This Week's Mindful Morsel 🍪 | December 17, 2025 — for all the yous that have ever been

Happy soft and steady Wednesday 💜

We’ve all been so many beautiful, wonderful, and brilliant people — so many different versions of ourselves on the way to becoming who we are today, and we’re nowhere near done evolving and growing. 

I don’t know about you, but I haven’t always been proud of who I’ve been or where I’ve come from, and I also know that I wouldn’t be the me I am now if it hadn’t been for each of those older versions who have come before.

It’s a good time to love on ourselves and honor our personal histories as we head into the reflective winter season, so today I’d like to offer you a meditation of gratitude for all the people you’ve been.

There is no recording for this meditation — it’s best that you set the pace yourself. Block out some time — at least a few minutes. Create your space — somewhere you can sit or lay down comfortably and sustainably. Decide if daytime or nighttime is the best match for your energy. Maybe light a candle or grab a supportive object. Make yourself cozy.

Then, however you can, connect with the lifetime of all the yous that have existed beginning as far back as you can recall. Visualize them or call upon memories, however feels best to mark time. Maybe it’s by places you’ve lived, partners you’ve had, life events — maybe a hodge podge of whatever wants to flood in. Notice yourself in all those spaces and times — on the way to becoming the you that you are today. Really take some time and breaths to soak it in.

When you feel ready, give all those ancestral versions of yourself an offering — flowers or whatever might feel good — and allow them to give each version of you (including present you) an offering in return. You have all done this together. Though separated by space and time, you are in union with yourself — a whole being and source of your own magic.

When this feels complete for you, take a few deep breath cycles to come back to your now and feel free to revisit this anytime that feels best.

May your reflective season open your heart to all the good you do.

With gratitude and well wishes,
