… a gentle way to reflect. we don’t need to tidy trees, homes, kitchens, AND new year resolutions all at once. that’s unfair and you’ve earned way more than to be limited in all your limitlessness. let’s just take some minutes during all the activities and the movement of the final two weeks of the year to note what worked and what didn’t. let’s give ourselves grace and room to breathe and then, sometime towards the top of january when things settle, we can aim. we can collect and refocus. we can slowly listen to the pace of our hearts and the needing of our wildest dreams. i am so thankful to have done so much time along side you this year. we are building something so special… a true Homecoming. i love you. too much. forever. xoxo kb. 

diving into full swing holidays and testing all our *knowing* of what we need the very most! whew! i see you. i hear you. let’s talk about solutions for maybe rounding out some holiday plan sharper edges. in a plot twist of the holiday pummel, i offer that the ball is actually in your court. i also return to my favorite term “unhosting” …. oh just the sound of it feels like freedom. and just like vivian in pretty woman, “You’re right. We say who, we say when, we say how much” yikes - bad reference if you know the movie but you get where i’m headed. grounding ourselves in what we know we need most. it’s Homecoming and this is a fun exercise in enjoying the sacred quiet of the biggest gift. i love you. too much. forever. sorry again for the pretty woman reference… just the words match. everything else is a little off.

in a world of lap sitting, we take a moment to talk about trusting our intuitions. an honoring of our guts from wishlists to hosting this holiday season. all the ways the world tries to noisy up the most sacred of seasons and the weird ways it wants us to sit on strangers … get in. get cozy. let’s talk boundaries with santa, grandparents, creepy uncles and the way you don’t have to do a thing that doesn’t settle well. i love you. too much. forever. protecting you always.

when i think of Homecoming and the work, maturity, calm, passion it takes to return to one’s self, cassie sits at the top of my heart. she embodies a beautiful determination and a strong sense of knowing herself. she holds love and compassion near and dear. she is gentle, strong, loving and living life on purpose. she shares her journey in recreating. identifying valleys of wasn’t working in a one-step-at-a-time approach of the dark messy parts of addiction and its stronghold on the family system. her steadiness to heal herself and her family bled over to a remodel of structure in her marriage and relationships. 

if we had to crown someone Homecoming Queen, my cherished friend deserves the sash and all standing ovations. i am proud of her, proud to be her friend, honored to walk along side her, and over the moon to share such a special human with yall. thank you for curling up with one of the most top tier heartbeats in my orbit.  

“this path is anointed” indeed.

a lot rests on our hearts and shoulders this week. election season is loud and heavy and name cally ((i am making up words bc why not)). 

we are holding so much and staying hopeful. today i want you to hear that time is abundant and the pace of the world will not sweep over your steadfast knowing. we cannot be budged when we know where we are planted. i pray you feel your beautiful roots. that you continue to rest in your stunning intuition. 

i love you and i hope you know how special you are.

xoxo kb.

asking yourself what you need is half the knowing in homecoming season. being able meet the need with a cold glass of water, prayer, a walk, meditation, a slow morning, a hot tea, or even a good cry… that’s the momentum in the coming back to ourselves. what you do with all your “one more minutes” is the building site for a stronger, more in tune version of you. snuggle in and let’s talk mornings, nighttime, minutes in between, life abundant. you aren’t ever alone and Homecoming is a season that can last as long as we need it to last. the minutes beyond one more matter most and so do you. 

i love you. too much. forever

the road to yourself is composed of so many aspects of health and healing. we sit down with sara macmillan PT, DPT to talk about all things pelvic floor and the proper way to take great care of our female bodies. from breathing, timing out, walking, kegel like a jellyfish, this very much a case of “started from the bottom now we’re here”. sara is one of my favorite heartbeats and instrumental in my postpartum recovery. get in and get cozy with us while we rebuild muscles and confidence from the ground up.  you matter. your body matters. and quite honestly, not peeing your pants does too.

i love you. too much. forever

one more minute 

a really tender and vulnerable time with you. this one is a leap of faith and of hope. it’s left me with a nervous // anxious // too much kind of belly which is exactly how i know it needs to live and have breath out in the wide world. i need you to know that you are really loved. i mean that. it gets lonely out there. it gets heavy and unbearable sometimes. i was there. that place of shallow breathing and surrounding weight of dark getting darker. i am here to tell you it will not stay this way. i know some of you won’t believe me. but i just need you to really try. it. will. not. stay. this. way. 

slowly light will come. slowly it will lift. please lean in and please look up. you are needed in this story. and there is something you cannot, in wildest imagination, predict about your future. you can’t even brainstorm the way things will shift for the better.

as i type this i am 5 million minutes, 3 babies earth-side, one baby in Heaven, one husband, one decade, heartbreak, healing in the bank on the other side of the darkest minutes of my life. those sweeps of dark still come but i remind myself i have made it a million times over and i will make it still. 

please promise me you will spend 40 minutes with me and one more minute after, and another, and another. slowly your minutes and breaths will begin to add up to life abundant. all of your darkest parts can’t exist when there is even a sliver of light. your dark makes you human and your humanness is exactly why i love doing life along side you. 

if you or someone you know struggles with depression, please reach out to a lifeline by way of prayer, therapist, trusted // safe heartbeats in your circle. the national suicide direct line is 988. this is not over. 

the world needs you. we need you. all of us.  i love you. all of your dark parts. too much. forever.  xoxo ::: kb.
