Hey there, friend,
As I’m preparing everything for the Solstice Rhythms Retreat that happens tomorrow night, I couldn’t sleep because of al the things running through my mind that still need to be done for the event.
Contrary to what it may appear, I actually DON’T have it all together for this event and am NOT walking into it with as peaceful a mind as I would have hoped. It’s all the little details that are taking up space in my mind (and in my notebook, computer and planner, if I’m honest), and I haven’t been fully giving my trust over to God that things will all be exactly as they need to be.
Do you ever feel this way?
I mean, I really want to surrender it all, but I still have to play a role in taking action on some things, right?
Right.
And so do you.
We don’t have to do it all, but we do have to be an active participant in life and live in a way that gets us to where we want to be in life.
Even if that destination is fully present in the right here, right now.
As much as I want to provide an amazing experience for retreat participants, my mind sometimes gets in the way and I find myself overthinking the details rather than listening within and aligning with that intention.
But let me let you in on a little secret, Reader…
When you take the time to to stop and be present with yourself, to visualize the outcome you want for whatever it is you’re moving towards in life, and to listen to the inner voice of Truth within you…
…all those details just seem to appear. And you can do the simple work of aligning with and taking action on them without the sleepless nights, and instead with a trusting heart.
But I get it, Spring and Summer are such tough months to catch a pause to do that.
That’s why you have to be intentional about adding them to your life. About creating opportunity to step into the pauses, even it it’s for just 2-3 minutes at a time. And that’s why I offer seasonal res{e}ts like the Solstice Rhythms Retreat happening Friday night.
These little mini retreats give you a reason to pause and reset so you can shine and thrive like the incredible human that you are, without the noise in your head trying to keep you out of your rhythm.
There’s still a few spots left to join us and I’d love to you.
And as an invitation to create your own pauses in alignment with the Solstice, whether you are attending the retreat or not, I want to thank you for being here and give you my Solstice Celebration of Rhythms Planner.
This is not another thing to add to your to-do list on the longest day of daylight in the year, but instead a heart-led invitation to realign with nature and your own inner rhythm.
It’s a mindful guide to honoring nature’s shift… one simple, soulful moment at a time.
And it’s yours for being a part of this community. Thank you🙏

☀️May God’s goodness and light be with me today and always; and may others experience this goodness and light through me.
