Check out what Jen’s been up to at the shop! 💎

I like to hand pick most items in person and really get a feel for their quality, their uniqueness and their history, which mines they came from and from which countries. I have some fun things coming up that I’ll tell you about below but first learn about Ammonite and why I chose these pieces.

*Ammonites are marine mollusks with spiral shells, fossils found worldwide, dating back 240 million years.

Piece number one, I love anything opalized! Opalization takes place when silica-rich waters replace the shell's material, creating shimmering, iridescent surfaces—like natural opal inside rock. This piece is so cool!

The second piece, I just couldn’t pass up because its center is deep and it’s like a bowl. I don’t find them like this often.

Third (not included in the photos) is UV-Reactive Ammonite meaning some contain minerals that glow under UV light due to their unique chemical makeup, making them glow in the dark!

I’m really excited about the month ahead!

It can take years to establish a well rounded reputable and ethically minded supplier list and a bit of traveling. I’ve met so many great people along the way. This week I have a meeting with Micheal & Eliud. Eliud is a supplier from Brazil and is heading to his warehouse here in the states. I’ve gotten incredible clear quartz pieces from him in the past for the shop. We have some incredible geometric pieces from him in the shop now. My focus this time though is Tangerine Quartz, Alexandrite and Pink Tourmaline. I can thank my rockhound friend Nick for that connection.

I’m also excited to meet with a new supplier I recently connected with when she stumbled upon my page. They seem great and I’m truly excited to establish that connection.

Then last but not least I will be closing the shop one day this month to head across state and dig for Wisconsin Moonstone.😍 Wish me luck because I’d love to hit a honey hole and bring some back for the shop.

As a reiki practitioner I have FELT and witnessed what higher frequencies can bring to one’s life. To have a dream, to manifest, to surround yourself with people who whole-heartedly support you and your goals. When you start aligning your goals with your actions, your tribe with your values, that’s when true magic happens. Can it be hard? Yes. Will there be real world obstacles? Of course, we are humans living in a complex world!

The magic? When you set a goal and start living as though it has already happened - it will happen. Life might zig zag to the finish line, it might not go as planned, you might take a detour or 4… but your mind and your tribe are already celebrating your success, and THAT’S where the magic is! ✨

I have been so fortunate to watch Jen pursue her dream as the owner of a wellness boutique. She had a dream, and she has been working HARD at making it reality. She pours her soul into her boutique! When you walk through the doors, that frequency is FELT,💓which is why it’s been such a prime location for me to provide amazing reiki sessions for the last 2 years.

I’m excited to share that River & Rain is expanding to be more accessable online! The finishing touches aren’t quite complete yet, but she aims to have her website up and running in September. 👏 What does this mean? She will be utilizing more shop space to have an office in the back and I will be transitioning all of my reiki sessions to my location in Winter, WI. I am truly happy for her and grateful for the time I’ve been able to provide session in her beautiful boutique 💚. I will keep my clients posted through the transition process. For now, let’s all, as Jen’s tribe, keep the vibrations high and celebrate the SUCCESS of her boutique, both in-store and online for years to come! 🥳🥳🥳

I was back at River & Rain this week for one-on-one reiki sessions after a long break.

Energy work still contiues to amaze me. It’s a never ending life lesson, a great teacher in not only appreciating the “pause”, but listening to it. When we calm our minds and take a moment out of our busy day, when we pause without thinking or searching for the next plan or errand… we truly gain great perspective.

One might view the pause as a chance for our minds to catch up to what we’ve been feeding it nonstop day after day (and restless nights). I agree with that, but I also believe in a more cosmic guidance. I do believe there is… for lack of the best word for all audiences, spiritual guidance available to us all the time. Whether you beleive in angels, spirit guides, God, etc…the name makes no difference in the fact that this guidance is out of pure love, which is the highest energy vibration.

Reiki allows us to receive this guidance, the client can FEEL the energy shift, the messages are so clear, yet so subtle, that most of us miss them in the everyday chaos of life!

As I did my sessions Monday evening, I too was reminded of this. When I work on a client, Reiki energy flows through me, and I can feel the benefits. I too have to fall into a calm place to receive, I cannot be thinking of my grocery list, my schedule for the next day, what’s for dinner… I must keep my mind in a meditative state to receive for both my client and I.

After finishing up my last session of the evening, I felt so much calmer, my mind was sharp, my body was relaxed… I was tired, but content. I slept great, I felt amazing the next day, and I thought, Why did I take such a long break!? 😂

I will be setting up more dates for sessions at River & Rain in the future. These will be evening sessions as the boutique is open during the daytime through the summer months.

If you are interested in a session with me, please DM me and we can work on some dates!

I hope you are all enjoying the summer, and make sure to take the pause - it’s necessary! 🤗 Sending lots of love and light! ❤️

Good Morning - HAPPY FRIDAY!

I’m popping on here to show you all I’m STILL here 😂. I took some time off to adjust to changes, all for the better, but as you all know, any change (even the good kind) requires some work and a little dedication to developing a new routine.

Eric and I both started new roles in our careers. Eric is working remote 75% of the time rather than driving an hour each way to Mellen, WI. I began my new role full time at the LCO health Center.

My boys finished up traditional school, but have decided they want to try virtual learning and so we are in that transition. Two hours of virtual school work M-F to get them in the swing of things this summer.

We’ve been loving our Little League this spring/summer! ⚾️ My boys have really improved this year, and I can’t believe how hard Adrian can throw a ball! Our last big tournament of the season is tomorrow. Go Radisson Redsox!

As a Reiki practitioner, I always have to be aware of my own energy! If my energy is not grounded and chaotic, the work I do will reflect that. A reiki practice requires you to practice what you preach! 😂

I make sure health and wellness is at the top of my priority list. No matter the changes that happen outside of my body, my wellness is the foundation, my self care routine sets the stage for how the external changes play out. Outside walks before work, lunchtime walks and yoga, combining time with my boys with movement (“mom PLEASE play baseball in the yard with me?!” evenings), hiking 🌲, and ensuring I get a solid lift 🏋️‍♀️ on my days off have been in the works! We stocked our freezer recently with 1/2 Beef from a family owned farm and lucky for me, my day off falls on the day of the Hayward Farmer’s Market for some local produce!

The only piece missing is my energy work and seeing my clients ❤️. I will be getting sessions set up soon River & Rain!

See you all soon! 🤗

Walk barefoot upon the Earth, and feel the pulse of life beneath your feet. With each step, you shed the noise of the world and return to a quiet wisdom older than time. The soil, the grass, the sand, they all whisper the same truth: you are not separate from this Earth, but a part of it. Let its energy rise through your soles, into your body, and awaken your soul to the beauty of being grounded, alive, and whole.

Happy Sunday 🌅

Peace is not a place you arrive at, but a rhythm you return to—soft and sacred, beneath the chaos. It blooms in stillness, in breath, in the gentle art of surrender. You find it not by seeking, but by remembering who you are beneath the noise. In that remembering, in that quiet homecoming, you are whole.

Evenings at River & Rain

I found myself getting frustrated by the weather this week as I have my vehicle in the shop, driving a courtesy car, with many far places to travel. Currently, I am juggling many roles and changes, and life isn’t… chaotic, but rather full. Not even in a bad way, all these appointments and travels are because I chose to try lab work, I chose to level up my passion and take the fitness trainer program, I chose to put my house up for sale this spring. I caught myself frustrated that the weather was slowing down my roll, changing my full schedule around, making my anxiety heighten as I was white knuckling the steering wheel on the icy roads. As if change isn’t hard enough, putting myself out there isn’t enough - the weather was putting on that extra 😣.

On Thursday evening I had got home an hour early from work, decided I was going to workout as soon as I got home and guess what?! I was too damn tired! 😆 I made the easiest meal for dinner, took a long shower, and watched TV for an hour and zonked.

This morning, the sun was shining, I was driving to Prentice, WI where I work (an hour commute) and was thankful for good roads. I left in plenty of time, but the person ahead of me was going brutally slow. 😣- Again, triggered, to have to slow down, grrr! I finally accepted the slower pace and started to make myself listen to my music, look at the sunrise, admire the scenery that I completely was overlooking the past few months because I was too much in my head to notice.

I began to feel my shoulders relax, found myself tapping my thumb to the music, and enjoying the moment.

I don’t know about you all, but when I have many changes, good or bad, I put myself in a mode, and that mode has one setting: FAST AND FURIOUS! I just want to GET to the other side of change! Why? Because change is uncomfortable, it’s unfamiliar, it’s 1 step forward, 2 steps back, it’s unknown and scary. It second guessing this and that- Blah!

Wisconsin Spring weather is very symbolic of this, and I was feeling it this week! Unpredictable, sometimes harsh, sometimes throws your plans out the window, chaotic, but also beautiful some days. It forces you to really appreciate that random sunny 50° day. It forces you to just stay home and look out your window and admire the shimmery icy tree branches.

This post is my reminder, and hopefully for someone out there too, that in order to get to where your heart and soul wants to be, change has to be part of it. To change is to grow. And it isn’t fast and furious, there are MANY stops along the way. You not only grow in the actions, but in the stops as well!

Sending all the love and light!!!

Unstoppable they called her but I saw her stop
I saw her stop
many many times.
Sometimes
I thought she had stopped for good
but no
she always found a way to resurrect.
To rise again.
Not the same never the same.
Each time a little more determined and a little less vulnerable.
Unstoppable they said but I think
it was in the stopping that she found her power.

Good Morning! I’m back from Belize, what an amazing trip! I went believing that my favorite parts would have been all the seafood dinners, or the Mayan ruins hike, the fishing excursion, and celebrating my husband’s 42nd time around the sun, and even just to be warm for a solid week 🌞…

My favorite part of the trip:
1) The Belizeans - Although Belize is classified as an upper middle class income country, the country has many areas of poverty and income inequality. I got to see first hand, some extremes of this, yet, they all had smiles. Every conversation I had with them was full of optimisim, gratitude, light heartedness and humor. We picked up hitchhikers with this attitude, the ladies at the shops, the fishermen, farmers, and all the kids had smiles. It really hit me hard as to some of the inconveniences I complain about about on the daily. Their positive energy was contagious, and I too felt some moments of overwhelming gratitude over the ordinarily things! The locals are experiencing huge changes to their villages, their economy, infrastructure, and working hard to figure out how to preserve their rainforests and stunning coral reefs. We ran into many Americans who permanently had moved there, all with the same words, “The Belizians are genuine good hearted people - we would never go back”

We were down there during the March Blood Moon Eclipse: an eclipse that is meant to reveal something to us that could cause a significant life shift. This may or may not be uncomfortable, uprupt, painful, or an Ah-Ha type moment, or just a moment of clarity, like the curtain has been pulled back.

There is quite a lot to say about this eclipse, but I won’t go down that rabbit hole, 😂- as some of you know my passion around astrology and its significance. However, this is a time where we are beginning something that will unfold in the next chapter of our lives. The moment of clarity may be sudden; however, the change that follows will be slower and will require hard work. We must learn the lessons along the way. Overcoming our obstacles (within ourselves and external) is the greatest teacher moving forward.

I definitely felt a shift the night of the total lunar eclipse full moon. I will be forever changed by my experience in Belize. The LONG travel back I thought on this over and over again. My family and I have big shifts and changes ahead, which I knew going into this trip; however, I am looking at them through a much different lens after returning. My life decisions that will shape the next year of my life need to revolve around what I’m truly grateful for, who matters, how I react within to the challenges of change (because even great opportunities and positive changes can be hard and do require adaptation). Seeing the Belizeans adapt to huge changes beyond their control, all with optimism and gratitude - a lesson for me ❤️ that I am grateful for!

I hope you all are gaining clarity during this eclipse and finding time for yourself when it feels too overwhelming! I see I have a wait list starting for Reiki appointments since I’ve been away, and will be opening up my schedule soon at River & Rain! If you are on my wait list I will reach out to you. If you’d like a session, DM me and I can set that up as well when I get days posted.

Sending all the love and light! 💞

This!!! ❤️

In every difficult situation there will be two things that endure.

Grief and love.
Darkness and light.
Despair and hope.

They will oppose each other in a seemingly constant battle to come out on top, and where one will be gentle and quiet, the other will be loud and rough.

But remember that when you feel overwhelmed by grief
or swallowed by darkness
or swamped by despair...
they do not define you.

Because their opposites are enduring too.
The love is persevering,
the light is growing and
the hope is holding on.

No, you are not the darkness and despair that threaten to break you.

You are the love and the light and the hope.
And just as the spring returns after winter and the night gives way to day, you can rest, you can rise and you can shine again.

And you will. In your own time.

Yes, you will endure. And you will make it through.

*****
