“Comparing what you see during an eclipse to the darkness at night is like comparing an ocean to a teardrop.”

“The moon does not fight. It attacks no one.
It does not worry. It does not try to crush others. It keeps to its course, but by its very nature, it gently influences. What other body could pull an entire ocean from shore to shore? The moon is faithful to its nature, and its power is never diminished.”
~Ming-Dao Deng

Every year, I choose a personal theme—something that guides my decisions, mindset, and energy throughout the months ahead. It’s not a resolution... it’s a powerful intention that helps me stay focused no matter what life throws my way.

This year’s theme? Well, let’s just say it’s inspired by something as powerful and fluid as water.

Curious?😏

✨ If you’re wondering how to choose YOUR own theme for 2025 or want to know mine, check out the full post (link in comments)!

Take a moment and take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your mouth….. Repeat this 3 times.

Tonight’s full moon in cancer is an emotional one. So if you’ve been feeling the heightened emotions and like situations have an exclamation point on them you’re not alone. Take time to breathe, meditate and ground yourself.

If there's one habit we should all establish it's regular breath work or pranayama. Setting aside just 2-5 minutes a day to consciously stop and connect with our breath can bring focus and calm. This breathing technique described is called Anulom Vilom, also known as Nadi Shodhana or Alternate Nostril Breathing. This is an ancient yogic technique that’s as effective as it is simple. This pranayama (breathing practice) involves alternating breath through each nostril, and it's been shown to support a variety of health benefits including stress relief, blood pressure reduction, sinus congestion relief and decreased anxiety.

Here’s how to do it:
1 Sit comfortably with your spine straight and shoulders relaxed. 🧘‍♀️
2 Close your right nostril with your right thumb.
3 Inhale deeply through your left nostril. 🌬️
4 Close your left nostril with your right ring finger, and release your right nostril.
5 Exhale slowly through your right nostril.
6 Inhale deeply through your right nostril.
7 Close your right nostril and exhale slowly through the left nostril.
8 This completes one round. Repeat for 5-10 rounds, focusing on slow, steady breaths.

Our yoga practice truly begins when we step off our mat and face the real world. Incorporating these breathing techniques off the mat can be extremely beneficial. Doing this practice before a big meeting, before going in to a family gathering or even before a doctor's appointment can help lower anxious feelings and tap back into the present.

Start with 2-5 minutes a day to get the benefits of this ancient practice. It’s an easy resolution that can transform your daily routine and help you master your mind, body, and breath

“Don’t think the garden loses its ecstasy in winter. It’s quiet, but the roots down there are riotous.”
— Rumi ✨

The stillness of winter is often a time of quiet growth, just like the energy of the Capricorn New Moon—a perfect moment to plant the seeds for the year ahead. 🌑🌙
Instead of rushing into New Year’s resolutions, I like to spend this time reflecting, grounding, and setting intentions that will grow with steady determination over time.
If you’re ready to dive deeper into how the Capricorn New Moon tap the link in my bio to read more on how to harness this powerful energy for the year ahead.
And drop your NYE plans in the comments below, I love to hear traditions and plans!

✨ "This is the solstice, the still point of the sun, its cusp and midnight, the year's threshold and unlocking, where the past lets go of and becomes the future; the place of caught breath, the door of a vanished house left ajar." — Margaret Atwood ✨

The Winter Solstice is a time to pause and reflect, standing at the threshold of darkness and light. It’s a moment where the year’s past and future meet — a time for introspection, letting go, and welcoming renewal.

How do you celebrate this quiet turning point in the year? Whether it’s through journaling, lighting a candle, or simply sitting in the quiet of nature, this day invites us to slow down and listen.

Last full moon of the year! Enjoy the beautiful sky this evening as we approach the darkest day of the year.

✨ Can you believe it’s already here? With Thanksgiving being so late this year, it feels like the holiday season is coming at us faster than ever! There are only 30 days left until the end of the year—how did that happen?! 🙈✨

As the days count down, I’m taking a deep breath and reminding myself to slow down, soak in the little moments, and enjoy the magic of this time of year. It’s easy to get caught up in the rush of things—holiday shopping, planning, parties—but the beauty of the season is in the small moments. Whether it’s cozying up with a cup of cocoa, spending time with loved ones, or even just enjoying the twinkling lights, there’s so much joy to be found in the present.

Some of my reasons for loving this time of year is the traditions, and I LOVE to hear what other families do, so, what’s your favorite holiday tradition (or even your LEAST favorite)?

“The sky is never the same shade twice and neither is your heart. The moon has never apologized for hiding some nights and neither should you. The stars have never stopped shining because someone wanted them to and neither should you. The earth has never stopped moving, growing, evolving for anyone and neither should you.”


Welcome to the full moon and lunar eclipse. For musings and journal prompts, you know where to go 😘 (if you don’t drop me a 🌙 in the comments).
