The Resilient Raw Yogi

01/03/2026

I saw Joe in my dreams again last night.

That familiar, reoccurring one I keep having—still just out of reach when I wake up.
But this time, I remember seeing him.

I woke up with purpose.

I knew it was time to return to my snow and cold meditation, back to the creek, back to my mat.

Eleven minutes today—three more than last year.
With every practice, I feel myself growing stronger… not just in my body, but in my trust.

I felt him with me there.
In the stillness.
In the breath.
In the quiet strength it took to stay.

And then, on the adventure that followed, a bright red cardinal appeared.
In that moment, I didn’t question it.
I just knew.

He was there—watching, guiding, reminding me that I’m never walking this path alone.
Strength comes. Purpose rises.
And love finds its way to meet us—right where we are.

Purpose reveals itself when we trust the guidance around us.

If you’re feeling called to listen more deeply, send me a message

—I’d love to walk alongside you.

In the quiet of winter, one bright moment reminded me—
stillness reveals what searching never could.

In that stillness, I remembered my purpose.

There’s just something about being that close to a cardinal.

“The answers you are looking for are in the silence you’re avoiding”

40 ✨
Not louder. Not smaller. Just truer.

Today I’m celebrating 40 years of lessons, love, loss, growth, and becoming.
I’ve learned that strength isn’t hard—it’s soft.
That joy can exist alongside grief.
That I don’t need permission to take up space, rest, dream, or begin again.

I’m grateful for the love that shaped me, the people who still walk beside me, and even the chapters that broke me open and taught me how deep my heart really goes. Some love never leaves—it just changes form and walks with you differently 🤍

Here’s to choosing myself.
Here’s to depth over perfection.
Here’s to the next decade—rooted, radiant, and real.

Hello 40. I’m ready ✨

✨🎄 Holiday Hallway — Year Two 🎄✨

Last year I created a little bit of Christmas magic in our hallway, and something about it felt so special that I knew it had to become a tradition. So here we are — year two — twinkle lights glowing again, peppermint dreams hanging from the ceiling, and that same feeling of wonder filling every step through this space.

But this year… this year is different. This year, at the end of the hallway, stands a piece of my heart. Joe’s mannequin wrapped into the season with the rest of us. A quiet reminder that love never leaves — it just learns how to show up differently.

This hallway isn’t just decorated. It’s layered with memories, healing, tradition, and the hope I keep choosing every day. Every light, every candy swirl, every little detail… it all means more now.

Magic still lives here.
Love still lives here.
And somehow, so do we. ❤️✨

Yesterday’s road led me right where I needed to be — in the presence of my daughter and my sweet grandson. 💙 Every mile was worth it. Forever grateful for moments like these, and the love that makes the journey mean so much. ✨
