I'm very excited about this next offering here in Rooted in Nature. I am quietly creating it now and it will soon be ready. It's called 30 Days of Saying Hello to the Sun 🌿 This won't be about getting up at silly o'clock or watching spectacular sunrises every day. It's about something much simpler... Stepping outside each morning, taking a few mindful moments to greet the day, reconnecting with nature and discovering how just a little morning light can positively affect your mood, energy and wellbeing. There'll be gentle daily prompts, community encouragement and no pressure to be perfect—just an invitation to build a small habit that could make a big difference. I'm still putting the finishing touches together, but I'd love to know... 🌞 Would this be something you'd like to join? 🌿 What time do you usually wake up? I can't wait to share more with you very soon!

I wanted to share a song with you, a song that I love and cherish. If you want to connect with your divine feminine energy, lean into the idea that women can come together and support each other in the deepest way, then please sit back and listen. It's just beautiful. https://youtu.be/hTP9VS23B84?si=aLpFhUybt0NJB6yd In fact the whole album is wonderful, the band is Ma Muse, and the album is 'Prayers for Freedom' you can thank me later 😉 Music is such an important part of my journey, navigating good mental health in a world where my body and hormones are changing. The world continues on, expecting the same from me, not ready to slow down and just let me discover this new way of being, let the feelings wash over me and allow me to pause so I can adjust to this period of transition. Some days feel bleak and my rage just feels like it could bubble over and take over me. The roller coaster of emotions in peri-menopause has caught me off guard, I had no idea it could feel like this. This week has been difficult, for no reason, or so it seems from the outside. My inner world however is riding a roller coaster. My music saves me every time. I play the music loud, to drown out the intrusive thoughts, and I practice my breathwork. Its stabilising and nurturing, to sing and flow with the empowering words, from and by women who know. I need women around me now more than ever, I need to know society isn't going to start ignoring me because I'm past my fertile years. I need women to tell me its going to be ok, and that the rage will stop. I need to become the wise woman that people turn to when they are in need of healing, because I've taken the time to slow down enough to listen to my own bodies wisdom, and the quiet whisper of the earth to come home. Just be still. To be able to hold space for others who need a steady earth-connected soul to be present for them, and to say "it's ok to slow down" and "you are enough" this will be the purpose I follow, to be someone I am proud of.

A big hello to all the new members 🫶 you are so very welcome here. I hope you all enjoy watching my little video I made while collecting the rose petals for my Self-Love spray. I’m quite addicted to spraying it on my face and body and enjoying the divine scent. It’s totally different to shop bought perfume, which I hate! It’s subtle, natural, feminine, soothing and relaxing. And just look at that gorgeous colour 😍 (see photo) I’ve got my dried petals infusing in Sweet Almond oil ready to make the roll on scent. I hope you all enjoy the process as much as I did. With love from the Hedgerow, Lea. X
