Be Well Mel

02/18/2026

✨🙏✝️🧧🎊🌚As we step into the opening of Lent, the Chinese New Year, Ramadan and a new moon I can’t help but feel we are standing on the edge of a super-charged spiritual awakening.

When we look back across history, so many sacred traditions align through the practice of fasting — each expressed differently, yet all rooted in the same intention: creating closeness with God, Spirit, the Universe, Christ. Different languages… one deeper truth.

This season feels deeply aligned with the work I guide women through every day.

Lent isn’t just about giving something up — it’s about creating space.
Space to listen.
Space to soften.
Space to reconnect with the quiet wisdom within.

Fasting, when approached with intention, becomes more than physical — it becomes a soul connection. A doorway to divine messages, deeper intuition, and the gentle clarity that comes when we slow down enough to truly hear ourselves.

This is exactly why I created Ready Set Reset — not as a restriction, but as a SACRED reset for your body, mind, and spirit. A way to clear the noise so your inner guidance can rise.

If you’ve been feeling the nudge to begin again… this could be your moment.

✨🙏 Less forcing.
✨🙏 More listening.
✨🙏 More alignment.

Live. Eat. Think. Be Well.
🙏🤍 Be Well Mel ✝️

🧧🎊🐍 The Snake asked us to shed.
To release what was heavy.
To outgrow old skins, old stories, old timelines.

And now… we move forward. 🐎🔥
Happy Chinese New Year — welcome to the Year of the Fire Horse.

This is not forceful, masculine hustle.
This is feminine momentum — intuitive, grounded, fully present. 📿
Movement rooted in knowing… not proving.

The Snake gave us clarity.
The Horse brings courage, motion, and forward energy.

Not push harder.
Not shrink smaller.
But to move with grace toward what feels aligned.

Calm. Present. Unshakeable.
Power doesn’t have to be loud to be unstoppable.

🐎 It’s go time — led by intuition, not pressure.

Live Eat Think Be Well 🤍🔥

🕊️ 💕☮️Today feels hopeful meaningful in many ways.

As I reflect on the monks walking across the country for peace, Valentine’s Day upon us and the Metta Prayer being widely shared my heart goes back to my dear late Aunt Kathy — a warrior, a human rights advocate, and someone who embodied love and resilience through more than 25 years of battling cancers.😔

When she passed we all honored her in our own way. I wanted to share what she had shared with me - Her interested in buddhist teachings - One being meditation and the Meta prayer. With a broken heart 💔 I stood in front of the people who loved her most and led this loving-kindness meditation — words that felt simple, but carried so much weight in hopes her memory and work would live on.

✨ May I be filled with love and kindness.
✨ May I be well.
✨ May I be peaceful and at ease.
✨ May I be happy.

😌I am deeply grateful to see this prayer being shared so widely in these tumultuous times. These are lessons I had the privilege of growing up with — reminders that love, compassion, and peace are practices, not destinations. And this is the way to solve what matters.

😌And truthfully… not every day looks peaceful on my insides.
But mindfulness keeps bringing me back to the same knowing:
peace begins within, and each of us has a role in cultivating it — in our own hearts and in the spaces we hold for others.

🤍This is why we practice.
Not to be perfect.
Not to bypass the hard things.
But to return — again and again — to presence, to breath, to love.

🤍 Self-love isn’t selfish. It’s the foundation of how we show up for our families, our communities, and even strangers we may never meet.

💟Today, whether you’re celebrating love, remembering someone you miss, or simply moving through the day — pause for a moment.😌

Place a hand on your heart.😌👋🤍
Take a breath.
And offer yourself the same kindness you so freely give to others. Start with self!
And from me to you -
May you be well.
May you be peaceful and at ease.
May you be happy.
And remember to
Live Eat Think & Be Well
💟
Mel

Let Your Word Find You- This week isn’t about choosing faster — it’s about listening deeper.
A word doesn’t need to be forced.
Sometimes it finds you when you slow down enough to hear it.
I’m sharing a few reflections and journal prompts in today’s newsletter for anyone who wants to explore a word to walk with them this year.
No rush.
No pressure.
Just curiosity and care.

Happy New Year - Today We Begin Where We Are 1/1 🤍
Today isn’t about fixing, forcing, or figuring everything out.
It’s about beginning where you are.
After all the shedding, reflecting, and closing of the year, this day asks for something softer — integration, presence, and care.
No rush.
No pressure.
Just a gentle start.
May this year meet you with steadiness, nourishment, and support — one intentional step at a time.

The Year of the Snake: The Ultimate Shed 🐍
This year, we shed. We don’t force.
As we step into a new year, the symbolism feels clear — real transformation doesn’t come from pushing harder, it comes from releasing what no longer serves.
Happy New Year 🤍
