One of the many things I appreciate about summer is the abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables from the local farmers around us.

Right now, many of us are experiencing the intensity of change—both in the world and within ourselves. Structures are crumbling, truths are surfacing, and the ground beneath our feet can feel anything but steady.

One of the most profound gifts of this inner journey is realizing that I’ve truly become my own best friend. I genuinely appreciate who I am, and I love spending time with myself.

This time of year, there is an aliveness in the air that brings the feeling of fresh and unlimited possibilities.

I write about what’s alive in my heart in the moment—and this past week, I’ve been reflecting on a retreat I recently hosted and all that unfolded there.

It’s Sunday night, and I’ve just returned home from hosting a weekend retreat for women—one that featured the sacred presence and wisdom of Indigenous women. And honestly, it was beyond incredible.

I want to share a beautiful experience I had last week—one that reminded me, once again, of the deep power of intention and the magic that happens when we gather together in community.

Lately, I’ve been reflecting on my journey with meditation, my experiences over the years, and just how transformative it’s been.

Last week, I attended a retreat that touched me deeply. One of the segments focused on the theme of true confidence, and it stirred something profound in my soul.

Lately, in my interactions with people, a recurring theme has been surfacing—one that feels timely and essential:

The power of being present in the here and now—and how we can access peace in simple, everyday ways.

Lately, I’ve been reflecting on the quiet ways our inner language shapes our experience.

As we all know, it can be easy to get sucked into what's happening around us, outside of us.

I’ve been feeling more immersed in the flow of life lately, noticing the synchronicities unfolding around me and the abundance that exists in every moment.

There are many preconceived notions about meditation. Those who have never practiced may visualize someone sitting in silence cross-legged on a cushion, eyes closed, their hand in a particular position. While this is one way to meditate, it's not the only way.

 Last week, I visited the beach for the first time this year. The fresh air, the vast horizon, the beautiful lake—and not to mention the sun shining brightly after a long winter—felt like heaven.

There is so much chaos happening in the world right now. The collective energy is turbulent, and maybe, like me, you are feeling it too, either consciously or subconsciously.

Every four years, I get the unique experience of celebrating my true birthday—February 29th. But what about the years in between, like this one?

I had a great conversation with a friend recently. We were talking about how everyone has a story and that we never really know what’s going on with someone.
