Hello and welcome to all of our newest members! @Roxie Koch💫 @Katrina Muller 💫@Cassidy Prue 💫@Emilee P 💫@Rea Lich 💫@Rev Edith Washington-Woods 💫@Dalia M. 💫 WOW!! I am so happy you are here! Over the past few weeks, quite a few people have joined us, and I wanted to take a moment to say how glad I am you're here. We are now 22 strong, and I feel like thats a cause for celebration! 🌈 (222 = Everything is always working out for you!) This community was created as a gentle space for reflection, nervous system support, healing, and connection. Whether you're exploring reparenting, learning to listen to your body, working with EFT, or simply looking for a softer way to navigate life, you are welcome here. If you joined us from one of my Insight Timer lives, you already know how we do. We slow down, tune in, pull cards, tap, breathe, reflect, and create space for what is present. I'd love to bring more of that same magic into this community in a more interactive way. I'd love to hear from you. Feel free to introduce yourself, share what brought you here, or simply say hello. There is no pressure to participate in any particular way. You're welcome to engage at your own pace. And I'm curious... If I started hosting live gatherings again here in Skool, would you come? 📚 = Yes, I'd love that 🤔 = Maybe, tell me more 🤙 = Absolutely! When do we get started? Drop your emoji in the comments below and let me know. Thank you for being here. I'm looking forward to reconnecting with this community and creating more opportunities for support, learning, and meaningful conversation together. P.S. If you're one of the brave souls who requested to join weeks ago and ended up hanging out in the waiting room longer than expected, thank you for your patience.🦋💞💗

We pulled this card during a recent Insight Timer Live, and I felt called to share the accompanying exercise with our community. As I read through it again, what stood out to me is the invitation to remember. Not to chase happiness. Not to manufacture it. But to remember the moments when it naturally found us. Tonight's full moon can be a beautiful time to reflect: ✨ What brought you genuine joy as a child? ✨ What moments from your past still make you smile when you think of them? ✨ What activities, places, people, or experiences helped you feel most alive? The exercise suggests visualizing these memories and allowing them to reveal what truly nourishes your spirit. Sometimes our happiest moments contain clues about who we really are beneath the conditioning, expectations, and responsibilities of adulthood. If you decide to try the exercise, I'd love to hear what you discover. RECOGNIZE HAPPINESS Happiness is the result of events and actions that are free of expectation. It is a magical situation that occurs when least expected, but you and your ability to live in the moment form the foundations for all the happiness in your life. What the card means This powerful phoenix is holding up a mirror to you. Know yourself and you will find the path to happiness. Be absolutely clear in your mind about what it is that makes you happy and content. However, you should also be aware that happiness can never be forced, so let go of all your expectations. They will destroy your happiness and hamper the expression of your emotions. Happiness, on the other hand, is a fulfilling emotion that is unpredictable and free-flowing; it cannot be planned and can only occur in the present moment. Where do your thoughts take you all day? Perhaps you catch yourself repeatedly dwelling in the past or worrying about the future. This is a certain way to miss out on happiness; it will leave you feeling empty, trying to fill the void with material things. Forget about the assumption that your happiness depends on possessions, but understand instead that it relies solely on your ability to live in the present.

So many of us learned to survive by disconnecting from our own needs. We became the ones who pushed through exhaustion, ignored our emotions, overrode our boundaries, and kept performing strength long after our nervous systems were begging us to slow down. Somewhere along the way, many of us learned that becoming “better” meant leaving parts of ourselves behind. But reparenting invites a different path. What if healing wasn’t about becoming harder on yourself, but gentler? What if rebuilding your life could begin with listening to the child within you who still longs to feel safe, seen, supported, and loved? The inner child who never needed perfection — only presence. The version of you who deserved comfort instead of criticism, rest instead of shame, softness instead of survival mode. Maybe real healing begins the moment you stop forcing yourself forward and start walking beside yourself instead. One compassionate choice at a time. One honest breath at a time. One moment of nervous system safety at a time. Today, ask yourself: What is one small act of kindness that would help my inner child feel loved right now? Maybe it’s resting. Maybe it’s feeding yourself nourishing food. Maybe it’s turning off the noise. Maybe it’s placing a hand on your heart and reminding yourself: “I don’t have to abandon myself to rebuild my life.” If this speaks to you, you are in the right place. What are you doing today to reach out to your inner child?

When the storm rises, become soft. Run your fingertip lightly over your arm. Slow. Present. You are safe now. 💞 Inspired by blog I wrote, posted below ⬇️ - if it resonates with you, I would love to hear your thoughts and reflections. 🌈 * * * * Yesterday I had a day that tested me. I was scheduled to represent the nonprofit I work for at an in-person wellness fair. I’ve done events like this before and generally find them to be great experiences — talking with strangers, networking with other wellness folx, sharing resources. The day was fortunately dry and sunny — a blessing, since it has been mostly rainy for weeks and we were outside. The site had provided tables, chairs, and canopies, so the effort required on my part was minimal. Still, I hadn’t slept well the night before and felt tired and sleepy as I left for the hour-long drive into town. When I arrived, I enjoyed being on the community college campus, and I was even more pleased to discover the hosts had provided coffee and donuts — exactly what I was craving. I don’t usually drink coffee. I’m very clear that it aggravates my anxiety. I allow myself to enjoy it about once a week as a treat. As I poured a cup, I felt a gentle inner nudge that maybe this wasn’t the best choice. But sugar is the universal panacea, and in a slightly uncomfortable setting, it felt like a welcome jolt. About an hour in, I could tell my body was not reacting well to the sugar-caffeine combo. I was animated and jolly, and I genuinely enjoyed the event. I caught up with familiar faces — welcome connections in a place where I haven’t made many in the two years I’ve lived here. I made new connections too, spoke about my own wellness journey and business, and shared information about the services offered by the nonprofit I was representing. I was gifted a free lunch — chili and rice — and an ice cream at the end. Overall, it was a good day. But when it ended, I was scheduled to go into the office for the rest of the afternoon.

Aloha Friends! I hope you like this short meditation I recorded after last nights Live on Insight Timer. Last one for February, can you believe its already March 2026? Let me know how this lands with you - Resourced? Too short? Too long? Im still working on a time for our community call. Its looking like next Saturday will work best for me. I had an opportunity for a sound healing training tomorrow. I can't wait to share what I learn with you!
