Dear Reader,
There is a higher, wiser essential self that rests deep in our center. On occasion we catch whispers of her. She is like a sanctuary - grounded, present, assured, at home.
Meet your truer self this summer
Life gets busy and noisy, and sometimes we tend to give our best energy away to others. If you have drifted from peace, presence, and your own wisdom within for whatever reason, let this season be the one to reconnect with yourself on a deeper level.
1st, PAUSE with No-Cost Resources: In my last email I mentioned that I was part of the final season of the Inspired Living Giveaway hosted by Aspire Magazine. There are over 50 free resources and gifts for personal discovery on topics like:
awakening your intuition
creating a lasting self-care practice
elevating your mindset
finding peace in the midst of chaos
fueling your business success
soothing your inner critic
clearing your space with Feng Shui
tapping into your creativity
understanding the power of human design, and MORE!
Next, Reconnect with the Rooted & Rising Summer Retreat Series & Sound/Yoga Sessions
This is the season to live differently, to feel differently—more present, more at peace, and perhaps a little more like yourself again.
The Rooted to Rising Retreat Experiences provide space to take a deep pause in a sacred, loving container where you can come as you are and be held—be guided to slow down, reconnect, and tend to your inner life with care.
Together, we’ll share, reflect, and grow in community—remembering the sweetness that exists, learning to savor what is good, and reclaiming our energy from the constant noise and urgency of the world.
This is where you come back to yourself. Where you begin to feel grounded, nourished, and hopeful about what’s ahead.

Dear Reader, Hello from Sunny Los Angeles where I am visiting my son, Jake! As summer kicks off, I'm asking a simple question: How do I want to live this season? Not just what I want to accomplish, but how I want to feel. Honestly, what I have been feeling is a lot of grief on many levels, which I won't get into here and now. But as a new season begins to bloom, I am ready to reclaim my energy and shift my focus with intention. Though the energies on the planet are not slowing, I can live...
