.
There’s a kind of magic that happens when you’re out in the natural world.
Things just seem to appear when you need them.

Lemon beebalm has a surprisingly beautiful reputation. A few things that stood out to me:
• Opening the heart to deeper connection
• Restoring emotional clarity and joy
• Grounding an overstimulated nervous system
• Releasing tension and creating space to breathe
• Awakening presence and vitality
When I learned that, I had one of those “wait…what?” moments.
Not because it explained the experience. Because it seemed to mirror it.
It was one of those truly beautiful moments I could say I didn’t know I needed.
But honestly? I absolutely knew I needed it.
This is part of the spirit behind ReWild.
Showing up.
Awakening your senses.
Creating space for curiosity, connection, and a little magic to happen.
