​This week's newsletter is in honor of a very dear friend of mine. I've known this beautiful woman for over half of my life. She's family and I have nothing, but love and admiration for her.

She is the eternal optimist; you know, the one that would wake up on a girl's weekend at sunrise bouncing around from bed to bed singing the "wake up, wake up" song after a night of cocktails and late night shenanigans.

Always the one to check you for negative self talk and encourage you to use words that are inspiring and kind to your body.

She believes that love and kindness are magical super powers and she's always there to cheer you on.

She is a scientist and a homeschool teacher. She's a mother and a gardener who manages a yard full of herbs and vegetables and trees all budding happily around her home.

She's an advocate for the environment and the one who always makes homegrown organic hippy shit that you're never too sure about until you try it and then you're like, "wow, that really doesn't have any dairy or sugar or gluten in it." Laughing, but so true. She is smart and funny and creative and full of joy. Literally, a ray of sunshine.

Yep, that's Julie Cassetta right there; the author of Magical Mia: Kindness is Contagious. She's been secretly writing this book because you know, if she had told any of us girls then she would have been held accountable, right?? So instead, she just randomly shares on a group text, "Hey ladies, I just published my first children's book." What? You did? Of course you did.

Julie's daughter who is also a ray of sunshine (apple doesn't fall from the tree) was the inspiration; yearning to instill confidence, courage, and a sense of empowerment in her daughter and other young children. Magical Mia - Kindness is Contagious, empowers children to use their kind words and actions to spread joy and happiness wherever they go.

I got all the feels when I read it for the first time. We need more messaging like this for our young children. I'm so proud of this woman and I hope you go to Amazon right now and buy her book. Whether you're a grandparent or a parent or an aunt or a uncle or a teacher, I'm sure you know somebody in your life who could benefit from a little kindness.

I'm so proud of you Julie Cassetta.

Love & Light

Life doesn't get much better than this my friends.

If you've never had the pleasure of participating in a sound journey, you're missing out.

I mean c'mon, look at us!! Lovely, right?

Fun Fact: The human body is made up of trillions of cells.

Each of those cells are made up of molecules and each of those molecules are made up of atoms and each of those atoms are made up of sub-atomic particles. Sub-atomic particles are energy and energy is in a constant state of motion. 

Simply put: We are energy!! Sound healing works on the vibration of our energy by slowing down the brain waves, which has a healing affect in the body.

It's very calming and relaxing and you're almost always guaranteed a good night's sleep.

My daughter was exposed to many different healing modalities while I was pregnant so she has a very deep spiritual understanding even though she's not fully conscious of it. I love sharing these sacred moments with her.

And I love sharing sacred moments with you on the mat. Two offerings this week. Live Stream Sunday and Plum Tree Monday at the Artists Loft.

Love & Light,

Let's be the LOVE the world needs.

Everyone experiences loss or some sort of heartache at some point in their life; even those who live a privileged life. Grief, on the other hand, is a whole different story. 

Deep mournful loss doesn’t hit everybody, but when it does, you better hold on. It’s a kind of stress you'll feel in the pit of your stomach and the back of your throat. It will, at times, make you physically sick and you will beg to a God you’re not even sure exists. It will cast a shadow of doubt and the darkness will bring a sorrow that will ache (deeply). 

You will cry. You will scream. You will fall into a slump and let days pass you by. Some days you’ll wonder how you even got out of bed or got your kid to school. Other days you’ll see the sun and feel the light and sense a glimmer of hope and the next day you’ll wake up and there will be another wave that will take you to your knees and you will (literally) think you're dying. 

It will feel like a long and painful death like somebody is (slowly) squeezing the life out of you and you’ll wonder if it will ever end, but I promise you, it will end and you will survive. 

You have to come face to face with yourself and sit in your truth and then you must surrender your fear and give up the need for control. You must release the shame, guilt and resentment you've been carrying around for years and there is no way around it. The only way through it is through it. And it will be hard and you will want to give up, but you have to keep going. You have to keep moving. One day, one step, one breath at a time. 

And then it will end and you will be without feeling. You won't know what to do. You’ll just be there in the moment on the other end of it and you'll be grateful, but vulnerable and tired and unsure of what’s next. Your old life as you knew it will be gone and you will feel a sense of loss. 

The thing you just survived will always be a part of you and you will be forever changed, but you will be more like yourself than you've ever been and you will feel a sense of love and empathy you've never felt before. You're life will have more meaning and purpose and you will find a new way of being in the world.

The loss of a business ... depression ... a disability ... mental illness ... divorce ... adultery ... sexual abuse ... discrimination ... suicide ... death ... cancer ... loss of a child ... this is the kind of shit that will turn you inside out. It's deep and dark and will break you into a million pieces, but then there will be light and you will rebuild yourself in to the person you were always meant to be. 

We are survivors by nature and emotionally equipped to handle these sorts of things, but some are more able than others so we have to learn how to help our brothers and sisters when they are in need. We’re in this life together and I will make it my life’s mission to gracefully guide others through difficult times. Whether in real estate or on the mat, I will hold your heart and I will hold it like I've held my own, tenderly and lovingly.

Love & Light,
BeAnne
