Hi Reader, Happy New Year to you! 🩶 If you’re feeling a little off today, you’re not alone. The holidays tend to leave us with too much sugar, maybe more alcohol than usual, lots of socializing, late nights and sleep schedules that are all over the place. By the time January rolls around, it can feel tempting to overhaul everything. New habits, new routines, new rules. But here’s the truth:We’re still in the thick of winter. Nature isn’t rushing. It’s resting, conserving energy and slowly...

❄️Winter Energy❄️ Hello Dear Reader, We are officially in winter (as of December 21st), the one season where nature visibly slows everything down. Trees stop producing. Plants direct their energy back into their roots. Animals rest more. Nothing is trying to create, grow, or expand right now. And yet, we live in a world that tells us the new year is the time to reinvent ourselves. We’re actively encouraged to take on new habits and fill our calendars with self improvement activities. Our...

❄️Returning to Simple this Season❄️ Good morning Reader, Merry Christmas to you and yours which is somehow only 4 days away! How did we get here so quickly? It feels like 2025 just started and yet here we are celebrating the end. This week I had a few personal appointments and I noticed that everywhere I went I had the same conversation with people. They would say "oh, are you ready for the holidays? I bet you've been so busy getting ready! It's been so hectic for me because of X, Y and Z."...

❄️Honoring The Season You're In❄️ Good morning Reader, I’ve been thinking a lot about discernment and life seasons lately. When I watch the news or scroll on social media, it feels like most of us are living in a constant state of “summer energy.” Always setting goals. Always striving to bloom, transform, and evolve. We’re encouraged to stay in our active, masculine energy, often forgetting to acknowledge or honor the other seasons we move through. For a long time, I lived almost entirely in...

❄️A Softer December❄️ Hi Reader, Happy December! I hope you’re easing into this new month with a little softness in your body, mind and energy. December has a way of asking us to speed up… even when everything inside us is craving the exact opposite. I noticed after Thanksgiving I was feeling a little more anxious and overwhelmed than normal. I was waking up in the morning with my mind already running a million miles an hour. I was having difficulty stilling my mind and body for my Yoga Nidra...

The Art of Effort and Ease: Finding Balance in the Seasons Hi love, Notice how nature never rushes? The trees don’t force their leaves to bud before spring. The flowers don’t bloom in the middle of winter. Everything in nature moves in rhythm, honoring a perfect balance between times of growth and times of rest. For most of my life I thought I had to be in constant go mode, always working, always producing, always striving. Society told me that if I wasn't being productive I was being...

The Power of Living Seasonally (Especially for Women) As women, our energy is cyclical, just like the seasons. But we’ve been conditioned to show up the same way, with the same energy, Every. Single. Day. This disconnect from our cyclical nature is often what leads to imbalance, chronic fatigue and burnout. Seasonal living invites us back into relationship with nature’s rhythm and with ourselves. 🌿 Spring is the season of awakening. It’s a time of gentle movement, fresh starts and planting...

October 6, 2024 Good morning Reader, and Happy Sunday! I hope you will take some time this morning to slow down, breathe deeply and enjoy this newsletter. Have a great week and remember to do something kind for yourself and someone else. ♥️ Human Beings I shared with a friend recently that I have noticed a sense of calm in myself that has been absent for quite some time. I felt this calm when I first got sober, but aside from that, I think this "calmness" left me at a very young age and I'm...

September 15, 2024 Good morning Reader, and welcome to The Morning Bloom! I hope you will take some time to slow down, breathe deeply and enjoy this newsletter. Have a great week and remember to do something kind for yourself and someone else this week. ♥️ Growing Pains Do you remember when you were a kid and you would wake up in the middle of the night with horrible leg cramps, and your parents said it was just growing pains? Do you remember how uncomfortable it was? How scary it was? I know...
