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!

I live on property that has a locked gate on the driveway. Usually, I back up, 3 point turn, and put my car in park while I open the gate. But yesterday, I felt like opening the gate first for some reason. Sometimes it doesn't want to stay open, and by the time I get to the gate its halfway closed, and I have to get out anyway to swing it open again. I was walking down the driveway towards the gate, and saw this beauty on the gravel driveway. A massive moth. To me they have always reminded me of my mom. The butterflies remind me of my grandmothers, but my mom is more 'moth' energy. She was always a little 'different'. I thought it was dead. Wings covered in the dew. I reached down to scoop it up and perhaps preserve it. To my surprise, she fluttered as few inches off the ground. And landed again. I realized, oh geez, its right in the path of where I back up to drive out my gate. So I tried again. And again. And again. Each time she fluttered a few inches and landed again. And then finally, she rose, and flew a few feet away and landed in the grass. Safe from the path of my tires. And I smiled. 💗 Look at those tattered wings. You would think such a thing was past hope. But she flew. She lived another day. And I had listened to spirit to walk to the gate instead. Otherwise, I would have flattened her with my tires, and never had even known. A reminder to be open to the nudge of spirit. What messages have you received like this? Where are you open to listening to spirit guiding you towards beauty? I would love to know 💞

Over the past couple days, we’ve had some beautiful new souls join this space. Let’s give them a warm welcome 🤍 @Christine Seville @Robin Hilewitz It's really lovely to have you here! At 2 months old today, I am excited to celebrate reaching 16 humans in this little café we’re building together.🎉🎉🎉 This space exists as a soft place to land. There’s no pressure to share, perform, or “do healing the right way.” Lurking is welcome. Rest counts. Showing up exactly as you are is enough. The Café is here for nervous systems that are tired of carrying too much alone — a place to slow down, breathe, and gently reconnect with steadiness, presence, and self-trust through somatic practices and shared humanity.
