🦋 Sometimes the Light Doesn’t Come From the Sun
What if the answers you are searching for don’t come from more advice but from being deeply heard? This year’s Summer Solstice arrived with rain.

🦋 Stop Dress-Rehearsing Tragedy: Choosing Presence Over “What If”
For me, this week has been full in the best way; movement, reflection, insight, and deep internal noticing.
