Yes to presence, connection, and the joy of letting things wait. So here’s your summer permission slip—plus a few reflections,...

June 12, 2025 The Power of No—and the Joy in a Well-Chosen Yes Hello friends! 🌞 And... Hello summer! There’s something about this season that invites us to slow down, breathe deeper, and check in with what we really want. As the days stretch longer and the pace loosens, it’s a natural time to pause and ask: What am I saying yes to? And just as importantly: What am I ready to say no to?
