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...

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.

I don't know about you... but I've never lived through the apparent downfall of a government. But, man, that sure feels like what we're going through. A failure of epic proportions. And unfortunately, whether we like it or not, it's going to affect all of us. For decades now, the world has been operating as a global economy. Because we're stronger when we all work together. But the hostile takeover has brought all that to a screeching halt inside the US borders. So what're we gonna do about...

The Art of Making Life Magical A spark of hope and softness 05.04.2025 Last summer, we had the rare emotional space to sit in a theater and feel.We laughed. We cried.

It handed us a little pink mirror and whispered: “You’ve been living in a story someone else wrote. You can choose a new one now.” And I haven’t stopped thinking about it since. This week, I’m sharing a new post I...

I’ve been getting so many messages lately asking: “Is now the time to stock up again?” “What should I focus on first?” “Are the shelves about to go empty?” So let me say this clearly:This is not panic. It’s protection.A soft kind of spell, for your peace of mind. I just shared a new post on the blog all about the non-food side of preparation... the everyday essentials that quietly hold your life together (until they’re suddenly gone). It’s not a list of things to hoard.It’s a calm little...
