Meet Rooney.
Rooney is learning how to be a puppy. As he grows, he will train as a medical alert dog and will help with classes and reiki in our NatuReiki studio.
Already, he is great at making sure I see the moon at all hours and helping me slow down and be in the moment. Scheduling and paperwork are not his forte.

I know.
The MonkeyBee calendar is empty.
I'm in a mix of rest and survival mode.
I'm finding the calm in the chaos that is my life.
My home is a construction zone.
My family is growing and changing.
There's 'clutter' everywhere.
It's overwhelming at times.
I am going with the flow rather than trying to control.
New events are coming soon.
Want to help?
Let me know what you would like to see and learn.
Share some dates that work for you.

You all know the fun low-key bracelets and mala I make.
Inexpensive. Ok to say yes to. Low stakes. The kind we don't have to 'save this for something special.'

I fell in love. I have favorite stones. Ones that speak to my soul. Bumblebee Jasper is one of my OG faves. And I don't see it very often. I had never seen it in bead form. I was in one of my favorite shops far from home, .crystal.and.beads . I saw these two strands of beads that my heart wanted but my wallet hesitated. They simply were beyond my price point. I broke my own purchase rule because of this (Will I be sad if I leave without this?). And I didn't stop thinking about them. A week later, I saw a bracelet, simple- not unlike the stretch bracelets I create, in a different shop, in a different state, for an absurd price: more than the price of this whole strand! I was sad I had left 'my beads' in Florida. They were my birthday present after all!
Two weeks ago, I was in FL for a class and healing session. My self-care plan was tight, but I had a space in my schedule to trek over to my favorite shop. If these beads were really mine, they'd still be there three months later.
The shop had closed 10 minutes prior, but the door was still open. I told the cashier I would be super quick, I had a very specific target of my birthday beads, I was leaving before they'd open again. She let me in.
The beads had been moved and condensed onto a sale rack. A quick scan revealed beautiful beads but not mine.
The storekeeper may be right, they may not have them anymore.
Then, a vibration coming from the line of mookaite! Four strands were hanging. The two in the back were swaying before I reached out. The coloring of the back two strands radiated outward.
Of course they were my beads- protected by similar colored strands but waiting for me to come back for them.

There will be bracelets and mala for me.
And there will be a select few premium bracelets available for pre-order or on monkeybeereiki.com

We are loving time with fresh snow, self-care, and family and friends. Each Christmas Eve morning, we join hundreds in our town for a road march to celebrate our service men and women far from loved ones over the holiday season. We walk a 4 mile loop through the city streets singing carols and chatting with neighbors.
This is a great way to be reminded of how lucky we are and why we can live the way we do.
Over the next few days, family and friends will drop in and share gifts and treats, wine and time.

What are some of your favorite holiday traditions?

In the hustle and bustle, carve out quiet time for resetting energy and emotions. Practice your meditation, reiki, and energy hygiene and offer space for others to do the same.

Blessings 🐒🐝🧘‍♀️❤️

10 acres of paths through over a million Christmas lights and countless diaramas and scenes and this is one of five pictures that I took.
Santa, finding a moment of calm with his family in all the activity and chaos around them.
Santa knows.
How do you find calm in the chaos?

"I was looking to register for an event and I can't find it?"
"Are you OK?"

It doesn't exist.
I cancelled it. (Yes, I'm ok).
I cancelled all events for next week.
Why?
Because I operate two companies.
Usually, they dovetail nicely and one is busy while the other rests.
I'm taking personal rests when I can, and that means letting go of things I don't want to do and making choices for the things I want to do- and sometimes that's saying no to a fun thing.
Next week, with , I will be in PA, back to NY, down to VA and back, and then to FL.
There's self-care and fun with friends and family built into those trips but it's a lot of miles and a lot of energy.
I am abundant. I've built the life I want to live.

Enjoy these moments.
So many are stressed by what they 'should' do, what they 'have to' do.
Folks are worried about money or presents under the tree and for friends and family.
Practice the pause.
It's ok to say no.
It's ok to not do something you don't want to do.
It's ok to toss outdated, unhealthy traditions and try new practices.
How do you make time for what you love about this season? What are you saying no to?

Ornaments were on my tree as a kid. There were loose candy canes, but the ones inside the horses were special.
I don't know where the OG ornaments ended up.
We made more with my kids when they were small.
Again, through time and love changes, the ornaments vanished or got ruined.
This was the year for them to return. Easy to make. Pretty on the tree. And smiles and stories bouncing around among friends and family.
Some holiday traditions we release, for whatever reason.
Some we cherish and preserve.
