So thankful for this amazing summer. ☀️

I bought a house, spent time with the loves of my life (my kids & my best friends), visited Naples, FL, for the first time, danced with @wonderfromdownunda (my godson), celebrated our Blythe Speer, and enjoyed Ivey’s gluten-free pizza and her @drinksouthbound margaritas!

So much goodness.
Back to school for me on Tuesday. 📝

824 Meridian St.

What a special project this has been over the past two years as we worked to bring new life to this building. It would have been way easier to tear down as it was in very bad shape after years of neglect. I just really loved the character and history of this house and knew it’d be way more important and fun to resurrect it.

I spent a ton of time thinking and talking with friends about the kinds of businesses that could call it home. More than anything, I hoped it would become a place that brought people together—a space for community, connection, and meaningful conversation.

I couldn’t be happier with how it all turned out. The new owner is an even better fit for this awesome East Nashville neighborhood than I ever imagined, and I will be so excited to see @thebookshopnashville open its doors! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻I’m sooo looking forward to seeing how they finish the inside and add to the exterior spaces.

It’s rare when a space finds exactly the right steward, and this feels like one of those times. I can’t wait for all of us to walk in, browse the shelves, linger a little and enjoy everything this wonderful new addition will bring to our neighborhood. ❤️👏🏻📚☕️

Thanks to @dryden_studio for being an awesome partner and creating such a beautiful exterior. @jahitch Jason Hitchcock and Ross Ullrich, your talent is truly extraordinary. The creativity, vision, and attention to detail you brought to this project exceeded every expectation.

Thanks to Leeland Construction and their all their hard work on helping save this old historic home.

Thanks @klm12379 for jumping in with me and making it happen.

A little bit of life over the last 30ish days 💫✨

It’s Sunday, May 24th, 10:31 a.m. as I’m writing this. I woke up at 8:30 and casually lay in bed, catching up on social media because I now choose to find life-giving moments there. They are there. Sometimes you have to search, and sometimes they are waiting for you.

Then, because we’re on vacation, Ben snuck back into the room to see, hoping that I was finally up. Then it was time for coffee and a cream cheese danish. One childhood breakfast that still brings me joy. Sara Lee was how it all started, and now Publix fills in the gap.

Then I came to the couch at my family’s house in Florida to catch up on emails. We’ve been on vacation since last Monday, and between the whirlwind excitement of this particular week and the re-release of Testify to Love, it’s been the kind of vacation that makes you ask what day it is, because you’ve been lost in the rest and beauty of the time spent.

This vacation Sunday is not unlike most of my Sundays these past nine years.

Nine years ago, my Sundays looked like this: Wake up at 6:30 a.m. Grab coffee. Get ready in 30 minutes (after years of early call times for church services and concerts, I had my routine down to a science). Pick up donuts on the way from Krispy Kreme. Sound check and rehearsal for service at 7:45. First service at 9. Second service at 11. Lunch with a lot of the community at 12:45.

Home by 2:30. Exhausted.

Moments that held a lot of beauty, and plenty that held a lot of expectations.

“Every human has a unique and mystical relationship to the wild world.” — Bill Plotkin. We think he’s onto something. ✨🌱

Because the work of becoming fully human isn’t done in isolation. It happens in the slow remembering that we were never separate from this earth to begin with. That our breath is borrowed from trees. 🌳That our bodies are made of the same stardust as the mountains we climb and the rivers we wade into. 🏞️

So much of the world will tell you that knowing your worth is the finish line. We don’t think it is. WE THINK IT’S THE STARTING POINT. ✨ Because to know you matter is to realize that everyone and everything else does too. And that changes how you move through the world.🌍

To be connected is to be responsible. We won’t tell you what your responsibility is. That’s yours to discover. But we’ll remind you that you have one.🌿

Today, on Earth Day, we remember: we are magic. And so is everything around us. 🌱🌎✨

Today, people all over the world will celebrate Easter.

Some will fill pews. Some will hide eggs. Some will eat too much ham and avoid certain relatives. Some will feel the ache of a holiday that no longer fits the way it used to.

And some of us are learning something different: that we get to choose how we hold a day. ✨

There is something quietly profound about the human impulse to mark time. To say: this moment matters. This turning of the earth deserves our attention. Ritual, whether ancient or invented, sacred or simple, is how we tell ourselves that we are not just passing through.

✨We are participating. We belong to the rhythm of things.✨

Spring doesn’t ask your religion. It doesn’t care about your theological résumé. It just… arrives. The light lingers longer. Something underground stirs awake. The world, without asking permission, begins again.

That’s not a metaphor borrowed from any single tradition — it’s an older truth than most of our holy books. Renewal is written into the earth itself.

So whatever today holds for you: whether you’re in a sanctuary, or a backyard, or somewhere between belief systems, or just grateful it’s Sunday, here’s my invitation:

Will you accept the offer of the season?
Intentionally. Not commercially. Not out of obligation.

Light a candle. Set a table and linger at it. Share food and real conversation with people you love. Take a walk and actually look at what’s blooming. Mark the moment however feels true.

And let something in you wake up. 🌱

💛, Melissa

Celebrated in observance of St. Patrick, patron saint of Ireland — but the magic of this day runs even deeper than that. 🍀

Long before it became a feast day, the shamrock was already sacred in Celtic tradition — representing the three realms of land, sea, and sky, and the eternal cycles of life. Some things are holy long before religion finds them. ✨

What began as a regional feast day in the 17th century has evolved into a global celebration of Irish culture — parades, music, dancing, and a whole lot of green. 💚

The Celts believed in thin places — moments where the ordinary world goes suddenly luminous, where the veil between the seen and unseen grows transparent.

Maybe that’s what a good celebration actually is. ✨

IMAGINARIUM exists to find those luminous moments — together. Today, let the dancing, the laughter, and even the green pint be holy. CHEERS! 🍻

Thirty nine. My last trip in my thirties. It feels weird, and yet such a gift. What a gift to age, to feel secure in who you are, proud of what you’ve accomplished, excited about where you’re headed, and who you’re surrounded by. 29 year old sara would be beaming.
Aging for me, is exciting because I truly think I haven’t peaked yet,- so many things I want savor in life still. but also scary because there’s a lot I still hope for and sometimes it feels time is slipping away for those hopes to happen.
I used to think at this point in my life I’d be married and chasing babies, but instead, I’m chasing different dreams, adventures around the world, fitness goals, corporate girly-ing, a more analog life, surrounded by the best family and friends. My heart rests easy, full of contentment and gratitude, yet remains open to the magic that life brings.
Each year I choose a word that sets the theme for the year, it helps guide me and stay in alignment with the life I want to live. This year my word is Explore:
-Explore my relationship to myself as I continue to push my mind and body to new heights
-Explore new ways of dating, off apps, and perhaps outside my type
-Literally explore more of what’s around me - more micro-adventures across Tennessee
-Explore what it looks like to partner more with my local community to build a better world
-Explore new ways of hosting, having fun, and going deeper with my people
And overall, exploring just how good it can get when you continue to show up as your fullest, most authentic self.
Cheers to thirty nine and dare I say - feeling just fine 💜
