The Soulful Way

04/30/2026

Several weeks ago, the hubby and I were evacuated from a store because of a gas leak. The interesting part? I could smell it right away. I knew we needed to leave even before the fire department arrived, but I didn’t. (And in fairness, my husband lost his sense of smell from COVID, so he wasn’t much help in that moment.)

What I find so fascinating is this: if I had been alone, I would have turned around the moment I walked in. I would have trusted that something wasn’t right. So why didn’t I listen to my intuition?

Because it would have affected someone else.

Even now, at almost 60, there are still moments when I question my inner knowing—especially when I think it might inconvenience or impact someone else. Honoring the quiet whispers within (or in this case, the undeniable screams!) is still something I’m learning to trust. And I don’t always get it right.

But here’s the thing: even if nothing had been wrong, what mattered most was listening to what felt right for me in that moment. Choosing myself—even if it might inconvenience someone else. Next time, I’m going to try harder to trust that voice within and speak up. Because that, to me, is The Soulful Way. 🌿🤍✨🧭

Hello, beautiful souls! 🤍

I chose the Work Your Light Oracle Deck by Rebecca Campbell this week because it felt like we could all use a reminder to keep shining our light, and this card delivered exactly that message. It invites you to embrace your wonderfully “weird” light and let it shine unapologetically. When you do, you give others permission to do the same, while attracting the people meant to find you.

The first thing on this card that caught my eye, beyond the soulful women coming together, was the presence of dolphins. These playful creatures symbolize joy, harmony, freedom, and even spiritual guidance—qualities that feel especially important to reconnect with right now.

If this message resonates with you, take a moment to tune in to the support you need and give yourself permission to receive it simply by being who you are.

May this final week of April be filled with soulful guidance, light, and a little more play! 🌿✨🌸

Oh how I love a Self-Care Sunday!

In a world that constantly keeps going, there is something so powerful about choosing to pause. Not because everything is finished, but because you matter in the middle of it all.

When you create space to rest and simply be, something shifts. Your nervous system softens. Your thoughts settle. Your heart remembers what it feels like to breathe a little deeper.

May this Sunday invite you back to the simple and sacred practice of caring for yourself. 🌿✨🤍🌸

When was the last time you took yourself on a date? It’s something I started doing years ago, and as you can probably tell from this morning’s photo, mine often involves food. But it’s about so much more than yummy zucchini muffins!

Taking myself out has boosted my confidence in ways I didn’t expect. It nudges me out of my comfort zone and, more importantly, has become one of the most meaningful acts of self-love—learning to truly enjoy my own company.

I can’t recommend it enough. Visit your favorite coffee shop, wander through a museum, or catch a movie solo. You might just discover it’s one of the simplest (and most powerful) ways to lift your mood. 🌿✨🤍

This morning, a post by Sara Haines showed up in my Instagram feed with the message: “If you want to take care of tomorrow, you need to take care of today.”

I really do try to stay in the present moment, but I’ll be honest, lately I’ve caught myself getting a little ahead of things—thinking about my vision for The Soulful Way once I finish my trainings later this summer.

This post felt like a gentle reminder from the Universe that when I tend to each day with care, everything else will fall into place. Maybe it’s the reminder you needed today, too! 🧭

Wishing you a soulful, present, and beautiful day! 🤍✨🌿

Hello, beautiful souls! 🤍

Instead of recapping this week’s message, I felt called to share a little about oracle cards. For those who may be new to them, oracle cards are more prescriptive than predictive—they gently reflect current energy and offer loving guidance in the present moment.

You’re always invited to take what resonates and leave the rest. Your path is your own, and your free will is always honored. So often, these messages simply affirm what your heart already knows.

If this week’s reading speaks to you, may you embrace the energy of a beautiful new beginning.

Wishing you a soulful week ahead! 💖✨

Ah, judgment … such a deeply human experience. It’s something we all do, which is why it’s so important not to judge ourselves when we notice it arising. Awareness, without criticism, is where the shift begins. 🤍

You can explore the practices in these slides when you catch yourself criticizing yourself or others—but one of the most powerful tools I’ve woven into my own life is Hoʻoponopono. Whenever judgment surfaces (even when it doesn’t feel like it’s “mine”), I gently repeat:
“I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.”

This simple yet profound practice helps me release heavy emotions, take responsibility for my inner world, and return to a place of love—for myself and for others. 💖✨

Hello, beautiful souls! 🤍

This week’s collective oracle card reading comes from Denise Linn’s Soul Coaching Oracle Deck, with illustrations by Scott Breidenthal.

As I was shuffling, the card FLOW popped out, and I immediately felt a sense of calm wash over me. Maybe it’s the nature lover in me, but there’s something so soothing about its imagery.

Even though the skies in the card appear slightly stormy, they’re beginning to clear—symbolizing that whatever feels heavy or uncertain may be starting to pass. Clearer, lighter days are ahead!

This feels like an invitation to soften … to let go of what we’ve been holding, to allow ourselves some much-needed rest, and to trust the natural rhythm of things.

If you can, spend a little time in nature this week. Breathe deeply. Simply be.

Wishing you a soulful week! 💖✨

I once had a conversation with a woman who lived by the beach. I remember telling her how lucky she was to see the ocean every day. She told me she hardly noticed it anymore, which really stuck with me. It made me realize how easy it is to stop noticing the beauty that’s all around us.

Since then, I try to slow down and pay more attention to the simple things—the ordinary miracles we can easily overlook. Like the blossoms on this cherry tree on a chilly spring day! To me, this is one simple way to live more soulfully. 💖✨

Changes are coming! For years, I’ve been on a deeply personal journey—learning, growing, and reconnecting with myself in ways I never expected. I’m finally ready to share more of what I’ve discovered along the way. Here’s to new beginnings! 💖✨

For most of my life, I tried to hide my sensitivity. It made me feel different, and I was often labeled “too sensitive.” Being surrounded by people who didn’t understand me was hard—but losing myself in the process was even harder. Now, as I approach 60, I’m continuing to learn what it truly means to be a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) … and to embrace it. If you’re highly sensitive, please hear this: It’s not a weakness. It’s a deep, powerful strength. 💖✨
