The baby squirrels are having a blast playing in the beautiful maple tree next to the deck, and munching on maple seeds. They're so fun to watch!

The opposite of triggers, look for the glimmers instead.

Squirrel babies!! 😍

Although we'll be closing up the space their mama found to build a nest in the roof above our front deck (after they move on), it's so fun to watch them play together. Quietly and patiently sitting in the corner of the deck, I could only get 3 of them together on this video, but we're pretty sure there are at least 4 of them.

The front door has a full length window which has been camped out by our 3 cats as the squirrel babies taunt them with their play time. 😼😂

Join us for a 'Resilience Reset'

Often we think healing is about learning how to tolerate and move through pain.
But many of us already became experts at surviving hard things.

The real challenge is learning how to feel safe enough to experience peace… joy… rest… connection… without waiting for it to disappear.

That kind of healing changes everything. 🤍

You are not broken. You adapted to hardship so you could survive. And now you deserve the chance to build a life that feels softer, steadier, and more fulfilling.

This is the work I do through Embrace Head and Heart — helping people rebuild resilience, emotional stability, and self-understanding in a practical, compassionate way.

🌿 If this speaks to you, Resilience Reset registration is now open.

My excitement is "building" (hehe pun intended!)! Each year, we grow a little more. This new out-building will offer a bathroom and small kitchen to tent-ers attending our overnight retreats. ⛺️

Join Kirstey and I for this immersive and transformative retreat from the day-to-day grind.

Maybe healing isn’t about fighting yourself so hard anymore.

What if it’s about slowly turning your attention toward the parts of you that still want to live, connect, laugh, rest, create, and trust again?

What you focus on grows.
And after years of hardship, many people don’t realize how disconnected they’ve become from themselves until they finally slow down long enough to notice it.

That’s why I created the Resilience Reset Retreat.

A space to put the weight down for a while. A space to soften enough to hear yourself again.
To reconnect with the self underneath the stress, pressure, and challenging years. Because sometimes healing starts the moment you stop trying to hold everything together alone.

If your body has been asking for rest, softness, clarity, or change… this may be your sign 💛

Registration is open. Message me for details.
