“Plant your own garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.”
This is my favorite line from the poem After a While, which I found tucked inside my grandma’s favorite cookbook that I kept after she passed. It’s a line I’ve come back to many times over the years.
At this past weekend’s retreat, we spent an evening around the campfire talking, sharing stories, and debating how to get our marshmallows just the right amount of toasty for our s'mores 😂
As I reflect on my first time co-leading a retreat, I keep thinking about the women, the connections we made, and a message that came through repeatedly in the Akashic Records: follow the light and joy, and see where they lead.
With the Big Dipper perfectly positioned above us, I thought about all the little breadcrumbs that led us there and wondered where they’ll lead us next. A good reminder to follow your own North Star, plant your own garden, and see where the journey takes you ✨
