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

A plan, a fresh brew, and two ruffle hats

Hello Reader, I am sitting down at my desk today with a hot cup of Cuban Oregano tea - bold, aromatic, and deeply comforting. On my crochet hooks this week? Two statement ruffle hats (one crisp white, one classic black) for a queen. Over on the blog today, I am sharing a real reflection on Purpose-Led Growth at 57. The quick takeaway: Having a solid plan does not mean knowing every single step ahead. Real confidence is not about rigid certainty; it is about holding a steady compass, trusting...

Oregano Herb: How to Grow It, Brew It, and Enjoy Its Benefits

Hey Reader, Happy Sunday to you. I hope you are easing into the day with something warm in your hand and a little quiet before the week picks up speed. I am starting this new week with a simple intention. My cousin recently brought home an oregano plant, and I have decided I want to grow my own from it, right here in my backyard container garden. I plan to take a cutting from her plant and see what it takes to root it, grow it, and eventually brew it into tea. I do not have all the answers...

Letter from the garden - wellness and tea - newsletter

Hello Reader, How have you been? I hope your week was all that you desired and more. This week reminded me that some of the most meaningful growth happens quietly. There wasn't a big milestone or dramatic breakthrough. Instead, there were small moments that made me pause and smile. I have been away from home for a little over a week. As such, I miss watching my herbs grow, harvesting fresh green mint for another cup of tea, and taking time to be present. I will get back to it soon, though,...
