This morning, as I reflect on yesterday, my heart is just so full. ❤️
Amongst the smoke and ash that surrounded us yesterday, there was still something so beautiful happening inside The Stepping Stone by Simply You Holistic Wellness.
Yesterday was Erica from Red Witch Studios' first pop-up with us, and what a gift she is. She welcomes everyone with kindness, and her heart shines through in everything she does.
What stood out to me most wasn't just the readings it was our community.
Even with the poor air quality, people still came out to support local. Some stopped in simply to take a breath of cleaner air, while others wandered in curious to see what we were all about.
Moments like yesterday remind me why I followed my heart.
When I took over The Stepping Stone, I knew in my soul what I wanted this space to become—a place where our community could come together to learn, heal, connect, ask questions, and feel welcome.
One of my favourite moments was watching two young boys excitedly explore the crystals. Their dad admitted he didn't know much about them, but he was curious because his boys were so fascinated. After Erica and I shared what we knew, he smiled and said, "Boys, we're taking these home and looking them all up together."
That moment filled my heart.
I'm also excited to share that Erica's handcrafted herbal remedies and wellness products will soon be available here at The Stepping Stone.
Thank you to everyone who came by yesterday, supported local, shared a conversation, or simply stepped inside.
This little community we're building means more to me than words can say.
Wishing you all a beautiful Thursday, and thank you for being part of this journey. Hope to see you soon 🌿💚
