We’re ankle-deep in snow here.
And an old lesson has arrived at the door. Again.
One taught by nature many times before. Yet.
I, perhaps like you, arrive at class to learn it, again, more deeply.
REST.
The still, white blanket outside is like the healing room imagined in my daily self-hypnosis.
There is so much room. There is so much light.
#FlowerMagic of white arrives in Dream time… in shower time… and while washing dishes… The Feminine Flora Force enchants:
“Gardenia.”
“Camellia.”
“Juniper.”
And the questions are asked by the Teacher. Again.
Can you grow still enough to hear the Garden of your Soul?
Can you allow for the external visibility to be obscured and uncontrolled in order for your internal visibility to become clear?
In hushed, and great expectation. YES!
May You Grow Still Enough
by Brother David Steindl-Rast
May you grow still enough to hear the small noises earth makes in preparing for the long sleep of winter, so that you yourself may grow calm and grounded deep within.
May you grow still enough to hear the trickling of water seeping in the ground, so that your soul may be softened and healed, and guided in its flow.
May you grow still enough to hear the splintering of starlight in the winter sky and the roar at earth’s fiery core.
May you grow still enough to hear the stir of a single snowflake in the air, so that your inner silence may turn into hushed expectation.

Know what season we’re in now?
“Wing”
Yes! Wing! ‘Round these Red Bird parts, this is that little window of time before winter’s end and spring’s beginning. We see a little more hope showing up around us. It’s encouraging, brightening, budding – uplifting. And can be entrancing…
It’s a time to honor the wane of winter reaching out to the soon-to-be fling of spring. There is a balance here between the now and the “holy wow!” excitement of lighter days. How are you bridging this natural conclusion and new beginning?
Without rush. With deliberateness.
Winter is deliberate in Her processes, always. Even in these final weeks. Releasing is vital for the next season to Be replenishing.
What is left to release so that you can catch some spring fresh air?
How can our spaces help us take flight – to spread our wings – and catch some air?
While you wait a bit for spring’s arrival where windows and doors may be fully opened, refresh your space indoors with plants and cut flowers that have an upward form. This “movement” provides an energy boost and natural air purifying effects that are both kind to the eye and pleasing to the garden of your mind.
Here’s your #sanctuaryspacemaking tip: Play the matching game.
Sanctuary Insight: These plants or flowers become a talisman or #livingmantra and bridge to the next season. (Bonus! You get to play, touch, buy, arrange, style with plants!!! The thing so many of us are so itching to do in these pre-spring moments!)
Allow your indoor space to serve your personal growth and evolution – reminders of what you have been planting inwardly:
- Be creative
- Be of service
- Be grateful
- Be open
- Be kind to yourself
- #beyourownsanctuary
…and #takegoodcare of your precious self
And so you don’t have to “wing it” alone as you figure out your sanctuary space making…
Because you are ready to move into a deeper connection with self, soul, and your space and to be more clear, clean, confident and connected with healing nature, reach out to me to learn more about how to schedule your Sanctuary InSight Consultation.
These sessions are the easiest and fastest way to sync your inner growth and personal journey with the healing essence of nature around you – what YOU need. These intuitive readings bridge nurturing the garden within with the garden and sacred space around you. My clients tell me that these readings open up possibility, answer deep longing questions, and teach a way to see the landscape that fits so very personally, intentionally, deliberately inspirationally.
