Dancing & embodying...

Ok, friend... I have a really neat exploration to share with you this week (that I absolutely love to focus on), buuuuuuut I don’t want to put it into words on the internet at this time. It’s nothing dramatic or scary or super vulnerable or anything... It’s really just… interesting… and neat… and special to me. And as someone who shares a lot of her innermost thoughts and experiences here (plus on the blog and on Facebook) week after week, for the whole world to be able to se

Lymphatic flow…..

I hope you had a wonderful week. I always LOVE vacationing with my family, but knowing I’ll get to Aya with you when we get back really helps me love coming back home too. :) We’re currently driving back, and all this sitting has me thinking it’d be great to revisit a focus we explored a couple of years on our lymphatic system. We’ll move & help keep everything flowing…. yesssss! I wrote quite a bit about this focus back in 2024 (when I was falling wildly in love with all thi

Ease & just being here now.

Oh my goodness, friend! What a month Maycember was. :) :) We explored sensing togetherness, dance as me time, and sensing our elasticity & spring-loaded ease…. whew! Suddenly, June is here! This week, we’ll come back to our monthly integration focus of “ease & just being here now.” This beautiful focus always has 2 parts to it: Part 1: Ease We’ll dance (and move as vigorously as we’d like) while inviting ease into our body. Ease in your shoulders. Ease in your feet. Ease in

Nourishing our elasticity & sensing spring-loaded ease.

Welcome to Part 8 of our series on Cultivating Organic Fitness! Hello, my friend! I’m so excited for this focus… This week, we’ll be nourishing our elasticity & sensing spring-loaded ease. Ok, so that’s a mouthful. :) Basically, we’re gonna tap into our springy-ness. Why? We’re incredibly fluid, spacious, dynamic, responsive, adaptable, mobile beings! Beneath our skin lives something so beautiful and intelligent: a vast, living web of interconnected muscles, bones, ligaments

Dance as "me time."

Wow, friend. I heard the term Maycember for the first time this past week, and boy did it resonate. This past week many of you mentioned feeling similarly…. Mostly… really really BUSY. Work, weddings, graduations, sports, spring concerts, finals, end of school-year busy-ness… plus the nicer weather and the desire to plant the garden, the need to mow, and the urge to go on fun adventures…. Not to mention all of the unexpected not-so-fun things that can also arise that require

Returning to ease & just being here now.

Y'all, last week’s discussions were just what my heart needed. Thank you. After the past few weeks deep-dives into Flexibility, Gratitude, and Full-spectrum Living, this week we’re coming back home to ease. Ease as in the opposite of hard. Ease as in the opposite of struggle. Ease as in the opposite of dis-ease. There’s a time and place for embracing the hard and effortful... the growth and improvement…but these “ease” weeks are here to remind us to also: • soften into onenes

Living a full-spectrum life.

Ooh, friend. I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on this one... One of our son’s (homeschool) projects this year was to write the history of his life so far. It was a BIG project --- part photo-book, part autobiography. He spent months working on it —hours choosing photos, writing about moments of his life, and designing the entire (150-page) book through Canva. His book is beautiful, and I will forever treasure it. But as we sat together to proofread it one day before sendin
