Let's reset, shall we?

11.20.2025

I dunno if it's mercury in the mircowave...
the extinction burst of the patriarchy getting heavier...
or just the longer nights and shorter days...

But right now I know I'm not the only one who is on the struggle bus and the world feels SO heavy right now.

You know I'm not gonna let that keep me down for long though, right?

New On SubStack:
When the World Feels Too Heavy...

Lately, I’ve been drained. Energetically. Creatively. Spiritually. Emotionally. Mentally.

Like someone unplugged me from the wall and forgot to plug me back in.

And the thing is… I’ve talked to so many friends this week who feel the exact same way. Women who are normally grounded, magical, resilient… all saying some version of:

Playlist: 90s Coffee Shop

Lately I've been kind of obsessed with the 90s vibes. I dunno if it's a sign of a recession - or if I'm just in my "healing my 20-something self" era. But this one hits all the vibes and has comforting songs that just take me back to a softer time.

Sending you lots of good energy to reset your soul - and creative sprinkles on top!

Love you.
Mean it.
Big time.

Scattering Kindness Like Confetti....

Six weeks ago, when we found out that SNAP benefits were going to be withheld due to the US government shutdown, I did what every other woman around me was doing: started searching for food banks to donate to. And that was when I was shocked to learn that there is NO reliable food bank in my town. A town that has 5,000 folks living here. There are a couple of churches that have them randomly (like every 5th Thursday - aka 3-4 times a year)... but there were zero consistent resources where...

I've actually got two posts to share today - one sweet, one savory... Wanna start with dessert? from the blog archives: Banana Pudding Cheesecake...

The matriarchy is rising...

The Art of Making Life Magical(the newsletter) the soft rebellion is here 11.09.2025 It's been 10 days since we started our Free Little Market. And maybe it's last week's elections or maybe it's just that the oxytocin of loving my neighbors is flowing in my veins...But I feel SO different today. I don't wake up with dread of what horrible news is going to hit me today. Instead, I wake up thinking, "How can I help today?"It's a subtle shift. But man, can I feel it in every cell of my body.
