Feeling that 2:00ish low in energy?
Me too.

A mid-afternoon pick me up...
NATURE
Mushroom coffee
Barefeet on the concrete
Sun in the face

Close the eyes and let the sun touch between the eyes.

A natural pick me up.

So good!

👩‍🍳❤️🌻 Well hey there and hello from our family's very lived in, very loved kitchen.

This is an invitation to subscribe to the Inspired Living Newsletter 📰.

Why come to you from the kitchen?

💡 Because I'm so excited about this idea I have!

I have recently fallen in love with cooking. (Something I never thought I'd say.)

This new love was inspired by a course I'm teaching that focuses on the art of being cozy, and has helped me this winter when feeling blah. (Also partly inspired by "Little House on the Prairie", because...Ma...need I say more?)

I decided instead of sitting in the blah, to channel my energy into creating cozy rituals.

One of them being not just eating dinner, but making it an experience for my family.

So, I thought it would be fun to share recipes our family now loves with you.

Because let's face it, it can be hard to come up with ideas.

And little touches that makes the food presentation not only SUPER EASY, but also lovely and ritualistic and ways to set a certain vibe while creating the dishes.

I go for the simple, with different tastes inspired by different cultures, that include a short list of ingredients that are easily accessible in a small town.

AND I would love for you to share your recipes that I can share in the Inspired Living Newsletter with a picture and your name if you feel inspired to share.

I have felt so much JOY with this.

It was an intentional shift in mindset this winter that took work and incorporates so many little tidbits from Yoga, Ayurveda, nature and being curious about food.

These recipes will not be one certain way of eating or any kind of diet, it is simply food.

I will include links to where I found them and possible modifications I used.

Also, I would like to come up with a name for the subject line of the emails with these recipes and would love ideas!

Thanks for your help! And thanks for living inspired with me in "Inspired Living."

Be Inspired, Enjoy the Journey & Keep Smiling 😁

🌅 ☕️🐦 STILLNESS:
What caught my attention this morning as soon as I stepped outside to meet nature for our coffee date, was the stillness.

It sounds kind of weird, stillness catching your attention.

I think it's because things are so rarely still, in nature and in life.

Most times there is breeze if not powerful winds and life things are always moving and stirring.

It felt like a deep breath.

I noticed that everything seemed more clear in the moment.

In stillness, the bird chattering sounded sharper, the lines of the trees looked more defined and everything felt clear.

This is true on and off the mat.

A pause in stillness, if even for a breath, can be powerful.

There are 2 songs that came to mind in this stillness, that I often play during YIN Yoga on Thursday nights...

"Be Still and Know" and "In the Stillness."

Simple. Powerful. Doable.

How will you create stillness today in the mind, or body, or both, if even for a breath?

Be Inspired, Enjoy the Journey & Embrace the Pause ❤️

🧘‍♀️❤️ 📖 ENVISION U EXTENDED:
Our sweet little group (minus one) met for our 4th monthly Saturday gathering this weekend, and it was lovely!

This tribe has such wonderful energy and has become a little family, cheering squad and support system to eachother.

Each Envision U Extended group is based on 2 books. The subjects for this course are, Hygge...The Danish Art of Being Cozy and Meditation for Beginner's.

We read a couple of chapters from both books each month as "soulwork" and discuss the topics and practices when we gather.

That is just one of the pieces of these courses.

There is movement, breathwork, meditation, discussion, connecting with nature, journaling and different activities during each gathering.

I choose books that I have found to be extremely impactful in my life and LOVE sharing them with other women.

They are full of simple practices that anyone can do, and people choose the ones they connect with to sprinkle into their days.

Daily routines and healthy habits can be beneficial when dealing with pain, anxiety, stress, hormonal imbalances, lack of inspiration/motivation, gut issues and SO MANY LIFE THINGS.

These are women, coming from different seasons of life and unique life experiences coming together to pause.

It is just incredible.

I am grateful to be a part of it and learn alongside all of you.

The next Envision U Extended course, based on the practices of Earthing and Qigong, runs April-August 2026 and registration is open.

https://www.facebook.com/share/1GXYWfdHms/

Contact me to request an application/information packet.

Early Bird registration deadline is March 1st (discount) and registration will remain open until April 1st as long as there are spots available.

I have a couple of open spots.

Be Inspired & Enjoy the Journey friends!

🌕 ☕️🌲 Cool vibe this morning! She kept peeking through the clouds during my coffee date with nature.

It gave me the movie "Twilight" feels, without the vampires and werewolfs.

Anyone else LOVE that movie series!?!

Anyhoo...have a great day!

And don't forget to look up, down and all around. You never know what beauty and magic you may notice.

🥰😎😉 NO EXPECTATIONS & PURE JOY:
(A memory that makes me smile from December 2024, when it all began...and happy to say, our wellness sessions together are still going strong):

I recently received a phone call from someone I haven't seen in many, many years.

She left a message saying she was the activity director at GlenOaks Assisted Living for Senior Citizens in New London, and would I have any ideas for wellness sessions?

When we chatted, Janeen Mitchell told me, "They don't like wellness. The ones in wheel chairs wheel out of the room when I say the word."

To which, I belly laughed HARD at the visual.

Janeen, I got you. I'm in.

She said, "I hope you won't be disappointed if no one shows up, I have no idea what to expect."

I replied, "I am walking into this ready to have fun and NO EXPECTATIONS."
(Also, I've been doing this for 20 plus years, ya know how many things I've offered that no one walked into? Ya don't know until you offer it.)

Turns out, that was the PERFECT way to approach it!

These are my 5 new friends, Jack and the girls 🥰.

What did we do?

🎶 Danced in our seats to the beat of a Classic Christmas Playlist
💪 Used our cores
🙏 Practiced tapping
and Breathed together (they were amazing at this)

Oh, and BELLY LAUGHED!!! Mostly with Naomi who wasn't so sure she was glad to see me. But then she started moving and laughed THE WHOLE TIME!

So, I joined her🤣!

She kept saying, "I feel so loose and good" and repeated the phrase, "If you don't use it, you lose it (while laughing)!"

Ya know what Naomi? That's what it's all about girlfriend.

JOYful movement and breathwork.
I don't know who got more out of this, me or them.

Either way, I am so grateful for the experience and connection and will definitely be back!

I smiled and sang all the way home and couldn't wait to tell BZ about it!

I love practicing JOYFUL MOVEMENT with anyone and everyone who wants to do it with me!

Even if they are bribed with Bingo to get them through the door 😉.

Thanks so much for calling Janeen! It was not only great reconnecting, but you brought so much joy into my day.

Until next time, keep using what ya got Naomi! And hold down the fort until I come back Jack 😎.

Peace and Love

❄️ ❤️ ☕️ A SHIFT IN MINDSET CAN CHANGE EVERYTHING:
When you live in Minnesota and wake up to a full layer of snow, after having a week of springtime temps...you may feel...UGH...as I did.

Then, you can either sit in the ugh, or do something to shift your mindset.

For me, it was take a deep breath and head out to a favorite sit spot to simply be with nature and be open to the beauty in the moment.

This was that.

I wasn't barefoot, BUT I was nestled in amongst the trees.

I allowed my senses to be present and revitalized with watching the trees sway in the breeze, listening to the birds chatter (and snowplows doing their job) and feel and breathe fresh air.

It changed my reaction to it and I embraced the cozy day, although mostly with activities inside.

A pause can change everything friends.

A subtle shift in mindset has the power to shift your whole day.

Be Inspired & Enjoy the Journey!

✌️🧘‍♀️❤️ A GLIMPSE INTO LOVELY YIN YOGA THURSDAYS 5:30-6:30PM.

It feels like an exhale as people walk through the door, all creating a pause to breathe, connect and simply be.

Each person has a card waiting for them on their props.

Tonight's words messages from the "Wild Offering Oracle Deck" by Tosha Silver included...

🌙 Calmness
🦋 Mistakes
🐦 Service
🌸 Being Enough
🌳 Feelings
🌈 Divine Timing
🌻 Truth
🌞 Spaciousness

(Pictures of each with messages included in class pictures...)

The mantras they hear at the beginning of each YIN pose (1 per pose)...

I am grounded in the present moment.

I am aligned with my higher purpose.

I allow myself to slow down and rest deeply.

I am proud of myself and how far I've come.

I release all fears of not being good enough.

Ya never know what you'll learn as we chat for just a bit on the cards pulled and random things come up.

Tonight...how are chia seeds harvested?

We are collectively grateful for the people who harvest them, so we don't have to do it.

I told ya...random 😎.
