This Is My Season - And Yours Too ๐ŸŒฟ


Hello Reader,

What a week it has been. Welcome to May.

If you have been following along on social media this week, you know that this month is extra special for me.

I am turning 57 on May 16, and I have never felt more grounded, more creative, or more grateful for the season I am stepping into.

This week, I shared a lot of my heart with you, and I want to wrap it all up in one place so you do not miss a thing.


On the Blog:

I published a brand new post this week - Confident Woman Energy at 57: Tea, Crochet & A New Season.

In it, I share:

  • What confident woman energy really means to me
  • Why turning 57 feels powerful
  • My love for crochet and the ruffled hats I have been making
  • My herbal wellness journey, andโ€ฆ
  • A personal message to every woman who feels like her best days are behind her.

In the Garden:

This week, I was reminded that your happy place is worth creating, even in a small space, even on a budget, even in a busy season of life.

My container garden continues to bring me so much peace and joy. I started with a few containers and some intentional choices, and it has grown into something truly beautiful.

If you have been thinking about starting your own garden, start with one container. One herb. One small corner that is yours. ๐ŸŒฑ


In My Cup:

Dandelion tea has been my wellness companion this week, and my body is thanking me for it.

It is a powerful plant that supports liver health, digestion, and natural detoxification.

I loved it so much, I started growing it in my own garden to keep it close. ๐ŸŒผ


This Week's Mindset:

The thing I want to leave you with this week is this:

No matter your age or where life has placed you right now, you can still bloom.

You do not need perfect timing, perfect circumstances, or a younger version of yourself.

You only need a quiet, powerful decision to begin. This is your season too. ๐ŸŒธ

Until next week, keep blooming, ๐ŸŒฟ

My Wellness Journey: Why Iโ€™m Choosing Health, Wellness & Food Security at 50+

Hi Reader, I hope your week went well and that you are having a wonderful weekend! ๐Ÿ’š Today I found myself reflecting on the very first blog post I published on my wellness journey, and it reminded me why I started this path in the first place. My wellness journey didnโ€™t begin with perfection or trends. It began with loss, reflection, and a decision to take my health more seriously after losing my mother in 2017 and facing my own respiratory health scare the following year. That season pushed...

Its my birthday

Hello Reader, Today is my birthday ๐ŸŽ‚ and I will be honest with you - this one feels different. It is more intentional than birthdays have felt in a long time. This week, I decided to enter a new year of life on my own terms. Not pretending I have everything figured out. Just slower mornings, simple herbal rituals, and a deeper commitment to listening to what my body actually needs. It has been one of the most grounding weeks I have had in a long time. ๐ŸŒฟ THIS WEEK ON THE BLOG I wrote about the...
