cycles of life

there's something about crossing the threshold of seasons that always brings me back to center. a reminder that time is cyclical, not linear. that endings fold into beginnings. that we are always in motion, even in stillness.

winter’s descent

when we got married on the winter solstice, the longest night of the year, i felt that shift in my bones. the weight of all that had been, the sacred pause before stepping into something new. winter, in its quiet, asks us to hold space for the darkness—to honor what has passed, to listen inward, to tend to our inner fire.

as the solstice wrapped me in its stillness, i stood in the glow of candlelight, promising my love + my life to the one who has seen me in all my seasons. the longest night, a sacred threshold—marking the union, the commitment, the deepening of roots. in that moment, there was only presence. the crisp air, the warmth of hands held, the certainty of love enduring.

but the solstice, in all its quiet wisdom, also signaled a descent—a necessary shedding, a journey inward. the weeks that followed were heavy, layered with echoes of past pains, familial reckonings + the raw, unfiltered truth of what it means to break cycles. i faced it all, let it unravel, let the weight of what no longer belonged be known. the mirror was held up + in its reflection, i saw the stories i would no longer carry.

spring’s emergence

and now, as we move toward the spring equinox, i feel something else entirely. a lightness. not because the wounds never existed, but because they no longer define the path forward. this is the season of emergence, of stepping out of the long night + into the warmth of renewal. the weight i carried has been offered to the fire, transmuted into something softer, freer.

this is not forgetting.
this is integration.
this is honoring the lessons while no longer being bound to them.

this season, i'm leaning into that balance. the tender threshold between what was + what will be. in my own practice, in my work, in how i show up for myself + my people. feeling into the shifts, the invitations, the energy that is calling us forward.

seasonal ritual

one of my favorite ways to embody the energy of spring is through intentional flower arranging—a simple, grounding practice that connects us to the renewal all around us. choose an intentional vessel, one that will hold your blooms + be the container for that which you are calling in. as you gather flowers, let each stem hold meaning, mirroring what you want to cultivate this season.

choose blooms that resonate—soft petals for gentleness, vibrant colors for passion, deep greens for stability.
set an intention—as you place each stem, name something you are calling in, releasing, or honoring.
let it be a meditation—arrange mindfully, allowing the process to be intuitive, unhurried + filled with presence.

once finished, place your arrangement somewhere sacred—your altar, your bedside, your workspace. let it be a reminder of the renewal, balance + lightness you are stepping into. let it be a symbol of the season's transition, a gentle nudge toward your own unfolding.

these moments of reflection + ritual are portals in themselves—gateways into deeper awareness, transformation + possibility.

AN invitation

i invite you now to step through your own sacred threshold + into a more embodied version of you. PORTALS is an offering created from this very energy. it is a self-guided journey through the sacred shifts of transformation, reflection + emergence. it's about stepping into the unknown, shedding what no longer serves + moving with intention through the thresholds that open before us.

this spring, we move with:

you are here // presence + grounding—anchoring into the present moment, deepening roots, and finding stability.
releasing what isn’t mine // letting go + surrender—shedding old narratives and making space for new growth.
a new earth // beginnings + expansion—embracing the freedom to create and stepping into fresh possibilities.

PORTALS is an invitation to deep inner work, to step through the threshold of your own becoming. through self-reflection, ritual + intuitive guidance, you will move with the rhythm of transformation in a way that feels organic + true to you.

as we step into this new season, i invite you to embrace the shift in whatever way feels most nourishing. release the weight of winter. open to possibility. move forward with intention, clarity + a little bit of magick.

SENDING LOVE

thank you for being here, for walking this path, for honoring your own cycles of change. may this season bring you clarity, renewal + the space to bloom in your own time. may you step through the portals that call to you with trust, with reverence, with an open heart.

what are you leaving behind in the winter? what are you calling in for spring? the doors are open.
