YOU NEVER FAIL!

💜You can mess up.

💜You can get things wrong.

💜You can act in a manner less than the manner of your fullness.

✅But you never fail.

Every step that you take along the journey of your life is a success to be celebrated.

Every breath you take is inspiration, taken in deep and then gifted back into the world

Unknown source. In my notes from somewhere I had saved and it popped up so… it was meant to share with you today

I’m feeling the hangover. Are you?

Great post from Deborah King - worth a read for sure

January is supposed to feel crisp and hopeful. New calendar. New planner. Fresh promises. Yet a lot of sensitive people wake up in the second or third week of January feeling wrung out. Spiritually flat. Nervous system buzzing and heavy at the same time. The mind keeps saying, “It’s a new year,....

A Letter from Lila

A Lymphie’s Journey Back to Herself 🌸

Dear You 🤍

I didn’t lose myself all at once.
It happened slowly… quietly… between responsibilities, survival, and trying to be strong.

My body started speaking long before I listened.
The swelling. The heaviness. The fatigue that sleep didn’t fix.
The way my clothes felt tighter — not just around my waist, but around my breath 🌊

I told myself it was normal.
I told myself to push through.
I told myself I’d “sort it out later”.

But later became pain.
Later became inflammation.
Later became a body that felt unfamiliar — like it was holding on to things it no longer knew how to release 🕊️

What I’m only beginning to understand now…
Is that my relationship with food was shaped long before I had a choice.

I grew up around food chosen for survival — not nourishment.
Finances were limited.
Big pots of pasta were made so they could last longer.
Bread in the morning and bread at night, because that was all my mom had to give.

There was no education around food — only gratitude that there was food.
And slowly, without anyone meaning harm, that became my foundation.
A body taught to endure.
A nervous system wired for scarcity.
A relationship with food built on fear, not safety 🤍

This was my Day 1.
Not a detox.
Not a cleanse.
Not a complete lifestyle overhaul.

Just one decision.

My only goal that day was simple —
to choose food that wouldn’t harm me.
Food that wouldn’t inflame me.
Food that wouldn’t leave my body fighting for hours after eating 🍽️

I didn’t try to be perfect.
I didn’t restrict.
I didn’t punish my body.

I chose safety over sabotage.
Gentleness over guilt 🤍

What I didn’t know then…
Was that my lymphatic system was overwhelmed.
That my body wasn’t broken — it was burdened.

No one taught me that fluid holds emotion.
That stress thickens lymph.
That hormones, inflammation, trauma, and exhaustion all slow the very system meant to protect me 🌿

So I stopped fighting my body…
And started listening 🤍

I learned that healing doesn’t come from punishment.
It comes from gentleness.
From movement that feels safe.
From nourishment that supports flow.
From rest that isn’t earned — but deserved ✨

This is me now.
Not perfect. Not finished.
But softer. Lighter. More aware.

I am learning to trust my body again.
To choose myself again.
To return — slowly — to who I was always meant to be 🌸

If this letter found you, maybe it’s because your body is speaking too.

And maybe…
Just maybe…
This is where your journey back to yourself begins 🌊

With love,
Lila 🌿

What feels different is that I’m calm this year. (So far) My nervous system has been releasing and relaxing more and more with everything I’ve been doing in support

Last year taught me a lot and sitting back I can see how certain things needed to happen as they did

I don’t do resolutions. I do realign and take time for my word of the year (it hasn’t come yet).

I love my full moon 🌕 and new moon 🌚 write and burns. Try it today/tonight. Write down what energies you’re not taking with you into 2026 and burn the s**t out them. You don’t need them following you around in 2026- maybe ask how donyou want to feel, what do you want, what son you want more of? Less of? What are your exhausted from carrying?
