Finding harmony and cultivating peace - my latest newsletter is out.

Finding Harmony in Nature I've been finding the greatest sense of peace in nature these days. The peaty smell of decaying leaves, the lingering smoke from a chimney, the crisp morning air and the golden hue of the sunlight are some of my favorite things to linger on during this time of year.

A little self care reminder as you start a new week. 🙏🏻

I've spent a lot of time over the past few years traveling the State of Maine and meeting with mental health providers and staff at schools in rural, high-needs areas. One consistent theme I've heard is that many students don't have aspirations or feel hopeful about their future. Perhaps it's a direct correlation to the external social or community climate, perhaps it's related to screen usage, maybe dynamics within families not feeling they can get ahead. Whatever the underlying cause is, it's significant to understand it better and consider framing experiences around what is possible even in the midst of difficulty or feelings of helplessness. 🙏🏻

Finding ways to be creative, off a screen and allowing your imagination to create through art, movement or play… or simply taking in nature can be a lovely reset to a difficult day. 🩷

I love this time of year and the lovely reminders it offers us that there are seasons and a letting go throughout the cycle of life. When we can adapt to change and embrace a level of impermanence with curiosity, we can strengthen our resilience.

Starting the week off with some awareness of all we each carry throughout the day, having grace for ourselves and for another whose burdens we may not know, may offer the patience and kindness we all need right now. 🙏🏻

Savor the small moments whenever possible. They can sometimes make the biggest difference in our sense of wellbeing.

Children model what they see, live and experience. For us to teach peace, we ourselves must know peace and set an example of what it is to be truly peaceful - in our words, in our body language, in our actions and in our hearts. Peace is possible when we connect to what truly matters.

As we head into the weekend, consider making a plan that fills a sense of kindness, trust and care for yourself and those around you. ❤

Focusing on the small things with intention and appreciation can lift even the hardest of moments. When we take care of our own sense of comfort and peace, we can better take care of others and approach the world around us with a sense of comfort and peace. Wishing you a few moments of peace and comfort today. 🙏🏻
