Karen Kurchyne, Peace Gardener: Cultivating the Beauty in You

11/23/2025

Consider something difficult someone else is going through. Fill your heart with compassion for them and gratitude for the absence of that difficulty in your own life.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder of your own life.

Don’t “poison *yourself* with the pressures of imagined perfection.” ~ Matt Haig, The Midnight Library

Such a potent reminder, perfection is all in the mind. Beautifully imperfect reality is so much better than you may be allowing yourself to believe.

There’s one asterisk to this: don’t feel the need to ever smile when you are sad. Don’t pretend just to make others feel better. That’s toxic positivity.
Honor your emotions. All of them. And if the sadness gets too deep for too long, do the strongest thing you will ever do, go for help.
Because the sadness in You matters. And it needs to be fully expressed. Life is too short to not do that. ❤️

Maybe the happy ending is that you fall in love with your life. Eat your favorite foods, admire sunrises and sunsets, pick up the book you’ve been trying to finish, dance to your favorite songs, buy yourself flowers, bring your mind back to how blessed you are.

Maybe the happy ending is choosing peace over pressure. Laughing so hard your soul feels lighter. Spending time with people who feel like sunshine. And learning to enjoy your own company like it’s the best place to be.✨

Who do you think you are? No, really. Who do YOU think you are??!

Whatever it is, you’re right.

Think better.

Our monthly Card Reading Group gathers next Wednesday, November 19th at 6:30p.

You’ll learn to connect with your psychic self and dig deeper into reading cards. We’ll go beyond a simple card for the day or three card pull. You are going to find your own way of reading them. We do different exercises each month to stretch your boundaries.

Bring your own deck, or two. (Cards will not be provided.) All card types are welcome.

You have an amazing heart, full of so much Love. Don’t keep it to yourself. Share it with others. All others. Fellow man and animal alike.

You’ll make the world better as you do. Just by letting your beautiful heart shine.
