“There is no hurry.There is no rush.There is only the slow, steady unfolding.”— Octavia E. Butler A gentle reminder for today: growth doesn’t need to be forced. Notice what’s unfolding at its own pace—in your body, your work, your relationships. What might become possible if you trusted the timing just a little more? or maybe you have a different quote you want to share?

I missed centering today and have been really not practicing this week as I manage a convergence of family and work situations. What is clear is I should be practicing more during times Of heighten stress. I am Traveling and back to committed practice

I want to share a brief update and invitation as this space continues to take shape. This community was originally created as a home for the Rooted in Healing podcast. We’ve decided to pause the podcast for now, with the intention of revisiting it in the fall. Rather than closing this space, I felt it was important to keep what’s already growing here alive. Going forward, this community will live under the Hope Reimagined umbrella—a place for practice, reflection, and connection. What you can expect over time: - Community practice spaces (forest bathing, centering, somatic and embodied practices) - Opportunities to learn together in accessible ways - CEU-eligible offerings in the near future (I am a CEU provider) - A mix of free community content, with optional premium spaces for those seeking deeper connection and learning For now, this space is free, relational, and in emergence. Nothing here is finished—this is the beginning of something that will evolve with care, pacing, and integrity. Thank you for being part of this early chapter. Your presence helps shape what this becomes.

I have created a new category, a space to uplift people, programs, and communities doing meaningful healing and care work. While Skool community can be a part of this, the idea behind Rooted Spotlights highlights practices grounded in relationship, embodiment, justice, creativity, and connection to the living world outside of Skool. This is where we honor what’s working, learn from one another, and stay nourished by collective wisdom and possibility. The first highlight is Soulfire Farm. This is a powerful organization doing incredibly important work in the world.

@Susan Andrien asked me to put this up. I'm Susan's Mom and she's sitting next to me helping me to figure this all out. Here is a song her sister made during the pandemic and I often send it to friends who may need it. I listen to it often.
