Rooted Arts

These late blooming Irises have been an incredible gift to me in this season. They remind me of life's surprises, gifts, and our collective and individual capacities to flourish at the least expected times.

Today, on a holiday that focuses on gratitude in spite of it roots in cruelty towards the indigenous Americans who taught early American settlers what was edible in this new land, I am especially grateful for the reminder that beauty can grow from any soil.

And so, I invite you to join me in remembering what has been, staying aware of what is now, and being grateful for all of the beauty that has been, is now, and will be.

Together we can create a future filled with love, beauty, and joy for all, as long as we keep showing up for it.

I love me. 💞 I love you. 💞 I love us. 💞

Paying attention to the cues that our bodies offer us strengthens the bridge between our minds and bodies and supports us in staying comfortable.

I am so grateful watching all of the pollinators work the goldenrod, asters, and the other currently flowering plants.

I love that they lean on my land as a place where they can find nourishment, habitat, or a place to simply rest and restore.

This morning the aspect of rest is particularly catching my attention. We all, every piece and part of nature, need that place where we can restore our bodies, minds, and spirits.

It is the rest stops that allow us to continue our journeys to happy hearts and joyful lives.

And it is by pausing to refill our inner resources that we create enough energy to change our individual and collective circumstances.

I love me. I love you. I love us. 💞

You are like this New England Aster - forming new buds and leaves, blossoming into new flowers, allowing your spent petals and pieces to fall to your feet and nourish your foundation.

Be sure to take time to pour in as much care as you need so the world around you can benefit from your beautiful shine.

I love me. I love you. I love us. 💞

I love me, I love you, I love us. 💞

Join me in October for another Massage Class at Nimbus in Richmond!

This will be the 16hr Massage Techniques for Lower Body Injuries course that I taught regularly before 2020. We're currently offering it at a discounted rate while awaiting NCBTMB approval.

I'm so excited and grateful to be teaching in person massage classes again, I just can't say that enough.
