The Quiet Whisper

The Quiet Whisper I hold space for grief, truth, and transformation. For those done performing healing. Not everything here is soft. This work asks something of you.

I offer presence, not escape.

A great reminder!

I’d love to hear…..what are your favorite ways to cleanse?

What items do you reach for when you cleanse your space?

It has been a minute since I have last posted. I have had health issues that have had me taking a break from social media.

I have been using this time though to take a more in depth look into my practice and focus on the things that have been grabbing my interest.

For a while I have been wanting to do a deeper dive into all things herbal. So that meant I needed to go through books I had on my shelves here at home and also books I would like to add. I've found a love for audiobooks, so I was very surprised to see many options offered on Libby. If you haven't utilized Libby, I cannot stress enough to do so! It is free to access through your local library.

I landed on this book The Apothecary of Belonging: Seasonal Rituals and Practical Herbalism is a book by Alexis J. Cunningfolk.

I am truly enjoying the idea of approaching herbalism not just as a collection of herbs and their uses, but as something that can become part of a deeper seasonal practice.

One of the things that resonated instantly with me was the way the author speaks about the elements and the idea of being balanced or unbalanced within them. I was drawn to this because it gave the perspective of not just looking at the elements as being separate concepts but considering how they show up within us and how we can recognize when something feels out of balance.

This is exactly the kind of deeper exploration I have been craving in my practice 🌿✨

I absolutely LOVE being able to support other women owned small businesses. 🖤✨I recently placed a small order with another amazing small business and when it arrived I was so excited!!!

It’s witchy, it’s cryptid, it’s fun, and the prints she created are SOOOO good. 🧹🌙✨

I cannot wait to add these pieces to my booth; The Quiet Whisper this fall. And honestly… I’m already thinking about what I want to order next…..Because I need a few of these items for myself too 😉

✨✨✨One of my favorite parts of building this little business has been discovering and connecting with so many incredibly talented women who are creating their own magic.
Supporting each other makes this whole journey even more special ✨✨✨

I cannot wait to share more items that I will be including in my booth. Whether they will be part of my decor or for sale, I am so excited with how everything is coming together!

Maybe the magic was here all along. ✨ Sometimes we just have to slow down enough to notice it. 🌅

A sunset. A quiet evening. A moment to breathe.

Not every kind of magic asks to be found. Some of it simply asks to be noticed. ✨

Funny how some of the loudest opinions I’ve heard about my body and what I wear have always come from people who apparently thought they were entitled to have one. 😂

“You really should wear something that covers your stomach.”
“That’s not very flattering.”
“You’d look so much better if…”
And my personal favorite: “No offense…” 🤣🤣 Listen….. If you have to start a sentence with “no offense,” maybe just don’t say the offensive thing.

But seriously, one thing I’m working really hard on is not letting other people’s opinions of me dictate how I choose to express myself. And yes, that includes clothing. Body positivity doesn’t mean I have to love every single thing about my body every single day. It means I’m learning that my body doesn’t need to be hidden, apologized for, or dressed according to someone else’s definition of “flattering.”

I’m allowed to wear the things that make me feel good. I’m allowed to take up space. I’m allowed to have fun with fashion. And I’m allowed to exist in a body that doesn’t look the way someone else thinks it should.

So yes, I’m going to wear the damn outfit. I’m going to enjoy myself. And if you don’t like it…well, as the video clearly shares………

No offense. 😉 🤣🖕🏼💃🏻

I’ve really been enjoying this tarot and book set, so I wanted to share it with you all. I plan to make this a regular series…..sharing items I truly love working with in my practice ✨

One of the things I appreciate most is that it includes a companion book that actually walks you through the cards. Whether you’re just starting to learn tarot or you’ve been reading for a while, having that extra guidance can make such a difference.

If you’ve used this deck, I’d love to hear what you think! And if you have a favorite tarot deck, tell me in the comments…..

I always enjoy hearing what others are working with. ✨

This makes me so happy to say…. 🥹 I’ve shared the link in the comments if you’d like to take a closer look. Thank you so much for supporting what I do 🖤

⁉️Did you know ancestor work doesn’t always have to happen at an altar?

It isn’t only rituals, offerings, or divination. Sometimes it’s as simple as watching a movie or TV series they loved. Hearing a song they always sang. Making a family recipe. Picking up a hobby they passed down. Reading their favorite book, or just smiling when something instantly reminds you of them.

My Mama loved Murder She Wrote. I always knew that once I heard Jessica Fletcher’s voice, she was in for the evening. I was only six when the last episode aired, but I understood why she loved it. Jessica wasn’t waiting to be rescued or told what to think. She was curious, intelligent, and never afraid to ask questions. Looking back, I think that’s exactly what my Mama admired because that’s who she was.

These days, watching it on our analog TV feels like more than nostalgia. It feels like sharing a quiet evening with someone I still miss.To me, that’s ancestor work too. We keep the people we love close through the stories, the songs, the recipes, the traditions, and the little pieces of them that continue to live through us.

So, take 30 seconds and enjoy a little clip from one of my Mama’s favorite series. I hope that it will remind you that ancestor work doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s. It can just be watching that favorite series that your ancestor loved 💜

Twenty years of being judged, misunderstood, prayed over all without my permission, talked about instead of talked to, and made to feel like I had to defend my existence. I spent years trying to prove I wasn’t the person you decided I was.

To the people who’ve spent years deciding who I am, what I believe, and whether I’m worthy: your opinion stopped being my burden a long time ago. If my life offends you, that’s yours to reconcile. I’ve spent too many years carrying shame that never belonged to me.

Keep talking if you need to. I’m going to keep living a life that feels honest, rooted in love, compassion, and peace. Your judgment was never my calling.

My peace is

If you relate to this, hear me when I say this: keep being you. Don’t ever lose sight of what makes you you. The people who love you for who you truly are will find you. No one has the right to dictate what brings you peace, joy, or happiness. Your life is yours to live.

🖤Black is often misunderstood 🖤

Many see it as a color of endings or hiding. But to me, black has always reminded me of boundaries, protection, and grounding.

20 year old me would have looked at this dress and immediately found so much wrong with it. I would have worried it showed too much. I would have fixated on every little imperfection on my body, feeling like this outfit highlighted every single one.

36 year old me is different…..My body has changed in ways I never could have imagined. It has carried me through loss, healing, chronic illness, an accident that changed my life forever, and a 100 pound weight loss. My body is not perfect, and never will be…..but perfection isn’t what I was chasing.

I was chasing acceptance…..being able to look at myself and love the body I was in. I can confidently say that one of the gifts of growing older is beginning to understand that my self worth is not dictated by others. My self worth is how I see myself.

🖤 I also want to share that the necklace and earrings I’m wearing are the same ones I wore to my junior prom just about twenty years ago 😳 This was the time my husband and I first started dating. I thought that was amazing that after all of these years I’ve still kept them.

And with the color correspondence of Tuesday: Black 🖤 I choose protection…from the old mindset that used to tell me I wasn’t enough. That my body needed to meet a standard society deemed was the only form of acceptable.

I hope that this empowers you to choose YOU. To know your worth and to embrace it. Authenticity looks amazing on you!!! 😘

Thank you Foxblood Shop for being so size inclusive. Being able to wear some thing that I feel confident and empowered in is an amazing feeling 🖤🖤🖤
