❄️Announcement -Honoring the Pace - https://mailchi.mp/b8ce40265dcf/vision-board-announcement-honoring-the-paceAs I look out the window and write to you today we’re sitting on the edge of a winter storm- The kind of weather that naturally slows things down, asks us to stay put, and reminds us that not everything is meant to move forward on schedule. And it feels important to name this — because it mirrors something deeper that’s been unfolding- Due To Inclement Weather the Vision Board Workshop is postponed - New date TBD Your ticket will automatically roll over

Let Your Word Find You- This week isn’t about choosing faster — it’s about listening deeper.
A word doesn’t need to be forced.
Sometimes it finds you when you slow down enough to hear it.
I’m sharing a few reflections and journal prompts in today’s newsletter for anyone who wants to explore a word to walk with them this year.
No rush.
No pressure.
Just curiosity and care.

Happy New Year - Today We Begin Where We Are 1/1 🤍
Today isn’t about fixing, forcing, or figuring everything out.
It’s about beginning where you are.
After all the shedding, reflecting, and closing of the year, this day asks for something softer — integration, presence, and care.
No rush.
No pressure.
Just a gentle start.
May this year meet you with steadiness, nourishment, and support — one intentional step at a time.

The Year of the Snake: The Ultimate Shed 🐍
This year, we shed. We don’t force.
As we step into a new year, the symbolism feels clear — real transformation doesn’t come from pushing harder, it comes from releasing what no longer serves.
Happy New Year 🤍

Holding the Dark, Trusting the Light - A Solstice reminder 🌑✨
Today marks the Winter Solstice — the longest night of the year and the quiet turning back toward the light. A reminder that rest is not weakness, stillness is not stagnation, and renewal doesn’t rush.
✨ May this Solstice offer you permission to rest, release, and trust the timing of your own becoming.
Tonight’s Solstice ritual: DIY floating sky candles — a favorite tradition, with the recipe shared in the book- https://mailchi.mp/76b9a82c797a/holding-the-dark-trusting-the-light-a-solstice-reminder

If you find yourself feeling stressed in the kitchen today, overwhelmed by hosting, or worried about getting it all “right,”
come back to this.
The heart of the holiday isn’t perfection.
It’s connection.
It’s laughing while the gravy splashes, passing plates across crowded tables, sharing stories that make you cry and then laugh again.
No one will remember if the turkey was a little dry…
They’ll remember who they sat next to.
They’ll remember your warmth.
They’ll remember how it felt to be welcomed in your home.
So cook with love.
Serve with heart.
Let gratitude be the seasoning that ties everything together.
And if something burns, falls apart, or never makes it to the table?
It’s okay.
They’re not there for the food —
They’re there for you.

If this year is complicated, or marked by absence — I hope you still find a soft corner of peace to rest in.

Not every holiday is spent in the kitchen, or around a crowded table. Some years are travel years, healing years, navigating-family years… and those count too.
All my love,
Mel 🤍
