For We Have Been Given Everything. You know how sometimes you don’t really understand something until you live it? That’s how giving has been for me. I used to think giving was mostly about what you hand over, money, gifts, time, and effort, and that's the end. And yes, those things matter. But the older I get, the more I realize that giving is really about recognizing what you’ve already received, and how. Then when you see those things they way you give and receive will ch

Sometimes healing doesn’t need another book, plan, or rule to follow. Sometimes it just needs you, present, curious, and willing to listen. This guide isn’t about doing everything “right.” It’s about gently reconnecting with your body, your breath, and the rhythms that help you feel steady again. Think of it as a collection of simple practices you can return to whenever life feels a little off. Take what resonates. Leave the rest. 1. Start With the Body Before the mind can se

Healing through the holidays and milestones The holidays and big milestones have a way of bringing everything to the surface. Even the things we thought we were handling okay. You can be doing just fine most days… and then suddenly a birthday, a holiday, or an anniversary shows up, and the absence feels louder than usual. The chair that’s empty. The text that won’t come. The person who you feel should be here, but isn’t. If this season feels heavier for you, I want you to k

Simple, cozy ways to make your home smell like Christmas...naturally. There’s something about the holiday season that just begs for warmth, the kind you can feel before you even sit down. Twinkle lights, soft blankets, slow mornings… and honestly, one of my favorite ways to bring that festive feeling into my home is through essential oils. They’re such a gentle, natural way to create holiday magic without heavy artificial scents or overpowering sprays. And the best part? You

Because life doesn’t have to be big or complicated to feel good again. I think sometimes we forget that joy doesn’t always come from the big moments. It’s not just vacations or achievements or perfectly planned days. Most of the time, joy sneaks in quietly, through tiny choices, tiny pauses, tiny rituals. And honestly? Those little things add up more than we realize. So if you’ve been feeling a little stretched thin, a little disconnected, or just craving something that fee

Because you deserve a season that feels nourishing, not overwhelming. The holidays are such a strange mix of magic and pressure, aren’t they? On one hand, we crave the twinkle lights, the quiet moments, the nostalgic coziness. And on the other, we feel the weight of expectations, to show up everywhere, say yes to everything, bake the things, buy the things, create memories, keep traditions alive, and somehow stay joyful through it all. If you’ve ever found yourself caught bet

Let’s talk about boundaries, not the rigid walls we build to keep people out, but the gentle fences that protect our peace, energy, and time. For so long, I thought setting boundaries meant I was being difficult. That saying no would make me seem cold or selfish. I used to stretch myself thin to keep everyone else comfortable, always showing up, always saying yes, even when my body was whispering, please slow down. But there’s something no one really tells you, every time you

Let’s talk about choosing gifts that feel good, for them and the planet. You know how some people just exhale  when they’re around nature? The ones who find peace in simple things, a walk outside, a warm cup of herbal tea, a well-loved book, the feeling of soil on their hands. If you’re shopping for someone like that, or honestly, if you are someone like that, gift giving can feel a little overwhelming. You want something thoughtful, but you also want it to be gentle on the e

There’s something magical about a simmer pot. It’s simple. It’s natural. And it fills your home with a kind of warmth that no candle quite captures. It’s like wrapping your space in a cozy hug. During the holidays, simmer pots become one of my favorite ways to spice up the house. They’re grounding, they’re nostalgic, and they’re such an easy way to shift the energy in your home, especially on days when life feels a little chaotic. Think of this as your go-to guide for creatin

You know that feeling after you’ve hit reset, when everything’s a little quieter, and you’re not sure what comes next? At first, I thought the reset was the finish line. Like, okay, I’ve rested, I’ve cleared things out… now let’s get back to it. But once the noise faded, I realized there’s this strange space that comes after, a pause that asks for patience. I’ve been trying to just be in it. Some days it feels peaceful, like I can finally breathe again. Other days, it’s uncom

You know, I used to think rest was something you had to earn. Like you had to run yourself ragged first, check off enough boxes, keep everyone happy, make sure nothing was left undone, then  you could rest. But lately, I’ve been learning that rest isn’t a reward. It was never meant to be like that. It’s not something you schedule when everything’s finished… it’s something that keeps you steady while you live. I’ve slowed down before, or at least I said I did. You know that ki

Lately, I’ve been noticing how easy it is to get caught in “go mode.” Even on the days I tell myself I’m going to rest, my mind is already halfway through the next five things. It’s like I’ve been trained to fill every quiet moment with something, a task, a thought, a scroll, a “productive” little project. But the truth is… I don’t want to live like that. Not anymore. There’s a different kind of rhythm I’m craving, one that feels a little softer, a little slower, a little mo

In a world that moves at the speed of modern technology, alerts, to-do lists, and never ending tasks, it’s easy to forget that we are part of nature, not separate from it. The earth moves through its seasons without rushing, it goes by trusting the timing of rain, blooms, rest, and renewal. When we return to these rhythms, when we let our lives copy the steady pulse of the natural world. We begin to rediscover a sense of balance that modern life often blurs and forgets. Many

Health is often portrayed as a checklist, eat the right foods, maintain a certain weight, follow a strict routine. But the truth is, health is far more layered and in depth than any list can capture. It’s not simply the absence of disease, but the presence of vitality, balance, and connection in the many dimensions of who we are. Real wellness begins when we shift our focus from chasing perfection to tending to our physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions with curiosity
