  • Waiting for a sign?

    Lately I’ve been noticing how opportunities rarely knock like a parade—they whisper. A nudge to make a phone call. A conversation with a stranger at the feed store. A quiet idea that floats in while I’m walking the pasture with the Herd. When I stay curious and keep looking, doors I didn’t even know were there begin to open.

    My practice:…

  • Sacred Circles

    When someone says “you can’t,” they’re naming “their” ceiling—not yours.

    In our Sacred Circles, we practice hearing a different voice: the one inside you that knows. We breathe together, slow the nervous system, witness without fixing, and speak truth with warmth. Limits loosen. Possibility returns. Belonging makes bravery easier.

    If you’re…

  • Trust

    Some mornings I walk the tree line and let the wind chimes pray first. I breathe in the resin of pine, breathe out the ache I’m carrying, and talk with God the way I’d talk with a dear friend—no fancy words, just honesty. Step by steady step, strength returns. When I pause to wait, I remember: nothing is wasted here—not breath, not time, not…

  • Keep Hope Alive

    Some evenings the world feels heavy and quiet. I’ve learned to step outside, put a hand on my heart, and let one gentle breath become a bridge to tomorrow. Dawn always finds a way through—sometimes as a phone call you didn’t expect, a fresh yes inside your chest, a child’s laugh, or the courage to take one next loving step.

    If today is hard,…

  • What are you longing to receive?

    Years ago, during one of the hardest seasons of my life, a family message landed sharp and fast. My first impulse was to armor up and fire back. Instead, I stepped outside to the pasture, put a hand on my heart, and let the horses’ breath slow mine. I whispered, “May I send what I want to receive.”

    I wrote a different reply—clear, warm, and…

    • Learning to respond, rather than react, has become instrumental to my spiritual awakening, which this post brings to light.

  • The Art of Unready

    The Art of Unready is exactly how our Sacred Circles begin. We don’t wait to be polished—we arrive as we are. We breathe, we listen, we let the mess be welcome. In that brave, tender space something opens: your smaller self (the one that doubts) meets your higher self (the one that already knows). Fear becomes a bridge we cross together—one…

    • Thank you for sharing this with us, Gloria! I have found tremendous strength and support from the members of my weekly circles, and I appreciate what you said about honest words spoken slowly.♥️

      Words matter, as someone pointed out during the Virtual Retreat last weekend.

      Words matter a great deal, and the deeper I go on my spiritual journey,…

  • Self-sabotage

    I believed for years that “keeping the peace” meant staying quiet.
    If I had a need, I swallowed it. If something hurt, I softened it with a smile. I told myself I was being kind, but inside I felt smaller and smaller. That old myth—“good relationships have no conflict”—was really self-abandonment dressed up as love.

    One evening, after a long day…

  • Magic

    Her giggles are pure stardust.
    When my youngest granddaughter snuggles in close, I feel time soften. She reminds me that I’m still becoming, too—one present breath, one brave choice, one tender laugh at a time.

    If you need the reminder today: you are not the same person you were a year ago. Keep growing. Let your strengths root deeper and your…

  • Conscious Relationships

    Some transformations happen in circles, not straight lines.

    This is my older brother and me. We haven’t always seen eye to eye. We grew up with different roles, carried different stories, and for a long time our conversations could spark more heat than light. But we kept showing up—messy, honest, learning as we went.

    What changed everything…

  • Mud Happens!

    Not my pup—just the perfect mascot for today’s theme: mud happens.

    I hear Zig Ziglar’s line in my head—motivation doesn’t last… neither does bathing. Both are daily.

    That’s true for me, too. I don’t “feel like it” every morning. But small rinses help: a glass of water before coffee, three slow breaths with my hand on my heart, a quick walk with…

  • Lasting change...

    Some of my favorite lessons have been taught at the kitchen counter with flour on our hands.

    This was one of those afternoons—just me and my grandson dipping chicken in buttermilk, shaking it through the crumbs, and listening to the sizzle. He asked a hundred curious questions, and I loved every single one. We counted pieces, took turns, and…

  • So much LOVE!

    This photo makes me smile every time I see it. My son and his three children — caught in a moment of pure, unfiltered living.

    Oscar Wilde’s words ring so true: “To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.” Watching them laugh, play, and love so freely reminds me that living isn’t about perfection or control — it’s…

  • Alignment

    This quote resonates deeply with me because it beautifully captures what true success feels like.

    For me, success has never been about achievement alone — it’s about alignment. It’s about waking up each day with a sense of purpose, doing the inner work to grow into my fullest potential, and allowing that growth to ripple outward in ways that…

  • Returning

    Returning to the family farm always stirs something deep within me.
    It’s a place filled with memories — of love, loss, resilience, and healing. Every time I walk these fields, I’m reminded of how life continues to move, grow, and renew, even after the hardest seasons.

    “Never give up on someone, miracles happen every day.” Those words hold such…

  • Strong people

    This truth has taken me years to fully understand — and even longer to live.

    There comes a point when your heart recognizes its own worth so deeply that it no longer fights to be seen, heard, or chosen. Strong people don’t stop caring… they simply stop chasing what isn’t meant for them.

    Walking away isn’t weakness. It’s a sacred act of…

      Thank you for sharing this post full of wisdom.

      – When we stop searching outside ourselves for peace and happiness…

      – When we pause to observe our words, actions, and thoughts, and notice how much of who we are reflects others’ beliefs, expectations, teachings, fears, need for control…
