Good Morning! βοΈ
I'm standing here brewing a 2nd coffee and listening to the stampede of elephants upstairs (my children playing π) and feeling grateful for this moment of relative calm and quiet β¨
Ok, full disclosure, this was past tense because now I'm here writing a post, and I'm no longer sitting in the calm π€ͺ
But in that moment, albeit fleeting, I found the opportunity to breathe deeply and intentionally. To sit in gratitude for a moment of harmony between my children, and a moment of pause for myself. I took a moment to check in with my energy, my nervous system, and intentionally released the tension I was still subtly holding from the last bout of conflict between the kids. Then I held gratitude for the journey that has brought me to a space where I notice and take full advantage of these small pauses (most of the time π).
Tomorrow we celebrate Thanksgiving, and gratitude is on everyone's hearts and lips at this time of year. I wanted to touch base with the reminder we all need at times that gratitude isn't seasonal and doesn't have to be big. Gratitude is a rewiring that we can nurture all year, through gently noticing the things we appreciate throughout our day. Gratitude journaling is fantastic, though I've never been consistent. I prefer the simplicity of allowing a deep breath when I'm in a place of pause and noticing what's beautiful about the moment I'm experiencing. Perhaps it's a headache that's finally ceased. Maybe it's the movement of branches in the wind out a nearby window. Maybe it's a special someone who has helped you carry your load in this life.
β¨ I still have a few spots available this Friday, and would be honored to share in a session with you or a loved one who may benefit from showing themselves some gratitude.
π·οΈ30-minute sessions for $40 are only available on this day, so if you're interested in this discount, my remaining availability is bookable online at:

I'm excited to connect with those who've already booked!
Thank you all so much for being here, and I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving full of love, laughter, and good food! π¦
