Life comes in cycles

03.11.2026

Far be it from me to quote the Bible, but sometimes it simply has the right words...

Because to everything there is a season. Everything has a purpose, even if we don't see it.

Sometimes seeing it changes everything.

A few days ago when I shared about living with moon phases, I got so many questions, comments, messages and emails asking about the season that women are in and how to work with it...

So today's post is for YOU!

Moon Phases + Menstrual Cycles

When I first began learning about menstrual cycles and hormones, my reaction was not wonder or fascination. My reaction was anger.

Playlist: fragile like a bomb

Some days call for love and light... others call for feminine rage. All the chaos of the world kinda has me raging right now, so let's tap into it, sing with Alanis and the top of our lungs and release some of that energy so we can channel it for good, shall we?

Hope your week is full of magical moments and lots of signs of spring...

Love you.
Mean it.
Big time.
xoxo,

The Art of Making Life Magical(the newsletter) Reclaiming our time... 03.08.2026 Have you ever heard of Cultural Reproduction? It's a sociological concept that explains how culture is passed down not primarily through governments or laws, but through daily practices inside families and communities. I believe this is how the matriarchy will take shape. Not because men finally decide to hand over the keys to the Barbie Dreamhouse... but instead we simply build a new system from within while...

The Art of Making Life Magical(the newsletter) Spring is in the air.... 03.04.2026 Looking out my window, I see the forsythia and buttercups blooming. Signs that spring is truly here. The days are getting warmer and longer and my soul feels like it's coming back to life a bit. I've been puttering in the garden since I got home from a weekend away - and OH how I missed it! I forgot just how grounding it is. But also, gardening is about hope. We plant seeds, tend to them and wait for them to...
