Clarity unfolded, as lady wisdom usually does, while trekking in nature during my backpacking quest in the Maroon Bells a few weeks ago. We are not here to be the sacrifice. We are the altar, the temple, the holy site of reckoning, reconciliation, offerings, and rebirth.
We are the sacred tending the sacred.
Imagine our world if more people embodied the care, the tending, and the honoring of themselves and others. Less violence, less hate, less othering, more holding all as valid, worthy, deserving, valuable.
What do we do with the sacred? We tend, we care, we listen, we quiet, we honor, we cherish. We tend to ourselves, to our relationships, to our bodies, to nature, to others, to what matters.
As the Autumn Equinox doorway between one season and another appears, I invite you to pause and honor the you that brought you to this point in time. Listen, reflect, honor, cherish. This time of year marks a moment of natural balance—when day and night meet in equal measure. The changing leaves, the cooler air, the shifting rhythm of the season, and the elements of earth and metal all offer an invitation to us.
Reflect on what’s been growing, what’s ready to be released, and what might be asking for a little more sacred tending. Notice how, when we see ourselves and the world around us as sacred, what changes.
This season invites a different kind of pace—one that honors your body’s wisdom, your emotional needs, and the parts of you that are still finding their voice. Use your deeper knowing to tend to the parts of your life that you know needing tending. We have space and offerings for you, be the altar. Not the sacrifice.
with tons of love, support, and gratitude,
