Happy Sunday Lives!

We’re in the last few days of focusing on Joy. My biggest Joy? The quiet, rest and napping that this seasons begs you to do. Holy crap! It’s my new super power. My rested brain is magic.

The biggest shift that’s been happening is this last push of energy around release. What is your life inviting you to release? To end? To let go?

I don’t who released whom, but it feels like Steve released me. The energy shift is big and exciting.

We’re going to do a lot of releasing work for the next six weeks and I shred some poses and journaling ideas to help you either settle in with whatever you’ve been wanting to release or let go of what you’ve been resisting.

Take a moment to listen, share with your family and friends and then open your calendar to make sure you don’t miss anything upcoming.

Love you!

Melissa. 💚

Happy Saturday and Welcome Back Melissa!

Loves,

I took more quiet time. I processed, rested and was still. It was the best thing I could have not planned.

I’ll talk more soon, but it was the one year anniversary of Steve’s death. I was quiet.

I waited for the inspiration to record and I’m so glad I did. This weekend is the new moon arms am open portal for manifesting all the way into mid 2026.

I hope yours feeling the joy of the season arms this new moon is Sagittarius.

Love you all!

Melissa. 💚

Hello my loves!

I’ve been quiet, taking naps, resting and being still and it’s been absolute Joy. I love how powerful my brain gets when I step away from being busy and I take care of any mental or emotional exhaustion right away.

At first I got quiet because Thanksgiving was the last milestone without Steve, my last first and then this powerful Cold Full Moon rolled in and it just really hit me. These super moons are a lot.

Then my rested and still brain started connecting dots and it’s been so exciting and inspiring. I am so ready for The Year of the Horse, but first I invite you to join me and clear some energy from 2025.

Take a listen, share with your friends and family. oh! And then join us for Zoom Restorative Yoga Monday 12/8. Yoga by donation helps us feed people and is part of your Seva practice.

I love you,

Melissa 💚

Happy Tuesday Loves!

I hope you had a lovely long weekend full of family, friends, love and most of all, Joy!

I have overflowing Gratitude for all of you and how you show up with your love and support for me, but especially how we all took care of our community members for the holiday. Thank you so much!

I also have a lot of gratitude for a quiet week, being still and reflecting, napping, assessing the year and starting to daydream a bit about 2026. Unfortunately, I recorded the podcast Sunday and it didn’t post. So, heres a little gift of Sunday reflections on a Tuesday.

Enjoy!

Happy Wednesday Loves!

Last week we pulled the Listening card and I took some time to listen to the rhythm I’ve been craving mind/body/spirit. So, I didn’t record all week till today.

My brain started filtering for Joy! Has yours made the shift? It took me a little longer than it sometimes does. It’s another part of Listening and Serenity, the other card I pulled last week. I have so much gratitude for these words that draw me into the best parts of our practice and my life.

Thanks again to our yoga sister, Sarah, for her $40 donation to our Thanksgiving Grocery Boxes Project and her continued support of the Grocery Box Program. Her donation bought a Thanksgiving meal for one of our families. We are looking to feed a few more families, so listen, enjoy and share and then shoot me a text to make a donation for the grocery boxes. Any amount helps proved a meal and leftovers and any extra cash goes right into our Xmas boxes fund.

So much gratitude and Joy because of all of you!

Love,

Melissa 💚

Happy Wednesday Loves!

Our word is Joy and while I didn’t mention it in this episode, I want to remind you to do a mind-week check-in. How Aligned are you with the intention you set Sunday with Joy?

I’ll admit I wasn’t doing so great. Today I finally shifted from our last word, Align to fully step into deepening my joy practice. It’s sooo good.

What are you doing to step into joy?

I also mentioned that Brené Brown keeps popping up from how we can’t selectively numb, to the unraveling that happens in our 40s and 50s to shake and guilt are low vibrations.

Obviously my brain has been buzzing. I hope you enjoy!

Love you,

Melissa 💚

Happy Sunday!

Let’s take a bit of time together to he quiet and focus in on Joy. This week I had a little trouble moving away from focusing on Align to put all of my attention o. Joy.

It worked in my favor and I’m starting to see a future that’s well Aligned with my heart.

How was your week? Did you shift into Joy better than I did? It’s all a journey and things are happening the way they’re supposed to.

We have some fun things coming up and some birthdays to acknowledge. It’s going to be such a Joy-filled session!

Love you!

Melissa 💚

Happy Thursday Loves!

I mentioned in the last episode that I’d pull cards for the week and then I forgot. I guess I was so excited about our new word that I got distracted.

Today’s episode is a mini. Just a quick hello to let you know I’m thinking of you and to hello you stay on track with your intention this week.

We are diving deeper into our Seva practice this session. So, plan on joining us to make our grocery boxes even better than they have been all year!

I love you!

Melissa 💚

Happy November Lovelies!

On Friday we said goodbye to Align and I spent a day or so reflecting on all the lessons I learned last session. Align brought me to gratitude, and so much clarity. So much clarity.

It inspired me to re-examine my core values and take a look at how well Aligned my actions are with my values.

We have a lot of ease this session and I shared some new , fun things coming up that align with our new word. Take a listen, enjoy and share with your friends and family.

Love your!

Melissa 💚

Happy Sunday!

We’re finally having fall here in Lawrence, loves. I hope you’re enjoying October. Now that it feels like spooky season, I’m super excited.

As on so many Sundays I invite you take time to set intention. To help us shape the week I pulled cards from Tricia Hersey’s Rest Deck and Doreen Virtue’s Healing With Angels Cards. Pulling cards is a great way to help shape a meditation, journaling or a practice-and of course to hold to and bring you back into the moment.

This week, Al times US central:

Monday Zoom Pop-Up Restorative Yoga 8:30p

Saturday Zoom Pop-Up Somatic Flow 8:30a

Sunday. In-person Practices for Peace mini-retreat 1-4p, location TBA

I’d love to see you on the mat this week! Got a pop-up request? Text 785-760-5412.

Love you!
