Only in the stillness of silence can you really hear.

Silence creates peace.
Silence creates presence.
Silence is where we remember who we are.

The silence of 125 walking feet is an incredibly powerful sound. Find out what happens when you get that many people committed to peace.

I once bought a collar and underground fencing for our dog. I did a lot of thoughtful research and spent quite a bit of money. Once it arrived, I looked at him, looked at the collar, and realized that I was willing to shock him because I wasn't taking responsibility for properly training and fencing him. I put it in a closet and finally got rid of it many years later. It took a while because I thought about selling it, but ultimately I couldn't visit it on another dog, even if they were not mine.

I just had the most heartbreaking moment with Shea.

The dryer beeped while she was standing beside me, and instantly her whole expression changed. Her mouth tightened, her teeth started chattering, and she looked up at me with pure fear.

No animal should live like that.

Before anyone ever puts a shock collar on a dog, they should have to wear one themselves - while being trained to perform tasks in a language they don't understand. And every time they hesitate or make a mistake, they feel the shock.

Maybe then they'd understand.

Happy Walk For Peace Day!

Today, and every day, I want to remind you to choose peace. Even on the hard days, choose peace.

And no, it’s not always easy, so be kind to yourself. It’s not about doing it perfectly; it’s about remembering that you have the choice.

Choosing it in the ordinary moments, in the hard moments, and in the happy moments.

Hoping you can join us today, in person or in spirit.

Have you ever found yourself feeling guilty for finding a sliver of joy during a time that your heart is breaking?

A small laugh crept out amongst your tears?

A moment of calm amongst the chaos?

Nature flourishes amongst opposites.

Small flowers grow from a rotting log, a mountain can be both bathed in sunshine and shrouded in darkness, the ocean can be calm and still one moment and raging in a storm the next.

Nature teaches us that both can exist in the same space.

You are an animal!

Okay, I know how that sounds (a little bit strange), but seriously, at the heart of things, you are an animal (a mammal). Animals instinctually know what they need and how to get it. They hold ancient wisdom within their veins.

As an animal yourself, you also hold this ancient wisdom, but sometimes our minds get in the way of us following our basic instincts and intuition.

Learn how to tune in and listen to your body’s ancient, animal wisdom as we transition from winter’s quiet reset to spring’s gentle awakening. Discover how to live and flow with the seasons and be guided by your instincts to support your body feeling and functioning at its best.

Once you realize that you have a choice, you have to learn to have confidence in the choices you make.

But sometimes our thoughts aren’t the most reliable source of truth. It can be difficult to know what is really true or not. This frequently leads us down a path of self-doubt and shaky confidence.

So, how can we learn how to release self-doubt and make reliable decisions? How can we vet our thoughts to be sure they are true and reliable?

Moment by moment.
Thread by thread.

These words came to me during meditation and became the foundation of my business name, DreamWeaving Way.

It’s based on the idea that we have choice. If you grew up similar to me, you might not even realize (or maybe it took you a long time to realize) that you even have choice.

But once you do, you’ll see that that single concept is the most profound thing you’ll ever learn.

This week, learn how recognizing choice can transform your life astonishingly. Check out this week's Substack post!

The holiday season can be a time of wonder and joy, but it can also bring stress and overwhelm. Nature's wisdom offers us a different path—one of stillness, presence, and finding magic in the everyday.

By tuning into the rhythms of the natural world, we can find peace and calm, even in the midst of chaos. Whether it's the quiet beauty of a winter morning or the sparkle of lights on a tree, nature reminds us to slow down and notice the magic around us.
