Happy Women's Day! We know every day is women's day...and men's day...as we embrace the masculine and feminine in us. However, society at large does not recognize this and the fact that we are all equal when it comes to our essence, which is peace and love and wholeness. Life just gets in the way of seeing this.

I love the image from this organization and the message to embrace equity for all. A beautiful person giving her/themself an embrace with a huge smile of joy. I like to interpret this as accepting the light and the shadow and feeling good about it!

If you haven't hugged yourself in while, consider giving yourself that love today. If you aren't sure how to make it happen, Reach out. I'd love to connect.

My morning visitor was this beautiful Broad Winged Hawk today. It was announced by a Bluejay which is the first I’ve seen this summer…which is odd since I usually see them frequently.

It spent time checking me out, perched on the fence then exploring a pile of branches we removed from a large honeysuckle bush. It tried to catch a small bird but no luck. I’m guessing it’s a juvenile based on its coloring, trust, and exploring nature. Love it’s spiritual presence, curiosity, patience and fierce gaze. My yard was very quiet until it left. Now the cicadas and cardinals are back singing their songs.

This is why I love having a morning routine where I can start each day with peacefulness and beauty. I never know how spirit is going to show herself to me and I’m excited each day to find out. If you’d like help in finding the time for this in your life, .

How do you appreciate beauty in your life? Can we move beyond the more superficial beauty that our society says is important, to embrace the beauty of all things, people, places, and connections?

Taking moments to pause when you see a beautiful connection can be very fulfilling. A snuggle between a human and their fur baby. An embrace between family members. An joyful smile during a wedding dance. It makes my heart warm, brightens my face, and gives me a sense of being connected to all things. It reminds me that there is something divine within all of us.

I recently came across this beautiful memorial some kids in my neighborhood made for an empty birds nest. It touched my heart that these children felt so connected to those baby birds they enjoyed seeing grow. And that when they were gone the kids missed them and wanted to honor them.

I wonder if the children ever thought that maybe the birds flew the nest and are thriving?

Finding the positive in a situation can also add beauty to your life, especially when negativity keeps seeping in. Shifting our perspective by focusing on something we find beautiful brings lightness to the heart and remind us that we have the choice in where we focus our energy.

We all have the power within us to choose happiness. It’s there, we just have to seek it out. If this is something you’d like to work on, .

Many of us are grieving right now. The reasons vary…loss of life, love, privileges, human rights.

This may be a good day to engage in self care and reflect where you are in your grief process, which may look linear or nonlinear. Everyone’s grief process is unique. Determine where you are and what help you need.

Love yourself. Take some time to nurture yourself by engaging in something that uplifts you. Play with your children or your pets or whatever play feels like for you. Get out in nature or look at images of nature, connect with someone that brings joy into your heart, or maybe engage in a random act of kindness.

If you are grieving over Roe v. Wade being overturned, the other graphic from may give you some ideas of how to begin moving from bargaining to testing.

When we grieve, we need others support more than ever. So whether you’re grieving the loss of the right to safe abortions or some other tragedy in your life, find a group of people that are supportive to your experience, show gratitude to those that offer this support, and share resources that you find helpful to others who bravely and vulnerably ask you for help. To quote the Buddha, if you light a lamp for someone else, it will also brighten your path.

If you need help on this journey, Root Energy Wellness is here for you. Peace and love to myself and all of you that are grieving a recent loss.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion are important to the foundation of Root Energy Wellness. Acceptance, empathy, and compassion towards people from all walks of life are key principles for mental health work at REW.

So celebrate freedom for all today and every day. Go out into your community and connect with someone who looks different than you, who has different experiences than you. Support black and brown owned businesses as well as those owned by people who are non binary and aren’t cisgender.

Love everyone, everyone.

Instead of running from difficulty, move through it.

Difficulties, stresses, challenges, obstacles, barriers, pain, and loss are all part of the human existence and process of evolving. Most of us run, fight, or turn inward when we face these. But there is another option.

Equanimity. We can learn to have a stable and calm mental state even when facing hard times. Accepting that the situation, the feelings, the thoughts will pass can be hard to do but .

If you want to achieve a better way to move through the crashing waves of life with curiosity, stillness, and clarity, contact me. You are not in this alone.



Thank you for the meditation and inspiration.

Life is not the art of finding balance, but always balancing.

Do you strive to find that perfect balance in life just to feel that it is impossible? Maybe that’s because the perfect balance is illusive since it implies it’s something we find and keep, clinging to hold on to.

If the human collective has learned anything during the COVID 19 pandemic it’s that impermanence is the only thing that is permanent. Change is the only constant in life besides our breath and heart beat.

So why would we rationalize balance as something we will always have once it’s glimpsed? It comes and goes just like our breath, the ocean waves, the storm and the sunshine.

Practicing balancing work and play, stillness and busyness, alone time and time with your loves, exercise and rest, healthy habits and indulgences takes practice, patience, and acceptance of what is happening in this moment.

I have had to work hard on balancing lately as I have joyous reasons to celebrate life and some reasons to grieve some losses. Mindfulness, compassion, and understanding that this moment too, shall pass (so cherish it or let it go) has been helpful. Allowing myself to rest when I need it, like I did yesterday for Mothers Day, is a way to care for myself and work on balancing the energies that I need to be me.

If you would like to work on balancing your life, . Reach out and we can work on a happier, healthier you.

Thank you for the meditation and inspiration.

Ask for what you need. The universe is listening.

A few weeks ago, I was having a really tough morning. Within the first hour I had encountered only negative people in a toxic work environment and I was quite emotional.

As I drove from one building to the next where I would work with another group of people who have also been working with some toxicity, I simply asked the powers that be to let this next group be positive, calm, supportive. I needed soothing.

As I pulled into the parking lot, these beauties were present to work with some children. The lovely paint horse immediately turned her head to look at me as I got out of my car and it felt like an invitation. So I got to meet and love on two majestic creatures and I realized the universe had granted me my request. I was calmer, happier from our interaction, more assured that things would be okay.

As I entered my workspace, I could tell the vibe wasn’t fully positive, so I asked my team to please take break and go get a needed dose of dopamine by petting the horses. They did. We all needed that soothing.

When you put yourself first and ask for the help you need, it not only benefits you but also the others around you due to the positive energy that can be cultivated through self care. If this is something you’d like to work on .

Do you enjoy your own company? Or do you feel the need to be busy, distracted, and unable to sit still and be content? If you’re the latter, to understand why and how to begin to love yourself before all else.
