Present moment
This has been an interesting week of celebrating and letting go. My husband and I celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary and our youngest son is moving to Missouri tomorrow to start a new career. I’ve been thinking about all the ways we have all grown, let go, and transformed over the years, both individually and as a family. It is a reminder of the adage that we are only promised the present moment. The past is gone, the future hasn’t arrived, but this moment, the one right now as you are reading this, is the moment we are promised. It is an opportunity to take a full breath and take in all that is in this moment, letting go of judgement as we are able and offering ourselves compassion and acceptance for what is.
Monday brings a Full Moon in Capricorn which pushes us to balance the emotional energy of Gemini season with the concrete, structured energy of Capricorn. Tanazz from Forever Conscious indicates that,“Finding a balance between allowing our emotions to flow and seeing things from a more black-and-white perspective is the perfect way to use the energies of the 2026 Capricorn Full Moon.”
Please join me online for Saturday Morning Yoga this weekend as we pause, listen to our bodies, and care for them with lovingkindness.
I am looking forward to hosting my next Restorative Summer Sound Bath on Saturday July 11 3-4 PM MT in person at Harmonist Sanctuary or virtually. Please join me to restore your body, mind, and spirit with the healing vibrations of crystal singing bowls, chimes, and more.
SAVE THE DATES! My dear friend Andra Brill and I are starting a new opportunity leading Circles of Audacious Wise Women.

The first group is scheduled October 4, 11, 18, & 25 1-3 PM @ Harmonist Sanctuary. More information on registration will be coming soon.
