The summer solstice is a celebration of light,
not just around us, but within us.

It marks a peak of growth,
a moment of clarity,
and a sacred turning point.

As the sun stands still,
nature invites us to pause,
to reflect,
and to realign with our inner fire.

In this season of abundance,
we are reminded to shine brightly,
to live fully,
and to honour the ever-turning wheel of change.

Let the light guide you gently forward,
toward the truest and wisest expression of yourself.

Mother’s Day is beautiful. But it can also be heavy to many. It’s not always filled with flowers and breakfasts in bed. Sometimes, it’s filled with grief. With longing. With what could have been.

So this Mother’s Day, let’s hold space for more than just celebration.

For the moms in the thick of it, unsure if they’re getting it right.
For the ones who have lost a piece of their heart in the form of a child.
For those holding a positive test and a thousand emotions.
For the women who ache for a baby they’ve never held or one they had to say goodbye to too soon.
For those who have lost their moms and feel the weight of that absence a little more today.
For the stepmoms, the chosen moms, the second moms, and the mother figures who love just as deeply.
For the ones in between, wondering if they fit into any of these boxes.

You are not forgotten.
You matter.
You are so deeply loved.

No matter what your Mother’s Day looks like this year, I see you. I’m thinking of you. And I’m wrapping you in love.

Have you ever seen a fairy garden in the wild? 🍄🍀🧚‍♀️

🧚‍♀️ Have you ever seen a fairy garden in the wild? These mystical circles (aka mushroom circles) can appear on lawns, forests, grasslands, and rangelands.

While they look like something from a fairytale, their formation is quite scientific 👩‍🔬!

Here’s how they form:

🍄 A fungal spore grows into a mycelium, an underground network of threads.
🍄 The mycelium sends out hyphae (tubular threads).
🍄 The hyphae form a circular mat underground.
🍄 Mushrooms grow up from the mat, forming an above-ground circle!

Avoid mowing your lawn during the month of May to increase floral diversity and food sources for our pollinators 🌸🪻🌼🐝🦋🐞🐦

Lily of the Valley is a spring flower closely associated with May Day. The dried leaves can be used medicinally, as a heart remedy and a diuretic, but should only be used under the supervision of a qualified professional.
