Mindfully Awake Hey dear friend, Thank you so much for opening this letter! I hope you’re doing well! I’m curious, do you have any morning rituals that you absolutely love–daily morning practices that feel so good and nourishing in your body? The practices we explore in the morning can really set the tone for the entire day. In fact, our first conscious thought upon waking has the capacity to create real physiological changes in the body, such as changes in heart rate, blood pressure, hormone...

Rooted in Community Hello dear friend, Thank you so much for opening this letter and for taking the time to read it! 🙂 A couple of weeks ago, we had a major snowstorm here, and depending on where you are in the world, you might have been impacted by it too. I hope you and your loved ones are safe and doing well. I cannot believe how much snow landed in such a short period of time! I was joking with a few of our neighbors that by the time spring arrives, we’ll all emerge from our homes with...

Flowing with the Vibes Hello! How are you doing today? As I enjoy a warm cup of tea while writing this letter, I’m not only appreciating the taste but also the beautiful piece of wisdom on its tag: “The heart sees deeper than the eye.” How poetic! It’s a nice reminder that while our eyes might only see what’s on the surface, our hearts have the capacity to connect with what lies beneath–things that aren’t always visible, but are deeply felt. Alright, I invite you to take a moment right now to...

Serenity among the trees and more musings Hey there! I hope you’ve been staying well! When you think of self-care, what words, images, or feelings come to mind? For me, it’s nature. I feel at peace when I spend time outside–whether I’m basking in the sun, feeling the cool raindrops on my skin, or listening to the sounds of nature. It’s just so soothing. Connecting with nature is an essential part of my daily self-care routine, helping me ground, recenter, and restore inner balance and calm. A...

What do you want to call in? Hello and happy Monday! I hope this letter finds you well! At the beginning of the year, several people asked me if I had made any resolutions for the new year, which sparked some interesting discussions. A year ago, I would have said “yes,” and shared my list of resolutions. But this year, I explained that I’m choosing to approach things with a different perspective and intention. At the beginning of this year, I asked myself the following question: “What do I...

Choose Your Own Adventure Hi dear friend! Happy New Year! How did you ring in 2025? I couldn’t help but laugh when I thought back to how I rang in 2024. I quite literally kicked my way into the new year, stubbing three of my toes on my bed frame! Thankfully, this year is already off to a smoother start–I haven’t stubbed a single toe! I made sure to keep my feet firmly planted on the ground on New Year’s Eve to avoid another mishap. For our first letter of the year, I thought that it might be...

Unwrap the Gift of Compassion Hello!! How are you doing today? Before we get into today's letter, let's take a moment to connect with the breath. I invite you to take a slow, nourishing breath in through your nose, and then gently release your breath through your nose or mouth. As you breathe in, notice the sensation of air as it enters your nostrils, and then feel the temperature of your breath on a soft, slow exhale. This time as you breathe in, follow the flow of your breath, noticing...

Shake it off! Hello and happy Monday! Thank you so much for opening this letter. I’m writing to you on a snowy day…yes, it snowed! The world outside looks like a magical winter wonderland. I went for a walk while the snow was gently falling, and everything looked and felt so peaceful. The trees were lightly dusted with snow, and the world was so quiet that I could hear the faint crunch of the snow beneath my feet with every step. The cool, crisp air felt refreshing against my face, and the...
