From my newsletter this morning:

Dear friends,

I have good news and bad news:

Bad news: Winter is more than halfway over!!
Good news: Winter is already more than halfway over! Parking is getting easier every day at our office!!

Other things to celebrate:

The Year of the Snake to the Year of the Fire Horse

Today, February 17th marks the Chinese New Year! The transition from the Year of the Snake into the Year of the Fire Horse marks a shift from inner wisdom to purposeful movement.

Snake energy invites reflection, discernment, and release. It's a time of shedding what no longer serves and listening closely to our inner guidance. Much of its work happens quietly, beneath the surface.

The Fire Horse brings momentum, courage, and vitality. It asks us to act on what we now know moving forward with confidence, integrity, and heart. This is energy that supports aligned action rather than impulsive change. Together, this transition reminds us that clarity comes before movement. What we released during the Snake year creates space for the Fire Horse to carry us forward with strength, freedom, and intention.

Lent
Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday, marking the beginning of Lent. This year, I'll be observing the season with greater intention. As part of my Lenten practice, I'll be stepping away from social media (as well as alcohol and coffee!) to create more space for prayer, fasting, and study.

I will be out of the office from Monday 2/23 - Friday 2/27. This pause is not about absence, but about making room for what truly nourishes my heart. I look forward to returning on Monday, 3/2 with renewed clarity and deeper faith.

Other news:
After much thought and reflection, I've decided to step away from teaching yoga. This has not been an easy decision; our Mondays and Fridays together have truly meant the world to me. I'm beyond grateful for the loyalty, trust, and energy you've brought to class week after week.

To make sure my students have plenty of time to use their existing class passes, I'll continue teaching through the final classes on May 18 and May 22.

Thank you to my treasured yoga friends for being such a special part of this chapter of my life. I'm incredibly grateful for the time we've shared on the mat. Practicing with you has been an absolute honor, and I'll always carry our community with me.

As always, I am so thankful for your continued support. I am truly blessed to be so busy, and that is because of your trust in me for your massage therapy, yoga, and functional training practices.

I will be holding each of you in gratitude as we move into this new season. I pray it will be one of renewal, courage, and grace for us all.

In Health,
Stephanie

Love this!

In Irish, there’s a gentle word you don’t hear very often: Sásamh
(pronounced SAW-suv, with a soft “v” at the end).

It means contentment, or deep, quiet satisfaction.
Not the loud, chest-puffing kind of pride.
Not arrogance.
Not showing off.

Just the soft feeling of looking at your life, your work, your children, or your own reflection and thinking,
“Yes. This is good. This is enough for today.”

In the old Irish stories, heroes weren’t perfect.

They were brave one day and frightened the next.
They won great battles, and then turned around and made terrible mistakes.
They got lost. They failed. They had to start over more than once.

And still, the bards sang about them.

Not because they were flawless, but because they kept going. Because they tried. Because they grew. Because they were human.

Somewhere along the way, many of us learned a harsher lesson.
That we shouldn’t feel proud unless everything is perfect.
Unless the house is spotless, the work is finished, the children never struggle, and we never fall short.

We look at other people’s lives, other people’s homes, other people’s children, and we start measuring ourselves against them.

But comparison is the thief of joy.
It steals the quiet victories.
It blinds us to how far we’ve already come.

So if the word pride feels heavy or uncomfortable, maybe try this one instead:

Sásamh.

That quiet, steady feeling of contentment with your own journey.

If you woke up today and won an Olympic gold medal,
I hope you feel a deep sásamh.

If you finally quit smoking,
I hope you feel that same quiet sásamh.

If you cleaned your whole house top to bottom and organized it just the way you like it,
that is worthy of real, honest sásamh.

But you know what else?

If you didn’t… you still deserve it.

If all you did today was one load of laundry,
there is still sásamh in that.

If all you managed was a couple of jumping jacks,
that effort still holds sásamh.

If you bought one pack of ci******es instead of two, because you’re trying,
there is real sásamh in that step.

If all you did today was open your eyes when all you wanted was to keep them shut…
there is deep, quiet sásamh in that too.

Your work matters.
Your effort matters.
Your small steps matter.

You are not only the distance you still have to go.
You are also the miles you’ve already walked.

And that deserves to be honored.

So take a breath.
Look at your life with gentle eyes.
And allow yourself a little sásamh.

You’ve come farther than you think.

✨Winter Solstice Blessings☀️

From my heart to yours…

Today is the longest night and the darkest day of the year for the Northern Hemisphere. It feels like a quiet pause, doesn’t it? A chance to breathe deeply and just be. And with this stillness comes a beautiful promise—that starting tomorrow, the world will begin to brighten, little by little. The Sun is returning. ☀️

I love how the Winter Solstice reminds us of the balance between light and darkness. It’s such a gentle teacher, showing us that even in the deepest quiet, there’s always a spark of life, a rhythm that nurtures us, even when we can’t see it.

The days will grow longer, slowly but surely. Even during the often cold and shadowed months ahead, there’s this soft whisper of spring, reminding us to hold on and stay open to the beauty that’s coming.

Precious Sun…
We welcome and honor your return. ☀️

In ancient times, people gathered in warmth and community, lighting candles and fires to celebrate the light’s slow return and to call hope back into their hearts.

But here’s the thing: even if you find yourself alone today, I hope you know that this day holds its own quiet magic for you.

✨May you feel surrounded—not just by light, but by a sense of wonder, comfort, and connection.

I hope you can feel, even in solitude, a soft and nourishing embrace—a warmth as if the midwinter fairy herself has come to sit with you. I imagine her wrapping you in a gentle breeze of love and care, her presence reminding you that you’re never truly alone. This night, and this season, are filled with a magic all their own, just for you.

Wishing you something heartwarming, tender, and deeply aligned with this midwinter moment. We are all part of this great turning of the seasons, this endless cycle of creation and renewal.

With love and light this Solstice,
☀️✨ Warm winter blessings to you.
