I hope this letter finds you well and gives you a moment for a peaceful pause in your daily routine.
I have not written much these past 12 months as I, along with most others I presume, felt the almost constant crumbling of the world we once knew, witnessing atrocities against humanity and the planet itself daily, leaving a void bigger than I could have ever imagined of despair in its wake.
I looked for hope and silver linings… and thought many times to come on here and suggest that to you too… but many times hope seemed mysteriously out of reach and it took everything in me to feel the peace in the passing clouds in the sky, the warm embrace of the sun beaming through my bedroom window… the inherent beauty and dance in the trees swaying in the wind.
For most of 2025 written words of comfort and guidance seemed obscured in my mind.
Tonight, as I was cleaning out my office area in my home, I found a prayer I had written a while back. As I read it, it lifted my heart and seemed like just the words I had been searching for. I felt so much peace emanating from these words, I am so excited to share them with you.
The beauty in connecting with the earths vibrancy and its medicine of love, and drawing it forth – is the basis of this prayer.
I hope it resonates with the hope and light within you as much as it reawakened it within me and if it does please repeat it often as a meditation.
Before you read it I encourage you to take a few deep breaths with your eyes closed, allowing the breath to soften your heart space before continuing. Once ready, re-open your eyes and read below.
I honor the rain that spirals itself all over the Earth, giving life and growing love in every corner.
I celebrate the Sun that nourishes all things and illuminates the darkest corners of existence.
I cherish the dirt and the mud, the ground beneath me, the soil of this Earth for sustaining and opening its arms to us.
May we honor the elements: the rocks, the trees, the water, the wind which hold the wisdom of billions of years on this planet.
May we quiet our minds to hear their knowledge.
May we feel our skin sinking into the Earth.
May we open our hearts to all of existence with the same love that we pour forth to our lover.
May we awaken this journey of love.

With so much going on in the world that escalates fear, rage, and hopelessness – it feel more important than ever to plant and nourish seeds of peace and love. This is one way to help nourish that energy within you and to help you spread it outward.
If you would like to come in for acupuncture, yoga, or a nature-based soul coaching session please be in touch. I find all of these offerings as well helps to nourish and reconnect us to the fountain of love, healing, and peace within us.
With love and in partnership,
