*Gently peeks out of hiding* Oh how I've missed you! It's been a couple of weeks since I've sent out a newsletter - but with good reason 😊 Almost two years ago when we first found this house, we knew full well that two empty nesters did not really need a 4800 sq ft house.... However, when I walked through it the first time, I had a vision: We could hold retreats here. At the time I didn't really have a sense of why or how, I just knew it would be the perfect space for it... and I was...

Yesterday, we marched.We raised our voices.We reminded the world: we will not be silent, and we will not be small. And today? Today, I’m puttering. Zhushing. Dilly dallying. Not because I’m disengaged—but because I know how to refill my own damn cup. Because I know that beauty, rest, and joy are protest, too. NEW BLOG POST:The Sacred Art of Dilly Dallying If you've been here awhile... you'll know that there is nothing on earth I love more than just puttering around my house. Room redos....

I’m realizing something big:That sadness?It’s not weakness.It’s rage that never got permission to rise.And today I wanna talk about it. Because ALL emotions are valid... but some are more effective for change than others. NEW ON THE BLOG They Taught You to Cry Instead of Scream. Let’s Change That.

I usually love summer so much that I don’t spend a single second of it in anything but pure joy.But this year hits different. I’m tired. Like… soul tired. I don’t know if it’s just me, if it’s the chaos unfolding around us, or if maybe I just need a damn vacation. Either way, it’s reminding me that balance doesn’t come from the world outside. It comes from within. And around here? That means a little rebellion, a lot of rest, and finding the kind of beautiful distractions that soothe the...

This morning I woke up and realized I have been WAY too overstimulated lately. Even though we're in this magical time of year where the birds are singing and the flowers are blooming... I am seeing signs of frazzledness. From seeing the way people act in person to the comment sections online... as the weather gets warmer, we have to be more intentional about keeping our cool - aka staying calm. It's the most important thing we can do for ourselves and each other. So today, I'm sharing these...

Every day I have one major goal:Spend 15 hours fighting fascism and 15 hours seeking joy.

Have you ever stepped back to notice just how much the economy is in the news? And how the talking heads frame it so it feels more like they're blaming society than they are the folks in power?Not from a place of care... but with this subtle pressure:That if we’re not spending, if we’re not consuming, we’re failing the system. Honestly, though? The system itself is the failure. And it's failing us. The system depends on us being exhausted, distracted, and disconnected from our own enoughness....

My real-life world feels so different from my online world right now... and I’m betting yours does, too. Some folks are pretending everything is fine. Others are frozen in fear. But here’s the truth: the madness we’re living through didn’t happen overnight. It’s been building for decades -- and now we’re watching the mask slip. If you’ve been feeling the tension between the crumbling old systems and the quiet rise of something new... this one’s for you. The Descent into the Madness & A Light...
