  • Carrying The Light

    Today, I choose to share my podcast.
    This one is offered to close out a year
    filled with so much noise and uncertainty.
    Through it all,
    I decided to stay focused on light,
    searching for beauty.

    I turned off the news
    and found my truth by walking the woods.

    I embraced creative potential,
    forcing myself to keep learning,
    keep trying new things.

    Creating is my way
    of breathing healthy air.
    This year, that meant
    self-publishing a book,
    writing songs,
    and producing a podcast.

    What will the new year bring?
    Who knows.

  • Release the Rush

    There are days
    when the world
    seems to move
    faster than I can follow.

    .
    Lists multiply,
    expectations
    stack themselves
    heavily on my shoulders, 

    and suddenly—
    even without meaning to—
    I find myself rushing
    from one moment to the next.

    But rushing
    rarely
    brings me
    closer to peace.


    If anything,
    it pulls me
    farther from the heart
    of what matters.

    So today,
    I give myself permission
     to pause.
    Just for a minute.

    Just long enough
    to feel the ground beneath
    my feet again.
    I will close my eyes.
    Take a slow breath in.

    Imagine
    gathering all the scattered pieces
    of my attention
    and bringing them home.

    Then, on the exhale,
    I’ll let the rush go—
    like snow slipping softly from a branch.
    Let it fall away.

    The world will keep spinning.
    My tasks will still be there.
    But I will be different—
    steadier, calmer,
    anchored
    in the quiet strength
    that comes from choosing presence over pace.

    Release the rush.
    Return to yourself.

  • Winter’s Silent Beauty

    Winter teaches us the quiet art of simplicity.
    When the world slows,
    and the landscape softens
    beneath a blanket of snow,

    Distractions fade.
    The branches, once full, now stand bare—
    nothing extra, nothing hidden,
    only what truly belongs.

    In that stillness,
    we see what remains
    when all is stripped away:
    shape, essence, truth. 

    It reminds us
    that life
    doesn’t need to be full
    to be beautiful. 

    Sometimes,
    the truest beauty
    is found in the pause,
    in the hush between moments.

    Simplicity
    doesn’t mean emptiness—
    It means space.
    Space for light to enter. 

    Space to rest.
    Space to notice
    what we might have missed
    in the rush of other seasons.

    So, when the world
    feels quiet and still,
    don’t rush to fill it.
    Let winter’s silent beauty
    speak softly to your soul.


    There is peace in simplicity, and grace in the quiet things that remain.

  • November’s Whisper

    The rustle through golden leaves
    cools the air,
    tilts the sun toward
    early rest.

    The month of transition
    a gentle reminder
    that change can be
    beautiful,

    That letting go
    can be graceful,
    that stillness
    has it’s own quiet song.

    Remember now,
    to pause
    long enough to hear
    November’s whisper.

  • River’s Quiet Strength

    A river does not rush to prove itself.
    It simply flows — steady, patient, unwavering.
    When rocks block its way, it doesn’t stop.
    It finds a route around.

    When the path dips low,
    It now moves a bit slow
    But then gathers strength
    From solid ground.

    And
    it keeps moving ahead.

    We can carry on, too.
    Without force or hurry
    Trusting the path,
    Winding as it may be.

    Like the river,
    We are stronger than we think.
    Keep moving.
    Believe.

    Trust in the Universe
    There’s nothing to dread.

  • The Light You Carry

    Sometimes we underestimate
    the quiet ways
    we bring light into the world.

    A smile to a stranger.
    A kind word that lingers.
    Maybe simply showing up.

    We don’t have to shine like the sun
    to make a difference.
    Sometimes we’re just a flicker of light.

  • Begin Again

    Every morning, the sun rises without hesitation.
    It doesn’t hold on to yesterday’s storms
    or worry about tomorrow’s clouds.
    It simply begins again.

    We, too, are invited to start fresh today.
    No matter what weight we carried yesterday.
    This is a new chance.
    Let the light in.

  • The Trees Teach Us

    The trees never cling to their leaves.
    When the season shifts,
    They let go.
    Gracefully, without fear or regret.

    Each falling leaf is a quiet lesson:
    There is beauty in release.
    What we shed creates space
    For things we haven’t experienced yet.

    Today, we can learn from the trees.
    Let go of one small thing —
    A worry, an expectation, a burden.
    Be the leaf. Don’t be upset.

    Letting go is not loss.
    It’s trusting in the reset.

  • Morning Sun On Quiet Waters

    The sun doesn’t ask for applause.
    It simply arrives, steady and true,
    spilling its colors
    across the stillness of the lake.

    Like the sun,
    we can choose
    to rise again today ~ quietly, gently,
    without demanding recognition.

    Just the act of rising is enough.

  • Come Find Your Light

    In our book, Come Find Your Light, we wrote:


    “There are times when life feels heavy, when shadows linger, and hope seems far away. In these moments, the light may be hidden, yet it is never gone. It waits–patiently–ready for us to notice, to reach for it, and to be renewed.”

    We believe that truth still holds. Whatever you’re carrying today, notice the small sparks around you. Maybe it’s the kindness of a stranger. Perhaps it’s the color of a falling leaf or the comfort of a familiar song. They are all light, guiding us quietly forward.
