🌿 Stevie — Elder of the Little Sanctuary
(For anyone new here, Stevie is my resident, free ranging green tree frog of 12 years)
“Stevie has entered her sacred elder years now, living quietly in her little retirement village tucked inside my work room… the warmest spot of the healing space.
From her soft winter home, she watches the world with the calm presence of a tiny green grandmother. She’s witnessed countless bodies arrive seeking release, healing, and rest… and she’s seen more half naked humans than any frog should reasonably be expected to. Yet she sits there like a serene temple guardian, blinking slowly as if blessing each person who walks through.
She’s absorbed so many Quit Smoking hypnosis sessions over the years that she’s practically enlightened on the subject. She’ll never smoke, never v**e, and honestly, she could probably run a session herself at this point.
These days she moves gently, sparingly, with the wisdom of a creature who knows energy is precious. She eats when she chooses, rests when she needs, and trusts completely in the little world we’ve made for her.
There is something profoundly beautiful about witnessing an animal age with such grace. No fear. No rush. Just presence.
Stevie reminds us that slowing down is not a decline — it’s a return.
A return to simplicity.
A return to trust.
A return to the quiet knowing that life is still good, even when lived softly.
Here’s to Stevie — elder, observer, tiny sage of the healing room — living her final chapter in warmth, comfort, and gentle light.”
