I love to garden and it's always fun to put out produce in the waiting room for my clients to enjoy. Unfortunately, today is probably the last day for the peaches. Hope everyone got a chance to enjoy them! Still plenty of peppers and blackberries for a little while yet though.
Hobbies are so important to our Mental Health! One of mine is gardening. What do you enjoy doing that helps to brighten your mood?

Thank you to Milkmaid Mercantile on Cheney Street in Taylorville who is now carrying my books Ask Me Anything and Getting To Know Us. My books can also be found Uptown on the Square at The Dandy Lion as well as here in the office and on Amazon. They make great gifts!

Let's all give it a try this weekend and see what happens. ♥

🧠 Your mind is powerful.
And whatever you consistently expect, you energetically invite.

So instead of fueling anxiety with what-ifs and worst-case scenarios, what if you imagined the best-case outcome? What if peace, joy, and clarity were your default?

💭 Let’s make hope your habit and peace your practice.
Your nervous system deserves to feel safe in your dreams.
