Fragmented & Whole

Heart Full ♥️
Thank you to ALL who joined me and Teresa for the Solstice practice. Wow, what a night!

When I arrived to set up, it was still light outside and the sky was putting on a show. 

As the sunlight slipped away, Saugatuck started to twinkle. It’s a special vantage point, looking across the water into all of that sparkle. 

Our practice was very intentional. 
And internal. 
The power of coming together in community in this way, at that moment? Next level.  ✨

We are walking incomplete,”

Merry Christmas! 🎄

For many, it’s a busy time. So I”ll be brief. 🥰

This year, the holiday season has brought me extra challenges around staying present, and finding contentment, with what actually is. 

There’s still a sliver of me that wants the holiday season to replicate all the wonder and ease it did when I was a kid. Back then, it really did seem like the gift of my brand new, handmade wooden balance beam, simply appeared. Magically! 

Of course, I now understand that my Dad spent HOURS and HOURS, on top of his long working hours, to lovingly craft that for me in our basement. 
Somehow, without me knowing! 
It took planning. And effort. And commitment. And cleanup. 
And I’m certain it wasn’t always easy, nor fun. 

My wish for us all is that we can be present with what is. 
Honor the multitudes of every moment. 
And still find glimmers of magic.

Here’s to resourcing ourselves and moving towards the light. 🎄

With tenderness and love,
