A month filled with mystical, magickal moments through the connection of spirit. Through our harvesting season we connect with the earth in a gratitude manner. You appreciate the food you are able to source. You begin cutting, sealing and packaging your fruits of labour… to be stored for the winter season soon upon us. To have witnessed a seed turn into seedling into a plant and than food is a mystical moment.
In these moments, I am reminded of our ancestors and of their knowledge passed down to us. We are always connecting to the land in a holistic way. The soil that you touch helps ignite your hormones to produce your serotonin, which in-turn helps manage depression.
We are able to grow our own medicines through plant medicine all there for you to reconnect and learn and connect with the magick among mother nature. Mother nature is here for us all no matter race as we each are a part of this land.
Bringing us towards the celebration of Samhain which honours ancestral love, land connection and new beginnings. Before we get deep into this stage of the wheel… let us acknowledged this beautiful season called fall. Look around and take notice of the bright red tops of the trees that shines among our bright sun, which gives our sunsets a golden red/pink. These are moments to cherish!
To see nature gathering their foods, storing and eating so they can hibernate for the winter. I often see squirrels digging through my soil to hide their nuts, and each morning they arrive again to dig them out and eat! Though they make such a mess it is a pleasure to witness their work!! They add to our ecosystem and keep the cycle of nature moving.
I am in love with the sound of the wind and its dance, as you connect your body to the wind around you, you move in a dance, as the trees sway with the winds present.
When you get up and take that brisk walk it heals you and calms your thought as nature heals. Begin to give mother mature your attention and your views will never be the same!!!
The beauty of the sky embraces your smile, the forest heals your soul, the flowers cheer up your heart and the animals keep you grounded.
We are beginning our love letter writing again! I took a break to enjoy some time with myself, family & significant partner!!! I will begin writing again and sharing many nee exciting info & stories! Here we begin with this months requests!!!
VALERY
“Valery is my best friend of nine years. She’s the most supportive and kind person I have ever met. She is always by my side, likes to help others, especially animals, and has a lovely heart.
Some months ago she finally got the courage to leave her job that was underpaid and start a new chapter of life in another big city. Even though she was very scared and frustrated, she did it for a bright future and I am so proud of her. Her family was in an unstable financial situation and she has been working so hard since her teenage years to help her mother and little sister to have a better life.
She is having tough times in a new place, but I know that she can do it. She does not have many friends but has a pure and open heart. She likes art, classical music, museums, and nature.
Valery deserves support and appreciation, and I want to make her believe in miracles, good people, and kindness around us.”
Let her believe in love again. Letters are welcome in English, Spanish & Russian.

AMY & JASON
“My sister Amy is an incredible woman. She has always been committed to seeing the light and joy in life despite her hardships and encourages others to do the same. I call her a spiritual giant. One cannot leave an interaction with Amy without feeling uplifted. However, I know this year has been difficult.
About a year ago, her husband (Jason) was diagnosed with ALS. She’s worked ceaselessly to support him and their three children as ALS continues to take its toll on him. Despite now being wheelchair-bound, Jason maintains his good humor and positive outlook on life.
In August, we had planned a weekend trip to visit them (they live a state away), but when the weekend came, she and her family had Covid so we were forced to cancel. I know love letters would mean a great deal to Amy and her family- especially at this time. If people could send love letters to her and Jason, I know they would be a beautiful reminder of the goodness of life and people, and could help uplift them during difficult times.”
Let us gather around our letters and encourage Amy and Jason during this hard time.

LEANA
“Leana is Matthew’s mom. That is who she has been full-time, non-stop for the last fourteen years, with them spending no more than four hours apart (when he went to “school”). Leana adopted Matthew at birth with an initial diagnosis of Myotonic muscular dystrophy and apraxia, although later it was discovered there were more diagnoses to come. Since her mother’s passing in 2017, Leana has also been his sole source of care. They were told when Matthew was born that there was little chance that he would live to be three. With her strong heart and stronger faith, along with her background in nursing, she provided an environment where Matthew would not only survive but thrive for fourteen years. On August 5th along with her beloved’s picture, Leana posted “The most beautiful, amazing boy ran into the arms of Jesus at 3:44 this afternoon.” He loved music, his bear, his stories, his favorite blankets…and his mom.
Later in a post, she writes “I saw him take his first breath and I held him as he took his last and that’s an honor I will never take lightly. While I would give everything I have to have you with me for 5 minutes longer, I’m so grateful you are no longer in a bed, tied to machines. You are pain free. I’ve tried to think all day, what you might be doing in heaven. How many new friends have you made? How happy grandma was to see you. I wish I could have heard your first sentence and seen you running.”
He was literally her whole world. Please write to encourage Leana at this impossible time. Let her feel your love, prayers, and support.”

PAUL
Paul’s mom wrote this to our community: “I want to nominate my son Paul who in our little town is quite a celebrity and known as the local Matthew McConaughey. He is super chill and loving.
Paul started his own business selling his art and despite his networking, handing out business cards, and posting on social media…it’s slow going. He is extremely talented and it’s frustrating for him to try to live out his dreams but lacking money and time. He works for a local store where hours can be zany and the pay is minimum wage. He is limited by few small-town opportunities which is why his business succeeding is so important!
He has exuded kindness throughout the years, for example, I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015 and went through two years of treatment. I was very sick and he moved back home to care for me and his younger special needs siblings. He did it while working, keeping house, and caring for our animals. He put his life on hold while doing it! He didn’t blink at stepping up! Additionally, we lost his grandmother to cancer last year and she was a big supporter of his and they shared many late night phone calls.
I’m nominating Paul because his spirit is beginning to break. He is losing confidence and you can see a weariness that shouldn’t be in a 27-year-old young man’s eyes. He feels he is fighting a losing battle to be appreciated and successful. He is much beloved by his customers. People all over stop me and ask if I’m his mom because they adore his stories and personality. Despite this, he often feels alone. Depression is sinking in.
Please send him some encouragement! Paul loves Budda, all things Kevin Smith, and enjoys other people’s artistic creations!”

TANIA
“Tania is the best friend anyone could possibly ask for. She is a loving, generous, thoughtful, empathetic, fun, and loyal wife, mother, sister, daughter, friend, and doggy mom! Tania has dedicated her adult life to her husband and two sons. Due to Lupus, Tania suffered several miscarriages, and she was not sure if she would ever be able to carry to term. Just as Tania and her husband, David, had decided to explore adoption, Tania became pregnant again and was blessed with her first son, Gabe. Two years later, Tania gave birth to Benny.
She has enjoyed motherhood more than she even imagined she would. Gabe is starting his sophomore year of college and Benny is starting his senior year of high school. This time of change and transition is difficult for Tania, and she is trying to find her way as her sons are spreading their wings, so to speak. Tania also continues to suffer from chronic systemic lupus. This disease has started to cause kidney dysfunction. She also fights severe chronic fatigue. Sadly, Tania has also started to have liver dysfunction, and her GI doctor is concerned that she may have an ultimately fatal liver disease.
She has so much on her plate, and she smiles and laughs every single day. She is kind to others every single day. She puts others first every single day. Finally, Tania took me in when I needed a home. She does not judge me for being in need – rather she is constantly making me feel like I am the one doing her a favor by living with her and her family. Tania is a truly special human being!”

We speak a lot about self care today. It is important to create a self care routine because it balances you as a human. It helps you to recognize your struggles and make changes needed. Self care is connected to our shadow work which, is always working on your SHIT, as there is no one person that walks this earth that is perfect. It is extremely important to understand you are still a part of the society you are growing up in and needing to adapt to that is as important to our whole being.
At times, I believe we confuse self care and self love with that we get to do whatever we want and its all about ourselves, NO, that is not true. We are among nature and mother earth, that alone tells you we are a community and rely on each other. I had a conversation with a young adult who stated to me, “North America is a toxic environment as people have no real connections. This is a melting pot with no culture or identity which tries to mold us all into one race. Anyone who thinks differently is outcasted or has addiction issues. “ They also stated that within the world of addiction it is not someone just craving substances but the community thats created as once you are sober you are majority of the time doing your own thing.
This is why I bring up the conversation of self care and the connection of community. We are here to make a better version of ourselves for those around us and for ourselves but not SOLELY just you… as that creates a narcissistic person. I see the excuse used, I can’t help others right now or be involved for community as I am working on myself or I have a family. I see through that and if we are honest with what we see around us, there is an increase of narcissism which is why many during these two years were left on their own. These two years, community was not created that is for sure but many of those protests that people bash definitely tried to do that! I ask you rethink about, “What is self care?”
Beginning the sessions of self care: “Home is where the heart is.” A place filled with people and possessions you love. But too often people hold onto stuff they do not need, use or cherish. So how are you going to change your home into your haven?
Looking through fresh eyes what would you need to change in your home to have it reflect your personality, interest and lifestyle. Do this without judgment and allow this to help you place some perspectives.
What would you change to make it the home you desire? Make a list…
Many people tend to hoard, and hold onto things that is unnecessary and clutter puts your mood in a discomfort. We are going into Beltane which always recommends a good spring cleaning. This also helps declutter your mind and creates a stable spirit. Write a mission statement, including the benefits of an uncluttered life, can be a great motivational tool.
Write done reasons to live a clutter free life: make a list and start here. This can be at times an overwhelming feeling. Focus on one category at a time and allow yourself to let go, its the beginning of decluttering our minds! Lets begin here!
I also recommend creating a spiritual cleanse within your home and self. This creates a positive ritual and connects you with our mother earth who will always protect your journey and make you grounded. We need to go back to our land and love the magick it brings us everyday. Sing or speak to your birds as they listen. Going into spring:
🕯Ostara, or the Spring Equinox here in the Northern Hemisphere, is the first of the quarter days, which marks the second of the spring holidays (the mid-point between Imbolc and Beltane). 🕯Ostara is traditionally celebrated on the day of the Vernal Equinox, determined by when the Sun is directly over the earth’s equator (this date may range from March 19th through March 22nd each year depending on the Sun’s position). 🕯Modern Ostara celebrations stem from the contemporary Wheel of the Year, where Ostara is associated with. 🕯Spring Equinox and is celebrated as a time of new beginnings and the re-emergence of life after the depth of winter. 🕯This is a time to start new beginnings, bring in light & love into your hearth. To cleanse the old and bring the new, sense of renewal. Its a time to rebirth and balance your spirit in celebration of all that is green! Crystals to carry: rose quartz, amethyst, snd jaspers.
Create a nature altar through gathering all your greens and manifesting a wreath or walking among nature or spring cleaning & home blessing or embrace fresh honey! 🏹🖤🕯💜🕯💜
Hi everyone with all that has been going on… to help create some peace, calm our spirits and to continue to find gratitude, where we can: I am going to be sharing 21 days of Gratitude/Abundance…
⭐ Day 1 ⭐
Here we go! I highly recommend doing the meditation and the task at the beginning of the day, if possible. It changes the course of the day! But anytime is better than no time, so commit whatever works best for you.
Task
In your new notebook, make a list of 10 people that have influenced your life and 10 things you are grateful for. Think of those who have helped shape you, added value to your life, guided you in any way, and shared sentiments with you. Have a look around your world… enjoy the night sky, feel the sun, enjoy watching the moon… What are you GRATEFUL FOR?
Complete this process slowly, calmly and take your time to gather your thoughts. Feel your thoughts and resonate with those feelings. Allow the positivity to enter into your souls and create a beautiful smile upon your cheeks!
I recommend putting the phone in airplane/do not disturb mode at this time so that no one will interfere with you (children and everyone around you too 🙂 – as much as it is realistic of course 👶🏽❤)
PHRASE OF THE DAY:
Today I behold the abundance that surrounds me
This should also be written in your notebook and remembered during the day as often as possible.
Meditation
The meditation (found in the video following) can be done before or after the task. It’s up to you!
This is the Mantra you will repeat during meditation:
So Hum
DAY 1 RECAP:
Meditation: Listen to the video. Repeat the mantra.
Write the phrase of the day in your notebook:
“Today I behold all the abundance that surrounds me.”
Remember it during the day.
Complete the assignment above in a notebook
All of this is due by the latest Wednesday at 12 am. (Highly recommend staying on top of each daily task if possible.)
Have a great and beautiful day tomorrow as we embark on this journey together! 🤗
“Come from a place of peace and you’ll find you can deal with anything”
