“In the toughest of times, the smallest joys become the brightest stars guiding us through the darkest nights.”

Hey there,

As we navigate through the ebb and flow of life, the world seems to continuously present us with challenges and uncertainties. In these moments of turmoil and unrest, I find solace and strength in the little things — the moments that truly matter — the laughter of my family, the warmth of a cozy meal, and the comforting chaos of a full house. (I am so thankful all three kids are home for the Thanksgiving holiday).

In the midst of all this chaos, I’ve been taking a step back to appreciate the real treasures in my life — my amazing family and friends, and the simple joys that make every day special. It’s these moments that remind me of the immense power of gratitude and the beauty of finding joy in the little things.

One of the practices that has been an incredible source of calm and clarity for me is my nightly meditation practice in the legs up the wall pose. 

Picture this: dim lights, a flickering candle, and diving into a peaceful state. It’s like hitting pause on life’s hectic demands, giving me a chance to breathe and find some calm amidst the madness. This practice has been a game-changer, helping me unwind and shake off the day’s stress, setting the stage for a good night’s sleep.

But you know what beats any solo practice? It’s those shared moments with my loved ones that lift my spirits the most. Maybe it’s walking in nature, running a Drumstick Dash, playing a board game, or cooking up a storm together, these simple moments of togetherness fill my heart with so much joy.

In the face of all the uncertainty out there, let’s hold on tight to these precious moments. Let’s revel in the warmth of family bonds and the beauty of being together. Because you know what? Connecting with others reminds us that we’re not alone in this crazy world.

I encourage each one of you to take a breather in your own way — whether it’s through meditation, spending quality time with loved ones, or just soaking in those small joys that bring a smile to your face. Those little moments might seem tiny, but they’re the ones that truly add color to our lives.

Let’s continue to support and uplift each other, finding strength in our unity and appreciating the things we often overlook.

Wishing you all peace and love this Thanksgiving!

In health,
