Happy Galentine's Day!

Hopefully this poem brings a smile and reminds you that letting go — and reconnecting with your inner awesomeness — is time well spent. It also becomes a little easier to let go alongside your people. Because you know that they know, how great you are, without saying a word.

Safire Rose - She Let Go.

She let go.
She let go. Without a thought or a word, she let go.
She let go of the fear.
She let go of the judgments.
She let go of the confluence of opinions swarming around her head.
She let go of the committee of indecision within her.
She let go of all the ‘right’ reasons.
Wholly and completely, without hesitation or worry, she just let go.
She didn’t ask anyone for advice.
She didn’t read a book on how to let go.
She didn’t search the scriptures.
She just let go.
She let go of all of the memories that held her back.
She let go of all of the anxiety that kept her from moving forward.
She let go of the planning and all of the calculations about how to do it just right.
She didn’t promise to let go.
She didn’t journal about it.
She didn’t write the projected date in her Day-Timer.
She made no public announcement and put no ad in the paper.
She didn’t check the weather report or read her daily horoscope.
She just let go.
She didn’t analyze whether she should let go.
She didn’t call her friends to discuss the matter.
She didn’t do a five-step Spiritual Mind Treatment.
She didn’t call the prayer line.
She didn’t utter one word.
She just let go.
No one was around when it happened.
There was no applause or congratulations.
No one thanked her or praised her.
No one noticed a thing.
Like a leaf falling from a tree, she just let go.
There was no effort.
There was no struggle.
It wasn’t good and it wasn’t bad.
It was what it was, and it is just that.
In the space of letting go, she let it all be.
A small smile came over her face.
A light breeze blew through her.
And the sun and the moon shone forevermore…

A New Chapter for Salt & Stillness

Beginning April 1, Salt & Stillness will be moving to a beautiful new space in Rockland, overlooking the harbor near the YMCA.

But until April 1, I will still be at my current location. No interruption of services!

This sweet peninsula will always have my heart — but to continue growing and serving clients from all across Midcoast Maine (especially through our long winters!), I needed a space that’s more accessible year-round.

The new location offers easy parking, room to expand into more yoga, breathwork, meditation, and specialty offerings — and the same deep exhale you’ve always known here.

And don’t worry — I’m not leaving St. George.
I’ll still be teaching at the gallery, and this season’s art shows will be fabulous as ever.

This isn’t goodbye.
It’s a widening of the circle. Plus now I can walk to Olive Rose Chocolates and Stone Alley Brewing after work :)

With gratitude,
Alexa

I wanted to share something close to my heart.

After a long and meaningful journey, my meditations are now live on Insight Timer. These practices come from years of personal practice, teaching, refining my voice, and trusting the timing.

They’re completely free, and I would truly love for you to listen, rest, and receive whatever support you need in this season.

How to find them (link in bio):

1) Download the free Insight Timer app (there is an amazing paid version as well but you don't need it to access my free tracks)

2) Tap the 🔍 search icon

3) Type in my name

Choose a meditation and get cozy. Please leave a review if you enjoy the practice. This allows me to continue to provide new tracks.

Have a peaceful day!

This picture reminded me that our minds spend only about half their time in the present moment. When they wander, they often turn toward negative thinking—a natural survival instinct. But living in constant defense is exhausting. It creates unnecessary stress, affects our immune system, and leads us into patterns that no longer serve us.

Valentine's Day? - who care what day it is... if we shift just a few mindful moments toward our heart every day, we help the way our brain reacts to negative thoughts. Stay open. Starting with your heart.

Bad News? - I will be closed on Saturday, Valentine's Day. I need to hang out with Jerry!

Good News? I am open on Sunday February 15th, a far more lovely way to make this a Valentine's Weekend.

You are busy all weekend? Fantastic. Gift Cards don't expire and can be used at your leisure. Hop on saltandstillness.com to purchase online or give me a call and I will hook you up with a paper card.

These pictures are from 7 years ago in Maryland. One is me (looking like a thug) on route to the spa to delivery a Giant Teddy Bear and the other is one of many dear clients that enjoyed spending time with the bear before their treatment. They popped up on my phone and always make me smile, hope you smile too!
