Life is hard. Even when it’s good. Watching your kids suffer is tough. Wednesday was Willy’s heavenly bday. It’s been extremely difficult for his parents and especially Bryan. Please keep him in your prayers. He is really struggling right now.

Tonight I sorted through clothes and coats. Sometimes it’s hard letting go. Haven’t worn in over a year? Two years? Time to let it go, it feels so good to release…and make room for new! These went to people in early recovery. Try it!

This week i challenge you to declutter a closet and donate coats, warm clothing, or even socks to those in need. The will do 2 things: 1. Create more flow and less blocked energy in your space. 2. Open your heart a little bit by passing along things that could help someone else. And if you are really brave, consider gifting something from your loved one.

Hosted by intuitive artist and grief recovery expert Dawn Renee Bova, this podcast explores how creativity, nature, and rituals can gently transform your darkest moments into light.
