Summer Solstice: Reconnection & Rest
As I celebrated the vibrant and nurturing energy of the solstice and reflected on the gifts my spirit has to share with the world, one of the things that came up for me was my continued desire for connection
The Healing Power of the Sun
These are uncertain times (to say the least). Though we are all experiencing current events through our own unique lens, I think it safe to say that we are all walking into an unknown future. And whatever your perspective, that can feel scary. In searching for possible insight or reflection to offer, the only things that […]
Spring Equinox: Celebrating Change
Today is the Spring Equinox (for those of us in the northern hemisphere)… the day when the sun passes over the equator and the length of day and night are (relatively) equal.
