This Week's Mindful Morsel 🍪 | May 14, 2025 — The energy we bring to self-caretaking
We do kind things for others because we think they’re worth it, but it’s a little too easy to only do things for ourselves out of obligation. However, I don’t do well when I feel like others are treating me as an obligation, so why would I treat myself like that and hope for a different response?
what's your relationship with your body like? - a mindful musing
what's your relationship with your body like?
Our relationships with our bodies can feel intimate and vulnerable and scary; there’s no other relationship like it.

one month + two full moons = double the intrigue! let’s use it to take a deeper look 💜
Lunar Love Letter 🌒 - July 17, 2023
I don’t know what abundance means for me or to me. I know what other people think it means. But none of those definitions feels quite right.
Lunar Love Letter 🌒 - Apr 20 2023
I’ve been leaking energy. Spewing it in places that aren’t worthwhile for me. And not giving enough to things that absolutely fucking are.
Cue re-alignment!✊
I've been reflecting on my basic values: What’s most important? Not to anyone else. But to me. What are my values? What are my priorities? What am I doing to honor those and to act from places that align with those?
I've also found myself looking at some things in new ways.
Lunar Love Letter 🌒 - Mar 21 2023
We’re starting a new lunar cycle that will lead us to the Pink Moon*, the first full moon of the season. This is also when we start (or continue) to see some of the first flowers 🌼 raise their gallant pre-bloom buds towards the sky. Where I am, these are usually crocus flowers, and spotting them is one of my great joys in life right now.
I call them gallant because they are the seasonal pioneers of the botanical world around here. I see their purple and white budding petals pixelate street sides and tree root coves, and I know they are the brave ones 🤺 – the ones that pop out when there will still be winter conditions to contend with.

We’re hitting the third quarter (3Q) phase of this Worm Moon* cycle, and we’re getting closer and closer to the Spring Equinox, and I couldn’t be more excited to see that day.
I. Am. Waiting.
Longingly.
Lunar Love Letter 🌒 - Feb 27 2023
Our last lunar love letter was an invitation to reflect on the last cycle and think about some intentions for this one. How did that go for you? What came up? Did anything feel particularly easy or hard?
Personally, I experienced intense energy around the new moon 🌑. I had a lot of emotions surface simultaneously, and apparently that’s what my body, mind, and spirit needed – to let them bubble up 🌋 and over and out . It was a rough process and not very pretty – but even though growth isn’t all fairy wings and glitter, it’s still fucking beautiful, and I’m grateful to be able to experience it.
