Karen Kurchyne, Peace Gardener: Cultivating the Beauty in You

05/01/2026

Happy May Day!
I woke early today to the beautiful sunshine radiating bright light on our path ahead. Opened the blinds to Rabbit munching on the dew covered grass. Providing a sign of blessings and fertility for life ahead. And then heard a small group of songbirds chirping lively to each other in our hemlock. They spoke of community and communication while sitting in a symbol of transformation and significant transition.

If you’ve followed me since the end of January, and the card pulled then which I spoke to for three months…the tower, has burned down. And we are standing on the coals and ashes. It’s time for building upon it with intentions, together. It may take time to clear the rumble but focus on creating new community with like-minded, as well as different-minded with a willingness to find common ground. Work to create new healthy foundations for what we are building anew.

Hemlock is a symbol of the Death card, it’s time to look ahead to renewal. It’s time for rebirth. There will be those that don’t wish to acknowledge we are starting a new way. But we will start in anyway. Don’t be held back by people or things that wish to try to hold the cinders together with their will and want. The light is shining our path forward. And forward we are going. Take purposeful steps toward each other and brighter days ahead. May it be better health, comforting home, welcome communication, nurturing relationships, and abundance in all forms for each of us.

Blessed Beltane to all!
Here’s to a blossoming new road ahead. 🌺 🌼 💐

You can’t serve others from an empty cup.
Take care of you first and then everyone gets more.

Self care serves deeper and farther.

What if you didn’t have a fear in the world today. What would you do?

Be fearless.

You have never been as lost as you feel.
Spirit is always guiding you and walking with you.

While just finishing my May newsletter coming out Friday, I’m listening to Rag ‘n Bone Man’s Giant. And these lyrics hit the message I just channeled for you. Spirit’s cool like that.

“I would be nothing without you holding me up
Now I'm strong enough for both of us

I am a giant (ooh)
Stand up on my shoulders, tell me what you see
'Cause I am a giant (ooh)
We'll be breaking boulders, underneath our feet

Don't hide your emotions, you can throw down your guard
And feed from the notion we can be who we are
You taught me something, yeah, freedom is ours
It was you who taught me living is
Togetherness, togetherness, togetherness”

You stand on the shoulders of Spirit and as you stand tall in that, show others how to do the same.

You are a Giant. And Spirit is cheering you on!

When making a change and you find old behaviors coming back up, be thankful. In acknowledging it, you just mindfully gave yourself another chance.

It’s not failure, it’s self awareness. And that’s a win!

Refocus and take the next step. You got this.

Below is an excerpt from a chapter on comparisons. The backstory is that Molly was upset that someone else opened a similar business to hers and was showing quick following on social media, an area Molly wasn’t confident in. The author responded to Molly’s fear and panic to this woman’s success overshadowing hers by telling Molly that she should thank her competitor. Here’s why.

“If you are jealous right now about someone else's success, GOOD.
I'm happy for you. Jealousy is an invitation from your future self. It is inviting you to look more closely at someone else—not to make you feel inferior, but to show you what is possible.
This woman was not stealing any success from Molly. She was not preventing Molly from changing her website or focusing on social media. This woman's wins online were not Molly's losses. Because other people are never going to stop you from achieving what's meant for you. They can't. Only you can stop yourself from achieving it.
This woman is a reminder to Molly that social media matters. She is a teacher who is leading the way. Let Them wake you up. Let Them be successful. Let Them dazzle you with their beautiful web design.”
~ The Let Them Theory, Mel Gibbons

Only you can prevent yourself from having your best life. Let others teach you that having it is possible. Then let yourself go make it happen!

Instead of asking, “What’s my purpose?”,
ask “What am I missing in looking for my purpose?”

The second leads to the details that answer the first.

Your Akashic records hold the outline to this life you are living. And as you move through living with all that you are and your free will, you write the story from that outline.
Your Spirit Guides hold that outline as they help to guide you in remembering the direction you wanted to take this life. They offer guidance but they can’t make you or anyone do anything you don’t want to. Your life, your choices.
Sometimes they are there going:
“We’re going to turn left here.”
You turn around.
“Okaaaay, I guess we aren’t going left. Let me recalculate and see now what….”

Just like GPS they guide but you’re driving the car. And they are along for the ride.

“Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?”
~ Mary Oliver, The Summer Day

If you remember how very precious this one life is, does it change how you think and what you choose?

It should. Let it.
