May we train our eyes, ears and hearts to recognize what is already before us, dear Readers! May your weekend be fulfilling!

Some people search the world for happiness,
others simply learn how to see it. ✨

This quote reminds us that life doesn’t suddenly become richer when everything changes — it becomes richer when our awareness does. The warmth of sunlight after a long day, a quiet moment of peace, a kind word that arrives right on time… these are not small things. They’re gentle miracles we often overlook while waiting for something bigger.

When you train your eyes to notice the good, your heart starts collecting it everywhere. And slowly, without forcing anything, life begins to feel fuller, softer, and more meaningful. 🌙

Because abundance isn’t about having more —
it’s about recognizing what’s already here. 💫

Acting from the place of love will never be the wrong answer, dear Readers. Carry on with your wiser self, yes, but with love always as your compass.

First, dear Readers, we must align with the fact that
we are our own safe place,
that we are worthy of boundary setting,
that we are precious,
made in the image of the Sacred.
Then, we will know to defend and protect
where our sanity lives. 💛✨💛

What we seek we are most likely to find, so keep seeking for whatever brings a happy sigh or smile to your heart! Here's to the "saving power", dear Readers!

PS: Today is National Chocolate Day! It's been my experience that my 86% dark chocolate has saved many a dreary moody moment! What's YOUR favorite chocolate? Maybe you can partake, even a little?😉🍫

Dear Readers, Like most of you, I, too, am empty. My heart feels a cold-tomb like void today, but ...
I will look for the kindest souls today. I wish for you the same, my friends. May we connect with the feelings, the persons, the energy where we can surround ourselves with the energy of love, security and peace, my friends. 💜✨💜✨💜

"Some hearts feel like home warm, safe, and full of love. 💕
They don’t try to change you.
They don’t rush you.
They simply hold space for who you are becoming.
Being around them feels like taking a deep breath after a long day.
Like finally exhaling the weight you didn’t even know you were carrying.
These are the souls who listen without judgment,
who love without conditions,
who remind you that kindness still exists in a loud world.
When you find people like this, cherish them.
Protect their energy.
Nurture those connections.
Because in a world that can feel cold and overwhelming,
their warmth becomes your shelter.
And sometimes…
home isn’t a place.
It’s a feeling.
It’s a person.
It’s the peace you feel when you’re finally understood.
May you always be surrounded by hearts that feel like home.
And may you become that safe place for others too. ✨
Tag [or hug]someone who feels like home to you " 💗

(Volume on)
Today, may we find ourselves living in the moment of now as often as possible, dear Readers! Not the future tripping "What-ifs?" nor the past that anchors us to one moment in time, and does not allow for growth of self, or the growth of hope. May this weekend ahead find you rejuvenating in body, mind and spirit. Breathe, and "Be here, now."

Regulating our nervous system reduces emotional stress, physical muscle tensions, lowers our heart rates and slows the production of stress hormones; so here's to soothing, thus healing our very stressed nervous system, dear Readers.

This may seem a bit backwards, but I'd like you to go down this list before you even attempt to begin really trying these regulators--I want you to go right to the ones that you know you can't do, or for whatever reason, won't do, and scratch it off the list. Then it would be so helpful on a few different levels, to insert what you CAN and would see yourself doing.

For example, you may say" I can't go on a walk with my mobility issues"; yet you may be able to replace that walk with sitting in your chair and exercising your feet and ankles for a bit of movement. You may say "There is no community pool or access to a beach where I live", but you could and would soak in a warm tub, or soak your feet. You may not be able to go out with bare feet in a cold season to ground yourself, but you may be able to do some grounding with sand( even kinetic sand sold in your local stores where toys are sold or on line, checks the "grounding" box.
We may not be able to change the stressors of the world right now, but nor do we have to let these stressors deplete us. Wishing you some peace-filled and fun regulating sessions!

You can create a list of regulators that you CAN and Will do for yourself.

This seemed appropriate for National Hugging Day. It's hard to even think about hugging at all when sitting with unbidden demands, so 1st a hug to self: start with your right hand on your left shoulder and your left hand under your right armpit. Take a deep breath and then settle into that self hug. Hold it for as long as is comfortable, and repeat as often as needed. I find it so soothing, when I remember to do this. So conversely dear Readers, it's also hard to demand of self or others after such a supportive hug! Now onto melting into my husbands hug! Happy hugging and gratitude chats!

If you're not certain what your gifts are these days dear Readers, today is an excellent day to reacquaint yourself with your attributes. You deserve to create your own solace. Happy gift giving day, my friends!✨💜✨

May this be an elephant kind of week, dear Readers!
Walk gently, love boldly, and protect what matters with a heart full of kindness. 🐘

Even when it feels like grace is distant, this is when that chapter is being formed in your very cells. The timing is always just when it needs to be, dear Readers. Keep showing up!

These steps, dear Readers, may be the most basic steps to just get through the day, but we don't have to walk them without a hand rail, a hand hold, or a bench nearby to pause and rest in between the harder steps of the day! Today's steps are all that's required...we do not have to walk today, for tomorrow. Hope-filled change is afoot and I want to feel strong enough to walk towards it, so I will take a rest when I need to and then refueled, will take some more steps. Are you with me?
