A Message of Gratitude

And just like that, our October journey comes to a close.

Burn. Bless. Breathe.

Eighteen words. Countless interpretations. Beautiful artwork, shared wisdom, and a community that continues to remind me why we do this.

To my beautiful High Vibe Tribe… thank you for showing up, sharing your creativity, and bringing your own magic to every word. You make this little corner of the world such a special place to land. I am so grateful for each of you. 💞

To Nat, @nwitzcrafts, our wonderful cohost, thank you for helping bring this journey to life and for being part of the creative spirit that keeps our community going. ✨

And to Faina Lorah, @fainalorah, thank you for bringing “Weird Weavings Runic Oracle” into the world. The artwork, symbolism, and feminine wisdom woven throughout this deck have been a perfect companion for our October journey.

This month reminded me that peace isn’t always something we find. Sometimes, we must release, forgive, reclaim, transform, trust, awaken, and keep breathing until we “feel” a little more of it within ourselves.

We may not always be able to change what life has placed before us, but we can continue to choose how we meet each day.

And so, we end where we began,… with intention, with gratitude, and with an open heart.
Thank you for walking this journey with me.

✨May we carry forward what nourishes us, release what no longer serves us, and always leave a little room for wonder.💫

With love and gratitude, always 💞
✨ …one word at a time. 💫

We’re busy preparing the “November Tales” Challenge … I hope you’ll join us.
…Details coming soon!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I continue my journey
in dedication to my son 🙏

Grief changes you.
So does love.
I carry both. 💞

✨ PEACE :: Passion & Wisdom ✨

🌟 Purpose. 🌟 Acceptance. 🌟 Serenity.

I believe we need passion to give us purpose, and purpose to help us keep going. We need wisdom to know what we can change, courage to face what we cannot, and grace to accept the difference. 💞

My journey here began as a way to find healing after losing my son. Four years later, I know I will always carry this grief. I have learned to live with the love and the memories that remain, taking life one day at a time, with my son forever in my heart.💞

This journey has reminded me that peace isn’t about having all the answers. Sometimes, it’s simply learning to breathe, to accept, and to keep choosing life, love, and purpose.

🔥 BURN 🔥 We released what we could.
✨ BLESS ✨ We honored what we cherish.
🕯️ BREATHE 🕯️ We make room for peace.

And so, we come full circle.💫

May we find the courage to change what we can, the serenity to accept what we cannot, and the wisdom to know the difference.

May we each find something that sets our souls alight, something worth nurturing, and a reason to keep moving forward.

Thank you, my beautiful High Vibe Tribe, for walking this journey with me.

One word. One breath. One day at a time.

✨ …and so it is. 💞🍂

✨ Trust :: Kenaz ✨

Inspiration. Vision. Discovery.

I trust the spark within
I trust the unfolding of my own journey.
Even when the path is unclear, I allow inspiration to guide me forward. 🌟

✨ Trust the light. Follow the spark. Believe in the unfolding. ✨

I especially love how Kenaz symbolizes illumination, a torch shedding light into the darkness. We don’t always need to see the entire path ahead. Sometimes, we only need enough light to take the next step.

Trust. Follow. Believe.
✨ …one word at a time. 💫

I honor change.
I cherish time, life and small moments.

My journey began with the loss of my son. I’ve learned that grief doesn’t “heal”; instead we learn to carry it alongside the love, memories and moments that remain.
