Stocking up on everyday essentials...

04.15.2026

This week's new moon asks you to rest and recharge... so we can tackle whatever life throws at us.

And I know that it's been a LOT lately.

But, if you're rooted and ready, then it's a lot easier to handle whatever comes your way. Prepared as protection, not panic... that's my goal.

I hope it's your goal, too. So this week I'm brining back another Rooted + Ready post, because last week's was so well received...

New on Substack:
Rooted + Ready: Everyday Essentials

This post was originally on my blog, but with everything going on, it’s time to share it again…

Tariffs are still tariffing.
Shipping lanes are slowing.
And while prices have only been rising and continuing to, those of us who are paying attention?
We’re already moving with quiet intention.

You’ve likely seen the headlines from the past year.. and especially the past month.

So let’s use the most practical kind of magic there is:
common sense protection work.

Life is beautiful, isn't it? Even on the tough days, we can find beauty if we seek it. And since this week is all about rest with tomorrow's new moon, I thought this would be a beautiful time to share this playlist from last year (because every issue of Illumine includes a lovely playlist!)

I hope you're taking it easy this week - because you deserve all the rest, my friend!

Love you.

Big time.

The Art of Making Life Magical(the newsletter) Are you Rooted + Ready? 04.08.2026 Happy Wednesday, my friend! A year ago I started a series on my blog, Rooted + Ready. Originally it was a plan to help you be prepared for a jump in prices due to tariffs, but with all the craziness going on in Iran right now, I feel like it's time to revisit. Because, I don't know about you, but it feels like every damn week there's another reason that I'm stressed out over with the madman in the oval office....

This week I'm back with sharing more of how you can work with the energy of this week's last quarter moon - and it's big surge energy. It's the time to tackle those big tasks and get shit done!...

We've been hit hard every day with narcissistic abuse by our own government in an effort to destroy our society. But that only works if we let it. So our job in these insane times is to remember that the main thing that defeats this bullshit is to respond with action rather than to react in despair. If you've been...
