Sunday Morning Thoughts 💭 …
This morning I have a whole lot on my mind, so we’re just going to ramble a little.
These last few weeks I have really been moving through some blockages in my spine. Layers and layers of chemical, physical, and emotional stress that have built up over decades. And let me tell you, the emotions that have been coming with it have been a LOT.
Things coming up that I haven’t thought about in years. Some things I don’t even know where they’re coming from. Memories, emotions, feelings that I thought I had worked through a long time ago. And I can’t help but think that all of the transitions happening in our lives right now are playing a part in that too.
Because even beautiful changes come with emotions.
If you’ve been wondering why Serenity One Sanctuary isn’t at the Spirit of Wyoming expo this weekend, I want to talk about that.
I have been doing the Spirit of Wyoming Expo since it started. I was proudly one of their biggest vendors, and I know in my heart that Serenity One Sanctuary brought a whole lot to that event over the years. From our tribe who followed us out there, to the new people we met, to the people who eventually walked through our sanctuary doors and became part of our family.
We grew right alongside that show.
And this fall, we made the decision not to participate.
There are so many reasons behind that decision, and I could probably go on forever explaining them, but when I really sit with it, it comes down to one thing.
A chapter of our lives is closing.
And I didn’t expect that to feel quite as emotional as it has.
For roughly six years, this was part of what we did. It was part of how we connected with people, how we shared what we were building, and how we introduced people to the magic happening at Serenity One Sanctuary.
And even when you KNOW closing a chapter is the right thing for your future, even when you know it’s necessary for you to continue to rise, it doesn’t mean you don’t have to work through the emotions that come with it.
I’ve actually struggled with feeling like I was letting people down by not being there.
I’ve had so many people reach out to check on us, wondering where we are and if everything is okay.
And that’s what I want you to understand.
Everything is okay. Everything is actually so incredibly beautiful.
This morning I woke up on a Sunday without the stress of having to be at the Events Complex all weekend. Without having to pack up half of our sanctuary, haul it across town, set it all up, work the show, tear it all back down, and then put our sanctuary back together again.
Instead, yesterday we got to celebrate Chelsie and highlight her beautiful new space and everything she brings to the sanctuary.
And THAT is where I want our energy going.
We’ve reached a place in our business where we no longer have to pack everything up and take it somewhere else to show people what we’ve created.
Because you’re already coming through our doors.
You’re showing up. You’re bringing your friends, your families, your loved ones. You’re trusting us with your stories, your healing journeys, your celebrations, and sometimes the hardest chapters of your lives.
And we are BUSY!
So busy within the walls of our sanctuary that continuing to do vendor shows just isn’t feasible for us anymore.
Now, that’s not to say you won’t see us pop up somewhere here and there, because you probably will. But our focus moving forward is bringing all of that love, connection, excitement, and activity INSIDE the sanctuary walls.
And doing it bigger than we ever have.
We are coming up on SEVEN YEARS of Serenity One Sanctuary being open.
SEVEN YEARS!
And this Black Friday, we will officially step into our EIGHTH year.
Now, if you know me, you know I pay attention to numbers and their meanings. And the number eight represents abundance, expansion, personal power, and success.
How fitting is THAT for where we are in our lives right now?
We’ve spent seven years building, learning, growing, struggling, celebrating, and sometimes just figuring things out as we go.
And now we’re stepping into year eight with a completely different vision of what Serenity One Sanctuary can become.
I want this to be our year of expansion. Not necessarily expanding outside of our walls, but expanding everything that happens WITHIN them.
I want more people to experience Spinal Flow and begin understanding just how much our nervous systems influence our physical and emotional well-being.
I want people to discover what can happen when we begin supporting our nervous systems, reconnecting with our bodies, and giving ourselves permission to work through all those layers we’ve been carrying.
Body. Mind. Soul.
I see beautiful things happening on my tables every single day. I see people beginning to reconnect with themselves, finding confidence, finding peace, and learning to listen to their bodies again.
And I want to keep sharing that with as many people as I possibly can.
But I don’t want to do it alone.
I want to do it with YOU. Our tribe.
We currently have EIGHT different vendors within Serenity One Sanctuary. Eight magical makers bringing their creations, talents, and love into our space every single day.
And that doesn’t even include everything Chelsie and I bring to the sanctuary ourselves!
And then there’s Chelsie. My sister, my business partner, and such a huge part of the heart of Serenity One Sanctuary.
I don’t think people always realize just how much she brings to our space. Her intuitive gifts, her readings, her creativity, and the way she connects with people on such a personal level. She has this beautiful ability to sit with someone, listen, and help them find clarity in things they may have been struggling to understand.
And then there’s everything she creates with her own two hands. Her malas, bracelets, jewelry, and all the magical creations that come from her imagination and her heart. She puts so much thought and intention into what she does, and I love watching her ideas come to life.
Yesterday we got to celebrate HER. Her new space, her gifts, and this next chapter she’s stepping into. And I can’t even begin to tell you how much that meant to me.
Because Chelsie deserves to be seen and celebrated for everything she brings to the table. She’s not just someone who does readings at the sanctuary. She’s helping build this dream right alongside me. We bounce ideas off each other, create together, make decisions together, and figure things out as we go. We have our moments, because we’re sisters after all, but at the end of the day, we both love what we’re building and the people we get to share it with.
And watching her grow into her own space, her own confidence, and everything she’s capable of has been one of the most beautiful parts of this journey for me.
I’m so proud of her, and I’m excited for people to continue discovering everything Chelsie has to offer.
And then there’s Beth, bringing her own magic to the table every single day. She’s up front helping you find exactly what you’re looking for, taking the time to walk you through those conversations when you’re not quite sure what you need. She’s in the back watering our plants, taking care of all those little things that make our sanctuary feel like home, and most importantly, she shows up for Chelsie and me every single day.
And I don’t think she realizes just how much that means to us. She’s become such an important part of what makes Serenity One Sanctuary what it is, and we are so grateful for her.
Jaden coming in to offer palm readings. We can’t wait to introduce you to her.
And we’re going to keep growing those opportunities. More experiences, more ways to connect spiritually, more opportunities to explore healing, more reasons to walk through our doors and spend time with people who just GET you.
I want our sanctuary to continue being a place where you can come exactly as you are.
Where you can connect with others.
Where you can find your people.
Where you can begin finding your own worth again, that confidence that may have been hiding for years, and that love for yourself that so many of us have spent a lifetime trying to discover.
And I want to make sure I take a moment to give a HUGE thank you to Spirit of Wyoming and the wonderful humans behind it.
Thank you for everything you’ve done for me, for Serenity One Sanctuary, for our community, and especially for our spiritual community.
You created a beautiful event that brought people together and gave so many of us an opportunity to share our gifts.
I am incredibly proud to have been part of it all these years.
Thank you for believing in me, trusting me, supporting me, and allowing us to grow alongside you.
I can’t wait to see where you take it next, and I will always be grateful for the part you played in our journey.
I think that’s part of what I’ve been working through these past few weeks.
Realizing that you can be so grateful for something, love what it gave you, appreciate every person involved, and still know that it’s time to move forward.
You can be excited about what’s coming and still feel emotional about what’s ending.
And maybe that’s why all these old emotions have been finding their way to the surface lately. As I’ve been working through those physical layers in my spine, I’ve also been working through the emotional layers. The things I’ve held onto, the things I’ve outgrown, and the things I’m finally ready to release.
I don’t have all the answers to where those feelings are coming from, and I’m okay with that.
I’m just allowing myself to feel them.
So if you’ve been wondering where we are this weekend…
We’re HOME.
We’re giving some time back to ourselves.
We’re giving our energy to the sanctuary we’ve spent nearly seven years building.
And we’re putting our hearts into making it everything we know it can become.
Because the sanctuary isn’t just Chelsie and me. It’s our makers, our clients, our friends, and every single person who has walked through those doors and helped create what it is today.
It’s ALL of us.
And when I really think about it, I find it pretty incredible that we’re closing out our seventh year, closing chapters that helped get us here, and preparing to enter a year eight that represents everything we’re working toward.
Abundance. Expansion. Confidence. Growth.
Not just for our business, but for the people who walk through our doors.
Seven years sounds like such a long time when I say it out loud. I think about everything we’ve been through, everything we’ve overcome, the people we’ve met, the friendships we’ve made, and how much our lives have changed.
And yet, somehow, it feels like we’re only just beginning.
So thank you for growing with us. Thank you for supporting our changes, even when they mean doing things a little differently than we have in the past.
And thank you for continuing to walk through those doors.
Here’s to finishing year seven with gratitude and stepping into year eight with abundance, love, connection, and some pretty big dreams.
I cannot wait to see what we create together. 🫶😘
