Some souls just seem familiar. Like maybe we have known each other longer than this lifetime.

That is why I added the cardinal to this picture. That is my fourth baby. My last and only son. He is now a teen.

I have always said he felt like an old soul to me. I have never really called myself a “boy mom.” I am just a mom to four very different humans, and I truly love all four of my children the same. Three girls and a boy.

Two of my four children and I just seem to understand each other a little more naturally. Not better. Not more loved. Just easier.

Like maybe we have known each other longer than this lifetime.

That is why I added the cardinal to this picture. I have always believed cardinals can be little reminders that someone we love is still near. And part of me also believes that maybe souls find their way back to us in different lifetimes when they know we are going to need each other again.

Some. people walk into your life and feel new and some feel like they came home. ❤️

Some souls never really leave us. They return in signs. Sometimes I believe , in the people we were always meant to find again.

Spiritually, cardinals are often seen as symbols of love, presence, reassurance and remembrance.

The Northern Cardinal is Kentucky’s State bird. Oddly enough I do not see them often. It actually feels like it has been awhile. But I have a woodpecker that has been showing The spiritual meaning of a woodpecker centers on persistence, steady rhythm, and the courage to dig beneath the surface to find hidden truths. ❤️

This wall is growing! 🤪 Music 🎵 on and it is satisfying like carpet lines when you vacuum. But I have no carpet. 😂🤷‍♀️

I needed this reminder today from the 🐝 Bee.

🐝 Bees are always moving, always working, always building something. And I can really relate to that right. I have been busy bee working on something brings my heart joy and I hope others. It is not new. Others exist out there. But they are not my voice and experiences. I have overwhelmed myself with all my ideas. 💡

But what I like about the bee is that all that work eventually creates something sweet.

I think sometimes we get into seasons where it feels like we are doing a lot and not seeing much from it yet. And I often give up and follow the path that has been traveled and it feels like security. But sometimes not the security our mind and heart need. I am trying ideas, changing things, starting over, figuring myself out, taking care of everyone else, and wondering if any of it is actually leading somewhere.

It will only go somewhere if I do not stop! That has been my problem. Maybe not every season is about seeing the finished result.

Maybe some seasons are just about gathering what we need.

Learning. Trying. Creating. Resting when we need to. Starting again when something does not work. Maybe not every season is about seeing the finished result.

Maybe some seasons are just Learning. Trying. Creating. Resting when we need to. Starting again when something does not work.

Sometimes the sweetest things take a little longer. I am still figuring it out and still here! 🐝

❤️Sometimes we sit in places that feel like cages, not realizing the door is open and waiting for us to trust our wings again. 🪽

Notice what still makes you curious. What still makes you hopeful. What still feels a little magical.

There are so many chapters in between the big moments.❤️❤️❤️

Pause where the sweetness is hummingbird symbolizes joy, resilience, adaptability, and spiritual presence.

Joy and sweetness. Hummingbirds represent finding delight and appreciation in life's small, everyday pleasures.

Resilience and Strength.
They might be tiny with delicate wings. But they symbolize endurance through hard times.

Bump ❤️

I have an idea 💡 I’m finally ready to stop just talking about and actually begin.

I love that we can connect instantly online, 💻 but somehow I think a lot of us feel less connected than ever. We see the highlight reels. We see the negativity. We see so much information that it can become hard to find the real human being underneath all of it.

I want to bring something slower back: letters ✉️ But this isn’t quite a traditional 🐌 snail-mail club.

I want to write real letters. I am not going to tell you all the details just yet. ❤️ But probably since June this idea 💡 has evolved. I love stationary. I love pens 🖊️ And honestly I miss going to the mailbox 📪 and getting a letter. All I get is flyers these days!

I’m looking for 5–10 people who want to help me begin. You will be my founding people. The first ones through the doorway.

There is nothing polished or perfect about this yet. That’s actually the point. I want you to help me discover what this can become.

If you’d like one of my first letters, send me a private message. I’ll tell you a little more and get your mailing address.

Maybe we can create something that reminds people that even in the chapters between where we were and where we’re going, our stories still matter.

The porch light is on. ❤️
